I am a super cop
Chapter 1790 The Little Monk of Beiling [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1790 The Little Monk of North Ridge 【Two Chapters in One】
Inside the Zen room.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help coughing twice, and said solemnly: "Master Wu, I really don't know what to say about you?"
"If you are Wu Qi, you can give people various enlightenments and heal others' psychology."
"If you want to say that you are Master Wu, you are not worthy of virtue, full of hypocrisy, and all kinds of lies."
"You... what did you say?" Wu Qi was startled when he heard Lu Weiwei commenting on himself.
In his opinion, among the people who came to Beiling Monastery, no one dared to talk to him like this, and he felt that this girl was a bad visitor.
Lu Weiwei didn't follow him either.
What should be known, in fact, everyone in the Furong sub-bureau, with the cooperation of Sun Haifang, has already grasped enough clues.
But now it depends on Wu Qi's attitude.
If he took the initiative to confess, it would be okay to confess to burying Sun Yunmei's body, but if he insisted on denying it, everyone would have to despise him with their toes.
After all, this is the guru that the locals believe in.
What level does this belong in this circle?Basically, it is the same as ordinary people chasing stars.
In their eyes, Master Wu exists like a god, but if the human setting collapses one day, it is estimated that many people's beliefs will also collapse.
Fortunately, it was Wu Qi who took everyone to an empty room, otherwise, if these believers and practitioners heard it, they would probably collapse on the spot.
"Wu Qi." Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder, took out the transcript and looked up at him, "I ask you, did you kill Sun Yunmei?"
"You... what are you talking about? Aren't you talking nonsense?" Facing Lu Weiwei's question just now, Wu Qi already felt a little scared.
But now even Gu Chen continued to question him, feeling that the purpose of this group of policemen's trip was to question him.
Wu Qi is a little flustered now, but he still maintains the posture that a master should have.
After trying to calm down, Wu Qi took a deep breath and asked coldly: "Benefactor Gu, benefactor Lu, poor monk, I don't know what you mean?"
"Did Sun Yunmei be strangled to death by you in the back mountain?" Gu Chen asked him calmly.
Wu Qi immediately dodged his eyes.
Obviously, Gu Chen seems to know something?
But after thinking about it, Wu Qi realized that basically only he and Sun Haifang knew what happened in Houshan that day.
From this point of view, it seems that Sun Haifang betrayed herself?
With doubts, Wu Qi looked at Gu Chen in surprise.
Gu Chen also nodded and said: "It seems that you have already guessed it, that's right, Sun Haifang explained everything that should be explained, I think you don't need us to waste any more words, right?"
"Should I take the initiative to explain it myself, Master Wu?"
Gu Chen's last three words "Master Wu", Wu Qi himself felt full of ridicule when he heard it.
Indeed, Wu Qi is a little bit hard to get off now.
Just now, he was still the master of Beiling Monastery, but now, he has become a murderer.
But in the face of many policemen's questioning, Wu Qi not only didn't mean to explain, but snorted coldly, waved his hands involuntarily, and said:
"Benefactor Gu, did the benefactor Sun Haifang tell you all this?"
"Isn't it?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Wu Qi waved his hand and continued to smile: "I think you were all deceived by her, this female benefactor of Sun Haifang has something wrong with her mind."
After the words fell, Wu Qi pointed to his head with his finger.
Officer Wang sneered and said, "Wu Qi, don't act. Actually, Sun Yunmei didn't have any 18-year-old son. Her son died shortly after he was born. We all went to Qinghe Town, her hometown to investigate this point. There are also parties involved. can prove."
"But since her Sun Yunmei's son doesn't exist at all, there is no such thing as your Wu Qi's son and her son going to North Ridge to duel because of relationship problems. This is obviously a false proposition."
"But you just made up this unfounded thing to look like the real thing, and even caused us policemen to search for dead bodies on Beiling Mountain."
After the words fell, Police Officer Wang couldn't help laughing at himself: "I feel a little funny when I think about it now."
"You said that those of us who are police officers will be fooled by you. It seems that your morality is quite profound, and you are almost going to be fooled by you."
"Amitabha, good and good." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Wu Qi immediately put his hands together and put on a gesture of defense:
"The Wang benefactor's words are wrong. The poor monk is a responsible person, and monks don't lie."
"As for the things you said, who is the party involved? I guess it is also Sun Haifang's benefactor, who has long colluded with good people to frame me."
"Framed you?" Lu Weiwei suppressed her laughter when she heard it, "I said Master Wu, what did she, Sun Haifang, frame you for?"
"Or, you did some invisible things in this Beiling Temple? Some things are not visible?"
"Amitabha, Lu benefactor, is it a bit too much for you to tease me like this?" Wu Qi seemed to be anxious when asked, and immediately dropped his kind face just now, and his eyes became a little angry.
Of course Lu Weiwei didn't take this set.
I also know that Wu Qi will be impatient sooner or later.
Master Wu, who has been called for so many years, is now a murderer in front of the police.
This is unacceptable to anyone.
Master Wu is the same.
But after the words fell, Wu Qi found that Lu Weiwei didn't respond to him, and when he was still staring at him as if watching his performance, Wu Qi was startled and felt a little embarrassed.
"Wu Qi, you said Sun Haifang framed you? Why did she frame you?" Gu Chen also asked him curiously.
Wu Qi suddenly snorted twice, and also put on a posture of a master, and said slowly:
"Does it need to be said? Although I am called Master Wu, I never think so."
"In my opinion, the so-called master is just a title. In fact, I prefer to be an ordinary monk, giving advice to others and alleviating their various anxieties in life."
After a pause, seeing that everyone did not interrupt, Wu Qi said again: "For example, people like Sun Haifang's benefactor, oh, of course, she is not the only one."
"Many female benefactors wanted to get close to me. At first, I didn't feel too much surprise, but one day, when I was explaining my doubts to female benefactor Sun Haifang in the meditation room, she suddenly said to me."
"Let me return to vulgarity and go down the mountain with her to live my life."
"Really?" Listening to Wu Qi's words, Lu Weiwei also frowned, feeling that this was very interesting.
Wu Qi also nodded silently, and echoed: "Of course it is. She said that she has lived alone for many years, and she has long been disappointed in life."
"Later, she met me in this Beiling Temple. She thought I was her guide. At first, she always wanted to find a wife to spend the rest of her life, but she never found a suitable one until she met me later."
"She thinks this is fate, and if she can spend the rest of her life with me, then she will die without regret."
With a faint sigh, Wu Qi also shook his head helplessly: "Amitabha, you said that the poor monk is just a monk, how could he return to the vulgar life with Sun Haifang's female benefactor?"
"So?" Gu Chen asked him.
"So?" Wu Qi smiled, shook his head and said, "So of course the poor monk refused. Not only that, but I also enlightened Sun Haifang's female benefactor to let her give up this idea as soon as possible."
"I didn't expect that Sun Haifang's benefactor not only refused to listen, but also came to harass me time and time again."
"If it wasn't for Sun Haifang's friendship with the poor monk, I would have called the police a long time ago, but after she was rejected by me many times, she started spreading rumors."
"What did she say?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"She said..." Wu Qi put on an angry gesture, and said in a bad mood: "She said that if I don't return to the vulgar and live with her, then she will make me eat and walk around."
Frowning, Wu Qi also put on a puzzled attitude, and said a little aggrieved: "At first I didn't know what the benefactor Sun Haifang meant by saying that?"
