The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 9 The Mysterious Case of Qingyuan Temple

He was slightly startled, and thought quietly in his heart, was there anything wrong yesterday?

Why is she here again?

Yes, although this small car has no special features, Lin’s eyesight is extraordinary. Through the glass window, he recognized the driver at a glance. She was the policewoman Zhou Mei from yesterday.

Zhou Mei's car drifted beautifully and stopped outside Lin Xiaosu's gate. She and another woman got out of the car at the same time and walked to the gate.

Lin Xiaosu glanced at the woman and was slightly shocked. There were too many things wrong with this woman...

But his gaze only briefly fell on Zhou Mei's face: "Officer Zhou, do you still think there's something wrong with me? Did you come all the way here to arrest me?"

"Yes!" Zhou Mei said with a straight face: "We analyzed it all night last night and felt that you have a big problem, so we wanted to invite you to the bureau to have a bowl of noodles..."

"When you government officials arrest criminals, shouldn't the general rule be to take them to the police station for tea? Why are they eating noodles?" Lin Xiaosu frowned.

Zhou Mei chuckled: "You still care about the difference between drinking tea and eating noodles. It seems that you really haven't done anything bad."

"I didn't do anything bad."

"Then...please invite us into the house for a cup of tea?" Zhou Mei said.

Lin Xiaosu opened the gate...

The two women walked in side by side. Lin Xiaosu came out holding a teapot and saw the eyes of the new beauty. The eyes were very strange, very clean, and very deep. They really didn't look like the eyes of a woman living in this world.

"Is this also a police officer?" Lin Xiaosu first poured a cup of tea for the new beauty.

Zhou Mei smiled: "You are lucky, this is my leader, Officer Chang from the Provincial Department."

"Long night!" The beautiful woman uttered two words softly, her voice was very calm and clear.

"Welcome, two beautiful police officers!" Lin Xiaosu smiled and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Mei's gaze turned to the long night...

Chang Ye spoke up: "Mr. Lin's detective skills yesterday were amazing, and I admire them deeply. I came here today, first, to thank Mr. Lin, and second, I have another case and I want to ask you for help."

Lin Xiaosu said, "There's no need to thank me. If this matter wasn't related to my partner's fighting gym, I wouldn't have gotten involved in the police investigation. As for the other case... I really don't have time. To be honest with you two officers, I'm taking the civil service exam and I'm a bit pressed for time."

Zhou Mei said: "Hey, helping the police solve cases is the responsibility of every citizen..."

Chang Ye gently raised his hand to stop her slogan-like chanting: "We just saw your mother on the road. Your mother was carrying a load of vegetables to sell in the market."

"That's right. I didn't even help my mother sell vegetables and let her work so hard. It shows that I really don't have time." Lin Xiaosu said.

"Selling vegetables is for the family's livelihood. In fact, you can help your mother relieve some of the pressure. Help me do this and I will pay you!"

Lin Xiaosu was stunned.

Zhou Mei was also stunned.

Are provincial and departmental leaders so bold when handling cases?

Of course, she didn't know Chang Ye's true identity. Chang Ye had told the director not to reveal her identity.

Chang Ye looked into Lin Xiaosu's eyes and smiled. Her smile was like an orchid blooming in the quiet night: "I have seen the look in your eyes! Ten thousand yuan has been deposited into your account!"

Ding!
Lin Xiaosu's phone received a text message notification sound at this moment. He opened it and saw a message: Your bank card (ending with ****) received a transfer of 10000.00 yuan...

Lin Xiaosu was very conflicted.

After revealing this great magical power yesterday, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart.

It was okay when facing Zhou Mei, but facing the long night, he was a little nervous. He always felt that this unrealistically beautiful policewoman in front of him was not a good person. How could he tell?
Not to mention her sixth sense, just a few details of hers are enough to show it. She knows his mother, she didn't ask for his bank card number, but she could transfer money to him accurately.

This all shows that she has conducted a precise investigation on him, which is not a good sign... Therefore, he really doesn't want to get involved in her affairs.

But, she gave too much!
Come on, just do it for one month’s salary as a civil servant.

