Chapter 63
In Lu Hua's house, he almost dug into the ground and searched, but he didn't find any useful clues.
Chu Cheng glanced at the corpse on the ground, and there was some silence along the way.
She walked behind, and Gu Jingtong and Lin Boqin were discussing what the cylindrical thing was, but they didn't discuss why.
Chu Cheng didn't hear it, but she was secretly thinking of a way in her heart.
She felt that the appearance of this thing was still very important, and maybe it would help Lin Boqin and them solve the case.
Lin Boqin saw that she was quiet all the way, thinking of her hangover last night, he couldn't help but pause, turned around and frowned and asked, "Are you feeling well today?" ”
Chu Cheng was stunned, of course, he went down the steps, nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's because I saw a dead man...... I'll go back first. ”
Lin Boqin said "um" and motioned for Hu Yu to send her.
Chu Cheng waved her hand again and again: "No need, no need, Hu Zhutou still has something to do for you, how can I trouble others, it is more important to investigate the case." Besides, in broad daylight, nothing will happen. She kept refusing, but Lin Boqin couldn't tell her, so he told her to be careful, and then went to the county government with Gu Jing.
Gu Jingtong saw that the relationship between the two had eased, and asked jokingly: "When you went back yesterday, I am afraid that the basket of glutinous rice cakes has played a role." ”
Lin Boqin thought of Chu Cheng, who was drunk and prodigal last night, and his heart jumped slightly, but he didn't answer.
When Gu Jingtong saw this, he didn't want to ask again.
Returning to the county office with Lu Hua's body, after Xue Yao's inspection, he found that he had indeed died of severe poison, but he had never seen any poison.
Lin Boqin read Lu Hua's suicide note several times again, and while comparing it with Lu Hua's previous handwriting, he asked people to summon Aunt Liu, Xu Changqi and others.
Determining that the suicide note was written by Lu Hua himself, he fell into deep thought.
Aunt Liu, Xu Changqi, and Xu Yue'e arrived one after another, and the three of them knelt on the ground and asked if they had caught the lung-eating dog. Lin Boqin avoided talking about it, but asked: "What did Lu Hua have with you in the past?" ”
"Lu Hua?"
Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, shook her head with red eyes: "Who is this person?" I don't know? ”
Gu Jingtong was stunned, and couldn't help asking: "How is it possible?" Didn't you have a holiday with him? If you think about it, have you ever quarreled with anyone when buying and selling pastries? ”
Aunt Liu racked her brains and couldn't think of it, so she only said: "I have a bad memory, and my ears are back, and sometimes I sell pastries because I will quarrel with people when I collect cash, but ...... But wouldn't it be too vicious to harm my grandchildren because of these little things? Lin Boqin knew what to expect, turned his head and asked Xu Changqi again.
Xu Changqi is a good man, he shook his head again and again: "The relationship between the neighbors and the neighbors is very good with me, and I have no intersection with this Luhua at all." ”
At this moment, Xu Yue'e suddenly remembered, she said: "Master Lin, I have seen this Lu Hua before, he seems to often buy straw paper from my sister-in-law." ”
"Your sister-in-law?"
Xu Changqi hurriedly said: "It's the inner son of the grass people, Jiang's family." ”
Xu Yue'e said: "Isn't it tall and thin, like a scribe?" ”
"Not bad." Gu Jingtong and Lin Boqin glanced at each other, and then asked, "He is very familiar with the Jiang family?" ”
Xu Yue'e shook her head: "I don't know about this, but occasionally when I go to my sister-in-law's store, I see her talking to Lu Hua." Naluhua...... Is it my son's murderer? Is it because my sister-in-law had a holiday with him, he ...... Just ......" Xu Yue'e couldn't go on, thinking of her son's tragic situation, she raised her sleeves and couldn't stop wiping her tears.
Lin Boqin immediately glanced at Hu Yu and asked him to detain Jiang.
