The wife of the power minister's family

Yao Shaoyin immediately nodded and said: "Yes, if Master Xuanyin wants to fake the appearance that she is in the room, she can only do everything during the time when the two little nuns go to the hut. Just now we asked the two little nuns , they all said that they didn't go to the latrine for long, because they were worried that Master Xuanyin would come to them for something, so they all ran back and forth, which took no more than a quarter of an hour at most.

Master Xuanyin had to take out the hidden doll within a quarter of an hour, arrange it in the room and leave secretly. It was certainly impossible to hide the doll too far away.

Moreover, we just sent people to ask. Although this is the backyard, and ordinary pilgrims will not come here, there are often many overnight pilgrims living in the backyard. If Master Xuanyin placed the doll somewhere other than this courtyard , she had to leave the yard and move the doll in from outside. This behavior was too eye-catching, and she might bump into other little nuns or other people living here. "

They also specifically asked if there was any ban in Jingyuan Nunnery preventing others from approaching the courtyard where Master Xuanyin lived. All the young nuns said there was no such thing.

Except for not entering the residence of Master Xuanyin and other young nuns at will, there are no clear prohibitions in other places.

When pilgrims check in, they will also familiarize them with the environment here and tell them where they are not allowed to enter.

This shows that the only place that Master Xuanyin has complete control over is her own courtyard.

Xu Jing was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Go outside the yard and bring the doll in...

Walk outside the yard...

Suddenly, a flash occurred in her mind, as if she had caught something. However, before she could think about it, the government servant responsible for searching other parts of the courtyard came over, saluted them and said: "Yao Shaoyin, Madam Xu, let's search every place in this courtyard." I searched every corner and found nothing wrong!"

Even though he had a vague premonition, Yao Shaoyin still felt disappointed.

He gritted his teeth and said without giving up: "Search again, this time, I will search with you!"

With that said, he took the lead and strode forward.

Xu Jing was about to follow her when she saw Master Xuanyin, who was standing diagonally in front of her, suddenly turned around and looked at her intently with a pair of eyes. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth curled up, and her eyes that were extremely cold at this moment released another wave of emotion. It's obviously ridiculing and cold-hearted.

Xu Jing clenched her hands hanging by her sides suddenly, and couldn't help but sneered secretly.

This guy, call her arrogant, but she has the ability to be arrogant.

She is indeed smart, cautious, and courageous.

Rather than saying she is arrogant, it is better to say she is conceited.

She believed in her abilities and looked down on them, the investigators, from the bottom of her heart.

Her initial feeling was correct.

If we cannot convict her today, it will be difficult to convict her later.

She looked at Master Xuanyin coolly for a while, then turned and walked away.

She did not continue to follow Yao Shaoyin and others to search other places, but walked slowly around the yard, trying to recapture what had just flashed in her mind.

Judging from the current situation, it is indeed unlikely that Master Xuanyin would hide things outside the yard, because it would be easily seen when she moves in. After all, if her and Yao Shaoyin's guesses were correct, the doll Master Xuanyin used as a stand-in was adult-sized. Even if she covered it with cloth, it would definitely attract others' attention.

You couldn't hide something outside the yard, so where did she hide it?

It must be a place that she felt they would never expect.

A place they didn't expect... In other words, they now think that the thing is in the yard, maybe they fell into her trap!

Their initial idea was wrong!

That thing is not in this yard!

Xu Jing's heart suddenly stopped, and her heart jumped.

Yes, they have entered into a misunderstanding from beginning to end - for the murderer, what he cares about most is not where the thing is hidden, but how to move it around without being discovered!

If the murderer had a way to move it without being noticed, this thing wouldn't necessarily be hidden in this yard!

But it can't be too far away, because the issue of time cannot be changed.

Moving it without being noticed makes it impossible to go through the main entrance!

Even the door the murderer walked through may not have been the door at all!

Xu Jing quickly looked around the yard, and her eyes suddenly locked on the persimmon tree in the upper left corner of the yard that was taller than the roof.

It snowed just the morning before yesterday. Because there has been no sun these days, the accumulated snow has not melted.

The little nun in Jingyuan Nunnery is very diligent and has cleaned up the snow on most of the main roads in the nunnery. The same is true in Master Xuanyin's courtyard.

However, what makes people feel strange is that there is basically no snow even on the persimmon tree in the yard. Unless it has been specially cleaned, how could there not be any snow on such a tree with many branches?

She turned her head and saw Jinglian standing nearby. She quickly called her over and said, "When you clean the snow, do you also clean the snow on the trees?"

Jinglian was stunned, seeing Xu Jing's eyes looking at the persimmon tree aside, and immediately understood why she asked, shook her head and said: "Normally not, but master has very high requirements for the environment in the yard, we are cleaning master He will be extra diligent when walking in the yard, even knocking the snow off the trees with a long pole."

When Xu Jing stopped in front of the persimmon tree, she saw Master Xuanyin not far away from the corner of her eye. For the first time today, she slowly put away the smile on her face, and her eyes were cold. Look at her.

She curled her lips and looked at Master Xuanyin who was not far away openly, while saying: "Then knocking the snow off the trees, is that your master's request?"

Jinglian also noticed something at this time, bit her lip uneasily, and said: "Yes...Master has specifically asked us to clean the snow on the trees..."

Snow is a very troublesome thing for criminals, because it will record all traces of the murderer very honestly, and large-scale snow is not something that the murderer can handle if he wants to.

Master Xuanyin was very clever before, and in turn used this characteristic of Xue to forge evidence that the victim committed suicide.

However, for her, the snow on the tree was obviously not a tool she could use, but an obstacle to her existence, so she specially asked someone to clear it away.

Why would it hinder her?

Because she wants to use this tree to do something, and the snow on the tree will leave traces of what she did!

Xu Jing raised her head and looked at the roof next to the tree.

What's on the roof?

She quickly turned her head to call Yao Shaoyin over. A strong black shadow suddenly flashed in front of her. She was slightly startled, and turned her head subconsciously to see Jiang Yu already clinging to one of the branches. Lisuo jumped up easily.
