Chapter 32: Clever Mistakes
Leng Yi continued: "On the way to chop wood, you pretended to see the ghost of the fat man's wisdom and fell off the cliff to your death, but in fact you hid on the edge of the cliff and you had already found a place in advance. And before that, you had placed a corpse under the cliff, which you must have dug up from the new grave that you had buried yesterday under the hillside of the temple. Carry it to the cliff and throw it down, fake it as you. And you take advantage of the work of the thin man Ming Shou to go down the mountain to inspect the corpse, return to the temple, get down from the ladder you set up in the wall beforehand, find an excuse to enter the kitchen, such as forgetting the wood knife or something, and then kill the fat man Ming. -- I don't know the question here, but how did you know that someone would be buried yesterday under the hillside in front of your temple. And it happens to be a half-grown boy about the same height as you? β
Mingkong smiled, a kind of laughter that his masterpiece was appreciated. He said slowly: "A few days ago, the nearby village asked us to do a ritual for a dead child, because it was a child of a poor family, there was no oil and water, so the abbot arranged for me to go alone, and I saw that the dead man was about the same height as me, so I had this idea. β
Leng Yi sighed: "I understand now, why did you choose to kill people when I, the magistrate, were in your temple." It turned out that I was afraid that this corpse would rot after waiting too long, and it would be difficult to disguise. Forced. β
"Then do you understand how I killed them?"
Leng Yi smiled: "This is very simple, I thought of it when you killed Chef Mingyuan for the first time." β
"What's that?"
"Tofu!" Leng Yi said: "Frozen tofu that is frozen harder than stones!" - You can hide a piece of tofu in the snow outside the kitchen door, and it will be enough to freeze it like a stone overnight. You know they're going to make tofu brains in the morning, and after smashing their heads with frozen tofu, because there is tofu on the table and on the floor, you don't have to figure out how to deal with the murder weapon, just throw it on the ground in front of the stove and let it be there. As the temperature rises in the kitchen after the fire, the ice of the frozen tofu will soon melt, and who would have thought that the murder weapon would be a piece of soft tofu! The reason why I can see through your trick is actually very simple, because although the tofu is thawed on the outside, it is not completely thawed on the inside, and you only need to observe carefully to see it. β
Mingkong smiled, smiling very reluctantly: "You are so good!"
Leng Yi said: "Now, do you need me to find you a ladder to come down?" β
"Of course!" Mingkong smiled: "Otherwise, how can I get down?" β
Leng Yi turned to his abbot and said, "Which of you is going to bring the ladder." β
Hanging eyebrows and said clearly: "I'll go!" β
The ladder was quickly carried and erected on the Buddha.
Leng Yi said to his abbot and the others: "You all go out, this county has something to say to this kid!" β
The abbot hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, this son killed three people in a row, which is very cruel, and one person should not talk to him alone." β
Leng Yi smiled and said, "He's only a half-old child, so what?" Let's all get out! The county has its own plans! β
The abbot and the others hurriedly agreed and withdrew from the main hall. Leng Yi said to Zhuo Qiaoniang again: "You also go out." β
"Concubine ......"
Leng Yi looked at her and shook his head slightly: "I want to talk to him alone, go out!" The words are full of majesty and are not negotiable. Zhuo Qiaoniang had no choice but to nod and retreat.
Leng Yi fastened the door of the main hall, turned back to Ming Kong and said, "You can come down." β
Mingkong smiled and said, "The eldest master is not afraid that I will run?" β
"You're not going to run." Leng Yi smiled, "I believe that your crime is excusable. β
Mingkong's expression darkened, and he didn't speak again, he slowly descended the ladder. He stood still, for a moment, as if he were making a difficult decision.
