Abbot Xuanyin first said, "Yes, that's what the bad guy said last night. Everyone else nodded.

Meng Tianchu continued: "In this process, the front is flirting with Mrs. Qin, and the back is watching the passion play of the Qin shopkeeper, but it can't be connected with the murder case, so there is only one plot left - hiding behind Mrs. Qin's room and eavesdropping!" Since the little monk Xusong said it in front of everyone, and the real murderer was among us, the shopkeeper Qin also admitted just now that he was not in the room at the time, but waiting for Ji Wen in the pine forest in front of the temple, so the two people in Mrs. Qin's room at that time, one was Ji Wen, and the other was not Mrs. Qin, but another murderer! If I were the murderer, and I heard the little monk hiding in the back of the room eavesdropping, the first thought in my mind was whether he would have heard or seen something, although he didn't say it at the time, but it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't say it in the future. It's better to kill him, only the dead will keep their mouths shut! ”

Feiyan said: "Didn't the little monk say that after he saw two figures in the house, he left without listening, he didn't see anything, what did the murderer do when he killed him?" ”

"Whether you see it or not, that's just what the little monk himself said, who knows what he really saw or heard? This is a bet, the murderer does not dare to bet, he would rather believe in the dead, so he killed the little monk to extinguish his mouth. ”

Qin Yiyun said coldly: "No, at that time, you had already caught He Wang as the murderer of my lady, and the case was solved, before Xusong was killed, you didn't say that you arrested the wrong person yourself, we all thought that He Wang was really a murderer - of course, I still haven't believed that he is really not a murderer......

"Hey! Feed! He Wang was a little anxious, "Meng Gongzi said that I am not, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

"He said it doesn't count."

"Then who has the final say?"

Qin Yiyun said coldly: "The people of the Yamen! Wait a while for the people from the yamen to come, and see if they will think that you are indeed not a murderer! ”

"Ahh He Wang's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he took a few steps back, looking like he was about to run away.

Meng Tianchu said: "Shopkeeper He, don't worry, although I said that it doesn't count, but before the arrival of the local Yamen magistrate and the arresters, as long as we find out the real murderer, you will be cleared of grievances." ”

He Wang looked back at the door, and said in a bit of a panic: "Then what if you can't catch it!" ”

"You can only believe me, if you want to escape now, then you are a murderer, and you can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River at that time!"

He Wang thought that this was very right, his chest straightened, and said: "I didn't kill anyone, who said I was going to run away!" Meng Gongzi, you continued. ”

Meng Tianchu said to Qin Yiyun: "Shopkeeper Qin, what did you want to say just now?" ”

"What I want to say is, since everyone thought that the murderer was caught yesterday, why do you want to kill people when you say that the real murderer has been caught? Besides, the little monk didn't say anything unfavorable to him. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Actually, the answer to your question, you have already said it for me just now. ”

"I said it? What did I say? ”

"-I said that it doesn't count, the local Yamen magistrate said it! You all know this, of course the real murderer also knows, when the people from the Yamen come, this case will be re-examined, at that time, what will the little monk say, no one knows, what the little monk said is indeed not a threat to the murderer, but who can be sure that the little monk is not waiting for the people from the Yamen to come? Pretend not to hear or see anything first, and then wait for the people from the yamen to come, and then speak out, and capture the real murderer in one fell swoop, so that he can be safe. ”

Qin Yiyun nodded: "That makes sense. The murderer suspected that the little monk deliberately concealed it, but in fact, he already knew the truth, so he killed people. ”

"Yes, the murderer kills one and kills, and two kills him, and for his own safety, this suspicion must not be allowed to become a reality. So the little monk died. ”

Qin Yiyun said: "You talked about why the little bald donkey was killed for a long time, but I haven't said who killed him, and who killed my mother." ”

Meng Tianchu smiled slightly: "After finding the reason why Xu Song was killed, the murderer is about to come out." ”

"Oh, who is it?"

Meng Tianchu still didn't answer directly, and followed his own train of thought and said: "The murderer obviously set up a very subtle game to confuse us, of course this bureau can't let Xusong stir up, what kind of game is this, Xusong was killed by the murderer because of the exposure of the matter hiding in the back window of Mrs. Qin, proving that one of the two projections in the room we saw at that time was the murderer, and the murderer pretended to be Mrs. Qin, just to prove that Mrs. Qin was still alive at that time, and now I will look back and re-examine everything that happened at night." , the murderer wants to set up a bureau where he is not at the scene of the murder, so that he will not be included in the list of suspects, and he will have peace of mind. ”

Scholar Zhang Zhenyu said: "Meng Gongzi, except for the abbot Xuanyin, He Wanghe's shopkeeper and your servants yesterday, the rest of the people were not suspected of committing a crime, who are you referring to?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "That's right, except for the three of them yesterday, the rest were all suspected of crime, and now, let's check again." ”

"Oh, but I don't know how Meng Gongzi is going to investigate this time?"

"Since the murderer deliberately set up a game that can prove his alibi, then this deliberate will definitely be found." Meng Tianchu said confidently, "The murderer pretended to be Mrs. Qin to make us mistakenly think that Mrs. Qin was still alive, so he only needed to set up a bureau for himself from then until he found out that Mrs. Qin had been killed, and during this period of time, he had time to witness to prove that he was not present, then he could easily jump out of the list of suspects." ”

Qin Yiyun frowned: "What Meng Gongzi said is incomprehensible, can you put it simply." ”

"In a nutshell, let's look back at everyone's performance during that time last night, and the person who deliberately pretended to find someone to prove what he was doing at that time was the murderer!" Meng Tianchu glanced at everyone, "Last night, Abbot Xuanyin admitted that he was meditating alone in the meditation room, which is reasonable; The little monk Xusong watched the passionate performance of Qin Shopkeeper and Ji Wen in the pine forest in front of the temple, and the three of them testified to each other, which was reasonable; He Wang, the shopkeeper and my servant Lao He Tou slept in the room, and the He shopkeeper proved that Lao He Tou had been sleeping, and if He Wang himself was the murderer, he would not let Lao He Tou sleep, and would keep talking to him to prove that he had never left the room, and he did not do so, so his behavior was not abnormal, and it was reasonable; My lady and Feiyan have been talking in the room, and it's normal. Only one person, the behavior is quite abnormal! ”

Scholar Zhang Zhenyu sneered: "I'm the only one left, it seems that Meng Gongzi is talking about it?" ”

"That's right! The other person pretending to be Madame Qin in Mrs. Qin's room is you! You are the real murderer who killed Madam Qin! Meng Tianchu turned to stare at Zhang Zhenyu.
