Early the next morning, before the sun had risen, Xia Wenxiu had already gotten up.
She saw Ran Jie sitting in front of the tent, smiling and saying hello:
"Hello, Brother Ran!"
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Ran Jie asked.
He knew that Xia Wenxiu worked very hard in his uncle's shop. He said it was true that he couldn't eat well or sleep well.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a seventeen-year-old to look like a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old, malnourished.
"Sleep well." Xia Wenxiu explained, "Really, these two days were the best sleep I've had in the past few years."
"Okay, let's go wash up." Ran Jie pointed to the gentle river, "The water is quite clean, and there aren't any wild animals now."
"OK."
Xia Wenxiu agreed and walked towards the river carrying the toiletry bag Ran Jie bought for herself.
She knew very well how much her two elder brothers had taken care of her, and no matter how much she said thanks, she couldn't express her gratitude. I can only repay you in a better way in the future.
Zhu Yu had also gotten up at this time, and he said to Xia Wenxiu:
"I have asked my classmate to inquire about your aunt. Don't worry, my classmate is a local in Shenghai. It is very easy to find someone, especially when the address is relatively clear. Maybe There’s news coming back today.”
The three of them washed up, had breakfast, packed up their tents, and then drove off according to the route Zhu Yu had determined in advance.
Kaede Asada knocked on the door of the Tanaka family temple.
A middle-aged woman opened the door.
"You are..." Asada Hanana received the report and found out that the only old monk in this temple was the old monk Hong Yuan. Now this middle-aged woman is...
"I am from the village, responsible for Master Wangyuan's diet." The middle-aged woman bowed her head and said, "After Master Wangyuan disappeared, the village asked me to look after this temple."
"I'm a police officer, come here to take a look and collect clues." Asada Hanana took out her police officer ID and showed it to the woman, then said:
"When did you discover that Master Hongyuan was missing? Have you done anything here?"
"Yesterday morning. We came to deliver meals to Master Wangyuan as usual, but found that no one opened the door. Then we opened the door and went in. We found that the people who came to pray the day before and Master Wangyuan were gone."
Asada Kaana already knew about these situations when she received the report. Now she heard it again just to confirm it.
She entered the family temple and followed the woman inside.
In the main hall, the smell of incense and candles was relatively strong. Asada looked around and found nothing wrong, but her eyes fell on the door lock of the side hall.
"What's in here?" she asked the woman.
"I don't know. The master never opened it and didn't let us ask. It is said that some pilgrims who prayed for blessings wanted to inquire, but the master gave them a lecture and said that it was a relic of the Tanaka family and was not allowed to be opened."
Asada Hanana glanced at it. According to the procedure, two people were required to open it together. Her partner was not here, so she did not open it immediately and planned to search elsewhere first.
After walking around the hall, I didn't find anything wrong - mainly because Ran Jie cleaned it up too clean, and after two days, there were really no traces on the ground.
Under the guidance of the woman, Asada Kaana came to the bungalow at the back.
"Master usually lives here." The woman pointed to Master Hongyuan's meditation room and said, "Next to it is the guest room."
Asada Hanana went in and took a look and found that it was very clean. It was obvious that she didn't leave in a hurry or something happened in a hurry.
There was a smell of medicine in the kitchen. Asada Kaana opened the herb cabinet and took a look, but she didn't recognize anything.
She closed the cabinet door, left the room, and went to two more guest rooms.
Nothing was found either.
Then he went around to the back.
At a glance, she saw the burned corner bungalow and the signs of disturbance in the vegetable patch.
"What's over there?" Asada Hanana asked, pointing to the corner, "When?
Burnt? "
"It should have been...the day before yesterday." The woman thought for a while and said, "We saw the fireworks at that time, but Master Hongyuan didn't speak and he was in a corner, so we didn't come over."
Kaede Asada walked over, picked up a branch along the way, and rummaged through the pile of burned rubble.
You can see the burned incense burner and some masonry.
The original tablet was made of wood, but it had long since turned into ashes.
Basically you can't tell what's going on here.
Kaeda Asada felt depressed for no reason.
