Hearing that someone died in the monk's house, Jiang Lin's first reaction was Jing Qi who was very arrogant towards them before.

Not for anything else, just from the perspective of mystery novels or detective comics, this person has planted too many death flags on himself, it is almost too much like the first one to die in the setting of "Blizzard Mountain Villa" The role of cannon fodder.

But when they came to the small courtyard where the monk lived, they found that the dead person was not Jingqi, but the little novice Mingda!

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, a knife was stuck in his abdomen, and he was lying on his back in a pool of blood.On the other hand, he looked like he couldn't call for help and was killed by a single blow.

Jiang Lin frowned, and Jiao Yunshu immediately stepped forward for an autopsy.

The rest of the people were a little stunned by the sudden death of another person in the temple, and they didn't stop the two of them from moving.

Xie Ling asked worriedly: "Why did you die behind the yard? It's already this hour, didn't everyone stay in the room properly? Where's the night watchman?"

Jiang Lin had mentioned the seriousness of this incident before, and Xie Ling and the others also remembered to tell the monks in the courtyard to pay attention to their own safety and not to walk around at night.

Ming Qi pointed to Jing Qi and another senior brother, and said, "At that time, the three of us were guarding, but about a quarter of an hour ago, Ming Da said that he was going to go to the toilet, very anxious, and said that he would soon return……"

Hearing this, Jiang Lin frowned and said, "There is a urinal in the house, no matter what, you shouldn't leave the yard. Didn't you stop him?"

Ming Qi lowered his head and said: "Senior brother said that it is not safe outside the house, we are all guarding the door and windows inside the house. No one saw Ming Da go outside the yard, we saw that he hadn't come back after a while, so we went to find him together he..."

"Enough!" Jing Qi interrupted impatiently, "Why are you telling him so much? From my point of view, they may be the ones who killed Junior Brother Mingda! In order to buy some time for my good brother and colleague , not hesitate to kill innocent strangers!"

"This master has to think clearly before speaking." Jiang Lin lowered his voice and said, "Judge Xie and others have been searching for treasures in the outer courtyard, and Jiang and a few righteous men returned to the temple after midnight. One point, the monks guarding all over the monastery can testify for us. We have no possibility of approaching the monastery at all."

All the monks present understood this truth, only Jing Qi couldn't help but said stiffly: "So what? You guys are very strong in martial arts, flying over eaves and walls, maybe you flew here by relying on lightness kung fu, we naturally won't be able to detect it."

Jiang Lin was amused by his strong words, and said: "Who do you say is strong in martial arts and can do light work? Are they?" His eyes were on the disabled Wen Qing, the delicately dressed Xie Ling, and the pale and thin Yun Shu. After wandering around for a while, he pointed to himself and said, "Or Jiang? It's a pity, Jiang really doesn't know martial arts."

"Where is Fifth Master Bai?! Will he always?" Jing Qi looked left and right to see Bai Yutang's figure, and sneered, "Could it be that he is guilty of a crime and dare not show up?"

"Your fifth master, I am here!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud and clear voice coming from behind. Everyone followed the sound and saw Bai Yutang and Yu's couple walking slowly with an elderly monk.

The monks recognized the old monk as the unnamed uncle who was in charge of guarding the gate of Qinglong Temple, and they all bowed to him, their eyes hesitated to speak, as if they wanted to ask him how he got together with Bai Yutang and others.

Jiang Lin knew the problems in their hearts, so he helped them, and asked, "Master, when did Bai Sizhi and others return to Qinglong Temple?"

The nameless master said kindly, "Benefactor Jiang is very polite. Donor Bai and the others arrived at the gate of Qinglong Temple a quarter of an hour ago."

Once these words came out, the situation couldn't be clearer.

All the monks in the courtyard knew that Mingda was murdered outside the small courtyard fifteen minutes ago, and if Bai Yutang and others had done it, no matter how good their lightness kung fu was, they would not have arrived at the gate of Qinglong Temple at the same time.

Therefore, it is impossible for Bai Yutang and the others to be the murderer.

Jing Qi panicked and said, "But that would not be done by the monks in our courtyard! We are all in the house, taking care of each other, it cannot be the murderer who killed Mingda."

That's a good point.

"This master is only focusing on civil strife, and his thinking is obviously narrow." Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Since we all have evidence to prove our innocence, doesn't it mean that the murderer is not among us?"

"Don't forget, apart from the few monks who left alone fifteen minutes ago, there are probably other dangerous elements lurking in this temple."

Jiang Lin ignored Jing Qi's hesitation to speak, smiled and nodded Yun Shu, and said, "Since we are all our own people, why don't you just talk about the results of the autopsy."

Yun Shu stood up and said, "The deceased is Mingda, about sixteen years old. According to the condition of the corpse, the mouth and nose of the deceased were covered with coarse cloth. The murderer held a five-inch sharp weapon in his right hand and inserted it into half of his lower abdomen from the front. Inch position, turning the tip of the knife in the body of the deceased, causing the deceased to lose too much blood and die.”

