Chapter 11 Wu Ma
[The book continues from the above, the last book said that after Mu Qingming came back from Zhu San, he felt that the case was even more confusing, and when he was puzzled, Zhao Liang happened to come to the door, and because there was no progress in the case, he was very attentive to Mu Qingming, intending to ask Mu Qingming to be a supernumerary consultant of the police department to help him solve all kinds of bizarre and strange cases. For the sake of the ocean's face, Mu Qing responded to it. After Zhao Liang pointed out the means of committing the murder and the scope of suspects in the Chen Fu murder case, he asked to see the case file of the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion. Led out Mu Qingming looked at the file at a glance and ten lines, and did not forget the content of the file to judge the strange case. The dragon locker and the detective work together to arrest the murderer who is still lurking in Chen's mansion. 】
Outside, the rain and snow had stopped, but the cold wind was still howling.
"How do you know that the eldest lady has a case?" Zhao Liang was slightly stunned, staring at Mu Qingming and gradually becoming dumbfounded.
This is a little-known unsolved case in the police department, let alone outsiders, and even few police officers in the provincial police department know about it.
When Zhao Liang was deeply surprised, the black cat had quietly entered the door, squatting in the corner and watching the two of them.
"Don't make such a fuss, I'm not a fool; When I left the Chen Mansion that night, some of the servants of the Chen Mansion were whispering that the fourth aunt was too soul-seeking by the eldest lady. I heard them say that it was because the eldest lady of the year was also hung on the roof beam after her tongue was cut. Mu Qingming glanced at the black cat, then moved his gaze to Zhao Liang's face, which was full of consternation, and said slowly and calmly: "In the same way, if the eldest lady is also in the same death state as the fourth aunt, she can't hang herself up first and then struggle to cut her tongue." ”。
"Old Master Chen's family has a big business, and someone actually commits murder unscrupulously under his nose, obviously he will not let the murderer go easily. And the fourth aunt is also the same death, which shows that the secret of the eldest lady is still an unsolved case on your police's side. Mu Qingming paused, and then added very proudly: "You stupid policemen, you must not have even found the murderer's hair, right?" ”。
When Zhao Liang heard this, he gradually put away his astonishment and nodded; Facing the stupid policeman Zhao Liang who Mu Qingming said, he was speechless, but he clenched his fists with both hands and said solemnly: "Yes, I was not a detective at that time; But when I first entered the industry, I encountered this case. The former detective was a bastard who liked to eat and wait for death, and when he saw that he had no clue about the case, he said that the eldest lady committed suicide and hastily closed the case. My master was running a school at that time, and he couldn't interfere in the affairs of the police department, so the case was closed. So this secret has become a little-known unsolved case in the police department. ”。
Recalling the death of the eldest lady at that time, Zhao Liang's eyes couldn't help but be filled with a little self-blame and guilt; Especially the bloodstained mouth of the eldest lady, and the infinite horror in her bulging and bloodshot eyes, are still vividly remembered, which makes Zhao Liang worry every time he thinks about it.
Mu Qingming looked at his guilty appearance, and suddenly felt that he had a little debt just now, so he pondered for a moment and then asked slowly: "If you want to catch the murderer for the eldest lady, and then catch the person who killed the fourth aunt, let me read the file." ”。
After thinking for a while, he said bluntly: "Although I helped you largely for money, for the sake of your integrity, I will do my best." ”。
"Hmm." After hearing that Mu Qingming was willing to help, Zhao Liang nodded stunnedly, then put away his guilt and stood up, put on a full robe, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the file." ”。
Mu Qing saw that it was getting late, and the wind was cold outside, so he scratched his head and asked reluctantly, "Don't you wait until tomorrow?" ”。
"Brother, human life is at stake, and it can't be delayed." Zhao Liang came over and picked up Mu Qingming and walked out of the door......
In the 28th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, Yunnan set up a police force in Kunming, the provincial capital, and set up the Yunnan Police General Bureau in Yuantong Temple. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the provincial provincial capital patrol police station was abolished, and the organization temporarily followed the old system. However, on February 6 of the same year, the government of the Republic of China, which had convulsions, changed the patrol police station to the police department of the Yunnan provincial capital.
