"So you're eyewitnesses?"

"You are?"

Lu Peng put the police sign in front of them, "I am from the Anding County Serious Crime Team, I want to know some information about the two of you, and I hope you can cooperate with me." ”

The two of them had already denied it just now, and then they said that they didn't know that they were deliberately hiding the truth of the case, so Lu Peng's visit should be very smooth, and I went to the toilet after successfully laying cover. I didn't want to participate in the boring visit, and by the time I returned, Lu Peng's visit had already ended.

"Is it going well?"

Lu Peng nodded.

"They said that at the time of the incident, there were many people at the festival, and the little Taoist priest had been holding incense in front of the altar before, and basically had no contact with other people. At the time of the incident, everyone even thought it was a performance at the festival, but it wasn't until the people from the escort arrived that they realized that something was wrong. ”

Lu Peng took a sip of coffee.

"These two guys were afraid that they would get into trouble, so they slipped away first, and at that time, people's lives were at stake, and almost everyone near the Seven Star Pavilion gathered together. The two of them ran away in a hurry, and they were not familiar with the terrain of the Jade Toad Palace, so they touched the Sanqing Altar in a daze. ”

"Sanqing Altar?" Li Mubai's eyebrows tightened, "The highest point of Wenbi Peak is in Sanqing Altar, and you can indeed walk to Sanqing Altar from the Seven Star Pavilion, however, there are a total of seven pavilions in the Seven Star Pavilion, which are distributed from the foot of Wenbi Peak to the top of the mountain, and all the people in the vicinity will not gather for more than five minutes from the incident to the incident, and five minutes should not be enough time for the two of them to walk from the Dharma to the top of the mountain, right?" ”

Lu Peng nodded, "That's right, they didn't go to the top of the mountain, but saw the Sanqing Altar on the mountainside. ”

"Could it be that they saw something?" Li Mubai asked.

"They said that there were people doing it on the Sanqing Altar, a Taoist in a black robe, sneaky, and it didn't take long for the crime to disappear from the direction of the Jade Toad Pavilion."

"The Sanqing Altar was closed yesterday, and it is impossible for tourists to go up, and what they see must be the people inside the Jade Toad Palace." I am very sure of that, because yesterday when Li Mubai and I wanted to go to the Sanqing Altar, we were stopped by a few Taoist priests, and they said that after the death of Zhang Zhishun Dao Changxian, the Sanqing Altar would be closed every month.

Li Mubai still frowned, "The cause of the little Taoist's death is unknown, and two witnesses saw a black-robed person doing things in Sanqing Altar at the time of the incident. If there is a relationship between the two, then the little Taoist priest should have died of secret arts. ”

"Mystic?"

Li Mubai nodded, "Secret art is a kind of witchcraft from southern Xinjiang, which is prevalent in the current Yunnan-Guizhou and Sichuan areas, and they use special curses and sacrifices to achieve their goals, and this secret art has always been very secretive and not known to outsiders. ”

Lu Peng didn't know anything about these at all, he didn't cultivate Taoism and didn't understand Taoism, if it weren't for the death case in the Jade Toad Palace, he might not have anything to do with Taoism in his life.

"I haven't heard of any secret techniques, I only know that there must be a motive for killing, no matter what means are used, he must have a reason to kill if he chooses to kill."

I agree with Lu Peng's point of view, as criminal policemen, we often have a lot of the same views on homicide cases.

"If the scene of the crime is not the scene of the crime, then there must be some kind of special connection between the two places."

"The festival will be held under the Yaoguang Pavilion of the Seven Star Pavilion, separated from the Sanqing Altar by the six pavilions of Kaiyang, Yuheng, Tianquan, Tianji, Tianxuan, and Tianshu, although these pavilions are scattered, I really can't think of any connection between them."

For a while, Li Mubai and Lu Peng both fell into deep thought.

"You guys can't figure it out, since the two witnesses said that there was a vision in Sanqingtan on the day of the crime, should we go to Sanqingtan to investigate?"

Li Mubai looked at Lu Peng, now that Li Mubai and I have special identities, and the Jade Toad Palace is still blocked, it should be impossible to investigate Sanqingtan openly.

"You're from the serious crime team, so there shouldn't be any problem in going to the Jade Toad Palace to investigate the case, right?"

