After the village cadre introduced the old monk's basic situation, he turned to look at the policemen at the police station, as if he was hesitant to speak.

The policeman said bluntly, tell him whatever he wants. Some information that may seem insignificant or inconspicuous to you may be of great help to the criminal police comrades.

The village cadre then said to the police:

"You said before that you were going to the mango orchard in the village to look for the person in the portrait tomorrow. I looked a little familiar at the time, but for a while I couldn't remember who it was or where I had seen it. Until I mentioned Monk Tian just now

I just remembered that the Vietnamese you are looking for is somewhat similar to the son of Monk Hotan."

"Tian Ruiwu... is Monk Tian's son. He ran away from home when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. Nearly thirty years have passed. If it weren't for Tian Ruiwu and I growing up together wearing crotchless pants, no one else would have seen it.

Your portrait won’t make any impression either. I only remembered it because I mentioned it just now.”

"The person in the portrait you are looking for not only looks a lot like Tian Ruiwu, I also met him once..."

Lu Kai once told Li Zhudao that he would arrange for the city's police stations to conduct an investigation of the mango orchards under their jurisdiction, trying to find Shiji or any traces related to it. Accordingly, Shiji's sketches and portraits were handed over to the grassroots police officers through the county and district bureaus.

.

There is also a small mango orchard in the village where Bailian Temple is located.

There is no doubt that the person the village cadre said the police were looking for was Shi Ji.

Li Zhudao, Xiao Wu and Lu Kai were immediately shocked.

Lu Kai simply pulled out Shi Ji's portrait from his phone and put the phone screen in front of the village cadre: "Take a closer look. Where were you at that time and when did you see this man? He Wada... what kind of martial arts look like him?"

So what's the deal with the resemblance? Is it Tian Ruiwu you saw, or the person in the portrait?"

"Looking very similar means looking very similar. There are many celebrity imitation shows on TV. They find people who look very similar to celebrities, and then imitate the stars to sing... and dance. This is the kind of look I'm talking about.

It’s very similar.”

The village cadre muttered as he took Lu Kai's cell phone and stared at the screen seriously.

Then, he put down the phone again, stretched out a finger with his other hand and pointed at the corner of the mouth of the portrait of Shi Ji on the screen: "This man has a mole here, Tian Ruiwu doesn't have one."

Then, the finger moved up again: "The bridge of his nose is high and straight. Tian Ruiwu's nose bridge is not so high. Back then, because of the short and flat nose bridge, Tian Ruiwu even got a nickname, 'Pig Nose Pig Bajie.'"

The fingers then moved to the eyes: "Tian Ruiwu has double eyelids, while he has single eyelids."

Finally, the village cadre returned the phone to Lu Kai: "Their faces look very similar, their eyebrows, cheeks, and chins are all similar."

Then, the village cadre changed the subject:

"In April and May this year, due to demolition, several graves in the village had to be moved. When the villagers temporarily requested to move the graves, they had to ask Monk Tian to perform rituals. I called Monk Tian, ​​but I couldn't get through for a long time. This is from the Lotus Temple.

The cell phone signal is spotty, so whether you can get through the call depends on luck."

"Since the tomb relocation was scheduled for the next day, I had no choice but to come to the temple to invite him in person. As soon as I entered the temple, I saw the man you were looking for walking around in the yard with a cane. He should be

My legs and feet were injured and I am doing rehabilitative walking training."

"I stared at him for a long time, and finally thought it was Tian Ruiwu who came back. But Monk Tian came out with a smile and asked me if he looked similar. Then he said that this man's surname was Shi, a foreigner, and he broke his leg on the mountain. It happened that

When he met him, he took him back to the temple to recuperate. He also said that he thought it was Tian Ruiwu at first, but it took him a long time to find out that he was not the same person, which made him happy in vain."

"He said, 'I am happy for nothing. In fact, even a blind person can see that. Even if this person is not Tian Ruiwu, just because of his similar appearance, he is already excited and very happy."

"I took a few more glances and found that the man had a black mole at the corner of his mouth and a high bridge of his nose. He looked at me with a strange and cold look, as if he was not to be approached by strangers. Then I was sure that the man in front of me was not Tian Ruiwu, but just

He just looks like Wada Ruiwu."

"I also Wada

The monk said, he looks so similar. He also joked that since he looks so similar, you might as well accept him as your godson."

"I just said it casually, but Monk Tian rolled his eyes a few times and laughed a few times. Although he didn't say anything and asked me what happened, it was obvious that he took my words seriously.

, I really want to do this."

"I never paid much attention to this matter, and I don't know what happened next."

"Did you see Shi Ji again... the person in the portrait? Has anyone else in the village seen him?" Lu Kai asked again.

The village cadre shook his head: "I have told myself that I have only met this person once. If it weren't for the fact that this person looks similar to Tian Ruiwu, I would definitely not remember it."

"Monk Tian lives in the Lotus Temple. From the beginning to the end of the year, it is rare for anyone to come here. It is unlikely that anyone will see him again. I also came here to see him because of urgent matters. Usually when there are no weddings or funerals, he comes here.

