Chapter 31 Fox Tail
Abbot Juehui and others almost fell down and looked at the Buddha statue in horror. Could it be that the Buddha appeared and spoke?
Leng Yi was not surprised and said loudly: "Then you can get out of the Buddha's mouth!"
Everyone looked up at Buddha's mouth in amazement.
Suddenly, a small head popped out of the mouth that had been dug into a big hole. His face was covered with red blood, and his eyes were rolling around, looking down. It was Zhike who fell to death under the cliff.
Monk Mingkong!
"Oh my God!" Horse-faced Mingzong was so frightened that he sat down on the ground. Diaomei Mingjing was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. However, he tripped over the high threshold of the hall and fell outside the door. He screamed and got up for a moment.
Not coming.
The two old monks, the abbot and Mingkong, were relatively calm, but their whole bodies were shaking like chaff.
Zhuo Qiao Niang was also so frightened that her face turned pale and she hid behind Leng Yi.
Leng Yi seemed to have already guessed it. He looked up at Zhike Mingkong and said, "Since you can go up without a ladder, you can also come down without a ladder."
The Zhike monk Mingkong looked confused and said: "Where am I...? Why am I here? Ah! Who put me into the belly of the Buddha? Couldn't I have been eaten by the Buddha?
"
Leng Yi said: "Okay, no need to pretend! You know how you got in!" Leng Yi pointed to the curtain floating diagonally past the Buddha's head, "You just grabbed this curtain and climbed up.
’s. Now, climb down!”
Zhike monk Mingkong shook his head: "I, I can't..."
Leng Yi said: "Do you want to know how I knew you were hiding in the belly of the Buddha statue?"
Zhike Monk Mingkong looked at him without saying anything.
Leng Yi said another sentence. This sentence made Zhike Mingkong no longer able to calm down. Leng Yi's words were a bit convoluted. What he said was: "You want to know, how do I know how you killed me?"
Are the chef Ming Yuan, the fat man Ming Zhi and the thin man Ming Shou?"
This sentence came from the mouth of a county magistrate who could punish crimes, and he was so sure that Mingkong's face immediately turned pale.
Abbot Juehui and the others were all shocked, wondering why Leng Yi said this. Diao Mei Mingjing heard Mingkong speak and knew that he was a living person, so he limped back from the door and looked at Mingkong in fear.
null.
Leng Yi said to Mingkong: "You are very smart, but you still show your fox's tail! - You killed the chef Mingyuan and the thin man Mingshou earlier, and you did it almost flawlessly, but you shouldn't have dug out a
A corpse comes to impersonate you and then pretends to be dead. If you knew that this county has done a lot of research on corpses, you might not do this. - Falling off the cliff with your head down, whether it is a corpse or a living person, it is actually easier.
It can be distinguished. Because living people will involuntarily make self-protection actions, that is, touch the ground with their hands first, so the degree of fracture of the arm, especially the wrist, is very serious. But the corpse will not, especially the frozen corpse. His hand,
It is kept backwards, and with the cushioning of the head and body, the arms, especially the wrists, will almost never break."
Leng Yi pointed to the corner of the hall where the corpses were parked and said: "The corpse's wrists and arms were not broken, so it should have been thrown off the cliff after death and freezing! Besides! It's better if one dies.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there may not be much difference between a corpse that has been dead for several days and a corpse that has been dead for several hours, or they may not know the difference between the two. However, in the eyes of an experienced person,
In the eyes, this difference is as obvious as the sun and the moon. - The corpse you are looking for has been dead for at least five days. Although the cold has greatly delayed the recovery of the corpse, his abdomen still begins to appear.
Dirty green ** spots! ** spots, hehe, even in a hot summer, it is impossible to appear within two or three hours, let alone a cold winter. "
Mingkong lay blankly in the mouth of the big Buddha, looking at Leng Yi, as if he himself had become a statue.
