Originally, Wang Hai still had a sad expression, but after hearing my words, his face was full of shock, and he stared at me in disbelief for a long time before saying, "You, are you sure?" ”

"Sure, this matter is actually very simple, if it weren't for the lack of manpower here and the fact that the crime didn't take a long time, maybe you would have been able to find out the truth."

"But aren't you going to ask the suspects who were here at the time? Isn't it a bit too hasty to decide the case like this? ”

"It doesn't matter, in the face of conclusive evidence, all explanations are pale, you just need to call them over, and the rest of the things, you can stand aside and watch."

Ask yourself, I've only been here for a few dozen minutes, and it is natural for Wang Hai not to believe it when he said that the case had been solved so quickly, but although he didn't believe it, he still did what I said, nodded and turned around and went out to call those relevant people over.

After Wang Hai left, Pan An turned his head and asked me suspiciously, "Ji Wen, what kind of way are you?" Does that question you asked me to ask have anything to do with this case? Why are you so sure that the case has been solved? So you've found out where the abbot is? ”

I smiled proudly: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you let me pretend to die for a while?" ”

After about ten minutes, Wang Hai walked in with a few monks, I took a general look, it was a middle-aged monk in gray clothes, two older monks in yellow robes, and a young monk also wearing gray clothes, a total of four people, it is estimated that these four people are the four suspects involved in this case.

Before I could speak, Wang Hai immediately turned to the four monks behind him as if he was afraid that I would make a mistake: "You will each tell you about your own experiences in detail." ”

That little monk may be the last monk to deliver food to the abbot, when he heard Wang Hai's words, he immediately had a reluctant expression, and muttered: "We have said it hundreds of times, and we have to say it again, is your memory so bad?" ”

Wang Hai was a little unhappy when he heard this: "Cooperate with our police work, we will let you say whatever you want, this is for your good!" ”

I hurriedly raised my hand to stop Wang Hai from continuing, my eyes swept over the four monks in front of me, and then said: "I already know exactly what this case is about, so I don't need you to say, because I know that one of you must be telling a lie, so I don't bother to listen to this person's lies, and I will tell you what happened as it is." ”

Before I came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, I had already listed all the possibilities of the case and formulated a clear set of detection directions for myself, but when I came to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, I only made one of the possible assumptions, and I didn't expect to be blinded by me at one time.

Looking at this hall, although it looks magnificent and has a lot of space, it is difficult to hide a person, and my feeling at that time is that either the abbot was swept away by the monk in the absence of people around, and quietly made out the hall of the main hall and hidden, or the abbot can only hide behind these Buddha statues, otherwise, I really can't think of any reason to explain the disappearance of the abbot this time.

Originally, I planned to go behind the Buddha statues to see if the inside of these Buddha statues could be Tibetan, but after all, this is a quiet place for Buddhism, and who knows if I will be punished for doing so? And it is estimated that when Wang Hai searched before, he must have thought of the Buddha statue, so they must have searched the Buddha statue, so I can only temporarily lock the suspicion on the sweeping monk who has the last time to be with the abbot.

After locking the suspicion of sweeping monks, I found the main entrance opposite the Buddha statue under the table, there are more incense ashes hidden there than other places of incense ashes, at first I thought that when the murderer and the abbot were fighting, knocked over the incense burner on the table, only to cause all the incense ashes to fall to the ground, the murderer had no choice but to hide the incense ashes under the offering table to hide people's eyes, but I looked carefully at the incense burner on the offering table, the incense ashes were full, and there was no trace of being knocked over, and the clothes left by the abbot, It was not stained with any incense ash, so it can basically be ruled out that the abbot knocked over the confession table when he fought with the murderer.

So if this is the case, how should these incense ashes be explained? There is so much incense ash under this offering table for no reason, which is definitely a key clue!

So I tried to stand above the offering table to try to reconstruct the crime scene at that time, but when I stood above the offering table, I discovered the real source of these incense ashes!

The first thing we see after entering the door of the Daxiong Hall is the mighty Buddha statue, but because of the existence of the Buddha statue, we have ignored another thing that is not very small, that is, in front of the main entrance, for tourists to use the huge incense stove!

The volume and height of this Ding furnace are very large, and it seems very insignificant in the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall, so it is difficult for ordinary people to pay attention to this Ding furnace, and I was standing on the offering table at that time when I saw this Ding furnace, and I understood everything.

