"That vest is made of a piece of fabric on the front chest, a piece of fabric on the back, and a small cloth strap in the middle." Before the coroner could speak, Shen Mo replied in favor of the two of them.

"If you look closely, you will find that among the four corpses present, there were three corpses wearing such strange cloth straps and vests, only Monia's clothes were not underneath!"

"What the hell is this?" County Magistrate Lu waved his hand and asked the two coroners to open the remaining two coffins to check whether there were such strange vests and cloth straps under their clothes.

He was still wonderingly asking Shen Mo: "How do you know they would wear such clothes?"

Why did Shen Mo hear County Magistrate Lu ask him this? So he slowly replied:

"From the first day, when we were investigating the case in Dashifang, I heard Hu Shang Apu keep muttering "Ahura is on," I knew that their group of Hu Shangs are all believers of Zoroastrianism.

"Zoroastrianism?" County Magistrate Lu repeated in confusion, obviously not knowing what Shen Mo was talking about.

"It is a kind of big food religion that is similar to the Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism... Shen Mo explained to the Magistrate Lu: "This is an ancient religion that is widely circulated in the Dashi area. It was introduced to our country during the Tang Dynasty.

At that time in Chang'an, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also allowed them to build their own temple, called "Dayun Guangming Temple". These strange clothes were worn by Zoroastrian believers.

When Shen Mo said this, he turned around. At this time, the two coroners had opened all four coffins and inspected their clothes one by one.

County Magistrate Lu and Shen Mo didn't need their answers. They just knew that Shen Mo was right this time!

Sure enough, among the four dead, there was only Monia's body, not wearing that weird vest!

"If you disassemble that long and wide strap, you will find that it was made of 72 wool threads. It wrapped three times around their waists." Shen Mo continued.

"The Zoroastrian believers call this belt "the holy belt". The seventy-two wool threads represent the seventy-two chapters of their religious classic "Avisdo Jesna". Three circles around their waists indicate good thoughts, good words and good deeds."

"There is also that weird vest. They are called "Holy Robe". The two pieces in front and back symbolize the past and the future." Shen Mo held the iron ruler in his hand and said slowly word by word:

"These two things, in Zoroastrian families, will be tied to their children from birth, and they will not be taken off for life. Even if they die, they will not do it!"

"It turns out that it was because of this that you found out that he was not Monia!...Ah?...Not right!" When County Magistrate Lu said this, he suddenly woke up and found that he was wrong!

"The second corpse you are going to test points directly to Monia. This means that before you see that he does not have the holy robe or sundae, you knew that he was not Monia himself!"

"Mr. The county master is wise!" Shen Mo smiled and said to Magistrate Lu.

"The reason I chose him for inspection was for a very obvious reason." Shen Mo said to County Magistrate Lu with a smile: "On the night of the incident, Hu Shang Apu discovered Alan's body for the first time and turned around and ran towards their room."

"At that time, just as he was standing in the yard hesitating and hesitating not to enter, someone came out towards him."

"This person is Monia!" County Magistrate Lu's eyes were rounded, and he said in surprise: "It turns out that it is just based on this point that you are sure that Monia is not actually dead?"

"Of course, this is actually the most critical clue in the entire case." Shen Mo nodded and said to County Magistrate Lu: "The timing of his appearance was too coincidental and could not be explained by coincidence."

"Not only that, but he walked out of the room and met Apu, which directly led to another result." Shen Mo continued:

"It was Apu who did not walk back to the hall where they feasted, but took Monia and walked out of the courtyard again!"

When Shen Mo said this, he pointed to the coffin of "Fake Monia" with the iron ruler in his hand: "If we assume Monia is the criminal in this case, then why did he stop Apu and not let him in at that time?"

"Because at this time...ah!" When County Magistrate Lu said this, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice!

"Because at that time, all Hu Shangs had died and there were no living people in the house!" In an instant, County Magistrate Lu felt that the hairs on his body were standing up one by one!

In his mind, the scene of the murder night appeared.

In the fine rain, under the dim sky, Ap stood in the empty courtyard. Then, as the door in front of him opened, Monia, smiling, walked out of the hall.

At that time, behind Monia, in the room full of wine and dishes, there was actually no living person, but a corpse in the room!

"My God, so that's how it is!" County Magistrate Lu's body shook for a moment, and he said with a pale face: "It turns out that this Monia is also one of the criminals!"

"But he was not dead. The body in the coffin was not him. So who was he?" County Magistrate Lu suddenly woke up and asked Shen Mo loudly.

"So I'm going to come for a autopsy today," Shen Mo smiled and knocked on Monia's coffin: "Since this body must not Monia, I'm also very interested in knowing who he is."

"Next, Shen Mo waved his hand and asked the two coroners to carry Molia's body to the yard outside. He uncovered his clothes in the midday sun and did a careful inspection on his body. No details were left out.

Then, he and the Magistrate Lu stood in the corridor together and watched the two re-examinations, waiting for the final result.

This time, the two coroners did not dare to neglect at all. They carried the corpse to the sun, carefully untied their clothes bit by bit. Then they turned over the naked corpse all over their bodies and checked them carefully.

These two people already knew that this time under Shen Mo's nose, if they dared to be lazy or perfunctory, they would be pointed out by this young captain with a fierce eyes!

"According to Hu Shang Apu's confession, when he first saw Alan's body and was running back, he stood in the yard and clearly heard the sounds of Hu Shang drinking and laughing in the room. How could you say that they were all dead at that time?"
