She hurriedly forced herself to withdraw her gaze and turned back to sit in front of the table. She murmured, "Beauty destroys the country, beauty destroys the country." Then she could put Daji aside for the time being. She calmed down and carefully alienated the clues she had obtained so far, as well as the points to be investigated.
She had just made a comparison and found that a piece of the back of the clothes was indeed scratched, which was exactly the same as the strip of cloth found before. Looking at the relationship between the characters and the events drawn on the paper, Ning Shu's eyes were deep in thought. She put down the pen and walked to the backyard, clapping her hands and calling the naughty children to come over.
"Stop fooling around. There are a few things that we have to hurry up with now. First, we have to find out what happened on the night of the 7th of May. We have to ask about every detail. Li E 'er should still be hiding something important from us.
Second, we need to check Susu's family background. If I'm not wrong, she has a lot to do with this case.
Third, we need to try to find the person who knocked Zhou Yang into the mud pit. Ask if anyone passing by saw it. I suspect that this strip of cloth was deliberately cut off by that person and then hung behind the wooden ladder to frame him. "
Hui Mo said, "Zhou Yang said that the person who knocked him down was not very tall. The person's height probably reached his ear … Eh? Isn't that similar to Shaoqing's appearance? Then I'll draw a rough appearance according to Shaoqing's back. It's convenient to find him. "
"What nonsense are you talking about?" He was talking nonsense. Ning Shu immediately hit him on the head and apologized to Tan Siwei on his behalf, "Shaoqing, please don't lower yourself to his level. Children's words carry no harm."
Hui Mo muttered, "Oh, I just said it casually. Do you have to be so cruel? And Shaoqing has a good temper. No matter how I tease him, he won't be angry. How can he bear a grudge against me? Don't you think so, Shaoqing? "
Tan Siwei was stunned for a moment. He looked at Hui Mo with eyes full of surprise. It seemed that he was wondering why Hui Mo didn't get angry no matter how he teased him. However, his good upbringing still made him reply, "Oh, yes, it's just a casual joke. It doesn't matter."
Only then did Hui Mo realize that he seemed to have inadvertently revealed a flaw. He quickly shut his mouth and pretended to be stupid while admiring the beautiful shape of the beam.
Ning Shu pulled the topic back to cover for him, "In addition, we need to arrange a few people to keep an eye on Li E 'er."
Tan Siwei said, "Leave this matter to me. I will arrange for spies from the Supreme Court to keep an eye on her family."
Ning Shu said, "That's good. Susu is still in the Supreme Court. I'll leave her to you."
She Yan was responsible for taking people to investigate the details of the seventh day of the fifth lunar month. Tianwen was responsible for investigating Susu's background. Huimo was responsible for investigating the nameless man who knocked down Zhou Xiang that day. Everyone received their respective tasks and dispersed. Ning Shu and Xiahou Qing stood in front of the famous double-faced Buddha in the Great Xiangguo Temple.
As usual, the Buddhist temple was full of pilgrims. Especially in front of the double-faced Buddha, there were countless believers. Pious sandalwood and everlasting lamps were burning everywhere. On one hand, it was fate. Countless good men and women prayed for a good marriage in this life under the Buddha. On the other hand, it was regret. Believers who had committed karma knelt in front of the Buddha with a heart full of remorse. They only prayed that the Buddha could be merciful and forgive their sins. The ground was full of tears. When such two completely different groups of people were put together, it was particularly unreal.
The young Buddhist monk squeezed out of the crowd who had nowhere to go. He was sweating and saluted to the two. Ning Shu returned the salute and said sorry for troubling the young master. She began to listen to him talk about what happened that night.
"That benefactress was very strange."
He said, "That night, I was patrolling the temple. I did see the benefactress kneeling in the direction of the double-faced Buddha outside the wall of the temple for a night. I have seen a lot of pious pilgrims, but not many of them were like her. She didn't speak or light a lamp. She just knelt there with her hands clasped together and silently wept. I asked her to leave but she didn't respond. I could only let her go.
Every day in our temple, I got up at two in the morning to do morning prayers. When I opened the temple door, I didn't expect her to still be there. I went to ask her what happened. She said three words, 'I regret.'
Thereupon Xiao Seng asked, 'Why do you regret?' Her face was very ugly. I then excused myself and left. In the end, I heard her say something in a low voice from afar. She kowtowed three times to the double-faced Buddha and silently staggered away. "
Xiahou Qing asked, "What did she say?"
"I was a little far away. I didn't hear it clearly. It seemed to be because of betrayal."
