"Burned to death by a ghost!?"

Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean to be burned to death by a ghost?" ”

Lin Feng also squinted, his eyes staring at Zhou Helin.

Zhou Helin's face was heavy and said: "According to what the official said, the dead monk's legal name was Zhihe, and he was possessed by that ghost fire under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then his whole body instantly ignited a terrifying flame, and he was directly burned alive. ”

"Two people died in the temple in a row, and these monks were very uneasy in their hearts, they didn't even dare to sleep, so they had to get together to reassure each other, but who knows, just when they got together to talk, a ghost fire suddenly appeared around Zhihe."

After the ghost fire appeared, Zhihe was directly frightened, he jumped up and ran out, but he didn't run far...... The whole body was suddenly surrounded by this ghost fire, and it burned in an instant. ”

"Eventually, in the midst of endless screams, he was burned to death."

Listening to Zhou Helin's words, Fang Yizhi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he could imagine how painful Zhihe would be when he was burned alive.

When he was a child, he was accidentally burned, just a little burn would hurt for many days, and Zhihe was burned all over his body, and he shuddered when he thought about it.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, looked at Zhou Helin, and said, "Zhihe was burned by the flames, and the other monks didn't say that they wanted to save him?" ”

Zhou Helin said: "Of course it was saved, they hurriedly went to fetch water and poured it on Zhihe." ”

"But this is of no use at all, the ghost fire seems to be impossible to extinguish, the flame is not affected at all when the water is poured on it, and the flame burns very fast, and it will not take long to burn Zhihe's bones."

Speaking of this, Zhou Helin said with a solemn face: "The monks who saw this scene all felt that this was a real ghost killing people, after all, the flames could not be extinguished, but became more and more vigorous, which was really unheard of and unseen." ”

"What ghosts are killing people, what ghosts are in this world."

Fang Yi shook his head directly when he heard this, he never believed in these ghosts and gods.

However, the flames could not be extinguished, it was indeed a little unusual, and at this moment, Fang Yi's eyes suddenly flashed, and he couldn't help but think of the knowledge about burning that Lin Feng had just told him.

He hurriedly looked at Lin Feng and couldn't help but say, "Water can't extinguish that flame...... Is it because water can't affect the three elements of the ghost fire? ”

Zhou Helin had just overheard this knowledge outside the door, and when he heard Fang Yi's direct question, he was also busy looking at Lin Feng.

Drawing inferences, the knowledge of Fang Zhizhi is accepted quickly...... Lin Feng saw the two of them looking at him, he smiled, nodded and said, "Burning the three elements, as long as one of them can be destroyed, the flame can be extinguished." ”

"And watering can't put out that ghost fire, as you say, there's only one case...... That is, not a single element has been destroyed. ”

"The burning combustibles were not destroyed, the accelerant was ...... That is, the air, which is not completely blocked by water. ”

"What's more, the water turns into steam and absorbs a lot of heat, which lowers the ambient temperature...... The temperature that can be lowered does not reach the ignition point of the combustible, and naturally the flame cannot be extinguished. ”

"Therefore, the water they poured could not destroy any of the three elements of the ghost fire, and the ghost fire would naturally not be extinguished."

Fang Yizhi's eyes lit up, he only felt that the knowledge that Professor Lin Feng gave him was really too useful.

When others are still ignorant of the ghosts and gods, they can already delve into the inner truth.

Is this the charm of the study of things?

Fang Yizhi's eyes flashed again and again.

He only felt that a new door had been opened.

Zhou Helin frowned, he understood what Lin Feng meant, but because of this, he was even more puzzled: "What is that ghost fire?" Even water can't destroy its three elements of combustion? ”

Lin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and the essence in his eyes flickered.

To the ancients, they didn't know what this ghost fire was, but to Lin Feng, a modern person, it was not a secret at all.

No surprises...... He felt that the ghost fire should be caused by white phosphorus!

The ignition point of white phosphorus is very low, only forty degrees.

In nature, it is easy to spontaneously combust.

Therefore, it is difficult to douse it directly with water.

Not to mention the combustion of white phosphorus, it will become phosphorus pentoxide, and after phosphorus pentoxide encounters cold water, it will undergo a chemical reaction and become metaphosphoric acid, which is highly toxic and corrosive.

It's fine that the monks don't water.

As soon as it was watered, it was equivalent to burning at the same time, so that Zhihe was poisoned again, and at the same time a basin of concentrated sulfuric acid was drenched...... It is conceivable what will happen to Zhihe.