No clues can be found!
There were no human bones or anything like that, and obviously no one was burned here.
Then she came to the place where the vegetable patch was being turned over.
"We dug and looked for it, but there are no bodies here." The woman probably guessed Asada Hanana's thoughts and explained.
However, Asada Hanana saw the signs of turning over.
She is a police officer. Although she is not the best in the police station, she has taken over a lot of people. The clues she has experienced and heard about made her think of something at this moment.
After looking around, I found a shovel and started digging in the vegetable patch.
The middle-aged woman asked doubtfully:
"What are you digging here? Is there anything? Do you need help?"
At first, Asada Hanana was worried about what this middle-aged woman knew. But now when she heard what she said, she raised her head and said:
"Let's dig here. I think there's something buried underneath."
The middle-aged woman smiled and took the shovel from Asada Kaana's hand and said:
"I'll do it. We can just do this kind of farm work. You're a policeman, just watch—"
He said digging with his car.
After digging less than half a meter, the shovel hit something hard.
The woman picked up the shovel, looked at it and saw that it was a bone!
Human bones!
"What's buried under here is..." The middle-aged woman was also surprised, "What is it?"
In fact, she had already smelled the smell of corpses at this time, but she didn't expect it to be human bones.
Asada Hanana had already taken out her mobile phone and dialed Oyama Yosuke:
"Oyama-senpai? I found human bones buried in the vegetable field behind the Tanaka family temple. I don't know how many bones there are yet. I need support here!"
Oyama Yosuke was still conducting an investigation, but when he heard Asada Hanana's words, he was shocked and immediately said:
"Wait there and take care of yourself. I'll lead someone there right away!"
It was said to be right away, but by the time Oyama Yosuke passed by, it was already noon.
At this time, Asada Hanana and the middle-aged woman had dug up two human bones.
"This is a boy and a girl. They should have been buried two or three months ago."
Asada Hanana said, but at this time, a young man in a suit brought by Oyama Yosuke said after watching the scene:
"To be specific, it should have been three months ago. It was indeed a man and a woman, and they were buried alive."
"Who is so cruel!" This is burial alive!
The middle-aged woman's face has turned pale.
She has obviously guessed the answer - besides Master Wangyuan, who else can it be?
This time Oyama Yosuke brought a team of police, and they immediately searched the temple.
The two side halls that were originally locked were opened, but looking at the empty shelves inside, Asada Hanana and Oyama Yosuke looked ugly.
"Originally, I thought Master Wangyuan might have been killed. But now it seems that our guess may be a little wrong." Yosuke Oyama said: "Judging from the traces, the things inside should have been taken away recently."
His meaning was obvious. It was very likely that some of Master Hongyuan's actions had been discovered, so he left in a hurry with his things.
And that Wang Wei is very likely to be the victim after this man and woman!
As for the two young Chinese people, it's hard to say what role they played in this incident. It's hard to say whether they were passers-by or participants.
But judging from the fact that they returned to Kumamoto Prefecture safely after rescuing people in the small town and stayed there for one night, they probably weren't doing it.
"There was no blood or signs of struggle in Ms. Meako's car. It was most likely driven away normally and naturally." This was Oyama Yosuke's addition.
Now both of them have begun to focus on finding Master Hongyuan, consciously or unconsciously, in solving the case.
"Let's ask around in the village first." Oyama Yosuke said: "Master Wangzhan should be very familiar with the people in the village, and if he wants to leave the village, it may be difficult for him to escape the eyes of the people in the village."
He glanced at the helpless middle-aged woman not far away with a shocked expression:
"Unless the people in the village protect me!"
While the police were conducting inquiries and searches in the temple and the village, two cars drove to the gate of the temple.
Seeing the temple door open, it turned out that the man with glasses was a little confused. He saw the police car in front of the temple, and when he was hesitating whether to go in, Asada Kaana came out of the temple and saw him immediately.
"Who are you?" Hanana Asada saw the bespectacled man's expression and immediately asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I...I am a relative of the Tanaka family. There is no one else in the Tanaka family, and I am the only close relative. I came to Hongyuan to ask for the things that the Tanaka family left in the family temple..."
