Seeing this, Shi Ji walked back into the courtyard without saying a word, picked up the iron rod from the ground, stood behind Shi Ji, picked up the iron rod with both hands, and hit Lao Liu on the head with one stick after another until Lao Liu made no move.
Monk Tian was wearing green clothes and ancient lanterns, eating fast and doing good deeds. Now Shi Ji actually killed two people in the temple in front of him.
Monk Tian angrily scolded Shi Ji, saying, "You actually killed someone in front of the Buddha. Aren't you afraid of retribution?" If you kill Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, you can hide their whereabouts? The police are already looking for you, and now that there's been a murder, they'll be here soon. Since you killed both of them, why not kill me too, otherwise I will call the police.
But Shi Ji said, if you leave me to recuperate in the temple, I won't kill you, and I won't stop you if you want to call the police.
After a brief tidying up, Shi Ji left in a hurry. Before leaving, he picked up the portrait that was thrown on the ground and looked at it carefully, as if to confirm whether the person in the painting looked like him. Finally, he stuffed the piece of paper into his pocket and left.
Shi Ji's leg injury had already healed.
Monk Tian looked at the two corpses, but he was in a dilemma.
Call the police now and let the police arrest Shi Ji? But when he thought of Shi Ji's face and the days and nights they spent together over the past few months, he stuffed the phone he took out back into his pocket several times. Although Shi Ji talks little, judging from his speech and behavior, he is not emotionless towards himself.
But what should we do with the dead Lao Liu and Xiao Tan?
Thinking of these two people, Monk Tian turned over Lao Liu's body again, hoping for a miracle to happen. However, after careful inspection for a long time, he had to accept the fact that Lao Liu was dead. The same is true for Xiao Tan.
After thinking about it, Monk Tian believed that he was the one who took in Shi Ji and lured the wolf into the house. Lao Liu and Xiao Tan appeared in the Lotus Temple and died at the hands of Shi Ji. In the final analysis, it was because of him. I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
Then I thought about it, since I was at my age and half of my body had already been buried in the soil, so I might as well bear the crime of murder for Shi Ji. In this way, the traces of Shiji will not be exposed.
But after taking out his cell phone again, the clever Monk Tian suddenly had an idea. Murder can be divided into intentional homicide, manslaughter and death caused by self-defense. Why don't I fight for self-defense? Anyway, apart from Shi Ji, there was no third living person at the scene. How exactly did Lao Liu and Xiao Tan die? Didn't they have the final say?
So, with such naive thoughts, there was the opening scene like before, where Monk Tian called the police and said on the phone: He killed someone, Lao Liu killed someone...
Monk Tian's account covers almost all the evidence found at the scene.
Li Zhudao and Lu Kai immediately fell into thinking.
After a long time, Lu Kai said: "Captain Li, that's it, right? As long as Shi Ji is caught, this case will be solved."
Li Zhudao shook his head and looked at Lu Kai: "It's still wrong."
Then, he looked at Monk Tian and said, "You still haven't told the truth. What you said may only be part of the truth, or it may be a new story you made up. But you made up a story completely out of thin air in a short period of time, and at the same time It’s unlikely that all on-site elements can be combined and it’s logical.”
"I said before that your level of story telling was too low and you didn't take into account all the evidence elements at the scene. Didn't you get a great inspiration? It turns out that without witnesses, you just need to incorporate all the evidence elements into the storyline and meet the requirements. Can logic become the truth?"
"So, you told half-truths and half-falsehoods, telling a story that seemed to explain all the evidence at the scene?"
Monk Tian said angrily: "Comrade, you don't believe this, you don't believe that, even if you tell the truth, you still don't believe it. What do you want to hear? Why don't you just tell me what to say, and I'll tell you what you taught me. Listen, this will always satisfy you, right?
Li Zhudao ignored Monk Tian's nonsense: "You have indeed integrated the on-site evidence related to Lao Liu and Xiao Tan into this story very smoothly, but there are some details that have nothing to do with them, which you may not be aware of. , so it shows its flaws."
Monk Tian's eyes rolled around and he couldn't help blurting out: "What details?"
Lu Kai also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Li Zhudao spread his hands and said, "That's the police call. Let me ask you again, where did your police call go?"
Lu Kai reacted immediately.
But Monk Tian didn't even think about it: "110..."
Seeing Li Zhudao's half-smiling eyes, Monk Tian suddenly changed his mind: "No, no, no, I'll think about it again... It seems like I called the police station."
Li Zhudao still maintained a Mona Lisa-like smile: "If you think about it carefully, did you call 110 or the police station?"
