Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Chapter 52 The Unsolvable Mystery
In order to make it easier for officials to sweep graves and pay respects to their ancestors, Hanshi and Qingming court courts were granted a seven-day holiday. Unexpectedly, because of Murong Ke's suggestion for a visit, the three of them spent the busiest and most fulfilling Qingming Festival ever.

"After being interrogated by Hu County, the woman's name was Qi Niang. She claimed to be a disaster victim, but the government could not find out her household registration. She admitted to killing Sun Xiaoling by accident, but insisted that she came to Shanshen Temple 20 years ago to replace her predecessor. The actor. Do you think she is immortal? Unfortunately, she committed suicide last night, and after this death, your guess cannot be verified. "

"Xiao Zhang also told me this morning."

"What? You said she committed suicide?" Bai Sanxiu who had just entered the door couldn't help exclaiming.

"What's delicious? Let me see. Hey, it's green onion porridge."

"This is for Si Zhi." Bai Sanxiu avoided Murong Ke's hand with the tray, "You can eat the dessert."

"Stingy. Why, Huiming isn't well yet? It's been a few days."

"Still having a fever, from time to time. The doctor said that it might be because the cellar has been damp and airless all year round, and the corpses have been stored for a few days, producing some poisonous gas. Si Zhi stayed in there for a long time and worked hard for days, so he got infected."

After the night at the Shanshen Temple, because it was already late, the three of them went to Hu County to rest. That night, Li Guan started to sweat and chills, and soon developed a high fever.Now on the third day, his condition is still not very stable.

"This guy has been like this for a long time. If he doesn't get sick, he will just lie down."

Bai Sanxiu handed the tray to Li Quan, and asked again: "Just now you mentioned Si Zhi's conjecture...do you suspect that the woman is also from the Longevity Sect?

"That's right, but there's no evidence. If she aged and died suddenly in prison like He Ye in the Luozhou case, it may prove that now that she is dead, her identity will always be a mystery." Murong Ke ate Dim Sum said inarticulately, "But only if this conjecture is true can it explain everything."

Just as Murong Ke said, if Qi Niang really came to the mountain temple 20 years ago, the villagers would have thought that Miao Zhu was played by a human being anyway, so there is no need for her to conceal her identity.Being so afraid of Sun Xiaoling finding out the truth shows that her real situation is by no means as simple as she confessed.Bai Sanxiu couldn't help shivering when he thought of the "old man's smell" that sometimes disappears.

Murong Ke asked again: "I think Hu County has closed the case like this. What do you plan to do with the remaining doubts?"

Li Quan, who was usually seldom talkative, was even more reticent because of his illness. He drank the decoction in one gulp and replied succinctly: "I have presented the situation to Mr. Guo, and he will decide."

"Then Mr. Guo is probably going to have a big head. The Longevity Sect was a sensation back then, but if it is brought up again now, it might make people feel uncomfortable."

Li Quan was speechless and just drank green onion porridge.Seeing beads of sweat oozing from his forehead again, Bai Sanxiu almost wanted to wipe it off for him, but suddenly realized that there was a pair of narrow eyes staring at her beside her, so she stopped quickly, and instead stuffed the square scarf into Li Quan's hand .

"I heard that the night I returned to the city, you stayed on the mountain all night..."

"Ahem, I said Mr. Murong, if it's okay, why don't you go back first?" Bai Sanxiu raised his voice and interrupted him, "Si Zhi has a fever again, let him rest."

Murong Ke raised his eyebrows high, but seeing that Li Quan was indeed tired and his face was a little red, he let the two of them go first, got up and said goodbye.When leaving, I didn't forget to pack all the snacks and rob them.

Li Quan was also really unwell, after letting Bai Sanxiu back down, he lay down again, and soon felt hot all over, but deep inside his body, waves of chill surged up again.The world fell into a coma, and the torment of extreme heat and extreme cold seemed to bring him back to his childhood...
