When they returned to the City God Temple again, it was Li Yi who was alone, Fang Ting and Han Ying went to the welfare home, their original plan was to go to the welfare home after burning incense in the morning, after all, the children were going to play games during the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhou Xiaoyan was forced by Li Yi to send food to Yan Ming, Li Yi suspected that she would not go home for the New Year, so what was the matter if she had to pester herself?

So Li Yi could only open the F egg and go to the City God Temple again.

It was already afternoon, there were no pilgrims in the temple, and the Taoist priests were cleaning up the garbage all over the floor after eating, and they were holding water pipes to extinguish the incense burning fire. As soon as Host Li saw Li Yi, he was very enthusiastic, and dragged him to the backyard to ask how the investigation was going on by the city bureau.

Li Yi didn't say much to him, only that the money had been dispersed, and it would be difficult to recover it, unless the scammer himself could be found.

Host Li looked disappointed and muttered that he blamed him for not noticing the situation.

"Don't worry, aren't the police still watching the surveillance? Maybe you can find the guy with the QR code. Li Yi said, "Now the police can use face recognition to identify themselves, as long as there is a positive photo, the scammer can't run away from him!"

"Alas, I hope I can find it......" Host Li is not very confident.

"By the way, you're so busy today, do you have enough manpower?" Li Yi asked in a roundabout way, because before the internal ghost was ruled out, all the people in the City God Temple were suspicious, and even this Li presided over Li Yi had to be suspicious!

"If there were only a few people, it would definitely not be enough. Host Li said, "But fortunately, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are some familiar pilgrims who volunteer to help, and the temple owners and shareholders will also arrange people to help, barely able to sustain ......."

"Temple owner shareholder?" Li Yi blinked, but it was the first time he had heard of it.

"Oh, Mr. Li doesn't know about this situation?" "How can I say it, the current temple is like a company, some are collective enterprises, and the temple property is owned by all the Taoist collectives, and some are shareholder......

"Well, what about such a statement?" Li Yi smiled bitterly, "This is a good business." ”

"How can this be considered a business, it's all for the sake of offering to the gods and Buddhas. Host Li said with a dry smile, "Besides, there are also people who invest in building temples now, but they are running for money, and the gods and Buddhas are unwilling to bless them, and the temple is not effective, so naturally there will be no pilgrims, let alone making money, and there will be no money left!"

Li Yi nodded and smiled, but he had a calculation in his heart, no one else can do this work, but we have this condition, if the incense wants to work, it's a big deal to send the old way and the shadow to sit in the town? One is the old way of the Tao when he is alive, and the other is the shadow of the Buddha who has been condensed for hundreds of years before it takes to take shape, not to mention anything else, let them send a spirit lot......

"Mr. Li?" Seeing that Li Yi was distracted, the host called softly.

Li Yi came back to his senses and smiled dryly, then turned back to the topic and asked, "What about the finances of the temple? Who is usually responsible for the merit box?"

"The finance of our temple is the daughter of one of the shareholders, and we usually collect it once every three days, and if we catch up with the fifteenth day of the new year, we will open the box and collect the money in the afternoon of the same day. The host said, "Do you suspect that it is the QR code posted by the financial department on the merit box? This is impossible, before opening the mountain gate this morning, I also checked it deliberately, and I didn't find anything wrong, well, there is also monitoring, the police who checked the monitoring just now also said, although there are many people who can't see clearly, but the QR code should be posted after half past seven in the morning, before half past eight, when the pilgrims in the temple are already crowded and can't walk......

Li Yi pondered for a while, and through this conversation, it seemed that Host Li did not behave abnormally, and his suspicion could basically be ruled out. So he spread it out directly and said: "I analyzed it, you see, the liar can think of coming to the temple to post a QR code, obviously knowing that there are many pilgrims in the temple today, and there is also a lot of merit money, otherwise it would not be so laborious, and the plan is so precise, it is very likely that the ghost did it, after all, ordinary people who would have thought that the incense money in the temple could earn so much......"

"No," Host Li said a little dumbfounded: "The people in the temple are all believers, how can they not do such a thing......

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm just guessing. Li Yi said, "Let's analyze and analyze together, are there any people who know the income in the temple, but don't know much about the roots?"

"I can't say this well......" Li said, "There are many people who know the income of the temple, in addition to the Taoists in our temple, the shareholders also know it, and the people of the Administration also know, not to mention who is going out to talk more, then it is even more boundless......"

Li Yi was also embarrassed when he heard this, although most people may not think of how profitable the temple is, but this is not a secret. As for choosing to start on the first day of the new year, as long as you are a pilgrim, you know that there are the most people on this day......

was thinking about how to narrow down the scope of suspicion, but there were two Taoist priests and a Taoist aunt walking at the door.

Dao Gu is not very old, that is, she is in her thirties, but the two Taoist priests are carrying a huge cloth bag, but the bulging bag is a little thicker than the two of them combined.

"Oh, this is the accountant in our temple. Host Li glanced outside the door and said.

Li Yi stood up as soon as he heard this, and when he went out, he saw that Dao Gu was holding the key to open the door of the opposite wing.

"Xiaozhen, are you done?" Host Li greeted the Dao aunt.

"No," Dao Gu said, "This is only the main hall and the courtyard to the east, and the west side has not been there, so it can't fit ......."

"Hehe, there are more people this year than last year, alas, if it weren't for the QR code, it is estimated that more ...... could be charged" Host Li sighed.

"It's already a lot, and it feels like it's even more than last year. Dao Gu said, and asked the two Taoist priests to help carry the cloth bag into the house.

Li Yi also reacted that the bag was full of money, how much money could be held in such a big bag? Even if the amount of money donated for incense was generally not large, it could not withstand the size of this cloth bag......

"Hurry up, don't bother, you two......" Dao Gu urged the two Taoist priests to leave quickly, took an empty cloth bag and went to the west side hall to continue emptying the merit box.

But one of the Taoist priests was hanging, and said, "Sister, can you rest for a while, there's no one else here, let me smoke a cigarette and go again......

Li Yi frowned, but Host Li explained in a low voice: "None of them are Taoist priests in the temple, they are just temporarily wearing Taoist robes for convenience." ”

When Li Yi heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter......
