Chapter 602 The Buddha Statue Blocking the Door

Li Canghai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the third prince was young and his observation skills were not weak.

Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose, and asked the second prince, "Xiyuan, do you also think that your father died under a curse?"

The second prince bit his lips tightly, with tears in his eyes, and said firmly in a low voice: "I don't believe it! There has never been a curse in the world, and my father will never commit suicide!"

"Brother Second... If the father didn't commit suicide, how can he explain that the door is closed from the inside?" The third prince was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

The second prince shook his head and said in a low voice: "Although I don't know what's going on, the death of my father must have been done on purpose! If my father committed suicide, why did he close the door? Besides, this Buddha statue is so heavy, With the strength of my father, how can I push it?"

"Brother Second Prince, you mean...the father was killed by someone?" The third prince said in astonishment.

The second prince nodded heavily, and said, "It must be! Before I left last night, my father was fine, how could he commit suicide?"

Hearing this, Li Canghai's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Xiyuan, what did you say? Did you see your father last night?"

"Back to uncle, after dinner last night, my father called me to the imperial study room and gave me some memorials for me to go back to review. He also asked me to call the eldest brother to go to the imperial study room. My father said he had something important to do. Tell the king. After I notified the king, I went back to the room to review the memorials. It was about Zi'hour. After I finished reviewing all the memorials, I planned to report to the father. At that time, the father seemed a little sleepy and was lying on the bed. Above, he waved to me, and after I put down the memorial, I left the royal study. At that time, the father was still very good!" The second prince recalled.

"Will Xitai be there at that time?" Li Canghai asked after pondering.

The second prince shook his head and said, "Brother Wang was not there at that time."

Li Canghai nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Xiyuan, let someone move Brother Wang's body out first, so that he can take care of it."

The second prince and the third prince knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the king of Silla a few times, and then they worked together to carry the body of the king of Silla out.

"Cang Hai, do you feel that this scene is a bit familiar? I have checked all the windows, and these windows are locked from the inside, and the door is blocked by the Buddha statue from the inside. Isn't this a secret room?" Di Qing Glancing at the Buddhist hall, he said.

Li Canghai nodded, the scene was indeed as Di Qing said, somewhat familiar.

What impressed me the most was the murder of the Zhang family in Zailai Town.

Zhang Wenyuan's concubine, Hongmei, was killed in a secret room. Moreover, it was also disguised as suicide, and the door of the room was also locked from the inside.

The only difference is that this secret room was not locked, nor was the door bolt lowered, but a huge Buddha statue was used to block the door.

"How did such a big Buddha statue come here from the altar? Could it really be some kind of curse?" Li Yu stepped into the Buddhist hall at this time, reached out and patted the Buddha statue, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Canghai said that there are no ghosts and gods in this world. It's just that there are many people pretending to be ghosts, which makes people believe it. Did you listen to them carefully just now? The second prince believes that someone killed the king of Silla. It's okay!" Di Qing gave him a contemptuous look.

Li Yu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said with a chuckle: "What Qingmei said makes sense!"

Di Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who is your sister Qing? It's close!"

"Qingmei, what you said is wrong. You are the Princess of the imperial grandfather, and I am of the same generation, and I am two years older than you. Aren't you my Qingmei? How can you say that you are close? "Li Yu laughed loudly.

Di Qing was speechless for a while, she wanted to refute Li Yu, but what Li Yu said was well-founded, which left her speechless.

"Strange, how did such a heavy Buddha statue come down from the altar?" Di Qing didn't want to continue arguing with Li Yu, so she turned the topic to the Buddha statue.

"Yeah, this is really strange. Yunhe, come and see if you can move this Buddha statue up." Li Yu thought for a while and said.

Qi Yunhe nodded, he walked in, and then practiced profound arts silently, then embraced the Buddha statue with both hands, let out a low shout, and indeed lifted the Buddha statue up.

But he exhausted his strength after only taking two steps to move the Buddha statue. With a loud bang, he put the Buddha statue on the ground, and immediately a burst of water splashed everywhere.Qi Yunhe panted: "This Buddha statue weighs about a thousand catties, and Yunhe can only do this."

A drop of water splashed onto Li Canghai's forehead immediately, and he frowned as he touched the water drop on his forehead.

"With your skill, you can only walk two steps? But the altar is about twenty steps away from the door! Could it be that there are still unworldly masters hidden in this palace?" Li Yu rubbed his chin, a little said in surprise.

After thinking about it, he felt that it seemed impossible. If there were such a master, killing the king of Silla would be a breeze, so why bother to put the Buddha statue in front of the door?
The confused Li Yu rubbed his brows, turned around and asked Li Canghai, "Sir, in your opinion... huh? Sir? What are you thinking?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Li Canghai staring blankly at the drops of water snatched from his forehead by his fingers, and couldn't help shouting several times.

"Hush! Don't disturb him! He's thinking about something!" Di Qing glared at Li Yu who was yelling, and lowered her voice, quite annoyed.

Li Yu opened his mouth, he smiled awkwardly, and then closed his mouth.

"How could there be water?" Li Canghai stared at his fingers and said to himself.

"Of course there is water, the water was splashed from the ground! I was splashed all over just now!" Li Yu waved his sleeves, he really didn't think it was strange.

Li Canghai didn't speak, but let Di Qing push him towards the Buddha statue.

When he came to the Buddha statue inside the door, Li Canghai leaned over and touched the ground, and found that the floor tiles were wet, and there was some unevaporated water accumulated in the gaps between the floor tiles.

Li Canghai frowned suddenly. He looked at the wet water stains on the ground, and was a little puzzled.

In this Buddhist hall, only the inside of the door has water stains.

Originally, Li Canghai thought it was the snow brought by everyone's feet, and the water accumulated after it melted, but when Qi Yunhe lifted the Buddha statue, he realized that it was not the case.

Because the water stains on the ground where the Buddha statue is located are more obvious.

What's more, when Qi Yunhe put down the Buddha statue, the heavy pressure fell on the ground, causing the water stains in the gaps between the floor tiles to splash out, which shows that the accumulated water inside the door existed before.