***
Chu Ji remembered the things found in Lu Hua's house.
She thought for a while, then turned around and went to Li Zhongyi's house at the root of the north wall.
Su Yu is not there.
Listening to the servants of the Li family, he and Xie Tongtong went to other streets to bow.
Chu Cheng searched street by street, and it was almost dusk, but she saw Xie Tongtong standing alone at the back door of Fushou Street, stretching her neck.
"Tongtong!" Chu Cheng stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "What are you doing standing here?" ”
Xie Tongtong saw that it was her, and hurriedly showed a smile, and pointed to the wall that was not too high: "The rattan ball fell into someone else's yard, Brother Su Yu turned it in and picked it up, and it hasn't come out yet." ”
Chu Cheng subconsciously looked at it, only to see a ridge in the wall, and in the twilight, the shadows and shadows looked a little infiltrating.
"How long has he been in?"
Chu Cheng thought of the recent case of the lung-eating dog, and her heart beat like thunder.
Xie Tongtong frowned and said, "It's been a while......"
Chu Cheng had a bad premonition, she didn't have time to think about it, so she raised her foot and kicked the door and shouted: "Su Yu! Su Yu! Are you okay Su Yu!? ”
No one answered, and no one opened the door.
Xie Tongtong also panicked, thinking that something was wrong, and hurriedly kicked the door with Chu Hui, just at the stall where Chu Cheng was anxiously preparing to climb over the wall, the back door was opened with a "squeak", Su Yu held the rattan ball, and stood there with Hong Po, looking uncertain.
Su Yu blinked: "Madam, why are you here?" Tongtong, what are you doing here, how are you ......?"
"Why kick my door, you guys!"
Hong Po looked at the door that had just been painted, and it was all footprints that were kicked, and she was angry, and pointed at Chu Hui: "The little girl who looks like she is smart, why can she take a child to do such a thing?" Are you trying to steal or are you trying to intimidate me, an old woman? ”
Chu Shen had never seen Hong Po, and Hong Po didn't know Chu She.
Hong Po crossed her waist and shouted that the neighbors all opened the door to see, and she said to Chu Cheng angrily: "Little girl, I know someone in the yamen!" Yang La, you know, right? Those little eyes have a good relationship with me! ”
Chu Cheng was stunned, feeling that Yang La's eyes were not small, and it was Hu Yu who had small eyes.
Seeing this, Su Yu hurriedly came out to explain: "Granny Hong, misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, don't be angry." This is the wife of the prefectural magistrate, and she is worried about my safety, so she will kick the door of your house. Immediately, he explained to Chu Hui, "Madam, you have also misunderstood, Granny Hong is very good, we have no place to play Keju, only Granny Hong is willing to let us play at the corner of her house." Just now, I accidentally kicked the ball to Granny Hong's house, and I searched for a long time to find it. ”
Chu Cheng knew that it was a misunderstanding, and it was not good to deal with an old man.
What's more, this old man can't even tell the difference between Hu Yu and Yang La.
She apologized to Hong Po, and Hong Po was not unforgiving, so she preached and closed the door.
An oolong thing, Chu Cheng herself thought it was funny.
She sent Xie Tongtong home first, but did not send Su Yu back, but bent down solemnly and whispered in his ear. Su Yu nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
"Don't say it's a leak, just say you've seen it in a book before."
Su Yu frowned and said, "But Lord Lin will definitely doubt me, how could I know that they found this thing." ”
"That's what I said......"
Chu Cheng touched her chin and said, "That's okay, you just say that I will chat with Xie Luoying and them, and then mention this matter, you will confirm it." ”
Although this statement is also far-fetched, Su Yuwei Chuhui's words are true, and he doesn't think much about it at the moment, and rushes to the county office.
Lin Boqin and the others didn't expect that before the Jiang family arrived, Su Yu came.
