Chapter 207: Take one grade a day
Ye Caitang finally arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is the main hall of the Huguo Temple, and it is enshrined in Rulai.
In the middle of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is the largest statue of the Huguo Temple.
At this time, only one body remained, and the head disappeared.
But the most strange thing is not the Buddha statue with no head, but a dagger inserted on the offering table in front of the Buddha statue.
The temple is the most benevolent place, no killing, no blood, no blades, or it is a very good time for Xia Yue to enter the temple to worship the Buddha, and they all want to untie the blades.
Why is there a dagger still stuck in the offering table?
Ye Caitang got closer, only to see that there was a note inserted under the dagger.
There were a few red letters on the note.
Every day, take a grade.
The word dragon flying and phoenix dancing, I don't know what it is written in, gives people a bloody feeling.
Ming Shi's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Xia, you see, the gangsters are bold, not only was the Buddha's head stolen, but he also left such a note, I don't know what it means."
This note is bloody, eerie, and the two words "first" also give people an infinite ominous feeling.
The head of the Buddha statue is the head. The head of a man is also the head.
Ye Caitang only knew at this time why there was a great enemy in the Huguo Temple, and they must be very worried about what the murderer would take next, in case it was not the head of a Buddha statue, but a real human head, how could it be.
The theft of Buddha statues is a big thing, and if there is a murder, a monk is killed, and his head is cut off, it is even more terrible.
Xia Yue said: "After this dagger was discovered, did it ever move?"
"No, I didn't." Ming Shi said: "I haven't touched it, I'm afraid that any clues will be destroyed." ”
Not to mention anything else, it is still insightful to explain this point.
Xia Yue nodded, reaching out and holding the handle of the dagger.
Ye Caitang almost habitually shouted to stop, and then thought about it, there is no fingerprint extraction technology in this era, even if it is useless to leave fingerprints on the dagger. Extracted, there is no fingerprint library, and it is not easy to catch people one by one to compare.
Xia Yue pulled out the dagger with all his strength.
Then he took the piece of paper in his hand and looked at it.
Then he handed the piece of paper to Ye Caitang.
Xia Yue said: "Look at the handwriting on this paper. ”
Whether it is blood or not, how long is blood, Ye Caitang is a man, it should be the clearest.
Ye Caitang looked at it, sniffed it closely, and reached out to touch it.
There are no instruments, it's all about experience and intuition.
"Not human blood." Ye Caitang said: "It's like chicken blood or pig blood." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not human blood, it's not always such a perverted feeling.
But after this breath of relief, I continued to get nervous.
Now it's not human blood, because the murderer took the head of the Buddha statue on the first day, so there is no blood. But tonight, if you take a living head tonight, you will really see blood.
The bloody disaster in the temple is very ominous.
Xia Yue took the note back and asked Ming Shi: "Have you checked the handwriting on this note with the monks in the temple?" ”
"Checked." Ming explained: "Even let them write these words one by one, no one is similar to this handwriting." However, it is not difficult to cover up this point, and the scribbled writing of this character is likely to be written with the left hand. ”
Xia Yue put away the note and dagger first.
Look at the Buddha statue again.
Just like the previous tailor master's comparison, the Buddha statue is really big, and a single Buddha head has half the height of an adult.
Ming explained: "This Buddha statue is made of clay, not to mention a complete Buddha statue, just a Buddha head, and the weight is also considerable, and it is definitely not something that an ordinary person can move." And you look at ...... adults."
Ming Shi pointed to both sides.
The windows of the Daxiong Treasure Hall are more than one person high on both sides, and the windows are very small, and there is a grid in the middle of the windows.
"Look, sir." Ming explained: "In addition to the main entrance, there are only two windows in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the size of this window is that even a thin person can't climb out, and it's even more impossible for the Buddha to go out." ”
Unless it's all smashed, don't even think about it.
"But the main gate is closed at night, and if it is opened, it will definitely make a loud noise."
"And there are monks outside the main gate to patrol the night, six people in a round, change the guard in the middle of the night, we have asked the monks who patrolled the night last night, and we have not heard any movement, and the poor monks also believe that they will not lie, if one or two, it is just a lie. Six people together, there is no such reason. ”
The more people know the secrets of life and death, the more unsafe they are.
Six people lie together, as long as one of them shows their feet, everyone is finished together.
Ming Shi explained the situation almost completely, and said to Xia Yue thoroughly: "What the poor monk is most worried about now is not the lost Buddha head, but tonight, I am afraid that there will be another accident." ”
The head of the Buddha can be found, but if you can't find it, you can even create another one, just find a reason to appease the public. For example, a mythological story, or a golden body of a Buddha statue.
If it is a dead person, there is no way to get it back.
It was already dark, and another night was coming.
If it's just a Daxiong Treasure Palace, it's a big deal to send more people to enclose this place densely, but the murderer doesn't have to be in this place.
Xiangluo Mountain is so big, Huguo Temple is so big, there is a feeling that it is impossible to prevent.
After being worried, Ming Shi ordered someone to take Xia Yue and his party to rest.
Xia Yue and they have just arrived, even if it is six doors, no one can solve the case, and there will be a lot of investigation tomorrow.
Tonight, I can only resign myself to fate.
In order to facilitate Xia Yue and their rest, the temple vacated a row of side rooms, just enough for each of them. It's simple, but it's also thoughtful.
After eating a meal and going to rest, Xia Yue wanted to stop everyone.
"For the sake of safety, let's have two people in one room tonight, don't be alone. If you go out at night, you must call the other person. ”
Who knows who the murderer is, who knows where the murderer is, who will choose if he wants to kill?
Maybe killing a Beijing official with six doors to solve the case is more shocking than killing a monk.
That's right.
Everyone nodded in unison.
But after nodding, they looked at Ye Caitang together.
There are exactly four of them, Xia Yue Xie Zhi, Wang Tong Liu Sha, how to distribute the two of them.
But what about Ye Caitang?
Ye Caitang is lonely, and she is a girl, no matter who she is in the same room with.
What's even worse is that she is the only one who doesn't know martial arts.
So she must not be left alone.
But how are you going to sleep tonight?
Ye Caitang innocently looked at this, then at that, and finally covered his face in pain.
Wang Tong was about to contribute to the happiness of adults, and Liu Sha said: "Xiao Ye, if you don't choose yourself, we can sleep with whoever you want." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yue's face turned a little dark. Of course, the black is not obvious, but I still can't help but want to cut Liu Sha with a thousand knives.
Wang Tong couldn't help but glared at Liu Sha angrily, but Liu Sha didn't understand.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, wasn't the decision on Xiao Ye, as long as Xiao Ye was willing, could they still refuse to be flower messengers? If it is not good, I am afraid that the lonely man and widow will have a bad reputation for Ye Caitang, and it is okay for three people to have a room.
A team of five people, if you don't want to be alone, you must have a trio.
Liu Sha couldn't help but slander in his heart, Lao Wang was strange this day.
