My historical mission 1

Because it was very close to the government office, it was only a short walk away. I entered Magistrate Song Tong's office and bowed.

I looked at Song Tongpan with confusion on my face and asked, I wonder why Mr. Song asked the grassroots to come? Song Tongpan said,"Has Xiaobei heard about what happened in the city recently?" I replied,"Sir, I heard about it. I heard that several half-year-olds were lost." Song Tongpan said, yes, twelve boys aged ten to thirteen have been missing in the city in the past month. The police have been searching, but they have not found any clues. Until yesterday, another ten-year-old boy disappeared.. The boy's family said that the boy just went to the back street to make soy sauce and then disappeared. The police found a handkerchief thrown on the roadside on that street, which should be able to find some clues.

The clerk in the government office checked the veil and said that there must be some drug on it, but he couldn't tell what it was. I remembered that Mr. Gao was knocked unconscious by you using poison. Ning Xiucai also said before that it was because you were very proficient in pharmacology, so I asked you to come and see if you can find any clues. I told Song Tongpan that proficiency does not count. If he can help, I will do my best.

I took the handkerchief that the detective brought to me on a tray, rubbed it in my hands, looked at it from the front, and put it under my nose to smell it. I took a look at it and saw that this veil was made of silk. Although it didn't look anything special, it wasn't something ordinary people would use. Why did such a small square veil cost thirty cents? Also, there are some oil stains on it. Did the lost child eat something very oily before going out? That's why the oil stains were left on his mouth. It should have been left when someone covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief..

After I finished speaking, I smelled it carefully. The recipe for the intoxicating drug in this noodle was still very special. The reason why Zuo Zuo couldn't smell it was because he was not a Jianghu person. Most of this kind of intoxicating drug was used by Jianghu people. But in addition to the smell of drugs, there is also a sandalwood scent, which is very special. It should be an incense specially customized by some Buddhist temples.

Song Tongpan looked delighted. Can Xiaobei smell the smell of sandalwood? I replied, Mr. Song, I have had a good nose since I was a child, and I am very sensitive to the smell of many spices. So if Xiaobei smells this smell again, can he still distinguish it? Song Tongpan asked.

Yes, I answered. Magistrate Song Tong asked me, Xiaobei, if I could help the government find out where the sandalwood came from. If I could find it, I would be rewarded heavily. Of course, I am willing to help the government find those children as quickly as possible. However, I have not been in Yingtianfu for a long time. I am not sure how many temples and Taoist temples there are near Yingtianfu. I still need a local to lead the way.

Song Tongpan said, let's see, Ma Batou is a native of Yingtian Mansion. He is very good at martial arts and can protect Xiaobei along the way. After saying this, he sent someone to tell Ma Batou to come in. When I saw it was someone else, he was the one who had just The tall and strong brother I brought. Judge Song Tong introduced to me that this is Ma Baotou and his name is Ma Yong. Ma Baotou and this is Zhao Xiaobei. You and he go to the temple and Taoist temple near Yingtian Mansion to find the source of the square veil. Take care of Xiaobei along the way. Now it's all up to his nose to find clues to solve the case. Ma Yong cupped his fists and saluted, and his subordinates obeyed his orders....

Captain Ma took me away from the government office. Captain Ma said to me, Xiaobei, we have to hurry up. There are hundreds of large and small temples and Taoist temples near Yingtianfu. There are so many, I was shocked when I heard the numbers. When can I find each one of them? Oh, by the way, I can smell the sandalwood fragrance on the square handkerchief. And if the kidnapper is there, If a person really comes from a Taoist temple, it will definitely not be a temple with a lot of incense. A place that can use such special incense should be a place where the time is long, there are not many pilgrims, the environment is deep, and there are not many people in the temple.

When Captain Ma heard what I said, he thought it made sense and said, yes, there are so many people and it’s difficult to see in a temple in a busy area. The missing children are quite old, so forget about being knocked out. He won't struggle, but he will be seen carrying or carrying such a big person many times. Until now, no one has come forward to provide clues as to what kind of place it should be in a sparsely populated place.

Catcher Ma quickly thought about it and said, if these conditions are met, there won't be many. There are only five or six places left outside the city, and four inside the city. I thought about it and said that most people lost it at night. If it was too late, the city gate would have been closed. It would be very troublesome and risky to get out of the city gate. If there is not another hiding place in the city, then this temple is inside the city.

Captain Ma said that there are Shengquan Temple, Baiyun Temple, Yuhuang Temple, and Shengshou Temple in the city. These temples meet the conditions you mentioned.

Then let's look for each place one by one. Brother Ma will see where to go first. Captain Ma said that Shengquan Temple is the closest.

We walked two streets away, and Captain Ma told me that my home was in front of Xiaobei. I should go back and change into regular clothes. I said okay, I'll wait for you at the tea shop across the street. I sat down at the tea shop and ordered a big bowl of tea. When I drank most of it, Ma quickly came out. The horse hunter quickly told me, Xiaobei, let’s start with Yun Shengquan Temple, which is the closest to us, just a few blocks away.

After walking towards Beicheng for a while, we arrived at a relatively remote street. There were not many shops here, they were all residential buildings. There was a courtyard door in the alley that was open. On a sign, it said Shengquan Temple. It was ten in the morning. It was around 1:00, and although the temple door was open, there were no pilgrims or believers. It looked like what Ma said, the incense was really not strong. When I walked into the door, I saw a stall selling incense and candles. It was sold by a monk. Even though there were no people around, the monks still knew how to do the business. I stepped forward and bought a bundle of fresh incense, and walked in with Captain Ma. As I walked, I put the incense under my nose and smelled it, then shook my head at Captain Ma.
