Chapter 442 Pearl.

In the middle of the night, there were seven or eight guards standing in the pilgrim's courtyard, and their duty was only to protect Bao Zheng.

The clouds and mist drifted in, and the entire Seven Star Temple seemed to be in the clouds.

After such a peaceful night, nothing strange happened in the Seven Stars Temple, and no one went missing.

The monks in the Seven Star Temple chanted sutras and did morning classes as usual, as if they had forgotten that their senior brother Huiyuan was gone, or had been killed.

It seems that the monks here are all eminent monks, and they understand that a physical body is just a handful of loess, which comes and goes from time to time, and life and death have long been put aside.

These monks have such a way, but Bao Zhenghualang they don't, they haven't forgotten that strange night, the monk who suddenly disappeared.

So after getting up in the morning, they began to look around, and think about where the murderer might hide the body, Bao Zheng walked to that place surrounded by a group of officials, as if they would not give up until they found a clue.

After Hua Lang had breakfast, he entered his room, and after hesitating for a long time, Wang Chao and Ma Han also entered Hua Lang's room, and then said: "On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, when we were keeping vigil, we seemed to hear some noises, but when we went to look for it, we didn't find anything. ”

After listening to the words of the two of them, Hanarang asked, "Is it in the pilgrim's courtyard?" ”

Wang Dynasty nodded: "That's right, but the door of every guest in the pilgrim's courtyard is locked, and there is no movement inside." ”

After the two of them said this, they left, and Hanarang continued to lie on the bed and meditate, he had to figure out where the body was, it must have been disposed of by the murderer, but where would it be placed?

Could it be a night pot under the bed, or a porcelain bowl for eating, or a brick or a wall?

If the corpse was really mixed with these things, then it would probably not be visible to the human eye, and because they don't know where, they probably will never know that the body was hidden by the murderer.

Just when Hua Lang was thinking about this, Yin Wuxian hurriedly came from outside and said, "Something big has happened, come quickly!" ”

Hua Lang turned over and got off the bed, and then followed Yin Wuxian to the outside of the Buddhist hall, at this time, a servant was reporting something to Bao Zheng, after Hua Lang left, the official just finished speaking, Bao Zheng told Hua Lang the main clues.

"There is news from the officials under the mountain that Chang Shou was attacked last night."

After hearing this news, Hua Lang was a little surprised, because he really didn't understand how Chang Shou could be attacked?

At this time, Bao Zheng analyzed: "I think Chang Shou must have discovered something in this Seven Star Temple, and the murderer was afraid that Chang Shou would say it, so he wanted to kill people!" ”

Regarding this matter, Hua Lang did not speculate, but just asked, "Is there something wrong with Changshou?" ”

Bao Zheng shook his head and said: "Because our people are hiding nearby, as soon as the thief appeared, he was surrounded by our people, but the best thief still ran away, fortunately Changshou was fine." ”

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Gongsun Ce also hurriedly said: "Is it possible that Chang Shou Zhilu said that we were suspicious of him, so we found someone to attack him, so that he could get rid of suspicion, otherwise how could the thief escape so easily?" ”

Bao Zheng also agreed with what Gongsun Ce said, after all, anything is possible before the matter is resolved.

When the two of them spoke, Hua Lang was silent all the time, and after the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at Hua Lang again, as if they wanted to hear Hua Lang's opinion, Hua Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "Actually, no matter what, it is most appropriate to ask Chang Shou." ”

But to ask Changshou, someone must go down the mountain, let the official ask, and it is inevitable that the news is not true, after several people look at each other, they can't make up their minds, Hualang saw this, and said: "I'll go down and ask!" ”

Hua Lang went to ask, Wen Meng and Yin Wuxian They also hurriedly shouted to go, now there are more than 20 officials in the Seven Star Temple, and there is no problem in protecting Bao Zheng, so Hua Lang agreed.

After this agreement, everyone immediately descended the mountain.

Because it was going down the mountain, Changshou's home was not very far away, so it didn't take them too much time, when they came to Changshou's house, Changshou's mother was reprimanding him, saying that he shouldn't cause trouble outside, and now he is being targeted, Changshou doesn't dare to speak, and lets his mother scold.

Hanaro pulled Changshou away from his home and began to inquire in a quiet place in the village.

"What did you find in the Seven Star Temple, otherwise how could the thieves attack you?"

Chang Shou looked very embarrassed, and after a long time, he took out a pearl from his body, the pearl was the size of a cat's eye, and it was worth a lot of money, which was definitely not what a hunter like Shou might have, Chang Shou took out the pearl and said, "This is what I found in the Seven Star Temple, I think they may have killed me because of this." ”

Hearing this, Hua Lang was a little puzzled, because he didn't see when Chang Shou picked up something, so he asked, "You found it on the day of the Double Ninth Festival?" ”

Chang Shou shook his head and said: "I found it two months ago, when the weather was still very hot, I wanted to find out what the white shadow I saw before, so I often went to the Seven Stars Temple to stay for one night, that night I was on the side of the Seven Stars Temple, that is, outside the wall of the pilgrim's courtyard, I found this thing, I saw that it was a pearl, so I secretly hid it, I thought it might be that the pilgrim was lost there, so I thought about trying my luck again, there were many people who climbed high during the Double Ninth Festival, so I went again, but I didn't expect that there was a disappearance inside." ”

What Chang Shou said didn't seem like a lie, and he told it so neatly, it must have scared him by the events of last night, and he didn't want his mother to be sad, so he took the pearl out.

Hua Lang took the pearl in Chang Shou's hand and looked at the sun, it was indeed a valuable pearl, but how could there be such a valuable pearl in a place like the Seven Star Temple, even if someone went to the Seven Star Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, it was impossible to bring these things, and then there was, could it be that the thieves attacked Chang Shou really because of this pearl?

If it was because of the pearls, there were so many opportunities for them not to attack before, why did they have to do it last night?

Could it be that the murderer only found out that the pearl was picked up by Chang Shou in the past few days?

Hua Lang looked at Chang Shou and asked, "Have you ever revealed anything about pearls in the Seven Star Temple?" ”

Chang Shou shook his head again and again: "I have been burying this pearl in my backyard, and I dare to take it out there." ”

It seems that the thieves attacked Changshou not because of the pearl.
