Chapter 64
After thinking about it repeatedly, Lin Boqin did not close the case.
He withdrew for a while, which made everyone not quite understand.
Xu Yue, Xu Changqi, and Aunt Liu surrounded Gu Jingtong and asked nonchalantly: "Lord County, isn't the real murderer Lu Hua?" "yes, why haven't you closed the case yet?" "My child is not buried, but he wants to see his murderer so that he can be blinded!"
"Okay, okay, you listen to the official." Gu Jingtong motioned for them to be quiet for a moment, although he didn't know why, he always had to face Lin Boqin, "Lu Hua is dead, there is no proof of death, this needs to be further checked." On the one hand, it is to give an account to your deceased relatives, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to let the murderer get the punishment he deserves. ”
His words sounded high-sounding, and stunned a few people who hadn't read much.
After finally appeasing and sending people away, Gu Jingtong wiped his sweat and went to Lin Boqin to ask for an explanation.
Lin Boqin was asking Su Yu about other things.
Although Su Yu is smart, he is just a child in the end, and he can't speak in the end.
Lin Boqin felt more and more strange, and he was about to continue to ask, but saw Gu Jingtong walking in with a fan vigorously: "Peizhi, what's the matter with you?" Do you think the case is still undecided? ”
"Not bad."
Lin Boqin took out the prayer wheel and explained it to Gu Jingtong.
Gu Jingtong didn't care, he said, "Even so, so what? This thing...... Maybe it's the Dharma that Lu Hua does every time he kills someone in order to eliminate his karma. ”
"You and I have dealt with Lu Hua, and it can be seen from his speech that he is not a rude, arrogant and impulsive person, and he is even somewhat benevolent and rational." Lin Boqin's eyes darkened, "Such a person, because of a penny? Because buying pastries? Just kill other people's children, is it reasonable? ”
Gu Jingtong was reminded by him, and he also felt that it was not right.
But he frowned and retorted: "You have also seen Lu Hua's suicide note, it was written by him himself, otherwise Yang La will bring his family later, you will ask again?" ”
"When will Yang La come back?"
"He set off for Wangzhou City yesterday, and it is estimated that he will arrive tomorrow morning." Lu Hua lives alone in Qingyuan County, and his children and wife all live in the state city.
Lin Boqin nodded, asked him to send Su Yu back first, and then took a stack of books on Buddhism from the bookshelf and began to look through them.
There are very few records of Tantra in these documents, and seeing that the sky is dark, Lin Boqin learned that the news is only that Tantra was transmitted in Tibet, and it had flowed into the royal family of the Central Plains a hundred years ago, and was later banned.
A few words will not help solve the case at all.
Lin Boqin rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, he got up and lit the lamps and candles in the room, and at this moment, he heard some noise outside the door.
When he opened the door, he saw Chu Cheng carrying a few food boxes, distributing pastries to Hu Yu, Gu Jing and others, Hu Yu and the other servants couldn't see the smiles of their eyes, and shouted "Delicious, delicious".
"I didn't do it this time, it was Luo Ying who did it."
Chu Cheng smiled and said, "She made it delicious." ”
Hu Yu held the pastry, turned his head and said, "Whether it is made by Mrs. or Miss Xie, you can just think about us." ”
"You're really good at making up your mind." Chu Cheng snorted at him.
It just so happened that Gu Jingtong went to get water to drink, and saw Lin Boqin standing at the door with a serious face, stunned, and stood up slightly straight: "Peizhi is here, I want to eat some ......" He remembered that Lin Boqin never eats sweet, so he changed at the end of the conversation, "Do you want to drink some water?" ”
It is impossible for Lin Boqin to be angry because Chu brought pastries to reward the people of the county Yali.
He frowned and said, "No need. ”
After speaking, Lin Boqin was about to turn around and enter the house. Seeing this, Chu Ji hurriedly stood up and called him, but Lin Boqin didn't hear it.
Chu Cheng stomped her foot, bent down to lift a small box at her feet, pushed the door and chased in.
Lin Boqin only entered the house with his front foot, and Chu Cheng followed him with his back foot, he turned his head to see that it was her, and he was a little stunned: "The case of the lung-eating dog has not been solved yet, don't run around when it's dark." ”
"When I come to the county office, will I also meet lung-eating dogs?" Chu Cheng pursed her lips, "Besides, am I so unlucky?" ”
Lin Boqin didn't want to talk about her.
He sat down next to the bookcase and continued to flip through the Buddhist books that he had just finished reading.
Chu Cheng stepped forward with the box and took a look at it, and found that all the records were scriptures, she frowned, and asked, "What are you looking at these for?" It's too obscure. ”
Lin Boqin pondered for a moment, and finally told her about Su Yu coming to him today.
After speaking, he looked at Chu Yu, his sword eyebrows raised, and his eyes examined: "You and Su Yu are close, what suspicious people has he been in contact with recently, do you know?" Chu Hui's heart jumped, and her face was as usual: "No...... You don't know, Su Yu likes to read books very much, he doesn't have to run around for a living now, he doesn't have to drive, he just wants to be a showman and dance and write. ”
Chu Cheng lied to Su Yu vigorously: "I guess he knows about this prayer wheel, and he read it in a certain book." ”
"But the matter of Tibetan Tantra was banned when Yuan Gaozong succeeded to the throne, and no one among the civil bureaucrats was allowed to learn Tantra again. All the relevant scriptures were collected and burned by Yuan Gaozong...... Where did Su Yu see it? Lin Boqin thinks that he has read poetry and books, whether it is wild history and miscellaneous records, or Taoism and Confucianism, but there is a blank about Tantra.
