Chapter 25 blood suspicion

After a lot of effort, the two transported Hong Kuoji's body back to the puppet gate.Yun Jisang originally wanted to go to Luo Jiankong's place to investigate, but was forced by Zhuo Anjie to go back and have breakfast. Cao Zhong entrusted Li Zhongxiu and Gu Yinglan to guard Luo Ankong's mansion together.One of the two started late and has nothing to do with Li Wuxin; the other is a Christian who has just arrived, and he can be regarded as the most innocent person so far.This shows Cao Zhong's good intentions. As for why there must be two people, firstly, it is convenient to monitor each other; secondly, although Hong Kuoji has committed suicide, no one in the puppet sect dares to be alone now, for fear that he will also end up in a miserable end. .

Under Zhuo Anjie's insistence, Yun Jisang had to go back to Ou Xingju for dinner.Seeing that she couldn't beat her senior sister, Yun Jisang decided not to go in a hurry, instead she relaxed, ate a full meal, and took Ming Huan to play in the yard for a while, then invited her senior sister to the study to deduce the case. "In the first bloody case, after Zhang Chun was killed, the murderer took his kidney and used his body as a hammer." Yun Jisang slowly wrote Zhang Chun's words on the paper with a pen in his left hand. name. "When Zhang Chun was killed, he was carrying a lot of money, and he was wearing a pair of straw sandals. It was obvious that he was about to flee. The murderer killed him and took his kidney, which was exactly what the crazy mother-in-law said—to remove your kidney and make him go away. You have enough to do it."

He wrote Linghu Tiangong's name on the paper again: "The second murdered was Linghu Tiangong. The murderer took his liver and crushed all the heads of the dolls he made. The second prophecy of "Dug out your liver so that you cannot see with eyes, then it means..." "Linghu Tiangong saw something he shouldn't have seen, and that's why he was killed." Zhuo Anjie was on the side, thoughtfully. "should be." "But isn't Linghu Tiangong an accomplice of the murderer?" "Even if they are accomplices, some things are enough to turn each other against each other." Yun Jisang said lightly, and wrote on the paper again.

He wrote the words "Luo Jiankong", "The last one is Brother Luo, the murderer dug out his heart." "Pull out your heart so that you can't speak." Zhuo Anjie sighed.Although she didn't have a close relationship with Luo Yankong, she was friends after all, and she deeply regrets his tragic death. "Obviously, Brother Luo has been secretly investigating what happened at the bottom of the mountain, and has already suspected the murderer. It's just that for some reason, he has been unwilling to speak out. By the time he wanted to tell the truth, it was already too late."

"This mule is also doing it on his own. Wouldn't it be okay if he said it earlier?" "It can be seen that Brother Luo is also a person who is keen on power and position. He doesn't want to reveal this matter, what he is afraid of is that it will bring disaster to the puppet sect, and it will greatly hinder his own ambition." "Then why did he suddenly want to speak again?" "Yesterday at the foot of the mountain, when the crazy mother-in-law set the fire, I found someone peeping. Although I couldn't catch up, but from the back, it looked like Brother Luo. If it was really him, then all this would not be difficult to explain."

"He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he wanted to tell you the truth!" Zhuo Anjie was stunned, and then asked in confusion, "But how did the crazy mother-in-law know about this?" "Perhaps it was because she was a lunatic that the murderer didn't take precautions and said these three sentences in front of her. But she instinctively wrote them down because of fear." Yun Jisang speculated, then shook his head, "I used to think that the murderer took away the internal organs of the corpse to create Daheitian. After listening to the words of the crazy mother-in-law, I realized that there was another reason for it."

"I still don't understand why the murderer said these three words in a mysterious way to scare people?" "Because he is pretentious. Do you still remember the inscription on the last page of Li Wuxin's handwriting in the secret room?" "Remember, the signature is Yanshi, why?" Yun Jisang smiled slightly, and then asked Zhuo Anjie: "Senior sister, you should have read "Lie Zi? Tang Wen", right? One of them is a fable about puppets, I wonder if senior sister still remembers it?" Zhuo Anjie pointed her chin with her slender index finger, her posture was extremely graceful: "About the puppets? Let me think about it..." Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "But the one about the advocates of Yanshi?"

"That's right. According to its records, when King Mu of Zhou returned from his westward tour of Kunlun, there was a man who offered his work in Yanshi to create a capable advocate in honor of King Mu. This advocate was good at singing and dancing. He brought his concubines to watch together, but the advocator winked at King Mu's beloved concubine. King Mu was furious and wanted to kill Yanshi. Yanshi cut open the advocator's chest to show King Mu. Only then did King Mu find out that advocating The whole body of the advocate is made of leather wood glue paint, white and black paint. His internal organs, muscles, bones and fur are all fake. When these things are put together, the advocate is restored to the original..."

