Chapter Twelve: Di Gong's Analysis
Li Yuanfang was stunned by Di Renjie's question and looked at Di Renjie with some confusion!
"Sir, what did we overlook?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"We ignored the statue of Guan Gong!" Di Renjie said!
"Statue of Guan Gong? What's the big deal about a broken statue?" Li Yuanfang said disapprovingly!
"Yes! This is the broken statue of Guan Gong! Come on, Yuan Fang, come with me!" Di Renjie said!
"Yeah!" Li Yuanfang responded and followed Di Renjie to the yard!
"Yuanfang, how much does a rock weigh?" Di Renjie asked, pointing to a huge rock!
"It looks like it's at least a few hundred kilograms!" Li Yuanfang said!
"Okay! Try lifting it up!" Di Renjie said!
"Ah? Lift it? Let me try!" Although Li Yuanfang didn't understand Di Renjie's intention, she still walked to the boulder!
Li Yuanfang rolled up his hem, hugged the boulder with his arms, and exclaimed, "Ah!"
The boulder trembled slightly, but was not lifted by Li Yuanfang!
"Sir, no, this boulder is too heavy. It weighs more than several hundred kilograms. I can't lift it!" Li Yuanfang said with some shame!
"Okay! Yuan Fang, I don't really want you to lift him up! You just gave me the answer!" Di Renjie said with a smile, turned around and entered the door!
Li Yuanfang's face was full of doubts, and he also returned to the room!
"Sir said I gave you the answer, what is it?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"Did you make any noise when you just lifted the stone?" Di Renjie asked!
"The boulder wasn't even lifted, and it didn't make any sound?" Li Yuanfang said!
"Hahaha! Yuanfang, do you still remember how you yelled when you were accumulating power?" Di Renjie asked!
"Ah! Yes! Sir, I really didn't pay attention!" Li Yuanfang said!
"Haha, it's not just you, anyone can ignore such a subconscious reaction!" Di Renjie said!
"Oh! I understand, sir, what Miaozhu heard was not the scream, but the sound of the murderer inadvertently making a sound when he was trying to move the statue!" Li Yuanfang said with sudden realization!
"Hahaha! Yuanfang really got it right! I think so, but the murderer didn't pay attention when he made this sound, and because the main hall was empty, it produced a huge echo. It sounded like a single cry in the temple
Scream!" Di Renjie said with a laugh!
"Sir, although what you said makes sense, there is one thing I can't figure out!" Li Yuanfang said with some regret!
"Oh? Tell me!" Di Renjie took a sip of tea and said!
"Sir, he said that the murderer not only pried down the statue, but also smashed it into pieces. If the noise made when prying up the statue alarmed the temple priests, how could he have time to smash the statue?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion.
road!
"Let me ask you, Miao Zhu found the body and ran to the county government to report it to the officials. Miao Zhu went to the county government, and the county magistrate took Miao Zhu with him.
The government officials and others rushed to the scene, and during this time, there were only murderers and corpses in the temple!" Di Renjie said!
"Oh! That's right! The temple blessing said that they only saw the statue falling and the person dead. When people are in such a panic, they will definitely not remember whether the statue fell into two halves or broke into several pieces? The murderer was waiting for the temple blessing
After going to report to the official, he came to the scene again and smashed the statue, trying to destroy all traces!" Li Yuanfang suddenly said!
"Well! That makes sense!" Di Renjie nodded slightly!
"Who is this deceased? Is it worth the murderer's trouble?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion!
"Yuanfang, let me ask you, what do you think is the best way to hide a person's identity?" Di Renjie asked!
"It's easy. The best way to hide a person's identity is to give him a new identity!" Li Yuanfang said without thinking!
"Well! What if we want to cover up a murder case?" Di Renjie asked!
"Hiding a murder case? The only way is to destroy the body and eliminate the traces!" Li Yuanfang said!
"Then do you think there is any way to destroy corpses and eliminate traces in a way that will never be discovered? And the time should be short?" Di Renjie continued to ask!
"This? I'm afraid this won't work!" Li Yuanfang thought for a moment and replied!
"What if the same corpse is used to cover up another murder? And make the fabricated murder seem so justified?" Di Renjie asked!
"Justified? I don't quite understand!" Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie in confusion and said!
