The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 707: Red lotus and white lotus root are origi

Is this...

  Sun Shaozong took the dark post in his hand and looked at it carefully, his complexion was much more solemn than before.

   This post is made with hard paper and soaked in thick ink. After it dries, it looks firm and shiny. It is very similar to the legendary "Black Post" that appeared in the criminal name division of Shuntian Prefecture.

   He hesitated a little, Sun Shaozong tucked the post tightly in his sleeves, then crawled out of the cabin with his waist, and asked the three small officials who were looking at each other on the shore: "Is there anything like charcoal in the pavilion for heating?"

   When the three small staff heard the words, their backbones were involuntarily shortened by half, and one of them replied: "Yes, there is a basin of charcoal fire, and..."

   Without waiting for him to finish, Sun Shaozong jumped ashore and rushed to the pavilion in a stride.

   But there were a few dishes on the stone table, and another pot of hot wine on the charcoal basin, which was gurgling bubbling at this time.

   Besides, there were three hand stoves on the stone table.

   is so leisurely!

   No wonder the little officials were a little bit silly when I asked the question just now.

  Sun Shaozong is a little annoyed at the moment, but he can think about it again, what is the official leisure and snow appreciation these days? I really want to be able to make a few good poems, and I can't say that I can't get the name of a literati.

   Besides, this matter is not worth mentioning in person, and it’s not too late to wait for it to be dealt with in the future.

   The most important thing at the moment is to check a priori whether this black post is true or not.

   Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong wrapped the handle of the pot with a rag, lifted the jug from the charcoal basin, and turned over the shelf covering the jug with his toes, and then threw the post into the basin.

   The fire suddenly rose, and most of the post was burned in an instant, and the remaining small part was faintly ‘unjust’.

   is genuine!

   Sun Shaozong took the opportunity to sit down on the stone bench, frowning and thinking about what the case in front of him meant.

   As mentioned earlier, this ‘black post’ serial case was a series of sensational cases in the capital before. The successor of Shuntian Fu Zhizhong Ge Changcun was completely discredited because of this, and finally fell into the situation of breaking the jar.

   But the black posts of Shuntian Mansion quietly appeared on Ge Changcun's book case after the case was over.

   If Qiu Yunfei had not insisted on pursuing the investigation, maybe no one would have discovered that this post was actually related to unjust and wrong cases.

   But this post now appears brazenly with the corpse, which is obviously different from the black post of Shuntian Mansion.

   Is it...

   The master of the black post is challenging himself?

Sun Shaozong would have such conjectures, and it is not just an imagination. When he discussed the case with Qiu Yunfei, he vaguely felt that this case seemed to be similar to the several cases instigated by a masked man in black two years ago. Place.

   are all manipulated by behind-the-scenes black hands, and the dead are also extremely guilty, but they suffer from no evidence to bring them to justice.

  The executors often hide extremely deeply, and even have nothing to do with the deceased, and only out of righteous indignation, the killer is hurt.

   Two years ago, the modus operandi designed by the masked man in black was basically seen through by Sun Shaozong.

   And from his series of actions at the beginning, and even the subsequent ‘black posts’ incident, he was obviously very conceited about his level of planning the case.

   even a little bit of loneliness is not self-respect-obviously no one sees the flaw, he wants to send a black post.

   Based on this inference, he took the initiative to find the door to "turn over", which is reasonable.

   80% of these two monks also carry some blood debts on their backs, otherwise they would not be selected by him and sent to Dali Temple as ‘sacrifices’.

"grown ups."

   Just as Sun Shaozong was pondering, Zuo Si Cheng Yang Zhiming also rushed over after hearing the news, and cautiously asked: "The more people gather on this shore, do you think the body is condensed first."

   Sun Shaozong heard the words and looked up to the shore, and saw that there were a lot of people surrounded by small groups of people, pointing to the awning boat and talking.

   "Convergence is unnecessary."

  Sun Shaozong said: "It's freezing in this cold day, and the corpse won't rot for a while - so, taking advantage of the crowds now, I thought of dragging the ship ashore and sending it to a nearby courtyard for storage."

   Speaking of this, he said sternly: "Remember to keep the original appearance as much as possible, and don't damage the scene inside."

   Get the boat ashore?

   want to keep the original appearance of the crime scene?

   Yang Zhiming looked bitter, but he didn't dare to say anything. He turned around and waited to go to the shore to catch a strong man, but just two steps away, he was called back by Sun Shaozong.

   "Arrange for someone to investigate along the shore to see where the ship floated from and who the owner is."

   "In addition, I will send people to the temples in Beijing to ask if there are any missing monks."

   "If the manpower is not enough, go to Shuntian Mansion to temporarily transfer some guards."

When Yang Zhiming was sent away, Sun Shaozong looked at the canopy boat, and he might not be able to drag it up for a while. If he was willing to make a move, it would naturally be easy, but as a dignified Shaoqing, it was not in a critical moment. What kind of rough work? Can you do it yourself?

   therefore ordered people to find the archives of the ‘black post’ case and look through it in this pavilion.

   Looking at this side, someone came back to report:

   First of all, this boat was owned by nearby fishermen, but it was stolen last night.

   According to the testimony pieced together by witnesses along the coast, the ship should have sailed out of the reeds on the opposite bank of the Dragon King Temple at first, but the white sails were not hung on the ship at the beginning, and the bow was also maneuvered.

  In other words, the murderer calmly set up the white sails when the ship drove to the vicinity of Dali Temple, and then abandoned the ship and fled.

   The murderer’s water must be good, and he is not afraid of death. In this rainy and snowy weather, in case of cramps in the water, it is appropriate to sink to the bottom of the water to feed the bastard.

   Is it a fisherman?

   was looking around and speculating, and someone came over to report it, but this time it was definitely not good news, because the two officials pushed me and no one would speak first.

Finally, he looked up and glanced at them, and then someone said: "My lord, there is a message from the Shuntian Mansion, saying that there is no manpower for a while, so let's send troops from another yamen~lightnovelpub.net ~Sun Shaozong frowned, secretly asking that Ge Changcun is crazy?

   arbitrarily report the case to Dali Temple, at most it is not well evaluated, and it will not hurt the bones.

   But when this ‘superior relevant department’ requested assistance in the investigation, he refused so rudely and directly, but it was obviously suspected of malfeasance.

   In addition, he has a poor reputation. If he takes the opportunity to participate in a book, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat it.

   But...

  According to Qiu Yunfei's words, although his abilities are insufficient, he is not stupid. Such obvious omissions should not be committed.

   "Did Shuntian Mansion say, why can't we get people?"

"This one……"

   The little official who spoke to him suddenly became dumbfounded.

  , a colleague on the side hurriedly added: "I heard that the Zhongshun Palace was robbed by the thief, and two Taoist priests abducted a lot of treasures, so Shuntian Palace and Chengfang Camp were ordered to search."

   Zhongshun Palace was a thief?

   Two Taoist priests ran away?

   Isn't it a Taoist who wants to use the heart and liver of a virgin to make alchemy and loves to nourish poison?

   This really ran away, but King Zhongshun realized that the wind was wrong, so...

and many more!

   Sun Shaozong's brain suddenly flashed. The two monks had just picked their heads, and the clothes on their bodies exuded a musty smell. Obviously, they had just looked through them and found them out, and they didn't even have time to wash and dry them.

   Plus they have their hearts gouged out, this is similar to the way those boys and girls die...

   Could it be said that these two were not monks, but Taoist priests who had escaped from Zhongshun Palace? !