Zhuo Anjie's eyes were slightly closed, and she slowly recited: "When the king tried to abolish his heart, he could not speak; if he abolished his liver, he could not see; Is the coincidence the same as the creator?'” Then, she opened her eyes and said sarcastically, "It turns out that he regards himself as a coincident Yanshi." "The advocate of Yanshi, King Yu Mu, almost lost his life, but his name was finally left in history. From this point of view, this risk is worth taking..." Yun Jisang smiled, looked up at the sky, "Okay, I have to look for evidence first, so as not to let the murderer make excuses at night."

"I'll go with you." "No need, since the murderer has set up this golden cicada's escape, there will never be any more trouble. Today's puppet gate is the safest. Besides, Ming Huan has to be taken care of..." "Then... I cooked dinner and waited for you to come back." A soft sentence, like the morning glow in front of the window, warmed the faces of the two of them. "it is good." The clouds outside the sky spit out the sun suddenly, and the happy parting is to the small window. After leaving Ouxingju, Yunjisang headed northeast all the way.Today he was very relaxed on his feet, and he arrived outside Luo's house in just a short time.From a distance, he saw Li Zhongxiu waiting at the door, as if he had expected him to arrive at this moment.

"Mr. Yun, please come inside." Li Zhongxiu greeted him.The young monk still looked elegant and delicate, seemingly indifferent to everything that happened around him. "No one has touched anything in the room?" Yun Jisang asked casually. "Mr. Yun, don't worry, everything remains in its original state and is not bad at all." Yun Jisang nodded and followed him into the room. Sure enough, the room was still the same as in the morning, a mess.Even Luo Jiankong's corpse was still sitting on the wooden turtle, looking extremely weird. Gu Yinglan was dressed in a water blue dress, and she was standing by the window in a pretty way.She was obviously a little scared, her eyes were closed, her head was tilted out of the window, and she was holding a black wooden box tightly in her arms. "Miss Gu..." Hearing Yun Jisang's call, Gu Yinglan turned her head and opened her eyes a little, seeing that it was indeed him and not some ghost or ghost, she breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her chest and said, "Young Xia Yun, you... You finally came, you really scared me to death, senior brother, he..." As he spoke, the circles of his eyes turned red again. Yun Jisang comforted softly: "Brother Luo's death, I am also very sad. Fortunately, the truth of the case is about to come to light. Starting today, Miss Gu, you don't have to worry anymore." Gu Yinglan nodded, and then asked in a low voice: "Young Xia Yun, is Brother Fifth really the murderer?" "It seems so." Yun Jisang said meaningfully. Gu Yinglan didn't understand what he meant, and said hesitantly, "Fifth Senior Brother is so kind, doesn't he look like a murderer?" Yun Jisang sighed in his heart, in the entire puppet sect, only the girl in front of him might still maintain a pure innocence. He comforted Gu Yinglan a few more words, and then carefully inspected the room. When the crime happened, Luo Jiankong didn't close the door of the room, and the murderer was able to drive straight in.There were no traces of fighting in the courtyard or the living room. The murderer went straight into the inner room and killed Luo Jiankong in one fell swoop.It looked like a mess in the inner room, but there was no sign of fighting. The murderer seemed to be looking for something in a hurry, and left quickly after finding someone outside. Soon, he picked up a black bead from the ground and looked at it intently. "What is that?" Li Zhongxiu asked curiously. "Buddhist beads." Yun Jisang said without looking back, and put the beads away. "Fifth brother's prayer beads?" Gu Yinglan asked tentatively.In the entire puppet gate, only Hong Kuoji wears Buddhist beads. "It seems to be." After finishing speaking, he continued to search seriously.What he wanted to find was the piece of evidence that Luo Jiankong had secretly collected.It's just that he didn't know whether it was taken away by the murderer, or Luo Yankong hid it too tightly, he searched around but couldn't find it. Frowning, he began to rummage through the scattered books on the ground again.Soon, he found an account book for the Puppet Gate.There is nothing special about the account book, it only records the time when Cao Zhong went to Prince Lu's Mansion and the gifts he gave, probably Luo Jiankong got it from Wang Biyan. It can be seen that the head of the sect has put a lot of effort into Lu Wang, and many gifts are astonishingly expensive. No wonder he is so stingy with himself and the people around him.Putting the account book in his arms, Yun Jisang continued to search. