"Vansao?"
Sure enough, Sun Chengye had predicted that Sun Shaozong had just arrived at the government office and had not yet settled down in the Criminal and Ming Department, when Jia Yucun hurried over.
What's like 'I look forward to my virtuous brother, just like a long drought', 'This case is complicated and confusing, and it is difficult to see it in the past and the present, non-virtuous brother can't solve it', 'I just lost a governor in Shuntian Prefecture, and there can be no more mistakes' and so on. , Lin Lin always said a lot.
Although Sun Shaozong had already made up his mind to investigate the case, he still deliberately took Qiao for a long time. After listening to him repeat the flattery, he reluctantly agreed.
After that, Sun Shaozong summoned Wei Ruolan and others to inquire about the investigation process of the case and any useful clues they had found.
And the key clue given by Wei Ruolan is the word 'Vansao'!
The so-called 'Fan's Wife' is a bad habit left over from the Xiangguo Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is said that there was a monk who used a prostitute as his wife at that time, and it was called the Fan's Wife.
"What the adults said is the old yellow calendar."
Qiu Yunfei curled his lips aside and said, "Now this sister-in-law is not referring to a prostitute, but a woman from a good family who has an affair with a monk."
Master Qi added on the side: "Actually, this is the legacy left by the Mongolian Tartars when they stole the Central Plains. Those Mongolians were extremely harsh to the people of the Central Plains. They only treated the monks with courtesy, so some outlaws took their bodies to the monks. In the name of a monk, there is nothing wrong with doing evil."
"At that time, many temples had quite a lot of land, and unlike ordinary people, they had to pay heavy taxes, so these evil monks often used this as bait to induce those desperate tenants to sacrifice their wives and daughters for their humiliation in exchange for renting temple property. qualifications."
"And these women are collectively called Fansao."
Hearing Master Qi coming here, Sun Shaozong couldn't help but question: "Such a bad habit, if it is in those remote places, it's fine, but Fayuan Temple is located at the foot of the emperor, and it is the most famous temple in the capital, how dare you dare to take the world. Don't you dare to do such a rude thing?"
Wei Ruolan shook her head: "This is not what Fayuan Temple meant, but that monk Jie Xian made it in private."
But it turned out that the monk Jie Xian was originally a prodigal son in the suburbs of Beijing, and he loved sleeping flowers and Suliu the most in his life. Later, for some unknown reason, he went to Fayuan Temple to be ordained as a monk.
At the beginning, this Jie Xian was quite normal, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
However, since the beginning of spring this year, there have been rumors in the temple that this monk Jiexian secretly started a business of pimps, often connecting the monks in the temple, introducing young women and eldest daughters from good families, and the minister’s counselor’s essence of joyful Zen.
This rumor naturally attracted the attention of the Disciplinary Academy. However, the first seat of the Zhike Academy, Jienian, a disciple of Monk Lichi, tried to prove that the matter was purely non-existent, and the monk Jiexian was saved.
"However, according to our investigation these days, that monk Jie Xian did indeed do pimp business, and the first batch of so-called Fansao were actually pilgrims whose bodies were ruined by him using drugs."
"Those pilgrims were also coerced by him to make peace with the monks in the temple."
"In addition, the first Jie Yan of the Precepts Academy has not given up on investigating this matter, and has been secretly investigating whether there is some kind of ulterior relationship between Jie Xian and Jie Nian."
"It's just that Ji Nian has always been cautious in dealing with things, and so far he has not been held by him."
Everyone's narrative finally came to an end.
Sun Shaozong lowered his head and pondered for a long time before asking, "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you are suspicious of that monk, but since he already has a goal, there has been no progress these days - could it be that there is a clear alibi?"
"exactly."
Master Qi spread his hands and said with a wry smile, "That night when Jiezhi died, Monk Jihan was taking a disciple to patrol the night."
"And the night that Monk Jie Ming was crucified in front of the mountain gate, he happened to be discussing with another apprentice."
Wei Ruolan hurriedly added another sentence: "But the two little monks are orphans who were brought up by Jie anger, so it is very likely that they are covering up their crimes for him."
Master Qi was noncommittal about his addition, and continued: "As for the monk Jie Xiu, although there was no obvious evidence of his alibi when Jie Ming died - but when Jie Zhi was killed before, he was ordered to stay here because he committed anger. Kneeling down in the main hall all night, so the monks who are on duty at night in the temple can testify against it.”
That is to say, the suspicion of retiring can be basically ruled out now, and although monk Jiehan has an alibi twice, he is suspected of hiding relatives.
Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then carefully read the case file that Wei Ruolan brought over twice, and then got up and said, "Seeing is true and hearing is false. Let's go to the scene first."
If before, Sun Shaozong took the initiative to take over the case he was investigating, Wei Ruolan would definitely be a little awkward, but now he is cooperating closely. Hearing that Sun Shaozong said he was going to inspect the scene, he sent someone to prepare a means of transportation without saying a word.
If it is said that he has to make a compromise in order to find out the truth, it does not look like that.
Sun Shaozong was wondering about his change, but Wei Ruolan took advantage of the busyness of the crowd and came up and said mysteriously, "The child has been sent out of the capital."
tsk~
Shouldn't he think that the two of them rescued the 'baby' at the same time, even if he was a comrade in the trenches
He is indeed an arrogant and innocent young man!
Sun Shaozong sighed in his heart, but his face was inexplicable: "What child? Is Wei Tongjuan talking to me?"
The proud expression on Wei Ruolan's face froze, and then her face flushed with embarrassment.
Just when they were about to say something unpleasant, they put the grievance back, but Qiu Yunfei and Master Qi had already packed up and urged them to rush to Fayuan Temple to investigate the case.
Wei Ruolan had no choice but to swallow her words, and with a constipated expression on her face, she walked out of the courtyard of the Criminal Division.
Speechless all the way.
When I arrived at Fayuan Temple, I saw that the square in front of the mountain gate was deserted, and only a few believers were bowing to the mountain gate.
Although it rained yesterday, the road was not very easy to walk. Fayuan Temple is famous in Beijing, but it should not be the only believers. It seems that three monks died in a row, and the reputation of Fayuan Temple was not small. what.
Everyone climbed the ninety-nine-eighty-one steps, seeing a magnificent monastery in front of them, and a few acquaintances and monks also greeted them with their palms folded, but Sun Shaozong suddenly stopped and squatted on the ground to observe carefully. stand up.
"That monk Jie Ming died here?"
After the repeated scouring of the heavy rain last night, the blood on the ground has long since disappeared, but the chisel marks made by the iron drill are still clearly left on the bluestone slab.
"That's right."
Master Qi also squatted by the side, and said with his hands and feet: "The iron drill, which is two feet long and the thickness of the thumb, pierced through Jie Ming's front chest, pierced through the chest cavity and heart, and left it on the ground. Light traces."
Sun Shaozong reached out and stroked the shallow chisel marks, then looked up at the splendid temple gate not far away, pondered for a while, and then asked, "During the autopsy, did you really find no other wounds, let alone any signs of being bound or drugged?"
"No, except for some cotton threads found in his mouth, there were no other scars, and no drug was detected - and from the analysis of blood stains on his hands, he should have been awake at the time."
"In addition, after repeated exploration, it was determined that the body had not been moved. This is indeed the scene of the crime."
Speaking of this, Master Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is also the reason why the students are puzzled. Since he is awake, why didn't he fight desperately? You must know that the iron drill is not very sharp. Hit, it's hard to pierce the heart with one hit."
"And if the murderer is holding the iron drill in one hand and the hammer in the other, how can he suppress the dead?"
