The first case Hongyan Yi Chapter 40 Who is the murderer

The temples in the whole county are deserted, and only the remaining ones are too far away from Yinjia Village, so they also specially invited a master who can carve a complete stone into a Buddha statue.

Lu Anran didn't explore Mrs. Yin's thoughts, but asked: "Since it is carved, why is the Buddha statue and the base golden lotus not one, and how are they connected together?" ”

"It was originally one." Wei recalled: "Later, it seems that because of the limited size of the door of the Buddha hall, the base of the golden lotus exceeds the width of the door, so the master suggested that the Buddha statue and the golden lotus should be separated, and then connected in a special way when they are moved to the Buddha hall, as long as the interface mechanism is not damaged, the Buddha statue will not collapse." ”

Lu Anran looked at her, his eyes were cold and thorough: "You know this organ." ”

Wei Shi was so agitated that his face turned pale, he grabbed the sheet with both hands, and sighed bitterly: "Miss Lu came here today, I know that you must doubt me, but what can I do as a little woman, not so much that there is a murderer behind it, I believe that there are really ghosts and monsters." ”

Lu Anran stared at Wei's twitching fingers due to nervousness for a long time, raised his eyes and said, "On the night of Yin Tianxiang's accident, you said that you were in Su Su's room, what did you hear?" ”

"Nope." Wei Shi shook his head, frowned again after speaking, and said frankly: "Miss Lu doesn't believe it, even I think it's incredible now, why didn't I hear any sound next door until I saw the blood letter......

"You believe that Kim turned into a ghost to kill people."

"Otherwise, I can't explain it."

Lu Anran's words changed, "When Su Su had an accident, you said that you burned paper money for Yin Tianxiang at home. ”

Wei Shi was not angry at Lu Anran's questioning tone, and said with a wistful expression: "I was in the open space at the back of the house, and Sister-in-law Tian also greeted me when she was looking for someone to pass by. ”

Lu Anran didn't let go of any expression on her face, and continued: "Then do you know that Old Madam Yin also happened at about that time. ”

"What?!" Wei's pupils dilated, revealing an extremely shocked expression.

Waiting for Wei Shi to recover from his recovery, he took two breaths hard, slowly calmed down, and said with an ugly face: "Doesn't this show that only ghosts can do it?" ”

Lu Anran shook his head slowly: "There are ghosts, and they are also ghosts in people's hearts. ”

Wei lowered his head and made no sound.

"There's one more question." Lu Anran said quietly: "I once overheard someone say that the Jin family suspected that you and Yin Tianming had a secret relationship before his death. ”

Wei Shi stroked the hair on his sideburns, and then raised his face, his bloodless lips hooked up a trace of ridicule, "It's hard for Miss to say so elegantly, in fact, Miss wants to ask me if there is any adultery/love between me and my eldest brother." ”

Lu Anran saw that she didn't mind, and she didn't pretend to twist, so she bowed her head and said, "There are indeed hidden rumors." ”

Wei laughed at himself: "The Jin family has always suspected me of seducing the eldest brother, but even if I am a debauched person, I will not do such an unseemly thing. ”

"Then why did the Kim family misunderstand?"

This time, Wei Shi did not answer immediately, and after his face changed several times, he sighed deeply, "Once I went to the county seat to meet with people, and it happened that the eldest brother saw that he was talking to me in private, called sister-in-law, that is, Jin's, and she misunderstood when she found out." ”

Lu Anran grasped the key point in the middle, "What did Yin Tianming see?" ”

"Now that I have told Mademoiselle, there is nothing to hide from this matter." For the first time, Wei's face had a sad expression, and he said quietly: "I made an appointment with an old man, who was broken up because of my parents' opposition, and then the family hurriedly looked for the current marriage. ”

It was also a coincidence that when the Wei family went to the county seat to buy things, they not only met the old man, but also were looked down upon by Yin Tianming. Afterwards, Yin Tianming told her that no matter what happened in the past, now that she has married into the Yin family, she should not get close to other men and have a good life.

"Kim only saw us talking in a low voice, thinking that there was some ulterior relationship." Wei Shi looked at Lu Anran, "Miss should have seen me and Yin Tianming talking in the courtyard last time, but she never talked much, which shows the difference between people." ”

Wei is so calm, it seems that Lu Anran is weak-hearted, and she really cares about the two of them in her heart because of this.

Wei Shi seemed to think of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, in fact, many people in the village know about the Buddha statue base mechanism, because on the day the Buddha statue was carved, many people came to the house to watch it curiously. ”

Lu Anran nodded, "But you just said that ghosts kill people, is it still important to have a mechanism?" ”

Wei was stunned.

Lu Anran said again: "If the murderer is hidden in the village, not only can he sneak into your house in the middle of the night to kill people, but he can also spend a lot of effort to disguise the scene without alarming anyone, and besides, such a person at least has a deep hatred with your family, but you have no clue?" ”

Wei Shi subconsciously said: "Tianxiang didn't die outside...... she hurriedly retracted her words, almost biting her tongue, "Yes, it was when my father-in-law and people were talking outside, I heard it." ”

Lu Anran's cold gaze stared at Wei Shi motionlessly, causing the latter to bow his head without saying anything after a cold sweat.