If he doesn't die, then there is no reason.

Zhou Helin's face was heavy, his brows were tightly locked, he looked at Lin Feng, and arched his hand: "Lin Sizheng, this is the case. ”

"Everyone says that you are like a god in judging cases and have excellent skills...... The official really has no clue about this case, maybe only Lin Sizheng can solve this case, so the official has to come to disturb Lin Sizheng, and ask Lin Sizheng to help the official find the real culprit, this kindness will be remembered by the official. ”

When Fang Yi heard this, he also looked at Lin Feng, but he didn't help Zhou Helin speak, this was Lin Feng's business, and he would not impose his will on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment, he must go to Puguang Temple, there is no better opportunity than now, this time to go to Puguang Temple, not only can secretly investigate the matter of the original Dali Temple Cheng Lin Feng, but also get Zhou Helin's favor, killing two birds with one stone, he naturally will not refuse.

Thinking of this, he smiled, nodded directly, and said, "As colleagues, we should help each other." ”

"Zhou County Order, without further ado, let's leave for Puguang Temple immediately, the faster we go, the more time the murderer has no time to deal with the follow-up, the more clues may be found."

Zhou Helin's face was pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Lin Feng not only to agree simply, but also for his own sake, to investigate the case overnight, his eyes were full of gratitude to Lin Feng, and he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay, let's go." ”

"The official has already prepared a carriage outside, and Lin Si is please."

Lin Feng nodded, he looked at Fang Yizhi and said, "Fang Langzhong, I will investigate the case with the order of Zhou County first, and then I will disturb it when I have time in the future." ”

Fang Yi arched his hand and said: "Lin Sizheng is judging the case is important, I will personally visit Lin Sizheng another day." ”

Lin Feng smiled, he didn't delay any longer, and left directly with Zhou Helin.

Looking at the backs of Lin Feng and the others, Fang Yizhi actually had some impulsiveness to go with Lin Feng and them, but after thinking about his identity, he was not a prisoner, and at this time, there was no reason to follow.

And he couldn't help much, but it would make Lin Feng waste his energy on himself, so he could only press the curiosity in his heart and order his subordinates to keep an eye on Puguang Temple at all times, and once there was news, no matter what time it was, he should immediately notify himself.

…………

The night gets darker.

The carriage drove into the cool mountains.

Zhou Helin introduced the situation of Puguang Temple to Lin Feng.

"Puguang Temple was built a hundred years ago, there are currently a total of 136 monks in the temple, the presiding officer is the German master, the first Damo Academy, that is, the temple supervisor, is the younger brother of the German master, the law name Demiao."

"Under the German generation, there are not many monks in the Hui generation, only more than ten people, and they are all managers."

"And under the Hui generation, there are monks of the Zhi Zi generation, the number of Zhi Zi monks is the largest, a total of more than 80 people, and the three monks who have died so far are all monks of the Zhi Zi generation."

"Below the Zhizi generation, there is the little novice who has just entered the temple gate."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, more than a hundred monks, four generations before and after, it can be seen that this Puguang Temple is indeed prosperous, and its status is not low.

He looked out the window, at the shadows of the trees that kept sweeping back, and said, "What is the relationship between the three monks who died?" ”

Zhou Helin said: "Zhihe, who just died, doesn't know for the time being, but Zhicheng and Zhiguang have a general relationship, they belong to different faculties, Zhicheng is in the Discipline Academy, Zhiguang is in the Luohan Hall, and they don't usually see each other much, that is, ordinary senior brothers." ”

"So the two of them who had nothing to do with each other were killed, and the official was also very strange, I don't know why the murderer chose them."

Lin Feng tapped his fingertips on the car window and wondered, "How did Zhou County Ling know that it must have been the same murderer?" ”

"What if it's a different murderer, killed for a different reason?"

Zhou Helin was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Lin Feng and explained: "Because the corpses of the two monks who were killed have things that do not belong to that monk. ”

"Something?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "What is it?" ”

Zhou Helin took out a cloth bag from his arms, he opened the mouth of the cloth bag, and poured out the contents of the bag.

"Time is pressed just now, and the official hasn't had time to talk about this."

He handed the thing in his hand to Lin Feng and said, "Look, this is what was found next to the corpses of Zhicheng and Zhiguang." ”

Lin Feng took the thing handed to him by Zhou Helin, took a closer look, and found that it was a jade pendant and a letter.

Lin Feng picked up the jade pendant first, and saw that the jade pendant was of good quality, but the jade pendant was a little scorched on one side, and it looked as if it had been burned by fire.

