Chapter 79: The Monk Clothes Killer (Part II)

Just when Xu Zun and the others listened to Ju Ran's narration and began to analyze the case, the public at the gate of the Shangyuan City Yamen, the arresters, and the servants had already entered the scene.

Seeing the corpse of the monk robed and the female reappeared in Shangyuan City, everyone was extremely shocked.

Ju Ran had no choice but to start directing the work in front of Xu Zun and the others, first asking the arresters to investigate the scene and look for suspicious traces, and then arrange for the body to be processed and transported.

The trappers searched the area for a long time, but found no suspicious traces.

No way, the corpse died for a long time, and there was a heavy snowfall during this period.

Now, as the snow melts, the road is muddy, and a large group of people have trampled on it before, and the scene has been severely damaged.

At this moment, watching the servants carefully dispose of the corpses, Xu Zun and the others continued the previous topic.

"Master Hou must be worried about whether Miss Lu will also be kidnapped by this monk-robed killer," Zhao Yu took the lead and said, "If it is really this cold-blooded killer, it is better to be kidnapped, it is terrible!" ”

"It shouldn't be ......," Ju Ran frowned and said his analysis, "As far as I know, the targets of the monk clothes killers are all dusty women around 20 years old!"

"And Miss Lu of the Hou family's family is completely out of character.

"In addition," Ju Ran said again, "According to the situation of the last case of the corpse of the monk and the clothed woman, the murderers were all arrested and killed on the spot, not first arresting all the people they wanted to kill, and then killing them one after another.

"Also, Miss Lu has been missing for five days, and based on what I know about the monk's robe killer, he won't wait that long for five days."

"Having said that...... "Zhao Yu worried, "but things are not people, who can guarantee that the murderer will kill according to the standards of ten years ago?"

"God knows if Miss Lu would have been killed by now, but the body has not been found? This has to be worrying! ”

"Indeed," Ju Ran said, "I guess Hou Ye didn't show too much concern in public just now, maybe he wanted to save face for Lord Taemin."

"It is impossible for him not to know about the case of the corpse of the monk and the clothed woman, and it is impossible not to worry about Miss Lu......"

"So," Xu Zun pointed to the female corpse that had been carried on a stretcher in the distance, "the identity of this female deceased is particularly important!" ”

"Yes!" Ju Ran understood what Xu Zun meant, "As long as we can find out the identity of the deceased and prove that she is a dusty woman, then the probability of Miss Lu being captured by the monk clothes killer will be greatly reduced."

"Your Excellency, please rest assured," he assured Xu Zun, "as soon as the body is transported back to Yizhuang, I will immediately send someone to draw pictures and put up notices, compare the missing persons, and find out the identity of the deceased."

"As long as the deceased is a resident of Shangyuan City, it will definitely be able to be found!"

"That's right," Zhao Yu suggested, "You can also call all the Hualou girls in Shangyuan City to recognize people, maybe it's more efficient!" ”

"Yes, but ......" Ju Ran clasped his fists at Xu Zun again, "Lord Xu, the case of the monk-clothed female corpse has a great impact, if people know that the monk-clothed female corpse case has reappeared in Shangyuan City, I am afraid it will cause panic!" So ......"

"I understand," Xu Zun nodded, "especially when Miss Hou Fu is missing, you can't be too public." In this way, whether it is posting a notice or identifying a corpse, it must be done in secrecy! ”

"Your Excellency is wise," Ju Ran said, "The humble will also tell the yamen to keep secrets strictly." ”

"Bow to the head," Xu Zun smiled bitterly, "You should know very well that strictly guarding the secret is just covering your ears and stealing the bell, just now the people of the Hou Mansion and the army have seen the corpse, this secret is impossible to keep!" ”

"This ......," Ju Ran looked worried.

"So," Xu Zun said, "we need to find the murderer as soon as possible."

"According to your description, the murderer killed four women in a row in just two months, and at this rate, it won't be long before the next victim appears!

"So, we'd better catch him before he makes his next move, and we'll figure everything out!"

"This ......" Ju Ran was puzzled, "My lord, you have also seen that this Huguo Temple is quite remote, if you hadn't found witnesses ten years ago, I'm afraid it would be difficult to solve the case!"

"Besides, we may have caught the wrong person......," he remorseed, "and it's ironic to say that my name as a god is because of this case." ”

"Ju Zhutou, don't blame yourself so much," Xu Zun said, "Let me ask you, is there any file on this case back then?" ”

"Yes!" Ju Ran replied, and then added, "However, you might as well ask me if you look at the file, I said that no one knows this case better than me!" ”

"Okay," Xu Zun said, "Then I'll ask you a few questions, first, according to the confession of the monk who is merciful, why did he kill people like this?" ”

"Of course I did," Ju Ran replied, "that it is according to the verses in the Ciluo Sutra of Sorrow, that we want to die for those women!" ”

"Oh? It's so evil! Xu Zun frowned deeply, "Then why do you have to cut open their stomachs?" ”

"He said that he wanted to cleanse his internal organs so that he could wash away his sins and help him die!" Ju Ran replied, "For this reason, he also spoke a bunch of Sanskrit words that he didn't understand, and he couldn't record them. ”

This......

Xu Zun scolded in his heart, isn't this a typical mental illness?

"You said he could translate Buddhist scriptures," Xu Zun thought for a moment and asked again, "So he is not from the Central Plains?" ”

"No," Ju Ran replied, "I have checked the background of Liankong, he grew up in Huguo Temple since he was a child, and he has no relatives and no reason.

"The reason why I can translate Buddhist scriptures is because in the past, there were often some monks from the Western Regions who preached in the temple, and he was smart and studious, good at languages, not only learned Sanskrit, but also learned several special Sanskrit.

Because of this, he had a high status in the temple, had his own separate residence, and was even a candidate for abbot several times.

"Back then, I had seen the kind of Buddhist scriptures he translated, and that text was indeed an extremely rare scripture, not the Sanskrit that we are used to."

"This monk ......," Xu Zun pondered, "it's really not simple!" It is incomprehensible that such a heinous sin should be committed despite having such profound knowledge. ”

"Yes," Ju Ran said, "According to the monks in the temple, Liankong is usually quiet and mild-tempered, and he has never quarreled with anyone, and no one dares to believe that he will be the killer of the monk's clothes!" ”

"That'...... What about women? Zhao Yu interjected.

"No, he has never behaved in any way with women," Ju Ran replied, "So, I also thought about it at the time, did we catch the wrong person?"

"For this reason, I really checked it again, but there is no doubt about his description of the facts of the crime, and ......" Ju Ran recalled and said, "This monk of mercy did have contact with the four deceased at the beginning!" ”

"Oh?"

Xu Zun's eyes widened, and then he remembered that he hadn't had time to ask about the situation of the deceased back then.

"The four deceased were all young ladies from the city's major flower houses," Ju Ran said, "although they are all dusty women, they have one thing in common, that is, they often come to Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."

According to what Liankong himself said, it was when these women were burning incense that he was targeted!

"He said that he could see the sins of reincarnation in the afterlife of these women, and in order to save them from the suffering of reincarnation, he had to surpass them in advance......
