Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 443 Attacked.

If the thief did not attack Chang Shou because he picked up a pearl in the Qixing Temple, then what would it be?

Hwarang looked at Changshou and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Apart from this pearl, what else did you find?"

Chang Shou shook his head: "I went to the Seven Star Temple on the Double Ninth Festival just to see if I could have good luck. I didn't look much, and because of the disappearance case in the Seven Star Temple, I didn't dare to go out."

After listening to Chang Shou's words, Hwarang nodded slightly, and then asked: "You said that you saw a white shadow on the sword mountain when you were hunting, is this true?"

Chang Shou nodded again and again: "Of course it is true, but the white shadow flashed by, so I didn't pay much attention."

"When did that happen?"

"Two years ago, but I only saw it once."

Afterwards, Hwarang had nothing to ask, he ordered the two yamen servants to continue to protect Changshou, and then he, Yin Wucuo and others prepared to climb the mountain.

On the way up the mountain, Yin Wucuo asked: "Now that the thief attacked Changshou at the foot of the mountain, is it possible that the thief is not on the mountain, but at the bottom?"

After Yin Wucuo said this, Hua Wan'er quickly followed suit. After all, it took the murderer a lot of time to go up and down the mountain. How could he go down the mountain at night and then attack Changshou before climbing the mountain?

This is physical work, and it is definitely not something that can be done at a high level.

After Yin Wucuo and Hua Wan'er finished speaking, Hua Lang nodded slightly: "There is indeed such a possibility, but another possibility is not ruled out. The murderer has always been in the Qixing Temple, and the person who attacked Changshou was only It's just the people he sent, so it's not impossible to spread information from the mountain!"

There is nothing wrong with Wen Meng, they naturally understand that human intelligence is sometimes really incomprehensible, and some communication between human beings is unknown to outsiders. Sometimes, some news can be spread silently. No matter how far apart.

At this time, Hwarang continued: "In the past few years, many people have disappeared in the Qixing Temple. I don't think it is possible that outsiders stayed in the Qixing Temple and then committed the crime. If this is the case, the past As long as the investigators look at the list of some pilgrims, they can immediately find clues, so I think the murderer should still be on the mountain."

Now that Hwarang has said so, Yin Wucuo and the others have no choice but to stop defending.

But when they were approaching the Seven Star Temple, they suddenly saw thick smoke coming out of the Seven Star Temple, as if there was a fire inside.

When they arrived at the Qixing Temple, it was already a mess inside, but the smoke was much less, and Bao Zheng was surrounded by a group of yamen servants, as if he was guarding against something.

Seeing Hua Lang and the others, Gongsun Ce quickly went up to meet them, saying, "Brother Hua, it's really great that you are back."

Hwarang was a little puzzled, and quickly asked: "What happened, it seems to be on fire inside, why don't you go to put out the fire?"

At this time, Wang Chao, who was standing aside, said, "Brother Hua, alas, we were all careless, and Master Bao was injured!"

After hearing Wang Chao's words, Hua Lang noticed that Bao Zheng's arm seemed to be immobile, but he didn't understand, how could Bao Zheng be injured?

"What's going on here?" Hwarang asked again.

Gongsun Ce sighed and said, "Someone wants to assassinate Mr. Bao!"

Hualang Yin Wucuo and the others were taken aback, so they asked Gongsun Ce to explain the matter clearly, but Gongsun Ce seemed a little embarrassed, and finally Bao Zheng came and said, "Let me tell the story. After you leave, I and all the yamen servants The brothers went back to the house to rest for a while, but at this time, the kitchen of Qixing Temple suddenly caught fire. I saw the fire was fierce, so I ordered the yamen servants to put out the fire, but just as the yamen servants left, suddenly a man in black came He rushed into my room and wanted to kill me, if Wang Chao and Ma Han hadn’t rushed back because they were worried about me, I’m afraid my old life would have been lost!”

"Can you see the murderer's figure and appearance clearly?"

"No, the situation was chaotic at that time, and the murderer failed to kill me with one blow, so he fled immediately."

After listening to Bao Zheng's narration, Hua Lang frowned, as if he had thought of something, he finally figured out what had always made him feel wrong.

Why hasn't the disappearance case happened for two years, but just after they moved into the Seven Star Temple, another person disappeared suddenly?

In the past, Hwarang couldn't figure it out. He didn't believe that murders happened wherever detectives went, so there must be a cause and effect. Now that Bao Zheng was assassinated, he finally understood that the reason for the disappearance was two years ago. It reappeared later because Bao Zheng was to be left behind.

In such a lonely temple, the assassination is perfect.

Maybe the murderer wanted to do something on the night when Bao Zheng and the others first moved in. It was only because there were four people guarding the court that night, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu, so the murderer wanted to kill one person, keep Bao Zheng first, and then Find an opportunity to attack Bao Zheng, such as today's fire.

After thinking about it this way, there is a problem that must be solved, that is, why did the murderer want to assassinate Bao Zheng?If you just don't want Bao Zheng to find out the case here, it really doesn't make sense, because if Bao Zheng dies in this Seven Star Temple, then the court will definitely not give up. Imprisoned in prison, at this time I am afraid that the investigation will also reveal the truth. The killing of court officials is not a trivial matter.

Moreover, the murderer seems to have accomplices, otherwise he would not have murdered and set fire here, and then sent someone to attack Chang Shou's down the mountain.

Hua Lang rested his chin in thought. In Duanzhou, who could have trouble with Bao Zheng? There should be no one. The common people can't do it, and the businessmen can't do it either, because Bao Zheng has always been impartial and selfless, and is deeply loved by the people. If other officials were changed, the common people and merchants here would have to suffer so much!

After much deliberation, the only people who have the motive to kill Bao Zheng are the people from Tsing Yi Society.

During the three years in Duanzhou, Mo Sigong must have cultivated a lot of forces in the Tsingyi Club. Now that Mo Sigong was killed, Bao Zheng was ordered to come to Duanzhou to serve as the magistrate, and there was a secret order to destroy the Tsingyi Club. The only person who hated Bao Zheng the most was The members of the Tsing Yi Society are dead, and without Bao Zheng, Hwarang will lose his support. At that time, it will be much easier for them to deal with Hwarang.

The murderer is extremely likely to be a member of the Tsing Yi Club, Hua Lang's heart suddenly sank, he really didn't want to involve this matter in the Tsing Yi Club, but the current situation cannot be controlled by him.

The fire in the Qixing Temple had already been extinguished, and the monks inside were all disheveled. Murong Qing and the pilgrim couple were still in their guest room. After all, although the fire was big, it was in the kitchen, so it couldn't reach the pilgrim's place.

While everyone was discussing this, the abbot walked out with a group of disciples.
