Chapter 367: Talc

According to the statement of the little Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest would often disappear for a few days without saying hello, sometimes meditating and practicing on the top of the mountain; Sometimes I go to find friends in the mountains.

Therefore, when Lao Dao did not come back for two days, he didn't pay much attention to it, until he met a mountain man in the early morning, saying that someone had fallen from the top of the mountain, and he panicked, so he remembered to go down the mountain and call the police.

'Just based on the words of the mountain people, they ran to call the police? This reason is a bit far-fetched, and Lin Jinghao has to doubt the true intentions of the little Taoist: "Why do you think that the person who fell is your master?" ”

The little Taoist priest's expression was very calm: "All the people on the mountain know that the top of the mountain is my master's exclusive place for meditation and practice, not to mention that my master has not come back for three days, and there is no news, and the mountain people also say... I haven't seen anyone go to the top of the hill for a few days. ”

Lin Jinghao didn't know if the mountain people mentioned by the little Taoist priest were the same person as the mountain people who called the police, but the little Taoist's explanation seemed to make sense.

Lin Jinghao thought about it for a while and said, "This morning, we found a corpse under the cliff, and he is your master. Lin Jinghao said as he watched the expression change on the little Taoist's face, and he hoped to see a little clue from it.

"Master...", the little Taoist priest's face showed a clear sad expression. However, after a brief period of sorrow, he immediately reined in his thoughts, folded his hands, and began to recite the scriptures in his chair.

Originally, Lin Jinghao wanted to continue to ask questions, but when he saw that the little Taoist priest kept practicing the scriptures, he could only stop temporarily.

Getting up and walking out of the interrogation room, Lin Jinghao wanted to rest first. At the same time, you can also clear your mind again.

Pei Feng also walked out: "Lin Suo, you went to the top of the mountain alone in the morning, what did you see?" Is there anything suspicious about the master's death? ”

Pei Feng didn't follow him up the mountain in the morning, so everything he knew was still told to him by the big tree.

"At the top of the mountain, we found that someone had sprinkled white talcum powder on the edge of the cliff, and we also found traces of someone falling. According to our inference, it is very likely that the old Taoist priest was because someone knew that he often practiced on the top of the mountain, so they set a trap, causing the tragedy of him stumbling and falling off the cliff. ”

"Then you mean, he killed..."Pei Feng frowned, as if he couldn't believe it. Then, he paused again and said to himself: "Lin Suo, who would kill a Taoist priest who has no quarrel with the world? What did he want from him? ”

Pei Feng's statement is very realistic, generally according to the normal logic of criminal killing, a criminal kills either for money, profit, or for women. However, for a monk who has lived in seclusion in the mountains, these things are undoubtedly unprofitable.

"You're right, so I suspect that this case should still be related to Chen Wei's murder?" Lin Jinghao didn't tell Pei Feng that he had seen Zhang Yang.

Originally, he was still skeptical of what Zhang Yang said, but now that there was a sudden case of Lao Dao being killed, he began to believe everything Zhang Yang said.

Lin Jinghao's statement also surprised Pei Feng, all the inferences at the beginning were agreed by everyone: "Wasn't Chen Wei killed by Zeng Yi?" ”

"I always thought that Zeng Yi killed Chen Wei, but now the death of Lao Dao makes me think that Chen Wei's case may have another hidden story. I'm afraid, we'll have to re-check again. ”

If you go in the wrong direction, you have to find the right direction again, not to mention that now that Lao Dao's death is in front of him, he can't help but let Lin Jinghao start to examine this case again.

The little Taoist priest in the interrogation room had already simply sat on the ground to meditate and chant the scriptures, Lin Jinghao and Pei Feng glanced at each other, and the two pushed open the door again and walked in.

The sound of pushing the door alarmed the little Taoist, who opened his eyes, but still did not get up from the ground.

"Asking the police officer to seriously investigate the master's case will allow him to rest in Elysium." The calmness of the little Taoist priest made Lin Jinghao feel ashamed, seeing that he should be about the same age as Shan Hong, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but he could be so calm in the face of the death of his only 'relative' at this moment?

Sitting down again, Lin Jinghao glanced at the little Taoist priest who was chanting at the end of the year: "How many years have you been with the master?" ”

"Officer, I was abandoned next to a hut deep in the mountains when I was born, and it was the master who picked me up and raised me, I am nineteen years old this year, and I have been in the mountains for nineteen years." If the little Taoist priest is not talking, you will wonder if he has already entered the meditation.

"In addition to teaching you to meditate and chant the scriptures, the master has taught you other things, such as kung fu." Lin Jinghao began to lead the little Taoist priest to the top of the case.

"In addition to teaching me the concept of Taoism, the master also taught me some ways to strengthen my body, as for the kung fu you mentioned, the two who live next door to us are more advanced."

Speaking of the neighbors next to the old Taoist master and apprentice, Lin Jinghao suddenly remembered that the suspects were not the only ones, but unfortunately he had never seen those two families.

