"What's the difference?" I asked Li Jing.

"She knows it and wants to mislead us, it's a lie, but she knows it but doesn't want us to know it's called concealment." Li Jing explained what she said just now, "Of course, there is another situation that she is protecting someone, she said that she has always thought that Cao Mei died by suicide, probably to eliminate the adverse effects, and the school did not tell them the truth, so Zhu Mu should have believed what she had seen." But when we debunk the facts, I guess she has her own thoughts about Cao Mei's death, we don't know what she was thinking, but looking at her hesitation, one point should be focused on the place of their graduation trip, which is the temple they went to. She had said that they lived separately at the temple, which meant that she did not know about the other incense room. ”

"But." I struggled for a moment, "I mean, Sister Zhu Mu is not involved in this matter, right?" I'm referring to the suicide of her roommate. "I remember that Sister Zhu Mu was very gentle, she was naughty and made trouble with her when she was a child, she never lost her temper, I believe that even if they had a dispute with Cao Mei, then Sister Zhu Mu would definitely not be included in it.

Maybe looking at my depressed appearance, Li Jing didn't say anything to make me depressed, but judging from his attitude, he seemed to be suspicious of Sister Zhu Mu, and the two of us sat at the table after breakfast and silently swiped our mobile phones.

When I was swiping the screen, I had an idea: "Brother Li Jing, why don't you check the monitoring of the location where Sister Zhu Mu saw the ghost, according to the date that Sister Zhu Mu can probably recall, as long as there is monitoring at that location, you can see who is using the ghost to take revenge." If you can be lucky enough to record the front of the person who is pretending to be a ghost and let Sister Xiao Mu identify it, won't you know the suspect in the case? ”

Li Jing chuckled: "We have checked it before, and at the time point provided by Zhu Mu, we repeatedly checked the video of her saying that there was a ghost, just like yesterday when I went to check the situation on the highway, but it was in vain." ”

"Could it be that my sister remembered something wrong?" I'm still clinging to the last vestiges.

Li Jing shook his head: "Whether it's a mistake or for some reason she doesn't want us to know, we can't find any useful clues in the materials she provided." ”

"Sister Zhu Mu is also in danger now, why do you have to treat her as a suspect?" I got angry, not only did I not control the volume, but the person also stood up with the volume.

"Until the investigation of the case is clear, including the deceased as defined now, I am the object of suspicion." Li Jing was not infected by my excitement, and waved his hand to signal me to sit down quickly, "You calm down first, you are completely immersed in your feelings now, if you really want to help her, you yourself have to calm down first and find clues from the implementation to prove that she has nothing to do with these things." ”

"You." I realized that I was too excited now, and it was true that as Li Jing said, I lost my mind because of Sister Xiao Mu's affection. If you think about it further, it may be because I myself am also suspicious of Sister Xiao Mu's previous vagueness.

"We have personally tested the time between the two cities last night, if they also take the high-speed train or bullet train, it will take about 6 hours to go back and forth, about 2 hours from the station to their school dormitory, and the station to the temple where Zhu Mu and the others have visited will take 1 hour at the earliest, and if any of them have ever come out halfway, it will take 9 hours on the journey. Although this assumption is not particularly realistic, it is important to understand the timing of the temple for pilgrims. Li Jing glanced at his watch, "At this time, the temple should be in the morning class, I estimate that when we arrive, they should have just finished the morning class." ”

It was less than 5 o'clock, which was too early, and I walked out of the restaurant with him: "But when we passed, it wasn't yet public opening hours." ”

"Team Xiao called in advance and made arrangements, we shouldn't need to buy tickets."

"That's not what I'm talking about." I really admire Li Jing's brain circuit.

"But you didn't reply, you were struggling with spending money."

Li Jing's final rebuttal also left me speechless, I am indeed more calculating gold.

It is said that it is because there is a women's dojo that can accept female pilgrims that they choose to stay here, going to scenic spots during the day and staying in the women's dojo at night to participate in evening classes. Li Jing and I knocked on the door, and a little novice in the door knew what we were coming for, folded his hands and said "Amitabha" to us, and then led us into the monastery: "Master said that he has been waiting for you for a long time. The little novice who led the way in front turned around and said.

"Your master knows we're coming?" I was a little surprised, and then I thought about what Li Jing just said that the team had already made arrangements for us, and I should have only found out after receiving a call yesterday.

