Chapter 158 The Monk Xuyun
Early the next morning, Chu Qing went for a walk again while Li Tianxiao was going to court.

She went to Beizhen Fusi first, and saw Zhong Xuan approaching.

Zhong Xuan blushed when he saw her: "You, why did you run away yesterday? I'm not so stingy..."

Chu smiled lightly: "Did the matchmaker invite you?"

Zhong Xuan glanced at her: "Why didn't you know you were so bad before?"

Chu Qing laughed twice, causing Jin Yiwei who passed by to look this way frequently, Zhong Xuan was embarrassed, and hammered her on the shoulder.

Chu Qing was beaten back a few steps: "Brother Zhong, you are going to beat your future uncle to death."

When Zhong Xuan heard the phrase "Brother Uncle", he blushed completely: "You boy... Hurry up, go, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, don't dangle in front of my eyes..."

Chu Qing smiled: "Now I'm starting to despise my brother-in-law, aren't you afraid that my brother-in-law will wear small shoes for you in the future?"

Zhong Xuan: "..."

He blushed almost to the point of smoking.

Chu Qing had had enough teasing, so she accepted it when she saw it was good, and soon went back and changed her clothes to go to the Ministry of Punishment.

As soon as she walked to the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, she saw the Yatou was about to leave in a hurry, saw Chu Qing, and said in surprise: "Master Yu, are you here? Your lord is about to send his subordinates to look for you!"

Chu Qing walked over: "What's the matter? But the monk who asked you to check yesterday has a clue?"

The yatou nodded: "Yes, yes! Master Yu has a solution. Yesterday we listened to his orders and went to investigate the marriage temple and the monks around it. We really found some useful clues."

"Oh?" Chu Qing looked at the people coming and going in the Ministry of Punishment, "Let's talk to Mr. Zhen first."

Yatou is completely obedient to Chu Qing now, and following Master Yu is the key to solving the case.

When Chu Qing arrived in the lobby, she saw Master Zhen and Master talking about something. Seeing Chu Qing, Master Zhen got up quickly: "Brother Yu, come over and have a look, and show me if Xuyun is suspicious? If so, we We can start arresting now!"

Chu Qing didn't answer, but took the list, which was filled with some dharma names.

There are several temples near the capital.

Among the monks under Fahua Temple, a monk named "Xu Yun" was specially marked.

Chu Qing asked: "What happened to Xuyun?"

Master Zhen: "Brother Yu, didn't you ask me to investigate the situation of these disciples before they became monks? I didn't report my hope at that time, so I asked the people below to go to the host to get it. The hosts refused to talk about the past. The past is empty, but as soon as I mentioned the serial rape and murder case, they brought out all these records. I took a look, good guy, and really found some weird things."

Chu Qing: "Oh? Let's talk about it, why is it weird?" Chu Qing said while looking at the list of ordinary people. It said that Xu Yun was ordained and became a monk three years ago. He was originally from a village in Qiaoyan far below. Before he became a monk, his name was Yan Xiong. Three years ago, he was seventeen, and this year happened to be weak.Five years ago, I worked as a long-term worker in a rice farm in the capital, and returned to Qiaoyan Village twice every other month. It was only three years ago that something happened around me, and I suddenly quit my long-term job, and even sold myself to the rice farm. It's a pity that nothing happened later, and then he became a monk directly in Fahua Temple.

Chu Qing's eyes fell on the three words Qiaoyan Village, and then she looked at Xuyun's age, and she thought a little bit in her heart.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhen said: "Brother Yu, do you know where the oiran Tianxiang was from before entering the Manchun Courtyard?"

Chu Qing bent her fingers and tapped the tabletop: "From Qiaoyan Village?"

Master Zhen's eyes widened: "It's really strange, brother Yu, you are really amazing, how do you know?"

Chu Qing: "Your Excellency, if you say there is something weird, it is related to the murder case. Since it is a murder case, it is naturally these three victims. The two people who came later are both from the capital, so it can only be Tianxiang."

Lord Zhen nodded again and again: "Brother Yu, you are right. Today Tianxiang is indeed from Qiaoyan Village. Her name is Yan Xianglan. She is an outsider. She was originally from a scholarly family. Her biological father failed in business and committed suicide soon after being poor. Her biological mother took her to seek refuge with her aunt, and after the famine was gone, she moved to Qiaoyan Village with her uncle and aunt. After staying for many years, Xuyun and Tianxiang were neighbors before becoming a monk, that is, childhood sweethearts. Three years ago, Yan Xianglan My uncle gambled badly and sold Yan Xianglan without any money to pay back. It was too late when Xuyun went back to see Xianglan from the outside. She had already been sold and there was no turning back. Xuyun wanted to redeem her How could it be so easy to come back? Later, she became a monk in a fit of anger. This Xianglan used to be from a scholarly family, but she knew a little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She was taken by the old bustard and trained for three years. She became an oiran... However, she followed Xu Yun and got in touch with her a year ago. When Xu Yun went down the mountain for alms, every other month he would go to the Manchun Courtyard to meet Tianxiang, and at that time Tianxiang would He said he was sick and refused to pick up customers. That day happened to be the day when Xiang met the little monk, so... this Xuyun must be the most suspected of committing the crime!"

