Chapter 156: Caught
Halfway up Liantian Peak, the monk led me into a small temple and walked me to the backyard.
The entrance to the corridor in the backyard is guarded by four warrior monks, each of whom holds a long stick and is in a majestic shape.
Two monks chatted with the monks, and one of them led me to a small room in the backyard.
The room was closed, and the warrior monk left.
There was only one table and two chairs in the room, and there was nothing else, giving the impression that it was like an interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau.
Five or six minutes later, the door was pushed open, and a young monk of about thirty years old walked in.
After reciting a Buddha name, he said to me, "Sit." ”
The monk sat across from me and said, "I am the Nine Commandments, a senior disciple of the Discipline Hall, and now I have come to investigate the death of Senior Brother Huiguang. ”
My face was calm, "What does the master ask, just ask." I will fully cooperate, this matter has nothing to do with me. ”
Jiujie began to ask me about the fifth, and I said that around half past ten in the morning, I met Master Ning on the way down the mountain, and Master Ning said that he had a relationship with me. Accept me as a disciple, I agreed, and I have been hoeing grass and planting medicine for the past few days.
Jiujie thought for a while and said, "Which one is Master Ning?" It seems that there is no one surnamed Ning in our cabinet, besides. After becoming a monk, they all use the number, and the previous name will be discarded. ”
"What's his name?"
I said, "It's the master of the Nine Medicine Garden." ”
Jiujie thought about it, "The old master you said, if you don't say that I can't remember, that old master is just a subordinate, not a monk in the cabinet." ”
"Inferior? Not a monk? "I was stunned.
Jiujie explained: "The No. 9 Medicine Garden used to be the Medicine King's Medicine Garden, since the Medicine King's accident, the Medicine Garden has been abandoned, the old master used to be one of the servants of the Medicine King, I heard that he followed several generations of the Medicine King, and he couldn't bear to see the Medicine Garden abandoned, and asked the host master to take care of the Medicine Garden, and the host asked him to return to his hometown, but he was unwilling, and the host saw that he was pitiful, so he handed over the Medicine Garden to him to take care of. ”
"Over the years, he has taken care of the medicine garden alone, and I heard that he has done a good job."
A servant of the Medicine King?
Jiujie held my information in his hand and said: "You are the person recommended by Ma Xiaoling, Ma Xiaoling used to be the ninth elder of the Taoist Society, and her reputation is very great, I really don't understand, after your lay disciple failed the assessment, why do you want to worship a subordinate as a teacher?" ”
"Ma Xiaoling's people, won't they see that the old master is a subordinate?"
"Why don't you wait for next month's assessment?"
"Ma Xiaoling asked you to come to study, but you hoe grass and grow medicine every day, hehe......"
"Say, what is the purpose of staying in Shaolin after you failed the assessment?"
Jiujie's gaze was forced to look at me, and it was obvious that he was already suspicious of me.
Apprenticeship to a subordinate, hoeing grass and planting medicine all day long, come to Shaolin to become a lay disciple in order to learn Shaolin's martial arts, in order to further study, I do this, no one will doubt.
How do I answer?
I remained silent and said: "Master Jiujie, this time Senior Ma recommended me to come to Shaolin, I failed the assessment, and I had no shame to go to see Senior Ma, otherwise I would disappoint Senior Ma." ”
"I was going to go down the mountain and live outside Shaolin for a month, hiding from my predecessors, and then sign up for the competition next month and become a lay disciple."
"When I went down the mountain, I was about to meet Master Ning, who saw my sad face and chatted with me. Master Ning was willing to take me in, and I thought to myself, stay alone in Shaolin, and I will participate in the competition next month. ”
"As long as I succeed next month, I can learn martial arts."
I replied like this, and it didn't leak.
"Really?" Jiujie said: "On the night of the fifth, we were chasing a person, and this person fled all the way to the No. 9 Medicine Garden, there was no one in the house of the No. 9 Medicine Garden, and the footprints on the ground had also been processed, we searched all night, but we didn't find this person, and the place where this person disappeared was near the No. 9 Medicine Garden." ”
"And you happen to be apprenticed to the master of the No. 9 Medicine Garden, is all this too much of a coincidence?"
Damn it! How do I answer these questions?
Jiujie pressed step by step, "Since you met the old master on the morning of the fifth day, apprentice to the old master, on the night of the fifth day, there was no one in the house in the medicine garden, where did you go?" Where did the old master go? ”
"We searched near the medicine garden until five o'clock in the morning before leaving, and there was no one who said, where did you go on the night of the 5th?"
