Chapter 37 The facts of the case are clear
"Brother Chen, you said that there are new clues in Xiaomei's case. ”
In the clean inn, the Bai brothers and sisters looked at Chen Yutian excitedly.
"Not bad. We got new leads. It proves that the real time of Ling Mei's death is actually in the unitary time of the same day. So I want to ask, do you know the whereabouts of Ling Mei that day?"
Chen Yutian said slowly with a clear tea.
Bai Fan sat aside.
Behind him, Skyshadow leaned against the wall and looked out the window.
"I see...... I remember the day my little sister ......"
When Bai Xiushan said this, a thick, middle-spirited voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"She went to the temple outside the city to catch the temple fair. ”
The voice fell, and the door suddenly opened.
An old man in his fifties appeared outside the door.
He looks extremely heroic, and between his words and deeds, he has his own military temperament, and he is a veteran in the army at first glance.
It's just that at this moment, he can't see the iron-blooded temperament that has been on the battlefield for a long time, and some of them are just a sadness that a father who has lost his chicks should have.
"Daddy. ”
The Bai brothers and sisters got up one after another and said respectfully to the old man.
This person is the father of the three Bai brothers and sisters.
Bai Lingyan.
"Second uncle. Bai Fan also got up and said respectfully
"Old general. ”
Chen Yutian also stood up and hugged his fist at the old man.
Bai Lingyan glanced at Chen Yutian.
"Presumably, this is Tatsu-sama who helped investigate the case of the little girl. I didn't expect you to be so young, Lord Chen, it's really terrifying. ”
"Where, where. The old general is polite, and he has only solved a few cases in the next place, which is not worth mentioning. ”
"Tatsu-sama is too polite. ”
Bai Lingyan hugged his fists slightly.
"The old general is polite. You just said that on the day of Ling Ai, you went to the temple outside the city to catch the temple fair?"
"Exactly. ”
"Then do you remember which temple Ling Ai went to that day?"
Chen Yutian pondered for a moment and asked.
1"The old man doesn't know. ”
Bai Lingyan shook his head slightly and pondered.
"But I remember that day, before the little girl and Yu'er left, they said that they were going to burn incense and make a vow to the Bodhisattva. ”
"Wish?"
Chen Yutian and Bai Fan glanced at each other, their eyes flashing slightly.
......
"My lord, I found it. ”
In front of the Yuelao Temple.
Chen Yutian, Bai Fan, Tianying, and a young man dressed as a dragon guard stood quietly outside the door.
Another man dressed as a dragon guard suddenly walked out of it.
This person is also not very old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very energetic.
He was one of the two commanders of the two elite teams of the Dragon Guard sent by Xuanye, the Son of Heaven, to Chen Yutian at the time of this patrol.
Li Qing.
"My lord, according to Wu Yu of the temple of Yuelao Temple, on the fifth day of the second lunar month, the temple outside the city has held a temple fair, and only the Guanyin Temple has been more than 30 miles away. ”
"Guanyin Temple?"
Chen Yutian glanced at Bai Fan and looked into the distance slightly.
Bai Fan's eyes flashed.
Half an hour later, the five of them came to the Guanyin Temple in Wu Yu's mouth.
It is a small temple, and in addition to a large hall, there is only a backyard for the monks to rest.
When the people came here, there were not many pilgrims.
Under the leadership of the gatekeeper monks, everyone met the abbot of the Guanyin Temple, Master Hui Si.
Master Hui Si is nearly seventy years old, but his physique is still strong, and his crane hair is childish, which faintly gives people a sense of being a monk.
"Amitabha, I don't know how many donors are looking for the old man, what are you doing?"
Master Hui Si shouted the Buddha's name and gently saluted everyone.
Chen Yutian hurriedly returned the salute.
"Master, coming here today, there is really a matter of human life, and you need to ask the master for advice. ”
"Oh, I don't know what's going on, but please explain it to the donor. ”
Master Hui Si's expression paused slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"That's right. On the fifth day of the second lunar month of this year, did your temple hold a temple fair?"
"Exactly. It was a temple fair held to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of our temple. ”
Master Hui Si nodded, his brows still furrowed,
"What, a few donors, is there something going on at my temple fair?"
Chen Yutian waved his hand slightly, and said with a smile:
"It's not that something happened to you at the temple fair, we just want to ask, have you ever seen this girl at the temple fair that day?"
As he spoke, Li Qing on the side took out the portrait of Bai Xiuxiu that had been prepared in advance.
