Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

When Li Quan came back, it was already very late again.Bai Sanxiu originally wanted to tell him about the file, but found that his hands were extremely cold, and his whole body was chilled.

"You went out?"

His clothes were cold and damp, he didn't look like he had been in Dali Temple for a day.She quickly took off his coat for him, poured a cup of hot water and handed it to him.

Li Quan drank it all in one gulp, took her into his arms and hugged her, and said: "Ma Laotai has been found."

Bai Sanxiu wanted to help him cover his hands, but he hugged her, she couldn't help it, and his ears felt cold even when touched, so she simply helped him cover them.

"where?"

"It's near the place you asked, in a ravine. It's dead."

Bai Sanxiu frowned, "Is it an accident or..."

Li Quan said: "She has some scars caused by the fall, but no signs of human abuse were found. I inspected the scene, and the body was also sent to the mortuary of Dali Temple for Wu Zuo to look at. It has been a few days since the incident happened, but Tian Han, Coupled with the few snowfalls in the past few days, it is difficult to judge the exact time of death."

The implication is that there is no way to determine whether Mrs. Ma happened before or after the application of the medicine.

However, although no trace of her murder could be found, neighbors also testified that she had only left the city a few days ago, but a kind-hearted old woman accidentally cured a strange disease and saved the world from fire and water, but she died unexpectedly within a few days , is there really such a coincidence in the world?
Bai Sanxiu can't say for sure, but she just feels that things are not simple, just like those civil engineering construction files 20 years ago.

She told Li Quan that Le Yan had also asked for the old documents, and Li Quan thought for a moment, then said, "It shouldn't be such a coincidence. Le Yan must be investigating something by reading these old documents."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, and met Bai Sanxiu's eyes.In an instant, both sides thought of one thing tacitly——

The piece of paper left after the fire in the Le house, the official document paper that carried Le Yan's obsession, there is only one word "inch" left on the paper.

Bai Sanxiu made a guess uncertainly: "That word can't be 'Temple', can it? Could it be that the piece of paper is a document sent by the Ministry of Industry?"

"I'll ask someone to ask tomorrow." Li Quan said, "Maybe this time, we can find the answer to the doubts about the Le Zhai arson case."

-

The next day, Li Guan went to the ancestral hall and consulted Le Yan's former colleagues.

After greeting each other, Li Quan went straight to the point: "I heard that Mr. Le once consulted the construction records of a batch of temples 20 years ago from the Ministry of Industry. Those records may be related to the case I am investigating. I wonder if Mr. Xu knows about Mr. Le. Why do you want to read those documents?"

Xu Cong, a doctor in the ancestral hall, has a higher rank than Li Quan, but the power and responsibility of Dali Temple is not comparable to that of his ancestral hall, so he is very polite to this junior and knows everything.

"The official is not sure, but the official guesses that it is related to several cases at that time."

"case?"

Li Quan was puzzled.He has heard of most of the cases inside and outside Chang'an City, even if they don't have to be sent to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.The case that Wai Lang, a member of the ancestral hall, must be concerned about is not a small case, but he has no impression of it at all.

Xu Cong recalled it for a while, and then said: "Probably since the middle of last year, old tombs have been stolen frequently in the suburbs of the city, and some temples have also found traces of being excavated."

It turned out to be a robbery.Li Quan thought it was some kind of criminal case.Although he had heard about it, he didn't take it to heart.Several tombs were stolen at that time, and many funerary objects were lost, which caused the officials and wealthy people in Chang'an City to be nervous for a long time.But after thinking about it for a while, he understood the key.

"Are those graves from 20 years ago?"

"That's right. Mr. Li knows that the newly selected grave site by the officials needs to be reported for approval because it occupies a large area. At that time, Mr. Le heard about the robbery incident and had some impressions of the age of the stolen grave site. Digging the temple is also a little suspicious."

"I understand." Li Quan said, "Lord Le suspects that someone is looking for something."
