Chapter 71: The Murder of the Flower Thief 8

Dashan looked at him indifferently, don't look too much, don't want to say more.

Yan Mo approached and asked, "Do you still have an accomplice?" ”

He still didn't answer.

Xiao Liao saw that Dashan did not repent, and said sharply, "Until now, you still haven't explained it truthfully?!! Will you be willing to speak if you are punished?!! ”

Dashan was shaken a little when he heard the torture

Xiao Liao continued, "Okay, I've seen a lot of hard tempers! After you've tasted those torture instruments, you'll see if you're still honest?!! Unwilling to confess to accomplices, come on! Escort him back to the county government and put him on punishment!! ”

When Dashan saw that the officials were about to take him away, he hurriedly said, "Don't, don't! I say I say! He swallowed a few times and said, "That day I entered the Xichun Silk Village, after killing the shopkeeper, I lost the woman's coat, and when I was about to go out, I saw a figure holding a few women's clothes in his hand and looked like a thief, I don't know when he appeared, maybe he was there at the beginning, everything I did, he saw it!" I quickly wiped the blood on my face and hands, the man took advantage of this to throw away his clothes, ran out of the store and blended into the crowd, I chased out, but there were too many people, I didn't catch up a few steps and he disappeared, I think the market has two exits, everyone along the street to the exit, I came to the entrance and waited, I didn't expect to be really waited by me"

When Qi Yun heard this, he asked Dashan, "Is that man wearing a black coarse cloth coat and a pair of black boots on his feet?" Not tall, slightly chubby? ”

Oyama thought for a moment, "He is indeed wearing black clothes, he is not tall, what is he wearing on his feet, I didn't pay attention"

"That man is the flower thief! Big boss! Finally there is a clue to the thief!! Qi Yun shouted at Yan Mo!

Yan Mo blocked his ears because of Qi Yun's loud shouting, "I know, don't shout, he hasn't finished talking yet" She said to Da Shan, "You continue." ”

Dashan continued to recall, "I followed him all the way, there were many people in the town, I could only follow quietly, after coming to this mountain forest, I saw him running along the stream, I wanted to speed up my pace to keep up, I didn't want to slip on a low hillside, and when I got up, the man was gone, I looked around, I saw the broken temple, went in to search, there was no one out of the broken temple, I went up along the stream, and found this nunnery"

At this time, Shi Tai, who had been hiding in the hall and watching, shrank and did not dare to step forward

Yan Mo walked over and invited Shitai over with Buddhist rites to confront the case together. Shi Tai stared at the mountains and did not dare to move forward, so he lowered his head and tugged at his clothes.

Yan Mo said, "The master is too relieved, there are us here, he doesn't dare to make a mistake, please move." ”

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, Shi Tai followed him to the mountain and hid behind Yan Mo.

Yan Mo continued to ask Dashan, "You didn't find that man in the nunnery?" ”

Dashan "No, I jumped on the wall at that time, and when I saw this nun and a few pilgrims, I didn't want to alarm more people, so I came to the creek and washed my face, and then went home, thinking that if he reported the case, he would definitely go to the county office, and I would go to the county government to guard it, but I didn't expect it" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, "I didn't expect Pan Liang to cheat the corpse!" At that time, I was so frightened that I hurried home to hide from the slut who found out about the corpse and secretly went to see him! ”

Hearing his son's evil words, Zhang's face was full of pain, and he lowered his head in shame

"I thought no one would know about it, as long as she didn't say it, she wouldn't show up!" But she still went, I sneaked close to the fence and listened carefully, knowing that it was not a ghost, and I was relieved that since she was willing to take the blame for me, I just had to find the man! Kill him! No one will know the truth!! I'll be able to get away with it!! He suddenly looked up at Mrs. Shi and shouted, "Women are not good things!" I think about it, that man must be her concubine!! ”

Yan Mo grabbed Qi Ming's hand that wanted to attack, but he didn't let go, and still said to Dashan, "So you came to the nunnery just to find that man and kill him?" ”

"That's right!" Dashan shouted with a hideous face, "When she tells her the whereabouts of that man, I will kill him together!" ”

Shitai hid behind Yan Mo, and couldn't help but shiver, she firmly grasped the hem of Yan Mo's clothes and didn't dare to let go!

At this time, several bees surrounded and flew around Yan Mo and Shi Tai

Yan Mo looked at Mrs. Shi and asked, "Mrs. Shi raised bees?" ”

"Yes, there are a few in the backyard, and the right is the livelihood," the division replied weakly.

Yan Mo "Is what this person said true?" ”

"Nope! Poor Ni has no concubine!! It's true!! The poor nuns are innocent from beginning to end!! Why, why do you all slander me?!!! Shi Tai said excitedly!

"You guys?" Yan Mo obviously heard this, and you seem to mean something.