“…… I don't know. ”
Chu Cheng didn't expect Lin Boqin to start tracking down the Tibetan Tantra.
This incident is a royal scandal, and the Tibetan Tantra was very prosperous in the royal family during the Yuan Taizu period. Yuan Taizu's health in his later years was not as good as day by day, so he began to pursue immortality, and the Taoist pill was ineffective, just when the Tibetan master came to China to preach, he began to take the pill provided by the Tibetan master, five nectar. The Tibetan master said that this five manna has the miraculous effect of resurrecting the dead and rejuvenating the elderly, and Yuan Taizu took it every day, when he was really radiant and energetic, he believed in the words of the Tibetan master.
At that time, there was also a wave of practice tantra among the emperor's relatives and relatives, except for Yuan Gaozong.
Gaozong was the crown prince at that time, and he didn't believe it at all, so he was suppressed by the Tubo master, who also gave Taizu advice and deprived Gaozong of the crown prince.
Soon after, Taizu ran out of oil and died of illness in the forty-eighth year of Anye. As soon as Gao Zongfu succeeded to the throne, he beheaded the Tibetan master and ordered that no one in the world should be allowed to study Tantra again, not even Tantric scriptures.
Chu Cheng was able to know this because she had secretly read the internal documents of the royal family.
However, there is no record of how the five manna were developed and how the Tibetan master cast spells on Emperor Taizu.
She was afraid that Lin Boqin would continue to ask, so she hurriedly diverted the topic: "By the way, do you think this case is related to Tantra?" ”
Lin Boqin looked at the bronze prayer wheel on the table: "Lu Hua died in fear of sin, the cause was a quarrel with Aunt Liu and the Jiang family. But because of such a trivial matter, it is unreasonable to kill the children and grandchildren of the family. Quite possibly...... It was Lu Hua who brutally killed the two children in order to practice tantric Buddhism. ”
"Everyone else is dead, what is the benefit of practicing Tantra?" Chu Cheng felt that it was impossible, could it be that Lu Hua also knew Tantra and still wanted to practice immortality? But even if you practice immortality, what does it have to do with children......
At this moment, Gu Jingtong outside said loudly: "Peizhi!" Come out of here! ”
Lin Boqin hurriedly got up and went, and Chu Cheng glanced at the box she was carrying, which was a sugar-free pastry she specially made for Lin Boqin.
After struggling for a while, Chu Cheng put down the box and followed.
Outside the county office, an old man hugged a little girl and cried miserably, Chu Cheng subconsciously wanted to go to Xue Yao to conduct an autopsy, but saw that the little girl suddenly cried.
Lin Boqin hurriedly stepped forward to appease, and Chu Ji also followed, touching his little daughter's hair, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what's wrong?" ”
The little girl's heartstrings loosened when she saw that it was a beautiful older sister, and she raised her arm tremblingly, and there were two piercing tooth marks on it: "Pneumophore...... The lung-eating dog almost dragged me away and ate me. ”
Hu Yu came with a doctor at this time and immediately treated the little girl's wounds.
Only then did the old man stand up and cry to the crowd, "Please call the shots!" My family was almost eaten by a lung-eating dog! ”
Lu Hua is dead, but the lung-eating dog case is still happening.
The faces of the people were very solemn.
"Tell me more about it, what's going on?"
"Caomin's surname is Cui, this is my family. She was playing shuttlecock in the yard, but accidentally flew outside the house, so she went to pick it up alone...... Then he was bitten on the arm by a lung-eating dog that suddenly came out! Old man Cui still had palpitations when he said, "Fortunately, I didn't sleep, I reacted quickly, rushed out with a hoe, knocked out the dog's teeth, and it let go of my family." ”
Lin Boqin frowned and asked, "Are the dog's eyes blue?" ”
Old man Cui thought about it, and then the chick pecked the rice and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, there is still a ghostly light!" When he said this, he hurriedly took out a fangs from his bosom and handed it to Lin Boqin, "Look, my lord, this is a dog's tooth knocked down by a grass man with a hoe." ”
These teeth are very sharp, and when you hold them in your hands, you feel cold.
At this time, Xue Yao also rushed over to conduct an autopsy, and he, like Chu Hui, thought that they were all dead. However, when I got closer, I found that the little girl was only attacked, not dead.
He saw the tooth in Lin Boqin's hand and wondered, "What is the Lord doing with a wolf tooth?" ”
"Wolf fangs?"
Everyone was stunned.
Xue Yao's family used to be a hunter, and no one would doubt what he said. He took the teeth, took them in his hand and looked at them carefully, and said: "It is indeed a wolf's tooth, the root of the tooth is deep and yellow, the dog's tooth is relatively shallow, and the dog's tooth is generally not so long." ”
Gu Jingtong touched his chin and asked, "The rumored lung-eating dog is actually a wolf?" ”
"It's just a wolf that eats its hands, and it has to dig out its heart and lungs? I'm afraid it's a wolf. Of course, Chu Cheng didn't believe in lung-eating dogs and lung-eating wolves, she felt that this was artificial.
In addition, the prayer wheel found in Lu Hua's house before was linked to Tantra...... Lu Hua may have killed someone, but he was not the only murderer, otherwise there would not have been tonight's incident.
She took the opportunity to look at Lin Boqin, Lin Boqin frowned, and it seemed that the two of them had the same idea.
Lin Boqin asked again: "Uncle Cui, do you know Xu Yue'e and Aunt Liu?" Do you have friends in common? ”
Uncle Cui was stunned, and then shook his head: "This ...... I've heard their names, but I'm not familiar with them. As for mutual friends, it is even less known. ”
Lin Boqin was not surprised by this result, but he was still a little disappointed.
His eyes were silent, and his heart was heavy.
