The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

In the meditation room of Jie Ming, there was no information worth paying attention to except for that scripture.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong led everyone to leave the meditation room of Jie Ming and walk around to the second row of houses. Although it was also a double room, the environment here was undoubtedly better than the third row.

Rank was ubiquitous.

When they arrived outside the meditation room of the Jie Chi, they saw that the head of the discipline, Jie Chen, and Monk Jie Xiu had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong had led the team to arrive, Jie Chen's face suddenly darkened a bit. However, Jie Xiu hurriedly welcomed him, leaned forward, and asked, "I dare to ask you all, has the culprit who killed Jie Ming been found out?”

Private Advisor Qi and Wei Ruolan were both a bit embarrassed when asked, but Qiu Yunfei confidently said on the side, "How is it so easy to find out the real culprit?! But don't worry, today, My Lord in charge of governance personally came forward and discovered an important clue in just a moment. It won't be long before the truth is revealed.”

“Found important clues?”

The voice of Jie Xiu's surprise trembled a bit, and he folded his palms and recited the Buddhist name, saying, "Amitabha, if Jie Ming in the underworld knows...”

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Shaozong suddenly asked, "When was the last time you saw Jie Ming?”

Jie Xiu was stunned when asked, holding his palms together for a while before answering, "On the morning of July 14th, I met with Jie Ming during morning classes, and after that...”

He shook his head and said with a lost expression, "After that, when I saw him again, he was already nailed to death in front of the mountain gate.”

“So what was his mood when you saw him? Was he more anxious than a few days ago, or…”

“Emotions?”

Jie Xiu tried hard to recall for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Because we didn't say a few words before we parted ways, I can't tell if he's more anxious than before.”

He couldn’t find any mistakes in his words. Only by investigating in secret could he determine whether he was telling the truth.

Sun Shaozong nodded noncommittally and saw that Zhao Wuwei had checked the seal and pushed the door open. He shouted, "Master Jie Chen, could you please tell me about the situation when the body was discovered?”

“The first person discovered was Jie Yi, who shared the same room as Jie Shi. That night, he was ordered to lead two young monks to guard Monk Jie Xiu, who had violated the rules. Therefore, he didn’t return to the meditation room until dawn to prepare for morning classes.”

“When Jie Yi arrived at the entrance of the West Cross Courtyard, he was just in time for Jie Chen to lead his disciple to unlock. So the three of them walked together. After Jie Yi discovered the body and screamed in fear, Jie Chen's master and disciple immediately rushed to the scene.”

Therefore, it was reasonable for Sun Shaozong to ask Jie Chen to explain the situation when the body was discovered.

Just with a calm face, Sun Shaozong followed into the room and heard as he explored around and casually asked, "According to the information I have, the reason for the suspension of Jie Xiu on July 14th was just because he accidentally collided with people in the cafeteria. Did he have this kind of temperament normally?”

“This…”

After a moment of hesitation, Jie Chen shook his head and said, "I am the first monk in the Discipline Academy, and I am not very familiar with the situation in the Monastery Reception.”

"Then you have been secretly investigating for a long time. Have you found out who was the one that spread the news about Jie Xian's ”compel a female to engage in prostitution?”

“This…”

Jie Chen still hesitated a bit, but shook his head for a while and said, "I haven't found out who spread the news, but I've found out that the news was first spread from within the Monastery Reception.”

“Has Jie Chi, who died here, ever participated in the matter of ”Mrs. Fan?”

“Yes.”

This time, he finally made up his mind and said, "Originally, I had already found out that Jie Chi had colluded with a married woman under the instigation of Jie Xian and was about to try to capture the true evidence. However, to my surprise, Jie Xian and Jie Zhi died one after another, and this clue naturally came to an end.”

However, immediately he frowned and said, "But according to my investigation, Jie Ming didn’t participate in this matter. Therefore... Perhaps the murderer did not kill for this matter?!”

Was he beating around the bush to defend himself?

Or was it from the bottom of his heart?

“How many people are involved in this matter besides Jie Chi?”

“There are about four or five people, all of whom have real power in the Monastery Reception. However, after Jie Xian’s incident, they cut off contact with those women, and I naturally can’t obtain any real evidence.”

It seemed like a corrupted case.

However, this was also normal. The responsibility of the Monastery Reception was originally to welcome and send, and it was most closely related to the rolling world of mortals. Therefore, the probability of the monks in the Monastery Reception falling was naturally higher than that of other monks.

Moreover, the first monk in the Monastery Reception, Jie Nian, might not necessarily be clean himself. If the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was also crooked, the results could be imagined. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Sun Shaozong was investigating the scene while pondering the case. The monk who had been asked these questions couldn't hold back his temper and said in a deep voice, "Actually, no matter how much you ask, I'm afraid it's a waste of effort.”

Sun Shaozong stopped and raised his eyebrows in surprise, saying, "What do you mean?”

Jie Chen said without hesitation, "In my opinion, this case is clearly the demon's lingering soul, wanting to kill us to vent his anger! Moreover, we all have circumstantial evidence, and we can't be the true culprit who killed three people. Isn't it absurd for several adults to pester us so hard?”