Because according to the volume of this Ding furnace, if you hide one person in it, it is definitely more than enough! And because there is a cover of incense ash, and this Ding furnace is not taken seriously, so there is a person hidden in it, which ordinary people can't imagine at all, and this can completely explain why there will be so many incense ashes under the offering table behind this Ding furnace, that is because the murderer hid the abbot in the Ding furnace and buried it, and the incense ash overflowed from the Ding furnace, and these incense ashes were hidden under the offering table when the murderer didn't know how to deal with them.

Originally, the murderer thought that he could hide from the world and sea, deliberately left the abbot's clothes, so that everyone thought that the abbot had become a Buddha and ascended to heaven, and then waited until no one was paying attention, and then quietly removed the abbot's body and found a place to dispose of it, so that he could kill people unconsciously, but he didn't expect that it was because of these incense ashes that he thought were harmless at the time, but his entire killing process was exposed.

Speaking of this, I turned my head and pointed to the sixth junior brother of the abbot who was in a cold sweat and said: "If this is the case, then there is only one possibility left that I listed before, that is, the body of the abbot, in fact, it was hidden in this Daxiong Treasure Hall from beginning to end and did not leave, so the sweeping monk did not lie, and the second junior brother of the abbot who came in first did not lie, and the only one who lied was the only one left with this so-called sixth junior brother!" Because he's the only one who has the ability to do it all. ”

Everyone's eyes turned to the sixth junior brother who was in a cold sweat, and the sixth junior brother hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "How is this possible, if the monks don't speak, how can I kill the abbot senior brother and lie?" Donor, do you know that if you wronged others, you will go to eighteen layers of hell after death! ”

"Humph! If you're going to hell, I think you'll be going to be ahead of me, right? Pan An, do you remember what I just asked you to inquire? ”

Pan An seemed to have understood everything at this time, and immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Of course I remember, you asked me to ask how these four suspects' usual clothes were washed, and let me find out who changed their clothes last night, and whether there were traces of incense ash on the sleeves of the changed clothes." I have already asked, among these people, only these two old monks' clothes were handed over to the disciples to wash, and the only person who changed his clothes last night was this sixth junior disciple, and I also found a large number of traces of incense ash on his cuffs, although he seemed to have tried to pat it before, but once the incense ash sticks to the clothes, it is difficult to completely pat it clean. ”

That's right, according to my understanding, if the murderer at that time, that is, the abbot's sixth junior brother, hid the abbot's body in the Ding furnace, then his clothes must be stained with a large amount of incense ashes, and these incense ashes will be more collected in the cuffs, so I asked Pan An to go out to help me inquire, who knew that after such an inquiry, the problem would be so simple.

Although I haven't checked whether there is the abbot's body in the Ding furnace, now that all the clues are correct, even if I don't look at it, this is an indisputable fact.

The abbot's sixth junior brother still refused to admit it, gritted his teeth and said: "The incense ash was accidentally stuck to my clothes when I was meditating yesterday, why do you say that I killed the abbot's senior brother?" ”

"Still hard-mouthed? Do you know that there is a method called fingerprint identification now, I think when you killed the abbot, you probably didn't wear gloves, right? Do you want to find the abbot's body now and pull you out for a fingerprint test? If your fingerprints appear on the abbot's body, then you really can't argue! ”

After I finished saying these last words, the abbot's sixth junior brother was decadent, and cold sweat was already covering his face, and he also covered his face and squatted down, crying bitterly, and told the truth of the matter.

It turned out that the six junior brothers had found that the abbot had embezzled the public funds of the Shaolin Temple to buy a car and a house for himself, and also raised a lot of little wives, the sixth junior brother felt that as the abbot of the Shaolin Temple did such a rebellious thing, it was really unforgivable, so the six junior brothers reported the abbot anonymously many times, but the abbot shirked it for various reasons, and he was still living a very free life, so the sixth junior brother moved to kill and wanted to get rid of it quickly.

Yesterday afternoon, the sixth junior brother left a letter to the abbot under the anonymous name he used when reporting the abbot, asking him to wait alone in the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the afternoon to discuss the reconciliation between the two. And the reason why the sixth junior brother chose to kill people here is because in the entire Shaolin Temple, only in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is such a big enough Ding furnace to hold one person.

I don't need to say much about the rest of the matter, everything is exactly the same as I speculated, the abbot's sixth junior brother also explained the entire process of killing, and Wang Hai also recorded it in detail on the side, but I always felt a feeling of palpitations in my heart, as if something terrible was about to happen!
