Mingyue targeted the temple on the mountain, where the murder weapon and the murderer were likely to be hidden.

The bureau chief, Yuan Yuepeng, handed over the thorny case to Mingyue, and sent Wang Tao, a young police officer who had provided Mingyue with Xie Shenglong's address, to assist, and he himself returned to the police station with most of the people. The director of the city bureau was secretly investigated, and many people must have been implicated. At the moment, there are many things waiting for him to deal with.

Even though there is a specific goal, it is very difficult to find it. Not to mention the number of pilgrims who come to offer incense and pray every day, there are even nearly 100 monks in the temple, and finding a clue about the murder case from these people is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Looking at the pious faces, constantly flickering in front of her eyes, Mingyue could always hear an inexplicable voice: "I shouldn't have stolen his money!" I hope he doesn't blame me......" The voices of many mistakes and repentances lingered in his ears, and he looked at it but didn't know who said it.

Wang Tao next to him had a sad face and asked, "There is an endless stream of people coming and going here, where to start?" Shouldn't I ask someone who was in the temple yesterday? But this crowd is also too large. ”

"The range is indeed larger, but it is impossible for people outside to hide such a big thing in the temple without alarming the people in the temple, so there must be someone in the temple to help them."

So, they went to the abbot and inquired about it, but they didn't get any useful information. The monks in the temple have always kept to themselves, dedicated to the Dharma, and there is no abnormal behavior, and the pilgrims who come to offer incense and pray have not had too much intimate contact with the monks in the temple, and everything is in order. If there is any change, it is that his junior brother went down the mountain and has not returned.

The police also learned about this junior brother who has not returned so far, and found this person in the city. He set up a small stall to promote Buddhism and solve problems, and he has become famous, and people come to him every day to relieve his worries. Now, a rich man has rented him a house and let him settle there.

On weekdays, he lived in seclusion, either studying Buddhism in his house or helping people relieve their sorrows. In the first two homicides, the monk claimed to be at home, but there was not enough proof. The surveillance video of the community has been broken for a long time, and there is no way to determine whether he went out that day.

After a day of interrogation, except for the abbot's junior brother, there was no clue, the sky was getting dark, and he was ready to go back. On the way, I happened to meet three people, two men and one woman, among whom was a monk who was over the middle of the year. Suddenly, the three of them were shocked. Looking at the three from afar, they all knew what that meant.

Wang Tao whispered: "What do you think! ”

"What a blessing!" Mingyue whispered back.

But Liu Ye saw that Mingyue was a little flustered. If it was before, he must have been excited at this time, so she could see at a glance that Mingyue had seen something terrible. Looking at the three figures in the distance, there is nothing special.

For the three people who were walking towards them in the distance, Mingyue expected that this monk was the murderer, because he saw something that others couldn't see. Liu Ye and Wang Tao saw three people, but he could see seven. The other four, specifically, can't be human. The four of them were tall, with big shoulders and round waists, but their contours were so dazed that they couldn't see their faces clearly, holding the man and woman hostage.

Walking in, Mingyue and the others passed by the monk, with a natural expression, as if they didn't take the other few people to heart at all. Liu Ye and Wang Tao began to wonder in their hearts, why the expressions of the man and woman were slightly sluggish, their arms were slightly outstretched, and they walked with their arms not moving, which was very unnatural.

At this time, the middle-aged monk's eyes suddenly aimed at them, which made the three of them startled, "Did it make him suspicious?" ”

This middle-aged monk seemed to care about Wang Tao very much, watching him walk by and walk away, watching his every move, even a slight movement could not escape his eyes.

Only then did they notice that Wang Tao's police uniform was too eye-catching, and he was in a hurry in the morning, and he didn't have time to change into civilian clothes. Wang Tao was very scared in his heart, afraid that an inadvertent action, an unnatural action, would strengthen the monk's vigilance and let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away from them.

At the moment when the six of them rubbed shoulders, what was tested was their super psychological quality. As an extraordinary woman, Liu Ye is naturally not a problem. Although Wang Tao is young, his mental quality is also excellent. The most panicked was Mingyue, who was originally the calmest, his attention was not focused on the monk and the pair of men and women, and his afterglow kept scanning the four flickering things.

Obviously, these four "people" also noticed Mingyue and looked at him sideways. The actions of these four people attracted the attention of the middle-aged monk, and he suddenly asked very kindly, "What time is it?" ”

The voice sounded kind, but it quickly streaked across the sky like lightning, breaking the original silence and making the already restless heart even more panicked. Wang Tao was calm on the surface, but his heart trembled, and he quickly rushed to his entire body, and then his skin began to ooze cold sweat, his throat was dry, his heart was beating hard, he could barely speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.

Although this is an ordinary question, in this extremely tense environment, it is enough to make people leak flaws. Under the gaze of four "people" who could not be seen by others, and the suspicion of the middle-aged monk, Mingyue lowered her head, took out her mobile phone, looked at the time, and replied: "Half past seven!" ”

In order to alleviate the current situation, relieve everyone's tense nerves, and divert everyone's attention, Liu Ye suddenly took Mingyue's hand, put his arm in his arms, and the little bird got up and said coquettishly: "It's half past seven, let's go!" You said you wanted to stay with me at night! ”

"Good! Let's go now! Mingyue followed the willow leaves, planning to leave here quickly, and then find an opportunity to follow her.

The middle-aged monk suddenly asked Liu Ye: "Who are you?" ”

"Fiancée!"

"Oh!" The monk didn't say anything more, thanked him, turned his head and began to hurry.

Mingyue and the others walked to a place where the monk could not see, and the three of them quickly hid with a tacit understanding.

Wang Tao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm scared to death, it's really dangerous, I hope they don't have suspicions." These guys are suspicious, and we'll have to follow them. ”

Mingyue ordered Liu Ye and Wang Tao beside her: "You go back to find someone, I will follow here, and I will tear off my clothes as a mark along the way." ”

Seeing that Mingyue was now firm, Liu Ye got up and was about to leave.

Wang Tao suddenly asked, "How do you know that monk is the murderer?" What if you're just in a hurry? Besides, if it's really a murderer, can you do it yourself? I heard that the monks in this temple are martial arts. Besides, how can the director believe my words and send someone so late! ”

Liu Ye tugged at the corner of Wang Tao's clothes and said, "If you are told to go, you can leave!" What so much nonsense! You just said that Mingyue found the suspect and asked for more manpower, and Director Yuan would send someone immediately! ”

Wang Tao left uneasily.

Mingyue followed the monk alone, using strips of cloth torn from his clothes as marks along the way. Sure enough, the monk did not return to the temple, but came to the dense forest, stood still, turned back to the man and woman, and said, "Are you guilty? ”
