"Amitabha!" Abbot Fulin nodded, put his hands together, and pronounced the Buddha's name.

Scholar Zhang Yu asked, "So what? Can it mean anything?"

"At least it shows that Abbot Fulin cares very much about his temple and is unwilling to let Mrs. Chen defil the temple, so he may be killed in anger."

"This...this is too outrageous!" Zhang Shushengyu said with a wry smile.

"Outstanding? Many motives for murder seem outrageous, because murder is a departure from the ethical and moral norms of normal people, and the murderer's motives for murder will of course deviate from the moral norms, which is something that ordinary people cannot understand. If this motive is considered outrageous, many cases will not be able to understand. I have seen many more outrageous motives for murder, and you will not believe it if you say it!"

"Oh?" said the scholar Zhang Yu: "Then let's listen to the two."

Xiao Yuer said: "For example, in a case we encountered before, the couple was usually very harmonious, but because his wife didn't like washing her feet before going to bed, his husband said it many times, but the wife just didn't listen and often quarreled about it. Before going to bed that day, the two quarreled over this matter again. In anger, the husband took a sickle, cut his wife's neck and killed him several times, and then pretended to commit suicide."

Zhang Yu frowned: "Just kill the person just to not wash your feet?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yuer continued: "There are two brothers who have the urge to pay for the fried noodles, and one of them killed the other? Hehe, so some motives for murder are simply incredible to outsiders, but in the eyes of the murderer, they are enough to arouse his evil intentions to kill."

Manager Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Then are you saying that the abbot just teased his apprentice for Mrs. Chen, and killed someone if he ruined the Buddhist cultivator?"

Zhang Yu also shook his head and said, "Other motivation is possible, but I don't think it is possible. The abbot became a monk to achieve the right result. If he killed Mrs. Chen, it was to maintain the reputation of Buddhism. Killing animals violated the Buddhist precepts, then what kind of Buddhist practice would he practice and what kind of family would he have? This motivation and that motivation are inconsistent, and it doesn't make sense."

Manager Zheng smiled gloatingly and said, "Yijiji! It is understandable to say that Master Abbot killed Mrs. Chen because of other motives, but it is really hard to say that he killed someone to maintain the reputation of Buddhism."

Xiao Yuer said, "I didn't say that the abbot must have killed someone for this."

Manager Zheng sneered and said, "Then why? For women? For money?"

Xiao Yuer sternly said: "If you hear it clearly, Master Abbot has a motive for murder. He may be a suspect."

Everyone knew Xiaoyu'er's power and had to shut up.

Abbot Fulin said the Buddha's name: "I am willing to tell you that for half an hour, I have been meditating in the meditation room.

"Thank you for your understanding!" Xiao Yuer gave a gift, "What is the master doing in the past half hour? Can someone prove that you don't have time to commit the crime?"

The little monk Huipu said anxiously: "I can testify for my master! He meditates in the meditation room at this time every day, and it will not be resting until the fourth hour. This is how it is every day!"

"What about today? Did you see it today?"

It is related to human life, Huipu dared not say anything: "I...I'm already asleep, I haven't seen it..."

Abbot Fulin shook his head and said, "I am meditating alone in the meditation room, and no one else was present to testify."

Master Bao said: "That means that Master Fulin has no evidence of absenteeism, so he is still among the suspects."

When the scholar Zhang Yu heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "Sir, I always feel that it is inappropriate to list Master Abbot as a suspect."

Lord Bao smiled and ignored Zhang Yu's fault and looked at the abbot: "I have another thing that I am very curious about. I need to ask the master."

"Please tell me, I will definitely speak out."

"Who was the pregnant woman who was hanged in the woods behind the temple? Do you have any connection with the master?"

The abbot's face changed slightly. His white eyebrows moved and he said in a low voice: "I... I don't know me... I'm just a passing woman..."

Xiao Yuer observed her face and felt that the abbot Fulin had not told the truth. Mr. Bao smiled and said, "Abbot, if I guess it's good, the abbot should have a lot of connection with this woman."

"No... monks don't lie!" Fulin Fulin said.

Zhang Yu said: "Sir, what are you doing to pursue this old thing? Is it related to this case?"

Xiao Yuer smiled: "If you want to say it is related, of course it is related. If this old story is a secret story about Master Abbot that he does not want to be known, or even a secret thing that he cannot tell others, and accidentally caught by Mrs. Chen, hehe, it is hard to guarantee that Master Abbot will not kill anyone to silence him!"

Zhang Yu was stunned and turned his head to look at Abbot Fulin. He saw that he was still lowering his head and chanting the Buddha's name silently, but the two white eyebrows on his eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly. It was obvious that the abbot's heart was as if he was upside down at this moment, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Manager Chen asked: "Master, is what Mr. Bao said true?"

Fulin Fulin still lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I don't know the hanged pregnant woman. The adults have made a conjecture..."