Glasses Tian didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the police, and what he said was nonsense.
"Did you know that there is something belonging to the Tanaka family hidden in this temple? What is it?"
"I don't know the specifics..." The man with glasses secretly felt bitter in his heart. If he had known better, he would not have waded into this muddy water. Why did he even get into trouble with the police?
But when the police asked, he didn't dare not say:
"I just heard from my sister that there are some cultural relics that the head of the Tanaka family brought back from China in the early years..."
When he said this, Asada Hanana immediately became more firm in her original guess. She asked:
"Does Hongzhan also know about those things?"
"I know, of course I know!" When the man with glasses heard the policeman's tone of voice when talking about Hongzhi, he clearly noticed something and said with certainty:
"Some of those things are medical books and qigong books. Hongzhan often studies them. He is over seventy years old and is still very powerful. He can't beat four or five twenty-year-old boys!"
"Wizhan is so powerful?" Asada Hanana didn't believe it.
"Really! It's absolutely true! Everyone in the village knows it!" The man with glasses almost swore.
Asada Hanana feels that she may have found the truth!
Zhu Yu and the others naturally didn't know that the police were chasing them at this time, because what Hongzhi had done before had led to a change in the direction of their investigation of the case, which freed themselves and Ran Jie from the main suspect.
It was already noon when they arrived at a small town directed by Cao Dalong.
This town is more prosperous than the town where Xia Wenxiu is located, with more people and many foreign tourists.
There are many shops and people engaged in the service industry here, but the order is much better. There are police patrolling the streets, so the gangsters don't dare to cause trouble.
When the car arrived in the town, before Zhu Yu could call Cao Dalong, Cao Dalong had already appeared in front of them.
Zhu Yu got out of the car and looked at Cao Dalong and a beautiful girl beside him.
"I knew you were coming soon!" Cao Dalong happily said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, let me introduce to you. This is Xiao Luxiang, a college student who studies Chinese and is now my director and translator."
Xiao Luxiang is a bookish girl, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and her dress is somewhat traditional. She has leather hair, a long-sleeved shirt and ordinary pants, which feels more conservative.
After Cao Dalong's introduction, Xiao Luxiang bowed to Zhu Yu:
"Hello Zhujun!"
Ran Jie has also come down, and then Xia
Wenxiu.
Cao Dalong was a little surprised when he saw Xia Wenxiu. Ran Jie held his shoulders and explained a few words in a low voice.
"Mr. Kanda Chuuji is waiting for you all in the restaurant." Koroka said, "Would you like to go over now?"
"Okay." Zhu Yu nodded. Cao Dalong and Ran Jie had finished communicating over there, and then entered the restaurant together.
In the private room on the second floor of the restaurant, Zhu Yu saw Kanda Zhongji and the two cultural relics that Cao Dalong took for him.
The things were put in a box. Zhu Yu could tell that the box was also old and made of mahogany.
"Hello, Mr. Zhu!" Kanda Nakahito stood up and said with a smile.
Xiao Luchun translated the whole process.
"Hello. Nice to meet you." Zhu Yu was also very happy.
As he spoke, he looked down at the two things and asked:
"Can I take a closer look?"
"Of course." Kanda Zhongji couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Cao said that you are an expert in this field, so naturally I need you to evaluate it."
Zhu Yu took action without ceremony, picked up the bronze tiger first, and looked at it carefully.
In fact, if you open your heavenly eye, you can tell at a glance that this is something from the Warring States Period. There is only one character on it, which should be the character "tiger" in small seal script.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Zhu Yu suddenly asked:
"Mr. Kanda, are you interested in making a bigger fortune?"
"Bigger ones? How many are there?" Kanda stopped counting the money, raised his head and asked:
"Is that much?"
"There are two more." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "As long as you promise to introduce me to your grandfather, I will give you twice the money!"
"No! Absolutely not! If my grandfather finds out that I stole his things, he will beat me to death!" Kanda Chuji actually refused!
