Chu Cheng was not very happy.

Because she found that the sugar-free pastry she made for Lin Boqin was eaten by Gu Jingtong's cow chewing peonies.

Gu Jingtong held the pastry in his mouth and discussed with Lin Boqin: "In my opinion, as long as you catch that leprosy dog...... No, leprosy wolf, this case will be closed. ”

"I hope so."

Lu Hua is dead, but the "lung-eating dog" is still committing crimes.

Lin Boqin pondered, picked up the five-element prayer wheel, and shook it.

Gu Jingtong saw it and asked, "By the way, what is this thing called...... What wheel? ”

"Five Elements Prayer Wheel."

"Five elements?"

Gu Jingtong seemed to think of something, and he took out the two corpse boxes on the table, on which were written the eight characters of Xu Changqi's nephew and Aunt Liu's grandson's birthday.

Lin Boqin also stood up and browsed with him.

"Xu Yue'e's son was born on October 10 of the fifteenth year of Jianwu...... In the fifteenth year of the founding of the martial arts, the Year of the Rat, October, the time of the child...... Five lines of water. He paused for a moment, and then continued, "Aunt Liu's grandson, who was four years old when she died, was born on the twelfth day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Jianwu. Nineteen years is the Year of the Rabbit, and the first month of the Rabbit is ...... Five rows of wood! ”

Chu Cheng suddenly felt creepy, is this someone going to do it?

She was still a little unconvinced: "Maybe the water and the wood are a coincidence?" ”

Lin Boqin felt that it was very possible, he thought of the tantric sect that had no document, and turned his head to Gu Jingtong and said, "Check the birth date of the little girl just now, and report it to me immediately." ”

Gu Jingtong hurriedly turned around and went.

After a while, he ran over quickly, looking nervous and panting: "I've asked Uncle Cui, Nan Nan is six years old this year, born in April of the seventeenth year of Jianwu, Yinhu!" The five elements belong to fire! The case...... It's not easy! ”

"The murderer did not succeed, and it is estimated that he will continue to commit murder." Lin Boqin immediately called Hu Yu and instructed him to patrol overnight, and not relax for a moment until the real culprit was found.

Gu Jingtong said: "Lu Hua may just be a chess piece, although I don't know what role he plays with this chess piece...... I think we should search his house again, maybe something new will be found. ”

Lin Boqin immediately gathered people and went over with Gu Jingtong.

Chu Cheng also wanted to go together, but Lin Boqin stopped: "It's so late, you either go back or stay in the county office, and don't run around." Chu Cheng looked at him and didn't look like a joke, was silent for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "If you don't go, you won't go." ”

On the day Lu Hua's house was searched, Chu Cheng was also there, and it was still the five-element prayer wheel she found.

After searching all the time, no other information was found, and Chu Cheng felt that their trip was in vain.

She simply didn't bother to ask, and went home and slept with her head covered until dawn.

***

searched Lu Hua's house again, and indeed found nothing.

Following.

Yang La took Lu Hua's family members from Wangzhou Prefecture, and Lu Hua's wife and daughter read the suicide note and couldn't hold back their tears.

"Dad, why can't he think about it so much......"

Lu Ting raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and then helped her mother.

Gu Jingtong only asked: "As a wife and daughter, why don't you let Lu Hua live in the same city with you, but let him stay alone in Qingyuan County?" ”

Lu Ting only felt aggrieved, she wiped her tears and said: "The daughter of the people was wronged, and she had already let her father live with us before, but he had to move over, saying that he knew more friends in Qingyuan County." ”

At this time, Lu Hua's wife also sobbed: "My husband is an honest and responsible person, and he used to be a lay Taoist priest, he is very desperate for his life, and he usually does not leave his mouth, and he will even commit suicide in fear of sin......" Thinking of Lu Hua's suicide note, she cried even more.

"Are you sure the suicide note is Lu Hua's handwriting?"

"You can't go wrong." Lu Ting nodded, "My father writes the word 'zhi' and likes to elongate it, this is his handwriting." ”

Thinking of the conclusive evidence, Lu Ting couldn't help but feel sad: "How could Daddy kill someone, this is not something he can do at all......"

Gu Jingtong asked a lot more questions, but Lin Boqin was silent.

He has been studying the prayer wheel of the five elements all the time lately, and although he has not made much progress on tantra, he has found some doorways.

For example, a person who uses a prayer wheel must do so to eliminate his karma.

Lu Hua killed someone, and he definitely wanted to use this thing to overdo it.

It's just that for now, he can't find the motive for Lu Hua to kill the two children.

"Then do you know who Lu Hua usually interacts with more often?"

Lu Ting shook her head: "My lord, you don't know, my father is not in good health, and he usually doesn't like to go anywhere except to go to the pharmacy." If he really has any frequent contacts...... He often went to Jiang's to buy straw paper, but Jiang was also very honest and would never have anything to do with my father. ”

Lin Boqin didn't expect Lu Hua to be involved with the Jiang family again.

He suddenly noticed a strange place.

There are only two families in Qingyuan County who are selling straw paper, one is the Zhang family in East Street, and the other is the Jiang family in the root of the south wall. What's more, according to Jiang's words, she also sold it for a penny, and she once had a dispute with Lu Hua.

Because straw paper is a must-have that every household needs, Lin Boqin didn't think much about it when he first heard about it, and when he heard Lu Hua's family mention it again, he realized that something was wrong.

