"Our men found a corpse just now. It seems that he died not long ago. His Highness asked me to invite you over."
"Another person died?"
Lin Mengya couldn't help frowning. The storm caused by the Empress was not over yet. Everyone had strengthened their vigilance. How could something happen again?
"Have you found out who it is?"
Baisu lowered her voice and said, "It seems to be a small merchant who is responsible for delivering dry goods to the Holy Hall. His Highness is there now. It's better for you to go and see for yourself."
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the little girl and her mother, thinking that it couldn't be such a coincidence.
She hurriedly said goodbye to the mother and daughter. She couldn't bear to tell them this in advance. She hoped that she had guessed wrong.
But somehow, she knew that her guess was likely to be confirmed again.
When facing misfortune, she would rather be a fool.
The corpse was found in the kitchen on the sixth floor.
If it weren't for the addition of more people in the kitchen on the sixth floor, they wouldn't have found a nameless male corpse in a granary that was used to store food.
When Lin Mengya arrived, she saw a face that was similar to that of the little girl at first glance.
Someone was asking the person in charge of the kitchen if he knew this person.
Lin Mengya waved her hand and said regretfully, "He is a small merchant who delivers dry goods at the foot of the mountain. He should have brought his wife and daughter to deliver the goods. You can find them on the fifth floor now."
The person in charge of the interrogation was still a little hesitant. After all, with their status, how could the Mistress of the Holy Hall know them?
But Long Tianhao still glanced at his wife and ordered, "Go and find them. Do as Madam said."
When everyone left, Long Tianhao asked in a low voice, "How did you know? Is there really something wrong with this person? "
Lin Mengya shook her head and took a deep breath.
"I met his daughter just now, so I knew about him. They should be fine. They were just unlucky to meet someone they shouldn't have met. "
Judging from the words and expressions of the little girl and her mother, they should be a very happy family of three.
But now it was all over.
She clenched her hands, and her hatred for those who wantonly slaughtered civilians deepened.
"Find the person himself!"
No matter who it was, no matter what the other party's motive was, if they dared to commit murder in front of her, they would have to bear her wrath!
Long Tianhao patted her shoulder.
No matter what his wife wanted to do, he would give his full support.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao were standing on the sixth floor. She saw with her own eyes that the poor wife and daughter of the small businessman were hurriedly invited over.
The woman's sorrowful cries made her heart ache.
Their loved ones, who were still fine just a moment ago, had now become corpses. No one would be able to maintain their rationality.
"Comfort his family. No matter what request they have, agree to it."
Long Tianhao gave a special instruction.
Although the person didn't die because of them, he didn't want to see his wife feeling guilty and blaming herself for anything.
Lin Mengya didn't just stand there and watch. Instead, she walked up to the girl.
The little girl was already sobbing uncontrollably. Although she was still young, she already knew the meaning of death.
She crouched down to level with the little girl.
"No!
I'm going to cry. Be good, I'll help you find out who killed your father. "
The little girl sobbed and asked, "Can my father come back to life if I find out who killed him?"
The little girl's innocent words made Li Mengya's heart ache.
Yes, the person was already dead. Even if she found out who killed him, what could she do?
The girl's mother immediately took the girl in her arms and apologized to Lin Mengya, trembling.
"Please forgive us, Madam. We didn't mean it."
Seeing the victim's family apologizing to her, Lin Mengya felt even worse.
She waved her hand and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter. After all, the child's father died because of our negligence. If there's anything you need help with, please don't hesitate to ask."
The woman looked at her in a daze.
Baili Wuchen, who was next to her, also rushed over after finishing his work.
Seeing this, he went forward and introduced to the woman with a kind face, "This is the beautiful and kind wife of the Temple Master. Although your husband has passed away, we will do our best to help you start a new life in the future."
Seeing this, the woman didn't even dare to raise her head.
She just held her daughter's hand tightly and obediently listened to their arrangements.
Lin Mengya stood aside and listened to Baili Wuchen's inquiries about her and her daughter, and made proper arrangements.
At last, the little girl quietly broke free from her mother's hand and walked in front of her.