There is a word on the front of the jade pendant - Zhou!

"Zhou?"

"Last name? Name? Or is it something else? ”

Lin Feng looked at the back, there was only charred black on the back, and there were no other words or patterns.

Seeing Lin Feng inspecting the jade pendant, Zhou Helin said: "The jade pendant was found next to the dead Zhicheng, and the official asked all the monks in the temple, and they all said that they had never seen this jade pendant. ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "So, do you think this jade pendant was deliberately left by the murderer?" ”

Zhou Helin nodded: "That's right." ”

He looked at the letter in Lin Feng's hand and said, "The letter in your hand was found next to Zhiguang, who was beaten to death. ”

Lin Feng put away the jade pendant and looked at the letter in his hand.

He opened the letter and looked up, then he looked away with a blank face, looked at Zhou Helin, and said, "What kind of text is this?" ”

The words on the letter paper are obviously not Datang characters.

Zhou Helin said: "Goguryeo's writing. ”

"Goguryeo?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

How come they all involve another country?

He asked, "What is this talking about?" ”

Zhou Helin said: "This official specially looked for the officials of Honglu Temple who understand Goguryeo script today, and they said that it was a very ordinary letter, saying that they had returned to their hometown, everything was fine, don't read it." ”

"Ordinary letters?"

Lin Feng said: "Is there a person who wrote the letter, or the person who received the letter, has the word Zhou in his name?" ”

Zhou Helin shook his head: "No, because there is not, so the official doesn't know what relationship they can have." ”

The official also asked the monks about this letter, and they all said that they had not seen this letter, and no one admitted that it was their own...... The two cases are so close to each other, and both have things that don't belong to other monks, so the official thinks that the murderer will be the same person. ”

Lin Feng nodded, a case with a similar distance, the same mysterious object, Zhou Helin would merge it into a case, thinking that it was done by the same person, which is understandable.

However, Lin Feng still had doubts in his heart, and he would not easily conclude that the murderer was a person until he discovered the connection between these two objects.

Looking at the letter in Goguryeo script in his hand, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said: "This letter may still hide some problems, this official needs to have someone who understands Goguryeo script, as well as someone who understands Goguryeo's national conditions, to help this official take a good look at this letter carefully." ”

Zhou Helin said: "This official went to invite people from Honglu Temple to come?" ”

Lin Feng thought for a while, nodded and said, "There is a county order from Laozhou." ”

Zhou Helin hurriedly shook his head: "This is the duty of this official, so I will let people go to Honglu Temple to invite people." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Helin directly stuck his head out of the car window and ordered the guards who followed.

After the escort received the order, he quickly turned his horse and left.

After doing this, Zhou Helin let out a sigh of relief: "I just hope that everything will go well next." ”

Lin Feng's eyes flashed slightly, he looked at the dark night outside the window, and slowly said to himself in his heart: "Yes, I hope everything goes well...... In addition to the case, I can also successfully find clues about those guys in the Four Elephants Organization......"

…………

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the temple gate.

Lin Feng got out of the carriage and saw that the temple gate had been blocked by the officials of the county government.

Seeing Lin Feng and Zhou Helin coming, the official hurriedly bowed his hand to them and quickly opened the closed temple door.

Lin Feng took Zhao Fifteen and Zhou Helin into Puguang Temple.

Zhou Helin asked, "Shall we go directly to Zhihe, who was burned to death?" ”

Lin Feng nodded.

Zhou Helin asked the officials to lead the way, and they soon came to the backyard of the temple.

This is where the monks live, and at this time, the courtyard is full of people.

There are officials of the county government and monks of Puguang Temple.

The officials cordoned off the surroundings and did not allow any monks to come and go at will.

The monks, some with their hands folded, kept their eyes closed and chanted the Buddhist scriptures, and some of them were pale, looking at the black corpse in front of them from time to time, their eyes full of nervousness and horror.

There are also three people wearing regular clothes, who are thought to be the pilgrims who stayed in the temple as Zhou Helin said, and the expressions of these three pilgrims are also ugly, and their brows have been furrowed.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over these monks and pilgrims one by one, taking their expressions into his eyes, and then his gaze finally fell on the corpses in front of everyone.

I saw that in the center of the courtyard, in the area controlled by the officials, a charred corpse was lying.

When you get closer, you can smell burnt flesh and a slightly pungent smell.

The corpses had been burned beyond recognition, and in many places the bones were burned directly.

What kind of appearance, what kind of clothing, at this time is completely invisible.

