What?

Luo Million's words surprised everyone.

"In other words......" Zhao Yu took the lead in speculating, "At that time, the iron coffin was not filled with dead people, but living people?" It's impossible for a dead person to defecate anymore, right? ”

"Of course," Luo Million said, "if there is a dead man inside, then why should the murderer come to rob it?" ”

"It's also ......" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "Killing 37 people, just to grab a corpse, it's really unreasonable!" ”

"The Living...... Lying in an iron coffin? Qiu Xianling's eyes lit up, and he guessed, "Could it be ...... This iron coffin is not a coffin, but a ...... Tumbrils!!? ”

"Yes," Zhao Yu immediately agreed, "In this way, everything makes sense!" The murderer killed in order to retrieve the prisoner in the iron coffin, but ...... But ......"

After only saying two words, Zhao Yu couldn't go on!

At the same moment, the discussion of others also came to an abrupt end.

Because, everyone thinks of an important question:

What kind of people would use iron coffins as prisoner cars?

First of all, the prisoner cart has a fixed range of use, and only the government will use it!

However, the government has special prisoner vans to transport prisoners, and they are all escorted by officers and soldiers.

If this coffin was really used to escort prisoners, then there was only one possibility - to hide people's eyes and ears!

Or, the prisoners who are being escorted are not visible to outsiders.

Or, the people who escorted the prisoners could not see the light, for fear of being known by the government!

But in this way, a more important question will arise, even if the iron coffin is really a prisoner car, then wouldn't it be more convenient to use an ordinary coffin, why use an extremely heavy iron coffin?

Therefore, the theory that the iron coffin is a prisoner car is simply untenable.

"You want me to see ......" At this time, Yao Jin, the master who had not spoken, said, "The 37 people who died are all young and middle-aged, and there are hidden mysteries in the iron coffin, this situation is very similar to walking a dark dart!" ”

"Huh?"

Yao Jin's speculation finally turned everyone's thinking back to normal.

This time, Zhao Yu didn't dare to express his opinions indiscriminately, and quickly shut his mouth.

"Hmm...... Kind of makes sense! Luo Million nodded and said, "At the beginning, Master Liu and I also had such a guess.

"Could it be that the iron coffin contains rare treasures, and those dead who wear linen and filial piety are all dart masters?

"Unfortunately, this batch of treasures was robbed, and the feces in the iron coffin may have been deliberately left behind by the robbers to humiliate the dart master?"

"Hmm......" Qiu Yongnian nodded, "This sounds more reasonable!" Perhaps, they were escorting some kind of special item, which must be protected by metal, so they specially built an iron coffin! ”

"Hey, what you said," Zhao Yu said innocently, "it may be some kind of ferocious living creature in it!" Those feces and urine don't have to be human, right? ”

When Zhao Yu said this, he immediately attracted everyone's surprised eyes.

Feeling that he was a little outrageous, Zhao Yu suddenly turned red with shame.

"Actually, what Zhao Zhutou said...... It's not necessarily wrong," Qiu Xianling said, "Don't forget that there are layers of partitions in the iron coffin, and even the partitions are made of iron, so it's not impossible to install a big snake, a big python, or a fierce beast that can gnaw wood, right?" ”

"That's it, that's what I mean!" Zhao Yu's face turned even redder, he knew that Qiu Yongnian was just relieving himself, and his ideas were too whimsical.

"Huh? Jane? At this moment, Qiu Yongnian finally noticed Xu Zun and immediately asked, "We have been talking for a long time, why don't you express your opinion?" ”

"Me?" Xu Zun hurriedly straightened up and said, "I see that you guys are talking quite well, isn't it that you can't interject!" ”

This time, he learned his lesson, pretended to be sleepy and dazed, and didn't dare to be too shrewd.

Seeing Xu Zun's performance, Naluo County Cheng frowned slightly, revealing a look of contempt.

He looked down on Xu Zun, a confused descendant, on weekdays, but he was afraid of Shen Tiande's power, so he had to accept it.

Now seeing that Xu Zun was as confused as ever, he didn't take him seriously.

"Well......" Qiu Yongnian didn't bother with Xu Zun anymore, and immediately asked everyone a question, "Now, since we already know a little bit about the situation back then, I don't know what the purpose of this iron coffin is to reappear?" ”

"Yes, that's the point!" Luo Million nodded, "If the murderer has succeeded last time, why did you put the iron coffin in Zhangqiao for the second time?"

"And ......" Thinking of this, his expression was gloomy again, "and he also killed Master Liu and put him in the coffin......"

"Isn't it ......," the master Yao Jin interjected, "What does Master Liu's book have to do with the last case?" ”

"Nonsense!" Luo Xiancheng instantly became angry and scolded, "I know Master Liu best, he is honest and meticulous, how can he have anything to do with those thieves?" ”

"Yes, yes......" Yao Jin realized that he had lost his words and hurriedly apologized.

"By the way, there is a Taoist priest in the coffin!" Finally, Xu Zun spoke and asked Zhao Yu, "Zhao Zhutou, you said yesterday that the Taoist priest was from Qijiawu, how did you find out?" ”

"Oh!" Zhao Yu hurriedly got up and reported the situation of the Immortal Temple to everyone.

When everyone learned that the concept of immortality had been destroyed by fire, they were all very surprised, and felt that the case was even more confusing.

"That's right," at this time, Zhao Yu took out a yellowed jade pendant from his arms, handed it to Xu Zun and said, "My lord, please see, this jade pendant was picked up from the ruins of the Taoist temple, I wonder if it has something to do with the identity of that Taoist person?" ”

Xu Zun took the jade pendant and found that there were indeed traces of fire on it, and the hollowed-out place on the upper part had been broken.

There is no text on the front of the jade pendant, but a very strange drawing is engraved, and the drawing charm looks like a hideous evil ghost!

Looking at the back again, there are some moire patterns, but the workmanship is very fine.

Xu Zun extracted his memories and found nothing in his mind, apparently he had never seen anything like it.

"Let me see!"

At this time, Luo Xiancheng was impatient to ask for the jade pendant.

Xu Zun handed it to him, and at the same time, Qiu Xianling, Yao Jin and others also came to him and took a closer look together.

"This ......" Luo Xiancheng seemed to be more proficient in jade, and after carefully observing the jade pendant, he said, "This should be a piece of ancient jade, and the value is definitely not cheap!" It's just that...... I've never seen a pattern on it! ”

"It seems ......," Qiu Yongnian also frowned and said, "This is not a Taoist thing, right?" ”

"Yes," Luo Xiancheng said, "This kind of painting charm is a bit like the painting style of the Wa tribe in the East China Sea, but I can't be sure, I need to find an insider, you can ask Lao Li of the pawnshop!" ”

Wa?

Xu Zun immediately thought of a certain island country, could it be that in this world, there are similar countries?

"Lord Qiu," at this time, Luo Xiancheng said to Qiu Yongnian, "There is not much time left for us, we must find out the truth before the arrival of the superior officials, even if it is to find out some important clues!"

"Otherwise, we won't have any good fruit to eat!" As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Zun and said emphatically, "Especially...... It's the county lieutenant! ”

Luo Xiancheng's words obviously have some elements of schadenfreude.

Since the county lieutenant is mainly responsible for criminal cases in the county, Xu Zun bears the brunt of the crime, and if he can't solve the case, he will inevitably be punished.

"Hmmm......"

Qiu Yongnian just wanted to say a few words for Xu Zun, but unexpectedly, Xu Zun got up from his chair and said:

"Lord Luo, don't worry! I already know how to investigate this case! ”
