Madam let me die

Chapter 26 The monster has someone else!

Time passed silently in seconds.

The noisy small courtyard where pilgrims usually gather is extremely deserted under the blockade of the night patrol department.

Under the vicissitudes of the ancient Bodhi tree, everyone looked up their necks and tried to find the prayer tube that Lin Jiaoyue and the others hung on it from among the densely packed thousands or even tens of thousands of bamboo tubes.

Li Nanke sat quietly in front of the door, his brain constantly sorting out clues.

The reason why he was so persistent in finding the prayer tube that Lin Jiaoyue and the others put on the bodhi tree was because he first questioned the monks on duty in the monastery.

According to the information provided by the monk, Wan Yingying stayed alone for a while after Lin Jiaoyue and the others finished praying.

Then she lost her temper inexplicably.

After losing her temper, she suggested going to Cuihong Mountain for a visit.

Therefore, the prayer tube hanging on the tree must contain some clues, which led to the subsequent murder.

"Here we are!"

Not long after, Leng Xinnan hurried to the man with the prayer tube she found from the bodhi tree.

Li Nanke opened them one by one.

The content of the wish Wan Yingying put in the bamboo tube was a love poem and a few words about the girl's feelings, which probably meant that she hoped to develop a relationship with He Qingyu.

It seems that this girl really admires He Qingyu very much.

The content of Lin Jiaoyue's prayer is that she hopes that the sisters can live happily forever.

But when Li Nanke opened Wen Jiner's prayer tube, he found it was empty—to be precise, the prayer paper inside had been taken away!
"Let me ask you, did they hang up the three prayer tubes by themselves, or did you do it for them?"

Li Nanke asked Chang Yu.

Chang Yu shook his head and said, "We didn't help to hang it up. After they finished writing the blessing content in the Wenjing Hall, Miss Lin took it to hang it together."

really!

Li Nanke had the answer in his mind, and said again: "What happened after that, let's repeat it again."

Chang Yu wiped the sweat off his fat face, and stated the situation that day: "After hanging up the prayer tube, the three of them knelt down under the Bodhi tree. Later, Ms. Lin said she wanted to make it easier for Wen Jin'er Accompany her to the hut in the backyard."

"So only Wan Yingying stayed under the bodhi tree?"

"Correct."

"Then did you see Wan Yingying touch the prayer tube?"

"It seems to have been."

Chang Yu frowned and tried hard to remember. "At that time, the monk was entertaining other pilgrims, so he didn't pay attention. But after hearing Miss Wan scolding, the monk lost his temper by himself.

After Miss Lin and the others came back, the little monk vaguely heard Miss Wan say that they were going to visit Cuihong Mountain. "

Li Nanke's starry eyes were sharp: "I'll ask you again, before this, Miss Lin and the others had any unusual behavior. I'm not just talking about the fourth day of August, but also earlier."

This made Chang Yu embarrassed.

There are so many pilgrims coming and going every day, how could he deliberately remember it.

"Half a month ago..."

At this time, Chang Ming, who was a little shy at the side, suddenly made a sound. "Miss Lin seems to be in a bad mood."

"Be specific."

Li Nanke's eyes lit up.

Chang Ming seemed a little unaccustomed to being stared at by so many people, his slightly dark cheeks flushed a little, and he said timidly: "Half a month ago, Lin Yuanwai brought his wife and young lady to Lichen Temple to offer incense. Miss Wan and Miss Wen were also there.

Originally, Miss Lin was normal, but after that, something happened, and Miss Lin looked dazed and her face was ugly.

Miss Wan and Miss Wen have been comforting her.Oh, right! "

Chang Ming suddenly remembered something, pointed to a Vajra Bodhisattva hall and said: "In the afternoon, the little monk saw the three of them bowing down there, as if they were making some oath.

The little monk only heard Ms. Wan say, "We must keep this secret for Haoyue, and no one is allowed to tell it." '"

Li Nanke looked at the thin young monk in front of him, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, with a meaningful smile.

The information provided by the other party is too detailed and too much.

This is clearly abnormal.

After all, there are so many pilgrims who come to the monastery every day, especially what happened half a month ago, it would be good to have a general impression and remember it so clearly.

There is only one reason -

This monk named Chang Ming secretly admired Lin Jiaoyue.

If you like someone, you will pay extra attention.

However, Li Nanke doesn't care who the other party has a crush on. The clues provided by Chang Ming are too useful.

It also made the truth that had already emerged clearer.

But with a rigorous attitude, Li Nanke decided to investigate in detail what happened that day.

"Tell me about Miss Lin and the others when they came to the monastery. Where did you go and what did you do?"

Li Nanke asked.

Chang Ming hesitated for a moment, and led everyone to a quiet and elegant courtyard.

In the courtyard, there are several meditation halls enshrining statues of Buddha lamps and Bodhisattvas, and a huge incense burner in the middle.

"This is a place where some guests burn lamps to pray for safety. There is a special mage who recites scriptures and prays for peace. The young monk happened to be with the master at that time, so I remember it clearly."

Chang Ming opened a meditation room and said. "In the beginning Lin Yuanwai and the others entered this room, ready to light lamps and worship Buddha. But Ms. Wan and the others were a little noisy, and Lin Yuanwai was a little displeased, so he asked them to go to the meditation room next door.

Later, after the master had finished reciting scriptures, Lin Yuanwai accompanied him to the main hall to listen to the teaching, leaving only Mrs. Lin here to worship Buddha..."

"and many more!"

Li Nanke suddenly grasped a key piece of information and stared at Chang Ming. "That is to say, Mrs. Lin Mei Xing'er was alone in this Zen room at that time. And Lin Jiaoyue and the others are next door?"

"Correct."

Chang Ming nodded.