Zhou Helin looked at the corpse, his brows were furrowed, his face was very ugly, it had only been a long time, and another person had died, which in Zhou Helin's opinion, was simply a provocation to himself.

He looked at Lin Feng, only to see that Lin Feng didn't care about the burning smell coming from the corpse, nor did he care that the corpse was burned so hideously and terrifyingly, and was carefully examining the corpse.

Zhou Helin couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes showed admiration, like him...... When they saw this corpse for the first time, they all subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, reluctant to approach, but Lin Feng did not dislike it at all, and checked the corpse as soon as he arrived.

No wonder he has such a skill and name at such a young age...... Zhou Helin sighed in his heart, he also quickly came to the corpse, squatted down, looked at Lin Feng and asked, "Lin Sizheng, how is it?" ”

Lin Feng said as he inspected: "There are serious burn marks on the surface, and in addition, there are some traces of corrosion on the bones. ”

"Traces of corrosion?" Zhou Helin frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

It shows that it is really white phosphorus, and the corrosive acid should be phosphosphoric acid formed by phosphorus pentoxide and cold water...... Sure enough, the monks did a bad job.

Lin Feng shook his head and didn't say this, so as not to be heard by the murderer hiding in the surrounding crowd and startle the snake.

He straightened up, looked at the monks around him, and said, "Who has seen what happened?" ”

Zhou Helin introduced Lin Feng to the monks: "This is Lin Feng of Dali Temple, is the most famous detective in my Tang Dynasty, he is like a god, and has solved many strange cases. ”

Hearing Zhou Helin's words, the monks' eyes when they looked at Lin Feng changed.

Although the monks live in the monastery and live a life of birth, it does not mean that they are really uninformed and uninformed...... On the contrary, there are many pilgrims in Puguang Temple, and these monks know more from the mouths of pilgrims than some ordinary officials.

So Lin Feng's deeds, they have also heard of it.

Seeing that Lin Feng, who had cracked the palace haunting case and the Yushitai arson case, came in person, these monks obviously showed a look of hope on their faces.

It was the three pilgrims who glanced at each other, and their expressions when they looked at Lin Feng were also a touch of strangeness.

It seems that I am really famous now...... Lin Feng saw the change in everyone's expressions, and knew in his heart that he was indeed not the time when he had just crossed over.

He said: "I believe that all the masters also hope to catch the murderer earlier, so next, I ask the masters to cooperate more." ”

"Amitabha."

A gray-bearded monk walked out of the crowd, his temperament was dusty, his expression was charitable, and he seemed to really have the feeling of being a monk, he folded his hands and said to Lin Feng: "Lin Si is asking, the poor monks and others will fully cooperate." ”

Lin Feng looked at the monk, and Zhou Helin introduced: "Lin Sizheng, this is the master of Puguang Temple. ”

The enlightened monk who told Fang Zhizhi's mother that the red mud was the manifestation of the Bodhisattva?

Lin Feng made an unstandard gesture of clasping his hands together and said, "It turned out to be Master German." ”

The German abbot was kind and kind-eyed, and said: "The poor monk has heard that the pilgrim talked about the deeds of Lin Sizheng's case, Lin Si is breaking the case quickly, if there is divine help, it is an unprecedented detective, today Lin Si is able to come to my temple, and the poor monk believes that Lin Si Zheng will be able to find out the truth and catch the real murderer for the monks of our temple." ”

Lin Feng nodded slightly: "Zhou County Commander specially invited this official to come to help, and this official will go all out." ”

He didn't dare admit that he had come on his own initiative, and he had to let everyone know that he was here to help.

In this way, if this temple really has something to do with the Four Elephants Organization, it won't be cranky because of its arrival.

Of course, when he said this, he also wanted to gain Zhou Helin's favor, and when he came, he naturally wanted to brush up more favorability.

Sure enough, when Zhou Helin heard this, his face was full of gratitude.

Lin Feng looked at Abbot Devin and said, "Master Abbot, I don't know who saw the picture of Zhihe being burned to death?" ”

Devon said: "The room behind you is where Zhihe and them rest, and the ten disciples who are in the same room as Zhihe have all seen it with their own eyes. ”

As Devon spoke, ten monks walked out consciously.

Lin Feng glanced at them, they ranged in age from their twenties to their thirties, and they belonged to the backbone of Puguang Temple.

Lin Feng looked at them: "Please also ask the masters to explain the situation in detail at that time." ”

When these monks heard this, they spoke one after another, and they were very cooperative...... But as a result, ten people spoke at the same time, as if they were ten flies, flying around their ears, and they couldn't hear clearly.

