Chapter 97: Reaching the top of Emei
Xiao Jiading said: "Tomorrow, let's go to Meizhou, continue the investigation, and after all five cases are investigated again, we will sort out the clues, how about it?" ”
Mo Feipeng was originally full of hope for the three cases in Shaocheng County, and felt that if he personally investigated again, he should be able to find something. Unfortunately not. So it's a little frustrating. After listening to Xiao Jiading's words, he had been pondering over and over the two cases in Tongyi County, Meizhou for a long time, and he had not found anything, he didn't believe that Xiao Jiading and they would make any new discoveries. From this point of view, there is still no clue about this serial rape and murder case.
Mo Feipeng nodded and said, "Tomorrow we will leave early in the morning." ”
After that, he followed Qiu Zhutou and left.
Xiao Jiading returned to the house of Crazy Mei, they had already come back, they were chattering, seeing Xiao Jiading coming back, they greeted him, and before Xiao Jiading spoke, Crazy Mei complained: "Xiao Lang, what are they, it's by the river, there is no road, walking past, my feet are blistered!" There is nothing but stones on the stones, and so are the barren slopes, and there are not even a few trees! What are you doing with these? ”
Xiao Jiading smiled and said, "Have the drawings been drawn?" ”
"It's drawn. Here! Crazy Mei handed the drawings in her hand to Xiao Jiading.
Xiao Jiading took it and took a look, and it was clearly marked, and sure enough, it was on both sides of the Jinjiang River. Then he said, "Okay! This thing is kept. It will be useful later. ”
"What's the use?" Crazy Mei puffed up and said, "Barren mountains and mountains, is it possible to catch hares?" ”
"Yes, catch the hare. Catch you vixen! ”
Crazy Mei blushed suddenly, glanced at Su Yunxia next to her, gave Xiao Jiading a big look, and said angrily: "What crazy words!" ”
Xiao Jiading was also a little embarrassed, and said, "Hurry up and eat, I'm hungry!" ”
The young bamboo who stayed at home had already prepared all the meals. During the meal, Xiao Jiading asked, "Is mahjong done?" ”
"Nope! That's so fast! "But it's already booked, and it will be done in about three days." ”
"Then tonight is the only way to go?"
As soon as the four girls heard this, they knew that they could play cards again tonight. Immediately they were all happy.
Finished eating in a hurry. The mahjong table was set up. It was still the four girls on the table, and Xiao Jiading was on the side to guide and watch the game.
It was not until the third watch that it was dispersed.
Xiao Jiading said to Miaomei and Su Yunxia: "Tomorrow I will go to Meizhou to investigate the case, and it may take a few days to come back." ”
Crazy Mei hurriedly asked the maid Xiaomei and Xiao Jiading to prepare their bags and packages. He also asked, "Do you want to take Yunyan to take care of you?" ”
"No, you don't! I'm going to solve the case. It's not about going on a tour. How can anyone handle a case with a maid. ”
——————————
The next day it was dark. Xiao Jiading and Dai Zhutou, as well as Mo Feipeng and Qiu Zhutou, rode to Meizhou. They continued to move forward by changing horses at the post station. In this way, at night, it will also arrive at Meizhou City.
The next day, the four began to investigate the case that occurred in Meizhou City.
This case is very similar to the case that happened in Shaocheng County, where a pair of sisters were raped and killed. The difference is that the case that happened in Shaocheng was from a poor family, while this pair of sisters was a big family in Meizhou City. And it was the first month of the New Year, and the family was having a meal and drink. The two sisters were a little overwhelmed by the wine, and were afraid not to persuade them to drink, so they went back to their rooms together to hide for a while. After a while, he found that they were not there, and knew that they must have been hiding from drinking, so he went to look for them in the house, but he did not expect that the doors and windows of the house were closed. pierced the window paper and saw the two sisters dead in the house, also naked, with traces of rape on their lower bodies, and the gold earrings, necklaces, and rings they were wearing were robbed. There was a hole left in the roof of the site that could be drilled through a person.
What made Xiao Jiading feel strange about this case was that there were many guests in the house at that time, how did the murderer get in? And the house where the deceased hid was next door to the room where the banquet was held! But no one heard the sound! Moreover, according to the family, the two sisters didn't actually drink much that day, but they drank alcohol throughout the New Year, so they didn't want to drink anymore, so they hid in the house. That is to say, the two sisters should not have been drunk in the house at that time, nor had they gone to sleep, so they should have been awake. How did she do it if she wanted to rape and kill two sober women, and it was when someone was eating and drinking next door? The most important thing is that the murderer broke through the roof of the house, didn't the two sisters in the house realize it at all?
After understanding, Mo Feipeng and the others initially suspected that the guests who participated in the crime had committed the crime, so they investigated all the people who participated at that time, but found nothing. Then I checked my family again, but I still didn't find it. Only then did it expand to the investigation of the flower thieves in the rivers and lakes, but it was still not found. It has become a headless unsolved case.
Early the next morning, Xiao Jiading and the four of them went up to Emei Mountain.
When I arrived at the temple of the Emei faction on the top of the mountain, I reported that the temporary host of the temple, that is, Huiyi's master, Zhixiu Shitai, took two uncles and a few junior sisters to greet him in person. Xiao Jiading took a look at it and was surprised to find that this Zhixiu Shitai turned out to be a half-old with a lot of charm. The figure is well maintained, and wrinkles are barely visible on the face. He is also polite when he speaks, but his face is cold, and there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.