Bao Heizi laughed coldly and said, "Okay, since Master Abbot refused to say it, let this matter be put aside for the time being, and Master Abbot is the key suspect in the crime. Let's continue to investigate."

Chen Yun stared at the abbot and said, "What else should I do? It must be that my wife accidentally knew or broke the scandal of this old monk. He was killed and silenced. Master, please arrest him quickly! Under the severe punishment, he will definitely be able to take action!"

Xiao Yuer shook her head and said, "This is inappropriate. My elders don't like to torture and force confessions. Besides, the abbot is just a suspect, and there is no evidence yet. Therefore, the abbot is just a suspect with the motive and time of committing the crime. Let's continue to investigate."

Xiao Yuer then asked the little monk Huitong: "Mr. Little Master, where are you in this half hour?"

"Me? I just said I'm sleeping..." Huitong's eyes flashed a little.

Xiaoyuer glanced him up and down and said, "No, right? Where did you sleep?"

"In... in my meditation room..." Huitong was young after all, and was a monk again. The monk did not lie. When he lies, his face suddenly turned red and he stuttered.

"Oh?" Xiao Yu'er smiled, "Where is the little master's Zen room?"

Huitong pointed to a meditation room on the side of the Main Hall: "Where is next to my master's meditation room..."

Xiaoyuer walked over, pushed open the door and looked inside, sneering, "Hehe, the quilts on the little master's bed are neatly folded. Doesn't the little master never cover them when he sleeps?"

Huitong's face turned pale and hesitated: "I... this..."

Xiao Yuer turned around suddenly, stared at Huitong and said coldly: "After saying that, how did you kill the little lady?"

"No, no...not me...! The little monk is a monk, how could he kill animals!"

"A monk?" Xiao Yuer sneered, "Will a monk attack other women? Will he meet with other women in the woods?"

Huitong sweated on his forehead, lowered his head and shivered, "That's the little monk... The little monk was confused for a moment. But he was already awake at that time..."

"Okay!" Xiao Yuer walked forward, grabbed Huitong's arm, forced him to the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Main Palace, and said aloud: "Since you claim that you have been awakened and are still a Buddhist disciple, you can't lie. Now you are talking in front of the Buddha, where have you been going in the past half hour? - Remind you that lies will go to the hell of tongue-pulling in the future!"

Huitong knelt on the cushion. She secretly looked up at the Buddha's solemn treasure face, and she couldn't help but shivered and hurriedly lowered her head.

"Okay, tell me. Where were you at that time?"

The abbot Fulin preached the Buddhist chant: "Hui Tong, according to facts, must not be concealed!"

Hui Channel: "Yes, I didn't sleep in the meditation room. I went out."

"Where did you go?" Xiaoyuer asked.

"Go... go and walk around the yard!"

"You are lying!" Xiao Yuer said coldly, "You have become a monk in this ancient temple since you were a child. You have to clean the temple thoroughly every five days. You know every brick and tile here. It's not a Mid-Autumn Festival or a bright moon or a sparse moon tonight. You don't have any elegance when you look like this. It's going to rain soon. At this time, you run to the yard for a walk. Wouldn't you be sick?"

"I...I'm really going for a walk in the yard."

"Hehe, it's right to take a walk, but it's not just looking at the scenery, but having other intentions, right?"

"I...I don't...I really don't..."

"Then where have you been? What have you seen? Who can prove it?"

"I...I saw...I..." As Xiao Yuer pressed and asked step by step, Huitong's back spine was already sweating coldly, and she was trembling and didn't know how to answer.

"Hmph! You are clearly going to peep at Mrs. Chen. Seeing Mrs. Chen going to the toilet alone, she attempted to do such a miserable thing with Mrs. Chen. However, Mrs. Chen was just deliberately teasing you and did not really want to have an affair with you. Seeing that there was no hope of adultery, you were afraid that Mrs. Chen would report you, so you strangled her to death. Then you hung the body on the beam of the toilet room and pretended to be hanging herself. In order to further confuse the public, you deliberately said that the female ghost was killed by the death. That's the truth! Right?"

"No...I didn't kill Mrs. Chen..., I really didn't kill her! I was just... thinking about... in the back window of her... I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her..."

"No?" Xiao Yu'er sneered, "You were not actually awakened by your master. You are still thinking about the appointment between Mrs. Chen and your forest. Then you went to her back window and wanted to ask her out. Right?"

"I...I...I'm confused for a while..." Huitong was not good at lying. After being told through the thoughts in her heart, she was panicked and didn't know how to make a quibble, and she couldn't even think about quibbling.

When Mrs. Chen was still alive, Chen Yun was depressed and lost his temper. Now that Mrs. Chen is dead, he is braver. After hearing Huitong's words, he could no longer hold back. He walked forward with a blue face and kicked Huitong who was kneeling on the cushion: "You bald donkey! You dare to hit my wife, but it's a monk. It's really worse than a pig or a dog!"
