Chapter 61: Clues

The incident soon alarmed Gao Jing, Du Yi personally named him, and several people at home went to Baoguo Temple together.

Among them, of course, also includes Zhou Ang.

This was the first time that he participated in the specific affairs of the yamen as a clerk of the county Zhu Yamen.

It's a pity that he can't ride a horse, and no one takes care of him, so everyone else rode directly to Baoguo Temple, and Zhou Ang stayed behind, and together with the other Yanai soldiers, walked quickly.

When they arrived at Baoguo Temple, the sun had completely set down the mountain, and many torches were lit inside and outside Baoguo Temple. Not only the people led by Guo Yuan, but even the guards of Zhongyifang had already been mobilized, and even when Zhou Ang arrived at the scene of the crime, he found that another important member of the county, the county lieutenant Hu Lian, was also there. And when Du Yi introduced him in a low voice, he also pointed out another "acquaintance" to him by the way.

Xu Zhong, one of the three canons of Lingzhou County.

At this time, all the people in the temple were detained, and none of them were allowed to leave.

Two people died, a monk and a pilgrim—said to be a pilgrim, but in fact he was staying at an inn in Baoguo Temple—but unfortunately, he was still a scholar, and according to his companions, they came here to meet his friends.

There were also a few knocked down and the like, some minor injuries, but none of them were the point.

According to Du Yi, it is impossible to determine whether it is a monster or not, but if it is not a monster, it should be a cultivator.

The methods of killing are fierce and skillful.

In a moment, the painter had already painted the portrait of the criminal on the spot according to the description of the others.

He was a middle-aged man about seven feet long and bearded, said to be in his early thirties.

Since the other party is not an ordinary person, this case obviously belongs to the jurisdiction of the county Zhu Yamen, so soon after Zhou Ang and the others arrived, they saw Gao Jing and Hu Lian discussing a few words in a low voice, and then Hu Lian beckoned his soldiers to retreat first, leaving only a pair of soldiers for the county Zhu Yamen to urgently call and blockade.

Zhou Ang deliberately went over to observe the corpse.

It's going to be a little disgusting.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and the intestines of the fat monk had already come out.

He was stabbed twice, one in the heart and one in the lower abdomen, and the scholar directly cut his throat.

To tell the truth, Zhou Ang, a layman, can't see anything.

As soon as he looked up, he found that there was actually a person standing on the roof, and he was stunned for a moment before he saw that it should be Wei Ci's figure, so his heart moved, and he entered a state of visualization at that time.

"Night vision" and "visualization state" make everything around us clear and visible.

But he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

After a while, Wei Ci jumped down from the roof, so Gao Jing took the lead, and everyone gathered together to listen to Wei Ci say: "The incense here is too strong, and it is really impossible to identify whether there is demonic energy." ”

Gao Jing nodded slowly, and wanted to speak, but he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Ang, and saw that Zhou Ang's face was calm and did not say anything, so he said: "It was bluffed out by Guo Yuan, as soon as I heard that it was someone from the county Zhu Yamen, who came to search, the other party immediately ran away, it can be seen that he knows us very well! Whether he is a human or a demon, it can be seen that he should be a 'habitual offender'!"

Du Yi said: "Guo Yuan has already taken someone to search, but it's getting late, I'm afraid it's not easy to find." In addition......"

Before he could finish speaking, Gao Jing interrupted directly and said, "Then you have to find it ......too! You are responsible for leading people to interrogate these people in the temple one by one, and make sure to find out all the details. ”

When Wei Ci heard this, he replied: "No!"

But at this time, Du Yi said again: "It is necessary to investigate in the temple, but the county wishes, it is already dark at this time, if we conduct a large-scale investigation in a few nearby squares, the news will inevitably leak quickly, so I am afraid that rumors will spread in the city tomorrow, and the people will panic!"

After a pause, he said again: "The saying that there is a murderous Jiangyang thief in the city is not bad, but the rumors will be uncontrollable, and it may be spread to what it will be." When the time comes, I'm afraid that the county will also come to hold them accountable. If people can't catch it for a long time, it won't be easy to finish. ”

Gao Jing was silent for a moment when he heard this, but in the end, he still sighed and said, "Okay! Send an order to Guo Yuan, let him take back the team, and concentrate on investigating Baoguo Temple first! Let the painter paint a few more portraits of that person, and everyone will have one for each person, so that those monks will be wide-eyed and recognized!"

Du Yi bowed down to receive the order, "No!"

............

The monks of Baoguo Temple were all confined in two large courtyards, and only a few were selected to lead the way, and Liu Rui and others were taken to check each hall and courtyard in the temple one by one. The "pilgrims" who live here are also kept in the courtyard and are not allowed to let anyone out.

There are monks and Taoists in the imperial court, responsible for the management of Buddhist temples and nunnery, some of the more famous temples, treasure temples, famous temples, and the person who presides over it must even be the "mention" of the imperial court's canonization, the card is relatively large, it is directly an official, and those who come and go are wealthy families, even royal, and it is by no means a Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen who dares to move, but Baoguo Temple is not good.

