Chapter 375 The Murderer
In order to verify his speculation, Gu Qingyi decided to give it a try himself.
But she didn't expect that she had just made a new discovery when she got behind the Buddha statue.
She originally planned to try out which position would be harder to see, but she accidentally kicked the bottom of the Buddha statue while moving, making a dull thud.
This was obviously not the sound that a solid stone could make, and Gu Qingyi immediately realized that there was something wrong with this place.
So she squatted down, fumbled for a while, and actually took off the stone slab in front of her. Only then did she discover that the bottom of the Buddha statue was hollow.
Later another body was found inside.
Gu Qingyi was already a little numb. Although she ran away from home just to be a god and caught a handful of detectives, encountering three corpses in one night was still a bit too exciting for a newbie.
And this is another headless corpse, naked, and can only be barely identified as a young man.
Fortunately, there was something under the Buddha statue. Gu Qingyi and Ma Lu moved the headless corpse out and found another head from underneath.
And there are two bags.
One of them should be the head of the headless corpse, but the second head Gu Qingyi took out made the scholar's expression change.
Because that was clearly He Qisheng's head.
The scholar did not expect that He Qisheng actually died like this as Ma Lu said.
This made him freeze on the spot.
And Ma Lu was not surprised at all when he saw He Qisheng's head. Instead, he was slightly surprised by the new corpse from before.
However, his face was surprised, but his hands were not polite, and he touched it while he was going to help.
But what I touched this time was a bit ordinary - Li Family Boxing Card Pack.
Opening the card pack, there are only 3 punches in it, and they all have only one level. The strongest move has only 2 points of power, which is stronger than the basic punches, but only a little stronger.
Malu even suspected that the deceased was not a martial artist, and was probably at the level of a street gangster.
"Does anyone... know who he is?"
Gu Qingyi placed the new body on the ground, and then asked everyone around him, but did not get any answers.
Gu Qingyi was also murmuring in her heart at the moment. When she first heard about the murder, she thought she had an opportunity to show off her talents.
But this case is obviously more complicated than she imagined. Not only has the cause of He Qisheng's death not been solved, but two new corpses have been added, and there are more and more mysteries.
Gu Qingyi began to feel that she was a bit of a fool when she took out the arrest warrant of the Iron Cloth Sect. If the murderer could not be caught in the end, it would be a small loss for her, and it would be a bit more costly than the loss of the Tie Yi Sect to be embarrassed.
Just when Gu Qingyi was worried about how to maintain the prestige of the Iron Clothes Sect next, Ma Lu calmly took a few steps back and stood behind her.
Gu Qingyi noticed Ma Lu's little move and whispered.
"Did you find something?"
Malu nodded, leaned into her ear again, and uttered six words, "The murderer is still in the temple."
"Ah?" Gu Qingyi almost couldn't help but exclaimed, looked around, and then said, "How do you know?"
"Because except for He Qisheng, all the corpses we found were inside the temple, and there were no other footprints outside the temple. This means that the murderer brought the corpse back after killing the person. If it was someone from outside, there is no need to bother."
Malu took a deep breath and said.
Gu Qingyi thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, and asked, "Then who do you think is the murderer?"
Malu did not answer the question directly, but said, "Actually, the wrong options have been almost eliminated. The remaining one, even if it seems impossible, is the correct answer."
After hearing what he said, before Gu Qingyi had time to think about it, she heard the tall and thin Songxi Sword Sect disciple suddenly shout.
"You must be the murderer of my senior brother!"
His eyes were fixed on Malu, "Speaking of which, I have suspected you for a long time. There are so many people in the temple, but you are the only one whose origin is unclear. You did not bring any luggage, and you appeared here alone wearing night clothes. Wild mountains and ridges. Haha, it looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.”
Gu Qingyi heard this and defended Ma Lu, "He is not a murderer. I have sparred with him. He has no martial arts skills at all. How could he kill He Qisheng."
Another disciple of the Songxi Sword Sect also said at this time, "Don't let Gu Shenzai be deceived by him. Maybe he secretly changed the deck when he was sparring with you and pretended not to know martial arts just to cover himself up." The identity of the killer."
Gu Qingyi was a little hesitant when he heard what he said.
The main reason is that Ma Lu's behavior is indeed a bit too different from ordinary people. He doesn't even know the basic rules of playing cards. He doesn't look like a normal person.
If he was pretending, all this would be explained clearly.
However, Gu Qingyi was still reluctant to believe that Ma Lu was the murderer. Seeing the two disciples of the Songxi Sword Sect walking over, she subconsciously stopped in front of them.
The expressions of the two Songxi Sword Sect disciples suddenly changed, "Gu Shenqi, what do you mean?"
"There must be some misunderstanding here." Gu Qingyi said solemnly, "Everyone can pretend to be fake, so why don't you suspect other people, such as the family of three over there?"
She pointed at the beautiful middle-aged woman who was giving the man medicine.
After the corpse appeared, the family huddled in a corner and did not join in the fun. They only peeked here from time to time, which was in line with the reaction of ordinary people who did not want to get involved in trouble.
Therefore, no one suspected them, and the two Songxi Sword School disciples obviously did not think they would be the murderer.
Especially the man looked really sick, and he was coughing almost all night, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. He didn't look like someone who could kill people.
The tall and thin man finally couldn't help seeing Gu Qingyi's unreasonable insistence, "Hmph, you are protecting him so much, I think your identity and origin are probably very problematic, did you steal the God Constable Order?"
This is actually what many people think.
Although Gu Qingyi claimed to be a God Constable and had the token of the Iron Cloth Sect, her performance tonight was really not like a qualified God Constable.
The more bodies were examined, the less clues there were about the murderer. It was only because of the great reputation of the Iron Cloth Sect that no one questioned her.
But now seeing Gu Qingyi stopping them from arresting the murderer who killed their senior brother, the tall and thin man didn't care so much.
Gu Qingyi was also anxious after hearing this, "Give me some more time, I'm almost done with it."
"Forget it, don't waste your energy." Another disciple of Songxi Sword School also mocked, "What have you found out? You said the murderer is in Aunt Zheng's family. I think you are desperate and want to find someone to do the job."