After Chu Qing listened, she frowned: "Since this Xuyun was willing to become a monk for Tianxiang, why did he suddenly kill her?"

What's more, he raped and killed two people in succession later?

"This..." Mrs. Zhen was also asked, "Maybe... maybe it's because the bustard wants to sell her first night?"

"Huh?" Chu Qing was taken aback.

Lord Zhen coughed softly: "Brother Yu, you don't know, Tianxiang was sold out at fourteen, and now it's exactly seventeen, so this old bustard wants to make a fortune before she gets old. Originally, she planned to sell it for a month. It was auctioned later... I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

Chu Qing has already raised her hand, holding her elbow with one hand, and raised her other hand, pointing her fingertips on her side face.

His eyes fell on one place, obviously thinking about Master Zhen's previous words: "You mean... Xu Wu will go to see Tianxiang every other month?"

Master Zhen nodded: "Yes."

Chu Qing hummed: "That's right."

"Huh? What?" Master Zhen was taken aback, but he didn't understand what Chu Qing meant.

Chu Qing: "In the first murder case, when the murderer killed Tianxiang, he did it seamlessly. He couldn't find any evidence of crime, nor did he leave any clues. From Tianxiang's maid to Mixiang, there was no evidence of alibi. At that time, I It's just strange, all of this seems too coincidental. How did he know that Tianxiang was ill for a few days, and the maid who was close to him just happened not to be by his side. Now that there is a person like nothingness, everything will be logical."

Master Zhen was stunned, apparently he hadn't turned his head around yet.

Chu chuckled and said: "I'm afraid that the other party accidentally found out about Tianxiang and nothingness, and knew that they would meet on the night of the accident, so he waited for Tianxiang to call himself sick and dismiss the maid so that nothingness could come in for a private meeting, but she didn't What I thought of was that it wasn't nothingness that came, but the murderer. When she wanted to struggle, she might have been poisoned by Mixiang and fell down, which also allowed the murderer to succeed." The smile on the corner of Chu Qing's mouth gradually condensed, and this Was the murderer trying to kill Tianxiang and the others alone, or...just killing for the sake of killing?People who provoke the yamen, or the thrill of killing?

Master Zhen was dumbfounded: "Brother Yu...you mean, the murderer is not nothingness? But, but he has the time and suspicion to commit the crime."

Chu Qing: "Send someone to bring nothingness to the Yamen first. I have a hunch that nothingness is not the murderer." However, her intuition is useless, and she still needs to look at the evidence.

But she doesn't believe that a person who is willing to sell himself just to get more money to redeem his lover, or even an infatuated person who knows that he can't save his lover from suffering and escapes into Buddhism, will really kill his lover at all costs.

At least... Chu Qing doesn't believe it.

What's more, besides Tianxiang, there were two other victims.

Mr. Zhen didn't think so much, but when he heard that Chu Qing agreed to arrest him, he hurriedly urged Yatou: "Hurry up and bring someone to arrest? Make sure you don't let that nothingness escape!"

The yatou immediately went out with a group of yamen servants.

Chu Qingdao: "I didn't really regard him as a murderer. Master Zhen, please sit down first. Since it was the day when Wu Wu went to see Tianxiang, then he must have gone, but he was not seen at the scene. Then , whether he saw anything at the time may not be known."

Master Zhen was slightly stunned: "Brother Yu, what do you want to know from this nothingness?"

Chu Qing hummed: "Speaking of which, there is one thing I haven't told Lord Zhen all this time."

Master Zhen: "What's the matter?"

Chu Qing: "Tomorrow is the sixth day."

Master Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then thanked him: "Speaking of which, thanks to brother Yu, the emperor saw that the case has progressed, and was willing to give me a few more days, otherwise...hey, I'm afraid that Wu Sha will really lose this time. It's just... the sixth day?"

Chu Qing unfolded the files on the side, and put the first murder case on the left: "Victim No. 1, who died seventeen days ago. This is No. 2, who died before eleven days ago. This is No. 3. Five days ago. So, Master Zhen still can't see anything?"

Master Zhen stared blankly at the three files, then looked at the date of death on them, and then thought of the sixth day that Chu Qing said earlier, his expression changed: "Brother Yu, what do you mean to say that this murderer kills you every six days?" Kill someone?"

Chu Qing's eyes darkened: "I hope it's not what I thought. Therefore, we must be fully prepared. If the murderer is not nothingness, then I am afraid that another victim will appear tomorrow, so... we must make sure that before tomorrow... , to find clues to the murderer."

Otherwise, another young girl will be sacrificed.

This is not what Chu Qing wants to see.

Master Zhen's face is gloomy, the situation is so bad now, people in the capital are in panic, if another one dies...

Master Zhen couldn't help touching his black gauze, feeling that the black gauze that had just been worn firmly might become unstable again.

Chu Qing has been standing in front of the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, looking at the bamboo forest outside through the window lattice, her brows are lightly raised, she doesn't know if it's a psychological hint, but she always feels a faint feeling of daring in her heart at this moment.