Don't look at Baoguo Temple is recognized as the largest temple in Lingzhou, but they have not developed for many years, the real official face has not reached much high, and no matter how good the business is, no matter how timely the filial piety is, there is no master abbot here, Buddhism is not ranked at all in the country, so it is an ordinary local temple, Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen wants to pinch them, and they can only suffer obediently.

What's more, there is a homicide now.

Gao Jing's county gave an order, and the temple was sealed, and the No. 1200 great monk was solemn on weekdays, but at this moment he could only squeeze into two courtyards, waiting for interrogation.

Even the abbot of Baoguo Temple, whose biggest face at this time, was only given a stool at the gate of the courtyard, so that he could sit and watch the monks be tried.

Several martial arts masters followed the route where the murderer jumped over the wall and fled, and quietly searched and investigated along the road, but Guo Yuan's brigade was collected instead, and Gao Jing sat on a chair in front of the hall and watched.

Du Yi and Wei Ci were interrogated separately in two groups.

As usual, there was no errand for Zhou Ang.

Suddenly, Zhou Ang walked out of the crowd in the courtyard one after another to wait for trial, and saw a group of people who were not wearing monk's robes, two of them were big men, who looked very conspicuous.

He suddenly stepped down the steps, pressed his sword in his left hand, and walked over.

The father and son of the Lu family discovered Zhou Ang for the first time and looked at it with some surprise.

Glimpsing that the painter over there happened to draw another portrait of a murderer, he picked it up, walked over, beckoned to the Lu family's father and son, and said, "Lu Chunsheng, come here!"

Lu Chunsheng looked at the guards and saw that they didn't react, so he walked over cautiously, his body arched, looking like his heart was falling, and he whispered, "I've seen the young master." ”

Zhou Ang shook the portrait in his hand, faced the direction of the torch, and asked, "Have you dealt with it?"

Lu Chunsheng shook his head, but soon, he looked around, leaned over in a low voice, and said, "Young Master, I have seen him twice in our workshop." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Ang also whispered.

Lu Chunsheng said again: "I didn't care about it, but when I saw this person facing the vicious, walking a little dodgy, I took a look at it, and I almost forgot about it in a blink of an eye, but I suddenly found that he entered the Baoguo Temple, and then I remembered it again, until this afternoon, I heard that he killed someone, and suddenly remembered it." ”

Zhou Ang nodded, his mind racing.

He called Lu Chunsheng over, this was not his intention, he simply took advantage of this moment that he had no errands anyway, so he wanted to take advantage of this occasion to scare the monks in the temple and help the Lu family father and son lift it easily. But he didn't want to pretend to ask, Lu Chunsheng had really seen this person.

This is very important information!

After a pause, he asked quietly, "Do you still remember which courtyard he went in and out of?"

Lu Chunsheng frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "I probably remember." ”

Zhou Ang nodded and said, "Very good." Come with me later!" After that, he suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Which one is Zheng Tu?" - this sentence was what he was going to ask.

Lu Chunsheng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned his head and pointed back.

Zhou Ang immediately strode over.

A guy who looked to be around thirty years old, wearing a coarse cloth half-arm on his upper body, shining a torch, similar to Lu Chunsheng, swaying.

This person saw that Lu Chunsheng was called by an official to whisper, and his heart had begun to be timid, and at this time, seeing that the official named himself, Lu Chunsheng pointed at himself, and immediately his legs were weak, and when he saw Zhou Ang stepping over, his body suddenly wanted to sift the chaff.

"Official...... Official...... Officials, I have seen officials. ”

"Are you Zheng Tu?"

"It's the villain. ”

"I heard that you are a good kung fu, and even the father and son of the Lu family are not your opponents?"

"Uh...... Belch...... Small, small, small...... Villain...... Don't dare to ...... and, and ......"

Zhou Ang saw his appearance, he already knew what kind of goods he was, and he didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he still pressed the sword with one hand, and said: "I'm idle another day, ask Lu Chunsheng to call you and accompany me to practice the sword!"

"Uh...... Belch...... Villain ......"

But Zhou Ang didn't pay attention to him at all, turned around and went back after speaking, beckoned Lu Chunsheng to Gao Jing's side together, and whispered about the situation just now.

Gao Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "This matter is true?"

Zhou Ang said: "This is my old neighbor, my two families have been friends for many years, and his words are absolutely credible." ”

Gao Jing pondered for a moment, Huo Ran got up, beckoned a soldier, and said, "Go, call me back all the people who were scattered!"

Then he interrupted Du Yi and Wei Ci, called them over, and relayed what Zhou Ang said just now, and then did not discuss it, and directly ordered: "Since that person has settled in Wansui Fang, maybe there is some collusion." At this moment, he fled in a hurry, and it is very likely that he will go over and settle down for the time being. ”

"Next, Ziyi will continue to bring people to stay here for interrogation and investigation, I will personally bring people, Ziyu, you will also come, except for Ziyi, just a few of our cultivators, go to the place where he once lived to find out!"

When everyone heard this, they agreed in unison.
