Chapter 997 Wait for him to jump out

We often say that you can't do things well if you don't talk well. It seems that the older people are, the more mature and prudent they are.

This is true or not. As people age, due to hormone secretion and other reasons, older people are indeed more stable than younger people.

But an important reason for this is experience, and another important reason for experience is living environment.

A child from a wealthy family and a child from a poor family have completely different attitudes towards life. The difference is so great that it would make outsiders surprised that they live in the same world.

Wu Shaoyi has had leg problems since she was a child. These legs have made her life very inconvenient, but they have also given her a strong will and an optimistic and positive attitude towards life.

There is a feeling that those things that cannot defeat me will only make me stronger.

In contrast, Yang Yiyi is a person who has never experienced any real setbacks. Once she encounters something that goes against her own three views, she will start to get into trouble. This kind of situation is invisible to Wu Shaoyi.

Master Xuanbei has stayed in the temple all his life and has read Buddhist scriptures thousands of times. After all, it is not as good as actually experiencing it once.

But when it came to Xuanbei, he immediately said:

"The poor monk has told you everything he knows. The two heroines are very smart and think they must have a way to find the murderer."

Yes, Ba Ba has been talking for a long time, but he still has no idea who the murderer is.

Now the motive is clear and the suspects are identified, but there are no clues and no evidence.

What should we do?

Xuanbei looked at the two of them, while Wu Shaoyi simply looked at Yang Yiyi, Yang Yiyi...

She panicked.

"Excuse me for being rude, I'm going to go to the hut."

"..."

No, this is serious business. What's wrong with you?

Yang Yiyi said and ran out in a swish. Wu Shaoyi knew that she must be looking for foreign aid, so she quickly said some miscellaneous words of respect.

After all, Li Chengqi couldn't predict the future. He just told Wu Shaoyi and Yang Yiyi what he wanted to ask and Xuan Bei's possible response. Before that, it was impossible to know that there were so many hidden secrets. What to do next, naturally Yang Yiyi came out and asked again.

Xuanbei was still wondering whether Yang Yiyi's problem of running to the toilet when she was nervous was psychological or physical. At this time, Yang Yiyi came back again.

The speed was so fast, it didn’t even look like he went to the latrine. He must have found a deserted place in the corner...

Not to not to not to.

But when she came back, Yang Yiyi had a very confident expression on her face, and she should be confident.

Wu Shaoyi knew at a glance that the matter was settled.

After all, Buddha and Bodhisattvas have never been seen in real life, but immortals are real.

"Master Xuanbei, since we can't identify the murderer now, let's let the murderer jump out on his own."

"How to do it? Do you want to use the clear space as bait? This is absolutely not allowed. If something goes wrong..."

Except for Jingkong, no one in the temple was related to the host's affairs. The only target of revenge for the murderer was Jingkong. In addition, Yang Yiyi said that the murderer should jump out on his own initiative, so Xuanbei immediately objected.

"No, besides Jingkong, there is another person."

Xuanbei reacted immediately:

"Is that Zhang Hanlai?"

"Of course."

Xuanbei lowered his head and said nothing, Yang Yiyi continued:

"That Zhang Hanlai obviously has great malice towards Jingci Temple. Judging from his age, he may be a survivor of the massacre of people by the master when he was an officer. Master Xuanbei, you have tried your best to protect him, so you must have guessed it."

When Zhang Hanlai made trouble yesterday, the monks at Jingci Temple were very angry. After all, the master who presided over the temple had just died, and no one could bear it if there was someone here who was clamoring for death.

However, Xuanbei suppressed everyone at that time and asked Zhang Han to leave on his own.

When Master Xuannan's body was discovered today, Xuanbei also intentionally or unintentionally pushed him away.

"The poor monk is just... If the presiding brother is still there, he should be like the poor monk and protect the donor Zhang."

What Xuan Bei said was that he was obviously still a little undecided.

But at this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and a large inner guard appeared at the door.

Yang Yiyi saw this, listened to the guard whisper a few words, and then turned back.

"Master Xuanbei, when Master Xuannan was killed, there was a tea set in the room, but when he entered the Zen room in the morning, the tea set was missing. Do you know this?"

"This... the poor monk didn't pay attention at that time. There were many people at that time, maybe..."

"Yes, the tea set was brought by the murderer. He also took it away in the morning during the chaos. Not long ago, I asked Princess Mingzhu's guards for help. I found traces of excavation near the mountain behind Jingci Temple and found fragments of the tea set."

Yang Yiyi continued:

"I know that you don't want to use innocent people as bait. It would be great if you can find the murderer with just the tea set, but I don't think the possibility is high. If not..."

Master Xuanbei sighed:

"In that case, I'll leave it to the two heroines."

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The abbot had just died, and Master Xuannan was gone. The news quickly spread in the already small Jingci Temple, and all kinds of rumors spread.

But soon there were rumors that the murderer had drugged Master Xuannan, and the tool used for the drug was a set of tea utensils. Now that the fragments of the tea utensils have been found, I hope you can identify them and confirm who they belong to.

The monks are not willing to believe that the murderer is among themselves, but naturally the sooner the murderer is found out, the better. Since the evidence is all out, let's go and take a look.

As expected, after some identification, the owner of the tea set could not be found, and everyone said they had never seen such a piece of tea set.

The guards sent to the foot of the mountain to investigate did bring back some news, saying that the tea set was sold by a teahouse in the town, but the owner of the teahouse could not tell who bought it, so it should be bought by someone else.

This line was basically broken at this point, and many monks in Jingci Temple felt very disappointed.

Princess Mingzhu deliberately stood up and said that the matter had been handed over to the government, and it seemed to strengthen the persuasiveness. Immediately, several constables went up the mountain to investigate.

The latest news is that the constables think Zhang Hanlai is the most suspicious, but considering that this person is not weak in martial arts, they need to be prepared before transferring him to the prison to prevent him from escaping.

So they are looking for a blacksmith to make a stronger lock. Zhang Hanlai will probably be thrown into the prison tomorrow. Before that, the martial monks of Jingci Temple will temporarily take care of him.

The monks were not stupid. Although they felt that Zhang Han might have done it, there was no evidence, and the government said this to appease them.

So the monks went to the constable and asked him to investigate further, but the constable's tone was very tough. It was him. If I said it was him, it was him.

The monks immediately understood that the government's attitude was obviously not to lose face in front of the princess. Anyway, there was a suspect, so they put all the blame on him and closed the case as soon as possible to reassure the princess.

But understanding and having a solution are two different things. They were very dissatisfied, but they could do nothing about it.
