Chapter Twelve Death Scene

After I finished speaking, the middle-aged rich man was speechless and his expression showed a trace of panic. Zhang Yixiao immediately turned his head and said to the middle-aged rich man: "Why did you go there at that time?"

The middle-aged rich man suddenly became angry and said: "Are you doubting me? I have no motive for killing at all."

Sun Shishi grabbed Bai and said: "Brother Sun and the others have no motive for killing. This place is so poor. Is it possible that they are still breaking into houses and robbing them?"

The rich man choked for a moment and looked at Mr. Sun, as if he wanted to slap him in the face. I was secretly happy. I doubted anything in my heart. I had to pull someone into trouble no matter what, so I continued: "According to Officer Zhang's preliminary judgment.

, the deceased’s death time was between nine and ten o’clock this morning, and you

As I said before, Fatty Zou and I were in the meditation room area for more than 20 minutes before we came out. In other words, after you saw Fatty Zou and me entering the meditation room area, you never left. So, why are you waiting there?

We had more than twenty minutes? Where were you in the forty minutes after Fatty Zou and I left?"

The rich man's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't say a word.

Master Sun said in surprise: "Brother Sun, it would be such a waste if you didn't become a policeman. This reasoning is really beautiful."

Couldn't it be beautiful? I feel like I'm in a mess these days. If my brain doesn't think and reason, I'm afraid I will be strangled to death by this mess.

Immediately afterwards, Master Sun muttered again: "Let me think about it, according to Brother Sun's statement, the one who is most suspicious is you." He pointed at the middle-aged rich man.

The rich man's wife immediately screamed: "What nonsense are you talking about? You need evidence when you speak!"

I said coldly: "Then did you have any evidence when you doubted me? I won't pursue anything else. I just want to ask you, where were you in the next forty minutes? Is there anyone who can testify?"

The rich man's eyes widened, his throat rolled, and his face was gloomy. He seemed to be thinking about how to answer. However, at this moment, Xiao Meng suddenly shouted: "Dad was gone. I have been looking for him for a long time!"

"Don't make a sound!" The rich man's wife's expression changed drastically, and she covered her son's mouth, and her whole face suddenly turned pale.

The middle-aged rich man obviously did not expect such a thing to happen. There was a look of panic on his face. After a moment, he said: "This ghost place is small and boring. I just wanted to climb to the top of the mountain and happened to see this place."

The two people were sneaking around, so I waited outside to see what they were doing. Then, they also started to climb to the top of the mountain. These two people and I didn't know each other and didn't want to go the same way with them, so I went up the opposite mountain road.

Climb to the top of the mountain.”

Zhang Yixiao said: "Has anyone seen it?"

The middle-aged rich man was a little frustrated and said: "No, I am the only one. However, at best, I can only list them as suspects. After all, they are the two people who have actually entered the Zen room."

Zhang Yixiao frowned and said thoughtfully: "We don't have any evidence on hand now. In fact, everyone present, including the monks in the ancient temple, may be the murderer, but..." He paused and looked at me

and the middle-aged rich man, said: "It's just that now that you are accusing each other, making you the biggest suspect, then, during this period, no one can leave this ancient temple."

The first person who had an objection was a female college student with short hair. She shouted: "What! Do you want us to continue to stay in this place where we have died? No, I want to go home immediately!"

Zhang Yixiao said: "No one can leave until the local investigation team arrives."

I said: "Officer Zhang, have you already called the police?"

Zhang Yixiao shook his head, took out his mobile phone, and said: "There is no signal or network here. If you want to hold on tightly, you can only walk for more than six hours out of the mountainous area to Yunlong County. And it rained heavily last night. According to reports,

The monk said that another small-scale mudslide broke out on the way out. Before the mud dries, there is no way we can leave even if we choose to hike."

The short-haired girl murmured: "It's over, we are trapped here." Then, she looked at the long-haired girl next to her and said: "Xiaoman, why did the murderer kill him? Will he attack us?"

Xiaoman was relatively quiet. Hearing this, he said nervously: "No, don't think blindly. There is still a police officer here at least, and he will protect us." As he spoke, Xiaoman looked at Zhang Yixiao with his black eyes, and Zhang Yixiao sipped.

With thin lips and firm eyes, he said: "During this period, I will do my best to ensure everyone's safety."

For a while, the atmosphere fell silent again, and the guy with the dirty mouth didn't know if he was raped by the rabbit, and he has not come back yet.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost time to eat. At midnight, from the back door of the cafeteria, two haggard-looking monks walked out, one carrying a rice bowl and the other carrying a vegetable basin. They placed the food on the table beside them.

