At this moment, even Yao Shaoyin sensed that something was wrong.

Ordinary people are clearly regarded as suspects, and they will panic somewhat, this Xuanyin Master is too calm to forget it, and he even seems to be faintly provoking them!

Such a murderer is the first time he has seen him!

Xu Jing looked at Master Xuanyin, and said with a smile: "Of course, I bother Master Xuanyin to call these two little masters over." ”

Soon, the two little nuns came to Xu Jing and them, and one of the little nuns was the little master who spoke to Xu Jing at the beginning!

When she saw Xu Jing, her eyes widened slightly, and she seemed to be very surprised, Xu Jing glanced at her, and said lightly: "Yao Shaoyin and I came to track down the murderer who killed Sister-in-law Wu and Jiang Sanniang. We called you here to ask a few words, who among you is Jinglian? ”

Hearing that Sister-in-law Wu and Jiang Sanniang were dead, the two little nuns looked incredulous, and when they heard Xu Jing's last sentence, the little nun with a round face looked at the very honest and said timidly: "I...... I'm Jinglian......"

She looked younger than Miao Lian, probably twelve or thirteen years old.

Xu Jing said in a soft tone as much as possible: "I'll ask you a few questions, you don't have to be afraid, on December 20th, Master Xuanyin said that she had been in the room all night to read the scriptures, and the person who was guarding the door at that time was you, but so?" ”

Jing Lian immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I was guarding the master at that time. ”

"Around the time of the ugly time, have you ever seen your master with your own eyes?"

Jing Lian was slightly stunned, immediately realized something, and said with some uneasiness: "You, do you suspect that my master is a murderer?" It's impossible, Master wouldn't do such a thing! What's more, on that day, although Master had been in the room and did not come out, she lit the lamp in the room, and her figure was always printed on the sliding door, and she sat like this until dawn, and I watched it with my own eyes! ”

The sliding door she said is probably a door made of wooden strips and paper, this kind of door is also very popular in Dachu, this kind of door is thin and translucent, if you light the light in the room at night, the figure of the person will be very clearly printed on the door paper.

Yao Shaoyin hurriedly asked, "Are you sure you were awake that day?" Or is that indeed your master's figure? ”

Jing Lian's face turned slightly red, and she said, "Of course, I was in charge of guarding the door for Master that day!" How can you be lazy! Moreover, I—how could I mistake Master's figure! ”

Xu Jing said lightly: "I believe you are not lazy, but you have been guarding the door all night, and you have never left at all?" ”

Jing Lian was slightly stunned and said, "I left twice because I went to the thatched house, but each time I went to the thatched house, it didn't take more than a quarter of an hour!" ”

Xu Jing immediately asked, "When did you go to the thatched house?" ”

"Big, about the time of Shen (four o'clock in the afternoon) and the time of Hai (ten o'clock in the evening) ......"

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, "Isn't Shen Shizheng in the afternoon?" Master Xuanyin began to consult the scriptures so early? ”

Jing Lian nodded, and said, "That day, that day, Master's affairs were completed early, and it was rare that there were no other arrangements in the afternoon, so she said that she would spend more time to consult the scriptures in her hand, and the scriptures had been in her hands for so long, because she was too busy with affairs, she had not had the opportunity to study them properly, so that the translation process was greatly slowed down." ”

"But Shen Shizheng, shouldn't you have dinner yet?"

"That day, the master specially explained that he would not eat dinner, and the master did not have much appetite in the first place, which is a common thing......"

"In other words, not long after your master entered the room to read the scriptures, you went to the thatched house?"

"Yes, I, I'm used to going to the hut at the beginning of the gate......"

"And how long are you going to keep watch?"

"If the candle in Master's room is extinguished, it means that Master is going to rest, and Master said before that we can go back to rest directly at that time, and we don't need to ask her specifically."

Xu Jing frowned.

It shows that until the end, they didn't see Mrs. Xuanyin with their own eyes, nor did they hear a word from her.

Xu Jing asked again: "When did the candle in your master's room go out on the night you guarded the door?" ”

"Master rested early that day, and the candle flame was extinguished at about two o'clock in the morning."

