Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 37 Temple

At noon, Wang Shigui and others found Yang Qian again. They had a certain amount of admiration on their faces, but also more doubts.

After a morning of repeated interrogation, Cao San and the others were not tortured in the end, but they were all scared to death. They answered whatever they were asked.

Judging from the experience of Wang Shigui and others, what the four said was true and there was no concealment.

But it turns out that these four people were not the murderers who killed Yao Fang's family!

And what these four people said about the Five Funeral Beast Eagles were not lies they deliberately made up, but their true feelings.

Compared to before, ever since Yao Fang obtained the Five Zombie Beasts, they felt themselves getting weaker every time they met Yao Fang, and both their spirit and luck declined significantly.

"Master Yang, Cao San, Jiang Jiang and the Zhou brothers do not seem to be the murderers. There are no flaws in their words. If it is true as they said, their purpose of going to Wu Qing can also be explained from the side. On the one hand, they envy Yao Fang and also want to buy a set of Five Funeral Beasts Sculptures. At the same time, they also hope to use this method to counter Yao Fang and prevent him from using the Five Funeral Beasts Sculptures to steal their Five Fortunes.

However, there was no news about the current whereabouts of the beast sculpture, and it was impossible to tell whether the increasingly mysterious things these people were saying were true.

Master Yang, what do you think we should do next? "

It seemed that after going around in circles, everything had returned to the starting point. The case was at a stalemate again, and all the clues that had been sorted out previously were stuck.

Yang Qian was also feeling annoyed. He had not expected that things would change so drastically. Although the case, which originally seemed to be going smoothly, did make some progress, it led to another direction that he had never expected. After losing the previous information support, it became very difficult to move forward.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that the Five Funeral Beasts Sculpture in Yao Fang's hand is unusual, and it should be the cause of the annihilation of Yao Fang's family.

But as for the murderer, I have no clue.

"Let's arrange it again. We must have missed something at the beginning."

"But Master Yang, we have already sorted out all the relevant information about Yao Fang, including twice before. It is unlikely that there are any omissions." Zhao Qian was very sure this time. He was confident and serious, and there was no possibility of omissions.

Yang Qian nodded and said, "Since everyone related to Yao Fang has been sorted out, let's change someone."

"Ah? I don't quite understand."

"Don't understand? Four people died in Yao Fang's family. You have checked Yao Fang's related information twice, and you think there will be no omissions. Then change people to continue the investigation. The eldest daughter Yao Hui and the youngest son Yao Zheng are too young, and the people around them are highly overlapped with their parents, so there is no need to investigate separately. Then check the things related to Yao Fang's wife, Yao Lin.

Even outsiders like Cao San, Jiang Jiang, and the Zhou brothers could sense something was wrong with Yao Fang, and they all had a bad impression of the changes in Yao Fang after he got the Five Funeral Beasts. Do you think Yao Lin, who was with Yao Fang day and night, would also have the same feelings?

If so, what would Yao Lin say? What would she do? Would she talk to someone she trusted about this matter? "

As Yang Qian spoke, his eyes lit up, not to mention Wang Shigui and others.

Yes!

Before, they had been keeping a close eye on Yao Fang, especially after they found out that Yao Fang was full of suspicious points, they put all the clues on her, while ignoring Yao Fang's wife, Yao Lin.

Therefore, Wang Shigui and others began to shift the focus of the investigation to Yao Linshi.

Compared to Yao Fang, Yao Lin's social relationships were simpler, and it took only half a day to figure them out. And there were indeed new discoveries.

Yao Fang's wife's real name is Lin Shu. Both she and Yao Fang are from other places and settled in Sandao City. So there is no relationship between them. Moreover, Lin Shu's personality is quiet. Yao Fang is responsible for the outside affairs while she is responsible for the inside affairs. Apart from hanging out with neighbors, she basically does not socialize much on weekdays.

Lin Shu's hobby or especially interest was to worship gods. She was a believer in a temple in Sandao City. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, she would go to the small temple to offer some rice and oil, and pray for her family.

"What temple?"

"The Qingyue Temple in the south of the city."

Speaking of temples, they are essentially no different from the temples in Yang Qian's memory of another world. They all take the path of attracting believers and waiting for opportunities to make profits.

But the difference is that the gods enshrined in the temples in this world are all different, with almost no overlap. The gods in each temple are different, and no one dares to say that the gods in them are made up out of thin air and are fake.

Because the gods in these temples are all extracted from the legends related to various immortal gates. There are predecessors and sages in the immortal gates who claim to have "ascended", as well as powerful immortals in the legends related to the immortal gates.

In the final analysis, they all have a real basis. Who dares to say they are false? It is equivalent to denying the foundation of the immortal sect. Ordinary people do not have such courage, even those in the official position do not have it.

Some temples even have the faintest inkling of immortals directly involved. Who dares to mess with this?
The Qingyue Temple is one such temple with the participation of immortals, and it is also one of the famous temples in Sandao City.

There is a deity enshrined in the temple, named "Jiuxiao Dexian Zhenjun" whose origin is also extraordinary. He is an ascended immortal from the Five Thunder Palace on Leiming Mountain.

Disciples from the Five Thunder Palace would come to Qingyue Temple from time to time to give lectures. The last time they came was twenty years ago.

"Lin Shu used to go to Qingyue Temple with the housewives of the neighborhood, and they would all go to pray for blessings from a monk named "Xun Yi" in the temple. But in the past six months, Lin Shu has used the excuse that she had something to do and did not go to the temple with others, but went alone."

"Master Yang, do you think that Lin Shu might have disclosed Yao Fang's affairs to the Qingyue Temple's mage, and then something bad happened?"

"It's hard to say. But Lin Shu must have let it slip. Otherwise, there would be no need to leave the neighbors who used to travel with her to go to the temple alone to pray for blessings."

Yang Qian frowned and paced around the room. This was not going to be easy when it came to the temple's magicians.

People like Cao San can take it back for questioning directly, but you can't treat a mage like this.

"Let's go ask around the temple first. Lin Shu is an old believer, so there must be someone who knows her. Maybe we can find something. Also, don't let the news spread beyond the police station for the time being. The temple is different from other places, and alerting the enemy is not a good idea."

Just as Yang Qian came up with a new plan, Wang Shigui and others gathered together again the next day.

It was indeed as Yang Qian said, Lin Shu was an old believer, and the vendors around the temple all knew her. So with a little inquiry, one could find out what had happened to Lin Shu in the past six months.

However, according to her neighbors, Lin Shu went to the temple alone to pray and offer tributes, but the vendors around the temple described her in a different light.

"Recently? She sometimes comes alone and sometimes with her husband."

"Her husband is also a believer in the temple, but he seldom came before. In the past six months, he has come more frequently. Sometimes the couple came together yesterday, and he came alone the next day. He is sincere!"

"How could I not know her husband? He's Carpenter Yao! He does a lot of work in the temple, and he doesn't even collect wages from the temple for most of it! He's a good man."
