Lu Jitong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "My lord, how do you know that the deceased is a monk?" ”

Li Canghai pointed to the deceased's right hand and said, "Look here, is there a layer of calluses on the back of the deceased's right index finger?" This is formed by turning the rosary from time to time. www.biquge.info Even if you are a layman, you don't always turn your rosary, and only the monks do it often, so I conclude that the deceased is a monk. ”

Lu Jitong looked at the deceased's right hand, and then at the two young monks, who also had calluses on the back of their right index fingers, and suddenly realized.

"But my lord, why did the murderer cut off his head when he killed him?"

Li Canghai said in a deep voice: "Cutting off his head must be to hide the identity of the deceased!" Speaking of this, Li Canghai raised his head and asked the two young monks, "Have there been any old monks missing in the temple recently?" ”

The two shook their heads and said, "All the monks' food is in charge of the two monks, and no one is missing in the temple. What's more, there is only one old monk in this temple, and there is no other old monk. ”

After listening to what the two said, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Li Canghai's mind, he stood up suddenly, and said coldly: "I know who the murderer is!" Brother Lu, you quickly lead people to surround the Daxiong Treasure Hall secretly! ”

Seeing his solemn face, Lu Jitong didn't hesitate and immediately nodded.

Returning to the Daxiong Treasure Hall again, Li Canghai looked a little sad, although the monk Qixin was a Tianzhu monk, he was a monk with a great compassion heart.

If it weren't for his rescue several times, Li Canghai would have gone to the Western Elysium and met the Buddha in person.

Qi Xin was still lying in a pool of blood, and the entire hall was shrouded in grief and indignation.

"Canghai, what did you do?" Di Qing asked.

"Catch the murderer." Li Canghai slowly spit out a few words from his mouth.

Di Qing was stunned for a moment, and she said puzzledly: "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”

Li Canghai nodded, he glanced at everyone, and said in an indifferent tone: "Now, let me expose the murderer's face in public!" ”

He folded his hands in front of Qi Xin, bowed, and then said, "The murderer who killed Master Qi Xin is actually in this hall. The murderer was supposed to kill me, but it was only Master Qixin who blocked the dagger for me, which caused the master to be killed. ”

When everyone heard this, they were taken aback.

Di Qing exclaimed even more: "What? Is the killer trying to kill you? Canghai, tell me who the murderer is, I want to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to assassinate me in front of me! ”

"Qing'er, don't worry, the murderer can't escape! Now, let me tell you about the murderer's modus operandi! Li Canghai walked to the Buddha table, picked up a mallet and struck the wooden fish, and said in a deep voice: "The murderer's killing method seems simple, but in fact it is extremely shrewd. The murderer had prepared a dagger in advance, and as soon as the hall fell into darkness, he immediately swung his knife and stabbed him. ”

Di Qing was a little puzzled, she said suspiciously: "Canghai, this doesn't make sense, right?" How did the murderer know when the hall would fall into darkness? If the temple is always bright, how can he assassinate? ”

"That's the best thing about the murderer. Everyone must have wondered why the bamboo curtains on the doors and windows of the main hall suddenly fell, right? Because, the murderer used me very skillfully. Li Canghai said indifferently.

"The murderer took advantage of you? What do you mean? Di Qingxiu asked with a slight frown.

Li Canghai said: "To be precise, the murderer used the voice. After I struck the wooden fish, the bronze bell rang, and it was the sound of the bronze bell that caused the bamboo curtain to fall. ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li Canghai ordered someone to close one of the three doors, and then rolled up the bamboo curtain again and put it on the horizontal axis of the bamboo curtain, and then ordered someone to ring the bronze bell in the hall.

Bang~

With a muffled sound, the bamboo curtain fell instantly, covering the door frame again.

"What's going on?" Di Qing asked in surprise.

Li Canghai took down the bamboo curtain and said: "There is a small piece of iron on this bamboo curtain, and there is a piece of iron on the horizontal axis hanging on the threshold. That's why the bamboo curtains suddenly fall when the bell rings. ”

"I see! It's a smart way to do it! Di Qing nodded and said.

"But if you stand at the table of the Buddha, and no one comes near you, who can stab you?" Di Qing frowned and asked.

Li Canghai said deeply: "This is also the murderer's cleverness, I stood in front of the Buddha table, and no one approached me. In this way, after assassinating me, he will not arouse the suspicion of others. ”

Di Qing's big smart eyes rolled a few times, and suddenly he sighed and said, "I know!" The murderer is the one who makes you enlighten! And the people who have always emphasized that you should consecrate the Buddha statue are only the three people who are united in their hearts, afraid of fame, and the old host! Don't......? ”

Li Canghai nodded, he stared at the old host, and said coldly: "Murderer, it's you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the monks were shocked!

The old host was even more stunned on the spot, and he said in a panic: "Lord Wang, I'm just an old monk who is about to die, how can I make a knife kill someone?" ”

"Lord Wang, presiding over mercy, he will never be a murderer! Ask the prince to see! ”

"Ask the prince to see!" All the monks bowed together and said in unison.

Li Canghai didn't pay attention to the monks at all, he stared at the old host intently, and said coldly: "First of all, you are not an old monk who is about to die, but a master of martial arts. Secondly, you are not a monk at all! ”

As he spoke, Li Canghai grabbed his hand and said coldly: "The real host has already been killed by you, and the body is buried in the vegetable garden!" Your disguise is indeed very skillful, but you have overlooked one point. When monks turn the rosary all year round, a layer of cocoons will be left on the back of the index finger, but there is no cocoon on the back of your finger, this is your biggest flaw! ”

Lu Jitong immediately walked up, reached out and touched the old host's face a few times, and suddenly tore off a human skin mask.

And under the mask is a white-faced, beardless face!

At this moment, everyone was stunned.

Those monks were even more stunned, they never expected that the host in front of them was pretending to be someone else, and what they didn't expect was that the real host had already returned to the sky!

"Who are you? Is it really bold to dare to assassinate Canghai? Di Qing shouted.

The man laughed strangely, he stared at Li Canghai and said, "Interesting, really interesting." You're the first to be able to see through my disguise in such a short period of time. No wonder so many people want to get rid of you, if someone as smart as you can't be subdued, he will be a big opponent! ”

Li Canghai snorted coldly and said lightly: "Now, it's time to tell me about your identity, right?" On whose orders did you come to kill me? Reverse scale basalt? Yang Guozhong? Or An Lushan? (To be continued.) )