Huiyi stood in the back row and saw Xiao Jiading, smiling with a little shyness.
Mrs. Xiu first introduced the two uncles, that is, the senior sister and the junior sister of the late former head of the family. The master uncle is called Wukong Zen Master, and the third uncle is called Wuliang Zen Master. The two old nuns had wrinkled faces, and their eyes were indeed like electricity, and they were obviously quite profound.
Then Mrs. Jisoo introduced the other three junior sisters behind her. They are the second junior sister Zhijue Shitai, the third junior sister Zhishui Shitai and the fourth senior sister Zhixu Shitai.
The wise master looked indifferent, but after closing his palms and saluting, he didn't say much. Zhixu Shitai's attitude is very humble, and even some habitual flattering smiles, after seeing the ceremony, he just laughs dryly, and he doesn't dare to say anything if he wants to speak.
But the wise water master was more talkative, and after greeting Xiao Jiading and the others for their hard work, he said a little ostentatiously: "The poor nuns in Yizhou City often go there, and they once went to the Assassin's Mansion to interpret the dreams of Princess Lu of the Assassin's History." Princess Lu was very good to the poor nuns, and she also came to the Qingfeng Nunnery in Yizhou, where the poor nuns received the princess. Hehehe"
Listening to her words with a smug look that could not be concealed, Xiao Jiading smiled, he didn't expect that there were also such people in the Buddhism sect, and they were also the senior sister and sister of the former head of the sect. Xiao Jiading learned from Huiyi that the former head of the deceased family had a total of five disciples, and the youngest one was the victim named Zhixiang, and now, there are only four.
Mrs. Zhixiu welcomed Xiao Jiading and them in, and when they arrived at the temple, they saw the lanterns and the people coming and going, which was very lively, so he asked knowingly: "Host, is there any happy event in your temple?" ”
Zhixiu said: "Yes, five days later, the temple will hold a general election, if a few VIPs have leisure, please stay and watch the ceremony!" ”
Xiao Jiading immediately hit the snake and agreed: "Okay! I've never seen the head election, but this is a rare opportunity, and since we're presiding over the stay, we'll bother. ”
Mo Feipeng saw that he agreed, and he didn't discuss it with them at all, and he was a little unhappy, but there was a case to be investigated in Emei Mountain, and he didn't know how long the road would be delayed, this was the last of the five cases, and the first four had no clues, only pinning his hopes on the last one, if there was no hope for this, then the whole serial case would become a headless case again. Therefore, he did not speak out against it.
Master Zhixiu led them to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to worship the Buddha, and then went to the meditation room to sit down. Accompanying her were her three younger sisters.
Xiao Jiading said: "We went up the mountain this time, mainly to investigate the murder of Master Zhixiang of your temple, can the host give us an introduction to what happened?" ”
Zhixiu sighed too much: "Your yamen has already investigated this matter and said it, that is, those, there is nothing more, since you still have to talk about it, let's talk about it." That afternoon, Zhixiang did not come to chant the scriptures, so the poor nun sent someone to look for it, but she did not find it in her meditation room, and after the last day, she accidentally found her body in the grass behind her meditation room, naked, with traces of rape, and we could not find the murderer, so we reported to the police. I didn't expect that your yamen still failed to catch the murderer, alas! Seeing that he couldn't avenge his junior sister, the poor nun felt very uncomfortable ......! ”
Speaking of the last word, the words were a little choked. Several other teachers also bowed their heads and sighed, their faces sad.
What he said, Xiao Jiading has not only read it in the file, but also heard Huiyi say that there is nothing new, after thinking about it, he said: "Can I go to the place where Zhixiang Shitai was killed?" ”
"Okay."
Jisoo led them to the meditation room where Jika was killed. The five of them lived in a separate backyard, with the three main rooms in the middle where the former head of the house, that is, their master, lived, and the two rows of side rooms on both sides were where several of their in-house disciples lived. Jika lives at the bottom, and next door to her lives Jiso-shita.
After all, they are disciples who have entered the room, so the meditation rooms of several of them are relatively spacious and bright, and they are suites.
They went to the back of the meditation room first, and there were some flowers and plants planted behind it, and the corpse was in the grass behind Zhixiang's own meditation room.
Xiao Jiading stood behind the window, looked at the knee-high weeds, and asked, "Zhixiang is one of your five disciples, her martial arts must be good, right?" ”
Zhixiu Shitai said: "Yes! Her martial arts are no less than a few of us. ”
"When was the last time you saw her?"
Mo Feipeng on the side interjected: "We have already asked about this, it is after lunch at noon, and then we will go back to our respective rooms for a lunch break." - Right? Preside. ”
Jisoo Shitai said: "That's right. We were taking a lunch break in our respective meditation rooms. ”
"Didn't you hear any noise, then?"
Mo Feipeng helped to answer: "No! No one heard any noise. ”
Xiao Jiading finally turned his head to look at him, and said lightly: "Mo Zhiyi, I will re-investigate this case, I need their own answers, thank you!" ”
Mo Feipeng snorted and twisted his head. (To be continued......)
