Chapter 133: The Enigma
Jiang Jingtian was questioned coldly by Zhan Yan, reprimanded by Yin Seventeen and said that he was not worthy, persuaded by Zhao's shopkeeper, and kowtowed to him by Hongyao kneeling, all of this, he didn't feel it, nor did he not expect such a terrible consequence.

Correct...... He didn't really want to hurt anyone, let alone lose anyone!
Jiang Jingtian gradually realized his greed.
Since ancient times, fish and bear's paws have not been able to have both, but he just wants both.
Can you?
Jiang Jingtian closed his eyes, buried the pain and struggle in his eyes, and the tears that slipped out of his eyes showed that he already had the answer in his heart - no!
Before going to Qianguang Temple with Hongyao, Jiang Jingtian had just received news from the person sent out to investigate, saying that there seemed to be someone who looked like Jiang Luo, but he couldn't be sure.
This uncertainty gave Jiang Jingtian a glimmer of hope, even if he felt that it was just his own extravagant delusion, but now after seeing the empty coffin, he already had a plan in his heart.
The inner struggle seemed to others to be only a dozen breaths, but for Jiang Jingtian, it was like more than ten years, and he said with bitterness and difficulty:
"The man I sent came back and said that it was a trace found on the road in front of the Thousand Lights Temple, and that the figure had disappeared in a flash, but it was so, and my men had long remembered the portraits of my father and my aunt, and he insisted...... It's impossible to admit mistakes! ā
At that time, Jiang Jingtian didn't believe it very much, no matter how much his people believed in it and what they said, he only held on to a glimmer of hope, but he never fully believed it.
Zhan Yan asked, "Then later?" ā
Jiang Jingtian said: "Later, that figure quickly entered the Thousand Lights Temple. ā
Yin Seventeen said: "When did he see the figure?" ā
Jiang Jingtian said that the time was exactly the day Xiao Zhi was killed, and he said:
"At that time, the gate of the temple was closed, although the next day Master Cimei ordered the whole temple to be closed, but long before I ordered the officials to guard the entrances and exits of the Qianguang Temple, if there is really someone who can avoid the eyes and ears of the officials to quickly enter the temple, then this person ......"
Yin Seventeen continued: "Then this person knows martial arts, and he is not bad!" ā
Just like Zhanyan, his light skills are enough to climb over the high temple walls.
But now all the people in the Qianguang Temple, including the people in the yamen and the monks in the temple, except for Zhanyan who has such skills, Yin Seventeen really can't think of a second person.
It's the same with Zhanyan.
Jiang Jingtian's people only said that they had seen the monk who looked like Jiang Luo, but they didn't recognize who the monk was in the temple, and it was the news that he had just gotten, and Jiang Jingtian still didn't have time to let his people make a confirmation.
Jiang Jingtian still had no concealment, Zhanyan looked at whether he had concealed it in the end, but he still looked at Yin Seventeen.
Yin Seventeen knew what Zhan Yan meant, so he nodded.
Although Jiang Jingtian was a little confused at first, Jiang Nianlong's current life and death were unknown enough to make him suddenly repent, she believed that no matter how confused Jiang Jingtian was, it was impossible not to care about the safety of his sister, let alone exchange his sister's life for the possibility of sinking for twenty years.
Since Jiang Jingtian's people have only seen a monk who looks like Jiang Luo, but they have never recognized which master in the temple that the monk is, then what Jiang Jingtian concealed is actually only more confirmed by Yin Seventeen's previous inference, and Jiang Nianlong's whereabouts are of no great use now.
Previously, Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan were convinced that the murderer was definitely a monk in the temple of Qianguang Temple, and now it has been further confirmed that Jiang Luo is most likely to be the murderer of the three murders, so to find Jiang Nianlong's whereabouts, you must first find Jiang Luo hidden in the Qianguang Temple.
However, Jiang Luo was able to escape into the empty door under the pretense of illness and death twenty years ago, and completely erased Jiang Luo's identity by pretending to be poisoned, regardless of the actual reason, he hid in the temple for 20 years with another identity as Jiang Luo, which shows that Jiang Luo's wisdom and strategy are not bad.
Yin Seventeen said: "Qianguang Temple is not big, but it is not small, to find a person who has been hiding in the temple for twenty years, this is probably not easy, not to mention that we have no extra time to investigate one by one!" ā
Zhan Yan also felt that this matter was extremely tricky, the murderer was likely to commit the crime again soon, Jiang Nianlong was more likely to become the fourth victim, and what Yin Seventeen thought and said in his heart, he understood it even more deeply.
Now there is only one way left.
Zhan Yan said: "No matter what, the Zilai side has been conducting a comprehensive search, even if you can't find the whereabouts of the enlightened master or the mystical master, you will definitely be able to find some clues." ā
Yin Seventeen asked, "What does Brother Zhan mean?" ā
Zhan Yan said: "Let's go to the scene of the fourth case where the murderer is most likely to commit another crime!" ā
Log cabin!