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu's appearance on the portrait, Master Hui Si narrowed his eyes slightly.
And the accompanying monk beside him suddenly flashed his eyes!
This change in demeanor naturally did not escape the eyes of Chen Yutian and Bai Fan.
The two glanced at each other, and they both saw a clear light from each other's eyes.
"Hmmm......"
Master Hui Si stared at the portrait for a long time, and touched the white beard on his chin slightly.
"How's that, master, do you have any impression of this woman?"
Bai Fan spoke eagerly.
The master shook his head, and when Bai Fan saw this, there was a slight disappointment in his eyes.
"Several donors, I'm sorry, there were too many pilgrims who came to the temple fair that day, so the old man couldn't remember whether there was such a female benefactor among those pilgrims. ”
"There's nothing you can do. ”
The master sighed ashamedly.
"The master doesn't have to be like this. We are already grateful that the Master was able to help us. ”
Chen Yutian turned his gaze to the attendant monk beside Master Hui Si.
"I wonder if this little master has an impression of this woman?"
When the attendant monk heard this, he was slightly startled.
He pointed to his nose and wondered, "Me?"
Chen Yutian nodded.
"That's right, I just saw that the little master was obviously taken aback when he saw the portrait, I don't know if the little master has seen this woman before?"
The attendant monk looked at the two portraits carefully, and spoke with some uncertainty.
"I'm not sure, but the benefactor ...... Indeed, it is very similar to one of the two female benefactors who had a dispute with Ling Gongzi on the day of the temple fair?"
"Oh, are you sure?"
Bai Fan's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly asked eagerly.
The attendant monk looked at the portrait carefully and finally nodded affirmatively.
"Well, I'm sure, because I remember that the benefactor also had such a cinnabar mole on her eyebrows. It looks like a female bodhisattva. ”
He pointed to the mole on Bai Xiuxiu's eyebrows on the portrait.
Bai Fan nodded affirmatively.
"That's right, Xiuxiu has had such a cinnabar mole on her eyebrows since she was a child, and her personality is quiet and kind, when I was young, my brothers and sisters in the family thought she was a bodhisattva. ”
"However, who is the young master Ling in the mouth?"
He asked, a little puzzled.
Seeing the monk's expression, he sighed helplessly.
"Who else can there be, in this Youzhou City, in addition to the son of the Yin family, there can also be that Ling Gongzi?"
Hearing this, Bai Fan and Chen Yutian, almost at the same time, their eyes lit up!
"Ling Mo?!"
......
"Knock knock!"
A violent knock on the door kept ringing.
But no one has ever answered the door.
"Hey, is anyone there?"
Huo Yuanji opened his throat and shouted, but still no one came to answer the door.
"Could it be...... He's not at home?"
Lin Feifei looked at the closed door and muttered to himself.
Here, is the home of a man named Liu Feng.
This person, like Lin Ming, Wang Yun, and Liu Dahai, is also one of the people who was listed in the non-death list found in the purse of the flower butterfly.
On that day, in the coroner's office of the state government, Huo Yuanji made a bold conjecture.
That is the Flower Butterfly serial murder case and Bai Xiuxiu's case, which is very likely to be the same case.
In order to confirm his conjecture, after discussing with Xue Tianhan and Gongsun, he decided to start investigating from these people on the list.
After all, the whole thing is currently the only one who knows best, except for Hua Butterfly and the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, Liu Fang at this moment does not seem to be at home.
Even, the door of his house was locked, and no matter how Huo Yuanji knocked on the door and called the door, he didn't respond.
Seem...... There is no one in the house at all.
"Could it be...... We're a step too late?"
Huo Yuanji had a bad feeling in his heart.
He remembered the last time he searched for the living on the death list, and all of them had received an anonymous letter and were out of the house.
Later, they were all found dead in a hut west of the city.
Although the scene of the murder did not leave the mark of Flower Butterfly, it was later official, and the three people were also poisoned by Flower Butterfly.
Is this time going to be a tragedy again?
No, absolutely not!
Huo Yuanji's gaze changed, flashing with an incomparably firm color.
Then, he knocked on the door of a nearby house.
"Excuse me, may I ask if the person next door is out? I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered. ”
The person who came out to answer the door looked at the tightly closed door next door and sighed slightly.
"Alas...... Brother, you're really unlucky...... Brother Liu's family had already moved out the night before yesterday......"
"What? Moved away?"
Huo Yuan was extremely surprised.
Even Lin Feifei showed an unexpected expression.
