Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 294
Di Renjie turned around and said to Jingkong: "Master Jingkong, this is why there is no shortage of population in Hanguang Temple. The murderer actually replaced the monk who was killed with himself. Do you understand now?"

Jing Kong opened his mouth and said: "Replace, replace? This, this... Sir, you mean, someone killed the monk in the temple and pretended to be him to sneak in among the monks?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Exactly."

Jing Kong nodded suspiciously.

But Huan Bin showed a look of disapproval: "Mr. Ge, this, is this too mysterious?"

Di Renjie laughed: "General, when you see the truth, you will feel that this matter is not only not mysterious, but also reasonable and delicate. What do you say, Jing Yang, Yuan Fang?"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "That's right, very reasonable. Moreover, it can be the only conclusion."

Wang Mang chuckled: "General, such a murder case, to put it bluntly, brother Yuanfang and I can do it, and we can do it better than him!"

Di Renjie nodded slightly, snorted softly, and said to Huan Bin and Jingkong: "You two, I can assure you that this person is sitting on the side hall right now, chanting scriptures with all the monks in the temple!"

Huan Bin and Jing Kong were speechless in surprise.

Ruyan who was standing aside asked, "Uncle, do you think this murderer is Shining?"

Di Renjie shook his head: "I dare not say that. Only when this person is caught can his identity be determined."

Ru Yan said: "But now, the murderer has disguised himself as the dead man and is among the monks, and we don't know who the dead man is, how can we find the murderer?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, Jing Yang, what are you laughing at? According to my humble position, we should ask all the monks one by one, and the murderer will definitely show his feet."

Di Renjie shook his head: "Our time is running out."

Huan Bin snorted softly: "It's easy to handle. Arrest all the monks and wait for the emperor to offer incense before interrogation!"

Di Renjie laughed: "General, what the emperor will face tomorrow is an empty temple!"

Huan Bin was taken aback for a moment, and then patted himself on the head: "Hey, look at my brain, what kind of bad ideas are I thinking! Ke, Mr. Ge, what should I do?"

Ruyan looked at the relaxed faces of Di Renjie and Wang Mang, and raised her neck: "Okay, uncle, judging by the appearance of you and Lord Hou, you should have already thought of a solution, so don't be fooled, just talk about it." Bar!"

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie, Di Renjie turned to Ruyan, and said, "Ruyan, I remember, you once told me that all members of the 'Snake Spirit' organization will wear a snake-shaped wooden sign?"

Ruyan was taken aback, she didn't understand why Di Renjie brought up the wooden sign at this moment, but she hurriedly said: "Ah, yes, Xiaomei's piece is on me now."

Di Renjie and Wang Mang showed smiles on their faces.

……

In the side hall, all the monks are still chanting scriptures.

Suddenly, the door of the palace opened, and Di Renjie and Wang Mang walked in again. Behind, Qian Niuwei was carrying the headless body.

The abbot and all the monks in the hall were stunned immediately, the chanting sound changed from strong to weak, then from weak to none, the hall was silent for a moment, and all eyes were on the headless male corpse.

Di Renjie walked to the center and said: "Masters, Qianniuwei found the headless body of a monk in the temple in the back garden this morning, and the murderer is sitting among you now!"

As soon as this remark came out, the monks let out a burst of exclamation, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

The abbot was also stunned, looking at the monk value Jingkong.

Di Renjie looked at the group of monks below and said word by word: "I know who the murderer is, and I even know where he is sitting. Don't think that I am deceiving you. Therefore, for everyone's safety, please stand Get up!"

Wang Mang looked at the monks, but no one moved.

Seeing that no one moved, Di Renjie sneered suddenly: "Great, it seems that I need to explain things more clearly."

As he spoke, he took out something from his pocket and said, "This murderer is a subordinate of the 'Snake Spirit'. Just now we searched the monk's room and found the snake-shaped wooden plaque he was wearing on his bed!"

After finishing speaking, he held up the wooden sign in his hand. At this moment, Wang Mang's eagle eyes searched the crowd.

Sure enough, a monk sitting in the middle of the fourth row stretched his hand towards his neck subconsciously, but he immediately came to his senses and put his hand down quickly.

This person is exactly the monk who was speaking incorrectly when he was chanting sutras in the hall just now.

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, with a smile on their faces.

Li Yuanfang, who was standing on the side of the man, showed a smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Di Renjie and Wang Mang. Di Renjie and Wang Mang were looking at him. Li Yuanfang nodded slightly to them.

Di Renjie said coldly: "Why, why don't you stand up?"

Still no answer.

Suddenly, Di Renjie pointed to the monk in the middle of the fourth row: "You, stand up!"

All eyes looked in the direction of Di Renjie's finger.

The man was taken aback and stood up quickly.

Di Renjie said: "Master, please recite a section of the Diamond Sutra in Sanskrit."

The man was dumbfounded immediately, and murmured: "I, I..."

Di Renjie sneered, and turned to look at the abbot beside him: "Master abbot, I never imagined that among the monks welcoming the emperor this time, there are some who can't chant sutras in Sanskrit. This is really a sham!"

The abbot hurriedly said: "This, this is absolutely impossible!"

After speaking, he turned to the monk and said, "Faneng, you are one of the best in the monastery for chanting sutras in Sanskrit on weekdays. Why are you making such a fool of yourself today?"

"Fa Neng" lowered his head.

Seeing such a scene, Wang Mang couldn't help but burst into laughter immediately: "Master Abbot, let me answer your question, he is not Fa Neng, the real Fa Neng is here!"

As he spoke, Wang Mang pointed his finger at the headless corpse on the ground.

Everyone exclaimed.

The monk value Jingkong said in disbelief: "My lord, no way, the one standing in front of you is Fa Neng!"

Di Renjie glanced at Jing Kong, and said with a sneer: "In Buddhist terms, it's just a skin. Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, do it!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, who had already been on full alert, stopped shouting, one on the left and the other on the right, and threw themselves at "Fa Neng". With his feet a little on the pillar, his figure smashed through the window and flew out of the hall.

All the monks in the hall exclaimed, and a smile appeared on Di Renjie's face.

When the abbot and monk Jingkong saw this scene, they were stunned and speechless.

General Huan Bin stammered: "My lord, you are really right..."

Di Renjie patted him on the shoulder and walked out of the hall.
