Chapter 102: Who is the Real Murderer?
"It's a mosquito coil made from a mixture of grass powder and fruit," said Lu Jinlong, the Marquis of Changping, "The price is low, the quality is low, and now it is no longer used, how can you children of your age see it?" ”
"We?" Who knows, the girl in blue clothes was unconvinced, "I'm fifteen years old, this was ten years ago, there is already me, Hou Ye don't want to laugh at our young age!" ”
"No, I'm wrong," Lu Jinlong hurriedly changed his words, "I mean, you are all from rich backgrounds, and you will never see this kind of mosquito coil."
"Xu Tixing," he turned to introduce to Xu Zun, "Although this mosquito coil has a good effect on mosquitoes, it is extremely choking."
"Even ten years ago, it was mostly used for temples and Buddhist halls, and families with slightly better economic conditions would not use it, and now it is almost extinct in Shangyuan City!"
"Oh?" Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "Then how can Master Hou be so clear?" ”
"Hmm...... Ahem...... "Changping Hou coughed, and actually glanced at Xu Zun, then turned to Lu Mingyue and said, "How is it, Mingyue?" I've made my business clear, you can go back now, right? ”
"No, no, no," Lu Mingyue waved her hand, and all the young ladies shook their heads in unison, "We haven't understood yet!" ”
"Little sister," Xu Zun already understood what Hou Ye meant, and immediately said to Lu Mingyue, "To be a man is to be honest, it is rare for Hou Ye to deign to come to the county government to tell the case, since you have made it clear, then you should go back first!" ”
Interestingly, when Xu Zun was talking to Lu Mingyue, he actually made a look at Lu Mingyue.
"Oh......" Lu Mingyue Bingxue was smart, and instantly understood what Xu Zun meant.
Obviously, Hou Ye still has some important things to say, but he can't say it in front of these girls.
Therefore, only if she avoids it for the time being, can Hou Ye make her words clear.
"Okay," Lu Mingyue stood up and said to the sisters, "Then let's go back first!" Don't worry, when my brother Xu finds out something, I will definitely inform you! Let's go, let's go......"
"Ladies and gentlemen," Xu Zun did not forget to advise, "Recently, there have been frequent crimes in Shangyuan City, and I also ask the young ladies to pay attention to safety." ”
"Hehehe......"
When Xu Zun said this, the girls all laughed, and for the first time they heard the fashionable title of "little sister".
As soon as the girls left, Wei Beihui immediately followed them out to protect their safety.
......Seeing the girl leaving, Hou Ye exhaled heavily and said to Xu Zun, "It's finally quiet!" Xu Tixing, now you know, how lively my Hou Mansion is on weekdays, right? ”
"Miss Lu is heroic," Xu Zun said with a smile, "He will be a heroine one day!" ”
"Alas, that's not what I, a father, would like to see," Lu Jinlong sighed and said, "If it weren't for her grandmother's frequent intervention, Mingyue wouldn't be this kind of character, I'd rather she be a lady." ”
"Master Hou," Xu Zun knew that it was useless to talk too much about this kind of family topic, so he went straight to the point and asked, "You just now, you seem to have something to say, right?" ”
"Well......" Lu Jinlong said, "I only found out about that kind of mosquito coil after I met Monk Liankong.
"Back then, this kind of incense was used in the dwelling of the empty house. It has a very strong grassy fruit aroma that is easy to remember.
"It is said that although this incense is a little choking, it can have a refreshing effect, and the monk of mercy translates scriptures night and night, so he relies on this incense very much."
Oh......
Xu Zun pondered for a moment and asked:
"Master Hou, in your opinion, is the merciful monk wronged? Is he really a monk's robe killer? ”
"If I say that I don't care about that case, I'm afraid you won't believe it," Lu Jinlong smiled faintly and said, "But...... If you say you care, you really can't talk about it.
"When I was in prison, I also asked the monk a few times, and he only said that he had sinned a lot, violated the Buddha's will, committed a serious sin, and could not be forgiven.