"The body died of homicide, so how can we eliminate the suspicion of the real murderer? That is to fabricate a false but reasonable motive and process for him! After the government finalizes the case and the body is disposed of, the real murderer will naturally be able to go free.
! And the most important point is that he can also use this to conceal the true identity of the corpse, so there is no way to verify who the deceased is!" Di Renjie said!
"Oh! I understand, that is to say, the murderer killed the deceased first. He originally wanted to make up the illusion that the statue was a murderer, and knocked down the statue, but accidentally alerted the temple blessing, and the temple blessing turned out to report it to the official! This also happened to help the real murderer.
!" Li Yuanfang said!
"Hahaha! So, this murderer is not always smart, he also has merits! At least he knows our county magistrate quite well. He knows that although the county magistrate has some common sense in solving cases, he does not know how to solve the case.
How to use it! Now it seems that killing is only one of the purposes, and the other is to try to hide the identity of the deceased!" Di Renjie said confidently!
"Why did you say this, sir?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"Yuanfang, look at this!" As he said that, Di Renjie took out a strip of cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Li Yuanfang!
"What is this?" Li Yuanfang took it and looked at it for a while, "What is this silk strip?"
"Take a good look at the material of this silk?" Di Renjie said!
Li Yuanfang looked at it again, but couldn't see anything strange at all!
"Sir, I'm really stupid. I don't know what's wrong with me!" Li
Yuan Fang handed the silk strip to Di Renjie again and said!
"Hahaha! Yuanfang, you are a military commander, so it is normal for you not to know. This kind of silk is called Sangluojin, and it is mostly used to make close-fitting clothing. It was once very popular among the official families in the Shendu area, but
Later, because the craftsmen who invented and made sangluo brocade were involved in rebellion and were executed by the whole family, this kind of sangluo brocade has disappeared since then. The only remaining sangluo brocades in various mansions were turned into slaves for fear of getting into trouble.
This servant's clothes!" Di Renjie said thoughtfully!
"Ah? So this person is related to a certain official? Or maybe the deceased is a retainer of a certain official?" Li Yuanfang said in shock!
"I think so!" Di Renjie said!
"Then why didn't Mr. Lin speak up to Magistrate Lin?" Li Yuanfang asked in confusion!
"If I tell you about Sang Luo Jin, then County Magistrate Lin will definitely doubt your identity. You must know that Sang Luo Jin's situation is definitely not something that a rogue doctor can control!" Di Renjie said!
"Yes! Sir, you really thought everything through!" Li Yuanfang praised!
"Now it seems that this matter is not simple! It seems that the murderer is very likely to hide the identity of the deceased! What is the murderer for? Who is this body?" Di Renjie fell into deep thought!
Dang Dang Dang!
There was a knock on the door, and a government servant shouted: "Mr. Huai, your meal has been delivered to you!"
Li Yuanfang opened the door, took the food, thanked her and closed the door immediately!
While Di Renjie was eating, he fell into deep thought again. Holding the bowl and chopsticks, he was stunned on the spot!
"Sir! Sir!" Li Yuanfang shouted several times!
"Huh?" Di Renjie finally came back to his senses!
"Sir, don't think about it now, hurry up and eat, it will get cold in a while!" Li Yuanfang said with concern!
"Oh! That's right!" Di Renjie slammed his chopsticks onto the table and said suddenly!
"Did you think of something, sir?" Li Yuanfang also stopped using his chopsticks!
"Today I smelled a strange smell in Miao Zhu's room, and just now I remembered that it was the smell of datura!" Di Renjie said!
"Dandala? Isn't that a poisonous flower?" Li Yuanfang said in surprise!
"Yes! That's true, but this mandala also has another effect, that is, it can be mixed with yellow stone grass to make incense. After lighting it, if people inhale it, they will lose consciousness in an instant, but when they wake up, they will not know it at all. They thought
Continuing with what happened before the coma, it’s like he was just temporarily absent-minded!" Di Renjie explained!
"Ah? That means Miao Zhu was not reading all the time, but there was a time when Miao Zhu lost consciousness due to inhaling mandala, but when he woke up, he didn't remember it at all! In that case, Miao Zhu should be able to get rid of it
Are you suspected?" Li Yuanfang said!
