Meng Tianchu asked them to wait outside, and he hurriedly came to Xusong's body, hugged the corpse, the corpse's head was hung in the rope sleeve, he hugged the corpse and sent it up, loosened the corpse's head from the rope sleeve, and then carefully placed it on the ground, probed his snort, touched the jugular vein, there was no snort, no pulse. Picking up his fingers, he found that the fingertips were already cold, and a faint dark purple corpse spot had appeared. Nothing else is needed to say that he is dead. However, Meng Tianchu still cautiously opened the deceased's eyes to check the pupils, and found that the pupils had been fixed and could be squeezed and deformed. Confirmed deceased.

At this time, Xia Fengyi and Feiyan had already heard the shout, put on their dresses and ran to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and when they saw the corpse of Xusong on the ground and the cloth belt still tied around their necks, they also screamed and hid to the side, not daring to look again.

Meng Tianchu only briefly inspected the face of the corpse and the strangulation marks on his neck, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He walked to the door and asked the abbot Xuanyin, "Master, how did you find the body?" ”

Abbot Xuanyin said: "After the poor monk got up, when he was doing morning classes to worship the Buddha, he found that the door of Xusong's room had been closed, thinking that he was still sleeping, so he wanted to knock on the door and ask him to get up and pack his things, so that he could go down the mountain with you when the time came." But after knocking for a while, the door was still closed, and I called a few times, but I didn't hear anyone answer, so it didn't feel good. ”

Meng Tianchu interjected: "How did the abbot find out that something was wrong? ”

Xuanyin said: "Because if the virtual pine has gone down the mountain by itself, the door of the house cannot be bolted from the inside, so the poor monk detoured to the back window, and found that there was a window in the back window that was not latched, and opened it to take a look, only to find that the virtual pine was hanging on the beam, and the poor monk hurriedly opened the window to check and found that the virtual pine had been hanged." Then the poor monk opened the door and came out to call for someone. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and said, "So, before I came, only the abbot had entered this room alone?" ”

"Yes!" Abbot Heshidao.

Qin Yiyun snorted on the side: "Xusong, this little bald donkey, has followed the abbot to become a monk in Tingsong Temple since he was a child, and this time he was kicked out of the mountain gate by his master, he must have been ashamed, so he hanged himself and died." ”

He was annoyed that Xusong had something to do with his wife, and watched the free passionate live performance of him and the maid Jiwen, and now although he saw that he had hanged, he was still unforgiving.

Zhang Zhenyu also sighed on the side: "After all, this kid is young, he can't withstand such a blow for a while, we were stunned by Mrs. Qin's murder last night, and we were negligent for a while, we should enlighten him more, maybe there won't be such a thing." ”

Abbot Xuanyin sighed: "Amitabha, blame the poor monk for being too impatient, if you talk to him slowly, he may not take this road, alas~!" ”

Meng Tianchu smiled coldly: "It is too early to assert that Xusong died by suicide now. ”

Xuanyin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Master Meng Shi say this?" ”

"It's nothing, when I have examined the body, maybe the truth will be revealed! You are waiting for me in the hall of the Great Majesty, and no one is allowed to leave! ”

Then, Meng Tianchu instructed Lao He Tou to bring his forensic physical evidence investigation box first, and then go down the mountain to report to the local yamen.

Qin Yiyun said: "No! Now that the little monk Xusong is dead, all of us are suspicious, you let him go down the mountain to report, what if the murderer is him, he is going to run away? ”

"The murderer is not him!"

"Why?"

"What did Lao He do to kill the little monk?"

Qin Yiyun didn't think about it and said, "I don't suspect it, because I have no reason to kill the little monk." ”

"Of course you have!" Meng Tianchu said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Qin, why did you forget, he and your lady once had an appointment with the pine forest in front of the temple, and he also spied on you and your maid making love, and you wanted to kill him last night!" ”

"I ......" Qin Yiyun was speechless for a while, "I didn't kill him, I have been sleeping with my Ji Wen in the room." ”

"I didn't say you killed me now. I'm just saying that Lao He Tou is the least suspected of committing a crime, so we have to send someone down the mountain to report the crime. ”

Qin Yiyun had to fight the cow: "Then why don't you send the old monk to go?" As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was wrong, the little monk committed the color ring and damaged the reputation of the temple, although the old monk killed the little monk because of this, which is a bit far-fetched, but compared to the old He Tou's motive for killing, after all, it can be said, so the old monk is also suspected of committing a crime, so he changed his words again: "Don't call the old monk, call Zhang Zhenyu and Zhang Gongzi to go down the mountain, how about it?" There's no reason for him to kill the little monk, right? ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head: "Zhang Gongzi has no reason to kill the little monk Xusong, but he slept alone last night and had time to commit the crime, so the suspicion cannot be ruled out." ”

Zhang Zhenyu sneered: "I'm too lazy to run away!" Whoever of you likes to go, I'm not going anyway! ”

Zhang Zhenyu was reluctant to go, and Qin Yiyun couldn't help it, and said: "That old He Tou also has a ...... when he committed crimes" As soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered that Old He Tou had been guarding He Wang in the room last night, but it was hard to guarantee that he would not sneak out to kill people under the pretext of going to the toilet or something, so he hurriedly said: "You wait, I'll go and ask He Wang!" ”

Qin Yiyun hurriedly ran out and entered the wing where He Wang was being held. After a while, the words came out: "He Wang said...... said that Lao He Tou did not go out all night. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "He Wang is a criminal and can't leave, now there are only three women left, anyway, I won't let my lady or maid go down the mountain to report the case, Shopkeeper Qin, how about you ask your Ji Wen to go down the mountain to report the case?" ”

"That'...... How can that work! Qin Yiyun waved his hand again and again, paused, and said, "Okay, let Lao He Tou go down the mountain to report the case, but what if he runs away?" ”

"If he escapes, it will be a non-confession, proving that he has a ghost, and just arresting him at sea."

"Well, that's fine!" Qin Yiyun nodded.

Lao He Tou went down the mountain to report the case.

After Lao He Tou left, Meng Tianchu took the forensic physical evidence investigation box into the Xusong wing, closed the door, took out a pair of gloves from the investigation box and put them on.

The first thing that needs to be solved is the cause of death of the little monk Xusong, and only when it is determined that Xusong was killed by him, on-site investigation or estimating the time of death and the like become necessary. And just a cursory inspection, I found a lot of problems, now calm down and investigate carefully.

Meng Tianchu first took off all of Xusong's clothes and pants and conducted a body surface examination.
