13. Buddha is not in Yoshihara
Everyone looked at each other. According to legend, monsters have fixed routines to kill people.
For example, the Dog God uses demonic power to control the real thing, the Snow Girl freezes to death, and the Kappa and others should be using water to slap people.
Of course, there are also big monsters who do not follow the routine and do whatever they want, but the daughter of Ugly Time is obviously not listed here, so she can only pass on the harm of the curse "grass man".
To transmit damage, no lamp oil is required.
"It can only be artificial if you need lamp oil to help you burn."
Qin Ming set the character of the case. If he hadn't seen the lamp oil on the ground at first sight, he wouldn't have just started talking about it, and the warlocks of the martial arts world would not have taken any job.
"Who did it?"
The man behind the screen gives people a sense of weakness that his body has been hollowed out.
Seeing this, Matsuhei Rongbao did not care about his identity and immediately bowed to Qin Ming: "Mr. Abe, please help me solve my doubts. I will definitely bring him to justice for such a sinful person!"
Oh? It seems that the weak man has a higher status than he thought? Could it be a general?
Qin Ming was secretly happy. This was an unexpected gain. On the surface, he was still neither humble nor arrogant:
"Not only lamp oil, but also around the corpse, there is no flammable material nearby, just like it is moved specifically. Will monsters kill people and still worry about causing fire?"
"Fire!" Matsuhei Yoshiba exclaimed: "Creating a fire is a serious crime, and the murderer wants to avoid it!"
Edo houses are made of wooden, so they have particularly strict fire management regulations. The charges for fire are even greater than murder.
Everyone present expressed their opinions:
"Since you are afraid of causing a fire, why do you have to set fire?"
"Do you want us to not recognize the dead? But there are only a few people in Yinghuawu, and it is obvious that everyone is missing!"
"It is obviously not right to destroy the corpse and traces without releasing ignition!"
"Killing and setting fires are all serious crimes. If everyone is killed, are you still afraid of setting fires?"
After a little quiet, Qin Ming explained in an orderly manner:
"Start by removing the ignition material."
"The murderer did not want to reduce his crime, but was worried that there was a fire in Sakuraya."
"In other words, he is protecting Sakuraya."
"Protection?" Matsuhira Tomoba was puzzled: "Since it is protection, why do you choose to burn the body? And it takes time to pour the lamp oil over the dead and then move the combustible material away. Isn't it easier to be discovered after a long time?"
Qin Ming pointed to the half-burned straw man in Longma's hand: "This is the reason why the murderer had to burn the body."
"He wants to blame the courtesan Rimu? Younu knew that Rimu had such a straw man, and others might know that after knowing all this, he wanted to kill Sojiro according to the wounds of the straw man, and then push everything to the daughter of the ugly time. In this way, it became a unsolved case."
Matsuhira Tomobashi is quite skillful and most of the accumulated unsolved cases are similar "monsters". I don't know how many culprits have been let go.
Qin Ming raised his eyebrows: "It is better to say "help" than to say it is a slander. This person thought that since there is no daughter of ugly times in the world, he would become an ugly woman, and replicate everything in the grass man on Sojiro to help Rimu take revenge on Sojiro."
He looked at everyone and said in a long voice:
"Don't you plan to come out on your own initiative? Only a large amount of lamp oil can be taken out from the warehouse, and you have to pass through the courtyard from the house to the warehouse. I think you don't have time to deal with footprints, right?"
"Okay, that's right, it's me who adds fuel to the fire."
Kiyoji walked out of the crowd and chuckled, "It's just that this Onmyoji has too many mistakes."
"When I found Sojiro, he was already in the fire. I thought of the daughter of the ugly moment, but the fire was almost extinguished at that time, so I went to get the lamp oil and pour it on it, and then moved the flammable material away to prevent the fire."
Longma looked at Qingji in a daze: "Qingji, you won't..."
"Yes, I like Himu." Kiyoji nodded naturally: "The reason for me to do this is very simple. I like Himu, and I love her."
"But I know very well that she loves Sojiro, so when Sojiro said she wanted to marry Himu, I even wish Himu for a blessing, which was a good destination."
"But what I never expected was that after Rimu got syphilis, Sojiro not only did not mention any words about marriage, but also didn't even see Rimu. Even if he was unwilling to speak through the door, he let Rimu down, he deserved to die!"
"It's great, so you want to help Himu take revenge on Sojiro, so you break Sojiro's bones according to the injuries on the grass man's body, beat him to death, and burn the body to vent your anger." Matsuhei Etsuosaki retreated a little to prevent Kiyoji from suddenly rising. The samurai who could break the ribs was not mediocre. At the same time, his eyes signaled several guards in Sakuraya to find an opportunity to arrest Kiyoji.
"No! The daughter of Ugly Time has killed Sojiro for Himu. I just poured lamp oil on the burning corpse and moved away the flammable material."
Qingci shook his head repeatedly.
Qin Ming expressed his understanding that Qingci was talking about the facts, but this fact cannot become a fact.
He began to talk nonsense: "The straw man was just burned, and Sojiro was burned, which was much more serious. Since you admitted that you had poured lamp oil, it seems that you have a lot of resentment towards Sojiro. Not only did you resent him for abandoning Rimu, but you also resent him for snatching Rimu away."
The words attracted everyone's approval. Look, the motivation is very full!
Beat to death first and then burn it, how cruel the means!
Moreover, the degree of burning of the corpse is indeed more serious than that of the only burnt grass man.
"No, I don't have time to beat Sojiro again. Although I was alone in the room, the cleaning boy saw me leaving and met him when he came back. This period was very short, and it was only enough for me to go to the warehouse to get the lamp oil!"
Kiyoji kept defending himself, and he seemed to be justified because that was the case.
"Go and bring that little boy." Matsuhira Tomosaki frowned. If it was as Kiyoji said, this time it was the daughter of the Ugly Time who joined forces with Kiyoji to cause Sojiro's tragic death. If it was spread, it would be easier to cause a sensation than ordinary monsters.
This is not good! He looked at the screen intentionally or unintentionally, feeling full of worry.
Soon, the little boy came, just like what Qingji said. The little boy also believed that such a short time was not enough for Qingji to go through the yard to get the lamp oil after beating someone to death.
Qin Ming was slightly surprised, but he didn't expect there was a witness!
But there is no big problem.
Induced questions are essential skills for charlatans.
He asked the boy who looked only six or seven years old with a serious look:
"How long do you think it took Qingji back and forth?"
"About...a quarter of an hour."
"Are you sure? This matter is very important. I'll give you another chance and think about it."
"I think... it's a quarter of an hour."
"Do you want to think about it carefully? If you are threatened by Kiyoji, just say it out loud, Lord Matsuhira and I will make the decision for you."
"I...."
After repeated repeated, Qin Ming began a new round of inquiries.
Are you with Luckwoo before you saw the shooting?”
"The place you cleaned is very close to Kiyoji's house?"
"In or outside the house?"
"In a quarter of an hour, you should be able to hear the Buddha's whine more, right?"
“What time is it?”
"Can you see the expression of Qingji's back and forth?"
"Is his clothes messy?"
After a series of inquiries, the child's testimony was locked step by step. "When I was cleaning the inner room, I saw Qiji go back and forth with my own eyes. When he came back, he looked hurried, but his clothes were neat and there was no trace of fighting with others. It was the first time of ugly moments, and it was judged by the Buddha's beating."
Then, Qin Ming smiled and said, "The Buddha is not in Yoshihara."
