Chapter 79 The Monk Clothes Killer
Just when Xu Zun and Xu Zun listened to Ju Ran's narration and began to analyze the case, the officials, policemen, and gangsters at the gate of the Shangyuan City Yamen had already entered the scene.

Everyone was shocked when they saw the female corpse in monk clothes reappear in Shangyuan City.

Ju Ran had no choice but to start directing the work in front of Xu Zun and the two of them. First, let the police inspect the scene and look for suspicious traces, and then arrange for the police to handle and transport the corpse.

The police searched around for a long time, but found no suspicious traces.

There is no way, the corpse died for a long time, and it also experienced a heavy snow during the period.

Now as the snow melts, the road surface is muddy, and a large group of people stepped on it before, the scene has been severely damaged.

At this moment, Xu Zun and the others continued the previous topic after watching the staff carefully dispose of the corpse.

"Master Hou must be worried that Miss Lu might also be taken away by this killer in monk clothes," Zhao Yu said first, "If it's really this cold-blooded killer, she might as well be kidnapped, it's too scary!"

"Probably not..." Ju Ran frowned, and said his analysis, "As far as I know, the targets of monk-robed killers are all prostitutes around 20 years old!

"And Ms. Lu from Lord Hou's family doesn't fit the profile at all.

"In addition," Ju Ran said again, "according to the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing last time, the murderers were all caught and killed immediately, and they didn't catch all the people they wanted to kill first, and then killed them one by one.

"Also, Miss Lu has been missing for five days. Based on what I know about the Monk Killer, he won't wait for five days."

"That being said..." Zhao Yu worried, "But things are different, who can guarantee that the murderer will still kill people according to the standard ten years ago?

"God knows if Miss Lu has been killed now, but the body has not been found? This has to be worrying!"

"Indeed," Ju Ran said, "I guess Lord Hou didn't show too much worry in public just now, maybe he wanted to save face for Lord Taimin.

"It's impossible for him not to know about the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing, and it's impossible for him not to worry about Miss Lu..."

"Therefore," Xu Zun pointed to the female body that had been carried on a stretcher in the distance, "the identity of the deceased female is particularly important!"

"Yes!" Ju Ran understood Xu Zun's meaning, "As long as we can find out the identity of the deceased and prove that she is a prostitute, then the probability of Miss Lu being captured by the monk's clothes killer will be greatly reduced.

"My lord, please don't worry," he assured Xu Zun, "As soon as the corpse is transported back to Yizhuang, I will immediately send people to draw pictures, post notices, compare the missing persons, and find out the identity of the deceased.

"As long as the deceased is a resident of Shangyuan City, we can definitely find out!"

"Yes," Zhao Yu suggested, "You can also call all the Hualou girls in Shangyuan City to identify people, maybe it will be more efficient!"

"Yes, but..." Ju Ran clasped his fists at Xu Zun again, "Master Xu, the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing has a great impact. If people know that the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing reappears in Shangyuan City, it may cause panic! So..."

"I understand," Xu Zun nodded, "Especially when Miss Hou's Mansion disappears, don't make too much publicity. How about this, whether it's posting notices or identifying the corpse, it must be kept secret!"

"Your Excellency is wise," Ju Ran bowed, "The humble staff will also tell everyone in the Yamen to keep secrets."

"Ju Butou," Xu Zun smiled bitterly, "You should be very clear that strictly keeping the secret is just deception. The people in the Hou Mansion and the army have seen the corpse just now. It is impossible to keep this secret!"

"This..." Ju Ran looked worried.

"So," Xu Zun said, "the right way is to find the murderer as soon as possible.

"According to your description, the murderer killed four women in a row in just two months, and at this speed, the next victim will appear soon!
"So, we'd better catch him before he makes another shot, so everything will be cleared up!"

"This..." Ju Ran wondered, "Your Excellency, you have also seen that this Huguo Temple is quite remote, and if there were no eyewitnesses found ten years ago, it would have been difficult to solve the case!

"Besides, we may have arrested the wrong person..." He regretted himself, "It's really ironic to say that, I got the title of God arrester because of this case."

"Ju Butou, don't blame yourself so much," Xu Zun said, "Let me ask you, do you still have any files on this case?"

"Yes!" Ju Ran replied, and then added, "However, you might as well ask me when you read the file. As I said, no one knows this case better than me!"

"Okay," Xu Zun said, "Then I'll ask you a few questions. First, according to the confession of that monk Lian Kong, did he mention why he wanted to kill someone like this?"

"Of course I said it," Ju Ran replied, "It is said that it is based on the verses in the "Ciluo Sutra", to save those women from rebirth!"

"Oh? It's so evil!" Xu Zun frowned deeply, "Then why did they have to cut open their stomachs?"

"It is said that it is to clean the internal organs, so as to wash away the sins and help him to die!" Ju Ran replied, "For this reason, he also spoke a lot of Sanskrit that he didn't understand, which cannot be recorded in the book."

This……

Xu Zun cursed inwardly, isn't this a typical mental illness?

"You said he can translate Buddhist scriptures." Xu Zun thought for a while and asked again, "So he is not from the Central Plains?"

"No," Ju Ran replied, "I checked Lian Kong's life experience, he grew up in the Huguo Temple since he was a child, and he has no relatives or reasons.

"The reason why he can translate Buddhist scriptures is because there used to be some eminent monks from the Western Regions to give lectures in the monastery. He is intelligent, eager to learn, and good at languages. He not only learned Sanskrit, but also learned several special Sanskrit languages.

"Because of this, he has a high status in the temple, has his own separate residence, and has even been selected as a candidate for the abbot several times.

"Back then, I read the kind of Buddhist scriptures he translated. The text is indeed an extremely rare scripture, not the Sanskrit that we often see."

"This monk..." Xu Zun thought, "It's really not simple! It's hard to understand why he should commit such a heinous crime despite possessing such profound knowledge."

"Yes," Ju Ran said, "According to the monks in the temple, Lian Kong is usually quiet and gentle, and has never had a quarrel with anyone. No one can believe that he will be the monk's killer!"

"Then... what about women?" Zhao Yu interjected.

"No, he never showed any abnormality towards women," Ju Ran replied, "So, I also thought about it at the time, did we arrest the wrong person?
"For this reason, I really checked again, but there is no doubt about his description of the crime facts, and..." Ju Ran recalled, and said, "This monk Liankong is the same as the four back then. The deceased did have contact!"

"Oh?"

Xu Zun opened his eyes wide, and then remembered that he hadn't had time to ask about the situation of the deceased in detail.

"The four deceased were all ladies from various flower houses in the city," Ju Ran said, "Although they were all prostitutes, they had one thing in common, that is, they often came to Huguo Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings.

"According to Lian Kong himself, it was when these women were burning incense that they were targeted by him!

"He said that he could see the sins of reincarnation of these women's future generations. In order to save them from the suffering of reincarnation, he had to save them in advance..."
