Chapter 7 The Monk of Pending Orders

Su Zhuo smiled and shook his head, Qin Leiwu was excited, and explained to Ling Shuang, who was full of suspicion, "The shirt on that headless corpse is exactly the same as this one, and it is a monk. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It just so happened that Hui Ke suddenly disappeared for no reason, and the comparison between the two means that the deceased is Hui Ke!"

The two little monks, Huizhi and Huikong, were panicked when they heard this, and said in a trembling voice: "What! Senior Brother Huike...... Dead?"

Su Zhuo said: "I didn't say that the headless corpse is Hui Ke. ”

Qin Lei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Isn't this all what you said?" and show me this shirt." ”

Su Zhuo said: "I asked you to see this clothes, it is true that the headless corpse has something to do with Renji Temple, but although the clothes on the deceased are damaged, they are brand new. And Hui Ke's dress has been washed many times, and it is an old garment. And you see, this dress is relatively wide, which shows that Hui Ke is slightly fat, while the deceased is skinny. Thirdly, Hui Ke is a young man, and the deceased is not young, how can it be Hui Ke?"

Qin Lei opened his mouth and stammered, and Ling Shuang couldn't help but snicker on the side. Qin Lei felt bored, and asked rhetorically, "Then who do you say is that headless corpse? Where did this Hui Ke run away?"

Su Zhuo frowned and was silent, and Ling Shuang interjected: "It stands to reason that Hui Ke is in charge of the key to the main hall, and the theft of the relics must have nothing to do with him, maybe he absconded in fear of crime!"

Su Zhuo didn't draw a conclusion, turned around and saw a tray on the table next to him, on which was a small porcelain bowl, and the somen noodles in the bowl were already cold and dried into lumps. On the left side of the bowl was a pair of exquisite bamboo chopsticks, but a small spoon was broken on one side, and half of the spoon handle was broken.

Su Zhuo said strangely: "This side has been put on for a long time, which means that Hui Ke has not come back at least overnight!"

Qin Lei said: "Could it be that Hui Ke guarded and stole the Buddha bone relics?"

Hui Zhi hesitated: "No, although Senior Brother Hui Ke is a little greedy on weekdays, he is not very bold, so he is not very good at doing this kind of thing......

Qin Lei said: "What do you know, this kind of person doesn't commit crimes on weekdays, and if he wants to do it, he will do an earth-shattering case!"

Su Zhuo nodded slightly, and said, "In the morning, you found that the door of the main hall was not opened, but you were not suspicious, which means that the main hall has not been damaged." ”

Huizhi said: "That's right, everything in the hall is the same, nothing has been moved, but the relics are missing." ”

Su Zhuo said: "But this relic has been in the temple for so long, why does Hui Ke want to steal it now? Why didn't he start before?"

Ling Shuang said: "This relic has only recently been admired by the **** people in the temple, and I haven't heard of it before......

Su Zhuo interrupted him and said, "Recently, the Buddha bone relics are not the treasures of Renji Temple, why has no one ever told me?"

Qin Lei and Ling Shuang looked at each other and said, "So you don't know, we thought you already knew!"

Hui Zhi also said: "The relics are indeed not treasures in the temple, but brought by an ascetic monk who came to place an order half a month ago, and placed them in the temple for Jinling believers to pay respects to." ”

Su Zhuo muttered, "Ascetic, where is that master now?"

Huizhi shook his head and looked at Huikong, who also shook his head. Su Zhuo seemed to understand something, turned to Qin Lei and said, "Have you noticed when you entered the temple that the mountain spring I said happened to flow outside the temple. You ask people to look around there and see if there's anything to be gained. ”

Qin Lei also guessed what he meant, and went out to make arrangements. Su Zhuo looked at the sky, it was already past noon, but everyone had not eaten yet, and their stomachs were already screaming with hunger, so he asked, "Isn't there still food in your temple?"

Hui Zhi said: "Today, because the abbot is still lecturing, everyone is not good at eating, and it is estimated that they will have to wait for half an hour." If you are hungry, I can take you to the dining hall for some vegetarian fasting. ”

Ling Shuang said: "Su Zhuo, if you are hungry, we will go down the mountain to eat, why bother others?"

Su Zhuo said with a smile: "How can there be a reason to enter the temple and not eat! This meal must be eaten." ”

Ling Shuang was dumbfounded and scolded: "What kind of crooked theory is this? I have only heard of burning incense when entering the temple, but I have never heard of eating when entering the temple!"

Su Zhuo ignored him and walked out with a smile. There is a long corridor outside the door of the meditation room that leads to a large room. Su Zhuo asked, "What kind of house is that?"

Huizhi replied, "That is the abbot's abode." ”

Su Zhuo let out an "oh", looked down, and suddenly saw a small piece of broken porcelain under the railing on the side of the corridor, which was really difficult to find if he didn't look carefully. Su Zhuo bent down to pick it up, frowned and thought about it, but he didn't think of anything, so he put the porcelain piece into the cuff.

Several people met Qin Lei outside the courtyard, and Qin Lei said: "I have already arranged it, let them search carefully, if there is anything, they will definitely not be able to escape!"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Let's go, let's eat!"

Qin Lei was stunned for a moment, but still followed. A few people came to the dining hall, only to see that it was deserted inside, and there were really few people. Hui Zhi said: "The donor will sit down for a while, and I will inform you." ”

Su Zhuo followed him to the back kitchen and saw a fat monk busy with his work. Hui Zhi said: "Senior Brother Huiqing, the benefactors that the abbot has confessed are here, you can get some food first!"

Hui Qing didn't turn his head, and said loudly: "It's going to be right away!"

Su Zhuo said: "How many people's meals does the little master have to cook?"

Huiqing looked back, didn't know him, frowned slightly, and replied: "There are one hundred and twenty-eight people in the whole temple!"

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "It's really hard!

Huiqing laughed and said: "Don't worry, the abbot has explained, there will be a few donors who will fast at noon in a few days, and I am ready!"

Su Zhuo suddenly asked, "Is there the master who placed orders among the one hundred and twenty-eight people?"

Hui Qing said: "You mean that Zen master of sexual enlightenment? He has only hung up the order for half a month, and he has already left two days ago. ”

Su Zhuo suddenly felt strange and muttered, "Gone?"

Su Zhuo groaned for a while and sat back beside Qin Lei. Qin Lei asked, "Brother Su, what do you think of?"

Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Wait for your people to find the head buried by the river!"

As he was talking, Wang Fan ran in with a gust of wind, saw Qin Lei's face, didn't have time to catch his breath, and said, "Qin catches the head, the head!

Qin Lei slapped the table and said, "Master Su, you are really a god! How do you know that the head of the deceased must be buried by the river?"

Su Zhuo said lightly: "I don't know, I happened to guess it." ”

Qin Lei was stunned for a moment, and Ling Shuang smiled: "What's so difficult about this? Even if you deduce that the murderer threw the corpse by this mountain spring, as long as he is not a frequent perpetrator, then it is very likely that he will bury his head by the river where the corpse was dumped." Because if you go to another place to bury it, not only does it not conform to the murderer's nervous psychology, but also increases the risk of being seen. ”

As he was talking, Huizhi and several monks brought a few bowls of somen noodles and put them in front of the others, and the bamboo chopsticks and soup spoons were all ready. Su Zhuo glanced at the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "So that's the case, it seems that it's time to close the case!"
