Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 130: Forgetting Each Other
Yuan Xingtai suddenly raised the dagger and stabbed his own throat, wanting to end his life on the spot!
However, just as the dagger was thrust out, the strange iron umbrella flew towards him, and he felt his eyes go dark before he knew anything...
It turned out that Xu Zun had been prepared for this move and had Huo Anu prepared in advance.
As soon as he made any unusual movement, Huo Anu would immediately take action...
…
Half an hour later, Xu Zun went to Yuanxing Tainan City's house to check the scene.
Yuan Xingtai converted a dark room in the house into a Buddhist temple, and deep inside the dark room was where he committed the crime.
From there, Xu Zun saw many of Yuan Xingtai's crime tools.
Just as Huo Anu said, there were many bloodstains that had not been wiped off, and the scene was filled with the smell of blood.
According to Xu Zun's understanding, Liankong was knowledgeable and well-versed in medicine.
When Yuan Xingtai first joined the army, he followed the battalion's medical officer to help the wounded. He learned a lot of medical knowledge and the structure of human organs, which laid the foundation for him to help Liankong commit the crime...
…
evening.
Shangyuan County Government Office.
The people were delighted to learn that the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing had been solved. The governor Li Yan's cold seemed to have been cured all of a sudden. He suddenly looked rosy-cheeked and full of energy.
"That's amazing, really amazing!" Li Yan praised Xu Zun endlessly, "I gave you three days, but you solved the case on the second day. You are truly a genius!"
"Yes, yes, Xu Tixing is indeed worthy of his reputation!" Taimin also spoke up for the first time, echoing with admiration, "If it were us, we wouldn't even dare to think about it. How could the flag captain be a monk-robed killer?"
The reason why Taimin is back to life now, besides the fact that the case was solved, is naturally another important reason, that is, he did not make a wrong judgment ten years ago, and Monk Liankong was the real murderer.
However, if they had been able to find out all the truth at the beginning, there would not have been the case of the female corpse in monk's clothing today!
But no matter what, Taimin and Ju Ran were able to capture Liankong back then, which was a great achievement.
Otherwise, Lian Kong and Yuan Xingtai don't know when they will stop. Yuan Xingtai is even ready to commit a crime in Hanzhou.
"This matter does have a huge impact," Li Yan said, "As a school lieutenant, I must report this to the court, and let His Majesty and the Queen Mother make the final decision.
"Jiying," he said to Xu Zun, "In this case, I'm afraid we will have to delay in Shangyuan City even if we don't want to!
"Let's finish the trial of the female corpse in monk's clothing first, and then we will return to Wude City!
"Also, I'm worried that Yuan Xingtai still has some influence in the Shangyuan City army. It might not be appropriate to detain him in Shangyuan City. It would be better to take him and the bandits back to Wude City!"
"Yes!" Xu Zun agreed, but he was thinking about other things.
"Captain Shen," Li Yan turned to Shen Xinglian and said, " The morale of the army must not be shaken. You will temporarily take over Yuan Xingtai's military affairs. You must manage it strictly and no unrest should occur."
"Yes!" Shen Xinglian agreed.
"We will make the case public as soon as possible so that the people of Shangyuan City can understand the truth and put their minds at ease..."
…
After coming out of the county government office, Xu Zun still looked worried.
He could see that there were many things hidden behind the two major cases, the Chongtian Temple case and the female corpse in monk's clothing case.
Governor Li Yan was so happy not only because the serial murder case was solved, but also because the case involved Buddhism.
The current Queen Mother promotes Xuan Dao. If she knew that the serial murders in Shangyuan City were related to Buddhism, she would certainly pay special attention to it, which would naturally be of great benefit to Li Yan's achievements.
Although the previous Chongtian Temple case involved Xuan Dao, they could say that it was a thief impersonating Xuan Dao, so it would have nothing to do with Xuan Dao.
Presenting the two cases together became a perfect plus point, allowing Li Yan to reverse his declining trend.
But if there was no monk's clothing case, then the nature of the Chongtian Temple case would be obviously different, which could only mean that Li Yan's supervision was poor, which was a definite demerit.
Li Yan might even consider concealing or not reporting the incident...
"Xu Zun..."
Xu Zun was thinking about his own things when someone called him from behind. It was the Jingwu Captain Shen Xinglian.
Through working together to solve the case, Shen Xinglian's attitude towards Xu Zun has changed a lot.
"Captain Shen!"
Xu Zun bowed and greeted him.
"This case is really thanks to you," Shen Xinglian flattered for the first time, " If it weren't for you, even if we suspected Captain Yuan, we wouldn't be able to do anything to him, right?"
"Doubt?" Xu Zun asked, "You have doubted it too?"
"No, no, no, it's not that kind of suspicion," Shen Xinglian explained, "but I noticed before that Captain Yuan often wears Buddhist beads. I feel that he must be a Buddhist, but he seems to be deliberately hiding it..."
"Hmm..." Xu Zun nodded.
"The Xuan Dao is so popular nowadays that it has become a stepping stone for promotion," Shen Xinglian said helplessly, "Those who believe in the Xuan Dao will be favored by the higher-ups! My eldest brother... Alas..."
Xu Zun knew that the Shen family had three brothers, and the eldest brother was called Shen Xingran. He was also the one with whom he had the best relationship among the three brothers.
This person is kind and amiable, and like Mr. Shen, he takes good care of me.
"What? Brother Xingran is also learning Taoism?" Xu Zun asked.
"Yes," Shen Xinglian nodded, "and he learned it from those people in the court. It is said that they are all disciples of Master Qiu!"
Master Qiu?
Xu Zun quickly obtained relevant information by searching in his mind. The popularity of the Xuan Dao in the Great Xuan Dynasty had a lot to do with this person.
The Imperial Master Qiu was named Qiu Dingtian. It was said that he could call the wind and rain, tame tigers and elephants, and had profound Taoist skills . Empress Dowager Lin respected him very much and conferred him the title of Imperial Master, giving him a huge influence in the court.
However, this person suddenly passed away two years ago. It was said that he died while searching for the elixir of immortality for the empress dowager.
"If it weren't for this, Big Brother wouldn't be able to join the Ministry of War," Shen Xinglian continued, "nor would he be able to join the team that followed the Crown Prince to the East China Sea..."
Xu Zun remembered that Shen Xingran was unable to come back to attend Mr. Shen’s funeral because he went to the East China Sea.
"Hasn't he come back yet?" Xu Zun asked.
"He is going to the vast East China Sea and is on a diplomatic mission to ten countries," Shen Xinglian said. "How can he come back in a year or two? He doesn't even know that his father has passed away!"
"Crown Prince..." Xu Zun wondered, "Why would they let the Crown Prince go on a diplomatic mission to the East China Sea? Isn't that too dangerous?"
"How can we guess what's going on in the court?" Shen Xinglian said helplessly, "What I'm most worried about now is..."
He opened his mouth and wanted to talk to Xu Zun about Shen Qian's matter, wanting Xu Zun to persuade Shen Qian again.
However, since he had embarrassed Xu Zun before, it was naturally difficult for him to say such a thing out loud.
"Xu Zun," he had no choice but to change his words, "I'm afraid you'll have to spend some more time on Yuan Xingtai's case. If you need anything, just come to me!"
"good!"
Xu Zun didn't bother to be polite with him. He immediately bowed and the two of them parted ways.
At this time, Xu Zun certainly didn't want to mention Shen Qian's matter.
Although he still had the "Linjiangxian" in his arms, he had already figured out that he and Shen Qian had no emotional foundation, so forgetting each other in this world might be the best choice...
