Chapter 278: Death Chain
Zuo Shaoyang also followed to the door, and was also taken aback when he saw this, so he asked Miao Peilan to support herself, went down the steps with a cane, came to the corpse and squatted, and touched the pulse with her hand, which was long gone.
The old man and the big-breasted woman both rushed out of the door, and when they saw this scene, the big-breasted woman screamed, covering her face and not daring to look.
Zuo Shaoyang turned his face to look at the door of the young woman's room that was still closed, his heart sank, and he said hurriedly: "Lan'er, go and see the young woman!" ”
Miao Peilan rushed to the door, pushed it, bolted the door from the inside, flew up, and kicked the door open. He stepped in and stood abruptly again. The big-breasted woman happened to be standing next to her, and when she looked inside, she saw that the young woman had a white silk hanging from her neck, hanging straight on the beam!
Ahh
The big-breasted woman screamed, and her voice tore through the gloomy snowy night.
Miao Peilan was just startled, and immediately rushed up to hug the corpse's feet, shouting, "Quick, put her down." ”
Zuo Shaoyang rushed into the house with a single knife in his hand, waved a knife, and cut off the white silk on the upper part of the corpse's head, and the corpse fell softly into Miao Peilan's arms.
Miao Peilan placed the body horizontally on the ground, Zuo Shaoyang handed her the knife, reached out and touched the carotid artery, looked at the pupils again, and shook his head: "It's dead!" ”
The old man looked at the two corpses in horror and said, "It must be that this young woman was angry with the soldier for ruining her name, shot him with an arrow, and then hanged herself." ”
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Find where the bow and arrow are." ”
Miao Peilan saw at a glance that there was a bow and a pot of arrows thrown in the corner of the meditation room where the young woman lived, which was the white feather armor-piercing arrow they had lost. stepped forward and picked it up and showed it to Zuo Shaoyang.
Zuo Shaoyang asked the old man and Ding Xiaosan: "Isn't this deserter sleeping in your house?" How did you die outside? ”
The old man said: "He was sleeping in the house, and in the middle of the night, he got up and went out, and I was old and sleepy, and I woke up when he got up, and asked him where he was going." He said on the thatched house. I ignored him. But he didn't come back for a long time, I thought it was strange, for fear that something would happen, and it happened that the little brother of the Ding family was also preparing to go to the thatched house, so let him take a look. When Brother Ding came out, he screamed, and when I hurried out, I saw this guy dead in the snow with an arrow stuck in his head. ”
Zuo Shaoyang saw that Ding Xiaosan was so frightened that he shrunk into a ball, squatting under the eaves and crying, so he said, "Don't be afraid, tell me what happened at the time?" ”
"I ......, I came out to go up to the hut to relax, and when I came here, I saw something black in the snow, as if it were a person, and I dared to get closer, and I saw that he had an arrow stuck in his head, and he died there......"
Zuo Shaoyang asked the big-breasted woman: "This young woman is next door to you, do you hear any unusual sounds?" ”
"I didn't hear that. Really," said the big-breasted woman with a pale face and trembling, "I also heard Brother Ding shouting, was awakened, and ran out to check." - Who killed them? Who is the murderer? So cruel! ”
The old man stroked his beard and said, "The matter is already clear, this young woman is the real murderer!" - Her husband usually abused her, robbed her of food, and beat her, and she had long held a grudge, but this time she saw that her husband went to hook up with this big-breasted woman again, and the new hatred was added to the old hatred, and in this snowy night above the top of the world, coupled with the temptation of this deserter, the two of them hooked up and became annihilated, and after tasting the taste of cheating, she wanted to kill her husband so that she could marry someone else, so she stole a bow and arrow, and killed her husband with an arrow. She pretended to cry again, but she didn't expect that Skynet would be restored, and Zuo Gongzi would investigate the murderer and hold on to the deserter, and the deserter confessed to her ugly affair in order to protect himself. She still wanted to be faceless, and she hated the deserter, so she shot the deserter and hanged herself. - Am I right? Zuo Gongzi. ”
Zuo Shaoyang ignored him and said to Miao Peilan: "Go and bring the lanterns in the hall." ”
Miao Peilan ran into the main hall and brought the lantern. Zuo Shaoyang walked to the corpse of the deserter in the courtyard with a lantern and a cane, and carefully inspected the situation on the ground with the lantern. Then he grabbed the corpse's shoulders and carefully tried to lift the corpse and flip it over, and as soon as he lifted the upper body of the corpse, he stopped, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then put the corpse back in place.
Zuo Shaoyang carried the lantern into the meditation room where the young woman lived. first carefully looked at the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck, and then asked Miao Peilan to put a stool on the table, and helped herself to climb up to check the situation on the beam.
After reading it, Zuo Shaoyang went out of the room, he glanced at the Zen master's meditation room a little strangely, and said, "What about the master?" Why didn't the master come out? With such a loud noise, why haven't you woken up yet? Check it out! ”
Miao Peilan saw that things were so secretive, and she didn't dare to leave Zuo Shaoyang half a step away from Zuo Shaoyang with a single knife in her hand.
Ding Xiaosan and the big-breasted woman were both frightened and squatted on the ground screaming, obviously their minds were stimulated.
The old man walked to the window of the meditation room and shouted, "Master! Zen Master! ”
No one answered.