"Zhiping, come on."

The abbot Devin couldn't stand it anymore and called a monk alone.

Lin Feng looked at it, and saw a twenty-four or five-year-old monk walking out with his hands folded, he looked upright, and he was half as handsome: "Amitabha." ”

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Poor monk Zhiping." ”

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Master Zhiping, please speak." ”

Zhiping said: "About two hours ago, our brothers and sisters were all lighting candles in the room and gathering to talk. ”

"And at that moment, Senior Brother Zhixin suddenly exclaimed, he pointed to Senior Brother Zhihe's shoulder, and said that there was a ghost fire there."

"Zhixin?" Lin Feng looked at the rest of the monks.

Then I saw a relatively fat monk raise his hand, his face was pale, his chubby face was full of fear, his pupils were full of nervousness and fear, and said, "It's a poor monk." ”

Lin Feng looked at the fat monk and said, "That ghost fire appeared suddenly?" ”

Zhixin nodded: "That's right, we were discussing the death of Zhicheng and Senior Brother Zhiguang there, and the poor monk suddenly felt that something was shining on the opposite side, and then the poor monk subconsciously raised his head and saw that on the shoulder of Senior Brother Zhihe, a ghost fire was floating. ”

"At that time, I was frightened, I shouted, and my brothers and sisters found out."

Lin Feng looked at the others, and the others all nodded hurriedly.

He bowed slightly, and looked at the handsome Zhiping again: "Go on." ”

"After the poor monk and others heard Zhixin's words, they were all startled by the floating ghost fire, and we hurriedly told Zhihe, who was at a loss, that when Zhihe saw the ghost fire on his shoulder, the whole person was so frightened that he suddenly had no blood, and he ran out in a panic."

"But who knew that the ghost fire seemed to be eyeing him, and it followed him all the time, until he rushed out of the door, his whole body was instantly wrapped in ghost fire, and the whole person directly turned into a fire man."

Listening to Zhiping's narration, the faces of the other monks couldn't help but turn a little pale, and they trembled and recited Buddhist scriptures, as if this was the only way to make their hearts calm.

Zhixin, who was the first to discover the ghost fire, was even more covered in cold sweat, and his whole body trembled so much that he had an afterimage.

Zhou Helin couldn't help grinding his teeth, and his hands couldn't help rubbing his arms, it was really a bit too terrifying, he just thought about it, goosebumps rose.

I think he has been an official for so many years, what kind of case has he never seen...... But it's the first time I've seen such an evil thing.

Zhou Helin looked at Lin Feng while secretly saying the evil sect, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw that after Lin Feng heard Zhiping's words, his expression did not change at all, as if he had expected it to be like this.

This made him sigh again in his heart, a detective is a detective, Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, and this strange scene was not panicked at all.

Zhou Helin coughed, looked at Lin Feng, and said, "Lin Sizheng, how is it?" ”

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the room first." ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng walked towards the room, and the monks gathered in front of the room automatically moved out of the way.

Several people entered the room.

The rooms where the monks lived were simple, with a large bunk near the wall and a large table next to the window.

The table is large enough for a dozen people to sit easily.

At this time, there were two candles, some drinking glasses, and a kettle on the table.

Lin Feng came to the table and asked Zhiping, who had followed him in, "You were sitting here at the time?" ”

Zhiping nodded: "Yes." ”

"Where is the deceased sitting?"

Zhiping raised his hand, pointed to the opposite position of the table, and said, "Just sit there." ”

Lin Feng looked in the direction Zhiping was pointing and found that it was exactly in the direction of the door, and on the table in front of that position, there was a candle about to burn out.

Lin Feng came to the place where the deceased Zhihe was sitting before his death, thought about it, and sat down.

He looked ahead, and a picture appeared in his brain at this moment—everyone he could see when Zhihe was sitting here chatting with his brothers, and the angle from which everyone looked at Zhihe.

His fingertips tapped lightly on the table, and his eyes eventually fell on the candlestick on the table, and he squinted his eyes and stood up quietly.

"Where does Tomo-wa live?"

Zhiping hurriedly took Lin Feng to the front of the shop, pointed to the position against the wall, and said, "This is where Senior Brother Zhihe lives." ”

Lin Feng looked at Tongpu and saw that there was only one quilt here, neatly folded, and in the corner, there were some monk robes.

"That's Zhihe's clothes?" Lin Feng asked.