"But it wasn't until you went up the mountain to find the poor monk that I realized that she actually found such an excuse to slander me."
At the end of the speech, Wu Qi put his hands together again, frowned and said: "Amitabha, you are so good."
"It's also the poor monk's responsibility for failing to enlighten Sun Haifang's female benefactor. It's just that I didn't expect that this matter would involve your police. I'm really sorry."
The voice fell, and the scene was quiet again for a few seconds.
It was as if the air had stood still.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others still didn't respond, Wu Qi looked very embarrassed for a moment.
Gu Chen looked at Wu Qi, and also smiled slightly: "Your reason sounds true, but you have to know that you can lie, but your account can't."
"According to Sun Haifang, you have received huge amounts of property from others for a long time, and you have also opened a private account."
"Over the past few years, you have been fooling some people under the guise of being a guide, giving you crazy and expensive gifts."
"What I saw in your meditation room that night is already the best proof, and this may be only a small part of the valuables that you have no time to deal with."
After a pause, Gu Chen also said truthfully: "It can be seen that you have received a lot of these valuables. The deposit in your personal account should be quite a lot, right?"
"Amitabha, goodness is goodness." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Wu Qi was a little impatient, and quickly retorted:
"Benefactor Gu, you are insulting me when you say this about me. This poor monk cannot accept it."
"Whether you can accept it or not is not up to you." Lu Weiwei watched Wu Qi argue for a long time, and felt that this person's acting skills had reached the peak.
Before coming to the North Ridge Temple, Lu Weiwei had already thought about it, which method would Wu Qi use to argue?
It can be seen that it is now fulfilled.
Wu Qi made it clear that he didn't want to cooperate, and he didn't want to tell Sun Yunmei where Sun Yunmei's body was buried.
Lu Weiwei said a little angrily: "Wu Qi, your identity will not change. We will investigate all your bank accounts based on your identity, including who have you been in contact with?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Weiwei suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Oh, by the way, you asked Sun Haifang to find a workshop that specializes in making old, and got an old photo frame. This is to fool our police."
"So that our police think that this is really the portrait of Sun Yunmei's son, but you must know that since we have captured Sun Haifang, we can use Sun Haifang to find that person."
"And I also told you that our people have set off and are inviting those people to the police station for tea. I think you should know that you all know these people."
"If it is said that everyone is lying and you are the only one who is telling the truth, then I really admire how they managed to lie and frame you without any precautions."
"Or is everything they said the truth? And you are the only one lying? Master Wu?"
"Uh……"
Asked by Lu Weiwei, Wu Qi was immediately very embarrassed.
Indeed, according to common sense, this situation is simply impossible.
And Gu Chen still has to investigate his bank account.
You know, these things can be investigated by the police through some channels.
Now Wu Qi seems a little speechless.
Fortunately, the police haven't found Sun Yunmei's body so far, and they haven't come up with the results of their investigation yet.
Wu Qi took a deep breath, sighed faintly, then folded his palms together, and murmured: "Amitabha, since several benefactors are unwilling to trust the poor monk, then the poor monk has nothing to say, everyone, please go back."
"Go back?" Officer Wang was amused when he heard it, and said in a bad mood: "You didn't tell us where Sun Yunmei was buried, so you let us go back? Do you think our trip was for nothing? We have to take it with us no matter what. Go back with the result?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk has already said that this matter has nothing to do with the poor monk. Everything is framed by the benefactor Sun Haifang. The poor monk has nothing to say. Please go back, everyone?"
Wu Qi now put on a posture of unwillingness to cooperate, especially after closing his palms, he quickly entered a state of immersive meditation.
No matter what Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha asked, Wu Qi would not answer any more.
Thinking that Wu Qi was about to break the pot, Police Officer Wang was also a little angry.
But Gu Chen waved his hand to signal everyone to leave the room.
When everyone came outside the meditation room, Police Officer Wang quit at that time, and said angrily, "Gu Chen, this guy is clearly lying."
"I know." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
"Then you let him continue to pretend to be stupid like this?" Officer Wang asked again.
Gu Chen smiled lightly and replied, "Senior Brother Wang, have you forgotten what we thought before we came here?"
"Before you came here?" Police Officer Wang was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly recalled the various discussions everyone had in the office before, and suddenly remembered that in fact, everyone never thought that Wu Qi would confess by himself.
Even if all relevant personnel are brought to confrontation, so that Wu Qi's bank account transfer records are found, as long as Wu Qi insists that he did not kill the murderer, and refuses to reveal the specific location of Sun Yunmei.
Then it will be difficult for the police to take the next step if they arrest him.
Officer Wang sighed heavily, and asked Gu Chen, "Then we can only find it by ourselves now?"
"Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, I can only find out by myself." Gu Chen also told the truth.
No matter how Wu Qi hides the whereabouts of the corpse, Gu Chen guesses that he may be able to rely on trace theory to reason, and he can always find some tricks.
Afterwards, Gu Chen said to Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe, "You two stay here and keep an eye on Wu Qi."
"Where Wu Qi is going, where are you going, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Hearing Gu Chen's confession, the two also echoed in unison.
After arranging the affairs here, Gu Chen immediately counted the number of people, and took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Officer Ding, Huang Zunlong and Ding Liang together and walked towards the back mountain with tools.
According to Sun Haifang's account, the murder happened under a pine tree in the back mountain.
And before coming here, Gu Chen also asked Sun Haifang to confirm the exact location of the incident on the satellite map.
Therefore, Gu Chen led the crowd, but only walked down the first slope in the direction of the back mountain, and found the location Sun Haifang explained on the first slope.
"It should be here." Gu Chen walked under the pine tree, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Sun Haifang is not lying, there is indeed a pine tree here."
"That is to say, this Sun Yunmei was killed here?" Lu Weiwei stood on the spot and looked around, feeling that the slope did block the view of the Beiling Monastery.
And here, the slope can also block the sound source very well.
Officer Wang said impatiently: "What are you waiting for now? Hurry up and search the place where Sun Yunmei's body is buried before dark."
"Otherwise, when it gets dark, we won't be able to start working again, so let's start quickly."
Police Officer Wang said this, but he was actually quite helpless. It was almost 5 pm when he came to the mountain, and he wasted a lot of time during the questioning with Wu Qi.
It's okay for Wu Qi to explain himself, but this guy is a dead duck right now, and he can carry it for a day.
Although all kinds of evidence can show that Wu Qi has been lying, he still has his own trump card.
That was Sun Yunmei's body.
After all, according to Sun Haifang's own confession, when Wu Qi buried the body of his sister Sun Yunmei that day, he once sent him away.
So now only Wu Qi knows where Sun Yunmei's body is buried.
Therefore, Wu Qi is an old fox, and his cunning is far beyond everyone's imagination.
Maybe this kind of smart person also knows that he will have such a day?
But if he still has this trump card in hand, it will be very difficult for the police to actually convict him.
After all, if the body cannot be found, then all the results of the previous investigation may be overturned.
After all, Wu Qi also went to college.
In that era, going to college was tantamount to a representative of high IQ.
It can be seen that facing these policemen, Wu Qi does have his own way.
Of course, Gu Chen also believed that it was impossible to find Sun Yunmei's body in the direction of the back mountain of Beiling Monastery in just one night. This is unrealistic.
But the search has to continue.
For this reason, all of them carried luggage bags and equipped with many outdoor living materials.
