"Oh, then I am really right to bring you here today." Di Renjie still had a smile on his face, but the muscles around his eyes moved, and he looked happier than before.
"Where did Brother Run meet this young man?"
"If I remember correctly, this little brother is really a beggar." Li Chongrun wiped the corpse's face again, becoming more and more sure of his judgment.
Li Chongrun recalled the scene when he first met him. He was planning to go to the West Market to buy someone. After looking around twice, he still couldn't find the person. Seeing his sincere smile, he gave him a few copper coins and asked him to bring someone over.
, this was the first time I met Old Man Chen.
"He should be the little flower boy from Xishikou. He usually makes a living by bringing customers to Yazi."
"Brother Run is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He even knows this kind of person."
"Uncle, thank you very much. The children in Grand View Garden are all from the Lifa teething shop, and they are all called by him."
Li Chongrun felt a little regretful. He hadn't been to the West Market much recently. He didn't expect that this little beauty would disappear like this.
While there was still sunlight, Di Renjie asked Old Xingtou, the autopsy examiner, to examine the body again, focusing on whether there were any signs of violation.
I just checked and found nothing.
"Old Xingtou, can you tell what caused the wound?" Seeing that there were no clues elsewhere, Di Renjie thought about making a fuss about the wound.
Lao Xing looked at the wound for a long time in front of the sun. He could not identify the specific murder weapon. He could only judge that the murderer used a very sharp narrow-edged knife.
However, Lao Xing still made some discoveries in the removed magazine.
"The person who removed Xiaolangjun's kidney sac was very professional."
Old Xingtou carefully observed the wound and made a very confident judgment.
"The wounds on the lower body were very small, leaving almost no trace at all, as if they were castrated from heaven."
Li Chongrun asked curiously: "Could it be that this little beggar is actually a heavenly eunuch?"
"Although the old man's eyesight is dim, he can't clearly see where the wound is."
Di Renjie also went over to check the wound that Old Xingtou mentioned, "Looking at the degree of healing of the wound, this young man should have had his baby cut a month ago."
When Di Renjie saw that he could no longer find any clues and saw that the sun had turned westward, he took Li Chongrun and said goodbye to Old Xingtou, preparing to go to the place in Xishi City where Li Chongrun had seen this little flower boy before.
"Uncle, I was interrupted by Mr.
Li Chongrun now had questions in his head, and asked Di Renjie questions on the way back to Luoyang.
"It is very simple to judge that there is a monk in the coffin. I first judged that the people carrying the coffin were monks. Because people who are used to wearing monk shoes will definitely feel uncomfortable between the toes when walking in straw sandals worn by ordinary people.
So I would unconsciously raise my big toe."
Di Renjie pointed at the official boots under his feet, and then at the straw sandals under the feet of the civilian husband passing by. Li Chongrun then discovered that in order to increase the sturdiness, the civilian husband's straw sandals would have a flip-flop structure drilled through the gap between the big toe and the
The soles are connected together.
"A few monks dressed up as poor people and went to the funeral. They must not be ordinary people who died in the temple. Otherwise, those monks must have put on cassocks and performed rituals to show their benevolence. Although they were still sent to the mass grave in the end
Go, but there’s no point in cross-dressing.”
"Then there is only one reason left. The person who died was a monk, and he was not an ordinary monk. The imperial court conducted a very strict census of the population in the temple. If a monk died, the government would take back the certificate and tell the successor monk.
You can only get the ultimatum back here. If you burn it rashly, the person recorded on the ultimatum is inconsistent with the record kept by the government, so the ultimatum will be invalid. It is extremely difficult to apply for a new ultimatum, and the temple will definitely not give up easily."
Li Chongrun suddenly realized: "Then there is only one possibility left. The person who died was a monk, but a similar person was found to replace him, so he had to dress up like an ordinary person for a funeral."
Di Renjie looked like a child who could be taught, "That's how I guessed he was a monk, and a young monk at that."
"Then why doesn't my uncle send someone to investigate the Great Bao'en Temple? If there is any problem, we will know right away."
"The Great Baoen Temple is a royal temple with too many rules. If we don't have any evidence, we will go in and search. I am afraid that the abbot of the Great Baoen Temple, Xue Huaiyi, will sue the emperor."
"Then how did my uncle know that he would be mourned today?" Li Chongrun still had one question that he didn't get the answer to.
"People from Wuling told me." Di Renjie did not hide it from Li Chongrun. He took out a note from his arms and handed it to Li Chongrun.
The note was clearly written in very small characters, including the time, place, and route of the funeral, and even some descriptions of the deceased little beggar.
"Master Di, have you captured the Wuling people?" Li Chongrun asked curiously about the origin of the note, "Or have you placed an undercover agent into the Wuling people's organization?"
"On the contrary, the Wuling people have placed an undercover agent next to me. When I woke up at the inn yesterday morning, this note was posted next to my bed. It was difficult not to see it."
Di Renjie stroked his beard in fear, "It's just why this Wuling man wanted to remind me about this, I haven't figured it out yet."
"Hey, you two gentlemen are invited inside."
A group of four people rushed to the Lifa Ya Store in the West Market before the sun went down. Lifa Ya Store was doing good business today, and there were many people sitting in the lobby.
Zhike's disciple led the two of them to sit at a remote table and chair. After waiting for a while, a man Yazi, who was dressed similar to the old man Chen before, approached him enthusiastically.
"Uncle, do you know that we have an old manager named Chen in our Lifa Ya business?"
"No, I don't know him. I just came here."
The person who came to greet him immediately threw a classic triple couplet at Li Chongrun, and left in a hurry without even doing business.
"Hey!" Li Chongrun shouted to the man Yazi, but saw that he had already moved to the inner hall within a few steps and disappeared.
Fortunately, Di Renjie was well-informed. He made a few gestures and crossed his chopsticks on top of his food. Zhike saw this and knew that he had his own requirements, so he simply changed the chopsticks.
Come here alone.
"This official, do you have any special requests?"