He turned to the side, stood abruptly, and exclaimed, "The window of the master's meditation room is open!" ”
Several people went around to the side to take a look, and sure enough, the two windows were open, like a big mouth with a black hole.
Zuo Shaoyang also shouted twice, but no one answered.
Zuo Shaoyang asked Miao Peilan to go up to the window to take a look. Miao Peilan went up the corridor, came to the windowsill, looked inside, screamed, took a few steps back, and shouted in horror: "The master is dead!" Someone ...... and someone smashed his head! ”
The old man, the big-breasted girl, and Ding Xiaosan were all busy in the corridor and came to the window, leaned forward to take a look, and were also frightened and took a few steps back.
Zuo Shaoyang carried a lantern and stretched into the window to take a look, only to see Master Zen lying on the bed by the window, his head had been sunken and deformed and flattened, and the flesh and blood on it were blurred, and next to it was an incense burner the size of a foot basin, which was also stained with blood.
Zuo Shaoyang asked Miao Peilan to bring a stool, helped himself to stand up, and checked the room with a lantern, and then said to Miao Peilan: "You go in through the window, be careful not to touch anything, first see the state of the latch, and then open the door, I will enter through the door!" ”
Miao Peilan agreed, entered the meditation room through the window, Zuo Shaoyang and the others went around to the door of the main hall, entered the main hall and came to the door of the master's meditation room. Miao Peilan had already opened the door of the meditation room. Zuo Shaoyang observed the situation in the room first. It was found that the incense burner that had been placed on the Buddhist altar was missing. And there was a bloody incense burner next to the bed, and it was obvious that the murderer used this incense burner to smash the sleeping Zen master to death.
Zuo Shaoyang walked to the side of the bed with a lantern and carefully examined the body again.
The eyes of the big-breasted woman and the old man were dripping, looking around, and squatting down to look at the foot of the bed. ”
The old man smiled bitterly: "It must have been taken away by the murderer!" Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Could it be the deserter?" ”
The big-breasted woman said, "Unlikely, right? ”
"How could it be!" The old man walked out, "That's a treasure, it took ten years of gold and silver from the Zen master's fate, and it comes from the Western Regions, it must be a priceless treasure!" As she spoke, she had already left the hall, and the big-breasted woman hurriedly chased her out.
Ding Xiaosan didn't leave, and kept standing at the door wiping his tears.
Zuo Shaoyang said strangely: "If you don't go to find that precious Buddha bead, why are you crying here?" ”
Ding Xiaosan sobbed and said: "The master is so good to us, he led us up the mountain, we have food and shelter, but now we are killed by the murderer, and they are so vicious, woo woo, I must report to the yamen when I go down the mountain, catch the murderer and execute it, and avenge the master!" Woowoo"
Zuo Shaoyang asked: "When the master took you up the mountain, didn't you encounter the enemy army?" ”
Ding Xiaosan cried and said: "No, we were also worried about this at the time, and asked the master, who said that he knew a road, which was the gap of the enemy sentry, and he led us up the mountain through that gap." ”
At this moment, the ecstatic voice of the old man outside the main hall came: "Hahaha! Got it! This precious bead belongs to me! ”
The voice of the big-breasted woman said, "Big brother, can you show me?" ”
"No talk!" The old man's voice was full of excitement, "What Lao Tzu found is Lao Tzu!" Don't even think about moving! ”
"I didn't want it, I'll see what kind of rare treasure it is."
"That's not going to work either!"
"This is the master's, not yours, even if you find it, it can't belong to you, let's find Zuo Gongzi to comment!"
"This ......, okay, listen to what Zuo Gongzi has to say!"
Zuo Shaoyang came out of the door of the meditation room with a lantern and came to the main hall. At this time, the old man entered the main hall with the string of Buddhist beads, and when he saw the cold and shining single knife in Miao Peilan's hand, he smiled reluctantly and said: "Zuo Gongzi, I just ran out to rummage through the clothes of the deserter's corpse, and sure enough, I found this string of Buddhist beads in his arms, which is the master's five-eyed and six-way Buddha beads. Sure enough, this kid did it, he must have sneaked into the master's room for this string of Buddhist beads, smashed the master to death with an incense burner, stole the Buddhist beads, and escaped unexpectedly met the young woman and was killed by the young woman with an arrow. Then the young woman hanged herself. - I found this bead, and now the master is dead, Zuo Gongzi, should this belong to me? ”
Zuo Shaoyang said with a bitter face: "Who should the Buddha beads belong to, I don't count if I say it, because the Buddha beads are not mine." However, this is not the time to discuss who the beads belong to. In this small temple on the top of the mountain, four people died overnight and one was missing. Even the kind Zen master was killed. I didn't have any other interests, so I just waited for the morning to pick up the medicine and go down the mountain. Stay away from the land of right and wrong. I don't care who the beads belong to! ”
The old man nodded frequently: "Yes, I can't imagine that so many people died overnight, the young woman killed her husband, the deserter killed the master, and was killed by the young woman, and the young woman hanged herself, the murderers were all dead, the woman with a collapsed nose stole something and ran outside, and she must have been frozen to death, okay, this is called Skynet Restoration but not leak!" Sin deserves it. -- But it's no surprise that more people are dying in wars and famines these days. Since Zuo Gongzi doesn't care about this Buddha bead, the Buddha bead will belong to me! Hahaha"