They searched until five o'clock, the cellar where I was hiding. Why didn't you find it? That bluestone is very conspicuous, and after it is lifted, it is the entrance to the cellar, could it be that Ning Xiaoqian is helping me?
If I lie, they summoned Ning Wutian to summon me, if it doesn't match my answer. Definitely goofs!
"What? Can't answer? Or is it that you are the one we are going to chase, Master Huiguang and the two disciples, did you kill them! ”
My brain was racing, "Master of the Nine Rings, excuse me." When was Master Huiguang killed? Where was he killed? ”
Jiujie said: "Answer my question first!" ”
I tried to keep myself calm, "Pudu Peak is not the direction of descending the mountain, the No. 9 Medicine Garden is at the foot of Pudu Peak, if I guess correctly, after Master Huiguang accepted the apprentices, he took his disciples to Liantian Peak." If I killed someone, why didn't I go down the mountain? Instead going to Pudu Peak? ”
"Am I waiting for you to catch me?"
"I have no grievances with Master Huiguang, why should I kill Master Huiguang?"
"Master of the Nine Rings, everyone has privacy, where the hell did I go that night and who was with me. It's inconvenient for me to say, if you have to know the answer, please ask my master, and my master will give you the answer. ”
I blamed the events of that night on Ning Wutian, I felt that Ning Wutian was definitely not an ordinary person, just this domineering name. Ordinary people can't control it.
Jiujie sneered, "You competed with Cao Yantao in the assessment, and the two of them went out of the circle at the same time, and Master Huiguang judged you to lose, you were unconvinced and felt unfair." I just want to get rid of Master Huiguang, this is the motive for killing! ”
"Or rather, you and Master Huiguang already have a grudge!"
"And after you kill someone, someone must pick you up, and you must have other accomplices!"
I smiled and said, "Master of the Nine Rings, I am Ma Xiaoling's person." You also said just now that Ma Xiaoling used to be the Ninth Elder of the Dao Society, and her status is noble, do you think I came to Shaolin to kill Master Huiguang? Don't you think your reasoning is ridiculous? ”
On the night of the 5th, we went to the canyon, more than ten kilometers away from Liantian Peak. If it is the peak, more than 20 kilometers away, Cao Yantao and I just came out of the canyon, someone chased us, and no matter how fast Bai Yangsheng was, he was one step ahead of us, and he would definitely not have time to go to Liantian Peak.
The purpose of Cao Yantao and Bai Yangsheng was to investigate the gate of the demon world and confirm whether the demon star had come to the world, and they were very worried about their identities being exposed, worried that Shaolin would know their identities and would definitely not kill anyone. Cause trouble for yourself.
Nor can it be that one of the two people killed someone and then came to the canyon.
People were definitely not killed by the three of us.
"Don't put garlic on it." Jiujie said: "Ma Xiaoling is no longer a member of the Taoist Society, you better give me an honest explanation, where are you on the night of the fifth!" If you don't say it, I have a way to get you to speak! ”
Now what!
"Don't you say yes? Are you going to try our Discipline Hall's methods! ”
"We've caught a person, and this person is a banshee, when we caught a banshee. The banshee was seriously injured and said, is this banshee in league with you! ”
Succubus? It must be Lingling!
Seriously injured? What the hell? Did Cao Yantao seriously injure Lingling?
Cao Yantao didn't know the relationship between me and Lingling, and besides, Cao Yantao saw that what I needed was snatched away by Lingling, so he naturally thought that Lingling was my enemy. Also, Lingling stole the prescription this time, naturally he couldn't fail, and with Lingling's temper, he would definitely not give up easily.
I was very worried that something would happen to the spirit. I can't forgive myself, I let Cao Yantao do it......
If Cao Yantao didn't hurt Lingling, Lingling would definitely escape.
Lingling has been arrested, and until the matter is investigated, it will definitely be fine.
No matter what, I have to save the spirit, no matter how difficult it is, I will do it!
"Hehe, why is your face so ugly?" Jiujie's eyes stared at me, "Do you know that banshee?" ”
I still didn't speak, I was worried and confused, I kept trying to keep myself calm, but when I heard that Lingling was arrested, how could I calm down?
"Tell me, Cao Yantao, Bai Yangsheng, are you in the same group? Are you all in the same league as that banshee? You came to Shaolin, what purpose do you have besides killing! ”
The nine rings are pressing step by step. Seems to see me through.
I took a deep breath and said coldly: "I have nothing to do with that banshee, I didn't kill anyone, I only came to Shaolin to learn martial arts, I don't know anything!" ”
In the face of interrogation, I want to be determined. I don't know if I die, I don't admit it, and I must not be able to break through my psychological defense line by the other party.
