Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 782 Headless Corpse
"My lord, what are your orders?" Lu Jitong asked with a bow.

"Brother Lu, go and check the relationship between the two deceased, as detailed as possible." Li Canghai said.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll take care of the humble job." After saying that, Lu Jitong left the inn.

After Lu Jitong left, Li Canghai locked himself in the room and fell into deep thought.

In fact, regarding these two murder cases, Li Canghai already had doubts in his heart.

But doubt is no proof.

What's more, he has never figured out the murderer's motive for killing.

If one wants to solve a murder case, the method and motive of the murder are crucial. As long as one can figure these out, one will be closer to the truth.

Regarding Lantern Chen's death, Li Canghai had already figured out the murderer's method of attack. If the murderer was the person he had in mind, then the murderer's motives were hard for him to understand.

In addition, it is Qian Lin.

Unlike Lantern Chen, Lantern Chen's death was shrouded in mist. If Li Canghai hadn't been extra careful, he might have been regarded as an accidental crash.

But Qian Lin was killed in broad daylight, with very obvious traces of using the murder weapon.

The murderer who killed Lantern Chen obviously wanted to make Lantern Chen's death into an illusion of an accidental fall.

Generally, by doing this, the murderer can either escape suspicion or not arouse suspicion.

But the person who killed Qian Lin didn't seem to be afraid of being discovered, Qian Lin was killed by someone.

It can be seen that the styles of the two murder cases are very different, and the murderer may not be the same person.

If there is no connection between the two murders, it means that the two murders are independent homicides.

However, if there is a connection between the two murders, it is likely to be a partnership.

These two situations, no matter which one they are, are extremely troublesome, and it is not easy to solve these two murder cases.

The whole night, Li Canghai thought about the case, and didn't go to bed until late at night.

This time, Li Canghai did not sleep soundly.

As the sky was getting brighter, he got up and walked on the street alone in the cold wind.

The cold wind in the morning was mixed with snow particles, and it was painful on the face.

Li Canghai wrapped his collar around his neck to prevent the snow particles from blowing into his neck, and then he started walking on the snow.

In a day, early morning is the most conducive time for thinking. Li Canghai has always had the habit of taking a walk in the early morning.

Walking while thinking, often makes his mind more sensitive.

Gray sky with dark clouds.

Soon, the snow particles turned into snowflakes, falling down in fluttering waves.

With his hands clasped in his sleeves, Li Canghai walked aimlessly in contemplation.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, so Li Canghai had to stop.

Looking up and looking around, he found a deserted house not far away, so he stepped on the snow and walked over.

This deserted house has been dilapidated for many years, Li Canghai did not enter the deserted house, but stopped in front of the door.

After shaking Luoxue on his body, Li Canghai let out a sigh of relief into his fists, and then circulated power in his body to maintain his own temperature.

But at this moment, Li Canghai suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure flashing in the deserted house through the crack of the door.

Li Canghai looked carefully through the crack of the door, and found that figure walking back and forth in the deserted house, as if looking for something.

After seeing the figure clearly, Li Canghai frowned.

After pondering for a while, he did not push the door in, but quietly left the deserted house.

Back at the inn, Zhou Chang was waiting for him anxiously.

Seeing that Li Canghai was safe and sound, Zhou Chang's anxiety eased.

"My lord, you go out alone. If something happens to you, I will not be able to explain to the Holy One!" Zhou Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a long breath.

Li Canghai smiled and said: "I just went out for a walk, what could happen? Mr. Zhou came to the inn so early in the morning, but what did he find?"

"Your Excellency, you want the officials to monitor Luo Fu's every move. After the officials return, they will go to monitor immediately. Luo Fu did not go out at night, but this morning, Luo Fu left home alone and went to Dragon God. After about a stick of incense, he returned home from the Dragon Temple in a hurry. I don’t dare to act rashly, so I came to report to the Lord.” Zhou Chang calmed down and said.

"Dragon Temple? What is he doing there?" Li Canghai lowered his head and thought for a moment, then decided to visit the Dragon Temple.

Asking Di Qing to stay and protect Li Yu, Li Canghai hurriedly left the inn with Zhou Chang and rushed to the Dragon Temple.

The Dragon Temple is located in the southeast of Fufeng Town. It is a dilapidated and desolate temple. Few people visit it on weekdays. It has been so old that weeds are overgrown.

When Li Canghai came to the Dragon Temple, he saw two lines of indistinct shoe prints on the snow.

Looking carefully, the two rows of shoe prints are different in size and depth.

Larger shoe prints are lighter, while slightly smaller shoe prints are darker.

It can be seen that the larger shoe print existed before the small shoe print, and the reason why it looks lighter is because it is covered by snowflakes.

Seeing these two lines of footprints, Li Canghai instantly thought that besides Luo Fu, there was another person who came to the Dragon Temple.

Thinking of what Zhou Chang said before, Luo Fu left the Dragon Temple with a panicked expression, Li Canghai suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly entered the temple.

Apart from a main hall, there is only a circle of walls left in the Dragon Temple.

Among the walls, weeds regenerated, and the main hall also looked dilapidated.

Li Canghai stepped into the main hall, and a gust of heat rushed over his face, making people feel much warmer.

Li Canghai looked up, and it turned out that there was a bonfire burning in the corner on the right side of the main hall.

Not far from the bonfire, it was a shocking scene!
I saw a dead body lying on the ground, with a heavy stone statue of Bi An on it, and bloody water all around.

Zhou Chang walked into the hall, saw the corpse on the ground, and the bloody water mixed with sticky white liquid around the corpse, and instantly understood that it was a mixture of brain and blood, and suddenly there was a churning in his abdomen, and he hurried to the door to vomit .

Li Canghai frowned. Although he had seen many corpses, this was the first time he had seen such a brain-splitting corpse.

Li Canghai walked up to the corpse, stretched out his hand and pushed the stone statue of Bi An on top of the corpse, and found that the stone statue was very heavy, weighing at least a hundred catties.

Li Canghai called four yamen servants, and they worked together to remove the Bi An stone statue from the corpse with great effort.

As soon as they moved away, everyone suddenly gasped.

The entire head of the deceased was smashed into pieces, like a smashed watermelon.

Seeing the tragic state of the corpse, Li Canghai's face suddenly became solemn like never before.

"Master Zhou, go and arrest Luo Fu immediately!" Li Canghai said seriously.

Zhou Chang almost vomited out his gall. Hearing what Li Canghai said, he nodded his head and staggered away from the Dragon Temple.
