After parting ways with the old officer, Wang Xiaojie, who had been holding back all the way, finally couldn't help asking: "Why did Deputy Envoy Luo determine that the crime scene is in this Chang'an City? But what new discoveries are there?"

“No discovery.”

Luo Taisui shook his head and said slowly: "I just tried to think about this case from the perspective of the murderer...

What is the need to risk exposure to transport the body to a ruined temple so close to the official road...

What purpose is he doing?"

Wang Xiaojie and others were stunned, but they didn't expect that he had this kind of thinking.

"The purpose of throwing a corpse is nothing more than two. One is to protect the first scene, and the other is to increase the difficulty of the body being discovered."

Luo Taisui continued: "If I were the murderer, I could burn the body or find an inconspicuous place to bury it.

Even if it is thrown into the deep mountains and forests, it is better than that dilapidated temple?

But he chose that dilapidated temple, why?"

Wang Xiaojie is not the murderer himself, so naturally he cannot answer him.

"I only thought of two possibilities." Luo Taisui raised a finger first, "Either the corpse is not easy to deal with at the first scene of the murder case and is easily exposed, or..."

Then he raised another finger and said, "The murderer did it on purpose! He was not worried about the body being discovered, and even hoped that the body would be discovered as soon as possible."

Is there anyone who commits the crime and hopes to be discovered in advance?

Wang Xiaojie was incredible to hear.

But the holy hand was so obsessed with hearing it.

As an insider, after the surprise when Luo Taisui was convicted of the murder scene in Chang'an City, she couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity about Luo Taisui's subsequent inference.

Is it just a casual statement or is there a good reason?

The answer will be revealed soon!

"If it is the first possibility, then think about it, within ten miles of this dilapidated temple, where are the places that are not easy to deal with corpses? Or, there are places that are more likely to be exposed than this dilapidated temple?"

This is a question of Luo Taisui's guiding nature.

Chang'an!

These two words suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

"That's right, Chang'an."

Luo Taisui nodded slightly and said, "So many corpses are impossible to deal with in Chang'an City, and it is not easy to hide."

"But it may be even more difficult to transport it out of the city?"

At this time, the holy hand raised questions.

After all, Chang'an is the important place in the capital. Do you want to take dozens of corpses out of the city gate? Are you dead when you are guarding?

Luo Taisui naturally would not miss this, and explained: "It takes a convoy to transport so many corpses, and it must be very conspicuous in normal times, so it will be investigated."

After pausing, he said again: "But this month the imperial court issued annual salary, and officials at all levels in the capital will come to the Ministry of Revenue to collect it.

The fleet is endless, and the investigation may not be so detailed."

The Saint Hand thought about his words and did not refute them again.

Originally, she had no idea about the salary of the court.

But I happened to run into it once after checking in Luo Mansion.

More than twenty large trucks delivered a large amount of corn, silk, gold and silverware, miscellaneous colors, clothing, etc., as well as the monthly salary, food, miscellaneous items, and class money to the mansion.

The scene was quite spectacular.

As the saying goes, "If you have too much wealth and wealth, you will be like becoming an immortal."

No wonder people in the world have sharpened their heads and want to be an official. Being an official can indeed make a fortune!

"No wonder some food and silk were left behind in the ruined temple..." Wang Xiaojie suddenly realized, "I guess someone mixed the body in a convoy carrying salary and transported it out of the city..."

If this is true, it means that the murderer may be an imperial official, or even a senior official of the third rank or above!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaojie felt cold in his heart.

Is this case really going to continue investigating?

Will it be...

Luo Taisui noticed Wang Xiaojie's face and smiled happily and said, "It was precisely because of the food and silk that I thought of the second possibility.

These two things might be the murderer deliberately left in the ruined temple and put them together with the corpse, with the purpose of interfering with the case handling.”

Then he said, "Don't you think these two things are too abrupt?

Since the murderer can kill dozens of people without any trace and transport them out of the city, he should be a powerful person. How could Zhou Xiang make such a low-level mistake?"

After he said this, Wang Xiaojie felt something was wrong.

The saint hand had a clearer idea. She said softly: "According to your second possibility, the murderer deliberately left the clues in the ruined temple. The body may not have been transported from Chang'an. It may be just an illusion he created.

This is not…”

Isn't this a contradiction?

"Yes!" Wang Xiaojie finally remembered something was wrong, "The scene of the murder may not be in Chang'an."

"The two possibilities I mentioned are not actually conflicting with each other."

Luo Taisui did not rush to explain, saying, "After the murderer committed a crime in Chang'an, he was unable to deal with the body, so he took advantage of the opportunity to transport his salary to transfer the body outside the city, threw the body into a ruined temple, and set up a maze to get rid of his own suspicion.

certainly……"

After pausing, he said again: "Governor Wang said it right. There is indeed a possibility that the crime scene is not in Chang'an, but the clues left by the murderer point to Chang'an, or even... to a scapegoat.

Then we still have to check this "false crime scene" that may exist in Chang'an."

"In other words, no matter whether the scene of the murder is true or false, we have to follow this clue to investigate." Wang Xiaojie finally understood what he meant.

"That's right." Luo Taisui's eyes were deep and he said slowly: "The key to this case is the food and silk left in the ruined temple.

The murderer tried his best to set up such a game, and had such a strong direction, it could not be meaningless.

Be sure to check it!

Even if the last thing I found was a scapegoat, it doesn’t mean there is no gain.

Because I believe there must be some connection between the murderer and the scapegoat.

By then we will be infinitely close to the truth and seize the best opportunity to solve the case!"

He had a vague feeling that this scapegoat existed, and it was not much different from the level of the murderer, and it was in a state of hostility.

If there is no personal grudge, it is...

Political enemy!

"Deputy Envoy Luo, have you told me about these remarks with the old servant in Dali Temple?"

Wang Xiaojie noticed that Luo Taisui and the old servant talked for a while, and then the old servant left in a hurry.

He still had a trace of luck in his heart.

I hope that Luo Taisui will tell everything to Dali Temple and Pan, and Dali Temple will come to investigate.

He was worried that if he continued to investigate, he would be gone.

"These are just some immature thoughts in my mind, so I didn't tell him."

Luo Taisui said calmly: "I just asked him to bring a message to Lu Sicheng to check what convoys passed by the official road near the ruined temple within three days, and whether they included the Right Guard General Zhang Liang.

Lu Sicheng said he would do his best to help us, so he would not refuse, right?"

Right Guard! Right Guard General Zhang Liang!

Wang Xiaojie's scalp suddenly became numb.
