After the prosperous Tang Dynasty

The bitter melon look on Master Daojue's face suddenly deepened, he smiled helplessly, and could only recite "Amitabha" twice.

Xiao Yansui said that she didn't know how to go from here to the hunter's house where she was tied up, which is actually understandable - after all, mountain roads are not so easy to walk, especially this kind of mountain road from one mountain top to another On weekdays, except for the hunters in the past, there are no passers-by, and there are few people. However, with the expansion of Ximing Temple, the number of wild animals around them has gradually decreased, and they have gradually changed their livelihoods.I'm afraid that only some monks who are practicing penance in Ximing Temple may know this mountain road by chance.

In fact, not to mention Xiao Yansui, even Master Daojue, he actually didn't know how to walk through the mountains on this road.

Obviously, the person who attacked Xiao Yansui before had the great ability to live in Ximing Temple, otherwise, he would not be able to replace the furniture and furnishings of the two Zen rooms, and it would be difficult for him to know the path leading directly from Ximing Temple to Orion's house by chance. ...

"In Ximing Temple, there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Gao Lishi sighed softly.

For a while, the wry smile on Master Daojue's face couldn't hold back.

He originally thought that someone had done something in Ximing Temple, but he didn't expect that monks from the temple actually intervened in this matter. I'm afraid it was deeply involved.

"It turned out that the poor monk was negligent on weekdays." Master Daojue sighed deeply, and apologized to Xiao Heng and Xiao Yansui brothers and sisters full of apology.

Xiao Heng's expression moved slightly, but before he could speak, Xiao Yansui, who was standing beside him, asked in a brisk tone with an innocent look of a child: "It's obvious that the bad guy has malicious intentions, why did Master Daojue come from?" This statement?" After a pause, Xiao Yansui continued: "Leaving the culprit alone and blaming people who don't know anything, no matter where you go, there is no such reason."

Xiao Yansui said so, and he really thought so in his heart.What's more, the person behind the scenes has not been caught yet, so what's the point of Master Daojue standing up and apologizing first?

It's better to let this monk work hard, just to clean up the door, and find out the evil monk with six unclean roots in Ximing Temple as soon as possible!

Although Xiao Heng looked down on this monk everywhere because of his sister's injury, but out of the same considerations as Xiao Yansui, he did not show the slightest bit on his face. He explained two sentences.

Gao Lishi, who had been watching from the sidelines, glanced over the brothers and sisters Xiao Yansui and Xiao Heng for a moment. Seeing this, he finally said, "Please ask Master Daojue to find a monk who knows the way. You have to see the scenes in person before you can draw conclusions."

Master Daojue, who knew he was wrong, nodded immediately, and found two monks from Ximing Temple who were more familiar with the mountain road behind.

The mountain road is rough and difficult, Xiao Yansui originally followed Xiao Heng's side every step of the way. However, her body is still young after all, and she inevitably has some physical strength. After a while, her walking speed slowed down a little, especially when encountering In some places blocked by mountains and rocks, the child has short legs, so she had to jump up to get across, and even wobbled a few times before she stabilized herself.

Xiao Heng, who had been paying close attention to his sister's condition all the time, directly hugged Xiao Yansui again without saying a word, and while following the monk who led the way, he murmured a few words distressingly: "This place The mountain road is really difficult to walk, so I shouldn't have brought you a child here."

Xiao Yansui lay obediently in her brother's arms, and didn't say anything to let me go if I could go. The children in the top class of the kindergarten seem to be very energetic when they play, but compared to adults, they just can't do it. In particular, Xiao Heng is not that frail scholar who waits for a cold window to study hard.

Xiao Song has been worshiping the Prime Minister for several years and has been secretly complained about his incapacity to govern the country. He only cares about everything on weekdays, and he seems to have no insight. The Tubo was defeated, and the Tubo general Xin Nuoluo Gonglu was ruthlessly killed by Tubo Zanpu. Since then, the national power of Tubo has been weakening day by day...

Such a person said that he was careless. No matter whether Xuanzong and the court officials believed it or not, Xiao Yansui definitely didn't believe it anyway. At most, he turned a blind eye to everything.

However, no matter how much some officials in the court complained about Xiao Song's mediocre ability as a chancellor, it was just a display, and he could quarrel with a saint with a hot temper, but he could not surpass his military achievements. Seniors, Yunwen Yunwu, it's nothing to worry about.

Xiao Yansui was hugged by her brother, swaying all the way, almost falling asleep, the dilapidated Orion house finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Xiao Yansui raised her head and immediately cheered up.She patted her brother on the shoulder, "Brother, let me down."

Xiao Heng didn't say much, he just found a flat place and put his sister on the ground.

Xiao Yansui still trotted a few steps, catching up in front of the crowd, but when she got to the door of the house, she didn't go in, but blocked the path of others, and then waved to the back , "Bring something here!"

