[Oriental School Jiangtu Hall]
"Master, I have already copied the shoe prints on the window sill." Feng Sanyi's disciple Zheng Lulu said.
Zheng Lulu had her hair braided, and the long hem of her sect's white robe was tied around her waist. She walked with great grace and looked very capable.
Feng Sanyi nodded and asked: "Lulu, have you seen it on the ground near the other window sills of the Scripture-Depository Pavilion or on the bookshelf?"
"I've seen it, but most of the footprints on the window sills are messy and have no texture at all when copied, which is of no practical use. The footprints on the windowsills closest to the door and closest to Xiaofeng's body are even more messy. However, during the exploration During the process, there was a very obvious footprint under the window near the back mountain." Zheng Lulu said truthfully.
"Keep talking." Feng Sanyi looked at Zheng Lulu with bright eyes and reminded him.
Zheng Lulu sorted out her thoughts and continued: "Master, I just ordered a few junior brothers and sisters who are not suspicious to find the source of the footprints."
"Why are the footprints on the windowsill in the back mountain so suspicious?" Feng Sanyi asked.
"Master, I don't know. The bookshelves on the window sill in the back are filled with ancient books. They are boring and boring. Few of my disciples will visit them, but the cleaning disciples will clean up the place every day before closing the pavilion." Zheng Lulu said.
"So you are saying that the footprints in that place were left by people who entered the Sutra Pavilion after it was closed?" Feng Sanyi said.
"Yes, the owner of this footprint seems to have been walking back and forth there for a long time. The books on the bookshelf also have signs of being turned over. He must be looking for something."
At this moment, Peng Qi came in with a group of people.
"Master, we have a clue." Peng Qi saluted and said hurriedly. When he saw Zheng Lulu was there, he also said to Zheng Lulu: "Senior sister is also here."
Zheng Lulu nodded and asked, "Peng Qi, what did you find out?"
"According to the old craftsmen in the sect, it is easy to find the style of shoes that left footprints. They were left by the new disciples who were recruited this year. And judging from the size, they should be male disciples." Peng Qi said.
When Zheng Lulu heard this, she thought for a moment and said, "Master, the search range has become smaller."
"Peng Qi, please quickly take people to the newly admitted male disciples' annex to find the owner of the shoes!" Feng Sanyi explained.
"Yes!" Peng Qi agreed and immediately walked out with his junior brothers and sisters.
Zheng Lulu turned around and saw Feng Sanyi buried in thought, so she asked, "Master, what are you thinking about?"
Feng Sanyi sat down, took a sip of water, and said, "I was wondering why the two female disciples from Yanyu Hall appeared in the Sutra Pavilion, Lulu, don't you think it's strange?"
Zheng Lulu said: "I learned about it and asked a few people who are close to Xiaofeng Xiaolong. According to what they said, the two of them usually like to go to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to read books, and often do so when they have time. They went there last night in the evening Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but he didn’t come back all night and was not discovered until the next day.”
Feng Sanyi nodded and asked, "How did their friends find out?"
"A female disciple from Yanyu Hall went to look for the sisters early last night, but the lights in the room were on and no one answered." Zheng Lulu recalled carefully and said, "The female disciple didn't take them seriously when she saw no one there. It’s gone.”
"Lulu, do you think something happened between the two of them in the Sutra Pavilion? Or did it happen in the room, and then the body was thrown into the Sutra Pavilion?" Feng Sanyi suddenly asked.
"You need to go to their room and take a look." Zheng Lulu said solemnly.
Feng Sanyi waved his long pendulum and said: "Without further delay, let's go quickly!"
【Oriental Style·Yanyu Hall】
"Master, what should we do now? Senior Sister Lulu from Jiangtu Hall has already started investigating, and Senior Brother Qi Luo from Alchemy Hall has also intervened in the investigation." Yunzhi asked.
Yun Qixi remained silent, sitting on the chair and moving the tea bowl back and forth.
"Master, now the masters of each Five Elements Hall have sent their disciples to investigate. They are performing their respective duties. I am afraid they will find out soon..." Yunzhi said carefully.
When Yanyu heard this, he couldn't help but said: "Yunzhi, don't talk nonsense, it may not be Qianqiu's doing."
"But..." Yun Zhi was interrupted just as he was about to say something.
"Yunzhi, call Qianqiu over." Yun Qixi said slowly.
The beauty's face was slightly red but expressionless.
After a while, Qianqiu walked in with calm steps.
"Yanyu, Yunzhi, you two quickly go to Xiaofeng and Xiaolong's room to see what's going on inside." Yun Qixi ordered.
The two agreed and immediately went out.
Only Yun Qixi and Qianqiu were left in the entire Yanyu Hall.
Yun Qixi looked at Qianqiu, his eyes slightly tired, and then asked: "Did you go to the Sutra Pavilion last night? This matter is not trivial. Do not hide it."
Qianqiu hesitated for a while and said, "Been there."
"What are you going to do?" Yun Qixi looked obviously nervous and continued to ask.
Qianqiu paused for a moment and then explained the cause and effect of the matter, but he did not tell Yang Xian and You Buyu, and he changed the explanation of the poison they had received.
"Nonsense!" Yun Qixi suddenly stood up and slapped the table angrily.
The table cracked in response.
Qianqiu was a little flustered. He had never seen Yun Qixi get so angry before.
