"Little master, but I don't know where the broken railing is now?" Li Canghai thought for a moment and asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The railing is now in the woodhouse." Novice replied.
Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, took out a waist tag from his sleeve, and handed it to Na Shami.
After seeing it, the novice hurriedly saluted Li Canghai: "The little monk doesn't know that the adults are coming, and I hope the adults will forgive me for the offense!" ”
Li Canghai smiled and said, "The little master doesn't have to be polite, I just want to take a look at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and I hope that the little master will be accommodating." ”
"The adults want to go up to the tower, but the little monk doesn't dare to stop him. It's just that...... I'm afraid it's not very safe on this tower! Na Shami folded his hands and said hesitantly.
"It's okay, I'll be fine. The little master put his heart in his stomach. Li Canghai said with a smile.
"This ...... Okay, then the little monk will accompany the adult to the tower. Seeing that Li Canghai was so persistent, it was not easy to refuse, so he took out the key from his waist and opened the tower door.
On the first floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a translation platform, which enshrines the image of Master Xuanzang, Li Canghai with awe, bowed to the statue, and then climbed the steps.
Inside the seven-storey tower, each floor has a different view.
But Li Canghai didn't have the heart to see the scenery of the wild goose pagoda, and went straight up to the six-story tower.
The six-storey tower has cave doors on all sides, and the doors are opened to railings.
Li Canghai looked down at the area around the cave door, due to the cold weather, there was indeed a layer of ice on the floor tiles around the cave door.
Immediately afterward, he came to the east door, and the railing outside the door was indeed half destroyed.
"My lord, this place is dangerous, don't come forward!" Seeing that Li Canghai was about to walk over, Na Shami hurriedly reminded him.
Li Canghai didn't think so, he smiled at the novice, and then walked over, squatted down and examined it carefully.
The broken railing is located on the edge of Tower Rock, and if you accidentally step on it, you will indeed fall straight down.
The six-story tower is about nine zhang high, and the bottom is all paved with bricks and stones, Wang Bao fell from such a high place, and it was lucky to be able to pick up a life.
Li Canghai carefully inspected the broken railing, and gradually understood in his heart.
"Little master, I'm sorry for you to send the broken handrail to Dali Temple, but don't burn it." Li Canghai stood up and said with a smile at the novice.
"Why do you want that railing?" Na Shami asked, confused.
Li Canghai said deeply: "That railing is involved in a murder case, and it is important physical evidence. ”
When Shami heard this, he was taken aback, "What do you mean by saying that the benefactor who fell here a few days ago was actually a deliberate murder?" ”
"The little master is really smart. Let me ask you, are you responsible for this Big Wild Goose Pagoda? Li Canghai approvingly.
"It's the little monk." Shami hurriedly replied.
"Did you see any suspicious people the day before the crime?" Li Canghai then asked.
Shami shook his head: "There are many pilgrims in this temple, and the little monk has not paid attention. But....... ”
"But what? The little master has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Shami recited the Buddha's name and said, "However, the night before, when the gate of the temple was closed, a benefactor was trapped on the tower, and it was not until the monks had fasted that they realized that someone was locked on the tower, and it was the monk who took him out of the temple gate. ”
"Do you remember what that man looked like?" Li Canghai's eyes lit up and asked.
"The benefactor is beardless, about six feet tall, and has a string of money around his waist." Shami thought for a moment and replied.
"If you see him again, will you still recognize him?" Li Canghai touched his chin and asked.
"The little monk recognizes."
"That's very good." The corners of Li Canghai's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said to Shami: "Little master, this official may send you to the court to identify when the time comes, and I hope that the little master will not refuse." ”
The novice hurriedly returned the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare!" The adult had orders, but the little monk did not dare to refuse. ”
"Okay, then the official won't bother the little master." Li Canghai nodded and left the Great Mercy Grace Temple.
Leaving the Daci'en Temple, Li Canghai went around Wang Bao's house again, and did not return to Dali Temple until it was getting dark.
When they returned to Dali Temple, the two brothers had already returned, and when they saw Li Canghai, the two of them hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"My lord, this is the news we have found, please take a look." Ba Boer Ben took out some crumpled paper from his sleeve and handed it to Li Canghai.
Li Canghai glanced at the two of them in surprise, took the paper and looked at it casually.
This supreme records all the past of Ma Rong and Song Zhan, and even how many times Ma Rong has been out recently and how much jewelry he has bought is clear.
Li Canghai nodded approvingly, and praised the two: "I didn't expect the two of you to be able to live in such a short period of time and investigate this matter so clearly." The solution of this case, you two should be the first credit! ”
When the two brothers heard this, they immediately laughed.
"My lord, our brothers are all rough people, how can we have the ability to investigate this? We asked others to find out for help. Ba Boer said with a grin.
"Oh? And someone else to help? Li Canghai was very surprised.
When Li Canghai first arrived in Chang'an, the two brothers had never been to Chang'an before, and he couldn't figure out who would help them investigate.
Ben Bo Erba said hehe: "The lord handed over this matter to us, which is a trust in us. Although our brothers are not bright-minded, we can't mess up what the adults have explained. So, after thinking about it, we went to find some people to help. ”
"Who? Could it be that you still have friends in Chang'an City? Li Canghai asked with a smile.
Ba Boer scratched his head and said, "It's not a friend, it's a little brother!" Our brothers found the ruffians in Chang'an City and beat their boss severely, and we became their bosses, so they naturally listened to us and went to investigate what the adults had explained. ”
Li Canghai nodded approvingly, although the two of them were a little confused, they were thick and fine.
Otherwise, how can such an approach be conceived?
When it comes to investigating someone's deeds, there is no one who can compare to the local ruffians.
"My lord, why do you want us to investigate this?" Ba Boer Ben asked confusedly.
"Tomorrow you will know, what you have found is extremely important to this officer." Li Canghai said.
While he was talking, Zhou Feiyan hurriedly walked in.
"My lord, the lower official is back."
Li Canghai folded the paper, put it in his sleeve, and asked, "Lord Zhou, have you found any clues?" ”
"Back to my lord, the lower officials investigated all the coachmen after Wang Ying's fall from the cliff three years ago, and only one of them matched what the lord said. This person gambled big, and lost three hundred taels of silver overnight three years ago! Zhou Feiyan said.
"What is this man's name?" Li Canghai asked.
"Lord Hui, this person's name is Ma Si, and he is still a coachman." Zhou Feiyan said. (To be continued.) )
