Chapter 224: The Strange Shroud

Song Ruilong pulled a silk thread and looked at it in his hand, and said, "These silk threads are made of silk, which is a high-quality fabric, and it is certain that the monk changed his clothes here." He changed his clothes and threw the woman's garment over the thorns. And then..."

Song Ruilong looked ahead, but the road ahead was very hard, and there were no footprints at all.

Su Xianrong said: "If the monk was found by the hostess of this house when he was changing clothes in this place, this monk had a lustful heart, and he wanted to give the hostess of this house... But unfortunately, the mistress of the house had a very domineering husband, so the monk was killed, which seemed reasonable. ”

Song Ruilong shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. This case, assuming that it was solved by the two of us so quickly, then how efficient do you say the two of us are? ”

Song Ruilong walked to the door of the house with those silk threads, and after Su Xianrong knocked on the door for a while, a woman opened the door, looked at Song Ruilong, and asked with some fear, "Who are you looking for?" ”

After Su Xianrong showed the woman the sign on her waist to handle the case, she said, "We are the tolerance in the yamen, we want to ask you, where are those red satin clothes on your vegetable garden?" ”

The woman was chubby, with a big face, a big mouth, and her hair seemed to have not been washed for some days, and there was a terrible smell in her mouth, and she said, "Just kidding, there are silk clothes in the vegetable garden in front of our house, why don't I know?" ”

Su Xianrong said: "You really don't know? ”

The woman's face changed dramatically. There was even a little distortion, and that distortion was the result of extreme fear.

Song Ruilong glared and showed the woman a few red silk threads in his hand, and said, "You can see clearly, these red silk threads were torn from your family's vegetable garden." These threads are made of fine silk. Your clothes are made of hearse linen, so that dress is definitely not owned by you. Also, next to your vegetable garden, on a pile of soft soil, there are scattered footprints, which are the footprints left by a man, and the footprints are flat, indicating that the man was not wearing shoes at that time. You say, what the hell is going on? Could it be that you had an affair with that man? ”

The woman turned pale with fright and said, "Male... What do you say? The folk woman was greedy and picked up a red satin dress. The women really don't know any men who have changed their clothes here, and they haven't had any affairs with other men. ”

Song Ruilong said: "Where is that dress now?"

The woman bowed her head and said, "Your Excellency, when the woman got up in the morning, she found a red shroud on top of the thorns in the vegetable garden of the woman's house. Although the shroud was unlucky, the woman felt that the material of the dress was good, and if it was destroyed, it would be good to make a few pairs of shoes. Thinking of this, he took the shroud off the thorn. ”

When Su Xianrong heard the three words of shroud, he was a little surprised, and thought, how could a monk wear a shroud to steal?

Su Xianrong stared at the woman and said, "Where did you put that shroud?"

The fat woman said, "It's in the woman's house, and I was going to start dismantling it after lunch, but the two of them are here now."

Su Xianrong was overjoyed in her heart, but fortunately she hadn't dismantled it yet.

After Song Ruilong followed the woman into the upper room, he saw the red shroud behind a curtain.

The shroud is very gorgeous, and the embroidered pattern on it is also eye-catching, it is a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and there is a pair of butterflies flying high above the mandarin ducks.

The woman said, "This shroud is very big, even the figure of the folk woman is also big when she wears it." But the women didn't understand, this shroud was for the dead, how could it run to the thorns in the vegetable garden of the women's house? ”

Su Xianrong put the red shroud into a black burlap bag and said, "It's not a matter for you to worry about."

After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong walked out of the woman's house, they looked at the sun, and Su Xianrong said, "Brother Song, it's almost noon, do we still want to continue to investigate?"

Song Ruilong said: "Let's go back to the yamen first, maybe they will have the answer we want."

After Song Ruilong returned to the yamen, after having lunch with Su Xianrong in his room, Zhang Meixian walked into Song Ruilong's room and asked, "Long'er, is there any result?" ”

Song Ruilong sighed: "We still don't know what the name of the deceased is, which temple monk it is, how can we find out the results so quickly?" ”

Zhang Meixian enlightened Song Ruilong and said: "This investigation is no better than eating and sleeping, it is a very tiring job, and you can't be sloppy, so you can't be in a hurry, you have to investigate slowly." ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "The child understands." The child will carefully review every case, never let go of any doubt, and strive not to wronged any good person. ”

After Song Ruilong said those words, a servant walked up to Song Ruilong's door and said, "My lord, master, they have already returned, and they are waiting in the county office to report the case to your lordship." ”

Song Ruilong got up and said, "Mother, the child go and listen to Master Liu's new clues, and strive to solve the case as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Meixian said: "Hurry up, don't let the master wait too long." ”

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong arrived at the county office, and after they sat down, Song Ruilong looked at Liu Tianxiong and said, "Master, tell me about the situation over there." ”

Liu Tianxiong took out a piece of rice paper, spread it on the table, and read: "When we visited Mengzhen Temple, the presiding officer of Mengzhen Temple, Master Mengyuan, said that there was a monk who did not return to the temple at night last night. According to Master Mengyuan's description, the monk was very similar to the deceased. We asked Monk Shimizu again, who was working with Qing Xiu. According to the Qingshui monk, the Qingxiu monk and he are both in the Mengzhen Temple to purchase vegetables and grain, yesterday morning, he and Qingxiu two in the Ping'an County Fengyun Department Store after purchasing the required vegetables and food, Qingxiu monk said that he still has something to do in the county, so let Qingshui pull the car back to the Mengzhen Temple alone. The Qingxiu monk has not returned yet, so he suspects that the deceased is the Qingxiu monk. In order to be able to determine the identity of the deceased, I have brought Monk Shimizu over so that he can go to the morgue to identify him. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "Yes, you can." Then after we have analyzed this case, let the Shimizu Monk Dao morgue identify the body. ”
