Chapter 45 Unravel, the truth of the Lingzhu Temple case

"Have you guessed what happened to Lingzhu Temple a year ago?!"

Liang Wan'er didn't believe it, she had completely forgotten about having a dream just now, her eyes were full of surprise: "Stop lying, it's only been a day!"

"That's right, it's been a day, and I should have guessed it." Jiang Chaoge nodded.

"You...Okay, then tell me, what happened in Lingzhu Temple a year ago?" Liang Wan'er pouted and asked very dissatisfied.

"Before I say it, can I ask Miss Ji a question?" Jiang Chaoge replied.

"Ask." Ji Ruxue nodded.

"When was Lingzhu Temple built?"

"The third year of 260 in the Great Qin calendar." Ji Ruxue said directly without even thinking about it.

really!Jiang Chaoge is now certain, because he checked the river god file, which records that the first time the river god was discovered was the fourth year of the Great Qin calendar.

One year after Lingzhu Temple was built, the River God appeared.

Moreover, judging from the speed of Ji Ruxue's answer, Ji Ruxue also knew very well about the Lingzhu Temple, which also confirmed his second guess.

After thinking up to this point, Jiang Chaoge spoke directly: "I guess, the source of this matter is the River God!"

"River God?!"

Liang Wan'er stared blankly at Jiang Chaoge.

And Ji Ruxue moved her fingers slightly, and then she asked, "You mean, there is a connection between the River God and Lingzhu Temple?"

"Of course, the River God was brought from the west by the first abbot of Lingzhu Temple!" Jiang Chaoge affirmed.

"Oh? Why do you have such a guess?" Ji Ruxue narrowed her eyes.

Liang Wan'er also stared round her eyes at this time.

Obviously, she was a little confused.

Jiang Chaoge said directly: "Lingzhu Temple was built in 260 of the Daqin calendar, and the river god was discovered in 64 years. There is only one year between the two, and Lingzhu Temple happened to be built on the river bank, so I have made such a guess."

After finishing speaking, he added: "There are two reasons. First, the location of Lingzhu Temple is not very good. It makes sense to say that there will be a lack of silver taels in the early stage."

"However, after the completion of Lingzhu Temple, the incense has been at its peak. There are more than [-] pilgrims a day, and the incense money will naturally not be low. But why haven't they moved away from the river bank? Monitoring the river god is a very good reason."

"Secondly, I found some traces under the cliff. I found that the River God had appeared under the cliff of Lingzhu Temple more than once, or that He appeared there very frequently. The combination of the two created such a guess."

"So, based on these two points, you can be sure that the River God was brought over by the first abbot of Lingzhu Temple?" Ji Ruxue asked with interest.

"I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm sure."

"Oh? Why?"

"Because, I guess that since Miss Ji brought up the matter of Lingzhu Temple to test me, it means that Miss Ji must know something that was not recorded in the river god file, and when I said this thing just now, you didn't act like that. I was too surprised, and I knew that my guess was right."

"..."

Ji Ruxue was stunned for a moment.

Is this using me to confirm a guess?

Liang Wan'er was also stunned for a long time before she realized: "You...you martial artist! You are cheating, Sister Ji declares him unqualified!"

"Scrutinizing facial features and playing games psychologically have always been the basic skills of headhunters. I don't think this is cheating." Jiang Chaoge was very calm.

"Really?" Ji Ruxue's expression changed slightly, and her tone was not kind: "Then what if I judge you to be unqualified just because of this?"

"You won't." Jiang Chaoge shook his head.

"Why wouldn't I?" Ji Ruxue pressed her every step of the way.

"Because, if Miss Ji is really an old-fashioned and pedantic person, she won't recruit someone who judges the case based on 'guessing' into the Night Investigation Division, and she will also promise a bronze flag position."

"..."

Liang Wan'er looked at Ji Ruxue.

Her mouth opened, as if to say, Sister Ji, don't be fooled!
This warrior is slapping your ass, declare him disqualified.