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he bent down to pick up a thin book.The book is exactly the "Record of Transforming Figurines" in Zhang Chun's study, but Luo Yankong secretly took it over at some point.After putting away the "Record of Transforming Figurines", he searched around again, and after confirming that there were no other clues, he carefully examined Luo Yukong's body. Among the three puppet sect disciples who were murdered, Zhang Huang died after his chest and abdomen were cut open alive, Linghu Tiangong was poisoned to death and then dissected his body, and Luo Yankong was crushed head-on with heavy methods skull to die. Obviously, this big disciple of the puppet sect was so surprised by his attack that his eyes were wide open, and the astonishment could hardly be concealed on his stiff face. Luo Jiankong was attacked head-on, and he died before he could resist. The murderer was not only someone he knew well, but also extremely skilled, far superior to Luo Jiankong.However, Hong Kuoji was covered with fat, obviously neglected to practice martial arts, which was another negligence of the murderer. Thinking about it, Yun Jisang took out a yellow talisman paper from Luo Jiankong's chest wound, and unfolded it in his hand: "The old root of a rotten tree returns to life. Eliminate all my sins and make me live forever." Until now, these four puppet curses are still a mystery. The murderer killed these three people and left behind this strange puppet curse. This kind of mystical behavior seems meaningless. For me, this is more like a clue, leading my suspicion to Li Wuxin, thus leading to the secret of Daheitian and the many murders under the mountain.But what about the murderer?Is this showing off, or a mysterious ceremony? Putting away the talisman paper, Yun Jisang lightly stroked Luo Jiankong's eyes. "May God bless his soul to rest in peace." Behind him, Li Zhongxiu crossed his chest and said softly. "Only if the real murderer is caught, his soul can rest in peace." Yun Jisang straightened up and said calmly. "Young Xia Yun's eyes are like lightning, and the murderer is naturally invisible." "I hope." Yun Jisang smiled slightly, and looked at Luo Jiankong again, "Brother Luo's body will be handed over to the two of you, and I have to go back to sort out the case, so let's go ahead." After speaking, he bowed his head slightly to the two of them, and went out of the courtyard, ready to go back to the Ou Xingju, and after taking a few steps, someone behind him called out: "Young Xia Yun, wait a minute!" Yun Jisang looked back, but it was Gu Yinglan who followed up panting. He stopped and said, "Why, what's the matter, girl?" Gu Yinglan ran up to him, stammering: "Yesterday I was at the second senior brother's place, don't get me wrong, I... I just went to clean it for him. I'm so stupid, knowing that the second senior brother is gone, but I always think about it." He will go back..." As she spoke, she rubbed the red circles around her eyes and forced a smile, "Unexpectedly, I found the prosthetic limb he made for you. I saw that it was almost finished. I took it back and finished it without authorization. I was thinking of going over to put it on for you this morning, but something happened to the senior brother. But I brought it here, but I don’t know if it suits Yun Shaoxia’s wishes... ..." "Oh, thank you girl." "Can I go back with you? I'll leave after I pretend!" Gu Yinglan said eagerly. "But..." Yun Jisang looked at Luo Zhai again. "Xiaoshi Li said that he will make arrangements." Gu Yinglan hurriedly said, and added timidly, "Master told me to stay there, but I...I really don't want to stay there..." Yun Jisang knew that she had been terrified these days, so her heart softened, and she nodded, "That's fine, I'll trouble the girl like this." After speaking, she turned and walked slowly. Gu Yinglan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged the box tightly, and carefully followed behind him.After walking for a while, Yun Jisang suddenly said: "Miss Gu, there is something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, I wonder if the girl can tell you frankly?" "What's up?" "I remember the night before yesterday, when I was talking to Mrs. Cao, someone was peeping out the window. I couldn't catch up, but I met Miss Gu..." "Ah..." Gu Yinglan couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and then hurriedly covered her. "Miss Gu said at the time that she didn't see anyone." Yun Jisang stopped and looked at her with a smile, "I wonder if the girl's answer is still the same as before?" "This……" Seeing that Gu Yinglan was still hesitating and refused to speak, Yun Jisang said calmly again: "Brother Linghu, right? The man I'm chasing..." Gu Yinglan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly. "Sure enough..." After saying these two words, Yun Jisang stopped asking and walked leisurely.I thought to myself: Just as I guessed, in this way, the motives of these three murders are in line with what the old woman said, and the identity of the real murderer is about to be revealed. The wind weakened, blowing curlingly, gradually calming down.