I carry a cloth bag and go around the village to beg for alms. If the villagers need help from him for anything, they will take this opportunity to talk to him in person. This is more effective than calling him."

As mentioned before, the alarm call was dialed by the old monk’s mobile phone, but the call was from the local police station. The caller’s voice on the phone was very anxious: “He’s killed someone, he’s killed someone! Now he wants to kill me! I

At Bailian Temple in Lianhua Ridge!"

It is more likely that the person who called the police is Monk Tian.

The scene at Bailian Temple is relatively messy, leaving many traces and clues, but there are often only a few key and useful clues.

The deceased, Lao Liu, was lying on his back in the center of the courtyard. A large amount of blood stains could be seen on his clothes. A large amount of blood stains could be seen on the ground two meters south of the body, which was the central blood stain. Between here and Lao Liu's body, there were obvious blood stains.

Drag marks. It can be seen that the body was dragged towards the back door of the temple to the north.

Lao Liu's body had a comminuted skull fracture on the left side of his head, multiple contusions and lacerations on his top and forehead, and a large amount of blood stains on his face and hands.

On the ground two meters away from the central bloodstain, there is a rebar about half a meter long, with a large amount of bloodstains on it. There is an obvious bleeding-like bloodstain in the middle and upper section. There are hairs in the bloodstains, which should be the result of beating the head of the deceased.

There were spattered blood stains from the lower section to the end of the steel bar, which should be caused by the blood of the deceased being spattered.

The floor in the courtyard is cement, and no footprints of comparative value were found.

In the bedroom where Monk Tian lives, the contact numbers of various local township institutions are posted on the wall at the door. Although Bailian Temple is small, it can be regarded as a religious institution. This kind of address book is distributed uniformly by the township. There are many cigarette butts on the ground under the bed. On the bed board

There was a cigarette butt in the gap between the wall and the wall near the bed.

At the back door next to the main hall, there is a shovel leaning against the wall, and there are obvious traces of the shovel on the ground. Kanshu La

On Xiao Tan's body, there was a clear fingerprint on the left side of his neck. An adult pinching with two hands would not be able to exert normal force. On the contrary, only pinching with one hand would cause the thumb to exert extra force, and the nails would even dig into the skin. .The thumbprint is left on the left side of the neck, indicating that this person’s preferred hand is his left hand.

Yu Dewang still stayed at Bailian Temple, while Li Zhudao, Xiao Wu and Lu Kai came to the hospital.

Tian Monk has been transferred from the intensive care unit to the general ward.

Lu Kai asked the doctor how Tian Monk's injury was.

The doctor smiled and said: "When the patient first came here, I was shocked to see that he was old and covered in blood. But after a careful examination, I only found a skin injury on his right forearm, which only needed to be cleaned. I put some alcohol on my face. Then I did a full-body check-up. All the indicators were normal, there was nothing wrong with me at all, and my health was better than that of young people."

Finally, he added meaningfully: "But, he is just unconscious..."

The three of them understood that Monk Tian was probably pretending to be unconscious.

After entering the ward, Li Zhudao and Lu Kai talked to each other, saying that since Mr. Tian hadn't woken up yet, we should come back another day. Then there was a loud slamming of the door.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, Monk Tian, ​​who was lying on the bed, stretched greatly, then jumped off the hospital bed, stood in front of the window, twisted his waist and neck, and when he turned around, he Stand at the door

The three people standing there looked at him with smiles like the Mona Lisa, and couldn't help but blush.

Lu Kai got straight to the point and asked Monk Tian to tell him what happened last night.

Monk Tian was a mature man, and he quickly recovered his emotions and spoke in a few words.

"Last night, I was preparing to go to bed in the Lotus Temple. Lao Liu suddenly broke into the courtyard, smelling of alcohol. It was in the middle of the night, so of course I wanted to go to bed, so I chased him away. Who knew that Lao Liu suddenly got angry and started to beat him out of nowhere? Of course I'm going to run away."

"When we got to the door, Xiao Tan suddenly appeared and walked into the yard to stop Lao Liu. Unexpectedly, Lao Liu stopped beating me and chased Xiao Tan instead. Xiao Tan ran all over the yard and finally got out of the back door of the yard and was thrown down by Lao Liu. Lao Liu sat on her, strangled her neck, and said, "Strangle you to death, strangle you to death."

"When I saw this situation, I called the police. As soon as I hung up the phone, I was knocked unconscious by Lao Liuyi with an iron rod. Officer, I am the victim. I really don't know what happened next. Lao Liuyi How he died, I don’t know.”

The three of them were serious at first and listened attentively, but as time went on, they felt more and more that Monk Tian was insulting their intelligence.

Lu Kai took a deep breath, obviously adjusting his emotions, but finally said to Li Zhudao: "Captain Li, let me tell you, I have a bad temper. This is in the hospital, I'm afraid of any inappropriate remarks or excessive behavior. It will affect the image of our people's police."
