Chapter 375 Murderer
In order to verify his speculation, Gu Qingyi decided to go there and give it a try himself.

But she didn't expect that she would make a new discovery just after she got behind the Buddha statue.

She originally intended to try out which posture would be less likely to be seen, but while moving she accidentally kicked the bottom of the Buddha statue, causing a dull thud.

This was obviously not a sound that could be made by solid stone. Gu Qingyi immediately realized that there was something wrong here.

So she squatted down, fumbled for a while, and actually took down the stone slab in front of her. Only then did she discover that the bottom of the Buddha statue was hollow.

Later, another body was found inside.

Gu Qingyi was already a little numb. Although she ran away from home just to become a detective and satisfy her detective addiction, encountering three corpses in one night was still a bit too exciting for a novice.

Moreover, this was a headless corpse, naked, and could only be barely identified as a young male.

Fortunately, there was something under the Buddha statue. After Gu Qingyi and Malu moved the headless body out, they found the head from underneath.

And there are two bags.

One of them should be the head of the headless corpse, but the second head that Gu Qingyi took out made the scholar's face change.

Because that was clearly He Qisheng's head.

The scholar didn't expect that He Qisheng would actually die just as Malu said.

This made him stand still.

Malu was not surprised at all to see He Qisheng's head. Instead, he was a little surprised by the new corpse.

Although he looked surprised, he was not polite with his hands and took the opportunity to touch it when he went up to help.

But what I got this time was a bit ordinary—a Li Family Fist card pack.

Opening the card pack, there are only 3 types of boxing techniques, and each of them has only one level. The power of the strongest move is only 2 points, which is stronger than the basic boxing technique, but only slightly stronger.

Malu even suspected that the deceased was not a martial artist, and guessed that he was just a street thug.

"Does anyone...know who he is?"

Gu Qingyi placed the new corpse on the ground and asked everyone around him, but got no answer.

Gu Qingyi was also having doubts at this moment. When she first heard about the murder, she felt that her chance to show her talents had come.

But this case was obviously more complicated than she had imagined. Not only had the cause of He Qisheng's death not been solved, but two new bodies had been found, and there were more and more mysteries.

Gu Qingyi began to feel that she had been a little reckless in taking out the Iron Armor Sect's warrant. If the murderer could not be caught in the end, it would be a small matter for her to be embarrassed, but it would be a loss to bring shame to the Iron Armor Sect.

Just when Gu Qingyi was worrying about how to maintain the prestige of the Tieyi Sect, Malu took a few steps back calmly and stood behind her.

Gu Qingyi noticed the millipede's little movement and whispered.

"Did you find something?"

Malu nodded, leaned close to her ear, and uttered six words, "The murderer is still in the temple."

"Ah?" Gu Qingyi almost couldn't help but exclaimed, looked around, and then asked, "How did you know?" "Because except for He Qisheng, the bodies we found were all in the temple, and there were no other footprints outside the temple. This means that the murderer brought the bodies back after killing people. If it was done by someone outside, there would be no need to do this."

Malu took a deep breath.

Gu Qingyi thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he asked, "Then who do you think is the murderer?"

Malu did not answer the question directly, but said, "In fact, the wrong options have been almost eliminated. The remaining one, no matter how impossible it seems, is the correct answer."

Before Gu Qingyi had time to think about what he said, he heard the tall and thin disciple of Songxi Sword Sect suddenly shout.

"You are the murderer who killed my senior brother!"

He stared at Malu. "Come to think of it, I have suspected you for a long time. There are so many people in the temple, but you are the only one whose origin is unclear. You don't have a bag with you, and you are wearing night clothes. You appear alone in this desolate mountain. Haha, you look suspicious no matter how you look at it."

Gu Qingyi heard this and defended Ma Lu, "He is not the murderer. I have sparred with him before. He has no martial arts skills at all. How could he have killed He Qisheng?"

Another disciple of Songxi Sword School also said at this time, "Don't be fooled by Gu Shenfei. Maybe he secretly changed his deck when sparring with you and pretended that he didn't know martial arts in order to cover up his identity as a killer."

After hearing what he said, Gu Qingyi was a little hesitant.

The main reason is that Millipede's behavior is indeed a bit too different from that of an ordinary person. He doesn't even know the basic rules of playing cards. He doesn't look like a normal person at all.

If he was pretending, then everything could be explained.

However, Gu Qingyi was still unwilling to believe that Ma Lu was the murderer. Seeing the two disciples of Songxi Sword School coming over, she subconsciously stood in front of them.

The two Songxi Sword Sect disciples' expressions suddenly changed, "Captain Gu, what do you mean by this?"

"There must be some misunderstanding here." Gu Qingyi said in a deep voice, "If you are talking about disguise, anyone can disguise themselves. Why don't you suspect others, such as the family of three over there?"

She pointed casually at the beautiful middle-aged woman who was feeding medicine to a man.

After the body appeared, their family huddled in a corner and didn't join in the fun, just sneaking glances over here from time to time, which was consistent with the reaction of ordinary people who don't want to get involved in trouble.

Therefore, no one suspected them, and the two disciples of Songxi Sword Sect obviously did not think they would be the murderer.

Especially since the man looked really sick and had been coughing almost the entire night as if he was going to cough out his lungs. He didn't look like someone who could kill someone.

Seeing Gu Qingyi's unreasonable demands, the tall and thin man finally couldn't help himself and said, "Humph, you are protecting him so much, I think your identity and origin are probably questionable. Did you steal the divine arrest warrant?"

This is actually what many people think.

Although Gu Qingyi calls himself a detective and has the token of the Iron Armor Sect, his performance tonight does not seem like a qualified detective.

The more bodies were found, the more clues there were about the murderer. It was only because of the Iron Armor Sect's great reputation that no one questioned her.

But now seeing Gu Qingyi stopping them from arresting the murderer of their senior brother, the tall and thin man could no longer care about so much.

Gu Qingyi also became anxious after hearing this, "Give me some more time, I'm almost done with it."

"Forget it, don't waste your energy." Another disciple of Songxi Sword School also mocked, "What have you found out? You said the murderer is in Aunt Zheng's family. I think you are desperate and want to find someone to blame."
