The same case, the same modus operandi, the same alibi. Will you be confused in the same way?

Leng Yi began to wander around the kitchen, looking for possible clues. He didn't believe in the possibility of the mountain god committing the crime, if it was a human committing the crime, it would definitely leave clues.

When he reached the door of the firewood room, he stopped and looked at a wooden ladder that was erected on the temple wall. The abbot followed and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”

Turning his head to look at him, he said lightly: "The suspicion of the master's own murder has not been cleared yet, don't you feel abrupt when you inquire about the case?" ”

Abbot Juehui smiled awkwardly, folded one hand, and stepped away.

Leng Yi walked under the wall, and he suddenly stopped. Because, he felt something [***] under his feet. Squatting down, he pushed away the thick snow on the ground, revealing what was buried underneath, and couldn't help but sigh.

The abbot stood in the distance, and he didn't know what Leng Yi was looking at, so he stood on tiptoe and looked forward. But Leng Yi immediately buried the thing with snow again.

Leng Yi stood up, sent the snowflakes in his hand, and looked at his wall and ladder for a while. Only then did he slowly walk back. The abbot said, "You can carry the body to the Daxiong Treasure Hall." Alas! Killed two people in two days! What kind of deep hatred can make a murderer so cruel? ”

Hanging eyebrows Mingjing and horse-faced Mingzong found a door panel, put the body on it, and carried it to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in front of the temple.

Entering the main hall, Leng Yi subconsciously looked up at the Big Buddha and was stunned. The abbot followed him, saw him suddenly stop, looked up at the Buddha, and sighed in his heart, could it be that something happened to the Buddha?

Abbot Juehui hurriedly raised his head, squinted at a pair of presbyopia, looked at the face of the Buddha, and suddenly trembled, and exclaimed: "The Buddha ......!" The Buddha's ears ......, but what about the ears? Why is it gone? Who......? Who dug it up?! ”

The horse-faced Mingzong and the hanging eyebrows Mingjing also hurriedly looked up, so frightened that the two of them trembled, and almost flipped the corpse to the ground.

It turned out that the two fat ears of the Big Buddha had been gouged out and turned into a terrifying black hole!

The abbot and the others stared blankly at the unrecognizable Buddha, not knowing what was going on.

Leng Yi carefully inspected the surroundings of the Big Buddha again. There were no other suspicious traces other than a few pieces of dirt that had fallen.

Both cooks died, and there was no one to cook. The few remaining monks in the temple were as frightened as sifting chaff. No one dares to go to the kitchen to cook anymore.

Leng Yi said: "No matter what, you have to fill your stomach first." Since you're all scared, it's better for you all to go. If there are more people, there will be no fear! You can't let the county cook for you, right? ”

Several people waved their hands in panic, huddled into a heap, and went to the kitchen.

Leng Yi glanced at the two corpses in the main hall, and pondered for a moment, as if he had seen something, but he couldn't grasp it. I had to shake my head and take Zhuo Qiaoniang back to the room.

Zhuo Qiaoniang first glanced at the pile of snow in the corner next to the steps, but it still didn't move, so she was at ease, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and when Leng Yi entered, she closed the door and added a few pieces of charcoal to the fire to make the fire more prosperous.

Zhuo Qiaoniang asked in a low voice: "Official, this case is getting more and more complicated, what should I do?" ”

Leng Yi said: "Yes, the murderer is very cunning and has not left any clues, so until now, although I have a little clue, I still can't confirm the real murderer." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang looked worried, and said in a low voice: "The last time the Yamen thatched house murder case was just solved, and now there are two murders in a row, if it can't be solved, will it affect the career of the official?" ”

Leng Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the range of suspects in this case is very small, I am confident, with a little more time, I will definitely be able to find the clues of the criminal and solve the case." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang nodded happily.

After breakfast, a few monks went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to recite scriptures.

The sky began to overcast again. Zhuo Qiaoniang's heart was heavy, she was very worried, her husband had been blocked here, what should she do with the official affairs of the yamen. The small box of gold beside her weighed down on her heart.

