Little Detective of the Tang Dynasty: What to do if you are beheaded at the beginning?

Since so many people have been walking around the scene for so many days, Song Zhen can't use that trick of time travel.

He carefully observed the terrain. This cave is located in the southeast direction, only ten meters above the ground.

If the thieves cut off the Buddha's head, tied it with a rope, and hung it from top to bottom, it should be in line with common sense.

"After the Ministry of Works left, were there any soldiers guarding here?"

The Minister of Works replied: "Of course there are."

"Where are the soldiers stationed?"

"Please follow me."

The commander of the garrison at the scene took out a map and marked five places on it.

"Because there is a river next to the Longmen Grottoes, called the Yi River. So we will arrange five people to station every mile along the river."

"Among them, these five locations are the camps of our officers and soldiers, and they are also the only way to enter the Longmen Grottoes."

"On the mountain, there are also officers and soldiers stationed in the corridors of each grotto."

Song Zhen stretched out his hand to interrupt the commander's words. He took a boat to cross the river. Others followed behind him without knowing what he meant.

Song Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Longmen Grottoes on the other side of the river.

After looking for a long time, he turned his head and asked: "Huaiying, if you were a thief, how would you choose to enter?"

"The waterway and the front are heavily guarded, so it's naturally impossible." Di Renjie narrowed his eyes and looked at the terrain from a distance, and his pupils shrank.

"Shouzheng, you mean that the thieves are likely to come down from the mountain?"

"That's right. The only place that the soldiers neglected to guard was the top of the mountain. Moreover, the West Mountain Grottoes are now more developed, while the East Mountain has hardly been excavated."

Song Zhen pointed in a direction: "If I were a thief, I would hang a rope from the lush East Mountain and climb to the cave in the northeast."

He couldn't remember whether the location of the Buddha statue made with the image of Li Shimin was Fengxian Temple or Longhua Temple.

Xue Zhengqing hugged his chest and watched the two big guys analyze, and he felt at ease.

I have to say, it feels really good to win by lying down.

Song Zhen and Di Renjie came to the top of the mountain they speculated. After the heavy rain, there were no footprints here.

However, the sharp-eyed Song Zhen found the blind spot.

"This is..."

Song Zhen ran over quickly and saw a very obvious rope mark on a tree trunk.

Di Renjie followed him, and when he looked down, he could not help but frown.

Then, the two came to the edge of the cliff, and it was clearly visible that there were scratches on a stone on the edge of the cliff.

Di Renjie pondered and said, "It seems that the person was hung from here."

Song Zhenque shook his head: "No, no, no, can you take a closer look?"

"Scratches of this degree are not enough to support a 100-jin person."

Di Renjie's heart trembled. Could it be that? There is a ghost in the Ministry of Works?

"Huaiying, have you touched the broken part of the Buddha's neck?"

"Yes."

"Does it look like it was excavated with professional tools?"

The rock material of Longmen Grottoes is limestone, and limestone has a characteristic that it is brittle and has a low hardness.

Therefore, as long as the blade is embedded in the neck and hammered with a heavy object from the outside, the entire Buddha head can be easily peeled off.

And the common people will not have such professional tools.

The only explanation is that there is a high probability of a ghost.

According to the calculation of stone density and volume, the total weight of the Buddha head should be about 50 jin.

It just matches the depth of the scratches on the stone at the top of the mountain.

Di Renjie fell into deep thought. If the Ministry of Works personnel cooperated with each other, it would be very detrimental to the investigation of the case.

Because, the snake has been alerted.

The thieves must have heard the news and prepared for anti-detection.

Well, back to the original question.

Who would steal the Buddha head? Why did they steal the Buddha head? What was the motive for the crime?

"Shouzheng, do you think they would take the Buddha head to sell?"

"Sell?" Song Zhen smiled, "Who in the world dares to buy it in the Tang Dynasty?"

Di Renjie narrowed his eyes: "What if it is not sold to the people of the Tang Dynasty?"

"?" Song Zhen gradually put away his smile. There is indeed this possibility.

Then the question is, if it is just for sale, they would not specifically steal the Buddha head cast with the image of Tian Khan, right?

Song Zhen looked at the original draft and didn't feel any difference from other Buddha statues.

Even? A little weird?

Because the Buddha statue is Vajra, and in order to ensure authenticity, it even has Li Shimin's iconic goatee.

What is the collection value of this? Tell me.

Could it be? Is it a fanatical fan of Li Shimin? Did he steal it and take it home to worship? Does he worship it from time to time?

This is not reasonable. What he did was completely blasphemous.

Song Zhen and Di Renjie thought about it, but there was no conclusion.Let's just go home and discuss it tomorrow.

Don't rush when things happen. The more you rush, the more clueless you will be.

......

On the way back, they happened to run into a funeral procession.

The procession even played the suona version of "囍", the interlude of "Liang Zhu".

Since Song Zhen's suona was modified, its range is very wide, while the suona native to the Tang Dynasty has a relatively low sound.

How do you say it, it sounds weird?

Song Zhen asked curiously: "What are they doing?"

They are wearing mourning clothes, playing "囍", right?

Brother, this is obviously a "happy" song for a bride's wedding, but you turned it into a funeral. Is that really okay?

Di Renjie covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "You can't blame them, because in your play, when Zhu Yingtai jumped off the grave at the end, the song that sounded was exactly this "囍"."

"......"

Song Zhen thought, if I take out "The Debt of the Mandarin Ducks", wouldn't it be a blast?

"It's time to prepare other dramas. If they keep watching Liang Zhu, they will get tired of it one day."

Unexpectedly, after a week and a half of performance, the people of the Tang Dynasty did not get tired of it.

Many people even watched it twice or three times... They called it a review of the classics.

This kind of people have the typical masochistic constitution. The more uncomfortable it makes them, the more they can't help watching it.

According to the current momentum, "Liang Zhu" should be popular for another year.

Because before this, there has never been a drama with such full emotions and ups and downs in the plot.

In addition, the stage effects of "Liang Zhu" were designed by Song Zhen, which is absolutely a blast in this era.

Even if it is placed in the future, it is refreshing.

A stage is divided into two sides, with different plots performed simultaneously, and the plot is advanced by the different situations of the male and female protagonists.

In the eyes of the audience, the two people are obviously very close, but they are forcibly separated by a wall.

And that wall is a metaphor for the corrupt system of no marriage between scholars and commoners at that time.

A simple wall shows the feeling of being close yet far away.

The farthest distance in the world, I stand in front of you, but you don’t know that I love you.

But what is shown in the play "Liang Zhu" is...

The farthest distance in the world, I am next door to you, but we can’t be together.

Such a strong contrast in reality has made countless people cry.

At this moment, everyone is Liang Zhu.

Even Li Zhi is addicted. Damn, if he is not tortured for a day, he feels uncomfortable all over.

"Zitong, how about we leave the palace?"

"Your Majesty, do you want to watch Liang Zhu again?"

"Yes, I feel so bad."

Wu Meiniang climbed onto Li Zhi's neck with a light smile and said softly: "Your Majesty, opera is always just a story, but we are not the people in the story."

"No one can separate us."

Li Zhi was moved, and he took Wu Meiniang into his arms.

Yes, fortunately, I am the emperor.