"Yes, it was probably the evening before yesterday, and when I went home, I saw Brother Liu's family next door moving things to the carriage. ”
"I asked him if he was going to go far away, and he told me he was moving out. He also said that he had a relative living in the capital, and he happened to leave them a big house, so they were moving to the capital......"
"That's about it......"
"I see, thank you so much, brother. ”
Huo Yuanji arched his hand slightly at the other party, and then left.
"It's really strange, why didn't he move sooner or later, but only when we were going to find him?"
"This incident must not be a coincidence!!"
Lin Feifei expressed his guess.
Huo Yuanji smiled faintly.
"How can you be so sure it's not a coincidence?"
"Well, of course I guessed. I always felt that it was too coincidental for him to move at this time. What do you say?"
Huo Yuanji thought about it, nodded lightly,
"Hmm...... There is no real evidence, but my gut tells me that his move was probably not a coincidence! ”
"Oh?" Lin Feifei looked dazed.
"What do you mean......"
"It's not certain yet, let's go to Tianhan Gongsun first, if they suffer the same as us, then things will be in trouble. ”
Huo Yuanji took a deep breath, and then pulled the girl away.
The other side......
Gongsun stood outside a closed door, his expression extremely solemn.
"It's a matter of moving my family at this time, this matter is a little suspicious?"
"Mr. means ......"
Tang Fengling looked at the huge wooden door with a big lock, and then looked at Gongsun thoughtfully.
"It's not certain yet, let's go, let's go and reconcile with them first. ”
In the midst of a deep groan, Gongsun slowly left.
On another street, Xue Tianhan and Ling Miaoyin also walked forward quickly.
In another small alley, Lin Dao and Wu Dongtian slowly paced out.
"Actually moving at this time, I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter?"
......
"Could you please elaborate on what this is all about? ”
Bai Fan said to the accompanying monk with an anxious face.
The attendant monk nodded slightly, thought for a while, and slowly spoke.
"I remember that it was near the end of the temple fair, and I was ordered by the master to go to the temple gate to see off the guests, and when I passed in front of the main hall, I suddenly heard a commotion......
He recounted the scene in detail......
In front of the main hall.
Bai Xiuxiu's personal maid Yu'er, a pair of beautiful eyes glared at Ling Mo in front of her, in her eyes. Anger grows.
"Who are you who dare to take advantage of my young lady?"
She gently pressed the long sword at her waist and asked in a deep voice.
Just now, this guy in front of me, who didn't know how to lift, was openly molesting his own young lady in front of everyone here.
not only asked the lady's name in person, but also shamelessly raised her hand to touch the lady's face.
It's shameless!
However, what makes people even more angry is that this person is not only not ashamed of this, but arrogantly questions himself.
"Who are you? Haven't you heard of your son's name?"
The entourage behind him was even more peaceful.
"That's it, don't you even know the name of my son-in-law? Tell you, my son-in-law is the son of Youzhou Mansion Yin. ”
"Oh, the son of Youzhou Mansion Yin? Hmph! A shameless person like you still has the face to report his identity? Youzhou Mansion Yin's face is probably lost by you. “
Yu'er smiled coldly.
The pilgrims who were watching next to them suddenly opened their mouths in surprise as if they had seen a monster.
There were a few well-wishers who reminded Bai Xiuxiu.
"Girl, listen to my advice, and you better not mess with him. “
But Yu'er ignored this.
"You ......"
Ling Mo's face sank.
Yu'er sneered.
"What? You still want to do it? This is a pure place for Buddhism, do your hands and feet here, be careful that the Bodhisattva punishes you?"
Ling Mo laughed.
"Haha...... Bodhisattva? Just those clay sculptures and wooden tires, I am not afraid, master! I might as well tell you, in this Youzhou City, there is nothing that I can't get......
"Little ones, grab me ......"
Ling Mo smiled, and the doglegs and entourage behind him suddenly swarmed up, surrounding Yu'er and Bai Xiuxiu.
Seeing this, Yu'er pressed her left hand, and with a "bang", the long sword was instantly unsheathed!
"I think any of you dare to step forward?"
She raised her eyebrows and drank coldly, mixed with the sword light reflected by the long sword, revealing a sense of killing intent.
"Huh...... Who's afraid of whom, give it to me!"
Ling Mo smiled arrogantly and confronted Yu'er.
"The poor monk saw that they were about to fight, so he hurriedly came forward to dissuade them, unexpectedly, ......"
The attendant monk said, sighing deeply.