"The sect rules have repeatedly stated that you are not allowed to enter the Sutra Pavilion after the pavilion is closed at night, but you just ignore it?" Yun Qixi pointed at Qianqiu and asked.
Qianqiu said: "Master Yun, Qianqiu knew that he was wrong, but at that time..."
"What was that? You were poisoned when you went out on the pretext of cutting firewood, and then you ignored the rules and entered the Sutra Pavilion when you came back. Is there anything else you can't do?" Yun Qixi's voice began to tremble as she spoke.
Qianqiu had no choice but to bow his head and listen to the instruction. He didn't expect that things would develop like this.
"Now there is a lot of evidence pointing to you. If you have been there, you must have left a lot of clues." Yun Qixi calmed down, her tone was a little more polite, and she said to Qianqiu, "Let me ask you again, Xiaofeng and Is Xiaolong’s death related to you?”
Upon hearing this, Qianqiu was silent for a while and said, "Master Yun, although I don't follow the rules very well, I won't harm my fellow disciples, right?"
"Don't go out these days, stay in your room in the other courtyard." Yun Qixi said, "I can tell you, you may have gotten into big trouble!"
"Is it really that serious?" Qianqiu asked hurriedly.
Yun Qixi said: "Now that things have happened, Sect Leader Lian Bodai attaches great importance to this matter. Whether the murderer is an outsider or a member of the sect, he will never be tolerated if he commits a crime within the sect. Therefore, this incident Five masters were dispatched, vowing to find the murderer."
"Master Yun, please rest assured, Qianqiu will never do such an outrageous thing." Qianqiu said righteously.
Yun Qixi shook his head and said: "You may have oversimplified the matter. In the Zangjing Pavilion case, as long as you are found to have the slightest possibility of committing a crime, you will be arrested and sent to the Hall of Repentance for trial. Especially now, the supervisor The person involved in this case is Senior Brother Duan Jue."
"Master Duan?" Qianqiu asked.
"That's right, you also know that when you made such a fuss in the Alchemy Hall, Senior Brother Duan Jue regarded you as a thorn in his flesh, and has more than once instigated Leader Lian Bodai to severely punish you for various mistakes." Yun Qixi said slowly. .
When Qianqiu heard this, he immediately understood that it must be Yun Qixi's repeated protection that kept him safe.
He immediately knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, Master Yun, for helping me."
"Okay, I'm not going to do anything for you. The sect competition is coming soon. If you are caught, you will be disqualified from the exam. Just take care of yourself." After Yun Qixi finished speaking, she left.
Before leaving the house, he left a sentence: "Stay well in the room so that I can find you at any time."
When Qianqiu heard this, his heart aroused a thousand waves.
Ever since he was young, no one except his master was willing to really care about him. Yun Qixi's concise words made him feel warmer.
Qianqiu came out of Yanyu Hall and walked towards the other courtyard.
Along the way, he met disciples from various Five Elements Halls who were in a hurry. Only then did he realize that the impact of this incident was very great.
Qianqiu was stopped as soon as he stepped into the gate of the other courtyard.
"Qianqiu, take off your shoes." Peng Qi stepped forward and said.
Qianqiu took off his shoes with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Senior Brother Peng Qi, why is this?"
"I'm just doing a routine thing." Peng Qi said with a smile, "You can go back to the room if you have nothing to do."
Someone took Qianqiu's shoes and started sorting them.
Qianqiu asked nervously: "Senior Brother Peng Qi, have you seen Mr. Yang?"
"Junior Brother Yang? Oh, by the way, he is waiting for you in the room. He told me to let you know when you come back. He has something to discuss with you." Peng Qi still said slowly.
At this moment, the inspector came over and said to Peng Qifu: "Brother Peng Qi, Qianqiu's shoes are also suitable."
When Peng Qi heard this, his expression changed and he said in embarrassment: "Qianqiu, I'm sorry. Come, tie me up."
When the disciples around him heard this, they immediately rushed forward and grabbed Qianqiu's arms tightly.
"Senior brother, why is this?" Qianqiu asked even though he already understood about half of it in his heart.
"Qianqiu, we now suspect that you are related to the Sutra Pavilion case, so we can only temporarily ask you to sit in the Hall of Repentance." Peng Qi pouted towards the disciple next to him.
The disciples around him immediately kidnapped Qianqiu.
Qianqiu knew that he must not resist at this time. Once he resisted, he would be guilty of his crime.
"Senior Brother Peng Qi, help me tell Yang Xian and help me take care of Heibu!" Qianqiu turned around and shouted.
Peng Qi nodded and said: "I will convey it to you, Qianqiu, as long as it is not you who did it, the Oriental Faction will not wrongly accuse you."
【Oriental School·Alchemy Hall】
Yu Wenhua walked back from the door with Liuli and Qibi.
"Report to Master, Qianqiu was arrested by Peng Qi from Jiangtu Hall." Yu Wenhua said with a smile.
Duan Jue slowly turned around, waved his fan leisurely, and said: "Qianqiu, this ignorant boy, is arrogant and arrogant. A fledgling boy dares to act wild in our alchemy hall. Even if you didn't do this thing, It doesn’t matter, as long as you are not qualified to participate in the sect competition.”
"Master, do you want to add more firepower to Qianqiu?" the short and fat Liuli said with a smile as he stepped forward.