Zhiping nodded hurriedly: "That's right, we don't have a cabinet, and the clothes are stacked at our feet." ”

Lin Feng climbed up to the shop, picked up a piece of Zhihe's clothes, looked at it briefly, and asked, "Do you have any requirements for which set of monk's clothes you must wear every day?" ”

Zhiping shook his head: "There is no such requirement, as long as it is clean, it can be." ”

"Each of us monks has three sets of monks' robes, and the monk's clothes are all the same, enough to change and wash."

Lin Feng nodded: "It's very humane." ”

Lin Feng got out of the bunk, looked around the room again, and saw that there was nothing special in the room, so he walked out, and said as he walked: "I don't know if when Zhihe died, there was something around him that didn't belong to him?" ”

When Zhou Helin heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he also looked at Zhiping, he knew that Lin Feng asked this way to determine whether Zhihe's death was the same as the other two deceased.

Zhiping hurriedly said: "In the courtyard, not far from the place where Senior Brother Zhihe's whole body was wrapped in ghost fire, I don't know when a wooden box appeared. ”

"Wooden box?"

Zhou Helin's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "Where is the wooden box?" ”

"It's still there, and the abbot doesn't allow us to mess with anything so as not to spoil the scene."

Listening to Zhiping's words, Lin Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Abbot Devon to have these experiences." ”

Zhou Helin said: "Maybe I've seen the way this official investigates the case during the day, so I can learn from it." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "It's not a bad thing. ”

Zhou Helin nodded hurriedly.

Soon they left the room and came five paces away from the corpse.

Zhiping pointed to the wooden box on the ground and said, "This is the wooden box...... This wooden box does not belong to any of the brothers in our yard, and the abbot has also asked other brothers, but they don't know. ”

Listening to Zhiping's words, Zhou Helin's eyes flashed slightly, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "It seems to be the same as the previous two...... Or the same murderer. ”

Lin Feng didn't nod, nor did he shake his head, his fingertips rubbed slightly.

He looked at the wooden box on the ground and then looked around it.

At this time, he found several wooden barrels placed not far from the wooden box.

Lin Feng asked, "The barrel has always been placed here?" ”

Zhiping nodded: "That's right, after we practice and work, we will put the barrel back here so that we can get it again the next day." ”

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "It seems that this wooden box is really placed here by the murderer." ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, several people were stunned, and they hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng explained: "Think about it...... After Zhihe is on fire all over, what will be his first thought? ”

Zhou Helin's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said: "Extinguish the fire!" Live! ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Yes, it's to extinguish the fire and survive...... And he was a monk in this courtyard, so he knew very well where their buckets would be, so when his whole body was on fire, he would definitely run to the buckets as soon as possible, thinking of putting out the fire for himself. ”

"So the murderer put the wooden box here, and the idea that Zhihe couldn't extinguish the fire with water, and could only die here in pain and despair in the end."

"In this way, the wooden box will naturally appear next to the deceased and be discovered by us, just like the other two deceased people when they die."

Zhou Helin's eyes widened, Zhiping's eyebrows trembled slightly, he hurriedly folded his hands and whispered, "Amitabha." ”

After Lin Feng finished speaking, his eyes looked at the charred corpse five steps away, and said slowly: "But this time, the murderer obviously misestimated the power of the flames, which eventually caused Zhihe to die directly before he didn't have time to approach these buckets when he was five steps away from here." ”

"I think that Zhihe may still be thinking that as long as he can come to these buckets, he will be able to survive until he dies, right? It's a pity that he doesn't know that the bucket is just a false hope given to him by the murderer, and when he arrives here, Zhihe is afraid that he will die of even more despair and pain. ”

Zhou Helin couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of foam and said, "This murderer is really ruthless, insidious and vicious!" ”

The abbot Dewen, the temple supervisor Demiao and others all clasped their hands together at this time and whispered: "Amitabha." ”

Lin Feng was silent for a moment, then immediately retracted his gaze, looked down at the wooden box, and said, "Zhou County Order, let's see what the murderer left us." ”

When Zhou Helin heard this, he hurriedly squatted down, picked up the wooden box, and immediately opened the lid without any hesitation.

His eyes fell on the wooden box, and he immediately frowned, and wondered, "This is?" ”

Lin Feng took a step forward and looked over.

The next moment...... Lin Feng's pupils shrank slightly.

I saw a piece of cloth in the wooden box.

The cloth was purple, and the cloth was stained with blood.

The blood had long since dried up and was completely integrated into the cloth.

"How is it a piece of cloth?"

Zhou Helin looked dazed.

