Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 100 The Mysterious Visitor

"What did you say!?" Lu Mingyue was shocked when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked, "Daoist Wei, how do you know that the mysterious visitor is my father?

"Hey, you have to think about it. You have only been in our house for three years. That was more than ten years ago?"

"Pindao, how dare you speak nonsense," Wei Bei said, saluting with one hand. "A few days ago, when the first corpse of a monk-clothed woman was found in the Huguo Temple, Master Lu told the poor Taoist about the past."

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked quickly, "What did he say?"

"Lord Lu and Monk Liankong were good friends back then," Wei Bei replied, "he was especially interested in the volume of Buddhist scriptures that monk translated, so after Liankong was arrested, he often visited Nanjian Prison. , and study scriptures together.

"Also..." Wei Beihui added, "After the incident, those who interceded with the abbots to the government and asked Lian Kong to finish translating the Buddhist scriptures before being judged were also Hou Ye.

"If Master Hou didn't come forward, I'm afraid that monk would have been shown to the public by the owl as early as 10 years ago!"

"Unexpectedly... like this..." Xu Zun frowned, feeling particularly surprised.

"Xu Tixing," Wei Beihui smiled slightly, "I know what you're thinking, but I can guarantee with my life that Lord Lu Hou has absolutely nothing to do with that monk-robed killer!"

"Yes, yes..." Lu Mingyue echoed in panic, "Last night, Daddy was with me and Auntie all the time, and later he talked to me a lot about Xiaofeng. Separate, impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"Master Hou..." Xu Zun asked after pondering, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"Yes," Lu Mingyue replied hastily, "Daxuan upholds Taoism, Tangzhou inherits Buddhism, and my Lu family's ancestral home is Shangyuan City, so it is natural that the ancestors have believed in Buddhism for generations!
"It's just that after the death of my grandfather, my grandmother converted to Xuan Dao, and because of this, she had conflicts with my father, so she left the Hou Mansion and founded Qinglan Temple!"

Oh?
It was only then that Xu Zun realized something. He didn't expect that the change in Master Hou's family was due to a problem of belief.

Recalling his various experiences after coming to Shangyuan City, Xu Zun already made a judgment in his heart. Although Chang Pinghou and Lian Kong are good friends, it is unlikely that he is a killer in monk clothes.

Based on the facts of the case, Xu Zun had previously done a psychological profile of the monk-robed killer, and concluded that the murderer should be a person with extreme personality and lack of love.

And Hou Ye pampered him, which is obviously inconsistent.

But... Even if Lord Hou is not a monk-clothes killer, it is very likely that he knows something, which may be helpful to the investigation.

Besides, according to what Shen Xinglian said, the whole city was still under inspection last night, and ordinary passing vehicles were subject to inspection, unless the people with high status were exempted from inspection.

So... Could this monk-robed killer be someone from the Hou family?
"Daoist Wei," Lu Mingyue thought of something, and asked Wei Bei back, "My father told you, what did he think of the fact that Monk Lian Kong is the killer in monk clothes?"

"Master Hou just said," Wei Beihui replied truthfully, "He also thinks that there are still some doubts about the case back then, but the monk Liankong has made no secret of his crimes, so... Lord Hou can't judge either.

"Mmm...Miss," Wei Beihui took the opportunity to say, "Otherwise, let's go back to the mansion now, and you can ask Lord Hou in person?"

"This... Brother Xu?" Lu Mingyue pulled Xu Zun's arm and asked, "What should I do? Do you think it is necessary to ask my father?"

"Don't worry," Xu Zun thought for a while and said, "Little sister Lu, let's solve the sandalwood problem first! If the sandalwood is special, maybe we can find more direct clues."

"Then...alright!" Lu Mingyue nodded, "I'll go find Qingqing now!"

"Okay," Xu Zun looked at the sky, "At this time, Lian Yushu's body should have been transported to the county government office. Let's meet up at the county government office later!"

"Okay!" Lu Mingyue waved back at Wei Bei, "Wei Daoist, let's go! Qingqing must be having lunch at Xiangxun Pavilion at this time!"

"Yes!" Wei Bei waved the floating dust back, still looking helpless and reluctant.

After they left, Huo Anu whispered his opinion next to Xu Zun:
"My lord, there is something wrong with this case! If even Lord Hou has problems, then I'm afraid...it's not easy to investigate, right?"

Xu Zun seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't speak.

"Why do I think," Huo Anu looked around, and said vigilantly, "this time is more dangerous than the iron coffin case? My lord, I think, we need to be more careful next time!"

"Hehe," Xu Zun smiled faintly, "There are indeed too many things to pay attention to!
"Anu, the county office is ahead, you go back to the inn to see Zhao Yu and Liu Dong, and after making sure they are safe, call Zhao Yu to meet at the county office."

"Yes!" Huo Anu nodded, and at the same time did not forget to tell Xu Zun, "My lord, be careful!"

……

Half an hour later, Xu Zun checked the files in the police room of the county yamen.

The head catcher Ju Ran reported from the sidelines:

"My lord, we have already checked. Although the two deceased were the same age, they had different birth dates. Xiaoying was born in the first month, while Nalian Yushu was born in August."

"Then... isn't there some kind of saying, gossip and five elements, or gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?" Xu Zun looked at the file and asked, "Are the attributes of the two deceased the same?"

"Is...attribute?" Ju Ran was confused.

"It's gold life and fire life?" Xu Zun explained.

"Oh..." Ju Ran said hastily, "Then I'll go and investigate carefully..."

With that said, Ju Ran turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute," Xu Zun asked, "Let me ask you, do you have any powerful gangsters in Shangyuan City? I'm not talking about corpse bearers, but the ones who can operate on the dead?"

"Ah? Open... a knife?" Ju Ran grinned, "My lord, I'm afraid only the court has the kind of martial arts you mentioned? How can we folks have such powerful martial arts?"

Gee...

Xu Zun smacked his lips, and Ju Ran's answer was the same as what he understood in his head. The forensic technology of the Daxuan Dynasty was still very backward, and there was no such superb autopsy as Song Ci.

The work here is generally to carry the corpse, clean up the corpse and assist in the burial. Very few can look at the surface characteristics of the deceased and judge the cause of death, such as judging whether it was poisoned or drowned.

But there are very few who can operate on the dead. I am afraid that as Ju Ran said, only the court has such a master, right?

Ugh!
Xu Zun couldn't help sighing, even though he knew something about the structure of the human body, he was really not good at performing an autopsy!

The internal organs of the two deceased were destroyed by the murderer, so if a thorough autopsy is to be performed, they must be opened.

"My lord, do you have any orders?" Seeing that Xu Zun was silent, Ju Ran asked again.

"Oh... there is one more thing, do you know?" Xu Zun asked, "After the execution, you said that the monks took away the corpse of Monk Liankong.

"So... do you know who took it away? Also, where was Lian Kong finally buried?"

"This..." Ju Ran shook his head and said, "During the execution, the humble official was not present due to some delays. I... I will ask you, and I should be able to find out!"

"Okay," Xu Zun nodded, "Then go check it out!"

"Yes!" Ju Ran saluted, turned and left.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Ju Ran left, a group of young girls rushed in from the other side.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu, here we come..."

Hearing his voice before seeing him, Xu Zun could hear that the one speaking in the crowd was his newly sworn sister Lu Mingyue with a different surname.

However, he did not expect that Lu Mingyue would bring so many friends with him...
