Chapter 177: One Step Late

"Scar's Third Child"

Mi Xiaoxia frowned slightly, as if there was a particularly important matter, but he couldn't think of it for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Hehe, there was another interesting thing about that Scar Third at the time. ā€

Old man Liu smiled and continued.

"At that time, there was a Yue family in Sucheng, our aunt, who was a well-known family. There is a young lady in the Yue family, the old toad with a scar who wants to eat swan meat, but somehow he falls in love with the young lady of the Yue family, and walks around outside the Yue family's mansion every day. ā€

"Yue's family!"

Hearing this, Mi Xiaoxia was suddenly stunned, and actually contacted the Yue family again. The original broken clue has finally been continued!

"It's the Yue family, and then a big incident happened, the Yue family was full of dozens of people, and all of them were killed overnight!"

Speaking of this, Old Man Liu couldn't help but sigh for a while, took a sip of wine, and continued.

"Because the incident happened shortly after the marriage of Miss Yue's family, we all suspected at that time that it was the third scar who held a grudge, so he took the Black Fox Ridge bandits to ransack the Yue family. ā€

"It was also because of this incident that there was a lot of uproar in the city at that time, and we had to go to encircle and suppress Black Fox Ridge. Otherwise, who wants to fight with the bandits. ā€

Yuejia ...... Miss Yue...... Scar's third ...... This scar third is that key person!

Scar...... There seemed to be a flash of light in Mi Xiaoxia's mind, and he stood up suddenly, suddenly thinking of something.

"Thanks for the advice, I still have something to do, so let's go first. ā€

Mi Xiaoxia showed a hint of ecstasy on his face, then said goodbye to Old Man Liu, turned around and left.

"Young people nowadays don't have any patience at all. ā€

Seeing Mi Xiaoxia's hurried steps, he had already left the hospital in a blink of an eye. Liu Laohan pursed his lips, picked up the wine jug and shook it, and couldn't help but show a smile, and there was more than half a jug.

At this time, Mi Xiaoxia rode on a horse, and went straight out of Gusu City and went straight to Hanshan Temple.

When he heard the name Scar San, Mi Xiaoxia faintly felt that something was missing, but he couldn't remember it for a while. It wasn't until Old Man Liu said Miss Yue again that Mi Xiaoxia suddenly remembered someone.

The old monk of Hanshan Temple is Yuanming!

Yuanming is a green title, ordinary people in the rivers and lakes. And in the corner of his eye, isn't there a hideous scar!

Of course, this can also be a coincidence. After all, just one scar does not mean that Yuan Ming is the third scar child. But Mi Xiaoxia has an intuition, Yuan Ming is the third scar child!

Anyway, find Yuanming and ask, and everything will be clear.

Mi Xiaoxia hurried up, and he couldn't wait to fly to Hanshan Temple immediately.

Boom...... Boom...... Boom......

When Mi Xiaoxia rushed to Hanshan Temple, he first heard a long bell. Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help frowning, it was not yet time to ring the bell in the evening.

An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness swelled up in his heart, tied the horse, and walked quickly into the Hanshan Temple.

After entering the temple, he didn't even see a monk, and Mi Xiaoxia became more and more uneasy. searched around, and finally found everyone in a side hall.

I saw all the monks gathered in a circle, all with solemn expressions, their hands folded and their eyebrows lowered, and they were reciting the 'Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra'. Looking inside, there was an old monk lying on a bamboo mat, it was Yuan Ming!

It's just that at this time, Yuanming's body was stiff, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and there was a dark red blood mark on his neck.

Mi Xiaoxia was shocked when he landed, Yuan Ming was actually dead!

"How can this be ......"

Mi Xiaoxia was stunned, he just suspected that Yuan Ming was the third scar child, why did Yuan Ming die. And looking at the scars on his neck, it is clear that his throat was cut with a sharp weapon.

Is it murder?

Mi Xiaoxia lost his mind slightly, if this is the case, the other party is inevitably too fast, he has just begun to doubt Yuan Ming's identity, who can have such magical powers?

After a while, Mi Xiaoxia sighed, death is great, and everything else has to be put aside for the time being. Then sit down cross-legged and chant with the monks to achieve a clear time.

At night, Yuan Ming's body is temporarily placed in the side hall, with the Buddha statue in the light, and will be cremated tomorrow.

At this time, Mi Xiaoxia found the abbot and asked about the cause of Yuan Ming's death. He vaguely felt that this was related to his investigation of the Yue family's murder case, otherwise it would be too coincidental.

"We didn't see the murderer either, we only heard Yuan Ming screaming in the firewood room. By the time the monk rushed in, Yuan Ming had already collapsed in a pool of blood. ā€

"No other clues?"

"There was only a blood-stained sword on the ground, and the window was opened. Presumably, the murderer found out that someone was coming, panicked, threw his weapon and jumped out of the window to escape. ā€

Listening to the abbot's words, Mi Xiaoxia frowned. Based on these alone, it is really difficult to determine the identity of the murderer. Previously, Mi Xiaoxia checked Yuan Ming's corpse, and the wound was very ordinary, and he couldn't tell which sect of martial arts it was.

Mi Xiaoxia couldn't help but sigh, it would be nice if fingerprints could be checked in this era. Just check the fingerprints on the long sword to know who the murderer is.

"Amitabha, Yuanming has been in the temple for five years, serving the Buddha and not arguing with others, but I didn't expect to suffer this disaster today. ā€

The abbot pronounced a Buddha name, and even if he was a high-ranking monk, his face still showed a faint sadness.

"What did you say?"

Mi Xiaoxia was stunned and hurriedly asked.

"Master Abbot, you just said that Master Yuanming did not become a monk more than ten years ago, but only came to the temple in the last five years?"

"Exactly. ā€

Master Abbot nodded and said.

"Yuan Ming came to my Hanshan Temple five years ago to place an order, and then he stayed. It's been almost five years. ā€

Hearing this, Mi Xiaoxia frowned slightly.

Originally, he thought that seventeen years ago, the Black Fox Ridge Cottage was swept away, and the third scar secretly came to Hanshan Temple to become a monk, so as to avoid pursuit. But if Yuan Ming came here five years ago, then where is he for another ten years?

Of course, the premise of all this conjecture is that Yuan Ming is the third scar child.

"Master Abbot, I want to go to Master Yuanming's room to have a look, is it okay. ā€

"The donor is at his own convenience. ā€

Mi Xiaoxia said goodbye to the abbot and went to Yuanming's room.

There is nothing special about Yuanming's room, just a very ordinary monk's room. Compared to Mi Xiaoxia's room, it is even slightly narrower.

There were no tables and chairs in the house, only two futons. In addition to the bed, there is an extra cabinet for things.

Mi Xiaoxia glanced around the Yuanming room, wanting to see if he could find some clues.

First of all, the mattress, Mi Xiaoxia looked through it carefully, and there was nothing except the clean and neat bedding.

Then came the cupboard, which Mi Xiaoxia opened. I saw that in addition to some bedding, there were only two changed monk's robes. Mi Xiaoxia frowned and looked through his clothes and bedding.

"It's ......"

Originally, Mi Xiaoxia didn't have much hope, but what surprised him was that he found a letter under the futon!

On the envelope was written the words 'My son personally opened'.

Mi Xiaoxia frowned slightly, does Yuanming still have children? After a moment of silence, Mi Xiaoxia opened the envelope.
