Chapter 994 Wrong Target

The fight didn't last long. Regardless of the dozens of rounds, both of them were very fast and didn't actually take much time.

Yang Yiyi actually wanted to chase him, and with her Qinggong skills, she was indeed able to chase him. However, as soon as she raised her foot, she remembered that Li Chengqi had told her not to chase after the enemy, so she didn't chase him.

In the fight just now, Yang Yiyi consumed almost one-third of her internal energy, and the injuries from the slap were not completely healed, so she needed to sit down and adjust her breathing.

What's more, Yang Yiyi was keenly aware that the man seemed to be hiding something.

It's not that the other party is showing mercy, it's more like he doesn't want Yang Yiyi to see his way. Once he catches up, Yang Yiyi won't be sure if he goes all out.

Let's leave this matter to the monks at Jingci Temple.

So Yang Yiyi put away the mace, but when she looked up, there was no monk there.

The clearance was nothing more than a nonsense shout, and the footsteps were those of the children jumping around behind the tree, creating the illusion that someone was coming.

"Sister Yang, are you okay?"

This little monk Jingkong is really clever, he actually used this trick to scare people away.

Yang Yiyi waved her hand to show that it was okay, and was about to speak when she felt Yu Gui in her arms shake.

So she immediately changed her words and said:

"I need some time to adjust my breathing. Can you help me keep an eye on it? The thief might come back to kill me."

"Of course, don't worry and leave it to us."

Yang Yiyi was sitting under a tree, and several children were scanning nearby with wide eyes, for fear that the man would come back to kill him.

After confirming that no one could hear, Yang Yiyi took out Yugui:

"Brother Li, I was beaten just now..."

The person who said this seemed to be a child complaining to his parents.

Li Chengqi also saw the changes in the health and blue bars on Yang Yiyi's character panel and asked:

"Who is it?"

But Li Chengqi didn't see who it was. He sent O'Pain away and they had just chatted with Aldai. When he turned around, he saw Yang Yiyi who looked like she had just done something with someone.

"A man in black with his head hidden. I think he might be from Anxiang Pavilion."

"Please tell me in detail."

Yang Yiyi then whispered to Li Chengqi everything about what had just happened.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, he said:

"That may not be someone from Anxiang Pavilion, maybe he is the murderer of Xuan Ku."

"Why?"

"If you are from Anxiang Pavilion, there is no need to hide your clumsiness in case you find out."

Only then did Yang Yiyi suddenly realize.

From the very beginning, Li Chengqi suspected that someone from Jingci Temple had killed Xuan Ku. Yang Yiyi was still hiding behind the attack, obviously because she was afraid that Yang Yiyi would see the Kung Fu skills of Jingci Temple.

It is estimated that when Yang Yiyi relayed Li Chengqi's words before, the murderer felt that leaving Yang Yiyi behind might be a future trouble. He was afraid that she would find out about him, so he came to silence him.

But Li Chengqi then thought again, it was not right to silence Yang Yiyi.

The most important reason is how that person locked Yang Yiyi's position?

Yang Yiyi has been with the princess for a long time, and there are a lot of imperial guards around the princess. The murderer must not be stubborn.

And Yang Yiyi came secretly to the back mountain this time. If the murderer wanted to kill Yang Yiyi, he would have to keep an eye on the princess's private courtyard at all times. When he saw Yang Yiyi coming out alone, he would quickly follow her.

This is too suspicious. If you really do this, you will definitely be discovered by the Ouchi guards.

So, how did the murderer chase him to the back of the mountain?

Li Chengqi thought about it carefully and figured it was because of the secret room.

As mentioned before, the scene was a secret room. This incident was probably beyond the murderer's expectation. It was even possible that Jingkong came in after the murderer left and locked the door, so the murderer did not force his way in and take away the teapot and teacup. When the body was discovered the next day, he took the opportunity to take away the things.

After all, the windows in Xuanku's Zen room are locked. Once the door is locked, it's not difficult to break through, but the noise is loud in the middle of the night.

If the murderer guessed it, who would lock the door...

The target is these children, or in other words, the murderer's target should be Jingkong, because he is afraid that he will see some evidence against him in the meditation room!

That makes sense.

Jingkong and the others will be in the back mountain, mainly because the abbot once quietly taught them martial arts here. Once or twice is okay. After a long time, it is impossible for no one in the temple to notice.

The murderer probably knew about it. He took advantage of the fact that no one noticed him after being interrogated in the morning, and then came to the back mountain to kill him. He just happened to bump into Yang Yiyi.

So, can the teapot clue provided by Jingkong be used as a clue to find the murderer?

This can only be said to be possible, but it is not conclusive proof.

There are many monks in Jingci Temple who like to drink tea, even if it is limited to monks of the Xuan generation.

As for Jingkong, he said that the tea bowl looked expensive. It might have been a gift from a pilgrim, or he might have found it himself.

If it is the former, there are still traces to be traced, but if it is the latter, people have already taken away the teapot and teacup, found a place where no one was around, dropped it, and buried the pieces. Even if they have the space to correct them in the temple, I am afraid it will not work. Can't find anything useful.

Li Chengqi tapped his temple and asked again:

"Tell me more about what happened with that person just now, in more detail."

Yang Yiyi thought that Li Chengqi wanted to see that person's martial arts skills and maybe be able to tell who it was, so he not only spoke, but also stood up and made a few gestures.

However, what Li Chengqi wants to see is not the numbers, but the details and process.

"You said he once went to the clearing?"

"Yes, is there anything worth noting?"

Li Chengxi pondered for a moment:

"Take these children back to the princess's room first, and say that they are key witnesses, and protect them here."

No matter whether the clues are useful or not, protect the people first, otherwise the other party will definitely find another opportunity to attack.

"As for the murderer... Although there is no evidence yet, I have some clues."

When considering things, you can't start from one aspect. This is not like playing a game with chapters.

You have to combine them and consider them comprehensively.

If you connect all the information you know now, what is the most inexplicable?

It is Jingkong.

It's not that there is anything wrong with this child, but that the people in the temple have a problem with their attitude towards Jingkong.

Jingkong is an orphan adopted by Jingci Temple. He lives here as a lay disciple, learns some martial arts, and can go down the mountain to make a living in the future.

This is normal in itself. Jingci Temple has raised many people in this way.

But Jingkong is not a quiet child.

He ate wild chickens and rabbits every day and ran around the temple. Although the Discipline Court was in charge, you could tell from Jingkong's attitude that he didn't care at all.

Xuannan, who was in charge of the Discipline Court, didn't seem like a person who could tolerate any sand in his eyes. You could tell from his violent temper that Jingkong was beaten three times a day by him.

What's the truth?

Jingkong was not hung up and beaten by the Discipline Court at all.

This shows that someone was protecting Jingkong and talked to Xuannan, and he took care of it.

And the only person who could force Xuannan to tolerate sand was probably the abbot.

Continuing to push it down, why did the abbot treat Jingkong so well?

He secretly came here to teach Jingkong and several children martial arts on weekdays, and the deceased Xuanku also secretly taught Jingkong martial arts. This has gone beyond the scope of seeing that this child has good qualifications.

Combined with the fact that the host suddenly severed his own tendons and died, and that Xuan Bei once put a letter with a bloody handprint in his arms and has not yet made it public...

"After sending these children to the princess, take people and go find Xuan Bei. This old guy must know something."