This time, even Xiao Heng got up a little confused, "Liu Niang?" He subconsciously asked in doubt.

Soon, a servant of the Xiao family walked over quickly carrying a small cloth bag.

Xiao Heng was slightly taken aback.Because Xiao Yansui insisted on following, on the way here, Mrs. Pei doubled the number of guards around him. Therefore, Xiao Heng didn't know that someone in this group of people had other things with them .

"Before I left, I asked someone to bring a bag of flour from home." Xiao Yansui said briskly.

——In the Tang Dynasty, where materials were scarce, various instruments, and chemical reagents were even scarcer, flour was a good thing. As long as the conditions were right, when killing people, she could single-handedly concoct a dust explosion explosion scene. When investigating cases, It is also the easiest item to obtain to make shoe prints appear.

The servant had already walked over and bowed slightly in front of Xiao Yansui.

Xiao Yansui whispered, "Shake a small amount of flour evenly into the room."

The servant immediately did as he was told.

Xiao Yansui took two steps back towards the outside of the door, and just stood at the door openly watching the movement inside.

Master Daojue, who was confused, and Gao Lishi, who had secretive eyes, also took a few steps forward, looking over Xiao Yansui's head into the room.

In Xiao Yansui's memory, shoe prints at the scene of the crime are relatively common evidence when the police handle cases in later generations, and the most common method to extract dusty shoe prints is the electrostatic adsorption method combined with some evidence similar to potassium ferricyanide. Chemical visualization methods such as potassium thiocyanate reagent visualization method and bromocresol blue reagent visualization method.

In modern times, the method of splashing flour to make shoe prints appear is obviously not enforceable. However, in ancient times when the means of solving crimes were relatively rare and criminal activities were not so technical, this method was quite effective.

In particular, the air on the mountain was already humid, and it had just rained the night before, so some traces left in the house were not washed away by the rain, but remained for a longer time.

Soon, the servant who was standing at the door splashing flour into the room stopped, turned around and nodded at Xiao Yansui.

Xiao Yansui stood at the same spot, looking at the footprints all over the ground revealed by the white flour, and of course the large marks left by her rolling on the ground in order to untie the rope, she couldn't help but smile slightly, as if there was still a hint of love in her childish voice. Some excitement, "Brother, come and see!"

Xiao Yansui's name was Xiao Heng, but Gao Lishi leaned forward, his gaze was slightly lowered, and he scanned the marks all over the ground. It was obvious that there were children in the shoe prints inside - this was Xiao Yansui , walked around the house—as if someone had checked something carefully, and there were some messy footprints, and they were heavier than others—perhaps they were left behind by the group of people who brought Xiao Yansui. next?

"Should someone be good at painting, right?" Xiao Yansui's voice was soft and soft, pure and innocent, but the meaning in the words was different, "First print all these footprints, and when you catch them After the villain, you can compare one or two."

Master Daojue's face was like a bitter melon, but his heart trembled slightly uncontrollably.

——This is not for the purpose of comparing one or two after catching the person, it is clearly hinting at him secretly, to find the person whose shoe print matches in Ximing Temple!

The Xiao family has always advanced and retreated in a certain way, even with the will of the sage to conduct a thorough investigation, and Gao Lishi personally went to investigate the case, the Xiao family never directly investigated the Ximing Temple in a grand manner, disturbing this quiet place, but the Xiao family's face If you don't check it, you have to check it yourself in the temple by Master Daojue, who is the abbot of Ximing Temple. Moreover, you have to check clearly and safely...

Of course, Master Daojue would not think that all of this was just the idea of ​​a five-year-old girl named Xiao Yansui. After all, those who brought and splashed the flour were all servants of the Xiao family. It was obvious that they were the head of the Xiao family. the meaning of.

Gao Lishi stood at the door, his face still calm and unhurried, and his expression didn't change at all. With a wave of his hand, someone had already stepped forward to rub the shoe prints that were especially clear after being sprinkled with flour.

After the person who was good at painting took several different shoe prints for comparison, Gao Lishi ordered lightly: "If you print out a few more copies, let Master Daojue prepare one too! There are distinguished guests here, and if such people with evil intentions are not caught, there will be no peace for a day."

Master Daojue's heart moved slightly, and he really came. He uttered the Buddha's name, and also promised Gao Lishi and the Xiao family, who represent saints: "I will definitely kill that—"

Master Daojue hadn't finished speaking, but was interrupted by several guards who hurried over.

"Three corpses were found in the forest below the mountain, all of them were killed with a single knife!"

Gao Lishi turned his head abruptly, and Master Daojue's face changed slightly.

Almost immediately, Xiao Heng's hand covered his sister's ears lightly, so as not to scare her, but Xiao Yansui grabbed her off with his little hand wrapped in a white steamed bun.

The little girl's voice was clear and lovely, but when it came out of nowhere, it was so crisp and shocking.

"Please compare the shoe prints just printed with those of the three victims!"