Lin Feng took the cloth out of the wooden box, felt the comfort of the cloth, and said, "Excellent quality cloth." ”

"But it looks like ......"

Lin Feng looked at the cloth that had begun to fade a little, and said, "It should have been some years." ”

Zhou Helin listened to Lin Feng's words, and also carefully checked the quality and physiognomy of the cloth, and nodded: "It's true that the years are not short, but the official doesn't understand this, and he can't judge how old this cloth is." ”

Lin Feng naturally didn't understand this.

And he was more concerned about the blood stained on the purple cloth.

The blood had long since dried up, and it was impossible to tell how long it had been on it.

Whose blood is this?

Why does it get on the cloth?

And also...... If these cases are really committed by the same murderer, then what is the intention of the murderer to leave these things?

Why did the murderer have to leave these things behind after the killing?

What exactly does he want to do?

Lin Feng's brows furrowed.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhihei, and asked, "How is Zhihe's usual personality?" Who can you conflict with? ”

The young monk shook his head: "Senior Brother Zhihe has a big personality and rarely cares about others, so he is very popular, and he has not had any conflicts with anyone recently." ”

Zhou Helin's face was solemn: "Another deceased who didn't have any conflict, and couldn't even find a motive for killing!" ”

Lin Feng asked again: "What is the relationship between Zhihe and the first two deceased?" ”

Zhiping thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Zhihe is a disciple of the Discipline Academy, and he has a good relationship with Senior Brother Zhicheng, but he doesn't have much contact with Senior Brother Zhiguang...... However, Senior Brother Zhihe has a good relationship with the senior brothers of our Discipline Academy, so there is nothing special about it. ”

Zhou Helin's brows had already wrinkled into a Sichuan character.

He looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Si is looking at you...... This is the same as the first two deceased, there has been no conflict with other people, the relationship between each other is normal, there is no excessive closeness...... So why did the killer choose to do it to them? Is it a randomly chosen target? In fact, there is nothing in common between these deceased? ”

Hearing Zhou Helin's words, the faces of the monks of Puguang Temple changed.

If there is no definite goal, but it is chosen at random, it means that everyone is in danger, and it is impossible to prevent it.

Lin Feng shook his head, and he said, "It won't be chosen randomly. ”

"What?"

Zhou Helin was stunned and hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and the other monks also focused their eyes on Lin Feng.

Lin Feng said: "Whether it was Zhicheng who was hacked to death at the beginning, or Zhiguang who was beaten to death later, or Zhihe in front of him, the murderer did not leave any clues at the scene, even if Zhihe was burned to death in front of you this time, but there were ten of you, and no one noticed anything abnormal. ”

"And the methods used by the murderers are completely different, and the cause of death is different for everyone...... This is enough to prove that the murderer was premeditated, prepared, and specially designed, and he had already decided who he was going to attack, so as to ensure that every time he did it, there would be no accidents, even in full view, and he could succeed. ”

"If it was a random killing, he couldn't have been so thoughtful...... Besides, even if it is a random killing, the murderer will have his own preferences, even if he is a madman, he has his own internal logic in doing things...... Therefore, the three of them must have something in common, but we haven't found it for the time being. ”

Zhou Helin thought for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said is reasonable, but I don't know what these three people have in common." ”

At this time, a servant walked over quickly and said to Zhou Helin: "Zhou County Order, Cheng Qin of Honglu Temple has asked." ”

"Qin Sicheng?"

Lin Feng's eyes moved, acquaintance.

In the previous murder case of Prince Mengshezhao, Cheng Qinwen of Honglu Temple was one of the suspects, and he was almost cut down by the real murderer, General Mengshezhao.

It was Lin Feng who found out the truth, found out the real culprit, and helped Qin Wen clear his suspicions.

A few days ago, when he became the temple leader, Qin Wen also wanted to give him a banquet and thank him for helping him clear his suspicions, but Lin Feng had always had an appointment, so he politely declined.

I didn't expect to see Qin Wen on this occasion today.

From this point of view, Qin Wen should be the official of Honglu Temple who was called by Zhou Helin to help interpret the Goguryeo letter.

Unconsciously, there are more and more people I know in the court.

Zhou Helin hurriedly went to greet him, and soon, a familiar face appeared in front of Lin Feng.

