Chapter 78 The Monk Clothes Killer
"Ten years ago, exactly ten years now..."

Ju Ran took Xu Zun and others to a leeward area of ​​the temple, and talked about the ins and outs of the female corpse in monk clothes.

"At that time, there was a case of a female corpse in monk clothes in Shangyuan City, and... it was a serial murder case!" Ju Ran pointed to the scene of the crime in the distance, "The dead were all young women like that, and they were all dead in their bodies after death." Wearing a monk's robe, sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddhist hall, the postures are all the same..."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Xu Zun and Zhao Yu looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.

"The cause of death..." Ju Ran sighed and said, "He also died by cutting open the abdomen and destroying the internal organs, and the wound was stitched up after death!"

This……

Xu Zun frowned, he didn't expect the murderer to be so cruel.

"That year was also after winter, and in just two months, four women were murdered in Shangyuan City," Ju Ran recalled, "The places where they were thrown away were located in various temples in Shangyuan City. .

"For a moment, people panicked, and every house closed their doors. They were all frightened by this monk's robe killer!"

"Those women..." Xu Zun thought for a while and asked, "Who are they? Have you found out their identities?"

"Of course," Ju Ran said, "the four of them are Miss Hualou, prostitutes, and they all look about 20 years old."

"Oh……"

Xu Zun looked at the scene of the crime subconsciously, and suspected that the deceased was also a prostitute, because she had an unusual fragrance on her body and bright colors on her nails.

"Ten years," Zhao Yu asked ponderingly, "So, after ten years, this monk-robed killer has shot again?"

"No, no, no," Ju Ran hurriedly said, "You two adults misunderstood, if it is really that simple, then why should I stop you?"

"Oh, then don't ink it," Zhao Yu said anxiously, "Quickly tell me, what's going on?"

"Actually, as early as ten years ago, we had already caught that monk-robed killer, and," Ju Ranyan said, "I still caught him with my own hands!"

"what?"

Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were surprised again.

"Caught it?" Zhao Yu hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"It's a monk!" Ju Ran replied, "Back then, we mobilized the whole city to solve this case, searching day and night for quite a while.

"In the end, we finally found a temple based on the testimony of an eyewitness, and then searched the temple to catch the real culprit.

"The man's name is Lian Kong, and he was over fifty years old at that time," Ju Ran said, "We found the tools for the crime from his residence, such as the murder weapon, sutures, etc...

"And that monk also confessed to his crime, and the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing has been solved!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "Then what happened later?"

"Later," Ju Ran replied, "we interrogated him in detail, and the details he confessed did match the scene of the crime.

"Therefore, Taimin county guard wrote to the imperial court, ready to beheaded.

"But... what is unexpected is that this monk Liankong is actually a translator of a rare Buddhist scripture, and he was translating the Buddhist scripture at that time.

"As a result, the abbots of Shangyuan City jointly signed a letter, asking Lian Kong to execute the sentence after he finished translating the Buddhist scriptures.

"At that time, Xuan Dao hadn't risen yet, so the above actually approved the application for probation and allowed Lian Kong to continue translating scriptures in prison.

"This translation took place in six or seven years," Ju Ran recalled wistfully, "Later, in the first year of Taikang, Na Liankong suddenly announced that he had finished translating all the Buddhist scriptures and could go to his execution!
"It's really weird to say, but in fact, if he deliberately delays the several thick boxes of Buddhist scriptures, I'm afraid it won't be a problem if it takes another ten or eight years.

"But that monk Liankong just forgot to sleep and eat, worked tirelessly, and completed the task ahead of schedule.

"Actually, the monks at that time felt his merit in translating scriptures, and wanted to plead with the imperial court to spare his death and let him die in prison.

"But at that time, Xuan Dao was on the rise, Buddhism was on the decline, and the monks no longer had the right to speak!

"So, after verifying his integrity and re-checking, Lian Kong was still shown to the public, and then his body was taken away by the monks..."

oh oh...

After listening to what Ju Ran said, Xu Zun and Zhao Yu were so fascinated by what they heard. They never expected that there would be such a bizarre story about the case of the corpse of a woman in monk clothes.

"My lord, I beg you to learn from me," Ju Ran said with an embarrassing expression, "Do you know which monastery that monk Lian Kong was a monk from?"

"what!!?"

Hearing this question, Xu Zun gasped, goose bumps appeared on his body.

"No..." He asked in amazement, "Is it right here?"

"It's this Huguo Temple!" Ju Ran pointed to the location of the female corpse in the distance, "I can't remember wrongly, that's where Monk Liankong lived!"

I click!

Xu Zun felt his scalp tingling again.

Zhao Yu also couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly, as if he was about to be frozen.

"My lord," Ju Ran continued, "in Shangyuan City, who else knows more about the case of the female corpse in monk clothes than me!?

"I don't dare to lie to my lord anymore," he suddenly bowed and cupped his fists, "I feel that we caught the wrong person back then!"

No way?
Xu Zun thought that the numbness of the scalp was over, but after hearing this, it still became numb again.

"Otherwise..." Ju Ran said excitedly, "Why was this female corpse placed in the room where Lian Kong lived?

"Otherwise, why would the details of the female corpse's death be exactly the same as the case ten years ago?
"Otherwise, why did Lian Kong want to die so hard back then?"

Otherwise, a vivid scene will appear in Xu Zun's mind:

Ten years ago, Lian Kong pleaded guilty to protecting the murderer.

Ten years later, the monk-clothes killer reappeared in Shangyuan City, wanting to avenge Liankong! ! ?

"My lord," Ju Ran said again, "it is precisely because of this that the magistrate ordered me to stop it. If you know these secrets, the two of us will definitely be implicated.

"I arrested the person back then, and Lord Tai Min tried the case. Now if it turns out that the monk's clothes killer is someone else, then the two of us... just... oh..."

Oh……

Xu Zun finally understood why Tai Min and Ju Ran looked so ugly just now.

"Wait a minute, let me ask something first!" Zhao Yu asked Ju Ran, "Is the case of the female corpse in monk clothes known to everyone in Shangyuan City?"

"Yes!" Ju Ran admitted, "It was such a sensation back then, naturally everyone knows it."

"Then you are full? Can you hide it? Can you hide it?" Zhao Yu asked.

"You're right, I'm ashamed of my lowly position," Ju Ran clasped her fists again, "It's only because the female corpse came so suddenly, Lord Hou and Lord Inspector were both present at the time, Lord Tai Min and I were in a panic, that's why we were so confused...

"We wanted to wait for all the adults to leave before discussing countermeasures, but we didn't expect that you insisted on checking the corpse.

"I contradicted Mr. Ti Xing just now, and I hope you will forgive me!"

"Ju Butou," Xu Zun asked, "Are you so sure that the case in front of you was really committed by the killer in monk clothes ten years ago? Could it be a copycat?"

"I couldn't be sure," Ju Ran said, "but after seeing the sutured wound just now, I can be sure!

"Regardless of the location of the wound, its length, or the stitching of the sutures, they are all exactly the same as back then. If it wasn't for the real murderer, how could it be possible!?"

Gee...

Having come to such a conclusion, Xu Zun smacked his lips again and again, feeling the fog in front of his eyes suddenly rise.

"Hey?" At this time, Zhao Yu thought of an important question and asked Ju Ran, "Since everyone knows it, how could Lord Hou not know it?
"Isn't he worried that the person who kidnapped Miss will be a monk's robe killer?"