Everyone planned to search until dark, and then returned to Beiling Monastery, planning to enter the mountain early tomorrow morning.
Gu Chen also activated his master-level observation skills, preparing to concentrate on finding some useful clues through some subtle traces.
But after searching for half an hour, Gu Chen also found some clues.
That is, on the small path in the back mountain, Gu Chen did find some suspicious drag marks.
Many plants have traces of being crushed and broken.
Although it has been nearly a month since this incident, the recovery of these plants is far from undiscoverable.
After passing through a forest, a fork in the road soon appeared.
Everyone froze in place immediately.
Gu Chen took out his phone and clicked on the phone map.
Before everyone came here, they also investigated the corresponding topographical maps, so Gu Chen also stood in place to confirm and said:
"Going from the right side, you will go to another place in the valley, and you will also lead to another road. If you go to the left side, you will go to the North Ridge parking spot, which is also the direction to return down the mountain, and we need soldiers now. In two ways."
"How about it." Police officer Ding looked at the fork in front of him, and also took the initiative to ask Ying: "I will take Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to the right to look for it, and you go to the left."
"Everyone finds it until it gets dark, and then returns the same way."
"Whether you find it or not, you will go back a long way and gather at the Beiling Monastery, what do you think?"
"Yes." Facing Police Officer Ding's proposal, Gu Chen readily agreed, "The night in the mountains is more dangerous, so don't try to be brave."
"Go back if you can't find it. It's not too late to find it tomorrow, so let's do it."
After a brief discussion, everyone searched separately at the fork in the road.
Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, still looking for the road on the left.
Since today is a sunny day, there is plenty of sunshine.
Even though it was almost six o'clock, the sun was still shining in the forest.
In terms of geographical location, standing on the top of the mountain will see the sunset later than those standing at the bottom of the mountain.
So everyone is racing against time, trying to find the place where Sun Yunmei's body is buried as soon as possible.
I don't know how long I have been looking for it?The road in front of you is getting wider and wider until you see an open area in front of you.
The vegetation here began to decrease, but what was displayed in front of everyone was a small reservoir built in the mountains.
There are landscape corridors around the reservoir.
Since the current water level is not too high, many rare birds can be seen near the low water level, looking for various small fish and shrimps to prey on.
"It seems to have walked out of the mountains here." Lu Weiwei patted her aching legs, and reminded:
"Why don't we go back the same way first? I guess it's already dark when we get back to the Beiling Monastery."
"Yeah, I think we'll be here today." Police Officer Wang unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and said, taking a sip or two casually.
Yuan Shasha was going to take out the flashlight as a backup.
But at this moment, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that on the opposite bank of a reservoir embankment, a figure suddenly sat in the middle of the steps of the embankment.
Because the distance was too far, if Gu Chen hadn't paid a little attention, he might not have noticed the figure in the distance.
"There seems to be someone there." Gu Chen looked towards the other side and said.
"Where?" Yuan Shasha, who took out the flashlight, couldn't help but turned to Gu Chen.
But when he saw Gu Chen's eyes looking at the dam on the other side of the reservoir, he followed Gu Chen's eyes and looked into the distance.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei turned around quickly when they saw this.
The four stood on the edge of the reservoir, quietly observing the situation on the dam on the opposite bank.
Sure enough, after everyone observed hard, they did find a person sitting on the steps of the embankment on the opposite bank, who seemed to be meditating there peacefully.
"A monk?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say, "And... he seems to be meditating there?"
"Why don't you go and ask him?" Yuan Shasha also suggested.
Just as Gu Chen wanted to say yes, he saw the monk who had been meditating for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have finished meditating.
He was just beginning to swing his arms, sitting cross-legged and practicing kung fu.
"It seems that he is leaving soon, let's go around and ask about the situation." Gu Chen also couldn't wait, and Dang even asked everyone to follow immediately.
The four of them made a big bend along the edge of the small reservoir, and finally came to the monk's meditation position.
At this moment, the monk sitting cross-legged on the ground seemed to feel the movement around him.
At the same time when Gu Chen and the others arrived, he had just finished practicing kung fu, and everything was just right.
Afterwards, the monk put on his cloth shoes on the side, stood up, and bowed to Gu Chen and the others together: "Amitabha."
"It's you?" When Gu Chen saw the monk's face, he was also slightly taken aback: "Aren't you... aren't you the little master from the Beiling Monastery?"
Gu Chen also felt a little surprised, isn't this the little monk from the Beiling Monastery?
Before everyone came to the Beiling Monastery to look for Wu Qi, the little monk was still taking out the trash, and Wu Qi was also called out from the hall by the little monk.
But now, this little monk appeared on the dam of the reservoir, which made Gu Chen a little curious.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others, the little monk smiled slightly and said, "Several benefactors, are you looking for a female benefactor?"
"Uh... how do you know?" Lu Weiwei felt that the little monk was a little weird.
You know, when everyone left the Beiling Monastery last time, Gu Chen had told himself that Gu Chen said that he found that someone had been secretly observing him.
Moreover, when Gu Chen left the Beiling Monastery last time, he was at the end, and he also found out that he was being followed.
So, Gu Chen stopped for a short while, staring at the position behind, wanting to see who is following him?
But at that time, it seemed that the other party was also very calm, and after a long pause, he poked his head out, wanting to observe secretly.
But Gu Chen stared straight at him.
After being discovered by Gu Chen, the little monk was also very embarrassed, so he once took the initiative to come out, saluted Gu Chen and left.
It can be seen that the little monk is the sneaky person.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei had reason to conclude that the sudden appearance of this little monk was Wu Qi's arrangement?
So Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "You little monk, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Beiling Monastery?"
"Amitabha, where is the poor monk going? That is the freedom of the poor monk. It doesn't seem to hinder the female benefactor, right?"
"Uh……"
Faced with the little monk's rebuttal, Lu Weiwei seemed a little too naive, but she still didn't give up and said:
"To tell you the truth, we are searching for an old lady who disappeared in the North Ridge Monastery."
"And based on the clues we have so far, Master Wu of your Beiling Monastery has a strong relationship with this incident, so we are investigating."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei looked the little monk in front of him up and down, and said, "I heard that when we left the Beiling Monastery last time, you secretly observed us many times and followed us secretly. Is there such a thing?"
"Uh……"
Asked by Lu Weiwei, now it's the little monk's turn to be a little embarrassed, and he scratched his bald head in embarrassment, and said with a light smile:
"I think the female benefactor may have misunderstood a bit."
"Misunderstanding? You are not in the same group as this Wu Qi, are you?" Police Officer Wang looked at the little monk now, and he also felt a little suspicious.
After all, he was still dumping garbage at the gate of Beiling Monastery just now, but after a while, he appeared near the reservoir.
To say that the behavior is weird, that is also the past.
Seeing the four policemen treating themselves as suspects, the little monk gave a wry smile and continued to reply:
"Master Wu and I are not in the same group. It's just that you didn't reveal your identities when you came here last time. I'm curious about the identities of the few of you."
"After all, in our Beiling Monastery, many people's identities will be revealed to Master Wu."
"But you have always been mysterious, so out of curiosity, I want to know, what exactly do you do?"
After a pause, the little monk said again: "Later, I also asked Master Wu, but Master Wu did not reply me, saying that these are not my business, so..."
"So you are very interested in our every move in the Beiling Monastery? Then you have been observing secretly, even secretly following?" Gu Chen asked before the little monk finished speaking.