The teacher knew that he had lost his words, so he pretended to be calm and said, "No, no, no, no, it is not that the poor nun has been keeping to himself since he became a monk, and the poor nun really doesn't know who the man this person is talking about!" ”

Yan Mo let go of Qi Ming's hand, held Shitai with both hands and asked, "Shitai, how is the incense in the nunnery?" ”

Mrs. Shi said with a bitter face, "There are no pilgrims in the nunnery, only a few people come occasionally, and this is just a foothold for poor nuns."

Yan Mo: "What does Mrs. Shi usually rely on to make a living?" ”

Mrs. Shi pointed to the backyard and said, "The poor nun raised a few bees, planted some vegetables, and relied on these to exchange for some rice grain."

Yan Mo glanced at Mrs. Shi up and down a few times, did not speak, just took the torch in Xiao Liao's hand, let Mrs. Shi lead it, and came to the backyard to check, Qi Ming and Qi Yun followed.

The backyard is not big, a vegetable field is planted with a few vegetables, a wooden box for breeding bees stands in a corner, a few bees fly around, Yan Mo seems to smell some faint fragrance, and Qi Yun said, "Let Zhang come over." ”

Qi Yun got the order and called Zhang's.

Yan Mo "Zhang, what kind of fragrance is in the air?" ”

Zhang smelled it and said, "It's Jiulixiang, although it's very light, it's Jiulixiang, yes, it's planted outside the hospital."

Yan Mo "What does Jiuli Xiang look like?" ”

Zhang's "grows short, with small white flowers and yellow stamens"

Yan Mo flew up to the wall, held a torch and looked, there were indeed a few dwarf shrubs covered with small white flowers, suddenly she thought of something, flew down again, returned to the mountain and asked, "You said that you chased the man to the nunnery, and when you saw a few pilgrims, you gave up and went home, why didn't you suspect that the man was hiding among the pilgrims?" ”

"Because the pilgrims were women, I saw them kneeling in the hall"

Yan Mo "It's all women? How many people do you see? ”

Big mountain "three or four people"

Yan Mo said to Shi Tai who came from the backyard, "Two days ago, did a few female pilgrims come?" ”

"Yes," Shitai replied.

Yan Mo turned around and entered the Buddha statue hall to check, the hall is not big, the Buddha statue is in disrepair, the surface is badly worn, and there are two old futons under his feet. She turned around, looked around, and saw several bamboo poles standing next to the wall, which seemed to be used to dry clothes.

Qi Yun said to Yan Mo outside the hall door, "Big boss, have you found anything?" ”

Yan Mo took a deep breath, turned around and said, "Hmm! Actually, it's quite simple. As she spoke, she came to the crowd and first asked Dashan, "Do you see those female pilgrims kneeling in the hall, and they are kneeling in groups of twos?" ”

Dashan "No, it's a few people kneeling together"

Yan Mo nodded, and asked Mrs. Shi, "Mrs. Shi, how do you exchange rice with people?" ”

Hearing this question, Mrs. Shi was a little nervous, clasped her hands and said, "The poor nuns are all rice grains exchanged with farmers."

"Master Liao." Yan Mo called Xiao Liao and continued to say to Shi Tai, "Tell the official master the rice and grain exchanged with which farmers, and let him verify it." ”

"This," Shi Tai said vaguely, "they are all nearby farmers and there are not a fixed few."

Yan Mo said, "You live here alone, and you are a monk, I am afraid that it will be a lot of inconvenience, and the farmers may not be willing to exchange grain with you, right?" ”

Qi Yun looked at the embarrassed master and wondered, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Yan Mo "Actually, we were wrong from the beginning, the flower thieves will appear in the market not to find the next target, but to sell honey and vegetables. ”

"Do flower thieves not only steal people, but also vegetables?!" Qi Yun exclaimed!

"You're stupid!" Yan Mo gave Qi Yun a disgusted look, "The flower thief is selling for Shitai, do you think, if a nun is selling vegetables in the bazaar, what will others think?" I'm afraid that gossip can turn white into black! How else does Mrs. Shi be? ”

"Yes, it's really easy to attract gossip when the monks show up," Qi Yun said, holding his chin, "So, Mrs. Shi does have dealings with men?" ”

When Mrs. Shi heard this, she began to panic, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Yan Mo and Qi Yun, not denying that she had a concubine like she did at the beginning.

Yan Mo looked at the bees, they always circled around Shi Tai, and said in unison, "There are no men here!" Mrs. Shi didn't have any dealings with men! ”

"Huh?" Lu Jiu was also puzzled, and said indifferently, "The big boss just said that there is a man who sells vegetables for the teacher!" Why do you say that there are no men? ”

"Didn't you both see it?" Yan Mo pointed to Shitai's figure and continued, "Her figure doesn't look like a flower thief? ”

Qi Yun listened to it and looked at it carefully, "I look at Mrs. Shi is fatter than a flower thief."