The cabin is not only the real scene of the third victim's crime, but also the scene of the murderer's fourth crime!
Jiang Jingtian, Shopkeeper Zhao, and Hongyao couldn't understand the meaning of Zhanyan's words, but the three of them also knew that this was not the time to ask more, so they followed Zhanyan and Yin Seventeen to the vegetable garden cabin without saying a word.
The two officials stayed behind to fill Jiang Luo's empty grave with soil and return the grave to its original state.
Arrived at the vegetable garden and everything was as usual.
Jiang Jingtian saw Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen enter the cabin to investigate, and he asked about Zhao's shopkeeper:
"What are Zhan Tou and Yin Kuaishou doing?"
Shopkeeper Zhao shook his head and said, "I don't know, but they do this for their own reasons." ā
Looking at Jiang Jingtian again, Shopkeeper Zhao asked hesitantly:
"The young owner really doesn't have anything to hide from the old club?"
Jiang Jingtian seemed to have expected that Shopkeeper Zhao would question him like this, and he was not annoyed, and said bitterly:
"Uncle Zhao has been with my father for many years, and he is an old man who has watched the Longmen Inn operate bit by bit to the current scale, even if I have the heart to hide Uncle Zhao at the beginning, this will be a complete explanation of my father's affairs, Uncle Zhao, no matter how confused I am, I will never joke with Nian Long's life again!"
Speaking of Jiang Nianlong, Shopkeeper Zhao believed it.
When Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen came out of the cabin, Zhan Yan and the three people outside the house:
"The three of you will go back to the guest house of the temple first, as for the young owner, if you have something important to think of, please inform us as soon as possible, the same is true for the shopkeeper Zhao and Hongyao."
Of course, the three of them nodded in response.
Then the three of them left the vegetable garden and returned to the temple, while Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen stood in the vegetable garden and looked at the dark vegetable field at night.
When the three of them left, Zhan Yan also asked Hongyao to find a trip to Hua Zilai for him, and asked her to tell Hua Zilai, and after the whole temple searched the results, he went to the back mountain vegetable garden to find him and Yin Seventeen.
Yin Seventeen said: "Brother Zhan, do you think there is any way to make the murderer jump out by himself?" ā
Zhan Yan looked at Yin Seventeen, although she was asking him in the dark, her eyes kept looking at the vegetable patch under the night in front of her, and when she saw that he didn't speak for a long time, she turned her face sideways to look at him.
Yin Qiqi reached out and touched his cheek and asked, "What is Brother Zhan looking at?" What's on my face? ā
Zhan Yan shook his head lightly and said, "I'm also thinking about it, but I can't think of any better way." ā
Yin Seventeen grasped the point: "Better? In other words, Brother Zhan has a way? ā
Zhanyan does have a way.
If the murderer is indeed Jiang Luo, then Jiang Luo will show all the things Jiang Long'er has done in the past in front of people twenty years later, and still kill a woman of the same age to replace Jiang Long'er, the protagonist in the scene, and make such a high-profile move to shock the world, Jiang Luo must have his purpose.
And Jiang Luo's purpose is nothing more than to lure out the murderer who killed Jiang Long'er back then!
Yin Seventeen said: "What Brother Zhan means is that Jiang Luo may have found the murderer twenty years ago, but he did not directly kill the murderer to take revenge, but planned this series of three murders with great effort and calculation, his purpose is to let the murderer's crimes back then summon the world, let the world see the murderer's evil deeds and ugliness back then, and then kill the murderer to avenge Jiang Long'er!" ā
Zhan Yan said: "That's right, if the murderers of these three murders are really as we expected, then the only thing that can make Jiang Luo not take human life in his eyes, and then do such an evil deed that loses his conscience, there will be no other purpose than such a purpose." ā
Jiang Luo made three murders, one by one to reproduce Jiang Long'er's deeds and deeds, although the murderer who raped Jiang Long'er may not be completely aware of Jiang Long'er's past, but since the second scene, Yingyin is to replace Jiang Long'er to reproduce the scene of the year, such a scene, as long as the monks of Qianguang Temple who knew Jiang Long'er's entanglement with Wupin twenty years ago, should know it.
And the murderer of 20 years ago should be one of them.
So after the second murder, who in the temple behaved the most abnormally?
Yin Seventeen sighed and said, "We still missed a lot of details!" ā
Zhan Yan only nodded and said, "The most important thing now is to force the murderer to jump out by himself!" ā
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen talked about his method of luring out the murderer, and Yin Seventeen also said some of his own opinions, and the two had just agreed on a plan to lure the murderer, and Hua Zilai arrived.
As soon as he entered the gate of the vegetable garden, Hua Zilai hurriedly walked towards the two of them:
"I didn't find any trace of the Enlightened Master and the Xuanfa Master, but a strange thing happened to me!"