"Officer Chang's style... shows his sincerity!" Lin Xiaosu sighed softly: "Tell me, what's the case?"

Long Night said...

Zhou Mei was stunned.

The leader asked her to accompany Officer Chang from the provincial department to do some work, but he didn't say it was for this matter. What could be accomplished from this matter? It was a very typical accident, not a case at all.

Lin Xiaosu was also a little surprised...

Four days ago, in a meditation room at Qingyuan Temple on Tashan Mountain, a scholar who had lived here for many years suddenly died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The door of the meditation room was closed from the inside. There were no wounds on the deceased's body. Everything was consistent with the symptoms of a cerebral hemorrhage. The doctor had determined that it was a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, but on this long night, he was asked to solve this unsolved case...

"I want to know...why do you think there's something wrong with his death?" Lin Xiaosu frowned.

"Because he once told me that I would never die before my ambitions are fulfilled!" Chang Ye looked very sad when he said these eight words.

"I will never die before my ambition is fulfilled. What a heroic oath! But how many people in this world die voluntarily?"

"No matter what, I want to give it a try!" Chang Ye said, "Go to that meditation room and use your method of capturing auras or your method of investigating the case of Widow Feng taking a bath to find all the suspicious clues in this house. Even if you can't find any clues, as long as you have done your best, you have completed the mission."

"The body's gone, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

It was an empty house where someone had died four days ago. Most people would just go through the motions to investigate the matter. But Lin Xiaosu thought for a while and nodded gently: "Let's go!"

The car rushed out of Laotashon Village.

The villagers were not alarmed.

After turning a few corners, you will reach the other side of Tashan.

Tashan is a mountain separating the county town and Lao Tashan Village. The viewing experience is completely different when viewed from both sides.

Looking from the Laotashan Village, you can see a pristine mountain with cliffs, jungles, and a Taoist temple called Liulin Temple that has been in disrepair for a long time.

Looking from the county town, there is a children's playground at the foot of the mountain, the beautiful and quiet Tashan Lake, the ever-changing Tashan Park, the Qingyuan Ancient Temple in the mountain, a TV broadcast tower and a meteorological tower on the top of the mountain.

Such a place is the most ideal weekend leisure destination for the 160,000 residents of the county. Therefore, with the addition of various supporting facilities year by year, this side of Tashan has gradually shown a deep integration of man and nature.

Qingyuan Temple is a very old temple with a lot of incense. How prosperous is it? Let me tell you an interesting financial story. Several banks in the county were racking their brains to compete for the temple's incense account. They didn't know how to do public relations. The other party was a monk, and it was inappropriate to give money, wine, or women. So, one bank came up with a trick. They made their office director retire early and let him join the Buddhist Association as a secretary-general. In this way, they got in touch with Qingyuan Temple and won the account with tens of millions of funds. Everyone said that this is called "a winding path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is full of flowers and trees." The ancient poem was interpreted in this way, which can be regarded as a financial legend.

Qingyuan Temple has also been open to the public in recent years.

The biggest manifestation is that it is open to some scholars.

Tashan is rich in plant resources, including many plant specimens that have long been extinct or are difficult to find in the outside world. Therefore, some agricultural universities and research teams have sent people to live here for a long time to obtain plant samples from the mountains and conduct various research.

Lin Xiaosu and his team’s target is just such a person.

His name is Qu Taiqing, an old scholar in the research team. He has lived here for eight years but has no sense of existence. Even though he died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in the meditation room, few people knew about it.

Led by an old monk, they came to the Zen room in the backyard of Qingyuan Temple, a secluded Zen room, which was the house where Qu Taiqing lived.

When the door was opened, there was actually not much inside, just a few pieces of furniture, an incense burner, an armchair, and a bed. There were also a few books on the table, which were Buddhist scriptures from the temple.

Chang Ye told Lin Xiaosu at the door that there were originally some research materials and some plant specimens in here. These things were taken away, but other things that were not related to the research were still there and were all in their original places. No unrelated personnel had entered the house after the accident, and those who went in to collect the materials all wore special clothes to ensure that no breath was leaked.

What this means is that you can go in and smell it. If there is the scent of a second person besides the scent left by Qu Taiqing, that person is the suspect.
