Chapter 226 Twin Brothers, the Darkness Hidden Deep
Si Moli didn't know about this issue either.
"My people have only found out this information for the time being. Master Wuchen did not stay in the White Horse Temple since he became a monk, but he wandered over from nowhere and settled there after that, maybe sixteen or seventeen years ago. Year, yes, it was about the time you were born."
Shen Qingyun nodded clearly: "Since we don't know where it came from, no wonder it's hard to trace it back."
Si Moli continued: "Master Wuchen's twin brother was said to have come with him at the time. Because he looked the same, the old monk in the temple had some impression of him. However, he was withdrawn and rarely met people. I heard he always liked to stay late at night. He just went out to wander by himself. Not long after, he seemed to have committed something, and he happened to be seen by a young monk. He left the White Horse Temple from then on, and no one knows where he went now."
"It seems that the time, as well as the style of doing things are more consistent with the master I want to find." Shen Qingyun frowned slightly: "What has he committed that can be found out?"
"I'm afraid we can only ask Master Wuchen directly after he comes out of seclusion." Si Moli sighed softly: "Although Master Wuchen has lived a long life, many monks have left White Horse Temple in recent years. I knew it back then. The monks who knew the inside story left one after another."
Knowing why, Shen Qingyun's eyebrows jumped slightly when he heard this sentence.
Could it be such a coincidence?
She raised her eyes to look at Si Moli and saw that his expression was also solemn, so she asked this question: "The temple is in a quiet environment, why do things happen so often? Is that person secretly seeking revenge?"
"Actually, I also doubt this, but the strange thing is that the death of these monks did have their own reasons, and it did not arouse the suspicion of the temple. Moreover, he himself was good at hiding his whereabouts. My people checked for a long time and still found There are no clues." Si Moli said, without relaxing his expression. The intuition he developed on the battlefield told him that this person was very dangerous.
"You mentioned before that this man looks almost the same as Master Wuchen. Is it possible that someone has actually seen him but mistook him for Master Wuchen?" Shen Qingyun analyzed softly.
"It is possible. But the old monk in the temple said that this person's eyes are sinister and his behavior is completely different from Master Wuchen, so it is actually easy to distinguish people when you see him. The most important thing is that this person's left hand has six fingers. "
"Since we are brothers and we get along day and night, it is easy to imitate each other. As for the six fingers, if your hands are not exposed, you probably won't be able to find them."
"That's right, and although Master Wuchen stays at White Horse Temple, he occasionally travels out and retreats for a month or two every once in a while. It is easier for him to assume his identity outside."
"In a few years, when all the old monks who have seen him are dead, it will be even harder to find him."
"Speaking of it, I have a close relationship with Master Wuchen, but he has never mentioned this person to me. I'm afraid he wants to distance himself from the relationship."
The two discussed for a while, but fell into a brief silence.
This matter seems to have reached a dead end, and it is really troublesome to check the traces of this person.
Some unknown emotions flashed in Shen Qingyun's eyes. She sorted out the matter in her mind, and then suddenly raised her head and said: "Master Wuchen, let's not worry about it for now. I think we can check those dead monks first." People close to you."
Si Moli's eyes were filled with confusion at first, and then he quickly figured it out: "Are you suspecting that if that person takes revenge, he will kill them all?"
Shen Qingyun nodded: "Facing a stranger like Shen Zhifeng, he could tell Shen Zhifeng to carefully use the child who was about to be born, which shows that he has no compassion for the monks. If the people close to those monks who died also died, , then the possibility of him doing it is very high.”
"It can even be inferred from this that he has been lingering near the White Horse Temple for so many years. In this case, it is easier to find his traces." Si Moli's eyes lit up and he looked at Shen Qingyun. Praise and appreciation are in his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other, smiled, and agreed on the matter.
Because White Horse Temple is not big, many monks actually come from nearby and have taken in abandoned babies, so the results of the investigation came out quickly.
The secret guard reported back: "Your Majesty, Miss Shen, according to your thoughts, I have found two suspicious places."
"First, there was a monk who died. He was the legitimate son of a small businessman in the suburbs of Beijing. His fiancée died of illness. He became lovesick and became a monk out of sadness. His parents often went to the temple to persuade him to return to secular life. However, after he After his death, a fire broke out in his house, and his parents and little sister did not escape."
"Secondly, another monk who died accidentally fell down while going down the mountain. There was a poor farmer's family. The man died, and there was only a widow with a child. The child often collected firewood and hunted game in the mountains, and he happened to find and save him. This In order to repay his kindness, the monk often went down the mountain to bring them some food. After the monk died, the peasant woman and the child died of arsenic one year. People in the village said that they were too poor and could not survive."
After hearing this, Shen Qingyun frowned tightly. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was a little strange: "Let's not talk about the fire. Since the widow had gone through so much trouble to raise her child, was she really willing to poison her and take her child away with her? ?”
Si Moli thought for a moment, then sent someone to investigate the fire at the merchant's house, and sure enough, something was wrong again.
Although more than ten years have passed, people who participated in the firefighting still have the impression: "There was something wrong with the fire. It burned too fast. The people inside didn't know if they were fainted by the thick smoke, and they didn't even scream." , it was burned directly to ashes, maybe this is life."
With these things presented before their eyes, Shen Qingyun and Si Moli could almost conclude that there was indeed someone secretly plotting to kill people behind the scenes.
"No matter what kind of mistakes he wants to cover up." Shen Qingyun whispered, with a hint of sadness in his voice: "These people are innocent, even kind, and they should not die like this."
Now that she wants to find this person, she not only wants to seek justice for herself, but also wants him to pay the price for these evil deeds.
They all say that family members are compassionate, but if this person is really the mastermind behind the scenes, then it is not an exaggeration to say that he was cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
Si Moli understood Shen Qingyun's feelings, and he gently held her hand: "Qingyun, don't worry, I will continue to investigate this matter. If this person is found to have committed these crimes, I will sentence him to Lingchi. "
Shen Qingyun nodded and said softly: "Don't be too tired, I feel sorry for you. I heard that people from the Northern Li Kingdom will be arriving soon, right?"
During this period, Si Moli was busy with his feet on the ground, and Shen Qingyun saw everything.
Si Moli smiled softly: "With your words, I won't be tired."
He thought of the person who was about to come, and he felt a sense of vigilance in his heart. The situation in Beili was still unstable. He could obviously send someone to talk, but the head of the Yin family actually came in person.
He looked at Qingyun aside.
