Chapter 443 Attacked.

If the thieves didn't attack Changshou because he found a pearl in the Seven Star Temple, then what could have happened?

Hua Lang looked at Chang Shou and pondered for a moment, then asked, "What else did you find besides this pearl?" ”

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

After listening to Chang Shou's words, Hua Lang nodded slightly, and then asked, "You said that when you were hunting before, you saw a white shadow on Sword Mountain, is this true?" ”

Chang Shou nodded again and again: "This is naturally true, but the white shadow flashed, and I didn't care much." ”

"When was that?"

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

After that, Hua Lang had nothing to ask, he ordered the two officials to continue to protect Chang Shou, and then he and Yin Wuxian and the others prepared to climb the mountain.

On the way to climb the mountain, Yin Wuxian asked: "Now that the thieves have attacked Changshou at the foot of the mountain, is it possible that the thieves are not on the mountain, but at the bottom of the mountain?" ”

After Yin Wuxian said this, Hua Wan'er hurriedly echoed, after all, it takes a lot of time for the murderer to go up and down the mountain, how could he go down the mountain at night and then attack Changshou and climb the mountain again?

This is manual work, and it is not something that can be done from a high level to a high level.

After Yin Wuji and Hua Wan'er finished saying this, Hua Lang nodded slightly: "There is indeed this possibility, but it is not excluded that there is another possibility, the person who killed the person has been in the Seven Star Temple, and the person who attacked Chang Shou is just a person sent by him, and it is not impossible to spread information from the mountain!" ”

Wen Meng naturally understands that the intelligence of human beings is sometimes really incomprehensible, and some exchanges between human beings are unknown to outsiders, and sometimes, some news can be spread silently, no matter how far away.

At this time, Hua Lang continued: "In the past few years, a lot of people have disappeared in the Seven Star Temple, I think it can't be that the people from outside have stayed in the Seven Star Temple, and then committed the case, if this is the case, the previous investigation only needs to look at the list of some pilgrims, and the clues can be found immediately, so I think the murderer should still be on the mountain." ”

Now that Hua Lang has said so, they have no choice but to stop justifying.

It's just that when they were about to arrive at the Seven Star Temple, they suddenly saw smoke coming out of the Seven Star Temple, as if there was a fire inside, Hua Lang and the others knew that it was not good, so they hurriedly ran towards the Seven Star Temple.

When they arrived at the Seven Star Temple, it was already a mess inside, but the smoke was much smaller, and Bao Zheng was surrounded by a group of officials, as if he was guarding against something.

Gongsun Ce saw Hua Lang and the others, and hurriedly greeted them, saying, "Brother Hua, it's really good that you're back." ”

Hua Lang was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "What happened, it seems to be on fire inside, why don't you go and put out the fire?" ”

At this time, Wang Chao, who was standing on the side, said: "Brother Hua, alas, it was all our carelessness that injured Lord Bao!" ”

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

"What the hell is going on?" Hanarang asked again.

Gongsun Ce sighed and said, "Someone is going to assassinate Lord Bao!" ”

Hua Lang was taken aback, so he asked Gongsun Ce to explain the matter clearly, but Gongsun Ce looked a little embarrassed, and Bao Zheng walked up and said: "Let's talk about it, after you left, I went back to the house with all the officials and brothers to rest for a while, but at this time, the kitchen of the Seven Star Temple suddenly burst into flames, and I saw that the fire was fierce, so I told the officials to put out the fire, but as soon as these officials left, suddenly a man in black rushed into my room and wanted to kill me, If it weren't for the two of them who rushed back first because they were worried about me, I am afraid that my old life would not have been! ”

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

"No, the situation was chaotic at the time, and the murderer's blow failed to kill me, so I fled immediately."

After listening to Bao Zheng's narration, Hua Lang's brows furrowed, he seemed to have thought of something, and he finally figured out what had been making him feel wrong.

Why hasn't the disappearance happened for two years, but just as they lived in the Seven Star Temple, someone suddenly disappeared again?

Hua Lang has never figured it out before, he doesn't believe that the murder of any detective will happen there, so there must be cause and effect in this, and now seeing Bao Zheng being assassinated, he finally understands that the reason why the disappearance case appeared again after two years was because he wanted to leave Bao Zheng.

In such a lonely temple, it is only fitting to assassinate.

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

And after thinking about it in this way, there is a question that must be solved, that is, why did the murderer assassinate him? 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 imperial court will definitely not stop, that is, the Seven Star Temple will be demolished, and all the people inside will be put in prison.

Moreover, the murderer seems to have accomplices, otherwise he would not have been able to kill people and set fire here, and send people to attack Changshou at the bottom of the mountain.

Hua Lang held his chin and pondered, in the whole Duanzhou, who can't get along with Bao Zheng, there should be no one, the people can't do it, and those merchants can't do it, because Bao Zheng has always been fair and selfless, and he is deeply loved by the people, if other officials are changed, the people and businessmen here don't know how much they will suffer!

Thinking about it, the only people who have a motive to kill Bao Zheng are the people of Tsing Yi Society.

Mo Sigong has been in Duanzhou for three years, and must have cultivated a lot of Tsing Yi Society's power, and now Mo Sigong was killed, Bao Zheng was ordered to come to Duanzhou to Ren Zhizhou, and there was a secret order to exterminate Tsing Yi Society, and only the people who hate Bao Zheng the most are the people of Tsing Yi Society, and in addition to Bao Zheng, Hua Lang will lose his support, and at that time, it will be much easier for them to deal with Hua Lang.

The murderer is very likely to be from the Tsing Yi Society, Hua Lang's heart suddenly sank, he really didn't want to involve the Tsing Yi Society in this matter, but the current situation is out of his control.

The fire in the Seven Star Temple has been extinguished, and the monks inside are all disgraced, Murong Qing and the pilgrim couple are still in their guest rooms, after all, although the fire is big, it can not reach the place of the pilgrims in the kitchen.

Just as everyone was talking, the abbot walked out with a group of disciples.
