Fifty-three. Temple Exploration

The next morning, while I was still worried about Gu Hui's case, I received a call from Wang Lijun. To my surprise, we were asked to go to the temple where we were paying their respects. Put down the phone.

"We need to go to the temple today." I said to Cao Yang next to me.

"Ah, why us."

"I don't know, anyway, I heard him say that the two of us are witness representatives. I don't know what the hell he's up to. ”

After speaking, Cao Yang and I got dressed and waited for Wang Lijun's subordinates to pick him up on the first floor, and soon a young criminal policeman came and asked very politely.

"Excuse me, are Mr. Wang Wei and Mr. Cao Yang here?"

Cao Yang and I answered in unison, verified our identities and got into the car, I originally wanted to sit in the back seat, but at the suggestion of the young detective, I sat in the passenger seat.

"You're newly transferred, I haven't been impressed with you these times." I looked out the window with one hand on my chin.

"Ah, you said I, I was only recently transferred, and I happened to be on other tasks in the first few police trips, so I didn't come." The young detective replied earnestly.

I suddenly became a little serious and asked, "What is the reason why you called me here this time, it took nearly two days before the witnesses were called to the scene, and besides, we are ......" I didn't finish my words.

"Ah, you two don't have to be so polite, I wanted to bring an assistant at that time, after all, it's two uh...... Suspects, you know. But our captain told me to trust you completely, so I came on my own. I think it's also about the case. ”

I hummed and stopped squeaking, the speed of the police car was much faster than the bus, and soon we were at the gate of the monastery, and as we had been the last time we came, there was still no one at the door, and it was very desolate.

I got out of the car, politely knocked on the door before entering the courtyard, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I was attracted by the cordon around the side room, and at a glance I saw Wang Lijun standing in the cordon, in addition to him, and the little follower who covered himself tightly last time, and the abbot here.

Wang Lijun also noticed our arrival, nodded to the young detective, and we crossed the cordon.

"You're here just in time, you see it's the scene of the crime."

I looked in the direction he was pointing, the crime scene was in the side room, I looked in on tiptoe, and saw a few number cards on the ground, I thought it was probably put by someone in the forensics class, and the crime scene usually uses this as a means of recording the scene.

"What was the time and cause of death of Meyer?" I asked curiously.

Wang Lijun hesitated for a few seconds, and I looked back at him, only to see him and his attendant wink.

"Because Meyer is an international friend, it will be very troublesome to dissect the autopsy immediately, so now our preliminary autopsy report confirms that the time of death is probably the afternoon of the day of the memorial." Wang Lijun said.

"It's so long, can't it be precise?"

"Unfortunately, it would be difficult to be accurate to the hour without dissecting, but the cause of death has been identified, and when I arrived at the scene, I smelled almonds, and a preliminary autopsy had already identified Qinghua nail poisoning. I already said this in the last questioning, fortunately we found a bottle of water around, and the water did detect Qinghua nail poisoning, if nothing else, it should be right. Wang Lijun said as if he was reporting.

I was amazed at his friendly attitude, which did not see me as a suspect at all, and I didn't have the heart to think about what caused his attitude to change 180 degrees.

"Last time you said bruises, what caused it?" Cao Yang asked curiously beside him.

"You ask this, our preliminary autopsy report shows several bruises, mostly on the right side of the body, on the arms, waist, and knees. I thought it was most likely abused by the killer, but the medical examiner concluded that it was formed when he fell from a height of more than five meters. However, this is not the cause of death, and we do not yet know the exact cause of its formation. ”

I nodded puzzledly at this explanation.

"Let me ask you this time, are you sure that it was the sound of the bird's nest falling now?"

"Well, I still keep my opinion from last time, which is the bird's nest." Speaking of this, I stepped out of the cordon and came to the door of the back room under the big tree. "Well, it's the bird's nest up there."

"Well, I've confirmed it, you can take a closer look at this bird's nest, it's wrapped around a big tree with a rope, and our young criminal policeman climbed up and tried to get it down with his hand, but he couldn't push it off no matter how he got it. The firmness can be imagined. The abbot also confirmed this statement, and when the nest was built, it was fixed to the tree in this way, so it was not easy to get the nest down. Wang Lijun said and stepped out of the cordon.

"What the hell is going on, I'll make it clear in advance, we're not lying." Cao Yang immediately explained behind Li Jun.

"I know this, I also found the abbot to see the rope that tied the bird's nest at that time, the rope has been broken, the rope was indeed too old at that time, so it may be more fragile than now, but from the point of view of the fracture, it must have been broken with the help of external force, and the strength is completely unimaginable."

After Wang Lijun finished speaking, the abbot took out the broken rope from behind him, and I watched it carefully, just as they said.

"What is the reason for that?" I said, holding the rope.

"This hasn't been clarified yet, we have two doubts now......" Wang Lijun said as he walked towards me.

"Don't say it, I've always had a doubt with me just now, why do you trust us so much."

My words made him stunned and hesitated for a moment, "Because of an old friend." ”

"Old friends?" Cao Yang and I spoke in unison.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I just trust you, can't I? You are policemen, even if you are really criminals, you can't run the monk to the temple. ”

"That's too." I replied quietly.

"There are two suspicions, the first is where and how the bruises on the deceased's body were caused, and the second is how the bird's nest fell."

I nodded, "Can I look around?" ”

"Of course, just don't destroy the scene."

When I heard his answer, I wandered around alone to see if I could find any answers. There is a passage about five or six meters wide between the side house and the back room, because no one has been here for a long time and it is overgrown with weeds. I tentatively made my way to the mezzanine, and I looked at the high wall erected in front of me, "This is the side of the house where the crime was found." Because the temple was not very wealthy, the houses were not made of reinforced concrete, but were made of simple bricks or wood.

The height of the side houses is about eight meters, and the main body of the house is made of brick and the eaves are made of wood. Because the house does not look like a master bedroom, the bricks and wood at the junction between the roof and the main body are falling away due to the disrepair, forming a large hole that is still quite square, and if you don't look closely, it looks like a window without glass. The height of the hole is about five meters.

"What does this have to do with the case, it's the only height in this room that people can stay. Did Meyer fall from here? I muttered quietly to the back of the side room.

I was really shocked by the appearance of the back of the side house, and my first impression was that it was just a simple temple, with only a few rooms in the courtyard, but the back of the side house completely broke my mind.

At the back of the side house is a small pit, and on top of the pit is a vegetable field, where I think the abbot and the monks usually eat their dishes. At the end of the vegetable patch is a small house made of wood, which is very ordinary. When I got closer, it turned out to be a warehouse.

"Quack~squeak~" I opened the door with force, looked around and entered the house. The smell inside the house was very unpleasant, the smell of sawdust being rained. There are no windows and the back is still on the back, so the light in the room is very dark even during the day. I turned on my phone's flashlight and scanned it around. It turned out that there weren't many things piled up in the house, and most of them were placed in the corners. I first went to one corner and took a closer look at the pile of rotten wood on the ground, and then I looked at the other three corners, which were also the same, mostly rotten wood.

Just as I was about to leave the dilapidated warehouse, I was in the right corner of the doorway, and the only light in the doorway illuminated the wooden pile very clearly. I checked forward again that the wood was rotten and smelled terrible. I tried touching it with my hand, and it was wet.

I moved the rotten wood away with all my might, and I saw that there was a wooden ladder under the rotten wood, and I touched it with my hand, and it was very smooth.

An impossible idea came to my mind, and it was just a physical evidence to unlock the mystery that shrouded the temple. I thought as I closed the warehouse door and headed to the back room......