But Ji Ruxue had already laughed at this time.

"Hehe, I like Erlang more and more. Well, you guessed right, the River God was indeed brought here by Lingzhu Temple, but you still haven't said what happened to Lingzhu Temple a year ago, have you?"

"Sister Ji!" Liang Wan'er said anxiously, "You... how can you say that you like him? It's easy for him to misunderstand!"

"Really? Erlang, have you misunderstood?" Ji Ruxue did not reply to Liang Waner's words, but turned to Jiang Chaoge and asked.

"I didn't misunderstand." Jiang Chaoge smiled: "Miss Ji really likes my talent, and I do have the ability to make Miss Ji like it."

"Hahaha..." Ji Ruxue smiled even more happily.

"You, you... you are mad at me!"

Liang Wan'er gritted her teeth, she didn't want to talk anymore.

Unless you can't help it!
Jiang Chaoge naturally didn't care about Liang Wan'er's opinion, and continued: "With the first guess, then I can boldly make a second guess. I guess that the relationship between Lingzhu Temple and the River God is probably a master-servant relationship. !"

"Master and servant? Who is the master and who is the servant?" Ji Ruxue asked again.

"Since the River God was brought here by Lingzhu Temple, it means that Lingzhu Temple has the means to control the River God. Therefore, I guess Lingzhu Temple is the master and the River God is the servant!"

"Go on."

"After the completion of Lingzhu Temple, the incense has been extremely prosperous for decades. I guess the real reason for this is the river god."

"You mean, for decades, what people have worshiped in Lingzhu Temple is not the Buddha, but the river god? Did the river god help the pilgrims realize their wishes?"

"Yes."

"It's kind of interesting, this guess is getting more and more interesting." Ji Ruxue's face became even more smiling: "According to what you said, some conflicts arose between the God of the River and the Lingzhu Temple in the end because of some kind of conflict of interests. Then, the river god devoured the Lord and killed the [-] monks in Lingzhu Temple?"

This is the obvious thing!

Jiang Chaoge saw Kongxiang fighting with the River God. If the River God didn't kill one hundred and eight monks, who else could it be?Kongxiang obviously wants to avenge the one hundred and eight monks.

Just about to nod.

But suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

Not only because Ji Ruxue directly said the 'answer', but more importantly, Ji Ruxue just mentioned 'benefits'.

This made him feel that there are two places that are not very reasonable.

First, if the river god is really popular in the world, then, although they are named master and servant, they are actually using each other. In this way, the river god has no reason to devour the master.

Second, if the River God really devoured the Lord and killed the [-] monks in Lingzhu Temple, then, after devouring the Lord, He has already gained freedom, so why does he continue to stay near Lingzhu Temple?
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chaoge's mind instantly recalled the scene of the battle between Kong Xiang and the River God.

Kongxiang was obviously injured that time, but River God still let him go. If there was really an unresolvable enmity between River God and Kongxiang, why did they stop suddenly?
Is it because of the second river god in Lingzhu Temple?

It is possible, but there should be another reason, that is, the River God may not really have to kill Kongxiang.

So, it wasn't the Lingzhu Temple monks killed by the River God!

Jiang Chaoge suddenly came to his senses, but if it wasn't for the River God...

Who will it be?

He frowned, quickly sorting out the clues in his mind, recalling all the events about the river god in his memory, and then, he suddenly remembered something.

When Wu Qijiu was dragged into the water by the God of the River, he seemed to be saying: "I killed the wrong person, I killed the wrong person... I am Wu Qijiu, Gu Gu Gu Gu... let me go..."

Killed the wrong person? !

He didn't say "don't kill me", but "killed the wrong person"? !

For a moment, a terrifying thought flashed through Jiang Chaoge's mind.

The moment this idea appeared, he felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar, and his back felt a chill involuntarily.

impossible!
How can it be?

How can this be? !
It turned out to be... the Mo family! ! !
