Chapter 20: Truth 1
The whole case has become clear, but what kind of means did that person use to make Master Wushan die in this way?
And is there an unknown relationship between Master Wushan and Miss Zhong?
Zhen Bei was determined to listen to what the slightly wooden little monk in front of her thought: "Little master, the master is different from Miss Zhong and other pilgrims? ”
"The host treats everyone very well, Master, he is a bodhisattva, and he just pities her loneliness!" The little monk sighed.
Suddenly, his expression became serious: "Master Gu, the little monk advises you not to pursue it any further!" Presiding over the cultivation is profound, with the blessing of the Buddha, how can he be harmed by mortals? Guanyin thorns are a sacred object that allows the host to improve his practice and get closer to the Buddha, since the host made an exception to eat them that night, he must have gotten the hint of the Buddha and became a Buddha and an immortal! ”
Zhen Bei looked at the little monk who reacted violently in shock, and after a long time, she refocused her gaze on the stack of papers.
According to what Jia Rutian said, Master Wushan should be the one who wrote at the desk before his death.
"All appearances are vain. If you see things that are not like each other, you will see them as they are. ”
Zhen Bei's eyes froze, could it be that Master Wushan was hinting at something!
He hurriedly flipped through the next one: "Knowing illusion is leaving, and it is not pretending to be convenient." There is no illusion or progression. ”
After reading it again, Zhen Bei's heart was shocked beyond words, he seemed to understand something, and sighed leisurely: "Can you take me to the backyard to see those Guanyin thorns?" ”
The little monk recited two sentences of the Buddha, and his expression had returned to calm: "Donor, please come here!" ”
With the little monk leading the way, Zhenbei skirted the house and headed north.
After crossing a stream through a small pine forest, several sections of broken earth walls appeared in front of them.
The earthen walls are densely covered with Guanyin thorns, which are very fecundity plants, and they spread along the wall to the root of the wall, forming a sea of green!
"Donor, watch out for the thorns on them!" The little monk kindly reminded.
Zhen Bei smiled at him comfortingly, and slowly walked into this thorny "dangerous" world, his gaze swept over every tenacious life here.
Suddenly, his gaze shrank and settled on an inconspicuous oblate spherical thornless plant at the root of the broken wall.
After a while, he let out a long breath and said, "I finally know the answer to all the riddles!" ”
Half an hour later, except for the father and daughter of the Gu family, Prince De, He Zhaoyuan and the two prestigious old monks of the temple, everyone else in the wing room was isolated from the door.
"Belle, you called everyone over, what's the matter?" Guba asked in a low voice.
Most of the people present were highly respectable people, and he was a little worried that his son would not be able to clean up the stall.
"Dad, I've found out the real murderer." Zhenbei is confident.
"Nonsense! Dad knows that you are unwilling, but your eldest sister has already found the murderer, how can there be another murderer? Before the matter is too big and provokes a joke, hurry up and accompany the prince and Lord He, and let everyone disperse! Guba glared and lowered his voice.
Zhenbei looked at him sadly, tears rolling in her eyes: "Dad, you are really as your mother said, you only value the eldest sister!" Even if you find the murderer, you only believe that her judgment is correct! ”
Gu Chang was slightly stunned, and then said: "This, how can there be such a thing?" Don't listen to your mother chewing her tongue indiscriminately. That, alas, toss it up to you! ”
As he spoke, he was obviously a little weak-hearted, and with his hands behind his back, he paced back to his place and sat down again.
Seeing this, the corners of Zhenbei's mouth rose, and a trace of triumphant light flashed in her eyes, where was the slightest grievance.
He Zhaoyuan squinted his slender phoenix eyes, looked at the interaction between the father and son, and stood up with a smile: "Nephew Bei'er, according to your request, all the people are here." Although Wang Shun took the initiative to admit his guilt, this case is full of suspicions, and you already know all the links in the murder case, can you elaborate on it! ”
Zhen Bei looked around at everyone for a week, hugged her fists and said: "My sister has already explained and reasoned about some of the details of the case. Today, Zhenbei will complete the remaining part and correct some of her sister's inferences, because the real murderer is someone else! ”
As soon as he said this, he was shocked.
Prince De stood up and said angrily: "Someone else? Isn't the one who killed Master Wushan the minion named Wang Shun? ”
Zhen Bei first bowed his hand to Prince De and said: "Grandpa Guo, don't be impatient, and let Zhen Bei peel off the cocoon and let it appear automatically." ”
Prince De calmed his breath, nodded slowly, and sat back on the Taishi chair.
Although Gu Zhenbei said that her dementia had been cured, if she could reason and judge the case, Zhenzhi obviously would never believe it.
Because of this younger brother, she must have committed a child's temper, and she is bent on competing with her.
Therefore, when he saw him passing by, he couldn't help but whisper while people were not paying attention: "Zhenbei, the case is not the player's wine, you need to have evidence, you have to think about it and talk about it!" ”
"Sister, don't worry, I know how to measure." Zhen Bei replied.
He strode to the door.
The courtyard was already full of officers and soldiers, and at the stone table under the tree in the courtyard, several pilgrims from the Meizhong Courtyard with different moods sat around.
Zhen Bei said to the few people waiting in the courtyard: "Miss Zhong, please come in." ”
Zhong Yanyan walked over as she said.
Zhenbei stopped Granny Lu behind her and said, "Mother-in-law, you sit in the courtyard for a while." ”
Seeing that the young lady nodded lightly to her and motioned for her to stay as she said, Granny Lu glanced at Zhenbei fiercely and returned to the stone bench unwillingly.
"Gu Gongzi!" Zhong Yanyan said slightly, her face was slightly pale.
Zhen Bei made a gesture of please.
The two of them entered the chamber one after the other, and the door was closed again.
Zhong Yanyan saw the people sitting in the room, settled down, and bent her knees: "Zhong Yanyan, a folk girl, have seen a few adults!" ”
He Zhaoyuan said: "Miss Zhong doesn't have to be polite! I asked you to come over this time, because of Master Wushan's case, I need you to answer a few questions. ”
Zhong Yanyan said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Zhen Bei got the nod of permission from Prince De, and said straight to the point: "Miss Zhong, do you know who the real murderer of Master Wushan is?" ”
Zhong Yanyan looked up at him in panic and said, "Gu, Gu Gongzi, the folk girl doesn't know what you're talking about!" ”
She couldn't stop trembling slightly, obviously using all her strength to finish speaking.
Zhen Bei looked at her intently and said, "Oh, is it? As the closest person around her, how could Miss Zhong not notice her recent abnormal behavior? ”
"Zhenbei, are you suspicious of Granny Lu?" Zhenzhi exclaimed.
Zhenbei didn't answer her, still staring at Zhong Yanyan, whose face was constantly changing.
"Gu Gongzi really loves to laugh. Although Master Wushan is old, he is a man in the end, and he has kung fu to protect himself. And the nurse is just a powerless old woman, where can she have the ability to subdue him and slash him to death several times! ”
