Chapter 78: The Monk Clothes Killer (I)
"Ten years ago, exactly ten years now......"
Ju Ran took Xu Zun and others to a leeward area of the temple and talked about the ins and outs of the corpse of the monk-robed woman.
"At that time, there was a case of the corpse of a monk in a woman's clothes in Shangyuan City, and ...... Or serial homicide! Ju Ran gestured to the crime scene in the distance, "The deceased are all young women like that, and after death, they are all wearing monk's robes, kneeling in front of the Buddha hall, and their postures are all ......the same."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”
Xu Zun and Zhao Yu glanced at each other, feeling a little surprised.
"The cause of death ......" Ju Ran sighed and said, "He also died by dissecting the abdomen and destroying the internal organs, and he also stitched up the wound after death!" ”
This......
Xu Zunda frowned, he couldn't imagine that the murderer was so cruel.
"That year was also after the beginning of winter, and in just two months, four women in Shangyuan City were brutally murdered," Ju Ran recalled, "and the places where their bodies were dumped were located in various temples in Shangyuan City.
"For a while, people's hearts were panicked, and every family was closed, and they were all frightened by this monk clothes killer!"
"Those women ......" Xu Zun thought for a while and asked, "Who are they?" Have you found out? ”
"Of course," Ju Ran said, "the four of them are all Miss Hualou, dusty women, and they are all about 20 years old. ”
"Oh......"
Xu Zun unconsciously looked at the scene of the crime, suspecting that the deceased was also a dusty woman, because she had an unusual fragrance on her body and her nails were also painted.
"Ten years," Zhao Yu pondered and asked, "So, after ten years, this monk's robe killer has shot again?" ”
"No, no, no," Ju Ran said busily, "The two adults have misunderstood, if it's really that simple, then why should I stop you from doing anything?" ”
"Oh, then you don't ink," Zhao Yu was anxious, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”
"Actually, as early as ten years ago, that monk robe killer had already been caught by us, and," Ju Ran said, "I still caught it myself!" ”
"Huh?"
Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were surprised again.
"Caught?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"It's a monk!" Ju Ran replied, "Back then, in order to solve this case, we also dispatched the whole city, and searched day and night for many times.
"In the end, we finally found a temple with the help of an eyewitness's confession, and then by searching the temple, we were able to catch the real culprit.
"The man's name was Mercy Kong, and he was over fifty years old at the time," Ju Ran said, "and we found the tools of the crime from his residence, such as disembowelment weapons and sutures......
"And the monk also confessed to his crime, and the case of the monk's corpse was solved!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "What about later?" ”
"Later," Ju Ran replied, "we questioned him in detail, and the details of his confession did match the scene of the crime."
So, Taemin guarded the court and prepared to ask for beheading.
"But...... Unexpectedly, this monk was actually a translator of a rare Buddhist scripture, and he was translating the Buddhist scripture at that time.
As a result, the abbots of Shangyuan City jointly wrote a letter, asking Liankong to complete the translation of the Buddhist scriptures before executing him.
At that time, Xuandao had not yet risen, so the above actually approved the application for probation and allowed Liankong to continue translating scriptures while in prison.
"This translation is the situation of six or seven years," Ju Ran recalled abruptly, "Later, in the first year of Taikang, Na Liankong suddenly announced that he had translated all the Buddhist scriptures and could go to the execution!"
"It's really bizarre to say, in fact, the thick boxes of Buddhist scriptures, if he deliberately delays, I'm afraid it will take another ten or eight years There will be no problem.
But the monk forgot to sleep and eat, worked tirelessly, and actually completed the task ahead of schedule.
In fact, the monks at that time felt his success in translating the scriptures, and wanted to plead with the imperial court to spare him death and let him die in prison.
But at that time, the rise of Xuandao, the decline of Buddhism, and the monks no longer had the right to speak!
"So, after verifying the identity and re-checking, the body was still shown to the public, and then the body was taken away by the monks......"
Oh......
After listening to what Ju Ran said, Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were actually stupid, but they didn't expect that there would be such a bizarre story about the corpse of the monk and the girl.
"My lord, I beg your lordship to learn from it," Ju Ran said with an embarrassed face, "Do you know which monastery the monk was from back then?" ”
"Ah!?h
Hearing this, Xu Zun gasped, and goosebumps appeared on his body.
"No," he asked, in astonishment, "......is this it?" ”
"It's this Huguo Temple!" Ju Ran pointed to the location of the female corpse in the distance, "That is where Monk Piankong lives!" ”
I click!
Xu Zun once again felt the sensation of numbness in his scalp.
Zhao Yu also couldn't help but wrap his clothes tightly, as if he was about to be frozen.
"My lord," Ju Ran continued, "I ask the entire Shangyuan City, no one knows more about the corpse case of the monk and the clothed woman than me!"
"I don't dare to deceive my lord anymore," he suddenly bowed down and clenched his fists and said, "I feel that we should have caught the wrong person back then!" ”
No way?
Xu Zun thought that his scalp was numb and that was the end of it, but after hearing this, he was numb again.
"Otherwise......" Ju Ran said excitedly, "why did this female corpse be placed in the room where Pian Kong lived back then?"
"Otherwise, why would the details of this woman's death be exactly the same as the case ten years ago?
"Otherwise, why did Pian Kong want to die back then?"
Three otherwise, a vivid scene appeared in Xu Zun's mind:
Ten years ago, Reikong pleaded guilty for protecting the murderer.
Ten years later, the monk clothes killer reappeared in Shangyuan City to avenge Liankong!?
"My lord," Ju Ran said again, "that's why Lord Commander ordered me to stop it." If you know these secrets, the two of us will inevitably be implicated.
"I was the one who arrested me back then, and Lord Taemin tried the case, and now if it turns out that there is another person who killed the monk, then the two of us will ...... Only...... Alas......"
Oh......
Xu Zun finally understood why Taemin and Ju Ran's faces were so ugly just now.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask for something!" Zhao Yu asked Ju Ran, "Is this case of the corpse of a monk and a woman known to everyone in Shangyuan City?" ”
"Yes!" Ju Ran admitted, "It was such a sensation back then, and naturally everyone knew it. ”
"And you're well fed? Can this be hidden? Can you hide it? Zhao Yu asked.
"You're right, I'm ashamed," Ju Ran clasped his fists again, "It's only because this female corpse came too suddenly, and Lord Hou and Master Thorn Shi were both present at the time, and Lord Taemin and I were in a panic, that's why we are so confused......
"We wanted to wait until all the adults were gone before discussing what to do, but we didn't expect you to insist on seeing the corpse.
"I just contradicted the adult, and I hope the adult will forgive the sin!"
"Ju Zhutou," Xu Zun asked, "Are you so sure that the case in front of you was really committed by the monk clothes killer ten years ago?" Wouldn't it be a copycat? ”
"I can't be sure," Ju Ran said, "but after seeing the stitched wound just now, I can be sure!"
"No matter the location of the wound, the length, or the stitches of the sutures, they are all exactly the same as back then, if it wasn't for the real murderer himself, how could it be done!?"
Gee......
Coming to such a conclusion, Xu Zun smacked his lips again and again, feeling the fog suddenly rising in front of him.
"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Yu remembered an important question and asked Ju Ran, "Since everyone knows about it, how can Master Hou not know it?"
"Isn't he worried that the person who kidnapped the young lady will be the killer of the monk's clothes?"
