Chapter 8: The Murderer

After a few mouthfuls of noodles, they walked towards the square in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yuanxin's lecture has also ended, and he has received a retribution, and he is already waiting on the field. The people who heard the sermon gathered around the door, and when they heard that the officials had found out the person who had stolen the relics, they wanted to see what was done.

When Lu Kang saw Qin Lei and the others coming, he didn't smile, and said, "I didn't expect that Qin Zhutou had already found the Buddha treasure in just one hour, and he really deserved the name of God Hunting!"

Qin Lei ignored him, and Su Zhuo said, "We didn't find the relics, but we know who took them!"

Lu Kang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Oh, who stole it?"

Yuan Xin said: "Yes, please let the donor tell the old man quickly, so as to calm everyone's hearts!"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "The one who stole the relics is Hui Ke, who serves the abbot's master's daily life!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone talked about it, and they didn't believe that it was Hui Ke who stole the Buddha treasure. Yuanxin gasped and muttered, "Hui Ke, I think it's been a long time since I've seen him, isn't it ......?"

Su Zhuo said again: "Hui Ke not only stole the Buddha's bone relics, but also killed the ascetic Zen master!"

Yuan Xin said "ah", dumbfounded, and hurriedly said: "Master Su, please make your words clear!"

Su Zhuo nodded, and as soon as Qin Lei waved his hand to Wang Fan, a catcher brought a tray and covered it with a white cloth. Qin Lei stretched out his hand to uncover the white cloth, only to see that there was a human head on the tray! The head had no hair, and its face was also scratched. Since the head had been buried in the wet soil, it had begun to rot and emit a foul smell. The smell of rot and blood drifted away in the wind, and although it was still spring, it attracted a few flies, which flew around the skull.

The people on the periphery couldn't help but exclaim, and the few people who approached were even more startled. Yuanxin closed his eyes and kept chanting Buddha in his mouth. Su Qin hid behind Ling Shuang, shivering.

Su Shu said: "Abbot Yuanxin, do you still recognize who this is?"

Yuan Xin stepped forward to take a look and exclaimed, "This ...... Isn't this a sexual awakening brother?"

Qin Lei said loudly: "Yesterday morning, I received a report that a headless corpse was found by the river. The skull was dug up next to the mountain spring outside the temple, and the hemp rope boulder used for the sunken corpse was also found under the water. We speculate that the human head is the body of the headless corpse. The deceased is none other than the Zen Master of Sexuality!"

Yuan Xin said: "But Senior Brother Xingjue left the day before yesterday, why...... Why did it end up like this? Actually...... Unexpectedly, this murderer is in a different place...... The murderer is really ...... Extremely vicious, unforgivable!"

Su Zhuo said: "The Zen Master of Xingjue was going to leave the day before yesterday, so he will naturally take away the Buddha bone relics that belong to him." And Hui Keping is a little greedy and cheap, and he has long coveted the relics, so he is naturally unwilling to be taken away like this. So Hui Ke killed the Zen master of Xingjue the night before, and then in order to avoid being known by others, he cut off the head of Xingjue and sank his body to the bottom of the water. ”

Speaking of this, Hui Zhi suddenly interjected: "Oh! No wonder I saw Senior Brother Hui Ke sneaking out of the West Gate in the middle of the night the night before yesterday, it turned out to be a ...... Do this ......"

Yuan Xin's eyes widened and said, "You...... Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Hui Zhi said: "At that time...... I don't know...... He ......"

Su Zhuo continued: "Hui Ke thought that all this was seamless, because Xingjue was an ascetic, wandering everywhere and his whereabouts were uncertain. Since he had said that he was leaving, his sudden disappearance would not arouse the suspicion of the monks in the monastery. It's a pity that people are not as good as the sky, when he sank the corpse, because of panic, he couldn't tie the hemp rope tightly, and the spring water was urgent, causing the body to drift down the mountain spring to the river, and was found. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Fan presented a wet hemp rope and said: "Su Gongzi is right, this rope was found from the bottom of the water, one end is tied to a stone, and the other end of the rope buckle is loose!"

Su Zhuo said again: "Hui Ke must have heard the news of the headless corpse yesterday, so he naturally knows what is going on. So he took advantage of the night to steal the relics and walked away. Hui Ke has the key to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in his hand and can open the lock on the door. This is why there is no sign of destruction of the main hall. ”

Everyone woke up as if from a dream, but Ling Shuang wondered: "If it is really Hui Ke who killed someone, then where is the murder weapon? and where is his bloodstained clothes hidden?"

Su Zhuo said: "Do you remember the neatly stacked set of clothes we saw on Hui Ke's bed? I touched it with my hands, it was just dried, it must have been the clothes he was wearing when he committed the murder, and then washed overnight." As for the murder weapon...... he pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe Hui Ke still has it on his body and took it away......"

Qin Lei and Ling Shuang both heard that Su Zhuo's words were not very convinced, and obviously they were not sure. Ling Shuang asked again, "Brother Su, why are you so sure that it must have been Hui Ke's doing?"

Su Zhuo said: "There are three reasons, first, Hui Ke disappeared for no reason, and it was at such a delicate time, which cannot but make people suspicious. Moreover, he was the only one who had the key to open the temple door, which made him even more suspicious. Second, Hui Ke did not live with other monks, which also gave him the opportunity to commit crimes without being discovered. Thirdly, and most importantly, Hui Ke is left-handed!"

Qin Lei and Ling Shuang exclaimed, "Really?" The others didn't understand what this had to do with left-handers.

Su Zhuo said: "We have all examined the corpse and know that the fatal wound of the deceased is the knife wound in the back. The knife was stabbed by a left-hander. The bowl of noodles in Hui Ke's room, the chopsticks are placed on the left-hand side. That convinced me that Hui Ke was a left-hander!"

Everyone suddenly realized and talked about it, all of them praised Su Zhuo's wit and cursed Hui Ke for being mad. Yuan Xin said: "Amitabha, Lord Su Shi is really witty and sensitive! If it weren't for Lord Su Shi to find out the truth, we would still be in the dark! Please accept the old man's gift!"

Su Zhuo smiled and hurriedly helped him. Yuanxing said again: "Hui Ke, this evil obstacle actually committed such a heinous crime, he really deserves to go to hell! As the presiding abbot, I have the responsibility of supervising and disciplining laxity, and I can't escape the blame!" he bowed his head and recited the Buddha, and he couldn't help but repent.

Lu Kang smiled at Su Zhuo: "I didn't expect you kid to have a bit of a way." Now as long as Hui Ke is found, he can find the Buddha Treasure!"

Qin Lei said to Su Zhuo: "I'll let someone issue a donation warrant, draw a picture of Hui Ke, and be sure to arrest him as soon as possible!"

Su Zhuo nodded, but Ling Shuang said, "As of this moment, Hui Ke has disappeared for at least a day and night, but I am afraid that he has already run out of the city, where are you going to chase this?"

Qin Lei was stunned for a moment, and looked at Su Zhuo, hoping that he could come up with a way. Su Zhuo pondered for a moment and asked Yuan Xin, "Who is Hui Ke?"

Yuan Xin replied: "Hui Ke became a monk at a very young age, and it seems that the layman used to be ...... Qiantang ......"

Su Zhuo said: "Hui Ke has been a monk since he was a child, and it seems that he has nowhere else to go except to his hometown. Qin Zhutou, you try to chase in the southeast direction. ”

Qin Lei replied: "Okay, I'll do it! In addition, this skull and hemp rope have to go back to find a pair to compare before they can enter the certificate." Let's go first!"