"I heard from my father and mother that you're the most honorable woman in the world, right?"
Lin Mengya's heart trembled.
"No, I'm not …"
How could she explain to the little girl that her father would not have died if it hadn't been for the fight between them?
The little girl opened her big clear eyes and asked carefully, "Since you're so powerful, can you help me find my father?"
Lin Mengya was stunned. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."
The little girl lowered her head in disappointment. Just when Lin Mengya was about to say something to comfort her, the little girl suddenly raised her head and said to her with a smile, "I know my father will never come back, but can you promise me that you won't let others lose their father in the future?"
Lin Mengya did not know how to respond.
But the little girl insisted on getting an answer from him.
After a long time, she nodded lightly.
"Alright, I promise you that I will protect the fathers of others so that they will never lose their fathers again."
She could not ignore the little girl's kindness.
After receiving an affirmative answer, the little girl gave her a gentle hug.
"My mother said that you are a fairy from the heavens, now I believe it, if it is you, then I am willing to serve Temple forever."
Lin Mengya stood there, not knowing how to react.
The little girl was quickly brought away by her mother, but she still stared blankly at her mother's figure, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Long Tian, who had been standing behind her, gently pulled her into his arms.
"This is what the Temple means to the people."
He whispered in her ear.
"In the past, I always thought that if the Temple did not oppress the outside world, perhaps the competition would not be so intense. But later on, I understood that Temple had never protected those ambitious people in power, but the people of the world. "
With the suppression of the Sanctum, those
People did not dare to go too far.
Once the Sage Temple collapsed, what awaited the people of the world would be endless disputes.
Although she did not know who came up with such a method to temporarily suppress those people's ambitions.
But no matter what, the people still benefited from it.
Now that it was her and Long Tian Hao's turn to be in charge of Temple, they should do something for the people who believed in them.
"I understand, don't worry, I won't give up because of this."
Lin Mengya rubbed her face.
She would reinvigorate herself and take care of Temple properly.
As for those parasites hiding in the dark, she would catch them one by one, and return peace to everyone.
Looking at his wife who suddenly became energetic, Long Tian Hao nodded with a smile.
His Ya 'er was like this, she would turn every suffering and challenge into motivation to move forward.
Now the death of the little girl's father had inspired his wife's sense of responsibility.
At least from now on, he would not have to worry about his wife not understanding the purpose of the Temple.
He knew that these responsibilities should be shouldered by him, but he wanted to share everything with her, whether it was glory or responsibility.
He believed that his wife would definitely understand this.
"Wait for me, let's go investigate together."
Long Tian Hao smiled and caught up with her.
All the loneliness in the world would be disintegrated because of another person, and finally melted into memories, replaced by endless happiness.
And he was so lucky to have found his own happiness early on.
Lin Mengya personally led some people to investigate the scene.
Xiao Yao's ability to analyze was a great help to her, and she did not let go of any clues.
The person was killed with a slash on the throat, and the technique was very clean. It should be a person who had been trained as a killer, or was very ruthless.
But there was one thing. The man was attacked from behind, but there were signs of his knees being attacked.
That meant that he was kneeling when he died.
This was very suspicious.
The small businessman was not particularly tall, and if the murderer was a man, then it would be superfluous.
But if the murderer was a woman, then it was very consistent with the marks she found on the body.
Moreover, there was a faint smell of wine on the murderer's body.
According to the little girl's mother's memory, her husband seemed to have met someone.
Once, when her husband was drunk, he mentioned to her that he had found the best wine in the world.
And if he sold this wine to the Temple, they could make a lot of money from it.
As for who they were, the little girl's father did not say.
After Lin Mengya received this information, she could not help but speculate.
Although alcohol was prohibited in the Temple, because of the high terrain and cold weather, many people liked to drink in secret to keep warm.
Furthermore, the people who came here were either powerful or extremely wealthy. If he sold good wine to these people, it would indeed be a profitable business without any losses.
However, it was not easy to sell things to the Temple, especially prohibited goods like wine.
So they had to find an acquaintance to get through, and this was how the little girl's father was found.