Yan Mo "That's because Shitai's clothes are wide robes, which cover the waist, and if you wear well-fitting men's clothes, you will become thinner." ”

Lu Jiu: "Wait, the big boss means that Shitai is a flower thief?!! She is also a woman, why do you want to take those women captive?! ”

At this moment, Mrs. Shi's face became more and more ugly, she kept avoiding the gaze that looked at her, hanging her head and not daring to say more

"I'm going to ask her," Yan Mo said, pointing to the bees flying around, "The fragrance that people can't smell can be smelled by animals, these bees are wandering around Shitai, and there are also bees in the store wandering around the fallen satin clothes and pastries, indicating that there must be the fragrance of flowers." Just now, Dashan also said that the man ran out after throwing away the clothes in his hand, and the person who touched those clothes was a flower thief, and if the flower thief had a residual fragrance of flowers on his body, and left a smell after touching those clothes, it is not difficult to explain why the bees would circle around those clothes

Dashan said that he saw three or four female pilgrims that day, but I only saw two old futons in the hall, in this case, it should be two kneels and bows, but they knelt together, this nunnery is not prosperous, how can the master let the pilgrims kneel directly on the ground? The flower thief seems to be very attached to the woman's coat, whether it is the number of people who have been taken captive, or the coat that has fallen from the silk village. I saw a bamboo pole standing in the hall, and I thought that this should be the case that day.

Mrs. Shi changed into men's clothes and went to the market to sell vegetables and honey, after selling it, she came to Xichun Silk Village, Xu wanted to steal a few clothes, she sneaked into the store while the shopkeeper was not paying attention, and after taking the clothes, she saw Dashan kill the shopkeeper Pan Liang, she took advantage of Dashan to wipe the bloodstains, threw away her clothes, ran out of the store, and blended into the crowd. She was afraid that the mountain would follow her, so she wanted to go against the crowd and go out from the entrance of the market, and in the process, she happened to bump into Qi Yun. And what she didn't expect was that Dashan would wait for her at the entrance, and Dashan followed her in men's clothing to the vicinity of the broken temple, and wanted to do it, but she escaped. When she escaped back to the nunnery, she quickly changed her clothes, and used a bamboo pole to cool down four pieces of clothing, and folded them to look like someone was kneeling down, so as to deceive the mountain. ”

Qi Yun pondered, "If Dashan didn't care about it at that time, and insisted on breaking in and committing murder, wouldn't it be dangerous for Shitai?" ”

"Have you forgotten how flower thieves kidnap people?" Yan Mo pointed to Shi Tai's water-stained cuffs and said, "The flower thief has drugs, if the four coats can't deceive the mountain, she can also use the drugs to save herself." ”

"Ahh It turns out that the flower thief is really a nun?!! Qi Yun stared at Shi Tai up and down, "I thought it must be a man!" ”

Xiao Liao stepped forward, approached Shitai's cuffs and sniffed them quickly, and immediately stood up straight and said, "It is indeed the smell of drugs!" Come! Grab her and bring her back to the Yamen! ”

"Nope! Don't scratch me!! Mrs. Shi suddenly cried!

Yan Mo blocked the official with one hand, approached Shitai and asked, "Why did you kidnap those women?" ”

"Poor Ni was originally the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zhu family in Anyan Town, and she was kidnapped by gangsters three years ago" Shitai couldn't hide her grief and indignation, crying, "I don't want to, who knows that the gangsters are brutal, and after kidnapping me, they tore my clothes, I struggled desperately, and ran headlong into him!" He fell! I got dizzy when I hit it, and I took the opportunity to escape! But when I returned home, my husband's house not only did not help me report to the official to catch the bad guys, but directly forced me to leave home!! said that I had lost the face of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family could no longer allow me to be abandoned by my husband's family, so I could only shave my ordination, this nunnery had been abandoned for a long time, and my husband's family left me here and didn't care about it! Relying on the wild fruits in the forest, I finally survived the first few days, and then I stole the vegetable seedlings of the nearby farmers, planted vegetables, and slowly finally survived, but the days were still tormented, one day, a male pilgrim came here, said to pray, I politely refused a few times, then he took out the drug to stun me, fortunately I was alert that day, I resisted and stunned him, I took off his clothes, took his money, hung him upside down on the tree, starved him and froze him, and finally he begged me for mercy, I saw that he didn't have much strength and let him go, Threaten that if he dares to do it again, I will peel him and pull his tendons!

Since then, I have always prepared drugs to protect myself, and used that men's clothes to act, relying on those few taels of silver, the days are a little human, and then the men's clothes have been worn for a long time, and I see the women's silk and satin on the street, I yearn for it, I am also a woman, and women should be dressed like that! Why can I only live here, why should a woman become a monk if she loses her temperament!! But thieves can get away with it!! I'm unwilling! I'm not reconciled!!! ”
