Chapter 13: Solving the Case
The day passed quickly, and Liu Changqing turned the entire Dajue Temple several times, knowing every corner well, just waiting for the night to come.
In the evening, the young abbot accompanied Liu Changqing to have a fast meal, saying that he would go to the evening class first, and then come over to negotiate the matter of welcoming the golden body of the Buddha, Liu Changqing hurriedly said that he was not in a hurry, and he could not disturb the master's practice.
After the abbot left, the monk sent Liu Changqing back to the guest room and left. Liu Changqing waited for a moment before taking off his brocade robe, revealing a night robe inside, putting on a mask, gently pushing open the window, jumping out, and going straight to the independent room he saw during the day.
Liu Changqing came to the outside of the independent room like a ghost, and the candlelight flickered inside, and the figure of a monk was reflected in the window, it was the young abbot. Liu Changqing held his breath, pierced the window paper, and looked into the room.
Then the young abbot took the candlestick in his hand, slowly walked to the bed side of the room, sat down, and put the candlestick on the table. By the faint light of the candle, Liu Changqing saw a person lying on the bed, but he didn't move, even if the abbot sat down.
"Chu Chu, why are you so stupid? Why don't I want you? But I'm the abbot, I can't marry a wife and have children, if it weren't for your strong desire to marry me and give birth to a child, I wouldn't have killed you by mistake!"
Liu Changqing was shocked in his heart, the county lord of Chuchu died? or was beaten to death by a lewd monk, listening to him say this, it seems that the county lord was pregnant with the abbot's child before his death, this is going to spread out Whether it is Dajue Temple or Muwangfu, it will not be able to face and accept, and the reputation of Dajue Temple and Muwangfu will be ruined, but who cares about that poor woman, even the family doesn't know if she dies, and the resentment in her heart can be imagined. Thinking of the attitude of the Muwang Mansion, it is obvious that the Muwang Mansion already knows that the county lord of Chuchu is pregnant, but he is unwilling to admit and expose it, but it is better to die outside cleanly.
The abbot chattered for a long time, it was nothing more than the pleasant experience of the two of them before, Liu Changqing was too lazy to listen, and went back as soon as possible to bring someone over and arrest him. However, there is one thing that must be done before leaving, which is to patronize the account office of Dajue Temple.
Liu Changqing immediately went straight to the account room after leaving the independent room, completely ignoring that the abbot in the room stopped talking, and looked in the direction where Liu Changqing left with a gloomy face, while the person on the bed sat up abruptly and threw himself into his arms. "Brother, let's go, I haven't seen you want to kill me for a day!"
Liu Changqing quickly came to the outside of the account room, the door of the account room was locked, and there was not a single warrior monk, could it be that there was no need to guard it if there were no tourists at night? Time was pressing, Liu Changqing didn't have time to think about it, took out a metal wire thread, stretched it into the lock, and opened the door lock in a few clicks. As a fast catcher, the three religions and nine streams are all in contact, and they naturally learn some special skills.
Pushing open the door of the account room, Liu Changqing did not rush in, but reached out and touched it gently, and sure enough, he touched a few transparent silk threads, and he couldn't see it if he didn't pay attention. Liu Changqing dodged the silk thread and went straight to the treasury silver, where the one thousand taels of sesame oil silver tickets he had just handed over were lying on it, as well as other thousands of taels of silver tickets and several gold bars, Liu Changqing unceremoniously put them in his arms and floated away.
The rest is easy to do, a large number of arrests poured into Dajue Temple, Liu Changqing directly led people to a separate room, and found the body of the county lord of Chuchu, but what made him strange was that the young abbot also committed suicide in that room. The matter of the adulterous ** girl in Dajue Temple and the killing of the lord of Chuchu County was announced to the world, and the entire state capital was in an uproar, and those women who went to ask for children were ashamed and embarrassed, and were divorced by their husbands, but those who had already given birth to children could only swallow their anger.
Taishoufu claimed to the outside world that it was the lord of Chuchu who went to Dajue Temple to offer incense, and was coveted by the abbot for his beauty and wanted to be humiliated, but he was brutally killed by the abbot during the dispute, and the abbot was also afraid of the government's investigation, and committed suicide in fear of crime. There was such a big thing in Dajue Temple, the whole temple was confiscated, collected from the national treasury, and waited for other temples to send people to reopen.
A bizarre case was solved the day after Liu Changqing took office, and the mansion was in a good mood, and specially rewarded Liu Changqing with two hundred taels of silver, but Liu Changqing divided all the two hundred taels of silver to the catcher who was on duty that day, and the two team leaders were twenty taels each, and the rest were eight taels each, so that the public catcher was regarded as the God of Wealth. As everyone knows, Liu Changqing harvested more than 9,000 taels of silver and 100 taels of gold in the process of handling the case this time.
On the second day after Liu Changqing solved the case, Muwangfu sent someone to send a plaque, on which was written the title of "Muzhou's No. 1 Divine Catch", and sent five hundred taels of silver. For a time, the title of "Liu Changqing Divine Capture" spread throughout the Muzhou Prefecture, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.
Of course, five hundred taels of silver will not be used to catch the crowd quickly, but it is still very necessary to have a meal of water and wine, and in just a few days, Liu Changqing's prestige among the crowd catchers has increased to an unprecedented height, and He Youliang and Gui Changhe have no intention of competing for the head catcher.
But Liu Changqing was always weird in his heart, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason, so he didn't think about it. What made him feel relieved was that the little boy he had given money had found his place to live, and he had to stay and help him take care of the house, taking care of him, so that he could not smile bitterly, and a five or six-year-old child could still take care of himself? But seeing the child's sincere eyes, he could not refuse, so he agreed with the boy that the boy would come to the house once a day to clean up, and Liu Changqing would pay 20 yuan at a time and take care of a meal. The little boy happily agreed.
Time passed day by day, and the matter of Dajue Temple became the talk of everyone after dinner, and gradually faded out of people's sight and was forgotten by people. On this day, Liu Changqing had nothing to do, walking around the street in a fast hunting suit, holding a string of sugar gourds in his hand, eating it fragrantly, and suddenly smelling the familiar musk fragrance in his nose!
Liu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look around, there were a total of five people passing by, one was selling fish, and the blood would cover up the musky smell, it wouldn't be him; one was selling stinky tofu, and it shouldn't be, and there were two women, talking and laughing, and smiling at himself when he passed by, showing a shy expression, hiding his face and leaving, definitely not. The last one was an old man, who had already walked out a few steps at this time, and his expression was hurried, and the direction was outside the city.
Liu Changqing threw out the sugar gourd and chased after the man closely.
Liu Changqing thought that his foot strength was good, but he followed the man all the way out of the city gate, but he couldn't catch up, the man seemed to have discovered him, and he kept a distance of more than 20 zhang, no matter how hard Liu Changqing tried, he couldn't catch up.
The two of them walked more than ten miles one after the other, and came to the edge of a forest, the person in front suddenly stopped, turned around, and Liu Changqing also rushed to the person three feet in front of him to stand still.
However, Liu Changqing was disappointed, the man's face was an old man in his fifties, but what was the matter with the musk scent?
"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person!" Liu Changqing said with a fist, turning around and leaving, since he is not the person he imagined, there is no need to follow others, which makes people misunderstand, after all, he is wearing a fast trapping suit.