The little monk scratched his bald head again, and said in embarrassment: "It's really embarrassing what happened last time. After all, it's really not good to follow you, but I just want to know, what exactly do you do?"
"So out of curiosity, I want to hear what you have to say? That's why I followed all the way."
Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, the little monk said again: "It was a bit embarrassing to be discovered by this benefactor in the end."
"So? You know now." Gu Chen said.
The little monk nodded silently: "That's right, it's different from the last time you came here, as soon as you came to the gate of Beiling Monastery this time, you declared your family name."
"I just found out that you are all policemen. You must be investigating a case when you come here to find Master Wu."
"so……"
"So you followed us all the way here?" Yuan Shasha clicked her tongue.
Hearing the words, the little monk quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I didn't follow you. After you saw Master Wu, I went down the mountain after taking out the garbage, and came to this place all the way."
"Actually, I come here every day, just waiting for someone."
"What? Waiting for someone?" Police officer Wang didn't understand what the little monk meant, and asked again: "So, who are you waiting for? It can't be us?"
After the words fell, the little monk raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm waiting for you."
"Hehe." Hearing what the little monk said, Police Officer Wang was also happy: "Little monk, monks don't tell lies."
"You said you were waiting for people here every day, or were you waiting for us? Are we familiar with you? That's all you want to see us?"
"If you want to see us, then we have lived in Beiling Monastery twice, and you haven't seen you come to us on your own initiative, so what about this?"
Facing Police Officer Wang's ridicule, the little monk also smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited, benefactor, the poor monk is indeed waiting for you."
"I know that one day, someone will find this place after all, and that's why I'm waiting for you."
Hearing that the little monk seemed to have something in his words, Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and felt that the little monk seemed to know something, so he hurriedly asked him:
"Little master, do you know something?"
"En." The little monk nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "We are currently looking for a missing old lady, but we have no clue."
"Although we know that she may be near the back mountain of the Beiling Temple, we will have certain difficulties in finding her now."
Looking at the little monk up and down, Gu Chen said again: "Little master has been staying in Beiling all the time, and maybe he is very familiar with this generation, so I would like to ask the little master to be our guide and go with us to find this missing person. "
"Amitabha." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, the young monk standing in front of him grinned: "Benefactor Gu, you don't need to look for it anymore."
"You don't need to look for it anymore?" Gu Chen looked at his colleagues around him in confusion, and then looked at the little monk in front of him with a look of surprise, and asked him:
"Could it be that...you know where the missing old lady is?"
"En." The little monk put his hands together and nodded slightly.
"Really?" Lu Weiwei was a little shocked when she heard the words: "Then you know, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"You should hurry up and tell me, where is that missing old lady?"
"Female benefactor, don't get excited." The little monk looked indifferent, and shook his hands away from Lu Weiwei. Then his left hand was still in the shape of a vertical palm, and his right hand pointed to the bottom of the reservoir, and said:
"The person you are looking for is under this water."
"What did you say?"
"Under the water?"
"Is this old lady in this reservoir?"
When Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha heard the words, the three of them also looked surprised, feeling a little overturned.
When Gu Chen heard the words, he also hurriedly asked: "Little master, are you sure? Or did you see this old lady fall into the water with your own eyes?"
"Of course the poor monk saw it with his own eyes." The little monk said calmly.
But the more this happened, the more anxious everyone became.
Lu Weiwei grabbed the little monk again and kept shaking it.
Now I don't call him "Little Monk" anymore, but directly change to "Little Master".
"Little master, tell me quickly, how did you know that this old lady was underwater? How did you see it? This is very important to us, little master..."
Feeling that he was about to be shaken to pieces by Lu Weiwei, the little monk shook off Lu Weiwei's hands again, then looked at the bottom of the reservoir, and said with emotion:
"This matter starts from hearing the movement in the back mountain that day. That day, I was cleaning the back door of the Beiling Monastery, but suddenly heard a noise."
"I climbed near the wall and piled up some sundries, and I did hear the sound coming from the direction of the back mountain."
"So?" Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder and continued to ask the little monk while recording.
The little monk also sighed faintly, and then said again: "Later, I felt that the situation was not right."
"After all, few people go to the back mountain of this temple, because there are no stone steps here, so there are some original ecological trails, and it is very inconvenient to walk."
"But that day I heard a familiar voice, but I couldn't hear it clearly. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, just doing what I was supposed to do."
"But as time went on, I felt something was wrong."
"Not quite right?" Gu Chen looked up at the little monk, and continued to ask, "What are you talking about not quite right?"
The little monk thought for a while, and said directly: "First, a female benefactor walked through the Beiling Monastery from the direction of the back mountain with a surprised expression on her face."
"This female benefactor, I have seen many times at the Beiling Monastery, but this time, she did not come to the Beiling Monastery, but directly went down the mountain from the trail outside the Beiling Monastery."
After a pause, the little monk tried his best to recall, as if he was trying to piece together the memories at that time, and then said:
"I remember that she looked a little flustered, but what was the specific situation? I didn't know at the time, but after another hour, when I was sorting out the sundries in the backyard, I realized that Master Wu was walking from the back of the mountain with a solemn expression. Come."
"Then he found out, are you observing him?" Officer Wang asked.
The little monk shook his head: "He didn't notice it, and I didn't let him find it out. It wasn't until he walked into the yard through the back door that he found me working in the corner of the wall, so he didn't pay much attention."
"But then I discovered that that night, around midnight, when I was going to the toilet, I noticed a dark shadow stalking near the back door of the temple."
"I was curious at the time and wanted to know who this was? So I hid in a corner and observed secretly, only to find out that this person turned out to be Master Wu."
"Then what did Wu Qi do that night?" Yuan Shasha also asked him anxiously after hearing what the little monk said.
It feels like Wu Qi is sneaking around at night, so he must be going to the direction of the back mountain.
The little monk said with a solemn expression: "I didn't know at the time, so I wanted to follow the past to see the situation, and I also wanted to ask Master Wu if there is anything that needs help?"
"You can see that he walks very vigilantly and looks around from time to time. This is completely different from the Master Wu I usually see in the monastery."
"You mean demeanor and movement?" Gu Chen hurriedly interrupted and asked him.
The little monk nodded silently: "That's right, on weekdays, Master Wu walks very gracefully, but that night he looked hurried and even walked very vigilantly, as if he didn't want to be discovered by outsiders."
"So I didn't bother him at the time. After all, I was very curious, so I kept observing secretly. Only then did I find that Master Wu brought a sack and a bundle of hemp rope from the utility room."
"Taking advantage of the night when no one was around, one person sneaked out through the back door, and then headed towards the back mountain."
"Then you followed, right?" Lu Weiwei asked him.
The little monk nodded and admitted: "That's right, this is the first time I have encountered such a curious thing, so I didn't say hello to Master Wu, and I don't know what he is going to do when he is going out cautiously."
"So, I have been secretly following, and in order to avoid being discovered by Master Wu, I have kept a sufficient distance from him."
"In this way, I kept walking and stopping, and with curiosity, I came here all the way."
"Then what happened afterwards?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked again after completing the record.
The little monk shook his head, and said involuntarily: "Later, I found out that Master Wu had tied a big stone to the hemp rope, and then pushed the big stone and the sack down the embankment slope of the reservoir."
"And soon, this sack tied with hemp rope sank to the bottom of the water and never came up again."