"Before receiving the call, Master had said that someone would come to him to ask him about the past." The little novice did not look back and pointed to the reception room of the temple in front of him and said, "The master is waiting for you there, I will leave first." ”

"Huixin, don't be naughty." There was a scolding from inside, and it was not particularly harsh, presumably it was the master in the mouth of Xiao Shami. Little Shami stuck out his tongue and waved us in.

We walked into the reception room, an elder with fairy wind and bones was waiting for us with his eyes closed, and when he heard our door pushing, the old man stood up: "You are the benefactor who came to find the poor monk today." Just now the apprentice was a little stubborn, but it was not out of his original intention, but it was just the nature of a child of this age, and the offended place was to ask the two to be a pig Duoduo. The poor monk Dharma name Xuanming, I received a call yesterday to know that the two donors came back today to ask me about what happened 3 years ago. ”

I have never experienced this kind of scene, but I have a feeling that I have crossed over. After some pleasantries, Li Jing and I sat down opposite the abbot, and the little novice who had just led the way came in with tea.

Seeing Xiao Shami, Li Jing turned his head and asked Master Xuanming, "Abbot Xuanming, I heard your apprentice Huixin say just now that you already knew that we came back to investigate what happened three years ago. ”

Master Xuanming glanced at the little novice reproachfully, and the little novice touched his bare head and ran away. Master Xuan Ming watched him run out of the house before answering Li Jing's question: "It doesn't matter when I know, what matters is the answer you want to know, donor." ”

Li Jing smiled: "But I still want to know if the abbot predicted that one day we would come back here to dig out the truth because he saw what I wanted to know." I have always believed that the reason why the elder is familiar with astronomy, geography, and even predicts things in the future must be because his experience is helping him, and the reason why he can understand life is because he has witnessed the joys and sorrows of too many people. ”

Master Xuan Ming smiled and nodded: "This donor seems to have understood many of the mysteries. You might as well talk about your speculation first, and the old man is judging your speculation based on the events of the year. ”

Master Xuan Ming didn't seem to want to tell Li Jing the truth all at once.

Li Jing also smiled and nodded: "Then Li will talk about his humble opinion first." Since you knew from the beginning that someone came back to ask about what happened 3 years ago, you must have found something at the time, but no one asked you, but you weren't sure what these things would have caused, so you kept the truth to this day, you always expected your hunch to be wrong, but unfortunately, from the moment you got the call yesterday, you already knew that your conjectures had come true. ”

Master Xuanming smiled and said nothing, Li Jing looked at him and asked, "May I ask when the evening class in your dojo ends?" ”

Master Xuan Ming compared ten with both hands.

Li Jing asked again: "Then is the morning class time for the pilgrims here the same as the morning class time for the masters of the temple?" ”

Master Xuanming nodded: "Whether it is a pilgrim or a monk of the temple, our morning class time is 4 o'clock in the morning, the morning class is the time of a pillar of incense, and then it will be open to some local laymen who do not live in the temple, and we are officially open to tourists at 8 o'clock in the morning in summer; In winter it is 9 o'clock. ”

Li Jing was surprised, and continued: "When I came before, I imagined that someone might sneak out of the temple pilgrim's accommodation, but it takes at least nine hours to go back and forth, and according to the temple's time regulations, there are only less than seven hours between the evening class on the first day and the morning class on the second day. But if, as you say, move the time point to 8 o'clock in public hours, the likelihood that they will do these things increases dramatically. They weren't locals, and they couldn't have gotten into the temple around 5 o'clock after a stick of incense, so they arrived at 8 o'clock. I think that some of the pilgrims came in from outside the temple at 8 o'clock with the travelers and returned to the pilgrims' accommodation. ”

Master Xuan Ming shook his head: "Your guess is wrong, those five pilgrims have all attended the evening class together in the dojo and the next day's morning class. ”

Li Jing was surprised: "The abbot is providing them with an alibi?" ”

Master Xuanming didn't speak, he picked up the teacup and drank tea, and after a while, he put down the teacup and asked Li Jing: "This donor, what do you think is the difference between this stick of incense and that stick of incense?" ”

Li Jing froze, he looked at the incense stick in front of him and said thoughtfully: "How many days have they stayed here?" ”

The abbot smiled and made a three.

"They attended today's morning class?"

The abbot made a two-to-two comparison.

"What about the evening class?" Li Jing asked again, but his eyes had an obvious sense of exploration compared to just now.

The host only compared one to one this time.
