Chapter 364 The old road under the cliff
"Is it her money that I'm interested in? What I'm interested in is her people!" The security captain weighed it again and again, and finally lowered his 'noble' head in the face of reality.
The happiest person was of course Zhang Xiaolian. After she personally went over and agreed with the security captain on the next meeting time, she drove her big G and left with satisfaction.
Lin Jinghao looked at the direction in which Big G was going, and then looked back at the security captain. The security captain was looking at him, smiling gratefully: "Thank you, Director Lin."
"It's okay, you'll be on your own from now on." When passing by the security captain, Lin Jinghao suddenly stopped and whispered in the captain's ear: "Captain, although money is very important to men,
But when it’s time to be tough, you still have to be tough, and don’t lose your dignity too much.”
The security captain seemed to be suddenly awakened. He nodded vigorously: "Director Lin, you are right, I will remember it."
After returning to his room, Lin Jinghao threw himself on the sofa. When he saw Big G just now, he couldn't help but think of Jushi Zhang again.
'How many things has this old fox done to free his son from his bondage? Maybe Zhang Yang is right. Since he has prepared a scapegoat, how could he not send someone to watch him? The person who is watching Zhang Yang's scapegoat is
The real insider might be the murderer himself!'
Thinking about it again, when I and Shan Hong went there, there were three hermit huts in total. Except for the pair of Taoist masters and apprentices, the other two rooms were closed and no one was seen. Later, the police came again
When the case was investigated, all the hermits in the three huts simply disappeared.
On the surface, it seems that they are all afraid of being disturbed again; it may also be that there is a taboo next to a cave with a dead person, which is unlucky. In fact, there is another possibility, because one of them killed someone and felt uneasy.
Then the position was changed...
After thinking about it, Lin Jinghao actually fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, it was already dark. He didn't eat anything during this sleep, and he felt a little hungry.
"Why haven't you eaten yet?" Suddenly a voice rang in the room, and Lin Jinghao was startled.
When he turned around, he realized that there was an old Taoist in the room, and he had seen this old Taoist before. He was the hermit in the mountains.
"Taoist Priest, I was looking for you, but it turns out you came down the mountain!"
"When you went up the mountain that day, I knew you were not ordinary people. Sure enough, you were a policeman."
"Yes, since you now know that I am a policeman, you must have some news to tell me? Do you know who the murderer of Chen Wei is?"
"Of course I know who the murderer is? He is...he is..." The old man's figure suddenly began to flash, as if he had been shocked by electricity, and his words became inaudible.
"Taoist Master," Lin Jinghao shouted loudly. He stretched out his hand, trying to hold his increasingly blurry figure.
"He is me..." The figure of the Taoist priest suddenly disappeared as if the TV was turned off!
‘Are you hallucinating again?’ Lin Jinghao was completely awake, his hands stretched into the air, but there was no one in front of him!
‘What did he just say? He said he was the murderer! Did he come to me to confess?’ Lin Jinghao shook his head vigorously.
‘It should be that I have been replying
Thinking about the development of the case, it is an hallucination in the brain, right? However, if the Taoist priest is really the murderer, then whatever he says to them one day must be a lie. Maybe the hermit that Jushi Zhang really supports is
They are masters and disciples!'
I got up to find some instant noodles, only to find that the box was empty. However, there was a pink note stuck to the bottom of the box, which said: There is another box hidden under the bed.
Lin Jinghao was stunned. He suddenly realized that during this period, he had not eaten at home for a long time due to avoidance and imprisonment. The font on the note clearly belonged to Xia Bing. It turned out that 'as long as there is someone
If you walk by, you will definitely leave traces...'
After making a bowl of noodles, eating, and resting for a while, Lin Jinghao finally went to bed and had a good sleep. This time, the Taoist priest never appeared in front of his eyes.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, the cell phone rang next to the pillow, and the caller ID was Big Tree: "In the forest, some mountain people went up the mountain early in the morning and called the police saying that a body was found under the cliff. Now we
I’m getting ready to go into the mountains, do you want to pick you up together?”
"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs in five minutes." Upon hearing that another murder had occurred, Lin Jinghao's nerves became tense unconsciously.
'Isn't he the old Taoist I saw last night?'
Five minutes later, Lin Jinghao got into Dashu's police car downstairs, and the group drove straight into the mountains.
"Where exactly is it?" Sitting in the car were the arresting team consisting of Da Shu, Da Da Da Li and Xiao Zhang.
"The person who called the police said it was under the Immortal Peak."
"Eternal Peak?" The figure of the old Taoist appeared in front of Lin Jinghao again.
"Yes, it's the same mountain peak where we found the deceased in the manor last time." Dashu added.