(End of this chapter)
Inside the Zen room.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help coughing twice, and said solemnly: "Master Wu, I really don't know what to say about you?"
"If you are Wu Qi, you can give people various enlightenments and heal others' psychology."
"If you want to say that you are Master Wu, you are not worthy of virtue, full of hypocrisy, and all kinds of lies."
"You... what did you say?" Wu Qi was startled when he heard Lu Weiwei commenting on himself.
In his opinion, among the people who came to Beiling Monastery, no one dared to talk to him like this, and he felt that this girl was a bad visitor.
Lu Weiwei didn't follow him either.
What should be known, in fact, everyone in the Furong sub-bureau, with the cooperation of Sun Haifang, has already grasped enough clues.
But now it depends on Wu Qi's attitude.
If he took the initiative to confess, it would be okay to confess to burying Sun Yunmei's body, but if he insisted on denying it, everyone would have to despise him with their toes.
After all, this is the guru that the locals believe in.
What level does this belong in this circle?Basically, it is the same as ordinary people chasing stars.
In their eyes, Master Wu exists like a god, but if the human setting collapses one day, it is estimated that many people's beliefs will also collapse.
Fortunately, it was Wu Qi who took everyone to an empty room, otherwise, if these believers and practitioners heard it, they would probably collapse on the spot.
"Wu Qi." Gu Chen adjusted the law enforcement recorder, took out the transcript and looked up at him, "I ask you, did you kill Sun Yunmei?"
"You... what are you talking about? Aren't you talking nonsense?" Facing Lu Weiwei's question just now, Wu Qi already felt a little scared.
But now even Gu Chen continued to question him, feeling that the purpose of this group of policemen's trip was to question him.
Wu Qi is a little flustered now, but he still maintains the posture that a master should have.
After trying to calm down, Wu Qi took a deep breath and asked coldly: "Benefactor Gu, benefactor Lu, poor monk, I don't know what you mean?"
"Did Sun Yunmei be strangled to death by you in the back mountain?" Gu Chen asked him calmly.
Wu Qi immediately dodged his eyes.
Obviously, Gu Chen seems to know something?
But after thinking about it, Wu Qi realized that basically only he and Sun Haifang knew what happened in Houshan that day.
From this point of view, it seems that Sun Haifang betrayed herself?
With doubts, Wu Qi looked at Gu Chen in surprise.
Gu Chen also nodded and said: "It seems that you have already guessed it, that's right, Sun Haifang explained everything that should be explained, I think you don't need us to waste any more words, right?"
"Should I take the initiative to explain it myself, Master Wu?"
Gu Chen's last three words "Master Wu", Wu Qi himself felt full of ridicule when he heard it.
Indeed, Wu Qi is a little bit hard to get off now.
Just now, he was still the master of Beiling Monastery, but now, he has become a murderer.
But in the face of many policemen's questioning, Wu Qi not only didn't mean to explain, but snorted coldly, waved his hands involuntarily, and said:
"Benefactor Gu, did the benefactor Sun Haifang tell you all this?"
"Isn't it?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Wu Qi waved his hand and continued to smile: "I think you were all deceived by her, this female benefactor of Sun Haifang has something wrong with her mind."
After the words fell, Wu Qi pointed to his head with his finger.
Officer Wang sneered and said, "Wu Qi, don't act. Actually, Sun Yunmei didn't have any 18-year-old son. Her son died shortly after he was born. We all went to Qinghe Town, her hometown to investigate this point. There are also parties involved. can prove."
"But since her Sun Yunmei's son doesn't exist at all, there is no such thing as your Wu Qi's son and her son going to North Ridge to duel because of relationship problems. This is obviously a false proposition."
"But you just made up this unfounded thing to look like the real thing, and even caused us policemen to search for dead bodies on Beiling Mountain."
After the words fell, Police Officer Wang couldn't help laughing at himself: "I feel a little funny when I think about it now."
"You said that those of us who are police officers will be fooled by you. It seems that your morality is quite profound, and you are almost going to be fooled by you."
"Amitabha, good and good." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Wu Qi immediately put his hands together and put on a gesture of defense:
"The Wang benefactor's words are wrong. The poor monk is a responsible person, and monks don't lie."
"As for the things you said, who is the party involved? I guess it is also Sun Haifang's benefactor, who has long colluded with good people to frame me."
"Framed you?" Lu Weiwei suppressed her laughter when she heard it, "I said Master Wu, what did she, Sun Haifang, frame you for?"
"Or, you did some invisible things in this Beiling Temple? Some things are not visible?"
"Amitabha, Lu benefactor, is it a bit too much for you to tease me like this?" Wu Qi seemed to be anxious when asked, and immediately dropped his kind face just now, and his eyes became a little angry.
Of course Lu Weiwei didn't take this set.
I also know that Wu Qi will be impatient sooner or later.
Master Wu, who has been called for so many years, is now a murderer in front of the police.
This is unacceptable to anyone.
Master Wu is the same.
But after the words fell, Wu Qi found that Lu Weiwei didn't respond to him, and when he was still staring at him as if watching his performance, Wu Qi was startled and felt a little embarrassed.
"Wu Qi, you said Sun Haifang framed you? Why did she frame you?" Gu Chen also asked him curiously.
Wu Qi suddenly snorted twice, and also put on a posture of a master, and said slowly:
"Does it need to be said? Although I am called Master Wu, I never think so."
"In my opinion, the so-called master is just a title. In fact, I prefer to be an ordinary monk, giving advice to others and alleviating their various anxieties in life."
After a pause, seeing that everyone did not interrupt, Wu Qi said again: "For example, people like Sun Haifang's benefactor, oh, of course, she is not the only one."
"Many female benefactors wanted to get close to me. At first, I didn't feel too much surprise, but one day, when I was explaining my doubts to female benefactor Sun Haifang in the meditation room, she suddenly said to me."
"Let me return to vulgarity and go down the mountain with her to live my life."
"Really?" Listening to Wu Qi's words, Lu Weiwei also frowned, feeling that this was very interesting.
Wu Qi also nodded silently, and echoed: "Of course it is. She said that she has lived alone for many years, and she has long been disappointed in life."
"Later, she met me in this Beiling Temple. She thought I was her guide. At first, she always wanted to find a wife to spend the rest of her life, but she never found a suitable one until she met me later."
"She thinks this is fate, and if she can spend the rest of her life with me, then she will die without regret."
With a faint sigh, Wu Qi also shook his head helplessly: "Amitabha, you said that the poor monk is just a monk, how could he return to the vulgar life with Sun Haifang's female benefactor?"
"So?" Gu Chen asked him.
"So?" Wu Qi smiled, shook his head and said, "So of course the poor monk refused. Not only that, but I also enlightened Sun Haifang's female benefactor to let her give up this idea as soon as possible."
"I didn't expect that Sun Haifang's benefactor not only refused to listen, but also came to harass me time and time again."
"If it wasn't for Sun Haifang's friendship with the poor monk, I would have called the police a long time ago, but after she was rejected by me many times, she started spreading rumors."
"What did she say?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"She said..." Wu Qi put on an angry gesture, and said in a bad mood: "She said that if I don't return to the vulgar and live with her, then she will make me eat and walk around."
Frowning, Wu Qi also put on a puzzled attitude, and said a little aggrieved: "At first I didn't know what the benefactor Sun Haifang meant by saying that?"
"But it wasn't until you went up the mountain to find the poor monk that I realized that she actually found such an excuse to slander me."
