Chapter 309 Coincidence
Fangfei said with a face full of words: "My wife said that when you arrive, she will tell you in person."
Lin Hao nodded and stopped asking.
Tianyuan Temple is in the city, and the carriage was not slow, and it didn't take long to arrive.
Lin Hao got off the carriage and walked over, and the monk who was the gatekeeper he met was the same one when he came last time.
The gatekeeper wanted to stop the person, but when he saw Lin Hao recognized it, his face became strange, and he turned away: "Female benefactor, please come in."
Lin Hao smiled and nodded, the bad feeling became stronger.
The little novice leading the way looked at Lin Hao one after another, and asked obediently, "Girl, have we met before?"
Lin Hao twitched the corners of his mouth: "I came here last year."
"Last year?" The little novice blinked and suddenly realized, "The little monk remembered, you are the wife's daughter!"
"Yeah." Lin laughed.
The little novice showed some sympathy on his face: "I didn't expect you to come again."
Lin Hao took a deep breath and resisted the urge to ask.
Since mother didn't let Fangfei talk, there was no need to ask others.
"I'm sorry little master." Lin said politely and quickened his pace.
Soon she saw the officials and monks around, and it was Lin Shi who was talking to one of the officials.
"Mother--" Lin Hao shouted and walked over, "What happened?"
Lin showed an embarrassed smile: "Ah, you're here. Well, if mother found another headless female corpse..."
"How did Mother find out?" Lin Hao asked without changing his face.
"It's really a coincidence this time. I went to the Wishing Pond after I went to the incense. When I went back, I passed through the bamboo forest because the sun was too bright. After leaving the bamboo forest, I passed the rockery—" Lin pointed to a short distance. "Suddenly I felt a smell coming from the mountain, I went over to take a look, and then found something in the crevice of the mountain..."
Needless to say, this "thing" is a headless female corpse.
The preliminary autopsy was done over there, and he explained the situation to Liu Zhaotou in a low voice.
Liu Zhaotou nodded from time to time, and came over after listening: "Mrs. Lin, Madam Shizi."
Lin Hao nodded and said hello.
"I take the liberty to ask Mrs. Lin, have you been out of the house two days ago?"
"Two days ago?" Lin shi shook his head without hesitation, "No, I haven't been anywhere in the hot weather recently, so I went out today to have some incense."
Lin Hao took Lin's arm and his expression became serious: "Why does Liu Zhaotou ask that?"
Liu Zhaotou thought to himself that there is no noble lady who is more talkative than Mrs. Lin, the daughter of the prince's wife is not so easy to deal with, and now his tone is more polite: "This is the case, after the inspection, we can infer the time of the deceased's murder. About two or three days ago."
"Liu Zhaotou suspects my mother?"
"No, no, Mrs. Shizi misunderstood. It is true that Ling Citou discovered the headless female corpse twice. The villain just wants to know more about the situation."
How could there be such a coincidence, he just couldn't help but doubt it! However, the other party's identity is high, and even if there is no evidence, it should not be too obvious.
Lin Shi realized that he was suspected, and after a moment of stunned, he waved his hand indifferently: "If Liu Zoutou wants to ask anything, feel free to ask."
Such a calm attitude, on the contrary, made Liu Zhaotou dispel a lot of suspicion, and said with a hand: "After further investigation, if there are new discoveries, it may inevitably disturb you."
"It's okay, feel free to ask me anything."
Liu Zhaotou: "..." This really doesn't look like something bad has been done, but how could someone find a body in the same temple twice?
"Is it inconvenient for Liu Zhaotoufang to disclose the progress of the previous headless female corpse case?" Lin Hao asked.
A bit of embarrassment appeared on Liu Zhu's face: "There is no progress yet. The female body has been killed for some days when it was found, and there is no object left on her body that can be identified..."
They were so worried that they all lost a lot of hair. Before the body of this woman was found, it was classified as an unsolved case and temporarily put down.
"It's a little hot, so I went back with my mother first. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."
Liu Zhaotou naturally couldn't stop him, and he also said a lot of polite words.
On the way back, the mother and daughter rode in the same carriage, Lin Shi was a little embarrassed: "Mum really didn't mean to cause trouble..."
"Yes, it's all about you." Lin Hao smiled and comforted.
Lin glared at her daughter: "Why do I think you are laughing at me?"
"How could it be. What happened today is purely coincidental. Who would have thought that there was a corpse in the crevice of the rockery."
As for why you should take a look at the smell when you smell it... Forget it, just get used to it.
"Well, isn't the prince in the Ministry of Punishment, since they Shuntian Prefecture can't solve the case, the Ministry of Punishment doesn't care?"
A murder case under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture will usually be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for drafting after the first trial.
Lin is not afraid of being suspected of murder, she is clearly not afraid of being investigated. What she thought was that since she had encountered such a thing twice, perhaps it was the ghost who was murdered in the dark who was asking her for help.
"I'll ask when Ah Shuo comes back."
"That's good. This murderer specializes in killing women and beheading people. He's crazy."
The carriage stopped while they were talking, and the mother and daughter got out of the carriage together, one went to Prince Jing's mansion, and the other went to the general's mansion.
The people from the two houses looked at each other, and invariably came up with an idea: The distance between the husband's family and the mother's family is really close.
As soon as Qi Shuo returned to the yard, Lin Hao greeted him and went out: "Ashuo, you are back."
Qi Shuo looked at her and raised the corner of his lips: "Is there anything you want to find me?"
"Um."
Qi Shuo took her hand and walked into the interior together.
"It was my mother who went to Tianyuan Temple today and encountered an incident..."
Qi Shuo didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
"Tomorrow I'll ask the pusher in charge of this matter, and the two sides will work together to check it out."
Lin Hao took Qi Shuo's arm: "Ashuo, if you guys go to the scene to investigate the case, can you call me? My mother is the one who found the body twice."
Qi Shuo burst into laughter: "If you want to go, go, but also bring the mother-in-law."
Lin so lazily leaned on him and sighed, "My mother actually wants to go more than I do."
The next day, Qi Shuo went to Shuntian Mansion and explained his intention to Liu Tuiguan, who had been in charge of the case.
When Liu Tuiguan heard that Prince Jing was willing to take the initiative to help, he naturally couldn't ask for it.
He has heard that Prince Jing is bold and careful, and he can draw the appearance of the suspect based on a few words, which is of great help in solving the case.
"I want to see the case file of last year's headless female corpse."
"Sir, wait a moment." Liu Tuiguan quickly ordered his subordinates to fetch the case file.
The entire investigation process is recorded on the case file, and there are detailed autopsy records.
There was nothing special about the investigation process. His eyes fell on the autopsy record and he asked: "It says that the deceased had many narrow scars on the collarbone, which were suspected to have been stabbed by sharp objects such as hairpins, so it is inferred that the murderer was probably a woman. , did the last survey count the list of female guests who often go to Tianyuan Temple?"
