"There is a smell of licorice......," said a little girl, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, without fear, putting her nose to the deceased's hair, sniffing and sniffing, "and mixed with the aroma of a fruit, so special......

This little girl's name is Qingqing, and she is the daughter of the owner of the Shangyuan City Aromatherapy Hall.

"I smell it......" Lu Mingyue also leaned over and sniffed seriously, "What do I think...... Where have I smelled it? Is it magnolia? ”

"I smell ......," and then another younger girl leaned over and smelled, "Oh, I've never smelled this before!" It's weird......"

"Don't crowd all here!" Na Qingqing said unhappily, "You guys have perfume on all of you, and I can't smell it clearly!" Go away! ”

"Yes, yes," Lu Mingyue realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly pulled the other girls aside, "Qingqing is right, she has the true inheritance of the aromatherapy hall, if she can't smell it, then everyone else will be in vain!" ”

Xu Zun crossed his arms and looked at this group of innocent and lively girls with relish, and found that each of them was very handsome and lovely.

Moreover, I don't know if it was due to the education of Qinglan Academy, these girls are quite assertive and full of feminine spirit.

"This smell ......," Qingqing finally calmed down, sniffed it for a while, and said, "It's only thick in the hair, so it can be seen that she doesn't use this incense for the same purpose as us......

"So ......," Qingqing guessed, "this aroma should be passively directed to the deceased, so ......"

"I see!" Lu Mingyue's eyes widened, "This fragrance should be used by that killer, right?" ”

Qingqing nodded, and the women's faces finally showed a hint of fear.

"But the killer ......," asked one of the girls in blue, "why use this incense?" Don't...... Is the killer a woman? ”

"Qingqing," Lu Mingyue asked, "After talking for a long time, can you smell it?" What kind of incense is this? ”

"It seems to be some kind of fruity scent, I have never had this kind of incense in my store, I ......" Qingqing said regretfully, "I can't smell it......"

"Huh?" Lu Mingyue pursed her lips, "It's over, if you can't smell it, then it's not going to be easy!" ”

"I'll try again," said the other girl, "let me try again!" I don't think I've smelled it before. ”

"All right, girls!" Seeing this, Xu Zun immediately high-fived the girls, "Thank you, now, let's trouble everyone to go outside and discuss!" Don't bother the dead anymore......"

The girls, though reluctant, walked out of the courtyard.

"It's really strange," Qingqing said depressedly, "In the entire Shangyuan City, there shouldn't be a fragrance that I can't name?" What the hell is this? ”

Qingqing's voice did not fall, and a neutral voice came from the door of the county office:

"Of course you don't know, because the smell isn't incense at all, it's — mosquito coils!"

Yes!?

Everyone was curious, and looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a middle-aged man wearing an indigo blue robe and a jade and silver crown on his head.

"Daddy?" Lu Mingyue was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

The person who came was none other than Lu Jinlong, the Marquis of Changping!

"Alas!" Lu Jinlong looked at the young ladies of the Zhu family, shook his head and sighed, "There is really no way to take you little girls, this is the county government office, is this where you came?" ”

"Lord Hou......"

"Master Hou!"

Seeing Lu Jinlong's sudden arrival, Xu Zun and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Xu Tixing," Lu Jinlong complained to Xu Zun again, "It's outrageous enough for you to let my daughter marry you with a brother and sister with a different surname, I thought about your merit in finding the little girl, and I didn't care about you."

"But......" he said, pointing around, "you can't fool around with her?" ”

"Master Hou, I ......"

Xu Zun just wanted to explain, but Lu Mingyue interrupted abruptly, rushed to the front and said:

"Dad, how can it be nonsense to help the county government find the murderer?" Lu Mingyue said impassionedly, "The murderer singled out women, and the case involved a big case ten years ago, as a resident of Shangyuan City, he should have done his part!" ”

"You...... I'll ......" Lu Jinlong puffed up and said helplessly, "When I get home, I'll clean you up!"

"Daoist Wei," he said to Wei Beihui behind him, "you escort these young ladies back now, and you must ensure their safety!" ”

"Yes!" Wei Bei returned to receive the order, and immediately gestured outward to the girls.

"If you don't go, I won't go!" However, how could Lu Mingyue listen, and immediately talked to Lu Jinlong about the conditions, "Dad, what mosquito coils did you just say, you explain it to us first, and we will leave after explaining it!" ”

"You...... Okay, good ......" Lu Jinlong laughed angrily, nodded and said, "Don't you just want to know the ins and outs of me and that Mercy Kong Master?" It's not a secret, I'll tell you about it now! ”

As soon as Lu Jinlong said this, all the girls were immediately silent, and they all surrounded him with great curiosity.

Of course, Xu Zun is no exception, he just wants to ask Hou Ye for clarification!

"Daoist Wei has already told me what happened," Lu Jinlong sat straight on the chair against the wall and said to everyone, "Yes, the person who often went to the Nanjian Prison to visit Monk Liankong back then was me!" ”

"Wow!" Although everyone was mentally prepared, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"Back then, because of the discovery of the Capricorn Sutra and the Echo Buddha Sutra, I was friends with Master Na Compassion for a long time." Lu Jinlong said, "It is rumored that these two scriptures were unearthed from a tomb in the Western Regions, and they are of great value for the study of foreign Buddhist scriptures and history.

"And because of the peculiarity of the text, only Master Na Liankong could translate it, and I often went to Huguo Temple to discuss Buddhist scriptures at that time, so I got acquainted with him.

"It's a pity that not long after we got acquainted, he was arrested by the county government," Lu Jinlong shook his head, "I didn't expect that he was the famous monk robe killer!"

"Alas, the impermanence of all things is the law of birth and death. The avenue has no phase, and one will destroy the other.

Although he committed a serious crime, his attainments in translating Buddhist scriptures were unparalleled, so the abbots of various monasteries at that time jointly signed a letter requesting a suspension of the execution and allowing him to complete the translation of Buddhist scriptures.

"At that time, it was Ben Hou who helped them submit the application. So...... Whether it's to check on progress or to discuss the scriptures, I go to see him in prison almost every other week.

"I can't figure it out, that mercy Kong forgot to sleep and eat in prison, and actually finished translating the scriptures in advance, as if he was bent on death!" Lu Jinlong recalled, "Actually, he could have slowed down, and no one urged him at all."

"Finally, as you all know, on the day of the execution, Ben Hou personally went to the execution ground to give him a ride."

After speaking, the scene was silent.

"Dad, is this the end?" Lu Mingyue blinked her big eyes and hurriedly asked, "Tell me, is he a murderer?" Why is the same case coming up again ten years later? ”

"This ......" Lu Jinlong frowned slightly and said, "I'm also very strange!" When I went to Huguo Temple and saw the female corpse for the first time, I already knew that this matter must have a lot to do with the empty air.

"Because the house where the female corpse appeared was the residence of Liankong in Huguo Temple back then.

"Also," Lu Jinlong said again, "although the female corpse has been dead for many days, I still smell the aroma of déjà vu from her!" ”

"Aroma, by the way," Lu Mingyue remembered the key point and hurriedly asked, "What mosquito coil did you just say?" In this winter, how can it be a mosquito coil? ”
