Chapter 54: Shadow Graphics
Back in the Buddhist hall, Lin Yun'er changed her clothes and shoes, knelt down and sat down under the porch, the breeze was gentle, but she was in her own contemplation.
In Jade's eyes, Lin Yun'er's move is indeed too much to meddle in, but in the deep fear in her heart, she really doesn't want to step into that cage for half a step, marriage is the grave of life, although there are many exceptions, but she is already desperate.
Moreover, she is not as skilled as Mu Ling, she is just an ordinary boudoir woman who can no longer be ordinary, and no matter how much she makes a difference, she will eventually marry another woman, she definitely doesn't want to do this. The road, she has to go by herself!
Thinking of this, she ordered Ziwei to study the ink, she picked up the pen, dipped it in the ink, and raised her hand to draw an outline on the table.
This silhouette is delicate but wild, wild but uninhibited. It's just that, for a long time, she didn't know how to write.
"Lady, what are you drawing?" While grinding, Ziwei poked her head out and asked curiously, "Like a little monk." ”
Lin Yun'er smiled lightly, "Yes, this person is a monk, but he is a very unusual monk." ”
Ziwei covered her mouth and smiled, "What is the lady doing to draw a monk?" ”
Lin Yun'er put down her pen, yes, what do you do to draw a monk? At present, those who live in Jifu Temple, in addition to monks, there are also Pingxi Wangye and his party, Pingxi Wangye's subordinates are all masters of martial arts, even Long Wuke can't beat them, and they have a very powerful crossbow arrow in their hands, Pingxi Wangye is a person who is very deep in the city, and there is also a misty Xie Lin in the Zen Temple, there are doubts everywhere, but why did she subconsciously draw a monk out, is it difficult, the real murderer is really a monk.
Lin Yun'er sneered, she relied on her sixth sense to solve the case, and she was the only one.
Immediately, she took out two more pieces of paper, one of which drew the appearance of the prince of Pingxi, and the other of which drew Xie Lin.
Ziwei pointed to one of the pieces of paper and said, "Lady, why does this person look so gloomy." ”
Gloomy? If there is really any word to describe the prince of Pingxi, Lin Yun'er thought, it should be the yin owl, she smiled, "The prince of Pingxi went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and his subordinates can hold the souls of countless people, and it is strange if he is not a yin owl." ”
Ziwei's shoulders shook when she heard this, and she knew that Lin Yun'er was painting the famous living Hades, she trembled her frightened white lips, and said tremblingly, "Lady, the maid just talked nonsense." ”
Lin Yun'er glanced at her and said, "Breath." ”
Immediately, she spread the three paintings on the table, one is a portrait of a monk with no facial features, one is a portrait of Helianqiu, the prince of Pingxi, and the other is a portrait of Xie Lin.
After looking at it for a while, she picked up a new piece of paper, drawing the abbot's room and the teacher's meditation room of the monk Yunyi, and suddenly she found that the common feature between the two is that they are extremely neat, not to mention whether the murderer is the same person, just looking at the scene shows that he is extremely familiar with both places, and is familiar with the abbot and the master, and it is easy to say that he is familiar with the abbot, but why is he familiar with the master?
Linghui Master is too deep and shallow, and only leaves the Buddha Hall when he goes up the mountain to collect medicine, how can there be a monk who is so familiar with Linghui Master's meditation room? Moreover, there is a lot of dust on the west window of the meditation room, and there is no trace of anyone entering or leaving, and the door of the meditation room is locked.
There is no denying that Shitai did have the intention of committing suicide, but Mu Ling's autopsy did confirm that Shitai was killed by him. All this seems contradictory but reasonable, and she really can't figure it out.
After thinking for a while, she gently put down her pen and wrote a few words on the paper, "He killed", "Anti-lock", "West Window", "Secluded Path", "Zishi". For now, these are all the clues she has. And with so many clues, she can only deduce a general outline, that is, the murderer and Shi Tai know each other and often correspond.
Looking at Shitai's body size, it is almost the same as jadeite, and the average little girl should not be able to easily hang it without the help of external force, so it should be a man or a woman who can kill Shitai from behind and hang it on the beam. And there is no woman who knows martial arts on the mountain, so it should be a man, if he really escaped from the west window, then his martial arts are indeed not low.
She wrote down all the doubts she knew, and then stared at the words in a daze. This is her limit, if she thinks about it again, she is gone. She sighed softly, did she stop like this?
"Well, the analysis is extremely reasonable." At some point, a hoarse sound came from above her head, causing her to jump.