At the end of the speech, Wu Qi put his hands together again, frowned and said: "Amitabha, you are so good."
"It's also the poor monk's responsibility for failing to enlighten Sun Haifang's female benefactor. It's just that I didn't expect that this matter would involve your police. I'm really sorry."
The voice fell, and the scene was quiet again for a few seconds.
It was as if the air had stood still.
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others still didn't respond, Wu Qi looked very embarrassed for a moment.
Gu Chen looked at Wu Qi, and also smiled slightly: "Your reason sounds true, but you have to know that you can lie, but your account can't."
"According to Sun Haifang, you have received huge amounts of property from others for a long time, and you have also opened a private account."
"Over the past few years, you have been fooling some people under the guise of being a guide, giving you crazy and expensive gifts."
"What I saw in your meditation room that night is already the best proof, and this may be only a small part of the valuables that you have no time to deal with."
After a pause, Gu Chen also said truthfully: "It can be seen that you have received a lot of these valuables. The deposit in your personal account should be quite a lot, right?"
"Amitabha, goodness is goodness." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Wu Qi was a little impatient, and quickly retorted:
"Benefactor Gu, you are insulting me when you say this about me. This poor monk cannot accept it."
"Whether you can accept it or not is not up to you." Lu Weiwei watched Wu Qi argue for a long time, and felt that this person's acting skills had reached the peak.
Before coming to the North Ridge Temple, Lu Weiwei had already thought about it, which method would Wu Qi use to argue?
It can be seen that it is now fulfilled.
Wu Qi made it clear that he didn't want to cooperate, and he didn't want to tell Sun Yunmei where Sun Yunmei's body was buried.
Lu Weiwei said a little angrily: "Wu Qi, your identity will not change. We will investigate all your bank accounts based on your identity, including who have you been in contact with?"
After thinking for a while, Lu Weiwei suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Oh, by the way, you asked Sun Haifang to find a workshop that specializes in making old, and got an old photo frame. This is to fool our police."
"So that our police think that this is really the portrait of Sun Yunmei's son, but you must know that since we have captured Sun Haifang, we can use Sun Haifang to find that person."
"And I also told you that our people have set off and are inviting those people to the police station for tea. I think you should know that you all know these people."
"If it is said that everyone is lying and you are the only one who is telling the truth, then I really admire how they managed to lie and frame you without any precautions."
"Or is everything they said the truth? And you are the only one lying? Master Wu?"
"Uh……"
Asked by Lu Weiwei, Wu Qi was immediately very embarrassed.
Indeed, according to common sense, this situation is simply impossible.
And Gu Chen still has to investigate his bank account.
You know, these things can be investigated by the police through some channels.
Now Wu Qi seems a little speechless.
Fortunately, the police haven't found Sun Yunmei's body so far, and they haven't come up with the results of their investigation yet.
Wu Qi took a deep breath, sighed faintly, then folded his palms together, and murmured: "Amitabha, since several benefactors are unwilling to trust the poor monk, then the poor monk has nothing to say, everyone, please go back."
"Go back?" Officer Wang was amused when he heard it, and said in a bad mood: "You didn't tell us where Sun Yunmei was buried, so you let us go back? Do you think our trip was for nothing? We have to take it with us no matter what. Go back with the result?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk has already said that this matter has nothing to do with the poor monk. Everything is framed by the benefactor Sun Haifang. The poor monk has nothing to say. Please go back, everyone?"
Wu Qi now put on a posture of unwillingness to cooperate, especially after closing his palms, he quickly entered a state of immersive meditation.
No matter what Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha asked, Wu Qi would not answer any more.
Thinking that Wu Qi was about to break the pot, Police Officer Wang was also a little angry.
But Gu Chen waved his hand to signal everyone to leave the room.
When everyone came outside the meditation room, Police Officer Wang quit at that time, and said angrily, "Gu Chen, this guy is clearly lying."
"I know." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
"Then you let him continue to pretend to be stupid like this?" Officer Wang asked again.
Gu Chen smiled lightly and replied, "Senior Brother Wang, have you forgotten what we thought before we came here?"
"Before you came here?" Police Officer Wang was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly recalled the various discussions everyone had in the office before, and suddenly remembered that in fact, everyone never thought that Wu Qi would confess by himself.
Even if all relevant personnel are brought to confrontation, so that Wu Qi's bank account transfer records are found, as long as Wu Qi insists that he did not kill the murderer, and refuses to reveal the specific location of Sun Yunmei.
Then it will be difficult for the police to take the next step if they arrest him.
Officer Wang sighed heavily, and asked Gu Chen, "Then we can only find it by ourselves now?"
"Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, I can only find out by myself." Gu Chen also told the truth.
No matter how Wu Qi hides the whereabouts of the corpse, Gu Chen guesses that he may be able to rely on trace theory to reason, and he can always find some tricks.
Afterwards, Gu Chen said to Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe, "You two stay here and keep an eye on Wu Qi."
"Where Wu Qi is going, where are you going, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Hearing Gu Chen's confession, the two also echoed in unison.
After arranging the affairs here, Gu Chen immediately counted the number of people, and took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Officer Ding, Huang Zunlong and Ding Liang together and walked towards the back mountain with tools.
According to Sun Haifang's account, the murder happened under a pine tree in the back mountain.
And before coming here, Gu Chen also asked Sun Haifang to confirm the exact location of the incident on the satellite map.
Therefore, Gu Chen led the crowd, but only walked down the first slope in the direction of the back mountain, and found the location Sun Haifang explained on the first slope.
"It should be here." Gu Chen walked under the pine tree, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that Sun Haifang is not lying, there is indeed a pine tree here."
"That is to say, this Sun Yunmei was killed here?" Lu Weiwei stood on the spot and looked around, feeling that the slope did block the view of the Beiling Monastery.
And here, the slope can also block the sound source very well.
Officer Wang said impatiently: "What are you waiting for now? Hurry up and search the place where Sun Yunmei's body is buried before dark."
"Otherwise, when it gets dark, we won't be able to start working again, so let's start quickly."
Police Officer Wang said this, but he was actually quite helpless. It was almost 5 pm when he came to the mountain, and he wasted a lot of time during the questioning with Wu Qi.
It's okay for Wu Qi to explain himself, but this guy is a dead duck right now, and he can carry it for a day.
Although all kinds of evidence can show that Wu Qi has been lying, he still has his own trump card.
That was Sun Yunmei's body.
After all, according to Sun Haifang's own confession, when Wu Qi buried the body of his sister Sun Yunmei that day, he once sent him away.
So now only Wu Qi knows where Sun Yunmei's body is buried.
Therefore, Wu Qi is an old fox, and his cunning is far beyond everyone's imagination.
Maybe this kind of smart person also knows that he will have such a day?
But if he still has this trump card in hand, it will be very difficult for the police to actually convict him.
After all, if the body cannot be found, then all the results of the previous investigation may be overturned.
After all, Wu Qi also went to college.
In that era, going to college was tantamount to a representative of high IQ.
It can be seen that facing these policemen, Wu Qi does have his own way.
Of course, Gu Chen also believed that it was impossible to find Sun Yunmei's body in the direction of the back mountain of Beiling Monastery in just one night. This is unrealistic.
But the search has to continue.
For this reason, all of them carried luggage bags and equipped with many outdoor living materials.
Everyone planned to search until dark, and then returned to Beiling Monastery, planning to enter the mountain early tomorrow morning.