Leng Yi added: "Before I saw the body, I suspected that the thin man Mingshou pushed you off the cliff to kill you, and then lied that you saw a ghost. In fright, you fell off the cliff and died. That's why I persisted
The reason why I rushed to check the body immediately. At that time, I just wanted to find out if there were any signs of murder. I didn't expect that the body was not yours. Since this body was not yours, he was innocent. There was no need for him to find another one.
The corpse will replace you. Then, you can only be the one doing the trick! - Why do you have to pretend to be dead? Because you want me to exclude you from the suspects who killed the fat man, - Dead people don't kill people
! At the same time, you also need the identity of a ghost. For the thin man Mingshou who likes to tell ghost stories, you know that he is actually most afraid of ghosts. If you scare him to death, you don’t need anything else, just let him see him carrying it back in person.
A corpse standing in front of him alive is enough to scare him to death!"
After knowing that Mingkong was a living person and the one who scared the skinny Mingshou to death, the abbot became furious, pointed at Mingkong and yelled: "Mingkong! Why did you do this?"
Mingkong didn't speak, but gave him an indifferent look, and said to Leng Yi: "You said I killed Mingyuan and Mingzhi. The kitchen doors and windows are all tied from the inside, how can I kill them?"
"From the chimney!" Leng Yi said: "First go in grandly through the main door. After killing them, fasten the doors and windows from the inside. Then climb out of the chimney, along the beams, and start the firework that has been erected on the roof.
When going down the ladder, of course, you have to walk backwards, so that you can use the broom left on the beam when setting up the ladder to sweep away your footprints on the beam."
Get out of the chimney?
The abbot and others were shocked, and the abbot asked: "But, sir, how could he climb out of the chimney when there was a fire burning on the stove?"
"He often helps in the kitchen. He knows when the fire starts to light in the kitchen. When he kills people, the stove must not have a fire yet. After killing people, he first puts the firewood at the mouth of the stove, then gets in, and then brings the firewood in.
In the stove, because both stoves lead to the chimney, he can get into the other one, put the firewood in the same way, and then light the firewood from the inside to make a fire. Before the fire gets bigger, he has time to calmly exit the chimney.
Climb out! This is what I thought of when I saw a small amount of black soot on the snow beside the ladder on the wall. - When you climb out of the chimney, hold your head with something to prevent soot from getting on your hair.
, but there was soot on your body. You covered the soot scattered on the roof with snow, but you ignored the ladder. There was also soot falling from your body! Although it was very small, it was enough for me to judge you.
There is no way to get in and out of the secret room. Because this kind of soot can only be found in stoves and chimneys."
Diao Mei Mingjing said angrily: "What a cunning guy! You really put a lot of thought into it!"
Leng Yi said: "He is indeed very smart. The first time, he killed the chef Mingyuan and successfully deceived me. But the second time, in order to set up the trap of leading off the cliff, he showed a bit of a fox's tail. -
—Those firewood!”
"Chaihuo?" Mingkong smiled, a little reluctantly, "What's wrong with Chaihuo?"
"In the kitchen of your temple, you and the chef must have been the only two people in the woodshed getting firewood for the fire, so others generally didn't know how much firewood was left in the woodshed. You buried the remaining firewood under the thick pile under the wall.
In the snow, to create the illusion that the firewood has been used up, you know that you and the thin man Mingshou will be arranged to chop wood. Unfortunately, God is not as good as man. When I was checking the ash on the ladder, I felt something in the snow under my feet.
.I dug through the snow and saw the firewood and the black soot-covered clothes you buried under the snow. It was also the small monk's robe that made me suspect you. - In fact, I had already suspected it.
I should have thought of you, because only you with such a small body can climb out of the chimney calmly. However, your submissive character made me think that you are a kind child, and I did not think of you as a cruel criminal."
Mingkong smiled again and said thank you softly. The voice was so soft that almost no one could hear it.