Lu Peng's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, "This case was taken over by the First Municipal Bureau of Hainan, although I am from the serious crime team, but I am not in my position and do not seek politics, I am afraid it will be difficult to forcibly intervene." ”

Li Mubai and I glanced at each other, no wonder this guy would find us, it turned out that this case was not in his hands.

"I said Officer Li, you're making fun of the two of us, aren't you? The case is not in your hands, and you are still recruiting us? ”

"You can't say that, we are all righteous people, and I know that you came to Jade Toad Palace for a purpose."

Lu Peng is threatening us with this, he has investigated me and Li Mubai, and he must be very clear about Ren Yaoyao's case.

"What purpose can we have?" Li Mubai looked at Lu Peng with ice, and a trace of killing intent seemed to flash in the corner of his eyes for a moment.

"You have been investigating the murder of Ren Yaoyao in Changlin City, three days ago you went to the Lei Chi in Tangxi Ancient Town, and then flew directly to the Jade Toad Palace in Hainan. Lei Chi and Jade Toad Palace are related to one person, that is, the five ancestors of the Taoist Southern Sect, Bai Yu Toad, although the two murders are not connected, they are both related to the Jade Toad Palace, you are not familiar with the place of life in Hainan, if you want to investigate the Jade Toad Palace, you should need some assistance, you help me investigate the case of Taoist Hui Ling, I will help you check the Jade Toad Palace, it is a fair deal. ”

Lu Peng's request is also reasonable, now Li Mubai's friend Jiang Qi has mysteriously disappeared because of this murder, Li Mubai originally wanted to investigate this case, and we really need some assistance from Lu Peng if we want to investigate the Jade Toad Palace.

"Since you have gotten straight to the point, then we won't play dumb riddles with you, Ren Yaoyao's case is very complicated, judging from the clues we currently have, the Jade Toad Palace is very likely to be related to Ren Yaoyao's murder, and it's not impossible for you to help you." Li Mubai suddenly sold out.

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?" Lu Peng is refreshing, he knows very well that there will be gains and losses, and we will not help him if he doesn't give us some benefits.

"It's nothing, it's just that we have a special identity now, and we still need your identity as a serious crime team as a cover when investigating the case in the future."

"Yes." Lu Peng agreed.

"Refreshing, let me guess too, although the case of Taoist Huiling is not under the control of your serious crime team, the task of searching for Jiang Qi should be in your hands, right?"

Lu Peng nodded, Li Mubai's analytical ability is indeed very strong, although Lu Peng is not comparable, but as a member of the serious crime team, Lu Peng also has his own set of methods for analyzing the case.

"Lin Xuan, tell me what you think about this case."

I looked at Li Mubai's trusting eyes, as if I saw Du Group again.

"Since it is a homicide, it should still be based on the normal logic of homicide, we have already mastered the time and place of death of the deceased, but the cause of his death is still a mystery, and the forensic report should be issued soon, so we don't need to worry. The most critical thing at the moment should be to go to the scene of the crime to investigate the homicide, but the case was taken over by the Hainan No. 1 Municipal Bureau, and we can't do the crime scene investigation. So now the rest is the suspect investigation, Hui Ling's master Jiang Qi mysteriously disappeared at this time, his suspicion is obviously the greatest, but because his motive for the crime cannot be determined at present, he cannot be locked as the suspect, and the rest should start from the people around Hui Ling. As I spoke, I looked at Lu Peng.

"No problem, the murder is not under our control, but they need to let us know the progress."

Li Mubai cast an admiring look at me.

"As soon as the forensic report comes out, we can start the next step of the investigation."

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mubai went out alone to investigate Jiang Qi's traces, leaving me in the hotel to wait for Lu Peng's news, and at about 4:50, the Du group finally called, Ren Yaoyao's case has been closed by the Changlin City Bureau, and the criminal locked up Bi Quan of the Demon Management Bureau, but the Du group said that due to the leakage of the news, Bi Quan absconded in fear of the crime, and is still being pursued.

I briefly told the case of the Jade Toad Palace to the Du group, the analysis of the Du group is similar to ours, but he asked me if I would think the two cases are related, I don't know how to answer for a while, the two murders from the time, place and cause of death can not be seen to have any connection, the only thing they have in common is that they both died in the Taoist temple, and the death method is peculiar.