Abbot Juehui and the monks were chanting scriptures in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and he looked up at the eyes and ears of the Buddha that had been gouged out, and he felt uneasy. Nothing will happen again, will it? He muttered to himself.

At this time, I heard the footsteps of the temple door hurrying, and then, with a bang, the door was knocked open. The thin man Ming Shou rushed in, his head was sweaty, his face was pale, and he panted: "Oh no......!" Abbot......! Oh no......! ”

Juehui's face suddenly paled, she stood up from the futon, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" What about the clear sky? ”

The thin man Ming Shou was so tired that he couldn't speak. With his hands on his knees, his mouth was wide open, and he was panting for air.

A few of them also followed, and when they saw this scene, they stomped their feet anxiously and said, "Hurry up!" ”

The thin man Ming Shou finally spit out a few words with difficulty: "Mingkong he ......, he ......, he fell under the cliff ...... and died!" ”

"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned and asked what was going on. But the thin man Mingshou was so tired that he couldn't speak.

It was still the abbot who was calm, let him breathe first, and at the same time asked the horse-faced Mingzong to hurry up and report to the county master.

When Leng Yi heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly took Zhuo Qiaoniang to the Daxiong Treasure Hall. The thin man Ming Shou had already gasped for breath. said: "Before dawn in the morning, Mingkong and I went to chop wood, just walked to the col, Mingkong suddenly said that he had a stomachache, I said do you want to be lazy!" He said that it was a real stomach ache, so he squatted on the ground and couldn't get up, I scolded him, but he still refused to leave. I said you can squat here by yourself, I'll go first. ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang exclaimed: "Where did you leave him alone?" ”

"No, madam, how can I be so ruthless, I walked a few steps, and went back, saying that you have a stomachache, do you want to, if so, go and pull, I'm waiting for you here." But stay away, lest it stink. And he went to pull it. I just waited there, and he crouched behind a rock not far away. After a while, he suddenly screamed in horror, and ran to the other side of the cliff as he screamed. I was startled and asked him what was wrong, and he had run to the edge of the cliff, and then let out a scream and fell off the cliff! ”

"What's that called?" Leng Yi asked in a deep voice.

"That's a man's name."

"Who's?"

"Wise!" The thin man Mingshou wanted to laugh but couldn't, "He called the name of the fat man's wise brother, and then he fell off the cliff." - By the way, what about Brother Wise? The thin man Mingshou suddenly found that the fat man was not here, and asked. Then I found that everyone was stunned, and I couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The horse-faced Mingzong turned pale and pointed to the corner of the parked corpse in the Daxiong Treasure Hall: "You go and see for yourself!" ”

Only then did the thin man Mingshou realize that there was an extra door panel there, and there was a humanoid thing lying there, covered with a white cloth. He couldn't help but shudder, walked over cautiously, gently lifted the white cloth, and saw the fat man's miserable white face!

The thin man screamed strangely, fell straight up, and passed out.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward and pinched and slapped again. The thin man Ming Shou woke up at this time, pushed everyone away, and screamed: "Wise is dead?!" That clear sky has seen a ghost, and he has seen the ghost of the fat man's wisdom! Oh my god! ”

Leng Yi groaned: "Mingkong saw the fat man wise, he was very scared, and he fell off the cliff and died. Why was he so scared? So much so that you can't choose the way to fall off the cliff? Could it be that he killed the fat man wisely? Impossible! They went out before dawn, and the fat man was killed after dawn. He didn't have time to commit the crime at all."

"It must have been the fat man's bloody face that scared him. By the way, at that time, I heard Mingkong exclaiming, 'Senior Brother Wise, what's wrong with you?' Why is there blood on the face? Then he screamed, and scrambled into the air, and ran to the other side of the cliff. It must be a wise ghost pinching him! - Wise and plain like to bully Mingkong, and if he dies, he will bully him! ”