She looked up indignantly, but met Mu Ling's deep eyes and the charm at the corner of her mouth, she bowed her head shallowly, a few strands of silver hair floated on the tip of her nose, exuding a faint medicinal fragrance, Mu Ling pointed to the words on the paper and said, "Well, the words are well written, and there is everyone's demeanor." She looked up at Huang Yu, "Aya, it seems that the little sister didn't stay in the Buddha Hall for nothing." ”
Huang Yu sat down at this time, nodded in agreement, "Indeed, this word is comparable to everyone." ”
Lin Yun'er's face turned red, and she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Father has won the award." ”
Mu Ling sat down next to him with a smile, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully, "Judging from the current situation, this analysis is extremely correct, but," Mu Ling handed the paper to Huang Yu, "Linghui Master had already started a hunger strike before he died, why is this?" ”
She picked up a few portraits on the table and praised it, "Well, the kung fu of this shadow and graphic is much better than that of Dali Temple, and those so-called Danqing masters only have their souls and no shapes. ”
Lin Yun'er smiled bitterly, as a woman in the world who calls herself a foolish brother, I am afraid that only Mu Ling will not make people feel strange, she looked at Huang Yu's expression, I am afraid that she has long been accustomed to it, for this righteous girl, he is afraid that he will really treat him as a man to educate.
"Is Ling laughing at me?" Lin Yuner said.
Mu Ling said, "How dare the foolish brother laugh at the eldest lady of the Huang family? It's just that Xiaomei is suspicious of these three people? ”
Lin Yun'er nodded, then slowly stretched out her hand, pointed to the portrait of King Pingxi and said, "If you want to prioritize, then he is my first doubter, the second doubter is the monk of Jifu Temple, and the third, he is him." ”
"Have you seen it?" Huang Yu said.
Lin Yun'er also did not hide her selfishness, and told the truth about the discovery of the path today and the discussion with Xie Lin.
Mu Ling laughed at this time, "I said how can this kid be so well-informed, it turned out to be you." Just now, Aya and I also passed by the temple, and by the way, we went in and asked him for a cup of tea. ”
Huang Yu bowed his head, "It is worthy of being a descendant of the Xie family." He put down the portrait in his hand, "In just a few words, he got to the point of the problem." ”
"What?"
"Motivation." Huang Yu said, "Why did the murderer kill Shitai, and why did he kill Monk Yunyi. ”
"Father, Master Yun Yan, and Master Linghui were killed by the same person?" Lin Yun'er was puzzled, although the scene was somewhat similar, but the killing methods were worlds apart, in later generations, she had seen some cases of related serial murders in some of Chen Jing's cases, the so-called serial killings, the killing methods were similar or even the same, and even the objects of killing were similar, and Master Yun Yan and Master Linghui were obviously two completely different people.
Huang Yu bowed, "Yes, no." ”
"What does my father mean by that?"
Huang Yu stroked his beard, which had not been shaved for a long time, and said, "If you instruct someone to kill, then there are thousands of ways to kill someone, so the motive is the only thing they have in common. ”
"What is the motive?" Lin Yuner said.
Mu Ling sneered, "If the motive is known immediately, wouldn't the case be solved?" Little sister, think about it again. As she spoke, she pointed to her head.
Lin Yun'er puffed out her cheeks and was deflated, she really hadn't thought deeply, it had already taken most of her energy to analyze such clues, and she couldn't think of anything more.
Huang Yu looked at Lin Yun'er's expression and said with relief, "Yun'er has improved a lot, you were not so smart as a sister at the beginning. ”
Mu Ling smiled, "That's natural, it's not my father's teaching, and the child only knows about autopsy." ”
Huang Yu also ignored Mu Ling's hippie smile, but said, "Wan'er, you live next to Master Linghui, have you ever paid attention to what Master Linghui does on weekdays?" ”
Lin Wan'er said, "At the end of every day, the master will clean the Buddhist hall up and down and then put on incense, and after lunch, he will do some chores, or sprinkle or dry medicine or laundry or study medical books or call his children to talk about Zen, and after dinner, he will meditate in the meditation room and go to sleep. Except for the day of collecting medicine and the day of incense on the 15th day of the first month of each month, the rest are like this every day. ”
"But what's the most strange behavior?" Huang Yu then asked.
Lin Yun'er shook her head, "Probably not." She turned to Ziwei, who was sitting on the sidelines, and asked, "Ziwei, what do you say?" ”
Ziwei said, "What the lady said is right, but she missed one thing." She paused, "Have you ever remembered that on the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to offering incense in the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Shi will also offer incense in the meditation room?" ”
Lin Yun'er immediately suddenly, "I thought of it, Mrs. Shi will insert a stick of incense on the incense table in the meditation room every fifteenth day of the new year." It's just that there is no offering on the incense table. ”
Mu Ling frowned and said, "Indeed, there are no objects on the incense table except for a string of Buddhist beads and an incense burner. ”
Huang Yu got up smoothly, "Let's go and take a look." ”
The Qianniu guards had been guarding the front yard hall and the door of Shitai's meditation room, as if they had not left an inch, until Huang Yu went forward, they only saluted and did not speak. After Huang Yu nodded to them, he opened the door of the meditation room and walked in.
Because the west window has not been closed, so that as soon as the Zen door is opened, they are greeted by a gust of wind with bamboo incense, the three of them walked to the front of the incense case, but saw an incense burner placed in the middle of the incense case, the incense burner is surrounded by a circle of fine incense ash, and there is a string of Buddha beads lying in the incense ash, the size of a thumb, a total of eighteen.
