The Reborn Wife Returns

Chapter 75 Breaking the game, the first female benefactor (3)
The master abbot has white hair and beard, kind eyebrows and kind eyes.Wearing a gold-plated cassock, he walks lightly, like an eminent monk outside the world.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he touched Zhikong's veins, then opened his eyelids and looked at his mouth and nose.Finally, check the wound on the chest. Black blood overflowed from the surrounding area, shining faintly in the light of the fire.

"Amitabha, this benefactor, what was the situation at that time?" The abbot stretched out his hand to cover Zhikong's eyes, closed his eyelids, and suddenly pulled out the dagger, blood sprayed out like water.The host master waved the gray cloth veil, all the blood was sprinkled on the veil, not a single drop was splashed on the ground.

"At the end of the lecture, the abbot handed over the consecrated red sandalwood bracelet to me. I only heard a 'crack', as if something was burning, and the dagger flew down from the beam." Gong Qinglan explained the reasons for the incident one by one, and There is no concealment, except for the sentence that the master told.

The presiding master pondered, looking at the sorghum in the main hall, his silver-white eyebrows frowned.

The little novice was afraid that the presiding master would listen to Gong Qinglan's one-sided words, so he said quickly: "Master abbot, don't listen to her sophistry. If no one shoots a dagger on the beam, even if it is tied by a rope and hung on the beam, it will fall straight down and stab you. On the top of the head or on the shoulders, how can it get into the chest?"

The master host looked at Gong Qinglan: "Do you have anything to say, the benefactor?"

Gong Qinglan nodded, looked around the hall, and her gaze fell on a red candle on the altar with a thin black thread hanging from it. She reached out to touch it, crushed it with her fingertips, and smelled it on the tip of her nose. The pungent smell of burnt feathers is definitely not the trace left by the candle wick.Looking at the beam in this direction, this angle is exactly aligned with Master Zhikong's position.

"Master host, please order someone to go to the blind corner of the fourth beam to check if there is any trace of a sharp weapon." Gong Qinglan initially had an idea in his mind, and someone needed to verify it.

The abbot jumped and landed on the beam that Gong Qinglan was pointing at. There were friction marks in the gap between the upper beam and a deep scratch on the lower beam.With a thought, I took the dagger in my hand and put it on it to make gestures, which happened to be the scratches left by the tip of the knife.

Falling lightly, she looked at Gong Qinglan with complicated eyes: "If it wasn't for you, how would you know it so clearly?"

Gong Qinglan said calmly: "The rest of the candles are dripping with candle tears, and before I heard the sound of cracking, it must have been caused by being burned. It just so happened that there was a black thread hanging on the candle, and the silk thread The shape is the same. It seems that a part of it was burnt off and fell on the body of the candle. I boldly speculated whether someone tied a dagger with silk thread and put it on the beam. shoot down."

After a pause, he continued: "This is not done by ordinary people. The location and time are calculated accurately. If there is a slight deviation, it will not be successful."

The little novice listened to what she said clearly, followed the clues she said one by one, and found that there was indeed a silk thread tied, because in the direction she pointed, there was a slanted black line on the ground, coagulated with charred ash.

"The dagger is not a bow and arrow, how could it fly down?" Someone in the crowd questioned.

Gong Qinglan said calmly: "That's why I asked the abbot to check if there are knife marks on the beam. If there are, it confirms what I think." Gong Qinglan found a wooden frame, which was shaped like a beam structure.He took the dagger, tied the handle of the dagger with silver wire, lowered the tip of the dagger, which was as thin as a blade, and bent it into the arc of a bow and arrow. Si, the dagger was shaken by a 'bang', lost its restraint, rebounded instantly and flew out, stabbing the ground with a 'ding'.

Everyone was shocked!
Master was assassinated like this!
But if she wasn't the one who killed him, why was she so clear about the arrangement of the dagger?
The little novice was stunned, and was speechless because of the facts.

"The tighter the silver wire is pulled, the stronger it will rebound and the more ferocious it will be. If you relax a little, you will not be able to reach the target." Gong Qinglan calmly held her own, glanced at the scratched finger when she lost her mind before, and threw away the The object said: "That's why they choose thin blades that are extremely flexible."

"Do you know who the murderer is?" The abbot took a deep look at Gong Qinglan, and said in this position: "Master Zhikong usually likes to stand behind the pilgrims, and rarely stands in front of the pilgrims. If he stands in front, It must be that the person who came here has something different, and you are looking at his face. I am afraid that Master Zhikong is standing in front of you today, because you have something unique. But if you are not proficient in facial expressions or someone who is familiar with Master Zhikong, the dagger will fall. on the donor's forehead."

Gong Qinglan was covered in cold sweat, she understood the meaning of the host master's words, the man set up a murderous situation, and the target was her.But the abbot suddenly changed her position, making her take a few steps back, keeping a polite distance, and stabbing the abbot in the chest with the dagger.

If it is to assassinate the abbot, that person must figure out the abbot's habits and whether she can attract the abbot's attention, and observe her in secret early on.But this kind of result is one in ten thousand, absolutely impossible!

It was she who came to the conclusion that the other party wanted to kill, not the abbot!

"The master abbot wants me to find the murderer, so as not to encounter similar murders in the future and make others a scapegoat?" Gong Qinglan looked at the flashing light in the eyes of the master abbot, and said with a sigh: "You can go to the magistrate to investigate thoroughly. "

But he knew in his heart that it was definitely not a simple person to set up such an exquisite killing scheme.

In her mind, she kept thinking about the aristocratic families she had trouble with, only Li Dusi, the third wife of the Marquis of Wei, Qi Shaoheng and... Changning Hou Shizi.

Li Dusi is too busy to take care of himself now, he is busy dredging the official channels and transferring to the capital, so that he can rule out the suspicion.Although Li Liying, the third young lady of Wei Guohou's mansion, has scheming plans, she has no great resourcefulness.Qi Shaoheng's mansion is not deep, and it all depends on the advice of the second wife. In the end, the most suspected person is Changning Hou Shizi.

Could it be him?

He met the conditions one by one, and he had enough reasons to kill her.

His eyes fell on Bo Lixi who was hiding in the crowd, and he walked over.Seeing her approaching, everyone stepped aside and stood in front of Bo Lixi without hindrance.

He took a fixed look at him, his eyes swept over him, and turned around, his eyes fell on a few dark marks on the sleeve.Stretching out his hand to grab the sleeve, a few drops of candle tears froze on it.As she stretched the sleeves, Bo Lixi's hand was exposed, and there was a red scar on the index finger, as if injured by a sharp weapon.

"Master, can you give me an explanation?" As long as the suspect is locked down, there will always be clues.

"You suspect what this son of kin has done?" Bo Lixi's eyes were dark and cold, implying a murderous look.As if Gong Qinglan nodded, the next bite would break her neck.

"Everyone is suspicious, but there are many 'coincidences' in Shizi." Gong Qinglan smiled coldly.Bo Lixi secretly plotted against Qi Chuying to plot against her, but it was a good plan, but was screwed up by Qi Chuying.