Finally, he slowly turned around, looked at Leng Yi, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, walked up to Leng Yi, bent over, pulled out a sharp knife from his sleeve, and said to Leng Yi: "You shouldn't believe me, I killed three people, as long as I have the opportunity, I won't let anyone here, including you!" β
Leng Yi's eyes showed a look of surprise and horror: "You ......, don't mess around!" I am...... Imperial Court Officer! β
"Kill you, and you'll be just a dead corpse! Who wants you to expose me? I can only kill you, to blame, I can only blame you for being too smart! No! It's not smart, you shouldn't have kicked him out, you're smart but you're being smart! If I kill you, you can hide and kill them one by one! - However, I will not kill your wife, she is the only person in the world who is good to me, and I will leave her with a surname. However, in order to prevent her from telling the truth, I will pretend to be a ghost and scare her crazy. It's kind of repaying her. β
"Mingkong, you ......, you can't be obsessed with ...... anymore!"
Mingkong sneered, and the sharp knife in his hand stabbed towards Leng Yi's heart!
While!
Mingkong felt that his sharp knife was stabbed on a hard thing, and he couldn't get in for half a minute! He was stunned.
At this moment of stunnedness, his wrist had been firmly grasped by Leng Yi, his thumb clasped the vein, and then he turned his wrist and pressed his elbow with a move, twisting Mingkong's arm to restrain him.
The Mingkong vein gate was buckled, and he was paralyzed with one hand, and Leng Yi easily snatched the sharp knife in his hand.
Mingkong suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbed the elbow of his restrained right arm, and pulled it down suddenly, just as he heard a click, the elbow joint of his arm was dislocated! Out of the gripping control, he suddenly turned around, the index finger and middle finger of both hands, and inserted it into Leng Yi's eyes!
Leng Yi couldn't have imagined that Ming Kong would actually use his own method of dislocating his joints to free himself from his grasping, and the counterattack action was so fast! He could only let go of his dislocated arm and dodge his attack.
Although Mingkong used this method to break out of Leng Yi's control, the severe pain of his dislocated arm made him almost faint.
He saw that Leng Yi had blocked his way, he took a few steps back, came to the offering table, grabbed the candlestick on the offering table with his left hand, brushed it, shook off the red candle burning on the pointed end, pointed the pointed head at Leng Yi, took a breath, and laughed miserably: "You drove them all out, it turned out to be to avoid worries and capture me with all your might!" It's that I'm too stupid to see that your martial arts are so good, - the golden bell jar! Iron cloth shirt, hehe, admire! β
Leng Yi naturally wouldn't say that he was actually wearing a special steel bulletproof vest. He sighed and said, "After I guessed that you were the murderer, I knew that you had martial arts, and you were not bad. So I'm on the lookout for you. β
"Liar! How do you know? I've never shown the slightest effort! β
"The dead will tell me."
"The dead? You mean, the dead can speak? Mingkong sneered.
"Of course dead people can talk!" Leng Yi said slowly, "As long as you pay attention and observe, you can know a lot of things that the deceased told you. For example, your martial arts were told to me by the deceased with the wound on his head. -- The injuries to the back of the heads of the two deceased were both dented and shattered, and such a serious injury could not have been formed by the gravity of a person and hitting the bluestone slab ground, because it would take more force to form such an injury! Since it is impossible to form one's own weight, it is only possible to hit hard with external forces. And such a serious injury as a broken fracture is unlikely to be formed by an ordinary adult man, slamming with frozen tofu. What's more, you're only a half-old child, so the only explanation is that you have martial arts! β
Mingkong was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that dead people can really speak." β
"In addition, if it were not for the effort, it would be impossible for a half-grown child like you to dig up a frozen grave, pry open the nails of a coffin a few inches long, carry a corpse to such a far cliff, and then throw it down in this cold winter. It is also impossible to climb up along the curtain, dig out the eyes, ears and mouth of the Buddha with a knife with one hand, and then climb into it in the air. β
"That's right, I didn't expect this flaw to be so deadly! How do you know I'm hiding in the belly of the Buddha? β
"Just now I have been observing the place where the Buddha was dug up, I found the dust on the cheeks under the eye sockets, there is a piece missing, although it is very shallow, but I can still see it, it is rubbed off when the foot is pedaling, I guessed, you stepped on the slightly protruding fat face under the eye socket of the Buddha, and got into the belly of the Buddha. ββWhat better place to hide than in the belly of a Buddha? Keep warm and quietly come out to kill! No one will fix it until the blizzard stops, and you're going to finish your plan before the blizzard! β