"When was the last time he went to Jiang's to buy straw paper?"

"About half a month ago, I came back to visit him in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I met him buying straw paper from Jiang's family." After Lu Ting answered, she said, "After buying straw paper, I accompanied him to the pharmacy to grab medicine, so I remember it very clearly." ”

Lin Boqin pressed this suspicion for a while, he pondered for a moment, and asked, "You said that your father is not in good health, what disease does he have?" ”

"Heart disease." Lu Hua's wife hurriedly raised her head and replied, "I was brought out of my mother's womb, my heart was beating like thunder all the time, my chest was tight and I was panting, and I had to drink a lot of medicine every day." ”

Lu Ting also nodded and said, "Because my father is not in good health, my mother and brother and I both wanted to come over to take care of him, but he refused." At that time, my mother also suspected that he had an outer room in Qingyuan County, but after checking for a long time, I found that he really liked to live alone, so I didn't ask...... Except for coming back for a reunion during the New Year's holidays, he is usually home alone. ”

Gu Jingtong suddenly asked at this time: "Does he worship Buddha?" ”

Lu Ting was stunned, shook her head and said, "There is only one statue of Guan Gong at home, and there is no Buddha statue. ”

It seems that Lu Hua concealed the tantric matter well, and he didn't even tell his family.

Lin Boqin was silent for a long time, and decided to detain Jiang for interrogation again.

Jiang didn't expect that he was summoned to the county government again, Xu Yue'e and Xu Changqi couldn't rest assured, so they hurriedly followed, standing outside the public court, and looking in through the fence.

Jiang Shi looked at the plaque hanging in Mingjing, she felt that this public hall was very majestic, and her figure couldn't help shrinking.

Lin Boqin asked her a few questions as usual, and although Jiang was afraid, he answered reasonably, as if she and Lu Hua were just a simple Gu-master relationship.

But Lin Boqin didn't believe it.

He snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "You once said that you had a dispute with Lu Hua because you overcharged him a penny, right?" ”

Jiang's voice was like a mosquito: "Lord Hui, this is indeed the case." Maybe it's because of this dispute that he poisoned my nephew......"

Lin Boqin looked at Jiang Shi sharply, and asked in a deep voice: "In that case, why did Lu Hua go to you to buy it?" I asked Lu Hua's family just now, and they said that around the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Hua also bought straw paper at your house, but you said that you had a dispute with him more than a month ago. How do you explain this to the official? ”

"This ......"

Jiang Shi was speechless for a while, and then she said: "Maybe it's because the quality of my straw paper is better than that of others, so he ......."

"Nonsense!"

Lin Boqin was shocked, his expression was cold and almost ruthless: "You and the Zhang family on West Street are both in the same place in the state city, how can there be a difference?" Are you so easy to fool as an official? ”

Jiang's face turned pale and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain.

Gu Jingtong knew that Lin Boqin would not be tortured, but in this situation, torture was obviously the best way to interrogate.

He immediately pointed at the Jiang family and said, "Jiang family, are you recruiting or not?" ”

Jiang Shi looked aggrieved and stretched his voice: "My lord, the folk woman is wronged, the folk woman really has nothing to do with Lu Hua!" ”

"Under the big punishment, you won't be punished! Come on, put a stick on the Jiang family first! ”

Gu Jingtong glanced at the left and right, and the left and right were about to get the torture tools.

Lin Boqin frowned, he rarely used torture to extract confessions, and was about to stop it, when he heard Xu Changqi in the court say loudly: "My lord, stop being angry!" Adults are angry! Neiko has a disease in both hands, and he can't clamp a stick! I can't get on it! Xu Yue'e was also busy: "Yes, my sister-in-law had paralysis when she was a child and left her with old diseases. The bones of her hands are in unbearable pain all year round, and if she clamps her fingers with a clamping stick, she is afraid that both hands will be wasted! I hope adults will think twice! ”

"Paralysis?"

Lin Boqin suddenly thought of something, he stood up, walked down the court, and condescendingly shouted to Jiang: "Take out your hands!" ”

Jiang Shi was shocked by his momentum, and he didn't dare to look at the official uniform on his body at all, so he put his hands in his sleeves and didn't move.

Gu Jingtong also found something suspicious, and he even had a bold guess.

Lin Boqin coldly threatened: "Jiang Shi, if you don't take out your hand, I will really torture you!" ”

Jiang's hands were clenched, sweat was dripping, and she trembled for a long time before slowly reaching out her hand.

A pair of hands that look slightly rough, with neatly trimmed nails, nothing special.

Lin Boqin didn't want to see her hands.

He just wanted to confirm one of his guesses.

He took out the five-element prayer wheel from his arms and said coldly: "You should recognize this thing?" ”

When Jiang Shi saw the prayer wheel, it seemed that the blood all over her body had coagulated, her pupils shrank, and she hurriedly said: "I don't know, I don't know this thing!" ”

"Really? I thought that every time you killed someone, you would use this object to chant sutras and wash away your karma! After Lin Boqin finished speaking, he raised his hand and threw the prayer wheel in front of Jiang.

Jiang screamed in fright and retreated again and again.

The bloody scenes that came to her mind came like a tide in an instant, her heart stopped beating, her breathing became extremely rapid, she looked at the prayer wheel like a flood beast, covered her eyes and shouted: "It's none of my business, it's not my business!" I didn't kill anyone, it's all Lu Hua...... Lu Hua did it alone! ”
