The poor monk and Mama Zhang are ...... Let's get to know the old thing, if we have the opportunity to discuss the Dharma together on weekdays. ”

Lichen did not talk about his relationship with Mama Zhang in detail, and only said vaguely.

After he finished speaking, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Wei Qingqing, his eyes were clear and his expression was calm, "Master Wei Shi came this time, he suspected that the poor monk was the murderer who killed Mama Zhang, right?" The poor monk is a monk, and he has always been compassionate, so how can he indiscriminately kill and injure people's lives at will? ”

"I don't believe you can kill people either," Wei Qingqing said slowly, and then suddenly changed his words, "But all kinds ......of clues point to you, if you don't have a reasonable explanation, it's hard for me to believe you!" ”

Wei Qingqing said and pointed to the string of Buddhist beads that he put back on his hand, and said, "This string of Buddhist beads was found by me in the place where Mama Zhang died, and I deliberately threw it in the corner to test you before. ”

Hearing this, Lichen's face did not change, and he explained in a frank tone: "I think it was accidentally lost when the poor monk went to the pool to meet Mama Zhang. ”

"Master Dust! Can you stop playing dumb with me? Why did you, a monk and a Dharma Master, meet privately with the grandmother in the deep palace? But anyone who is not stupid knows that there must be something wrong with this, okay?! ”

Facing Wei Qingqing's questioning, Lichen lowered his eyebrows and said nothing.

Wei Qingqing was so angry when she saw his appearance that she simply put on an aggressive posture, "What is the relationship between you and Mama Zhang?" What did you talk about when you met poolside? I can completely rule out your suspicion by asking these questions, so I hope you can tell the truth! ”

Wei Qingqing said so much, and the words were also hinting at dust, if he didn't explain things clearly, he wouldn't be able to clear his suspicions.

Who admits to the dust but still refuses to say a word, only saying that he is a monk and will never kill indiscriminately.

Wei Qingqing was suddenly a little deflated, and glared at Chen with a dissatisfied face, "Although I believe in your personality and think that this is a deliberate situation set up by someone who wants to harm you, there is a chance that you have been calculated by someone in this situation." ”

"But if you are so uncooperative and unwilling to explain things clearly, then it is useless even if I believe you - Gonggong Chen in front of the emperor regards you as the number one suspect!"

Wei Qingqing did believe in Chen's personality and thought that someone had set up a situation to frame Chen.

With her understanding of Chen, and with great love and compassion, she doesn't look like the kind of evil monk who doesn't care about human life...... She was even more suspicious of the owner of the waist card!

But she still wants to figure out the relationship between Lichen and Mama Zhang!

After she made up her mind, she forced Chen to ask a few times, but Lichen only refused to admit that he and Mama Zhang were old friends, and the others always refused to say a word!

Wei Qingqing couldn't ask why, so she could only get up and say goodbye angrily, "I'll go find out who the owner of that waist card is, you'd better pray that I can find useful clues, otherwise you just wait to be convicted!" ”

She paused as she spoke, glaring hatefully at the dusty man who looked like a saw-mouthed gourd, "Hmph! I'd like to see if you, if you were really condemned, you wouldn't say a word like you do now! ”

After Wei Qingqing said goodbye from the dust, he found Chen Jinbao and asked how the waist card was checked, "Have you ever found out who left that waist card in the place where the crime occurred?" ”

Chen Jinbao looked embarrassed, "It is a unified waist card, but everyone who often goes in and out of the imperial dining room has a piece, and the miscellaneous family previously ordered someone to count the waist cards of the people in the imperial dining room, but no one has a waist card missing!" ”

"The people in the imperial dining room are all on their waist cards? Are you sure there is no one missing? Wei Qingqing asked in surprise.

"It's really all there! The miscellaneous family has ordered someone to take the roster and check it one by one, and it will soon be possible to know if there are any missing people. Before Chen Jinbao's words fell, a little eunuch came to talk back with a roster.

"Back to my father-in-law, all the people registered on the roster have arrived, each of them is holding a waist card, and no one is empty-handed!" The little eunuch said.

"It's weird! Obviously, there is one more waist card, but why no one has lost the waist card? Chen Jinbao asked with a puzzled expression.

Wei Qingqing frowned and pondered for a moment, and speculated: "I think someone found that his waist card was lost, and he didn't dare to go back to the place where he killed people to find it, so he thought of finding another waist card to make up for it!" ”

She said that she gradually had an inference in her heart, and delineated the scope of the murderer, "I think that the owner of the waist card is the murderer, otherwise why would that person go to great lengths to cover up the loss of the waist card?" ”

At this time, a little eunuch arrived in a hurry with a palace maid, and hurriedly told Chen Jinbao: "Father-in-law Chen, this palace maid said that she witnessed the murderer killing Mama Zhang!" ”

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he pushed out a slightly older yellow-clothed palace maid, "That's her!" ”

Wei Qingqing's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and her eyes fell on the palace maid in yellow, seeing that she was pale and her body had been trembling slightly, as if she had just been frightened.

She looked at the palace maid in yellow and asked, "You saw the process of the murderer killing Mama Zhang?" ”

"Look, see! At that time, the slave maid happened to go to the imperial dining room to get food, and in order to take a few steps less, she took a shortcut, and then she accidentally bumped into the murderer! The palace maid in yellow said with a frightened face.

"How did the murderer kill Mama Zhang?" Wei Qingqing asked again.

The little palace maid was pale and palpitated to recall the picture she saw at the time, "The murderer was originally half a step behind Mama Zhang, standing behind Mama Zhang and talking to her, the two of them seemed to talk happily, who would have thought that the murderer suddenly showed a fierce light in his eyes, unexpectedly pressed Mama Zhang to the ground, and pressed her head into the water......"

What the little palace maid said was not much different from what Wei Qingqing deduced about the incident, which made Wei Qingqing believe that she was not lying.

She asked with a solemn face, "Have you seen the murderer's face clearly?" ”

"I can see clearly, it was a monk with a tear mole in his eyes who killed Mama Zhang," the little palace maid seemed to remember that scene deeply, and her tone was very determined, "The slave doesn't know who that monk is and what his name is, but as long as the slave and maid see him again, the slave and the maid will be able to recognize him!" ”

Before the little palace maid's voice fell, and before Wei Qingqing could speak, Chen Jinbao on the side preemptively said: "The murderer must be dusty!" ”

First, a string of Buddha beads suspected to be dust were found in the place where the crime occurred, and then someone saw dust and Mama Zhang talking by the pool, and now there are even eyewitnesses who saw dust killing!

All these things made Chen Jinbao think that the murderer was gone, "The miscellaneous family will go to report to the emperor!" ”

Not only did Chen Jinbao decide that Chen was the murderer, but even Wei Qingqing was a little shaken, wondering if he believed in Chen too much......