When Qin Wen saw Lin Feng, he hurriedly surrendered his hand, his attitude was very enthusiastic, and said, "Lin Sizheng, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "Qin Sicheng, this official didn't expect to see you here, this is really a coincidence." ”

Zhou Helin laughed: "The official almost forgot, you have met in the case before, now it's okay, the acquaintances cooperate more tacitly." ”

Qin Wen nodded hurriedly, originally he was woken up from his sleep, and he was still a little dissatisfied, but after seeing Lin Feng at this time, this unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

Not only because Lin Feng is his benefactor, but also because Lin Feng is now a hot rookie in the imperial court, Qin Wen has wanted to banquet Lin Feng many times before, but he can't find the opportunity, and now he can come to cooperate with Lin Feng and deepen his friendship with Lin Feng, which is what he dreams of.

Lin Feng looked at the abbot and said, "Master Devon, can you help us find a room?" ”

When Devin heard this, he nodded directly: "Of course." ”

Soon, the three of them came to a room.

The candle flame flickered, illuminating the figures of the trio.

Lin Feng handed over the letter in Goguryeo script to Qin Wen, and said, "There is a word-for-word translation from the official of the Lao Qin Temple. ”

When Qin Wen heard this, he nodded without hesitation: "This is simple." ”

Qin Wen, the language master, quickly helped Lin Feng translate.

Lin Feng listened carefully.

Gradually, I had a very detailed understanding of the specific content of this letter.

This is a letter written by a man who returned to the Tang Dynasty from Goguryeo to a benefactor friend he made over there in Goguryeo.

The letter was delivered with the help of a merchant who was a trader.

The letter said how he left Goguryeo with the help of the power of the Tang Dynasty and how he returned to his homeland.

When he returned to his hometown, his parents were still there, and he was very glad that his family was still there, and that he was not dead.

It's just that he sighed at the end of the letter, this time in the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that he will not be able to go to Goguryeo again in this life, and it is estimated that he will never see his friends again in this life, and he will never be able to repay the kindness of being taken care of in Goguryeo.

The love is sincere, and it makes people feel emotional.

Once parted, it is permanent.

After reading the letter, Qin Wen looked at Lin Feng and said, "That's the content of the letter. ”

Lin Feng frowned and pondered, "There is nothing wrong with the content of the letter, it's normal...... But in that case, why did the murderer leave such a normal letter? ”

"And isn't this letter going to Goguryeo? Why is it in the hands of the murderer? ”

Qin Wen and Zhou Helin naturally couldn't figure it out.

Lin Feng looked at the jade pendant in his hand again, looking at the blood-stained purple cloth in the wooden box, his brain was running wildly at this moment.

All the clues I got tonight kept emerging.

Three deceased with completely different causes of death.

Three people who seem to have nothing to do with each other.

And what these murderers left behind......

Suddenly, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something.

He looked at Qin sharply and asked, "Qin Sicheng, can you tell when this letter was written?" ”

Qin Wen thought for a moment and said, "It should be the fifth year of martial arts." ”

"Five years of martial arts?"

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "So sure?" ”

Zhou Helin also looked at Qin Wen unexpectedly, after all, there was no mention of time on this letter.

How did Qin Wen know that when this letter was written, it was the fifth year of Wude?

Qin Wen looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Sizheng may not know that in the fifth year of Wude, a major incident happened about the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo. ”

"What's the big deal?" Lin Feng asked.

Qin Wen said: "The Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo exchanged prisoners of war!" ”

"Swap prisoners of war?" Lin Feng frowned slightly.

Qin Wen nodded and said: "During the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui, he fought many times with Goguryeo, so tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were captured by Goguryeo and trapped in Goguryeo. ”

"Therefore, in the five years of Wude, tens of thousands of people returned to their homeland, and the people who were trapped in the Tang Dynasty and could not return to Goguryeo were also allowed to return to Goguryeo by the Tang Dynasty."

"Looking at the content of this letter, the process of migration in the middle, and the various things that returned to the homeland are all in line with the situation of the year, so it is not surprising that this should be a letter written by the people who returned to the Tang Dynasty from Goguryeo to the friends they made in Goguryeo."

Listening to Qin Wen's words, and then thinking about the content of the letter, Lin Feng nodded, he also agreed with Qin Wen's speculation.

He couldn't help but look at Qin Wen, and arched his hand: "Thank you Qin Sicheng, if there is no Qin Sicheng to speculate the time for the official and tell this history, the official will definitely not think of this." ”

Qin Wen hurriedly said: "It's just that this matter happens to be understood by the lower officials, if it is something else, the lower officials really can't help." ”

"You've done a great job!"

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, he looked at the two of them, and said, "I think, I already know what the murderer's intention is to deliberately leave these things." ”
