Lu Kai nodded, deeply agreeing.

Li Zhudao put down the paper in his hand, and changed his words without hurrying: "Before killing Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, Shi Ji should have never left the White Lotus Temple. Some of the cigarette butts under your bedside are clearly visible, and they have only been thrown away for a few days. That's enough to say that."

There is only one bedroom in the White Lotus Temple that can sleep people. Monk Tian himself does not smoke, and even if someone comes to him, as a guest, he will never throw cigarette butts under the bed in the master's bedroom, let alone stuff cigarette butts into the cracks in the wall at the head of the bed.

There is no doubt that only people who smoke in bed throw cigarette butts under the bed or shove them into the cracks in the wall at the head of the bed. In other words, there should be another person sleeping on the bed in this bedroom besides Monk Tian.

"Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, who suddenly appeared in the White Lotus Temple, were brutally killed because they saw Shi Ji. The village cadres had also seen Shi Ji before, but he was unharmed. Why did Lao Liu and Xiao Tan be killed when they saw Shi Ji?"

"Because since yesterday, our police have been searching for Shiji. Because the sixth child knows the police at the police station, he has a portrait of Shi Ji in his hand. As soon as he sees Shi Ji, he will definitely know that the person our police are looking for is actually in the White Lotus Temple."

"This portrait was not found on the body of the sixth child, and the police searched his house and did not find it. Where did this portrait go? The sixth child took the initiative to promise the police to help find someone, and he specially asked for this portrait, and it is unlikely that he will turn his head and throw away this piece of paper."

"If he just wants to be perfunctory to the police, there is no need to ask for a portrait at all."

"I'm inclined to think that when the sixth child was in the White Lotus Temple, you or Shi Ji saw this portrait. Maybe the sixth child accidentally let this piece of paper fall out of his body, or maybe he took the initiative to take out this piece of paper and ask you if you have ever seen this person in the process of chatting with you."

"What kind of situation is it that allows you or Shi Ji to see this piece of paper, only you know. In any case, it seems to me that you have most likely confirmed one thing through this piece of paper, which is that our police are searching for Shiji. Only you know what you will do with this piece of paper."

"Of course, you may have learned this information in other ways. But that's all I can think of."

"On the premise that you have learned the information that the police are searching for Shi Ji, the sixth child will recognize Shi Ji and cause himself to be killed. If you don't do it, since you have killed the sixth child, then Xiao Tan, who is with the sixth child, will naturally be killed."

The beads of sweat on Monk Tian's forehead gradually appeared and slowly slipped down.

After a pause, Li Zhudao continued: "You know that Shi Ji is not Xiao Wu physically, but emotionally you still treat him as Xiao Wu, and even at this time, you still want to take the blame for him, but your level of storytelling is really not high, and many elements of the scene have not been taken into account."

"You only want to protect Shi Ji, have you ever wondered who he is? Or, have you ever wondered what he did that led us to hunt him down like this?"

Monk Tian swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

Li Zhudao suddenly fell silent, as if he was thinking about a new question.

After a long time, Li Zhudao raised his head: "I'm wondering, do you think Shi Ji is an illegal immigrant, so we will search for him like this." But it occurred to me that if that were the only reason for that, his murderous behavior would not be understandable to you."

"It's just illegal entry, and your whereabouts are exposed, even if you are caught by the police, at most you will be sent back to your country, and you will be guilty of killing people in order to hide your whereabouts?"

"But judging from your performance of taking the initiative to take the blame, you are not only understanding his criminal act of killing people and killing people, but also supporting, and it is no exaggeration to say that you are supporting him with your own life."

"In other words, you know exactly what the real reason why we are hunting for Shi Ji, or who Shi Ji is and what he has done before. That's why you know that once we catch Shi Ji, there is only one way to die."

"Only under such a premise, in order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Shi Ji will not be stopped by you when he kills Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, and you will replace him afterwards

He takes the pot."

Then, Li Zhudao's words changed: "I used to think that you regarded Shi Ji as a son, but Shi Ji may not treat you as a father. But I don't think so now."

"You treat Shi Ji as Xiao Wu, and transfer all your fatherly love for Xiao Wu to him. Shi Ji is just another person who has never received his father's love since he was a child. One wants to give fatherly love, the other has never felt fatherly love, and you have just become the most suitable father and son."

"Only in this case, when there is no emotional barrier between you and each other, will Shi Ji tell you about his past, who he is, and what he has done, and you will be clear."

"If he doesn't emotionally see you as a father, he will never reveal his past to you."