This matter is that for nearly ten years, Wu Zhi has been showing favor to the Xuanfa for various reasons, either explicitly or implicitly.
Yin Seventeen asked, "What is the way to show goodwill?" ā
Hua Zilai said: "Isn't Master Wu responsible for assisting Master Yile to manage the financial situation of the temple, taking advantage of the convenience, Master Wu has been greedy for a lot of sesame oil money in the temple for ten years!" ā
Among them, the most is to collect money by repeatedly going out of the temple to change fate and privately do various rituals for pilgrims.
Most of the calamities that need to be resolved by those rituals are actually created out of nothing, just to defraud the believers who believe that the light of the Buddha shines in Qianguang Temple.
When Yin Seventeen heard this, he understood the real reason why he was so frequent in the temple.
Zhan Yan said: "You mean, whether it is the sesame oil money that Master Wu quietly withheld from Master Yile, or the money obtained by going out of the temple to make false connections to the believers, in the end, it all went into the hands of Master Xuanfa?" ā
Hua Zilai nodded and said, "That's right! ā
Many exquisite and precious calligraphy and paintings in the Xuanfa meditation room, or all kinds of small Buddhist things, are mostly derived from folk searches, and then secretly given to Xuanfa.
Yin Seventeen asked, "How did you know this?" ā
It's not that Yin Seventeen doesn't believe in flowers, but she always has to be sure of the reliability of the person who said this information.
Hua Zilai didn't think much about it, and responded directly:
"Master Wugen, the personal disciple who has been serving by the master's side!"
When Hua Zilai and the officials searched every corner of Qianguang Temple, Wu Geng and Ji Yuan, who went to the Treasury to help, finally learned that they had disappeared, so they took the initiative to find Hua Zilai.
Under Hua Zilai's detailed inquiry, he learned about these things, and knew that although the person who asked Wu Geng and Ji Yuan to help in the Kushi Academy was enlightened, it seemed to mean the mysticism.
As for why he said it seems, because this is what he overheard when he realized the door of the meditation room.
At that time, Xuanfa and Enlightenment were discussing in the meditation room, and after the discussion, they assigned Wu Geng and Ji Yuan to the Treasury to help, and after Wu Geng and Ji Yuan arrived at the Treasury Academy, they learned that this was also a temporary assignment.
Yifan, the deacon of the Treasury Academy, was also very surprised, saying that although he was a little busy in the Treasury Academy, he had never had the intention of letting the Zen Academy next to him help, but that would be more and the same as the Yuan had already arrived at the Library, and he still realized the kindness, and Yifan was inconvenient to refuse, so he asked the accompanying disciples to arrange it and let the two of them help do something.
When he was helping out in the Kushi Academy, Wu Geng also felt strange, and intuitively felt that today's enlightenment was a little weird, but he couldn't talk about this weirdness, he just felt that it was different from usual.
Not only does there be no more such feeling, that is, Yuan is also full of doubts.
But as soon as the two of them combined, they both felt that they had realized that they had a degree of progress and retreat in their usual work, so they had the intention of assigning them to help in the Treasury Academy, so they also obediently worked in the Treasury Academy, until they heard that they had lost their traces, and they hurried back to the prison courtyard.
Yin Seventeen was silent, thinking about what would happen if Xuanfa found enlightenment early in the morning, and why did he send the two attendant disciples away from his side when he realized it?
Zhan Yan was obviously thinking about this as well, and then said:
"There must be something between enlightenment and the mysticism, and this matter must cover all ears and eyes!"
So I realized that I first transferred away from the Wu more and Ji Yuan around me.
But then I realized what happened to the blood stains on the futon in the meditation room?
Could it be that he realized the mystery and did not talk about things and then make changes?
After Zhan Yan said the last sentence, the three of them were silent, and even Hua Zilai couldn't help but look at the vegetable field where it was rumored that Xiao Zhi was sitting in a dead breath.
In the silence, Yin Seventeen suddenly asked Hua Zilai:
"Have you searched the meditation room of the enlightened master and the meditation room of the master of the occult law?"
Hua Zilai took his gaze back from the vegetable field that seemed to be far away under the night of the sky, and looked at Yin Seventeen:
"Naturally, I searched, but there was nothing special, except for what Wu Geng said that the enlightened master gave to the master of Xuanfa, there were no other clues."
Zhan Yan asked Yin Seventeen: "Did you think of something?" ā
Yin Seventeen nodded and said, "Brother Zhan, I thought of a possibility!" But this may need something to prove it! ā
And the supporting thing is in the meditation room of the enlightened or the occult law.
As long as she found this corroborating thing, Yin Seventeen thought that she would be able to unravel the reason why she had frequently shown favor to the Xuanfa in the past ten years! (To be continued.) )