Gu Chen also activated his master-level observation skills, preparing to concentrate on finding some useful clues through some subtle traces.
But after searching for half an hour, Gu Chen also found some clues.
That is, on the small path in the back mountain, Gu Chen did find some suspicious drag marks.
Many plants have traces of being crushed and broken.
Although it has been nearly a month since this incident, the recovery of these plants is far from undiscoverable.
After passing through a forest, a fork in the road soon appeared.
Everyone froze in place immediately.
Gu Chen took out his phone and clicked on the phone map.
Before everyone came here, they also investigated the corresponding topographical maps, so Gu Chen also stood in place to confirm and said:
"Going from the right side, you will go to another place in the valley, and you will also lead to another road. If you go to the left side, you will go to the North Ridge parking spot, which is also the direction to return down the mountain, and we need soldiers now. In two ways."
"How about it." Police officer Ding looked at the fork in front of him, and also took the initiative to ask Ying: "I will take Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to the right to look for it, and you go to the left."
"Everyone finds it until it gets dark, and then returns the same way."
"Whether you find it or not, you will go back a long way and gather at the Beiling Monastery, what do you think?"
"Yes." Facing Police Officer Ding's proposal, Gu Chen readily agreed, "The night in the mountains is more dangerous, so don't try to be brave."
"Go back if you can't find it. It's not too late to find it tomorrow, so let's do it."
After a brief discussion, everyone searched separately at the fork in the road.
Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, still looking for the road on the left.
Since today is a sunny day, there is plenty of sunshine.
Even though it was almost six o'clock, the sun was still shining in the forest.
In terms of geographical location, standing on the top of the mountain will see the sunset later than those standing at the bottom of the mountain.
So everyone is racing against time, trying to find the place where Sun Yunmei's body is buried as soon as possible.
I don't know how long I have been looking for it?The road in front of you is getting wider and wider until you see an open area in front of you.
The vegetation here began to decrease, but what was displayed in front of everyone was a small reservoir built in the mountains.
There are landscape corridors around the reservoir.
Since the current water level is not too high, many rare birds can be seen near the low water level, looking for various small fish and shrimps to prey on.
"It seems to have walked out of the mountains here." Lu Weiwei patted her aching legs, and reminded:
"Why don't we go back the same way first? I guess it's already dark when we get back to the Beiling Monastery."
"Yeah, I think we'll be here today." Police Officer Wang unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and said, taking a sip or two casually.
Yuan Shasha was going to take out the flashlight as a backup.
But at this moment, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that on the opposite bank of a reservoir embankment, a figure suddenly sat in the middle of the steps of the embankment.
Because the distance was too far, if Gu Chen hadn't paid a little attention, he might not have noticed the figure in the distance.
"There seems to be someone there." Gu Chen looked towards the other side and said.
"Where?" Yuan Shasha, who took out the flashlight, couldn't help but turned to Gu Chen.
But when he saw Gu Chen's eyes looking at the dam on the other side of the reservoir, he followed Gu Chen's eyes and looked into the distance.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei turned around quickly when they saw this.
The four stood on the edge of the reservoir, quietly observing the situation on the dam on the opposite bank.
Sure enough, after everyone observed hard, they did find a person sitting on the steps of the embankment on the opposite bank, who seemed to be meditating there peacefully.
"A monk?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say, "And... he seems to be meditating there?"
"Why don't you go and ask him?" Yuan Shasha also suggested.
Just as Gu Chen wanted to say yes, he saw the monk who had been meditating for a long time, and suddenly seemed to have finished meditating.
He was just beginning to swing his arms, sitting cross-legged and practicing kung fu.
"It seems that he is leaving soon, let's go around and ask about the situation." Gu Chen also couldn't wait, and Dang even asked everyone to follow immediately.
The four of them made a big bend along the edge of the small reservoir, and finally came to the monk's meditation position.
At this moment, the monk sitting cross-legged on the ground seemed to feel the movement around him.
At the same time when Gu Chen and the others arrived, he had just finished practicing kung fu, and everything was just right.
Afterwards, the monk put on his cloth shoes on the side, stood up, and bowed to Gu Chen and the others together: "Amitabha."
"It's you?" When Gu Chen saw the monk's face, he was also slightly taken aback: "Aren't you... aren't you the little master from the Beiling Monastery?"
Gu Chen also felt a little surprised, isn't this the little monk from the Beiling Monastery?
Before everyone came to the Beiling Monastery to look for Wu Qi, the little monk was still taking out the trash, and Wu Qi was also called out from the hall by the little monk.
But now, this little monk appeared on the dam of the reservoir, which made Gu Chen a little curious.
Seeing Gu Chen and the others, the little monk smiled slightly and said, "Several benefactors, are you looking for a female benefactor?"
"Uh... how do you know?" Lu Weiwei felt that the little monk was a little weird.
You know, when everyone left the Beiling Monastery last time, Gu Chen had told himself that Gu Chen said that he found that someone had been secretly observing him.
Moreover, when Gu Chen left the Beiling Monastery last time, he was at the end, and he also found out that he was being followed.
So, Gu Chen stopped for a short while, staring at the position behind, wanting to see who is following him?
But at that time, it seemed that the other party was also very calm, and after a long pause, he poked his head out, wanting to observe secretly.
But Gu Chen stared straight at him.
After being discovered by Gu Chen, the little monk was also very embarrassed, so he once took the initiative to come out, saluted Gu Chen and left.
It can be seen that the little monk is the sneaky person.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei had reason to conclude that the sudden appearance of this little monk was Wu Qi's arrangement?
So Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked, "You little monk, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Beiling Monastery?"
"Amitabha, where is the poor monk going? That is the freedom of the poor monk. It doesn't seem to hinder the female benefactor, right?"
"Uh……"
Faced with the little monk's rebuttal, Lu Weiwei seemed a little too naive, but she still didn't give up and said:
"To tell you the truth, we are searching for an old lady who disappeared in the North Ridge Monastery."
"And based on the clues we have so far, Master Wu of your Beiling Monastery has a strong relationship with this incident, so we are investigating."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei looked the little monk in front of him up and down, and said, "I heard that when we left the Beiling Monastery last time, you secretly observed us many times and followed us secretly. Is there such a thing?"
"Uh……"
Asked by Lu Weiwei, now it's the little monk's turn to be a little embarrassed, and he scratched his bald head in embarrassment, and said with a light smile:
"I think the female benefactor may have misunderstood a bit."
"Misunderstanding? You are not in the same group as this Wu Qi, are you?" Police Officer Wang looked at the little monk now, and he also felt a little suspicious.
After all, he was still dumping garbage at the gate of Beiling Monastery just now, but after a while, he appeared near the reservoir.
To say that the behavior is weird, that is also the past.
Seeing the four policemen treating themselves as suspects, the little monk gave a wry smile and continued to reply:
"Master Wu and I are not in the same group. It's just that you didn't reveal your identities when you came here last time. I'm curious about the identities of the few of you."
"After all, in our Beiling Monastery, many people's identities will be revealed to Master Wu."
"But you have always been mysterious, so out of curiosity, I want to know, what exactly do you do?"
After a pause, the little monk said again: "Later, I also asked Master Wu, but Master Wu did not reply me, saying that these are not my business, so..."
"So you are very interested in our every move in the Beiling Monastery? Then you have been observing secretly, even secretly following?" Gu Chen asked before the little monk finished speaking.
