Prefect's Yamen.
When Lin Yi and Li Wenbo arrived, they happened to see the anxious Magistrate Song and Sun Tongzhi.
The proud-looking He Yourong and the maid Xiaohuan were also in the government hall.
"Miss, Mr. Lin is here!"
The maid Xiao Huan, who was carrying a small cloth bag across her body, brightened up when she saw Lin Yi and Li Wenbo.
Li Wenbo: "???"
Am I not a young master?
"I know……"
He Yourong glared at Xiao Huan. She was a literary monk, how could she not have any sense at all.
What a fuss.
Magistrate Song and Sun Tongzhi's eyes lit up, and they hurriedly came forward to greet him, cupping their hands and saying, "Scholar Lin, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"Master Song!"
"Master Sun!"
Lin Yi saluted the two court officials, and then asked directly: "Do you have any clues about the two floating corpses?"
"have!"
Magistrate Song nodded and said seriously: "Everyone, sit down and talk!"
Lin Yi sat down with He Yourong.
Just as Li Wenbo was about to take a seat, Xiao Huan, a maid on the side, grabbed his clothes and said softly: "You are a book boy and I am a maid. We can't sit together. It will break the rules!"
"..."
Li Wenbo had a toothache.
But he didn't say much and just stood respectfully with maid Xiaohuan.
This little girl has a point!
"Yesterday, the Yamen followed your suggestion, Master Lin, and posted a call for clues outside the city. Soon people came to inform them. The progress was very smooth!"
Magistrate Song then said sternly: "There was a murder in East Lake, and as Scholar Lin said, Taoism was involved. I dare not neglect it. The author also came to the conclusion... It does have the aura of Taoism!"
'After the Eighth Grade Establishment, I can really see the aura of Taoism...' Lin Yi thought in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that the old man in Tsing Yi beside Su Tong had given him a very special feeling.
Like a monk who has cultivated the Yinshen.
"Scholar Lin, I have great admiration for you!"
Magistrate Song couldn't help but praise him.
After all, if there is help in a Taoist case, the sooner it can be solved, the better. This is all his contribution as an official.
"Prefect Song is serious, let's talk about the specific clues!"
Lin Yi has no feelings for this kind of flattery.
But don’t say it yet.
I feel a little relieved.
After all, if you wear it thousands of times, you won’t be able to wear it even if you are flattering!
He Yourong was on the side, listening quietly, but Xiao Huan, the maid behind her, pouted.
Why do you flatter Mr. Lin?
Her lady also... seems to be accompanying her throughout the whole process?
oh!
That’s okay!
"Scholar Lin should already know the identity of the deceased. He is the shopkeeper and waiter of a small teahouse outside the city. The thing is like this..."
Magistrate Song was about to investigate clearly and told Lin Yi the true clues in detail.
It was probably the shopkeeper and the waiter. When the veteran returned to the city yesterday, an old man in Tsing Yi died in the teahouse.
The shopkeeper and the waiter closed the teahouse and carried the man away, saying he was sending him to Yizhuang.
But some people felt something strange and followed him away.
I found that the shopkeeper and his waiter dug a hole in a mass grave outside the city and buried the old man...
"..."
Lin Yi fell silent after listening.
Logically speaking.
Teahouse owners and waiters should choose to report to the official.
But then I thought about it.
Maybe this is the shopkeeper's emergency escape?
Because the reporter has to pay compensation, even humanitarian compensation may not be affordable for the shopkeeper.
A small teahouse opened outside the city.
It's just a way for poor people to make a living.
"The old man in green..."
Lin Yi suddenly thought of the old man in Tsing Yi next to Su Tong and looked at Magistrate Song: "Master Magistrate, are there any descriptions of the old man in Tsing Yi among the clues provided by the people..."
"have!"
Magistrate Song looked at Sun Tongzhi and said, "Portrait!"
"Here, here."
Sun Tongzhi quickly took the portrait from the table, unfolded it in front of Lin Yi, and said: "This is based on the description of the people who drank tea with the old man..."
'It's him! '
rub!
Lin Yi stood up suddenly, a chill instantly making him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
This portrait.
He looked very much like the old man in green next to Su Tong.
'Died in a teahouse? '
'No, no...he didn't die, he left his body...'
'The veteran returned to the city, yesterday... it was daytime, Yin Shen's day trip! '
Numerous thoughts flashed through Lin Yi's mind, and his expression became more solemn.
A Yin Shen who can travel by day is definitely not a simple ascetic.
he is……
A true disciple of the Humanity Sect!
Not the 'puppet' cultivators of the Humanity Sect!
'They must have some ulterior motive for infiltrating the capital of Nanxiang Mansion, Su Mansion... Su Mansion! '
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with sparkle.
"Scholar Lin, do you know this old man in green?"
When Magistrate Song saw Lin Yi's violent reaction, his breathing became rapid, and he quickly said: "Last night, the Yamen arrest leader took people to the mass grave and found that the old man's body had been stolen. It can be said that the clue ends at..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
He Yourong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The body was not stolen!"
"If the old man in blue is a Taoist... then it can also explain why the teahouse owner and the waiter thought that the old man in green was dead..."
Said.
He Yourong looked at Magistrate Song and Lin Yi and said: "When the Yin Shen leaves the body, to a large extent...it is no different from the deceased, but the pulse and breathing will become very weak."
"That is to say, the death of the shopkeeper and the clerk is related to the old man's return to the body!"
He Yourong looked at Lin Yi and chuckled: "Scholar Lin, does what I said make sense?"
"Young lady is great!"
Maid Xiaohuan couldn't help but applaud.
"..."
Magistrate Song and Sun Tongzhi had dark looks on their faces.
Li Wenbo held his forehead and complained in his heart: "This little girl...what's so exciting about her?"
Lin Yi didn't speak.
He and He Yourong had the same idea.
But... he could clearly feel that the Taoist aura of the deceased did not give him the same feeling as the old man in green.
"That makes sense!"
Lin Yi nodded, but also said: "But the death of the teahouse owner and the waiter should have nothing to do with the old man in green!"
"It doesn't matter?"
He Yourong raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "If it doesn't matter, how can you explain that the body of the old man in green is missing? How can you explain that their two deaths are related to Taoism?"
Lin Yi, with a ray of light in his eyes, gave his opinion: "According to the time of day, the veteran and Dragon Guard teams gathered outside the city. With such momentum, it is difficult for Yin Shen Riyu to approach..."
"Since there is no way to get close, the Yin Shen Gui Qian must at least wait for the aura to dissipate, and from the clues provided by the people... the old man has been buried at this time!"
"And the two deceased people did not return to the teahouse before they were alive, but followed the veteran team into the city!"
"Judging from the time, it seems that the teahouse owner and the waiter were killed first, and the bodies were stolen later!"
"In other words, there was another person who stole the body and killed the teahouse owner and the waiter, and he was also a monk!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at Magistrate Song and said, "May I ask, sir, judging from the on-site analysis, the hole where the old man was buried should have been dug after the deceased in the teahouse, right?"
Song Zhili looked at Lin Yi dumbfounded, his heart was greatly shocked, he swallowed, nodded and said: "Yes!"
He Yourong was stunned.
"Niubi, my lord!"
Li Wenbo blurted out...
