Gu Canmo glanced at the crowd, "Whose is this? Who dropped their waist ornaments? "
Everyone looked at each other, but no one answered.
Gu Canmo's facial expression became even worse. "If this thing was accidentally brought into Tianju Hall, you just need to tell us who sent it. If you don't tell us, then it means that you did it on purpose. You are a spy who sneaked into Tianju Hall! Once you are caught, the consequences … I don't need to tell you! Let me ask you again, who is the owner of this flower-shaped waist ornament?! "
There were more than two hundred people in the square under the tree. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, but still, no one stood up.
Gu Canmo glanced at everyone's face, and everyone was shocked and confused.
The elders of the punishment hall often handled such cases, and their eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. They could easily see the unnatural expression on anyone's face, but they could not see it even after looking at it for a long time. No one could recognize the cloud pattern on the waist ornament.
It seemed like someone did not trick the people from Tianju Hall to wear it. Instead, there was a traitor in Tianju Hall. The traitor made the waist pendant of the Tianmo Jade outside, and it was easy for him to wear it. Then, he hid it under the cracks of the floor of the Qi practice hall without anyone noticing.
Even if the disciples who were cleaning the hall accidentally found it, it would not raise any suspicion, and they would think that it was left there by one of the disciples.
Who was the mole?
The people started to have nightmares more than two months ago, so this thing should have been worn and buried two months ago.
Gu Canmo immediately ordered the disciple who was in charge of the entry and exit of Tianju Hall to check the records of the disciples from two to three months ago.
However, even Gu Canmo frowned when the results were out.
During that period of time, there were many disciples who went out. Although it was not half, at least one-third of them went out, and some of them went out every three to five days.
After sorting out the list of the disciples, there were about seventy to eighty people.
The mole would definitely not form a group when he went out. Even if he did, he or she would need to be alone before he or she could do it secretly.
The Disciplinary Hall Elder immediately ordered his men to filter out those who went out alone or in groups of seventy to eighty people …
Two hours later, the results came out. During this period, there were 22 people who went out alone or were left behind. This included men and women who went out together for more than one night …
These 22 people included four elders, three teachers, and the rest were disciples like Qian Lingyu and the others.
In other words, these 22 people were the most suspicious, and the traitor was among them.
However, it would not be easy to find the traitor among more than 20 people. With the methods of the Punishment Hall Elder, he should be able to slowly investigate them one by one. However, it would take at least five or six days.
The news of Di Fuyi and Gu Xijiu's return had not spread to the outside world yet, so the imposter did not know yet. Now that Di Fuyi was here, the traitor would definitely find a way to inform his accomplices once he had the chance to be alone with them.
Therefore, the time needed to uncover the traitor was very tight. It would be best if they could uncover the traitor within a day or two.
The earlier they were caught, the less danger they posed.
