"Yuan Xingtai, for detectives," Xu Zun continued, "the most difficult step is to find the suspect.
“But once the suspect is found, all the remaining problems can be solved!
"After I locked onto you, I remembered that your previous performances were indeed very suspicious.
"For example..." Xu Zun raised the corner of his mouth, "In that Arhat Temple, when I asked Shen Xinglian and Ran Lin about Xiaoying's father being a groom in the army, you were clearly present!
"How could you not know that Xiaoying's case was all handled by you personally? But that day you pretended to be deaf and dumb. It was clear that there was something wrong in your mind.
"Also, no one else noticed, but I noticed that when you appeared from the Arhat Temple, your hair and beard were wet. You seemed to have just taken a shower early in the morning.
"I didn't feel anything at the time, but now that I think about it, you took a shower early in the morning, probably because you wanted to remove a certain smell from your body, right?
"You're afraid that we'll smell that special mosquito-repellent incense from your body, so you have to clean it specially, right?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xingtai blushed, as if Xu Zun was right.
However, he still said angrily:
"That's enough! I finally understand. You keep talking, and everything you say is your inference, not evidence!
"Xu Zun, as a punishment judge in Tangzhou, you should know the procedure of judging cases. You can't just rely on imagination and fabrication, right?
"If you want to arrest me, then provide solid evidence!"
"Yuan Xingtai, you still haven't confessed your guilt?" Ran Lin screamed anxiously, "If it weren't for you, why would you appear in this drug store? You are obviously here to kill people and silence them!
"My Yushu has no enmity against you, why, why do you want to kill her?
"Master Xu, please let me go. I will die with him today! Let me go..."
Ran Lin was struggling in excitement, and the two detectives could hardly control themselves.
"Ran Wuzheng, don't be excited, don't be excited," Zhao Yu advised, "Can't you see that our Lord Xu has just warmed up?"
After saying that, Zhao Yu stepped forward to help, and then they stopped Ran Lin together.
"Captain Yuan," Xu Zun asked Yuan Xingtai, "please explain why you are here? Why are you still carrying a knife?"
"I...I'm here to buy medicine!" Yuan Xingtai replied, "I am a school captain, so why not bring a knife for self-defense?"
"What medicine should I buy? Why should I buy medicine?" Xu Zun launched a series of bombardments, "You have so many followers, can't you just send one of them to buy it for you?
"You just came out of the county government office. There are several big drug stores in front of the county government office. Why don't you buy it? Why do you have to come to the west city so far away to buy it?"
"I...I..." Yuan Xingtai hesitated and said, "I'm just strolling around, you can't control it!"
"Hmph, you have already become like a mirror, right?" Xu Zun said, "You were tricked by us. In the county government office, I deliberately mentioned the adoption of abandoned babies in the temple in front of you.
"Your face changed at that time because you were afraid, afraid that we would find out the truth step by step!
"Then, we deliberately let you hear that we found the insider, just to lure you into the game!
"Unexpectedly, you actually know this pharmacy. This means that you know this monk Rankong who returned to secular life and became a doctor!
"Then do you know that he actually died a long time ago?"
"..." Yuan Xingtai's face turned purple and he was extremely embarrassed.
"I am now more certain that you are one of the abandoned babies taken in by Huguo Temple, right?" Xu Zun asked, "Is the person who took you in and raised you a monk Lian Kong?"
"Xu Zun!" Yuan Xingtai was furious and immediately pulled out his dagger and said, "If you continue to make false accusations out of thin air like this, I will be rude to you!
"You policemen, please listen to me. Without solid evidence, you are not qualified to arrest me.
"If anyone dares to stop me now, it is tantamount to rebellion. Don't blame me for being unkind. Get out of my way!"
As he spoke, Yuan Xingtai strode out with big steps.
Zhao Yu was leading policemen from Shangyuan City. Naturally, these people were afraid of the military cavalry captain, so no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Just like that, Yuan Xingtai walked past Xu Zun in a swaggering manner, which made Ran Lin yell madly again:
"Let me go, let me go. If you can't do it, just let me do it! I want to die with him..."
However, Zhao Yu and the police officers did not dare to let go. They still held Ran Lin tightly to prevent him from rushing over.
"Hmph!" Yuan Xingtai snorted contemptuously, and then stepped out of the pharmacy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he suddenly saw a black umbrella coming towards him!
ah?
Yuan Xingtai was shocked and was immediately forced back by the umbrella.
Seeing the umbrella approaching again, he angrily stabbed it with a dagger.
However, the umbrella turned out to be made of iron. The dagger flicked away, and the tip of the umbrella stabbed Yuan Xingtai directly in the chest.
Yuan Xingtai's round body suddenly fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground!
Uh-huh...
The iron umbrella was put away, but the person holding the umbrella was a tall girl from the Western Regions.
Behind Huo Anu were also the Jingwu captain Shen Xinglian and Shangyuan City’s head catcher Ju Ran.
"You... you... oh..." Yuan Xingtai said angrily, holding his painful chest, "Do you want to rebel?"
"Master Yuan," at this time, Shen Xinglian walked closer with a dark face and frowned, "I don't understand, you obviously have a great future, why...why do you want to be a killer in monk clothes?"
"You... Shen Xinglian, what did you say?" Yuan Xingtai shouted, "Why are you like them?"
"Captain Yuan," Ju Ran stepped forward to salute and explained, "We...we have searched your house in Nanshi, and we found..."
"Ah..." After hearing this, Yuan Xingtai was struck by five thunders and collapsed to the ground on the spot, "You... you... dare to search my house... you..."
"Not only did we find your murder scene," Huo Anu said, "We also found razors, saw blades, monk's robes, rosary beads and other crime tools!
“At the scene, a large number of Buddhist scriptures were also discovered, all of which were written by Lian Kong, and there were even many original manuscripts!
"Of course, there are also the victim's clothes," Huo Anu cursed angrily, "Anouche, your heart is so cruel! There is blood on the razor, and you didn't even wipe it off..."
"ah……"
Yuan Xingtai turned pale with shock, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Captain Yuan, do you know why I'm wasting so much time talking to you?" Xu Zun said coldly, "Can't you tell I'm stalling for time?
"According to my judgment, if your murder of Lian Yushu was just a temporary act, then you would have left some flaws that night.
"The process of the monk's murder case was complicated. I concluded that you had to go to a place very close to Ran Lin's house and Luohan Temple that night.
"So, I asked Capt. Ju and Lieutenant Shen to inquire about the real estate information you purchased, and then based on the records of the soldiers on duty who saw you that night, I finally locked the target!
"Next, our troops will be divided into two groups. Zhao Yu and I will be responsible for waiting for you to take the bait at the drug store, while the others will look for evidence of your crime!
"How's it going, Lieutenant Yuan," Xu Zun asked, "What else do you have to say now?"
"Hmph! Mr. Xu has already arranged for me to wait at the drug store," Ran Lin yelled angrily, "As long as you show up at the drug store, it means you are the Monk-Yi Killer!"
"Captain Yuan," Shen Xinglian asked with a puzzled look on his face, "I don't understand why you did this? Those women just gave birth out of wedlock, why did you kill them?"
"Ah..." Yuan Xingtai suddenly shouted violently, and then looked up to the sky crazily and yelled, "If you punish evildoers, you will not be able to be reborn. If you can't support them, don't enter reincarnation!"
"You don't understand anything at all!" He pointed at everyone and shouted angrily, "There is nothing wrong with them giving birth to children out of wedlock, but if they don't raise their children, then they deserve to die!!!"
