fast and ferocious

Chapter 72

Qin Wubing nodded and said:

"The monk said that when they were collecting firewood, those branches scraped the ground, exposing the dead's rotten fingers, which means that these corpses were not buried deep. !"

"So you ask who will deliver the meat and who will deliver the wine?" Prince Xiang asked with a smile.

"Yes, I did smell the smell of meat and wine in Tiantai Temple. I didn't pay attention to it at the time. I wanted to come to the old monk, no, uncle, grandpa, and it's not right. Uncle Qi, oops, he is a monk who is afraid that he will show it to others, and he will not leave. Wine and meat, as long as the Buddha doesn't blame him, no one else can say anything..."

"Get down to business!" Lin Huai reminded him in a low voice beside him.

"What I'm talking about is business! Since the old man is not stingy with meat and vegetables, it is impossible for him to eat only one kind of meat. Wuzhou is not far from the sea, so fish and shrimp must be given away. These things, as well as wine, how much can you eat?" To cover up the smell of rotting corpses, the guards know what the old man likes, and only then can he pass that level!"

"Why can't it be killed and buried in the back mountain?" Lin Huai asked with a frown.

Qin Wubing didn't bother to explain to him, but just as he was about to continue, Chen Tuiguan spoke patiently:

"The time when the monk discovered the bones was about a month from the time when the deceased was murdered, and during this month, the weather was not very cold, and the monks would still go to the back mountain. There is a great chance to find a body that has not decomposed. This is not a murderer. I wanted to see it, so after the corpse rotted, it was transported to the back mountain for burial, and then arranged to send less firewood, and the monks went to the back mountain to collect firewood, and even found the bones, all under the control of the murderer."

Lin Huai pretended to understand and nodded, then asked, "How do you know it takes more than a month for the corpse to rot?"

"How do you know that stabbing a knife into a person's heart can kill someone?" Qin Wubing asked angrily.

"Is not this nonsensical?"

"Yes, what you asked is also nonsense!"

"You never thought that they bribed the guards?" Prince Xiang interrupted the quarrel that had just started.

"I've thought about it! But the guard is not alone. I always think that one person's mouth is easy to seal, but two are also fine. If there are too many, it will be difficult to seal!"

Prince Xiang nodded and said: "That is to say, those two shop owners are very problematic..."

Lin Huai said anxiously: "Since I think there is something wrong with those two guys, I should keep them just now!"

"It's not too late now." Prince Xiang glanced at Dexi.

However, Chen Tuiguan asked: "The people responsible for guarding the front and back mountains of Tiantai Temple must be different. Even if they can pass the first level, how will they pass the next level? They can't blatantly carry the corpse to the back mountain, right?"

"First of all, I don't think all these corpses were sent to the back mountain for burial in one day. They couldn't transport so many corpses at the same time! It's too smelly! And burying eleven corpses at the same time can't be done quickly. I deduce that there are so many corpses. In two or three days, some shops are frequented. I asked the monks if there is a proof of the time of delivery and receipt. They said that they have given it to the government office, and I haven't had time to look at it..."

"That's right!" Chen Tuiguan clapped his hands: "Based on the degree of decay of the bones, we can deduce the approximate time of burial..."

"The monks were found on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month. If three or four corpses are transported a day, it will take three days. Based on this, we can introduce a category and find out which merchants have delivered goods to Tiantai Temple in those few days!"

"How do you know that when the monk found the corpse, it just happened to be buried in the back mountain?" Lin Huai asked.

Qin Wubing ignored Lin Huai, but looked at Prince Xiang with piercing eyes and said:

"The eleven corpses are all men, but they were deliberately made into five men, five women and a child, and that child is actually a dwarf!"

Prince Xiang stood up abruptly and asked, "Has it been verified?"

"Yes!"

"Why do I become more and more confused the more I listen? You said in the morning that they might all be men, and now you have a dwarf!" Lin Huai scratched his head anxiously.

Guo Yi suddenly pushed the door open and came in, and immediately realized that there was no communication, he wanted to leave again, Lord Xiang waved his hand and said: "Now I remember the rules, come in and stand on the side!"

Qin Wubing smiled at Guo Yi, then turned to Prince Xiang and said:

"Let's take a look at it first. The murderer killed someone and changed his clothes and put it aside. When the body is almost rotten, he will use various means to bury it in the back mountain. At this time, the person who has been delivering firewood on time suddenly stopped. The monks in the temple I had no choice but to go to the back mountain to collect firewood, and found the bones. Later, Mr. Song, the governor of the government, tried the case himself. Perhaps because of the serious decay of the corpse, he didn't examine the bones carefully, let alone the place where the corpse was buried. Speaking of which, do you have any? A feeling?"

Qin Wubing looked around for a week: "The murderer can count every step! The murderer not only knows Tiantai Temple very well, but also knows the character of Songfu Yin..."

"What about Master Xu?" Chen Tuiguan asked nervously.

Qin Wubing shook his head and said: "I don't know if the murderer is familiar with Mr. Xu. It is reasonable to say that Mr. Xie sent someone to investigate the case himself, because it has been a while, and I am afraid that it is difficult to directly investigate the case." Find clues."

"You can't either?" Lin Huai asked with staring eyes.

"I thought that the person who sent the firewood was suspicious, so he died! I thought that sending meat and wine can be mixed with sending corpses, but this is only the first level. Chen Tuiguan was right just now. How are they going to go to Houshan?" ? I haven't figured it out yet."

"No rush!" Prince Xiang said in a pleasant manner, "I've been waiting for these times, it's not too late, you go to the government office first, the body of the person who delivered the firewood should arrive soon, check it, maybe there will be clues! Wait The person who delivered wine and meat was brought here, and I will order someone to call you again!"

Qin Wubing bowed in response, turned around and was about to leave, hesitated for a while before turning around and asking: "This case may take some time, the case of the loss of He Dao Bank may be..."

Prince Xiang stood up, walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and after a long time he sighed and said:
"It's a good idea to control the river, but without money, everything is empty talk! If you get a little from the salt merchants, you can put it in Jiangnan province, but what about other places? Besides, if it is cured this year, it will be decided next year." , is it possible to use this method again? Alas, there are many disadvantages, and we need to do it one by one! I want to find some great Confucian scholars to teach scriptures and studies, it is easy to find! There are as many as you want! If you don’t tell lies, you can do practical things Official, it's easier said than done! There are three things at home, so let's start with the tight ones!"

Several people were confused and didn't understand what Prince Xiang meant when he answered the wrong question, but Prince Xiang waved his hand, and several people quickly left the room.