Lin Jinghao frowned again, 'Could it be that what he saw yesterday was the soul of Lao Dao? But why did he disappear before he finished speaking? He wanted to tell himself who killed Chen Wei? And this person
And killed himself at the same time?'
"Lin, do you think this case is related to the deceased who was buried in the manor?" Dashu has now begun to understand Lin Jinghao's case handling style.
"It's hard to say. Did the person who called the police say what kind of person the deceased was?"
"It's a man, wearing a Taoist uniform. He looks to be in his fifties. He should have fallen from the cliff." This time it was Xiao Zhang who spoke. He had already followed Dashu and was responsible for the arrest.
.
"Dashu, have I ever told you that not far from the cave where Chen Wei died, there are three hermit huts. In one of them, a pair of Taoist masters and disciples lived." Lin Jinghao no longer remembered whether he had
I told Dashu and the others.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right? Lin Suo, you don't suspect that Zeng Yi went into the mountain to kill Taoist Priest and the others in order to silence him, right?" In Dashu's mind, Zeng Yi is still the biggest suspect.
"You can't say that... I think the murderer may be someone else. Maybe he just slipped and fell off the cliff?" Lin Jinghao was a little confused now. There were some things that he couldn't say directly. After he said it, they
He will be treated as a 'god'.
"Yes, maybe he fell down by himself? I heard that these Taoist priests have the habit of climbing to the cliffs to pick herbs and camellias?" Xiao Zhang was driving attentively, following what the mountain residents reported to the police.
Location, he already found himself a little bit lost.
"Turn left ahead." At a fork in the road, Xiao Zhang stopped, and Lin Jinghao quickly reminded him from behind.
Xiao Zhang followed his words and turned to the left, and the mountain road in front of him suddenly became narrower: "Lin Suo, when did you become so familiar with the mountain road?"
"Drive carefully." Lin Jinghao has been soaking in the mountains these past few days, so he is certainly more familiar with the roads than them. Based on his memory, this road should lead to the Everlasting Peak.
The police car advanced slowly on the mountain road. According to the mountain people, he would be waiting for them on the roadside not far ahead.
Ten minutes later, they finally saw a waving mountain man on the side of the road. As soon as he saw the police car, he ran over.
"Did you call the police?" As soon as the car stopped, Dashu stuck his head out of the car window and asked.
"I called the police. He was right in front. His brains were knocked out. He died miserably." Judging from the age of the mountain man, he seemed to be in his thirties. He had dark skin and wore a straw hat to protect him from the sun.
, looking anxious.
"Come on, get in the car and take us there." Dashu waved to him.
"Officer, cars can't pass under the cliff. You have to walk over it." The mountain people glanced at the police car in embarrassment. For them, two legs were their means of transportation.
"How far is it to walk there?" As soon as he heard that he was going to walk there, Dashu frowned.
"It's not that far, only twenty minutes." The mountain man said, pointing to the path ahead.
"Lin Suo," Dashu was about to turn around to ask Lin Jinghao for his opinion. When he turned around, he was no longer in the back seat.
"What are you still talking about? Big tree, why don't you get down and walk." It turned out that Lin Jinghao was already standing outside the police car.
"Here we come," Dashu curled his lips helplessly at the other two people. How could he not know how difficult the mountain road was?
Sure enough, the four people walked for a full hour and a half on the twenty-minute journey that the mountain people said. The big tree was already out of breath and kept raising its hands to wipe sweat.
"Isn't it here yet? Didn't you say twenty minutes?" Dashu has been completely left behind by several people. He can hardly lift his feet now.
"It's twenty minutes. I usually come here at this time, but you... are too slow." The mountain man looked back and shook his head in disdain. This caused a huge blow to the big tree.
Red face.
"Dashu, if we don't talk about you in the forest, I have to talk about you. You lack endurance too much. After working the night shift in the evening, you still have to do some 'morning exercise' with your sister-in-law when you go back in the morning. Look, your legs are weak now.
Are you done?" The one who spoke was Da Da Li. He and Da Shu were both old-timers in the institute. When talking, they just liked to make fun of each other.
"Shut up, I'm not home yet? Why do you do some early exercise?" Sometimes making harmless jokes can actually improve everyone's spirits.
"Officer Shu, what you mean is that you usually do 'morning exercise'." Xiao Zhang was also tired from walking. He took advantage of the time to stop and rest and also joined in the teasing of the big tree.
"Xiao Zhang, you are a bad boy. How old are you this year? Have your hair grown all the way? How dare you make fun of my big tree? Let me tell you, when I was your age, I..." The big tree was about to brag.
