Chapter 104 People Like Us
This time the deceased was a monk named "Clean Nose".
He was hung upside down on the big Buddha statue in the middle of the Main Hall, cut his throat and bleeding, and bright red blood flowed from the base of the Buddha statue to the main hall.
When Luo Feng heard the news, he saw the peaceful face of the big Buddha statue as soon as he entered the door. However, under its feet, there was bloody...
"This time the method of committing the crime is as simple as in the morning, but the murderer's handling is more decisive, and he cuts the trachea and then closes the hall gate. Under normal circumstances, no one will hear the deceased's call for help."
The man in black was the first to check the body. After he and other monks worked together to move the body with a clean nose, he squatted on the ground to check it out, and couldn't help but raise his head and frowned to look at the Buddha statue standing safely in front of him.
"The question is... why did that person hang the body so troublesomely this time? Moreover, his knotting method of binding the dead looks a bit strange."
The forest guard standing next to him walked up to take a look, and then said in a deep voice: "This is a double ring knot."
"Um?"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Also called 'pig trotter buckle', the knot used by butchers when killing pigs. This kind of knot usually becomes tighter and tighter, and it will be difficult to break free if it is hung upside down."
As the guard said, he suddenly added: "I have used it several times before. As for the other people in the temple, they should not be familiar with this knotting method."
After hearing what he said, except for Luo Feng and the others who looked subtle, no one else present had any special reaction.
The man in black looked at the calm-faced guardian meaningfully, took off his gloves and stood up, murmured: "No matter what, the situation this time is a bit strange. There should be two possibilities. Either the murderer's murder pattern is not fixed, or he is trying to improve his way of killing, or it is, this is done by another person."
"One other person?"
The man in black looked back and met Luo Feng's eyes.
His eyes first swept Luo Feng's snow-white monk's robe, and then continued to say: "Even if two murders happened in a short period of time, it may not be done by the same person. But if this was done by another person, in my opinion, his behavior...is more like provoking a murderer."
As the man in black raised his hand, everyone looked at the big Buddha statue with blood flowing from his feet in the hall, with different expressions.
The man in black glanced in the crowd, and soon his eyes were frozen on a hunched figure standing silently in the corner.
It was an old monk wearing a cassock. Judging from his figure, he should be much older than the abbot of Qingjing Temple. However, looking at his face, he gave people a sense of childishness, with a rosy complexion as a child. From a distance, there were no wrinkles, but instead he looked much younger.
This is the abbot of Qingjing Temple.
After all, Jingbi is the monk in his yard, and this is already the second murder case that happened today, so he should have gone there for reason.
I don’t know if I feel someone is paying attention to me, but the abbot of Qingjing Temple, who was originally chanting sutras, suddenly raised his head and met the scrutiny of the man in black.
Seeing the situation, the man in black was stunned.
When he saw the old monk's eyes, he felt that the other party's eyes were particularly bright, without any turbidity of the elderly, and it seemed very clear.
"From today, I will bring back three meals a day with me to the cafeteria. You two will stay in the back mountain and don't walk around."
Horse-faced Rakshasa and Tang Qiaojue were secretly ecstatic. The hoarse voice from their ears made them turn their heads in surprise, looking at the forest guard who suddenly walked to them and said something like this.
"There is no peace in the temple recently. Even if you want to go out, you still have to walk with them. Do you understand?"
The guards did not shy away from this when they said this, so many people around him heard his voice.
The man in black turned his head and looked at him. Even Luo Feng, who was standing not far away, looked a little surprised.
If we follow the previous inference of the man in black, the guardian's identity before going up the mountain was probably a bandit who had been fleeing for many years. Such a guy would even care about the safety of others? This seems to be unreasonable.
The body of monk Jingbi began to be packed up in the hall. Luo Feng glanced at the abbot who was still chanting scriptures in a low voice, but chose to follow the footsteps of the forest guardian and walked out of the Main Hall.
In fact, Luo Feng was also very interested in the abbot of Qingjing Temple, especially when he saw the abbot's true appearance, some of the situation that was contrary to his inner guesses made him even more surprised. But now there is something more important to do, so he can only give up on this side for the time being.
"Uh, that, please stay."
The forest guards who were carrying Tang Qiaojue and the others stopped hearing the sound coming from behind.
He looked back expressionlessly, and the one-eyed one-eyed staring at Luo Feng who was catching up with him, as if he was asking silently.
Luo Feng quickly adjusted his expression and tone, looked at Tang Qiaojue and the others in a pretentious manner, and whispered to the guardian: "I have something to talk to you alone."
Upon hearing this, the guardian glanced at him without saying a word. After thinking about it, he turned to look at Tang Qiaojue and the others. The two of them also had a wink and immediately retreated aside.
"I'll just say it... I want Jingmei and others to move to the preaching hall to live with Jingqi, and the three of them can also take care of each other."
When he said this, Luo Feng's heartbeat was quite strong, but he still tried hard to keep his face calm and deliberately made a normal tone to the guardian.
"no."
Who told me? As soon as I heard his suggestion, the guardian refused without thinking about it.
Immediately afterwards, before Luo Feng could speak, he listened to the guardian in a low voice and said, "I know what you are thinking. I will not participate in your affairs, but you promised me before going up the mountain that you would give me a purity."
For some reason, after hearing this, Luo Feng narrowed his eyes and said something inexplicably: "You have only known them for a week."
"So what?" The guardian looked at him, and a trace of real irony appeared on his gloomy face, which had no expression. "Didn't you also rescue the bird with broken wings when you went up the mountain?"
“People like us sometimes have mercy that is rare for us, and sometimes it comes easily.”
The guardian turned around and walked away, whispering to Luo Feng without looking back.
"Someone is starting to be unruly, and I hope that person is not you."
Tang Qiaojue looked at each other, and then looked at Luo Feng and hurriedly followed him, leaving Luo Feng alone in a daze.
