Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 4
Wannian County's autopsy results came out soon.According to the depth and direction of the wound, combined with the blood on the screen, it can be determined that the murderer is undoubtedly left-handed.According to the on-site inspection, none of the furniture has been moved or damaged, and there are no traces of footprints inside or outside the house.Now not only the Wannian County Government, but soon the streets and alleys of Chang'an City knew that the famous prostitute in Beili had died tragically. It was probably another addition to the serial murder case, and people couldn't help feeling panic for a while.

It turns out that between the eighth and ninth years of Wenguang, a total of five women died in Chang'an City. Their identities and backgrounds were not the same, and the government did not find any valuable clues.The reason why it was judged as a serial killing was because the necks and throats of the five women were all murdered from behind, and they were left-handed.Every time the murderer kills, he does so silently, and no gods or ghosts know about it, so he must have some kung fu.Since the motive is unknown and there are no witnesses, these cases have become unsolved cases and have not been solved so far.

After two years, the murderer came out to commit crimes again, why?How did he choose Zhao Qiuji?

After several investigations in Wannian County, there was no clue, and the case quickly reached a stalemate.If there are no new clues, this will become an unsolved case again.But five days later, Murong Ke unexpectedly brought Bai Sanxiu to the door.

"Sanxiu has found some information, I think you should listen to it."

Li Quan asked someone to serve some refreshments, and asked calmly, "Are you being soft-spoken again?"

"Hey hey hey, she said she would give me snacks for a year."

Murong Ke winked at Bai Sanxiu, and Bai Sanxiu hurriedly said: "I dare to disturb Li Sizhi and Mr. Murong. I came to Chang'an from other places, and Miss Qiuji has been kind to me, so I want to do it for her no matter what." Seek justice."

Li Quan didn't say anything.

"Serial murders are rumored in Beili, so I tried to ask myself. Among the six victims, including Ms. Qiuji, three are well-known musicians in Beili. This is a frequent visitor I asked. list."

"Look quickly, this list is interesting." Murong Ke pushed a few pages in front of Li Quan, "How about we, Sanxiu, are likable? This is information that Wannian County didn't ask about back then. "

"Young Master Murong is joking. Everyone knows which nobles love to come, but it's just inconvenient to tell the government clearly, otherwise we won't be able to gain a foothold in the future."

The paper was almost on his face, so Li Guan had to take a few glances.With a casual scan, he could see some clues.As Murong Ke said, this list is a bit interesting.The three top names all have a lot of friendship with dignitaries, and among their regular customers, the division of power is also obvious.Former Shangshu Youcheng Li Yuan, Hubu servant Lu Qian, Jinwuwei Zhonglang General Pei Liwen, Jingzhao Shaoyin Yang Ye, etc., and of course Li Wei, the son of Liang Wang, are all related to Du Lian and Liang Wang. .

Just like what Bai Sanxiu said, these news are not secrets in Beili, it's just that the officials can't find out.Another reason is that although the victim was well-known, in the final analysis, he was still a lowly family member, and the government did not pay much attention to it from the beginning.

Li Quan said: "If you find this information, just tell Wannian County, why do you want to tell me?"

Murong Ke said mysteriously: "Of course there is something you are interested in. Guess what it is?"

Li Quan didn't make a sound.Of course, Bai Sanxiu wouldn't make any fools of himself, and said, "It's just that in the past few days at night, there will be strange bells ringing in Huayue Tower. Shi Niang asked people to search the entire courtyard, but they couldn't find the source. Mr. Murong said Let me tell Si Zhi that Si Zhi must have a solution."

"ring?"

-

That night.

Compared with the hustle and bustle in Beili, Huayue Building was dimly lit, making it even more deserted.Because the case remains unsolved, the county government does not allow Yuehua Building to open its doors for the time being.

Standing in front of Huayue Tower with a horizontal saber in his hand, Li Quan saw Bai Sanxiu looking at him curiously, and finally asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Sanxiu laughed and said, "Young Master Murong really knows Li Sizhi, he said that once he hears the ringtone, he will definitely come."

"What else did he tell you?"

"He said that Si Zhi is also in charge of a department that specializes in dealing with such supernatural rumors. Mr. Murong told me not to be afraid, and if I have any difficulties, I should just go to an adult."

"Unspecified."

"what?"

"I am also in charge of the Dali Temple's unspecified department. To be precise, I specialize in tracking the case monsters."

"Monster...youkai?!"

"Shh, shut up."

After Bai Sanxiu was taken aback, she couldn't help exclaiming. Li Quan interrupted her and listened intently to the sound coming from the cold wind.

Jingle... Jingle...

Sure enough, as Bai Sanxiu said, there was a faint ringing of bells coming from the mid-air, which was particularly strange in the darkness surrounded by lights.

"upstairs?"

"It seems to be." Bai Sanxiu also listened carefully before whispering, "But the location of the sound source is not fixed, it was in the backyard last night."

"Walk."

Li Quan didn't say much, and together with Bai Sanxiu, tried to keep the noise down as much as possible, and tiptoed up to Huayue Tower.After going up to the third floor of the small building, the bell sounded much closer, but it was very difficult to find it.Although it sounded close at hand, the two never found anything like a bell.

Li Quan listened for a while, and then said: "It's not the sound of hanging bells under the eaves, this bell is crisp and small, it should be a small object."

Upon hearing this, Bai Sanxiu rummaged around in the corners.Suddenly, she let out a "huh": "That is... ah, it ran away!"

Without her needing to point out the direction, a golden light flashed across the corner of Li Quan's eyes.He quickly closed the wooden door with quick eyesight, but Bai Sanxiu was also clever, and quickly lit the fixed candle.

The room suddenly brightened up, and the two quickly discovered the source of the strange ringtone—a golden necklace.Bai Sanxiu was dumbfounded, and wanted to take it when she recovered, but the gold chain was floating in the air, like a golden cicada flying nimbly, flying around.After throwing it to nothing, the gold chain seemed to be more naughty, and it hovered in front of Bai Sanxiu to tease it.

"Is this the monster that Li Sizhi mentioned?" Bai Sanxiu panted slightly, her seven orifices smoked with anger.

Li Quan said: "You back away from me slowly....Okay, let's do it!"

Bai Sanxiu obeyed his instruction, and rushed to grab it, the gold chain jumped up quickly, seeing that he was about to escape again, but with a bang, a gust of wind shot down to the ground.Bai Sanxiu took a closer look, and saw that a mahogany knife passed through the gold chain and fell to the ground.

"So Li Sizhi's horizontal knife is made of peach wood?" She exclaimed in surprise.

Li Guan stepped forward to pick up the gold chain, frowning slightly. "Do you know it?"

"Ah, this is Miss's golden lock."

It was only then that Li Guan remembered that this was the little golden lock that Zhao Qiuji had dropped to the ground that night during the banquet.At this time, the golden lock was held by the chain by him, and he could no longer escape, while the three small bells hanging below the golden lock were still buzzing crisply.