Li Nanke looked at the meditation room and asked, "How is the sound insulation here? If there is a quarrel, can the neighbors hear it?"

Chang Ming frowned: "It should be possible."

In order to verify the conjecture, Li Nanke asked Tieniu and Guo Gang to talk next door, from normal conversations to loud quarrels.

After experimenting, as long as the sound is not very small, it can be heard.

"And then?" Li Nanke asked again.

Chang Ming said: "After the little monk and master accompanied Lin Yuanwai and the others back, they saw that Mrs. Lin, including Miss Lin, looked very unhappy."

"At that time, did you see other people entering Mrs. Lin's meditation room?"

"This little monk doesn't know."

Chang Ming shook his head.

Li Nanke asked the last key question: "He Qingyu, you should also know each other, that day... did he come to Lichen Temple to offer incense?"

"some!."

This time it was Chang Yu who spoke.

He stepped forward and said, "I still remember this incident, because someone kicked over a small incense burner outside the temple that day. It was Mr. He. It seemed that he was very angry, and he probably had an argument with someone."

Hearing Chang Ming's answer, Li Nanke closed his eyes slightly, and murmured: "Everything is clear."

Although he had figured out the final truth a long time ago, he still hoped in his heart that he had made a mistake.

This is not the truth he wants.

Because it is too cruel.

Leng Xinnan was not stupid, and gradually understood something from Li Nanke's series of conversations, Yudi was extremely serious: "That is to say, at that time, Mrs. Lin had a quarrel with someone in the room, which happened to be heard by Lin Jiaoyue and the others next door. "

"By the way, Mr. Leng, when you rushed to the Lin Mansion, did you hear that Miss Lin fell into a dream of red rain?"

Li Nanke turned to look at the woman's beautiful face and asked.

Leng Xinnan shook her head: "No, we just rushed over from Yuncheng, and happened to see the maid of Lin's mansion looking anxious in front of the county government office. I only found out that Miss Lin was awake from a nightmare after I asked her. Something was wrong, so I rushed over."

Li Nanke murmured: "So that's how it is."

In other words, even without him at that time, Lin Jiaoyue could have been saved.

"Go to He Qingyu's house!"

Li Nanke let out a long breath and said in a deep voice.

……

This is the second time Li Nanke entered He Qingyu's house.

Although the body had been removed, the creepy, after-death atmosphere in the house still seemed to be lingering.

Li Nanke rummaged through the house, but couldn't find what he wanted.

"Ms. Zhang said that He Qingyu usually draws some pictures of women alone. He never lets anyone see these pictures, so he probably hid them. There must be a hidden compartment in this room, everyone look carefully."

Although the identity of He Qingyu's old lover has been confirmed, Li Nanke still wants to find evidence.

This is the rigorous attitude inherited from the previous life.

"Dark grid?"

Leng Xinnan looked at the bookcases, tables and chairs in the room, and frowned. "Should I ask Mrs. Zhang to come over, maybe she knows where the agency is."

"Oh, why bother?"

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Meng Xiaotu suddenly waved his arm, and saw a stream of light flash past.With a bang, the table and chairs in front of him shattered into pieces.

Immediately afterwards, furniture such as bookcases and wooden boxes were not spared.

After a corner of the wall inside the bookcase was smashed open, picture scrolls mixed with scraps of paper flew out.

The dark box is here.

"Give you."

Meng Xiaotu handed the picture scroll with a woman to Li Nanke.

Li Nanke stared dumbfounded at the house that was demolished in an instant. He was speechless and gave a thumbs up: "You are more huskies than huskies, take it."

"What is a husky?" The little girl looked confused.

Although the process was very violent, finding the hidden compartment so quickly saved time.

However, Li Nanke's attention was attracted by Meng Xiaotu's weapon.

It turned out to be a meteor double hammer.

The double hammers are as big as a girl's fist, engraved with exquisite runes, and made of special metal.

The connected golden iron chain is also engraved with runes.

At first glance, it is not ordinary.

Li Nanke complained secretly: "The little girl likes to play ball at such a young age."

The women in the paintings are delicate and graceful, and many of them are portraits with disheveled clothes. The lines are drawn ingeniously, which makes people daydream, as if the painter has experienced it himself.

But looking through all the scrolls, only the face of a woman is not painted.

"Oh, you are really cautious."

Li Nanke smiled.

Although the woman's face was not painted, a small crescent moon mark on the woman's waist was preserved.

This is sufficient as evidence.

"what is this?"

Leng Xinnan, who was rummaging through the hidden compartment, suddenly gave a cry of surprise and took out an object.

After opening it, it turned out to be a piece of animal skin.

The fur is thick enough to cover a grown man.

Li Nanke took the animal skin, his eyes flickered, and he looked at Leng Xinnan: "Is there any transcript of Lin Jiaoyue's confession at that time?"

"Have."

Guo Gang took it out.

Li Nanke opened the transcript and browsed it carefully. Soon he sighed and showed Leng Xinnan a line of the record: "After Lin Jiaoyue was injured, people from the yamen and the night patrol department questioned her, and the others answered very well. In detail, that's all."

"She didn't say what the monster looks like?" Leng Xinnan's pupils shrank slightly.

Guo Gang said: "I asked the brother who made the record before, and he said that Lin Jiaoyue was a little blurry because she was too scared."

"Fear?"

A sarcasm flashed across the corner of Li Nanke's mouth. "But when we encountered monsters in the backyard of the Lin Mansion, she was able to recognize them at a glance."

Leng Xinnan suddenly raised her head: "Lin Jiaoyue and the others never encountered monsters in Cuihong Mountain!"

"No, they met."

Li Nanke picked up the animal skin and said every word. "This monster is He Qingyu!"