"Therefore, judging from his attitude, he should be the killer of the monk's clothes, but ......" Lu Jinlong frowned, "The reason he gave to the official family is ridiculously wrong!" ”
"Oh?" Xu Zun hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"I heard Taijun Shou say that the killing of mercy is based on the verses in the "Ciluo Sadness Sutra", to live for those women who are deeply trapped in the sins of reincarnation!
He also said that in order to cleanse away sins and help them die, they should cleanse the organs of the dead...... Tut-tut......" Lu Jinlong shook his head and said, "This is simply nonsense and contrary to the Buddha's purpose.
"The "Ciluo Sutra of Sorrow" does have a record of reincarnation, but no matter which verse, you need to clean up your sins by yourself!
"And the so-called self-care refers to emptying desires, purifying the heart, and never saying that you want to exceed, so how can you not understand this kind of truth?"
Oh? How so?
Xu Zun felt that he had fallen into a fog again, and it was difficult to find his way.
"Master Hou," Xu Zun looked around and asked in a low voice, "Do you think there was a problem when this case was tried back then?" ”
"I understand, you want to say that you are planting and harming and beating into a trick, right?" Lu Jinlong waved his hand and said, "You can rest assured of this, I still know Taemin well, he is timid, and he will never dare to do anything in such a big case!"
"Besides, if you really want to blame a monk, there's no need to blame a high monk, right?"
"Well, that makes sense."
Xu Zun also thought so before, it seems that there was no problem in the trial or confession back then.
"Master Hou," Xu Zun asked again, "You said that when that Liankong committed the crime, he was translating Buddhist scriptures, could his case have anything to do with those Buddhist scriptures?" ”
"Hey, that's all there ......" Lu Jinlong frowned and shook his head again and again, "The Capricorn Kaleng Sutra and the Echo Buddha Sutra are all about the supreme Buddhist thought, although it is only a fragment, it is almost all-encompassing!" It's hard to say, it's hard to say......"
"Then ......," Xu Zun asked again, "At that time, who else did Liankong have a better relationship with?" Are there anyone who is particularly close to you? For example, brothers, apprentices? Or...... Kindred? ”
"Well...... Lu Jinlong recalled, "he has a pure heart and few desires, an introverted personality, and a good relationship with the monks of the temple."
"I don't know very well, but the apprentice really doesn't, after all, no one wants to spend a lot of time and effort translating the scriptures.
"As for relatives, it's even more not, Ben Hou heard," Lu Jinlong said, "Liankong has lived in Huguo Temple since he was a child, and he should have never had any relatives, right?" ”
After saying this, the scene fell into a brief silence.
Both sides have their own ideas.
"Xu Ti Xing," Lu Jinlong said to Xu Zun after pondering for a long time, "It stands to reason that it is inconvenient for Ben Hou to inquire about the matter of the case.
"But, since I'm here and I've said so much, I wonder if you can solve a puzzle for Ben Hou?"
"Oh? Master Hou, please speak! ”
"The two cases of Huguo Temple and Luohan Temple," Lu Jinlong asked solemnly, "Can you be sure that it was the monk clothes killer back then?"
"If it can be confirmed, it means that the mercy was on behalf of others back then!
"If not, someone is imitating!"
"This ......," Xu Zun replied, "Don't hide it from the Hou Ye, I can't be completely sure yet." ”
"How is that possible?" Lu Jinlong was puzzled, "Then Ju Ran handled this case single-handedly, whether it was the real murderer, he can't see it?" ”
"Master Hou," Xu Zun thought for a moment and explained, "We can only say that the modus operandi is almost identical, but we can't be 100% sure that it was the monk robes killer himself!" ”
"Huh?" Lu Jinlong was surprised, "Is there such a thing?" This case is bizarre!
"Xu Tixing, since the method is almost the same, then even if someone imitates it, it must be done by someone who is very familiar with this case, right?"
Ay?
In one sentence, Xu Zun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Lu Jinlong said it well, if the murderer was not the real murderer back then, nor was he a person who was closer to Liankong, then ...... He must be a person who knows a lot about the corpse of the monk-robed woman!
Who could this person be!?