Zhao Liang is the current inspector of the police department.
The cold wind was blowing, Mu Qingming had to wrap his cotton jacket tightly, and reluctantly followed Zhao Liang to the north, and walked for a while to the gate of Yuantong Temple.
Speaking of this Yuantong Temple, it can be said that it has a long history, and it is almost a product of the same period as the East and West Temple Towers.
According to historical records, in the first year of Tang Yongtai (765), the fifth king of Nanzhao, the famous Yunnan Wang Ge Luofeng, ordered the craftsmen of the country to build and expand the east city on the north bank of Dianchi Lake, which was known as the eastern capital of Nanzhao in history.
At the same time, a number of temples with the characteristics of Nanzhao Buddhism were also built in the city, and the Budra Temple, which was located under the cliff of Luofeng Mountain in the northeastern suburbs of Tuodong City at that time, was one of them. And this has the name of the twister of the temple of Budhara, that is, the predecessor of the Yuantong Temple.
This temple is also one of the earliest Guanyin temples in China, more than 100 years earlier than the four famous Buddhist mountains in Zhejiang. But the good times did not last long, perhaps because of the bad name, after more than 400 years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the war in the early Yuan Dynasty burned to Yunnan, and the temple was also reduced to ruins under the hooves of the Mongols. Subsequently, from the fifth year of Dade (1301) to the sixth year of Yanyou (1319) of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan people spent another 18 years to rebuild a larger temple on the ruins of the Pudra Temple, and renamed it Yuantong Temple.
Since then, the people of Kunming have called this Luofeng Mountain as Yuantong Mountain.
Since then, Yuantong Temple has been existing in the city of Kunming; After the change of four dynasties, not only did not destroy, but more and more magnificent, the Buddha statue in the majestic hall*, the mountains and rocks between the unique pavilions, the forest trees on the cutting wall thousands of thousands, attracted the poets and inkmen of the past dynasties to leave a lot of praise verses, and was known as "Luofeng embraces the green", it is a great honor to be included in one of the eight views of Kunming.
And the whole temple is quiet in the middle of the noise, to see the big from the small, and by the scenery of the Luofeng Mountain behind it, the formation of a unique style of the water courtyard Buddhist temple, has a unique style in the art of gardening.
In addition to the tall and magnificent Yuantong Shengjingfang, Yuantong Treasure Palace, Octagonal Pavilion, etc., there are more ancestors of the dragon lockers, secretly instructing the monk Ah We Li to recite the ancient Xia Wenshan Sutra that can descend Jiaojiao left in Yunnan when Yu ruled the water, so as to subdue the evil Jiaolong, and the curse Jiaotai left after quelling the flood.
Mu Qingming slowly walked into the temple with Zhao Liang; Unlike other Buddhist temples, the temple does not go uphill behind the mountain gate, but goes downhill along the central axis.
This is also one of the great wonders of Yuantong Temple; In Chinese architectural culture, there is often a saying that the front is low and the back is high, which means "step by step", and it is more conducive to drainage. But this Yuantong Temple is not taking the ordinary road, built high in the front and low in the back, and the terrain of the traditional temple is completely reversed. The further you enter the temple, the lower the terrain becomes, and it is a rare "inverted slope temple". It has formed the scenery of entering the door to know that there is a temple, and entering the temple to know that there is a mountain.
The two of them went around the solemn and magnificent, glass-roofed Yuantong Treasure Hall one after another, and came to the side courtyard in the east.
Mu Qingming has been to this side courtyard a few times since he made his palm, but they all came during the day.
In the side courtyard where the ancient cypress canghua is luxuriant at night, three two-storey small buildings arranged in the shape of "concave" are brightly lit in the night, and the sound of the gurgling spring water in the tide sound hole under the cliff can be faintly heard not far away.
Mu Qingming followed Zhao Liang up to the second floor of the small building on the right, and walked to the room in the depths of the corridor.