The more this happened, the more Wei felt uneasy, pulled the sheet tightly, and said, "Miss doesn't ask?" ”

Lu Anran rubbed his fingers on the lines of his hand, and said lightly: "I don't need to ask, those who are in a hurry to explain will say it." ”

Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he said steadily: "I'm not...... It's not me...... I am not a heinous person, I can't do it to kill my husband, kill my niece, and then destroy my mother-in-law's sins in vain. ”

Lu Anran stood up with the stove in his hands, looked down at Wei and said, "Sooner or later, the truth will jump out and tell the world." With that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Wei propped up the bed and said hurriedly: "I think of a suspicious person. ”

Lu Anran tilted his head, "Who?" ”

"Widow King!"

Lu Anran frowned slightly, and listened to Wei's words: "I saw with my own eyes that Widow Wang once talked with the eldest brother behind closed doors, and later after being reprimanded by her mother-in-law, Widow Wang didn't dare to come to the house again for a long time, you go and ask Sister-in-law Tian, she also knows about it." ”

If Widow Wang and Yin Tianming have a head and tail, it seems reasonable to get rid of the opposing Mrs. Yin and the obstructive Su Su.

"What about Yin Tianxiang?"

Wei leaned back with all his strength, and took out a Supa from his sleeve pocket to wipe the fine sweat on his sideburns, "Tianxiang once teased her when she was young and ignorant, I'm afraid she has a grudge in her heart." ”

"Hmm." Lu Anran didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it.

Wei Shi lay on the bed, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said without a smile: "Miss Lu, a person like you has never been born in the sky and the moon, and you have never seen all kinds of filthy things in the world." ”

Lu Anran didn't refute her, but just left a sentence: "People are valuable and self-respecting, and then they are respected by others." ”

Out of Wei's room, Lu Anran saw at a glance the dead wood in the corner, the warm sun was spreading, he gently twisted the jade bone fan, his expression was leisurely, and his eyebrows and eyes were circulating, showing the grace.

Yun Qi walked over, saw that Lu Anran had a deep contemplation between his eyebrows, and chuckled: "Something? ”

Lu Anran talked to Yun Qi about what Wei revealed and after listening, Yun Qi slapped his palm with the handle of the fan, and said, "Coincidentally, I just came from Yin Tianming's place." ”

Lu Anran was slightly stunned: "What did he say?" ”

"The Wei family does have an old friend, but because he is not doing his job, the family is severely opposed, so he hurriedly found the Yin family to marry." The two walked side by side, and Yun Qi said slowly: "Later, the Jin family misunderstood the two, and he was puzzled by depression, and finally jumped into the well when he couldn't figure it out. ”

Lu Anran said: "So Yin Tianming has no motive to kill his brother. ”

Yunqi asked rhetorically: "Do you believe the rhetoric of the two?" ”

Lu Anran shook his head slowly: "The Buddha statue in the old lady Yin's Buddhist hall is carved from a whole piece of original stone, and only the golden lotus at the base is partially cut and finally connected. And the surface of the Buddha statue has a layer of yellow paint, before you come in, I checked the Buddha statue to the end, and found that the yellow paint behind the Buddha's head has a little fade traces.

Wei said that Mrs. Yin was burning paper for Yin Tianxiang when she had an accident, and Sister-in-law Tian also greeted her. But if the mechanism is destroyed in advance, then even if the person is not indoors, he just stands at the window and pokes the head of the Buddha statue with a stick, and calculates the position, and if it falls down just enough to hit the person kneeling in front of it.

Mrs. Yin's daily worship and recitation of the Buddha is regular, and the people who are most familiar with her ......"

Yun raised his eyebrows, hooked his lips and said, "Family." ”

Lu Anran bowed: "And when I talked about Yin Tianxiang just now, without indicating the cause of his death, Wei blurted out that he died outside." ”

Yun Qi rubbed his chin lightly with a fan: "At that time, Wei Shi went to the Buddha Hall and shouldn't have heard it." ”

"But......" Lu Anran furrowed his brows, "Maybe it's really as she said, she heard Village Chief Yin talking to someone." ”

Yun Qi sighed: "What a contradictory person, killing people always has to leave traces, and it will be clear if you check it." ”

Lu Anran suddenly stopped, "By the way, Wei also said one more thing. ”

"It's hard to say what you look like?"

Lu Anran pondered his language and said, "Wei said that Yin Tianming has a great relationship with Widow Wang, and Yin Tianxiang once wanted to mistreat Widow Wang. ”

Yun Qi turned the fingers of his right hand, and the fan turned in a circle in his hand, holding it tightly, "It seems that we need to talk to Widow Wang again." ”

The two walked out of the courtyard of the Yin family towards Widow Wang's house, and Yun Qi teased: "Seeing that you are more active in talking about the dead than treating the living, it is better to change your studies and not enter the medical sect." ”

The cold wind poured into his neck, Lu Anran took a few breaths of cold air, put his hands on the stove, and was a little hesitant for the first time.

It's not that she has to go against her father, since she found the jade plate in the tiger head shoes and learned about the various mysteries on her mother, she made up her mind to study medicine.

If you follow the same path as her mother, you may find the answer that has been bothering her for a long time.

At this moment, Lu Anran didn't say anything to Yunqi, and changed the topic and said: "Chunmiao said that Guanyue came back, and let you send it out again." ”

Yunqi retracted his inquiring gaze, and his tone was always contemptuous, "I forgot to tell you that Guanyue really found something." ”