The little monk scratched his bald head again, and said in embarrassment: "It's really embarrassing what happened last time. After all, it's really not good to follow you, but I just want to know, what exactly do you do?"
"So out of curiosity, I want to hear what you have to say? That's why I followed all the way."
Looking at Gu Chen in front of him, the little monk said again: "It was a bit embarrassing to be discovered by this benefactor in the end."
"So? You know now." Gu Chen said.
The little monk nodded silently: "That's right, it's different from the last time you came here, as soon as you came to the gate of Beiling Monastery this time, you declared your family name."
"I just found out that you are all policemen. You must be investigating a case when you come here to find Master Wu."
"so……"
"So you followed us all the way here?" Yuan Shasha clicked her tongue.
Hearing the words, the little monk quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I didn't follow you. After you saw Master Wu, I went down the mountain after taking out the garbage, and came to this place all the way."
"Actually, I come here every day, just waiting for someone."
"What? Waiting for someone?" Police officer Wang didn't understand what the little monk meant, and asked again: "So, who are you waiting for? It can't be us?"
After the words fell, the little monk raised his head slightly, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm waiting for you."
"Hehe." Hearing what the little monk said, Police Officer Wang was also happy: "Little monk, monks don't tell lies."
"You said you were waiting for people here every day, or were you waiting for us? Are we familiar with you? That's all you want to see us?"
"If you want to see us, then we have lived in Beiling Monastery twice, and you haven't seen you come to us on your own initiative, so what about this?"
Facing Police Officer Wang's ridicule, the little monk also smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited, benefactor, the poor monk is indeed waiting for you."
"I know that one day, someone will find this place after all, and that's why I'm waiting for you."
Hearing that the little monk seemed to have something in his words, Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds and felt that the little monk seemed to know something, so he hurriedly asked him:
"Little master, do you know something?"
"En." The little monk nodded slightly.
Hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly said again: "We are currently looking for a missing old lady, but we have no clue."
"Although we know that she may be near the back mountain of the Beiling Temple, we will have certain difficulties in finding her now."
Looking at the little monk up and down, Gu Chen said again: "Little master has been staying in Beiling all the time, and maybe he is very familiar with this generation, so I would like to ask the little master to be our guide and go with us to find this missing person. "
"Amitabha." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, the young monk standing in front of him grinned: "Benefactor Gu, you don't need to look for it anymore."
"You don't need to look for it anymore?" Gu Chen looked at his colleagues around him in confusion, and then looked at the little monk in front of him with a look of surprise, and asked him:
"Could it be that...you know where the missing old lady is?"
"En." The little monk put his hands together and nodded slightly.
"Really?" Lu Weiwei was a little shocked when she heard the words: "Then you know, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"You should hurry up and tell me, where is that missing old lady?"
"Female benefactor, don't get excited." The little monk looked indifferent, and shook his hands away from Lu Weiwei. Then his left hand was still in the shape of a vertical palm, and his right hand pointed to the bottom of the reservoir, and said:
"The person you are looking for is under this water."
"What did you say?"
"Under the water?"
"Is this old lady in this reservoir?"
When Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha heard the words, the three of them also looked surprised, feeling a little overturned.
When Gu Chen heard the words, he also hurriedly asked: "Little master, are you sure? Or did you see this old lady fall into the water with your own eyes?"
"Of course the poor monk saw it with his own eyes." The little monk said calmly.
But the more this happened, the more anxious everyone became.
Lu Weiwei grabbed the little monk again and kept shaking it.
Now I don't call him "Little Monk" anymore, but directly change to "Little Master".
"Little master, tell me quickly, how did you know that this old lady was underwater? How did you see it? This is very important to us, little master..."
Feeling that he was about to be shaken to pieces by Lu Weiwei, the little monk shook off Lu Weiwei's hands again, then looked at the bottom of the reservoir, and said with emotion:
"This matter starts from hearing the movement in the back mountain that day. That day, I was cleaning the back door of the Beiling Monastery, but suddenly heard a noise."
"I climbed near the wall and piled up some sundries, and I did hear the sound coming from the direction of the back mountain."
"So?" Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder and continued to ask the little monk while recording.
The little monk also sighed faintly, and then said again: "Later, I felt that the situation was not right."
"After all, few people go to the back mountain of this temple, because there are no stone steps here, so there are some original ecological trails, and it is very inconvenient to walk."
"But that day I heard a familiar voice, but I couldn't hear it clearly. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, just doing what I was supposed to do."
"But as time went on, I felt something was wrong."
"Not quite right?" Gu Chen looked up at the little monk, and continued to ask, "What are you talking about not quite right?"
The little monk thought for a while, and said directly: "First, a female benefactor walked through the Beiling Monastery from the direction of the back mountain with a surprised expression on her face."
"This female benefactor, I have seen many times at the Beiling Monastery, but this time, she did not come to the Beiling Monastery, but directly went down the mountain from the trail outside the Beiling Monastery."
After a pause, the little monk tried his best to recall, as if he was trying to piece together the memories at that time, and then said:
"I remember that she looked a little flustered, but what was the specific situation? I didn't know at the time, but after another hour, when I was sorting out the sundries in the backyard, I realized that Master Wu was walking from the back of the mountain with a solemn expression. Come."
"Then he found out, are you observing him?" Officer Wang asked.
The little monk shook his head: "He didn't notice it, and I didn't let him find it out. It wasn't until he walked into the yard through the back door that he found me working in the corner of the wall, so he didn't pay much attention."
"But then I discovered that that night, around midnight, when I was going to the toilet, I noticed a dark shadow stalking near the back door of the temple."
"I was curious at the time and wanted to know who this was? So I hid in a corner and observed secretly, only to find out that this person turned out to be Master Wu."
"Then what did Wu Qi do that night?" Yuan Shasha also asked him anxiously after hearing what the little monk said.
It feels like Wu Qi is sneaking around at night, so he must be going to the direction of the back mountain.
The little monk said with a solemn expression: "I didn't know at the time, so I wanted to follow the past to see the situation, and I also wanted to ask Master Wu if there is anything that needs help?"
"You can see that he walks very vigilantly and looks around from time to time. This is completely different from the Master Wu I usually see in the monastery."
"You mean demeanor and movement?" Gu Chen hurriedly interrupted and asked him.
The little monk nodded silently: "That's right, on weekdays, Master Wu walks very gracefully, but that night he looked hurried and even walked very vigilantly, as if he didn't want to be discovered by outsiders."
"So I didn't bother him at the time. After all, I was very curious, so I kept observing secretly. Only then did I find that Master Wu brought a sack and a bundle of hemp rope from the utility room."
"Taking advantage of the night when no one was around, one person sneaked out through the back door, and then headed towards the back mountain."
"Then you followed, right?" Lu Weiwei asked him.
The little monk nodded and admitted: "That's right, this is the first time I have encountered such a curious thing, so I didn't say hello to Master Wu, and I don't know what he is going to do when he is going out cautiously."
"So, I have been secretly following, and in order to avoid being discovered by Master Wu, I have kept a sufficient distance from him."
"In this way, I kept walking and stopping, and with curiosity, I came here all the way."
"Then what happened afterwards?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked again after completing the record.
The little monk shook his head, and said involuntarily: "Later, I found out that Master Wu had tied a big stone to the hemp rope, and then pushed the big stone and the sack down the embankment slope of the reservoir."
"And soon, this sack tied with hemp rope sank to the bottom of the water and never came up again."
