Chapter Thirty-Seven

The first update is here today!!! I hope you all can support me and recommend me to collect one so as not to miss it. Thank you!!!

————————————————————————

The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle.

The scenery of Mount Emei is still picturesque. Whenever you stand in the mountains and enjoy the beautiful scenery, you will have a pleasant feeling of completely letting go and surrendering your whole body and mind to nature.

Although Zhengyao fell asleep very early last night, he felt extremely tired when he woke up. In order to relieve this fatigue, no, early in the morning, before eating, Zhengyao ran to the temple built against the cliff.

He was practicing self-regulation on a pavilion. He looked so entranced that someone who didn't know better would have thought that he was a Taoist priest who came down from Qingcheng Mountain.

Originally, Zheng Yao wanted to lie in bed alone and see if he could figure out some hidden clues, but because he was too sleepy, he fell asleep without thinking of anything. However, he had a dream because of this, a very weird dream.

Dream. He dreamed that he was walking on the road, and before he took two steps, a strange black snake would appear blocking the way, seeming to prevent him from moving forward.

This black snake is very weird. It has a dark and shiny body, a head the size of a palm, and a few black and white lines on its face. At first glance, it looks like a person wearing black facial makeup, with angry eyes and a fierce look.

The snake kept spitting out its tiny red tongue and hissing, making his scalp numb. Zhengyao had to spend a lot of effort to drive it away every time, but not long after, the snake appeared again.

in front of yourself.

Finally, Zhengyao was awakened by this dream and lost his sleepiness.

Sitting alone on the stone bench, eyes closed, listening to the sounds of nature, as if looking for a place where one can feel peaceful.

"Strange snake, black face, vicious eyes and poisonous tongue, blocking the road... What does this mean? Is it warning me?"

Zhengyao was talking to himself, as if there was an unsolvable knot in his heart.

"Huiyuan steals the Jade Buddha, Prince Jing is kidnapped, Hua Zhenhu disappears, corpse powder appears, Wuchanyuan is on fire, Huiyuan is murdered... Is there any internal connection between these? Everything seems to happen by coincidence. In terms of time,

The cooperation was just right, but where was the breakthrough? Did Huiyuan steal the Jade Buddha just for money? If so, why was he murdered again? Hua Zhenhu was killed by Wan Kunlong, and Wan Kunlong was killed again.

Who killed him? Is there any connection between Wan Kunlong's death and Huiyuan's death..."

Zhengyao was still talking to himself with his eyes closed, completely forgetting his surroundings and himself, and he didn't even know anyone was coming.

"Hey! You idiot! I said you are living a comfortable life! Everyone is worried about this case, so you are good. You said you wanted to take a break to collect your thoughts, but I didn't expect you to have the leisure to close your eyes and enjoy the scenery here!"

I saw two women coming from behind Zhengyao. They were both dressed in white gauze robes, with long hair, and faintly fragrant smells. Needless to say, they were naturally Ning'an and Xiaoxi.

Ning An's slightly dissatisfied voice immediately interrupted Zhengyao who was in silence. Zhengyao had no choice but to open his eyes, turned to look at Ning An with dissatisfaction, and said angrily: "You are such a slut, so early in the morning

When I see you, something bad must happen! Every time I think about a problem, you mess it up!"

Ning An said "Ah" with doubtful eyes, then immediately came up to him, looked at Zheng Yao strangely and said, "Hey, idiot, what did you think of? Are there any clues about Hui Yuan's death?"

Zheng Yao really couldn't do anything about this troublesome woman, but he ignored Ning An's curiosity, and immediately stood up and said: "You are still gossiping, hurry up and see the crime scene, and ask the relevant personnel by the way.

"

Zhengyao understands that the most critical thing now is the crime scene. Although the fire may have destroyed everything, some evidence will always be ignored. This is called a hundred secrets and a sparse. Moreover, Hui Qing is also a key figure. After all, he

He often brought meals to Huiyuan, and he might have been the last person to see the deceased before his death.

He already had an idea in his mind, so without further ado, he grabbed Ning An's hand and went straight to the woodshed.

"Hey... don't be so hasty -" Ning An wasn't ready yet. She didn't want Zhengyao to pull her and run away. She was a little unprepared. She was a princess, so there was no way she could outrun Zhengyao, so she had to gasp for breath.

Angry, he shouted incoherently.

Xiao Xi on the side was very happy. This princess was not afraid of anything, how could she be treated so obediently by Young Master Li?

When they came to the door of the woodshed, they saw King Jing and others coming from the other side.

"Your Majesty! Master Abbot." At this time, Zhengyao let go of Ning An's hand, and then respectfully greeted Prince Jing and the abbot, the old monk Hue.

"Okay, it seems that Zhengyao should have made new progress after a night of sorting it out. Then this king will have an eye-opener again! Hahaha." Prince Jing was very happy. Every time he saw Zhengyao, his

There is a sense of solidity in my heart, and this feeling of solidity is getting heavier and heavier. Sometimes I think about how great it would be if Zhengyao was my son or son-in-law.

