"It's nerve-wracking." As soon as Tian Chunda said this, Ke Runze suddenly swallowed his saliva with a stiff expression.

"Don't you drink coffee?" Ke Runze asked.

"Thank you. Before that, you can add a few things. Do you remember something? ”

"I can't think much about it. …… No, it's not right to say no. If you want to say that there is, there is. However, no matter how much I try to prove my alibi, there are things that can be said and things that cannot be said. ”

"How?"

"I don't really want anyone to know about it."

Tian Chunda couldn't help but show a reproachful look. In this case, in addition to the puppet making room, she must have other alibi.

"Now is not the time to hesitate. This is an important moment that will determine your fate, what is it exactly? ”

"......" the woman swallowed her saliva again.

"Alright, please speak."

So she seemed to have finally made up her mind to look up. "Can you promise me not to tell anyone?"

"I promise you will never tell anyone except for the need for investigation."

"Well, then, please come with me to that place. It's easier for you to understand going there than saying it here. ”

She stood up without touching the coffee, and Tian Chunda followed behind her.

The two of them returned to the dark rain again. After a short walk through the level crossing, you will reach the intersection. On the left and right, there is a wide asphalt road that is dark and wet.

"The road is called the Water Road. You can also take a ride, but it is a hassle to get on and off the bus, so please walk over and walk one stop away. ”

"It's okay."

They turned left on the waterway and started walking forward. I didn't know how many hours to walk on the Jingu National Road, and there was a lot of truck traffic there, but it was nothing compared to here. If you just chat casually, you might get knocked out at any time.

After walking about 800 meters, Ke Runze stopped and looked back at the officer.

"From here, turn left and you'll get to Vinh Phuc Station. The temple we will visit later is right next to the station. ”

What is the matter with going to the temple? But you should know it. Tian Chunda didn't ask any more unnecessary questions, and followed Ke Runze into the road to the station. There are many small shops on both sides, and behind the closed rainproof windows, the sound of TV and the cry of babies can be heard.

Ke Runze stopped and pointed to the stone door next to him. "This is it, it's called Eifukuji Temple."

The two of them walked through the temple gate and walked onto the stone-paved road to the inside. When I turned around in front of the dark main hall building, I saw the lights in the abbot's room behind me. Even so, what does the secret she doesn't want people to know have to do with the monks of this temple?

As soon as Ke Runze spoke, a hoarse voice immediately responded, and a tall figure of a monk appeared at the door.

"Who is it?"

"That, I'm Ke Runze. Thank you for taking care of the last night......"

"Ah, it's that young lady, please come in."

The figure replied as he stood in the doorway.

"No, it's fine here. There's something I'd like to ask you about that won't take much of your time. ”

The tall man came out of the verandah. Under the dim light, it can be seen that he is a middle-aged monk who seems to be 1.8 meters tall. His freshly shaved head looked pale in the dark, and he was dressed in a black sweater and black trousers, not much like a monk, and he was not yet fifty years old. After he and Ke Runze greeted each other, they looked at Tian Chunda who was standing there in surprise.

"Who is this?"

"He is a criminal policeman from the Nanguang City Criminal Investigation Detachment."

"Mr. Detective? Oh. ”

His voice sounded surprised.

Tian Chunda nodded gently. Because he couldn't figure it out, he always felt unhappy.

"So, what's the matter?"

"Can you please tell Mr. Detective about that night? Just focus on the key points and give a rough idea. ”

"What do you say? Say ...... to the detectives? ”

The monk didn't seem to understand what the other party really meant, and asked her again.

"It's okay, Mr. Detective has sworn to me that he will not leak it to others."

The monk's huge bald head remained motionless for a long time. I can't see it because of the backlight, but I guess I'm staring at the criminal police with questioning eyes. seems to think it's strange, why does Tian Chunda want to hear about what happened that night? But it didn't take long for him to agree, and he lowered his voice in a hoarse voice.

"Mr. Detective, speaking of this, it was this young lady who was attacked by gangsters when she was passing behind my temple. When I heard her screams and ran over with a stick with a latch, the man had already fled. Luckily, the young lady was not injured, but she was very frightened, so I asked her to rest in the temple for a while before sending her back to the apartment. Although it was an attempted rape, it was not a glorious thing for an unmarried woman. So I promised her not to call the police, and I have remained silent until now. ”

I see, so that's why she won't say anything at the last minute. Only then did Tian Chunda understand the reason why Ke Runze had been silent.

When did this happen? Can you know exactly what time it is? ”

"Wait a minute, because I've written it in my diary, and I'll find out if I look at it. Miss, although I wrote a diary, it was only to the extent of a memo, and I didn't write your name or anything like that. ”

After he left this sentence for Ke Runze, he entered the gate.

"Mr. Detective, do you understand this?"

"Hmm."

"All I had was torn underwear and nothing else. However, if this kind of thing gets out, it will affect my family. I didn't even mention it to my parents back home. ”

"No, I can understand your concern about this. That's why I made a promise with you that I wouldn't leak it out. ”

"At that time, it was thanks to Master who came over. Although I hate to go through this kind of place, but to get back to my apartment from the station, walking behind the temple is a shortcut. But I'm so embarrassed to be in a diary,"

She was shy to add to it. The way she speaks makes people realize that she is a woman, and she is very coquettish.

Soon after, the monk came out with the diary in one hand. He was on the verandah, turning the page with the bookmark on it.

"Mr. Detective, here. On the evening of September 8th, around half past eleven. And Miss, you have to be careful. After all, this world is very unpeaceful, and you are so beautiful. ”

The monk made a joke that was very inappropriate for the monk's status, and smiled heartily.

Ke Runze seemed to answer something, but the voice did not reach the ears of the criminal police. With the light leaking out of the open door, Tian Chunda pursued the words on the diary. Not long after, the sound in the head of the criminal police collapsed.

Qiao Xiang's alibi proved that there were testimonies from firefighters and colleagues, so it was a very clear fact, and now Ke Runze's alibi was established by the testimony of the monks, which was really a blow. Tian Chunda stood helplessly in the drizzle, and the chill crept up from his wet shoes to his knees.

At the same time, the criminal police Hao Dong is investigating Xiao Long's college classmate Ma Ming.

"Xiao Long and I graduated from Nanguang Medical University at the same time. However, because I am a student who graduated from a different high school, and he specializes in surgery, and I am an ophthalmology, even though we are in the same class, the relationship is not very close. Ma Ming said.

Dr. Ma Ming lit a cigarette and continued, "Xiao Long was also born in Kanazawa, and after graduation, he went on to see a doctor in Nanguang City, so he didn't have a chance to meet me, who came back to Kanazawa for a doctor. We didn't even send each other New Year's cards. ”

Hao Dong nodded and waited for him to continue.

"But at the beginning of this month, a man asked me, Xiao Long, who I haven't seen for a long time, is going back to Jinze, do you want to have a meal together? That person is also a friend who graduated from Nanguang Medical University in the same year, named Ren Zhengfu. I had a good relationship with him, so I didn't think too much about it, and I didn't think it was right to refuse, so I agreed to him. Then on the evening of the eighth of this month, that is, the day the case occurred on the beach, I went to Ren's house to meet Xiao Long and have dinner together. ”

Hao Dong nodded silently.