Monk Tian was extremely embarrassed. Sometimes it says "110", and then it says "Police Station". But facing Li Zhudao's mysterious smile, he was still not sure whether it was "110" or the "police station".
Finally, he resorted to his usual trick.
"I'm too old to remember." When Monk Tian said this, he was still as confident as ever.
Li Zhudao said "Oh" lightly and didn't care too much. He asked instead, "Then you don't remember what you said to the police when you called the police?"
Monk Tian hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Indeed... I can't remember clearly."
Li Zhudao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We have a recording. Why don't we bring the recording to help you recall your memories?"
Monk Tian pretended to cough a few times, but said, "This has nothing to do with the case, right?"
Li Zhudao ignored it and stood up to open the door. After whispering a few words to the police officer at the door, he closed the door again and sat back down.
Soon, a laptop was delivered.
Li Zhudao turned on the recording on his computer, and what Monk Tian said on the police phone was played out very clearly: "He killed someone, Lao Liu killed someone! Now he wants to kill me, I'm at the Bailian Temple in Lianhualing."
"This recording was obtained from the local police station. The 110 command center does not have your alarm record." Li Zhudao said, "Of course, you don't remember. We won't say more about this."
Then Li Zhudao pointed to the laptop again: "We have just listened to the recording. The voice in it sounds obviously much younger, and it is obviously different from your voice. More importantly, in your confession, from the beginning To the end, White Lotus Temple was called Lotus Temple, but in the recording of the call to the police, it was also called White Lotus Temple."
"As far as I know, when people in this village call Bailian Temple, they call it Lotus Temple. Only outsiders call it Bailian Temple."
Lianhua Ridge was originally an unknown mountain ridge, so it was named Lianhua Ridge after Bailian Temple. The local villagers screamed and called Bailian Temple Lianhua Temple inexplicably. It can be said that the mountain is named after the temple, and the temple is named after the mountain. During the introduction, the local village cadre even joked that in order to distinguish whether a person is from the village, you only need to listen to how the person is called Lianhuasi. If the person is called Bailiansi, then he is from another village. If he is called Lianhuasi, he is undoubtedly from the village. people.
Finally, Li Zhudao's smile gradually faded, his expression straightened, and he looked at Monk Tian:
"So, it was not you who called the police, but Shi Ji. You only knew that Shi Ji called the police, but you didn't know whether he called 110 or the local police station. You didn't check the phone carefully afterwards. We take it for granted that when calling the police, we should always call 110.”
"There is a sheet of contact information for various agencies in the township on your bedroom, including the local police station's alarm number. Why did Shi Ji not call 110, but directly dial the police station's alarm number? We don't know the reason, but this detail has been You ignored it."
"So, how true or false is the story you just told? What is the truth behind the murder of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan? Tell me!"
Monk Tian was shocked, but he had no intention of confessing, so he thought about other things: "Young man, I am old and have a bad heart. You are so cruel. If you scare me into something bad, you have to take responsibility."
Li Zhudao was unmoved and snorted coldly:
"Your first confession in the hospital was totally wrong. At that time, you probably wanted to save yourself and Shi Ji from the deaths of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan. But you killed like this for the first time.
People make up stories about cases and have no experience at all. The stories they make up are really inferior and self-defeating. "
"When you realize that our police are not pigs, and you can't get away with just a few random words, you change your mind and take full responsibility for the deaths of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, trying to continue to conceal the history of the crime by voluntarily admitting it. There were no actual traces of it. So, you made up a second story."
"Compared to the first story, your second story is an improvement, but it is still full of loopholes and cannot reasonably explain the various evidences at the scene. And in the prompt, you quickly reacted. We have confirmed that Shi Ji is in Bailian The temple has appeared, so your support and protection of Shiji are meaningless. Therefore, you made up a third story."
"I have to say that your story covers almost all the evidence at the scene, but it still has flaws and omissions. But what I want to emphasize is not these, but the purpose of your third story."
"In your third story, Shi Ji was the murderer of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, and you wanted to back him up. If there were no omissions in the police call, we would almost have to take it seriously. Since the authenticity of this story is worth Doubtful, then what is your purpose in making up this story?"
"Your first story is to protect yourself and Shiji, your second story is to protect just Shiji, and the purpose of your third story is not hard to see, it is to protect yourself."
"Here comes the question. Since the purpose of the third story is to only protect yourself, the deaths of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan have nothing to do with you. They were both harmed by Shi Ji. Does that mean that the truth is exactly the same? What about the opposite?"