"I noticed that the third brother's eyebrows are dark. It seems that he didn't sleep well last night and encountered something difficult?" Zhang Cheng did some research on faces. He could see at a glance that Zhengyao didn't look very good. He probably didn't sleep well.

Because, but he really hit the nail on the head.

Zhengyao smiled helplessly and said: "It doesn't matter, we can talk about it later. Let's go in first and see what's going on inside."

With that said, Zhengyao was the first to step into the woodshed, then turned to the old monk from Hue and said, "Has anyone moved here since the fire was extinguished?"

When the abbot of Hue heard Zheng Yao's question, he immediately said: "Amitabha, this place was on fire just now, and then people died. Who among the monks in the temple will come here? Donor, don't worry, no monks will come here."

of."

The old monk from Hue is right. After all, if people have died here, it will inevitably be a bit unlucky. Even if the monk's six roots are pure, when it comes to dead people, he still feels a little wary in his heart, so naturally he will not come here.

Zhengyao nodded and turned his head.

The woodshed had been burned beyond recognition, but luckily it was put out in time, otherwise the entire woodshed might have burned down and the main structure would have been damaged, which would have been even more troublesome.

"The damage to the houses on the east side was the most serious, so the fire point should be on the east side; there may have been an east wind at that time, so the west side was not burned too badly. This is why the confinement room on the east side, which is separated by an aisle, also caught fire."

After a brief look, Zhengyao can only draw this conclusion.

Pass through the side door on the east side and arrive at the door of the confinement room.

"Although the door of the confinement room is an iron door and is surrounded by stone walls, it is estimated that the fire was very strong at that time and the wind was strong enough, so the fire was able to ignite the grass in the confinement room through the windows on the door and the stone wall, and then it was again

It ignited the wooden objects inside, causing the fire."

Walking and looking all the way, Zhengyao's eyes kept scanning, hoping to capture more useful information.

Everyone also started searching together. Liu Yan and Zhang Cheng immediately pushed open the iron door and entered the house with Zheng Yao.

As soon as I entered the house, a burst of soot blew in. Perhaps it was because it was relatively dry inside, and there was still some ashes left after the fire that had not been taken care of. When the iron door was opened and the wind blew, the ashes naturally blew up again.

Zhengyao and the three of them couldn't help but sneeze at the same time.

"This room is so dry, it's not unusual for it to catch fire." Liu Yan said thoughtfully after sneezing.

Zhengyao nodded, did not speak, and continued to observe the surrounding environment, as did Zhang Cheng beside him.

Others also began to imitate Zhengyao, scanning the room like a search device.

There is a stone bed, a stone bench and a stone table in the room. Then there are some stacked wood and grass ash. It seems that few people live in this confinement room. Perhaps it is because there are no cells in the temple, so Huiyuan

Confined here and thinking about my mistakes.

"This should be the place where Huiyuan lay down. There is no trace of being burned." Zhengyao pointed to a relatively clean place on the ground against the stone bed and said.

"Look, what is this!" Suddenly, Zhang Cheng shouted loudly as if he had discovered a new world.

Zhang Cheng's shout immediately attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, Zhang Cheng was holding a burnt "thing" in his hand, with an oval-shaped raised object at the bottom.

Oval raised object???

"Could this be the murder weapon?!" Liu Yan reacted immediately, immediately came forward, pointed at the thing and said.

"I think so. This object is somewhat similar to a bowl." Zhengyao nodded and said thoughtfully.

Everyone thought it was similar, but this bowl was a bit strange, why did it become such a mess?

"After being burned by the fire, this bowl has probably been deformed, but the material at the bottom is quite special, so it has not deformed." Seeing everyone's confusion, Yuan Haiyun explained.

"Master Abbot, please let Master Huiqing come here. I want to ask him a few questions." Zhengyao said politely to Hue who was standing aside. Perhaps only Huiqing knows more now.

In less than a minute, Hui Qing walked over from the crowd.

Huiqing seemed a little trembling, just like how he behaved when he was asked what to say when the Jade Buddha was stolen. It seemed that the young monk was still frightened by such an incident and was inevitably afraid.

"You don't have to be afraid. I'm just asking a routine question, not an interrogation of criminals."

At this time, Zhengyao was just like a people's policeman, and even the tone of his questioning sounded like he was recording a confession.

"Yes...yes, if the donor has...if you have anything to say, just ask! The little...little monk must know...tell everything he knows!" Hui Qing still looked shy.

Zhengyao smiled and his tone became very soft: "You, the young master, delivered the meal to Huiyuan that day. Can you tell me how Huiyuan reacted at that time? Did you see any suspicious people lingering here?"

Zhengyao understood that if he directly asked if he had seen anyone setting fire to kill people, the young monk would definitely be too scared to say anything, so he asked in a different way.

When Hui Qing heard this, he immediately answered something that made the abbot feel angry and funny: "No, because... the monk's stomach... had pain in his stomach that day, and... it was not the food sent by the monk!"
