Chapter 340 I Saw the Murderer
Chapter 340 I Saw the Murderer
It was almost time for lunch, so the monks moved the supplies from the front yard to the kitchen and started cooking lunch.
However, we dare not use the water in the well anymore and can only use the water that was stored before.
Gu Chaoxi calculated that the water could last until the host returned.
At that time, their time would also be up.
Therefore, they must find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise, that would be the time of their death.
She sat in her seat, patting her knee with her right hand from time to time.
The whole person seemed to be curled up, with only his eyes rolling around, and no one knew what he was looking at.
Pei Yan sat beside her and didn't say anything.
Qin Wei and Shen Yao sat on one side, mumbling something.
Gu Chaoxi could hear it, but after listening for a while, he found that the two were both arguing about previous events and lost interest.
Pei Yan saw that she looked listless, so he raised his hand and touched her forehead, feeling a little strange.
"Chaoxi, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Hmm? No?" She shook her head. Did she look sick? No, right?
"What are you thinking about?" Pei Yan leaned towards her and asked her in a low voice.
Gu Chaoxi shook his head and just smiled at him.
In fact, I really didn’t think about anything, but I felt that some things seemed to have been overlooked by myself.
The information Shen Yao had found before, about the story of the Qin family's master dying in the temple, seemed a bit incoherent at the time, and it still seems so now.
Also, regarding the eldest daughter of the Qin family mentioned in the comments, does she really exist?
She now feels that there might be this non-existent eldest daughter of the Qin family.
And the thing that Shen Yao asked the little monks about five years ago might have something to do with the Qin family at that time.
However, if everyone can only stay in the temple and cannot go out, the clues are still too narrow.
But if they could go out to the temple during the day, the outside would be too big for them.
She thought of the vision she saw at night, and suddenly her heart trembled.
"Ayan, is the illusion connected to the outside world?"
Since we can see things that happened before from the rooms in the illusion, then the illusion can also see things that happened in the same period, right?
But what exactly is this triggering condition?
What they encountered last night was not an illusion, but an attack by a strange black shadow.
In other words, there are actually no starting conditions for the appearance of the illusion. Perhaps they just need to walk to that place at night.
In that case, they need to move at night instead of just sleeping in their rooms.
If you are the host, try not to leave the room at night to avoid offending the gods.
But if you don't leave the room at night, there is no way for you to enter the illusion.
In other words, there is a paradox in the plane itself.
Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi curled the corners of his lips and raised his hand to pat his knee again.
"Ayan, it looks like you'll still be busy in the evening."
She had just finished speaking when she saw Qin Yi and Qin Mo walking towards her from the alley one after another.
The expressions of both of them seemed unnatural, especially Qin Yi, who looked a little pale.
Qin Mo behind him was not in much better condition. Although his complexion was better than Qin Yi's, his lips were very pale and he looked unwell.
However, these two people always insist on coming here to eat, and I don’t know what they are trying to do.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand with chopsticks and glanced at the things on the table.
On the table was the lunch that the little monks had just prepared.
Maybe because the supplies have arrived and we have a little more money, so today we surprisingly fried some dishes and served them up.
Although it is just vegetable leaves and meat stir-fried together, and there are not many pieces of meat in the vegetable leaves at a glance, but at least it changes the vegetarian state.
Gu Chaoxi reached out and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, then put it in his mouth and chewed it.
Although the taste is not that good, compared to the previous two days when there was only salt, today's food can be said to be very fragrant.
She lowered her head and took another sip of the porridge in the bowl, which was quite thick.
When she glanced sideways, she saw Qin Mo looking in her direction.
When he noticed her gaze, he turned his head away almost instantly, not even glancing at Gu Chaoxi.
In fact, she was a little confused about Qin Mo's attitude towards Shen Yunqian's identity. If she said that he liked her, Gu Chaoxi didn't think so.
What I feel more is dissatisfaction with Qin Yi and the injustice of my fate?
After dinner, everyone left.
Qi Chuzhao said that he always stayed at the temple doing nothing and felt guilty about it, so he wanted to go to the temple to look for clues.
Although Gu Chaoxi felt that he could not find any clues in the temple.
However, if the other party wanted to find something to do, she would not stop him.
Having something to do is much better than waiting anxiously for fate to come. This way he may still have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Zhou Ze seemed to be afraid that something might happen to him, so he offered to go with him.
As for Shen Lan and Zhou Youyou, seeing that Qi Chuzhao, a newcomer, was working so hard, it was naturally not easy for them to just sit there and do nothing.
So, the four of them formed a small team and went to look for clues on their own.
As for the remaining four of them, they were still sitting there without moving.
After all, Qin Mo and Qin Yi are still here.
Gu Chaoxi was a little curious. What were these two people trying to do by staying here?
Do you have anything else to say, or is there anything you want to discuss?
In short, Gu Chaoxi didn't move, and Pei Yan didn't move either.
Neither of them was in a hurry, and Qin Wei and Shen Yao were even less anxious.
Fortunately, Gu Chaoxi didn’t have to wait very long. After seeing Qin Yi say something, Qin Mo stood up reluctantly.
When walking out, Qin Mo turned back with some reluctance and looked at Gu Chaoxi several times.
But in the end, he still left.
About ten seconds after he left, Qin Yi stood up from where he was sitting.
She blinked and looked towards Qin Yi.
He frowned and walked towards the few people.
"I heard that Miss Shen and Mr. Zhou are investigating the cause of death of my father and Madam Zhao."
"Now that the government office can't come, of course we need to find it ourselves. Moreover, as the son of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing, I have reason to investigate the case."
This was said by Pei Yan.
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, just smiled, and waited for Qin Yi's next words.
He was silent for a moment, as if he knew he couldn't refute Pei Yan's words, and he lowered his shoulders a little.
However, he looked at Pei Yan as if he had made up his mind.
“In fact, I saw the murderer who killed Mrs. Zhao.”
"Oh? Young Master Qin, tell me about it?" Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "You speak first. I'm not in a hurry anyway."
Qin Yi sighed, as if feeling regretful, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"I saw that it was Luo Yu who threw Madam Zhao down from the well."