Everyone gasped because of this cruel killing method, but Yun Shu added another sentence.

"But there's something strange about it."

Jiang Lin asked, "What?"

Yun Shu was silent for a while, gesturing to the murderer's action, and murmured, "The murderer's stabbing position seems to be a bit low."

Jiang Lin frowned slightly.

It is very common to judge the murderer's height and body shape based on the location of the wound on the deceased's body.Generally speaking, when a murderer kills, he will choose a position that is most comfortable and familiar to him, so that he can use enough strength to kill the deceased.

But Mingda was not tall in the first place, the murderer chose to stab the blade in the lower part of his abdomen, could the murderer be lower than Mingda?

Jiang Lin didn't express the reasoning in his heart for the time being, but asked, "Is it possible that Mingda and the murderer knew each other?"

Jing Qi exploded at once, saying: "What do you mean by that? Do you want to say that the murderer is someone from our temple again?!"

"It's like someone splashing dirty water on you." Bai Yutang said impatiently, "You should think about it, if you ran out of the yard alone at night and ran into someone you didn't like People who know each other even saw the knife in the opponent's hand, and if they didn't choose to turn around and run away, they would have to call for help, right? But judging by Mingda's appearance, he was obviously defenseless against the murderer, since he was stabbed from the front. wear."

"You see, even his eyes are round with surprise and surprise."

Yun Shu added with a blank face: "Yes, and I have touched it. There is no feces in his stomach, but he came out of the courtyard in a hurry. This is also very suspicious."

Everyone was a little speechless at Yun Shu's meticulous attention to detail, and only Bai Yutang answered, "So, maybe when you walk out of the courtyard, you just want to meet someone, and that may not be the case."

If this kind of speculation is combined with the case of the murder of the abbot yesterday, there will be more possibilities for derivation.

Yu, who hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't help asking: "Could it be that this little master joined hands with someone to kill the master abbot?"

"Impossible!" Ming Qi retorted immediately, "You people don't understand Ming Da at all, he is not that kind of person at all!"

He was obviously terrified of the bloody corpse, but he still leaned closer to Mingda, choked up and said: "And who said that opening your eyes can only be surprise, my junior brother's eyes are obviously more fearful!"

·

The case was at an impasse for a while, and seeing that the two sides were about to clash again, Jiang Lin immediately stopped them with his hand.

Anyway, there is no way to find out who killed Mingda for the time being. Jiang Lin thought about it, and let everyone go back to the house first, and be careful for the time being.

Master Wuming and several martial arts monks guarded the monk's courtyard. The Yu family couple, Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang each took turns guarding the residence.

Although it wasn't time for Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang to be on duty, both of them couldn't sleep, so they walked all the way to Linshui Pavilion.

Jiang Lin couldn't tell whether Bai Yutang's expression was good or bad, so he asked directly: "I didn't find what we were looking for, did I?"

Bai Yutang gave a muffled hum, which lowered Jiang Lin's mood a bit.

"There was nothing in the secret room. I even dragged the girl from Yu's family into the secret room. The two of us searched for a long time inside, but we couldn't find any mechanism."

They all knew that although they failed to find the secret treasure, as the mysterious man had requested, someone died in the temple, and Zhan Zhao could live another day.But neither of them will take any comfort from the news.

What's more, according to Zhan Zhao's current situation, he would suffer another day of punishment.

No matter what the method is, they have to rescue Zhan Zhao quickly.

Jiang Lin was still thinking about why Mingda died, and the two came to Linshui Pavilion without knowing it.They looked at the closed door from a distance, and Bai Yutang felt an urge to rush in without hesitation, but he suppressed it again.

But the mysterious person seemed to sense their arrival, the door of Linshui Pavilion opened in an instant, and the door was still full of silk threads that made people dare not approach.

The man let out a muffled laugh in an extremely weird and hoarse voice, and said, "What happened today is very interesting. This is my reward for you."

With that said, Jiang Lin and the others saw Zhan Zhao's entire body being pulled up abruptly and thrown into a dense net.

The posture of being placed in the net will definitely make Zhan Zhao feel better, but Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang still feel that the other party's move is full of provocation.

The mysterious man continued: "Guard Zhan has such good luck today that he can teach someone to die for him, but it may not be so tomorrow."

Bai Yutang yelled angrily: "You thief, even if we found the treasure for you tomorrow, you might not be able to use it!"

"...Then don't bother your Fifth Lord to worry about it."

·

As it turns out, just when you thought he was bad enough, things got worse.

Bai Yutang originally thought that it would be bad enough for him to enter the secret room and not find the secret treasure.

But what he didn't expect was that they couldn't even open the door on the stone wall, not to mention finding the secret treasure of Qinglong the next day.
