Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 985: Insider Crime

"Yes, I think the murderer is in Jingci Temple."

As soon as Yang Yiyi finished speaking, a crowd of monks exploded.

Xuannan was the first to jump out and said angrily:

"Don't talk nonsense. Although this temple is not as good as the thousand-year-old temple, there will never be anyone with cruel intentions!"

"Master Xuannan, all eminent monks, please don't be impatient and listen to me carefully."

Indicating everyone to be quiet, Yang Yiyi continued:

"First of all, there is Zhang Hanlai. You have all seen what this man did just now. He does not look like a murderer. Besides, think about it carefully. Even if it is a sneak attack, does Zhang Hanlai have the ability to kill Master Xuanku with one blow?"

It is true that Yang Yiyi himself is not sure that he can do it so cleanly. After a few rounds yesterday, Yang Yiyi also roughly knows what level Zhang Hanlai is at, so it is unlikely that he can do it.

Xuanbei himself also said that although Master Xuanku's martial arts skills have fallen behind, it is not something that cats and dogs can deal with. No matter how difficult it is, there must be some resistance.

"The suspicion of Zhang Hanlai has actually been minimized. Of course, I am not excusing him, and I am not completely ruling out the possibility that he is the murderer. This requires more evidence."

Master Xuanci asked:

"Since we need evidence, then if Yang Nuxia said that the murderer is in our temple, is there any evidence?"

"Of course"

Yang Yiyi said:

"I have no idea how this room became a secret room, but one thing is certain. Master Xuanku once had a face-to-face conversation with the murderer. He must be someone he knows and is familiar with."

"Why did the heroine say this?"

Yang Yiyi turned around and asked the little monk just now:

"When you were a child, you went to refill Master Xuanku's lamp oil. Master Xuanku was reading scriptures, right? Then tell me what his posture was like."

The young monk was stunned when he asked this.

"Um...just like usual, sitting on the bed and reading the scriptures on the desk."

"Facing the door to the side?"

"Yeah, sideways."

As soon as these words came out, several monks of the Xuan generation looked at each other, as if they had thought of something.

"As you all know, the doors and windows in the Zen room are locked. The only entrance and exit is the ventilation hole. It seems to be a secret room. I checked the window. The dust is very thick. It seems that it has not been opened for a long time."

The young monk nodded repeatedly when he heard this:

"That's right, Master Xuanku can't see Feng, so the windows are always closed."

"In this case, the murderer either walked through the front door or through the ventilation window, and no matter which way he walked, Master Xuanku, who was facing the door, would see it."

If you were on Aldai's side, there would be many ways to enter a secret room.

There are as many methods as you need, such as gas-transforming spirit bodies, Thor stone magic, fixed-point teleportation, etc.

But Yang Yiyi doesn't have so many fancy spells.

"If he comes in through the ventilation window, Master Xuannan will definitely get up and check. Whether he recognizes him or not, he will definitely not continue to sit where he is and read the scriptures. Therefore, I think that the murderer came in by knocking on the door normally, and it belongs to Master Xuannan. acquaintance."

Just like the little monk who added lamp oil to Master Xuanku, when he entered, Master Xuanku only said a few words to him, did not get up from the bed, and continued to read the scriptures.

This is obviously a relaxed and casual attitude only with acquaintances.

"That's why I think that the murderer who killed Master Xuanku must be an acquaintance. After entering the door, he pretended to have a conversation and approached Master Xuanku. While his attention was on the scriptures, he suddenly burst out and smashed Master Xuanku to pieces with one palm. 's spine."

Master Xuanci wanted evidence, and Yang Yiyi gave him the evidence. This evidence was the body of Master Xuannan.

It's easy to confirm. Just carefully remove the body later and see if his sitting posture is natural.

If it had been posed later, no matter how it was posed, the limbs of a dead person would definitely not be very obedient. This was not a doll after all.

Hands, feet, toes and fingers, if these details are not natural, it will be uncomfortable for people. Normally, you will adjust to a comfortable position when you sit on your knees or cross-legged, so you can confirm it by just looking at it.

Xuannan retorted a little unconfidently:

"That could also be done by someone outside the temple..."

Yang Yiyi shook her head:

"Master Xuannan, I understand your reluctance to believe it, but you may not know that because the princess has settled in Jingci Temple, there are guards patrolling the outside of the temple for a long time."

The safety of the princess is of course the top priority. This is not just bringing two or three people out for a private visit. The princess has brought a lot of pomp and circumstance.

She stayed at Jingci Temple, and the Ouchi guards immediately arranged for defense.

The first is the outer wall of Jingci Temple. In addition to the secret sentries, there are also patrols. The second is the inner wall. Not only are there patrols, but there are also guards. Not to mention the outside of the wing where the princess lives, which is directly surrounded by guards. , no flies can fly in.

The princess's visit was just an accident and was not originally planned.

If it was done by an outsider, although he didn't need to come to the princess's wing, he still needed to break through the two lines of defense, the outer wall and the inner wall. If he had done it last night, he would definitely not have had time to find out the patrol routes of the Ouchi guards, the location of secret sentries and other information. If he wanted to sneak in without anyone noticing, he would have to be a master of the level of Shen Qingluo, the master of Tianjue Palace. .

This is indeed a possibility, but how could a monk who squatted in the temple all year round and was responsible for managing the accounting books get into trouble with such a great master?

The possibility is too low.

"I just asked the guard brother for confirmation. They did not receive any report last night. In addition to the condition of Master Xuan Nan's body, I think there is no possibility of outsiders doing it."

Xuan Nan had nothing to say now. His temper just now was gone.

He was hot-tempered, but not unreasonable. The matter was so clear in front of him that he had to believe it.

Xuan Nan opened his mouth and asked again in line with the creed of the Discipline Institute:

"Does Miss Yang have any guesses about the murderer? Even if it's just a range?"

There are thousands of monks in Jingci Temple. It's hard to say without a range.

"Someone who is familiar with Master Xuan Nan, meets him often, and is very relaxed. In addition, we have to consider the motive for the murder."

This is the most important part of narrowing the scope. After all, if there is no motive, everything is nonsense.

"I think the murderer is among the acquaintances, especially the monks of the Xuan generation are the most suspicious, and the new host candidate is the most suspicious."

Yang Yiyi hesitated for a while, but still said this.

The monks of the Xuan generation seemed to be mentally prepared for this, and they all bowed their heads and clasped their hands together.

The most likely motive for the murder at present is the position of abbot.

In addition to the dead Xuan Ku, the three masters Xuan Nan, Xuan Ci, and Xuan Bei are all strong candidates for the abbot.

Xuan Ku is in charge of the account book. He is in charge of all the food, clothing and expenses of the temple. The possibility of him sitting on the abbot is not low.

If one of the other three candidates feels that he needs to be eliminated in order to win the abbot position...

This logic can be sorted out.