Metal dinner plates are placed on the side of the table.

To be honest, with the current situation, no one has much appetite, but there is no separate meal in the temple. There are only three meals a day. If you don't eat now, you will be hungry until the evening. After a moment of pause, everyone got up and went to get it.

He picked up a dinner plate and served himself a meal.

Today's lunch was white rice, with stir-fried cabbage, braised tofu, and mushroom soup. I looked at the people queuing up for rice, as well as the monks with haggard faces and expressionless faces, and suddenly had a strange illusion.

I feel that we are not here for tourism, but a group of prisoners who have entered the prison and are getting food, and these expressionless monks are the prison guards.

This is really a weird idea.

After finishing my own portion of the meal, I also took a portion for Jizui and placed it on the empty seat next to me. At this moment, except for Sun Shishi and Zhang Yixiao, no one else wanted to sit with me. Likewise, becoming

The latest suspect No. 2, a middle-aged rich man, also received a cold reception, but he has a wife and children, and he has always disdained socializing with people like us, so he is very comfortable.

Until now, I desperately missed Zou Jian's noisy mouth.

During the meal, none of us talked about the dead. After all, talking about the dead at this time really disturbed the appetite. After the meal was finished, the others dispersed one after another, and only the three of us were left in the canteen.

Only then did I have the opportunity to ask: "Brother Zhang, what exactly happened? How did that monk die?"

It was obviously not the first time that Zhang Yixiao had experienced a murder case. He acted relatively calmly and told me the cause and course of the incident.

At about a little after eleven o'clock at noon, the rich man's wife discovered that her naughty son was missing again, so she searched in the ancient temple. This woman understood the nature of children and knew that the more forbidden places were, the more attractive they were to them.

It got bigger and bigger, so in the end, she found the front of the meditation room.

All the meditation rooms are closed, except the door of the first one is open.

The rich man's wife called her son's name and looked into the meditation room. She immediately saw her son squatting at the door, not knowing what he was doing.

The rich man's wife immediately rushed into the meditation room, spanked her son directly, and cursed: "This is a cliff, how dangerous it is. Didn't I tell you not to stay too far away from your mother?"

After educating her son, she had the time to observe other things. Then, she found a person lying in front of her son.

It is a monk who is face down and his back is up, motionless.

As an adult, she immediately realized something was wrong. After all, as a normal person, who would lie motionless on the ground?

She was startled and asked Xiaomeng to step back. Then, she patted the monk on the shoulder and said, "Little master?"

The monk didn't move, the flesh under his hands was stiff.

She realized what had happened almost immediately, and her hair stood up for a moment. She screamed, hugged her son and ran outside, shouting: "Someone is dead, someone is dead!"

Since the Zen room was connected to our accommodation area, she ran a few steps before she met Zhang Yixiao. Zhang Yixiao asked about the situation and immediately went to the crime scene. The other monks in the Zen room had already been alerted.

, by the time Zhang Yixiao arrived at the scene, the dead man's meditation room was already surrounded by monks.

These monks obviously did not expect such a thing to happen, and each of them looked stiff. This was the first time that Zhang Yixiao had contact with the monks that the fat monk thought. The moment he saw those monks, Zhang Yixiao felt very uncomfortable, as if watching

What arrived were not people, but zombies.

The monks gathered around blankly, with a look of confusion and panic on their haggard faces. Zhang Yixiao didn't see the fat monk in charge, so he took out his police officer ID card and asked everyone to leave the meditation room.

Survey the site.

The monks were as stunned as puppets. They walked out of the Zen room one by one with silent expressions and gathered around the outside of the Zen room. At first glance, it looked like there were many mummies lined up outside.

Zhang Yixiao was not a person who was easily frightened. He pursed his thin lips and turned his head to survey the scene.

He first observed the environment of the Zen room.

The window is open, but outside the window is a cliff. Looking out from here, you can only see the distant mountains and the jungle below the cliff. At the end of the jungle, there is a road with abrupt yellow mud, like a small yellow snake.

The layout of the room is relatively complete. To the left is a rough stone bed carved out of the mountain wall, with a mat spread on it and a futon placed on the mat.

The reeds on the futon have been worn with many burrs, and it can be seen that they have been used for a long time.

Zhang Yixiao had no tools in his hands, and the murderer's fingerprints were likely left at the scene. Therefore, Zhang Yixiao did not touch any of the furnishings in the room until the situation was determined.

The only thing that moved was the corpse.

Because the body may have been caused by sudden death or sudden cerebral hemorrhage. If you want to understand what happened, you must first determine the cause of death. If it was a natural death, then there will be no problem.
