Solving a crime requires precise inference and a little bit of luck.
Old Bacon hopes he is lucky.
Before meeting Meng Shaoyuan, he had always had bad luck.
He is obviously a very experienced and capable policeman, but because he has no connections, he has never been reused.
Therefore, Lao Bacon simply gave up on himself.
But after meeting the commander and joining the military command, his fortune suddenly changed.
Perhaps it was not a simple transfer, but the appreciation and importance given to him by his superiors.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Lao Bacon still understands this truth.
The location in the photo should be in Jinyun Mountain.
Jinyun Mountain is about seventy miles away from Chongqing.
This kind of distance, if you just travel, you don't know how long it will take to cover it on two feet.
It should be a car.
Having a car, even now, is still a big deal.
Not to mention when this photo was taken?
Therefore, if you can find someone to help take pictures, his memory must be very deep.
Jinyun Mountain is so big, where should we start checking it?
In fact, Meng Shaoyuan had already told him the answer.
There are also two poems written on the back of the photo:
"Far up the cold mountain, the stone path is sloping, and there is a home deep in the white clouds!"
Baiyun Temple!
Baiyun Temple is said to be the site of Laozi's cultivation.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi Taoist Yang Changfu visited here to build a Taoist temple. He found an inkstone while digging the foundation and engraved the word "Baiyun" on it, so it was named after it.
Baiyun Temple occupies the highest peak of Yingshan Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. It faces Gujian Mountain across the Qihe River.
In order to ensure safety, Meng Shaoyuan specifically asked Miao Zhixing to accompany him.
When we arrived at Yingshan, Lao Barou wandered around for a long time before finally deciding on the shooting location.
It should be here.
The problem is, there is no one around, so who helped them take the photos?
Probably, it was really someone passing by by chance, right?
This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
Old bacon's heart suddenly became cold.
"Up the mountain!"
Miao Zhixing was startled: "You still want to go up the mountain?"
"Now that we're all here, let's go to Baiyun Temple." Old bacon sighed: "It's so high, I'm afraid it will kill me. But since Lu Yatong has written down this clue, if I don't go to Baiyung Temple, I Always uneasy."
…
Baiyun Temple sits east to west and is divided into three halls: upper, middle and lower halls.
The scenery here is excellent, with azaleas and ginkgo trees, ancient temples with green pine trees, winding corridors and secluded paths, all like a dream.
I don’t know how many literati have left poems and inscriptions here.
Old Bacon climbed to the top of the mountain, panting.
After resting there for a long time, he stood up and entered Baiyun Temple.
Where to start?
have no idea.
Who to ask?
have no idea.
Lao Bacon is a blind man touching an elephant.
He saw a Taoist priest, said hello to him, then picked up half of the photo and asked if he had seen the girl in the photo.
The Taoist priest shook his head.
No wonder, if you catch a person and ask them, you can ask, how can you have such good luck?
I asked several people in succession, but found nothing.
The old bacon could only smile bitterly.
Where can I find clues?
"Two blessed ones."
At this moment, a Taoist priest stopped them: "Seeing the hard work of the two of you, Master Bi Guan Guan specially invited the two blessed masters to come in and have tea."
Lao Barou and Miao Zhixing were indeed thirsty and tired, so they accepted the invitation without saying much.
…
The owner of Baiyun Temple is Liu Mingxi, who is in his fifties and very polite.
After the two sides sat down and drank tea, Liu Mingxi said, "I heard that the two blessed masters are asking about a female lay practitioner?"
"Yes, Taoist Priest." Old Bacon didn't hide anything.
"I wonder if I can show it to Pindao?"
"sure."
Lao Barou took out the photo and handed it to Liu Mingxi.
Unexpectedly, Daochang Liu only took one look and said, "The missing half of this photo should be a handsome and tall man, right?"
The old bacon suddenly became energetic: "Do you recognize the Taoist priest?"
Daochang Liu smiled slightly: "More than recognition, this photo was taken with Pindao's help."
The old bacon was so happy that he almost jumped up.
No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to find anything, and it won't take any effort at all!
Unexpectedly, the person you have been looking for so hard is right in front of you.
"This girl's surname is Lu, and her name is Lu Yatong."
An even more unexpected thing happened. Daochang Liu even said Lu Yatong’s name directly:
"The man next to him has a surname of Xin, but if Master Xin doesn't agree to tell him what his name is, I don't know."
Sure enough, Xin Yiyao!
Luck has really come!
Old Bacon listened patiently to what Master Liu said: "That year, about six years ago, Pindao went to Shaolong Temple to meet friends. When he came back, he happened to meet Master Lu Fu and Master Xin Fu. When they saw Pindao, they asked Pindao to help them. Take a picture.
The poor poor Taoist had never played with a camera before, but Xinfu taught me how to do it. He reluctantly took a picture for them, just to avoid making people laugh. "
"Taoist priest, did they come in a car?"
"Exactly. When Pindao saw the car, he knew that they were either officials or rich. What happened?"
"Ah, it's okay, Taoist Master, please continue."
Taoist priest Liu continued: "Later, Master Lu Fu and Master Xin Fu said they wanted to visit Baiyun Temple. I saw that Master Xin Fu was not very happy, but in the end I still followed Master Lu Fu's wishes.
The two arrived at Baiyun Temple. Master Lu Fu was very pious, and Pindao even invited them to have a meal. Later, it got late, so they stayed overnight in the temple and had breakfast early the next day before going down the mountain.
Speaking of which, it was Pindao's fault. According to the stipulations in the temple, they were invited to two rooms respectively, so that lovers could not live together. Lord Xin Fu was still very unhappy. "
It can be concluded completely.
Xin Yiyao and Lu Yatong were lovers at the time.
But, this still doesn't prove anything.
After asking for a while, and seeing that he couldn't get anything out of it, the old bacon stood up and left.
Daochang Liu sent them all the way outside the temple.
Seeing them about to get off the car, Daochang Liu suddenly asked:
"I haven't asked you yet, what are your professions?"
"We are the police."
"police?"
Daochang Liu's expression changed slightly: "Is Lord Lu Fu no longer alive?"
The old bacon was surprised: "How did the Taoist Master know?"
Taoist priest Liu was silent for a while and then said, "Don't you ask me, Lord, why I just told you so much in detail?"
The old bacon said quickly: "It was my negligence, please give me some advice from the Taoist priest."
"Tell me first, has Lord Rufu passed away?"
The old bacon nodded silently.
"God's will, God's will." Liu Daochang sighed: "After all, Lord Lu Fu expected that such a day would come to him."
The old bacon frowned.
What's the meaning? Did Lu Yatong already know that he would die?
"Two blessed masters, blessed master Lu came to me later." Taoist priest Liu said slowly: "He said that if one day someone comes here to inquire about her, then she may no longer be alive.
She also left something behind and said that if anyone comes looking for her, just give this thing to them! "