Xu Jing couldn't help but secretly exchange a look with Yao Shaoyin, then turned to Miao Lian on the side, and said, "I heard that on the night of December 27th, Master Xuanyin was also studying the scriptures all night, and it was you who guarded the door at that time, what was the situation of the gatekeeper that day?" ”

Miao Lian was calmer than Jing Lian, and said: "My situation is similar to Jing Lian, Master's figure has been cast on the sliding door all night, and at about 11 o'clock in the evening, Master also came out to call me to make a pot of tea......

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "After that, can your master still come out, or ask you to do something?" ”

Miao Lian shook her head, "No. ”

After a pause, she added with some uneasiness, "Master is a high-ranking monk who has attained the Dao, unlike us, when we cultivate on weekdays, we sit still all day long, and once Master concentrates on something, she will forget everything around her, and it is not normal for her to come out from time to time or ask us to do things." ”

As if trying to make Xu Jing feel that it was normal for her master to sit still or not speak all night.

If it is usual, it may indeed be normal for Master Xuanyin to be like this.

But not these two nights.

Xu Jing's eyes were slightly dark, and she only said, "I understand, did you leave your master's door like Jinglian that day?" ”

Miao Lian bit her lip and said after a while, "Leave ......"

"When?"

"I left once, and around three o'clock in the morning, I went to a thatched hut......"

Xu Jing looked at her thoughtfully, "When you guard the door for your master, do you often go to the thatched house?" ”

Miao Lian's face flushed slightly, and said, "People and people have three urgencies, this is a normal thing, right?" We are not like Master, who has cultivated for so many years and can easily settle down for a whole day. ”

"Then when did the lights in your master's room go out on the day you guarded the door?"

"It's around six o'clock in the morning."

Xu Jing nodded, and said with a faint smile: "My question is finished, you can leave first." ”

They were sitting at a stone table in the backyard of Jingyuan Nunnery at this time, and after the two little nuns left, Yao Shaoyin immediately said: "Xu Niangzi, in this case, it shouldn't be difficult for Master Xuanyin to forge her alibi, as long as she takes advantage of the time when the two little masters leave, put a doll about the same size as herself that she has prepared a long time ago in front of the desk, and then she will secretly leave."

As for the candles in the room, some of the thicker candles can burn for a long time, and it is no problem to burn for five or six hours, as long as Master Xuanyin leaves, ensure that the time when the candle flame burns can cover the time when she committed the murder. ”

In some places, when weddings are held, there is a custom that dragon and phoenix candles are burned all night.

Xu Jing glanced at him and said, "That's right, Master Xuanyin often asks her disciples to help her guard the door, and she must know that the disciples often go to the thatched house when they guard the door, and she also knows some of their habits of going to the thatched house."

Sister-in-law Wu fell from the roof when she was ugly, but now the city gate will be closed at about six o'clock in the afternoon, so Mrs. Xuanyin deliberately entered the room early that day to study the scriptures, and called Jinglian to guard the door, because she knew that Jinglian usually went to the thatched house at the beginning of the guard.

In this way, she Shen Shizheng can leave Jingyuan Nunnery, although Jingyuan Nunnery is some distance away from Xijing City, but an hour is enough for her to advance to the city with the city gate closed. ”

Xu Jing paused, and said in a deep voice: "And Jiang Sanniang left the Jiang family that day, it is very likely that she went out of the city, and the murderer killed her by Xiao Dongjiang, who brought her back to the city after the city gate opened, so Master Xuanyin only needs to leave Jingyuan Nunnery before the city gate opens, find Jiang Sanniang, and then she can commit her crime!" ”

Therefore, she doesn't need the disciples guarding the door to go to the hut at a certain time, just know that they will go at a certain time when they are guarding the door!

It's no wonder that after Master Xuanyin saw Yao Shaoyin, he didn't even want to pretend.

Because she knows very well that since they have already found out here, sooner or later they will find out that she is the most suspected of murder!

Yao Shaoyin immediately slapped the table and said, "In this case, as long as we can find the puppet that Master Xuanyin used as a stand-in, we can basically prove that she is the murderer!" ”

Even if this doesn't directly prove that she is a murderer, it can also prove that she is suspected of committing a major crime!

Xu Jing was silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled and said, "I'm afraid things won't be so simple." ”