"What's more, whether it's from Shi Ji's past, or from his killing of Lao Liu and Xiao Tan, in order not to expose his whereabouts, he could have killed you too, but he didn't do it, why? for he has truly made you a father."

"I originally thought that you were just a self-hypnotic one-sided emotional output, and I vaguely thought that it was a bit far-fetched for you to treat him as Xiao Wu just because you were emotionally treating him as Xiao Wu, but I didn't think of a more sufficient reason for this for a while. Now that you think about it, your motives and reasons for the Interhistoric Top Bag are quite strong."

Monk Tian turned his face slightly, as if he was deliberately avoiding Li Zhudao's gaze.

Li Zhudao's expression was straight, and his voice was fierce: "You are the top bag for Shi Ji, just to continue to hide his traces, or help him escape from the police. But we have now judged that Shiji's last foothold is in the White Lotus Temple, and it hasn't been long since he left, whether you admit it or not, it will not affect the police search."

Then, his tone was visibly slightly sarcastic: "I don't know if you're really confused or fake. It is only a matter of time before Shi Ji is caught. In this case, you still have to top the bag for him? What's the point of risking your own life for nothing?"

Since a person like Monk Tian is willing to bear two lives for the sake of a "false son", if he tries to use public order and conscience or legal morality as a weapon to move him with affection and reason, and then pry open his mouth, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The purpose of the top bag is nothing more than to save Shi Ji's life. But now Li Zhudao's words are like a salary from the bottom of a kettle, fundamentally attacking and negating Monk Tian's purpose, like hitting a snake on seven inches.

Monk Tian was shocked, waking up like a dream, and only opened his mouth to narrate after a long time.

During Shi Ji's recuperation in the Lotus Temple, he was indeed quite uncomfortable with Monk Tian's careful care at first. Seeing this, Monk Tian bluntly said that he didn't have to think about it, the reason why he was like this was only because he looked like his son Xiao Wu, who had been away from home for many years.

Shi Ji was stunned for a long time and said, I am Vietnamese, the kind that entered the country illegally, how could it be your son.

Monk Tian also said that although I haven't seen Xiao Wu for twenty or thirty years, I remember clearly what characteristics he has on his face and what the tone of his voice is, and of course I know that you are not Xiao Wu, but what does it matter?

Then he said, don't say that you are an illegal immigrant, even if you are a murderer, what does it matter. You just have to treat this place as your home, and you can recuperate here with peace of mind. It is also said that the location of the Lotus Temple is remote, and few people in the village come here, since you are an illegal immigrant, it is best to stay here to recuperate.

Shi Ji was stunned for a long time, and finally didn't say anything. But there was no longer doubt or resistance in his eyes.

During his time at the Lotus Temple, Shi Ji didn't talk much and rarely made an appearance. Monk Tian always has something to talk about.

As the injury gradually improved, Monk Tian suggested that Shi Ji go out and walk around more. Although Shi Ji still didn't say anything, he would walk a few steps in the courtyard every day with a cane.

Not long after, because of the relocation of the grave, the village cadres suddenly came to the door and saw Shi Ji at a glance in the courtyard.

After the village cadres left, Monk Tian helped Shi Ji into the house. After Shi Ji sat down in the bedroom, he suddenly said that it was time for him to go.

Monk Tian was surprised, but more reluctantly, saying that your leg has not healed yet

, what are you doing in such a hurry to leave, even if you want to leave, you have to wait until the injury is healed.

After Shi Ji was silent for a while, a sentence came out, saying that I have been here for a long time, and it is not good for you.

Monk Tian still thought that Shi Ji was an illegal immigrant, and he was worried that if he was found by the police, he would be affected, so he said nonchalantly, there is nothing wrong, I think it's good, even if the police come to the door and give me a hat for harboring illegal immigrants, I am an old bone, what can they do to me? Don't worry, listen to me, you can live here with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about anything.

Shi Ji hesitated for a moment, but suddenly said again, I have killed someone.

Monk Tian was about to walk out of the door when he heard the words and kicked on the threshold and almost fell.

After standing up straight, Monk Tian stepped into the bedroom again, deliberately pulled the door, and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back After pacing back and forth for a few steps, he suddenly asked, are the police looking for you now?

Shi Ji shook his head and said that they would find out about this kind of thing sooner or later.

Monk Tian spread his hands, so wait until they find out, what do you want to do so much?

And then he said, the more this is the case, the better it is for you to stay. If you are an illegal immigrant, you can't even live in a guest house after you go out, where else can you go? In the future, you try not to go out during the day here, and then come out at night.

The village cadres have seen you here, and they may talk to other villagers when they go back.