After knocking on the closed door, Zhao Liang said to the policeman who opened the door: "Give me the case file of Mrs. Chen a year ago." ”。
The policeman hesitated for a moment, then said in dialect: "You wait." He turned around and went to the house, and after rummaging through the bookshelves for a while, he took a dusty brown paper bag and handed it to Zhao Liang.
After Zhao Liang thanked him, he took Mu Qingming and went straight to his office. After entering the room and lighting the oil lamp, Zhao Liang looked curiously at Mu Qingming, who was furnished in his office, and invited him to sit down behind his desk.
After dusting off the paper bag again, Zhao Liang put the file in front of Mu Qingming without saying a word. Mu Qingming glanced at the words "closed" printed on the paper bag, then looked at Zhao Lianghou clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said leisurely: "Boss Zhao, even if I am here to work for you, I have followed you in the cold wind for so long, why do you have to warm up your body with a cup of hot tea first." ”。
"That's a lot." Zhao Liang, who was a little impatient, sucked his lips and picked up his own water cup on the table: "Wait, I'll soak it for you." ”。
As he spoke, he strode out of the house with his cup.
"I'm going to drink Pu'er, ripe Pu'er." Mu Qingming looked at his back and shouted again.
"No, only the high end (the tea leaves sieved when the tea shop sifts the tea), I like to drink it or not." Zhao Liang replied without thinking and went out.
Mu Qingming looked at the door and smiled lightly, reached out and took the paper bag to open it, and took out a dozen notes full of calligraphy words inside.
After taking a deep breath, the eyes staring at the notes moved quickly from side to side, looking at the contents at a glance.
His memory and reading ability are different from ordinary people since he was a child, no matter what book he reads, even if he glances at ten lines, he can still remember what he reads after reading it two or three times.
In the sound of "whooshing" from time to time, in just a moment, the dozen pages of notes were read by Mu Qingming.
Mu Qingming put down the note, leaned back on his head, slowly closed his eyes and quickly recalled the content in his mind before slowly opening his eyes.
"Done?" Zhao Liang, who walked into the room with hot tea, saw that the file bag had been opened, and looked at Mu Qingming who was slightly bowed in surprise, with the word "disbelief" written on his face.
"When did the eldest lady die? Where to die? Who found her body first? Zhao Liang, who put down the teacup, decided to verify whether Mu Qingming was lying. So he picked up the file from the table and gently held it in his hand.
"I died on the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year last year, and the police department received a report when it was ugly; The eldest lady died in the hall of the Chen Mansion, but unlike the death of the fourth aunt, a lot of blood was sprayed on the ground in the hall at that time, and the same was true on the front of the eldest lady's clothes. Mu Qingming slowly lifted the teacup, slowly scraped the tea powder in the cup with the quilt cover, and then blew the hot air slowly: "The first person to find the body was the fourth aunt who got up at night, and the fourth aunt had just entered the door at that time. ”。
Zhao Liang hurriedly looked through the file in his hand, but after finding that what Mu Qingming said was the same as the file, he still didn't believe that someone could memorize thousands of words in just a few minutes, and he asked again: "In the confession, what did the fourth aunt say?" ”。
She said that she liked to go to the hut on the east side of the hall to go to the toilet, but to get there from the bedroom she had to go through the hall, so she saw the hanged lady. was so frightened that he screamed on the spot, attracting the husband who was on duty at the Chen Mansion at night. Mu Qingming took a sip of fragrant tea and said leisurely: "The taste of Gao Mo is also good." ”。
"Then after you read it, who do you think the murderer is?" Zhao Liang asked.
"I can only tell you who I am sure of is the murderer of the fourth aunt. But the eldest lady, I really don't know. Mu Qingming put down the teacup and said slowly with confidence: "As far as I know, the eldest lady has a human bone comb, don't ask me how I know, and I also know that the comb is made of the eldest lady's leg bones, so you can just go and catch Wu's mother." ”。
Why did Mu Qingming say that the murderer was Wu's mother? And is Mother Wu the murderer who killed the fourth aunt? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