As soon as he came, he said, "Lord Lin, I know what you found from Lu Hua's house, it is the five-element prayer wheel used for tantric chanting!" ”
Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this, led Su Yu to the back hall, and took out the bronze cylinder.
Su Yu saw that this thing was the same as Chu Cheng's description, so he reached out and took it, and said seriously: "My lord, look, this prayer wheel can be rotated, and what is engraved on it is gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is a five-element prayer wheel. The role of this thing in Tibetan Tantra is known for purifying negative karma and accumulating merits. Anyone who uses the prayer wheel is blessed by the Dharma Protectors of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Ten Directions, and at the same time, they can also purify the five sins and the ten negative karma, purify this samsara, and be reborn in the Pure Land when they die. ”
Lin Boqin didn't expect Su Yu to know about this kind of thing, he was very puzzled and asked, "Where did you know?" ”
Su Yu had already memorized the words he had memorized, and replied kindly: "I have seen an atlas in a certain book before, but I have forgotten what it is." ”
Even though Lin Boqin was suspicious, he couldn't find a point to suspect.
He thought that although he was well-read, he was not as well-informed as a child, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, and planned to go home and read at night.
"What are you talking about...... Tibetan Tantra, what is it? ”
Su Yu let out a "uh" sound, not knowing how to answer.
Chu Cheng only told him that it was the five-element prayer wheel, which was used by Tantra to chant sutras, and as for what Tantra was and what Tubo was, he was confused.
Fortunately, he is talented and intelligent, and he lies one by one: "I don't remember this, maybe adults will find the answer if they flip through the books more." ”
Of course, Lin Boqin would not pin his hopes on a child, knowing that this bronze thing is called the Five Elements Prayer Wheel, and he must be able to find something deeper if he finds relevant literature.
At this time, Gu Jingtong reported to the outside: "Peizhi, the Jiang family has arrived." ”
Lin Boqin nodded, motioned for Su Yu to wait in the back hall, and went to the public court.
Jiang Shi wore a white-washed kudzu coat and looked a little embarrassed. She fell to the ground, her hands trembling, and when she saw Lin Boqin, she whispered, "I don't know what the adults have to ask about the people's women?" ”
"How much do you know about Lu Hua?"
Jiang shook his head vigorously: "Lu Hua bought straw paper from me, I don't know him well." She said this and glanced at Xu Changqi, "Besides, my husband doesn't love me and has too much contact with the man next to him, except that I know that he used to be a slave and lived on Dongping Street, I don't know anything." ”
"Really?"
"The women of the people will never dare to deceive the adults." Jiang Shi paused in his tone, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked guilty on his face, "But before, he had a dispute with me because I sold him straw paper for a penny...... But I returned the money to him, but I didn't expect him to be ruthless, and he actually asked my nephew for revenge. ”
When Xu Yue'e heard this, she cried "wow".
Xu Changqi also stomped his feet angrily: "It turns out that you really had a holiday with him!" I tell you not to collect money indiscriminately, you don't believe it, it's okay now, because for a penny, your nephew's life is all in it! ”
Jiang didn't dare to reply, only lay on the ground and cried regretfully.
Lin Boqin frowned.
He asked, "When did you have a dispute with Lu Hua?" ”
Jiang Shi hesitated: "It's probably more than a month......
"He held a grudge for more than a month?"
"I'm afraid he's been carefully planning to take my nephew's life during this time." Thinking of the tragic death of the child, Jiang's tears fell down in big pieces, and he cried to Xu Yue, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Xu Yue'e held back her tears and waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, I don't blame you. ”
Seeing this, Gu Jingtong sighed, stepped forward, bent down and sighed to Lin Boqin: "Lu Hua killed people for the holidays, and he explained it clearly in his suicide note. and Aunt Liu and Jiang's family, all because of business problems...... In my opinion, this case can be closed. ”
Lin Boqin lowered his eyes, looked at the shiny prayer wheel that he had touched in his hand, and did not speak.