"Have the three of you lived together all the time? Where have they all gone now? ”

"We didn't know each other at first, but when I was ten years old, Zhang Jushi went up the mountain to find a real monk to make offerings, and he also donated money on the mountainside to build three thatched huts, and then the three of us lived together."

"You mean, the other two families also received offerings from Zhang Jushi?"

"Yes, for this, Zhang Wei was still very uncomfortable, and kept pestering Zhang Jushi to prevent him from going down the mountain, but then there was no way, Zhang Jushi promised him to let Nurse Zhang go up the mountain every year, and also did a free physical examination for him, so he didn't make any more trouble."

"Does Zhang Jushi go up the mountain every year to check on you?" Lin Jinghao finally knew how Zhang Jushi knew which of them's blood type matched Zhang Yang's.

"Yes, sometimes he will be with Nurse Zhang, and sometimes Nurse Zhang will be alone."

"And who are the other two? Where can I find them now? "What Lin Jinghao needs now is evidence, if he hadn't found them earlier, there was a good chance that they would have disappeared forever.

"One is called Zhou Hong, a monk, according to him, when he was young, he also studied martial arts in Shaolin Temple; The other one is called Huang Zheng, saying that his wife ran away with someone else, and his parents are gone, so he went up the mountain and wanted to stay away from the world to practice. It is said that he used to be a soldier, and his kung fu was also good, and he often studied with Zhou Hong. After Chen Wei's accident, now both of them have moved to the top of the mountain, and I went to them two days ago to inquire about the whereabouts of the master. ”

The two people mentioned by the little Taoist priest are both martial arts, and they have both accepted Zhang Jushi's offerings, so they may also be 'monitors'.

"Tell the big tree that they're ready to go into the mountain." Lin Jinghao couldn't wait any longer, he stood up and prepared to enter the mountain again.

"Lin Suo, they just came back, and they haven't eaten lunch yet..."Looking at Pei Feng's appearance, he seemed a little embarrassed.

Lin Jinghao's figure was just about to walk out, but he was called to stop. Thinking about it, when I went up the mountain in the morning, those few were already complaining, and it was indeed a little unbearable to let them go up the mountain immediately when they were hungry.

Lin Jinghao turned around and glanced at Pei Feng again, Pei Feng and Gu Qing were very good, but it was a pity that their ability to fight in close combat was not enough.

"Okay, take a break, finish lunch, and go up the mountain immediately."

In the afternoon, Lin Jinghao personally drove up the mountain with a small Taoist, a big tree, a large piece of Li and a small Zhang. According to the guidance of the little Taoist, he did not stop all the way, and drove directly towards the top of the mountain.

When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the little Taoist priest signaled to stop. There is a path next to the mountain road, and you can't see the end at a glance, and you don't know where it leads.

"I reminded several police officers that this road is dangerous, and if you have bad legs and feet, it is better not to go there." Seeing the big tree limping out of the car, the little Taoist priest said seriously.

"Yes, big tree, don't go, if you have something, you can have support." Lin Jinghao glanced at it, the path was very narrow, and there seemed to be a slope at the turn, and it was indeed easy to slide down the hill if he was not careful.

"Alright, I'll wait for you here." Big Tree saw the danger of the mountain road, and he really didn't have the courage to try again.

The little Taoist priest once again told everyone to be careful, and then led the way, followed by Xiao Zhang, Da Li, and Lin Jinghao at the end.

Walked about 500 meters is a mountain cliff, in the middle of the cliff, was artificially dug out of a tunnel that is only enough for one person to pass, there is no guardrail next to the tunnel, at a glance, it is a bottomless abyss.

"A couple of officers are careful." The little Taoist priest didn't seem to be scared at all, and when he finished speaking, one of his feet had already stepped into the tunnel.

"Don't look down, look at the road." The big piece Li stood in front of the tunnel and hesitated, and Lin Jinghao hurriedly reminded him in the back.

After all, Xiao Zhang is a person who likes extreme sports, but he followed without hesitation like no one else.

Walking in the tunnel, listening to the sound of rocks rolling down under your feet, and the dark back in front of you, it is really hard to imagine why anyone would want to live in such a place.

After walking for half an hour, I finally walked out of the tunnel, and everything in front of me suddenly made a few people suddenly enlightened, a green grassland is located between two mountain peaks, and Yanran is a beautiful valley with a flat river.

"They live in the cave in front of them." The little Taoist priest made sure that several people had come out safely, and he pointed to the front and said loudly.

The few people who came out of the dark tunnel were shocked when they heard this, and they all glanced at each other, and their faces showed a smile of relief.

After traveling nearly 500 meters in the valley again, two caves next to each other appeared on the mountain wall, there were piles of sand and cement next to the caves, and there was a bucket of white latex on the ground, and next to the white latex, there was a white woven bag that was tightly tied, and Lin Jinghao saw it at a glance, there were three big blue characters - talcum powder.
