Volume Two: The Case of the Red Lotus in the Ancient Temple Chapter 39: The West Court
"Fire oil?" Upon hearing this, Xing Qianqiu's eyes lit up. He thought that this time the fire was just like the previous spontaneous combustion of Jingfa, without any clues.
Since there is kerosene, it means that the fire must have been set by someone.
And as long as you know that it was released by someone, everything that follows will be easy.
After all, it was impossible for kerosene to appear near the morgue out of thin air. Someone must have poured it on it.
"Kerosene?" Master Wangji frowned and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Duan, you can't talk nonsense."
"Where are you talking nonsense?" Duan Ming shook the black liquid in his hand again and said with a smile: "Here, it's right in front of your eyes."
Master Wangji stared at the black liquid on Duan Ming's hand for a long time without speaking.
"Master Wangji Hall." Xing Qianqiu smiled and said: "If you need this kerosene in your wing, I will order my subordinates to send you some later. But at this moment, our Mirror Division will start a thorough investigation here.
Once we find the real culprit behind the arson, you will not be left alone."
"Sorry for disturbing you, please say goodbye!" Master Wangji Palace said to Xing Qianqiu, then took a deep look at Duan Ming, turned around and left.
Soon, there was no longer a single Immortality Cultist in the entire North Campus.
Then, Xing Qianqiu looked at the many monks gathered outside the gate of the North Courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "I also ask all the monks to go back to their respective rooms and wait. I will send someone to have a chat with you later."
Upon hearing Xing Qianqiu's words, the faces of many monks suddenly changed and they left in a hurry.
"Mr. Duan, thank you." After everyone left, Xing Qianqiu breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Immortality Sect is allowed to implement the "Red Lotus Virgin Mother" this time, it will be even more passive next time.
"But, where did you find this kerosene? Why didn't I see it just now?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.
"Haha." Duan Ming shook his head and threw the black liquid in his hand to the ground: "This is not kerosene, it's just ink."
"Ah?" Xing Qianqiu was stunned: "ink?"
"That's right, if we couldn't produce evidence just now to prove that the fire was man-made, then the master of Wangji Hall would never give up." Duan Ming said: "There is no other way, I can only make this move."
"This is not the worst policy, it is clearly the best policy!" Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "If it weren't for Mr. Duan, we would have been passive at this moment."
"Lao Xing." Duan Ming nodded: "Now send someone to keep an eye on the Immortality Sect and remember all the monks coming in and out."
"It's impossible for people from the Immortality Cult to come to our North Campus. Even if they come, they will attract everyone's attention and won't be able to do anything at all." Duan Ming explained: "That's why they can do such things quietly.
, it can only be a monk."
"Is there another problem within the Mirror Department?" Xu Shizhong asked on the side, and then glanced at Xing Qianqiu: "It's like, like..."
"No." Xing Qianqiu replied: "Master Wangji just saw Mr. Duan, and he obviously didn't know him or even heard about it. If there is a traitor in the Mirror Department, it is impossible not to tell Wangji about Mr. Duan.
Palace Master."
"Xu Shizhong, go and make arrangements." Then Xing Qianqiu patted Xu Shizhong on the shoulder: "On the one hand, as Mr. Duan said, choose some trustworthy brothers to keep an eye on the Changsheng Sect. Remember all the monks entering and leaving, no matter how small they are.
You can’t miss it either. On the other hand, check carefully the people who come into our North Campus.”
"That person made such a big move, there is no way he would have been unaware of it." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "At the same time, if we take a closer look at the Mirror Division, even if no one defected to the Immortality Cult in advance, it is not ruled out that someone would have taken advantage of him for accepting bribes.
'It's convenient'."
"Yes." Xu Shizhong nodded, and then went to make arrangements.
"Mr. Duan, what are you going to do?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming.
"What should I do? Go back to sleep." Duan Ming looked at Fa Wu and the other three who had been silent, and said to Xing Qianqiu: "I can't find anything in the middle of the night, so go back and have a good sleep now.
.I will leave these three masters to you. Ask me about the purification of the Dharma and tell me tomorrow."
"Okay." Xing Qianqiu was not surprised, nodded, and returned to the room with Fa Wu and the others.
Duan Ming stood there, took a deep look at the charred house, and then returned to his own room to sleep.
Early the next morning, when Duan Ming opened the door, Xing Qianqiu was already waiting for him outside.
"Hey, Lao Xing, can you stop being like a wake-up call and keep watch over me here early in the morning?" Duan Ming curled his lips and said.
"This is the confession that Fawu and the other three said yesterday." Xing Qianqiu ignored Duan Ming's words, but handed Duan Ming a piece of paper: "Also, Xu Shizhong went to the east courtyard to monitor yesterday and discovered three people.
Would you like a monk who is doing quite well to be brought here now?"
"Not yet." Duan Ming shook his head: "How is your investigation on the Golden Buddha?"
"There are still no clues. The other party is very careful. Even the monks in the temple don't seem to know who the other party is." Xing Qianqiu sighed.
"Oh, that's just right, let's go and ask now." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"Ask?" Xing Qianqiu looked at Duan Ming doubtfully.
"That's right. I've been here for two days, but I haven't even visited the abbot yet, which is a bit rude." Duan Ming said, "So, I should naturally go and visit him now."
"But I personally asked Abbot Xuanbei, and he refused to say anything." Xing Qianqiu said.
"I didn't point at him and say anything." Duan Ming smiled and then walked towards the west courtyard.
When the monks in the West Courtyard saw Xing Qianqiu and Duan Ming coming here early in the morning, they were very confused and didn't understand what they wanted to do.
"Amitabha." Following the Buddha's name, Jingxin walked over and said, "Donor Xing, Donor Duan, I wonder why you two are here?"
"Hello, Master Jingxin." Duan Ming smiled and greeted Jingxin: "It's okay. It's just that I finally came to Brahma Temple once, and I haven't said hello to the abbot yet. I feel a little uncomfortable.
Okay, so I came here to say hello to the abbot today."
"Amitabha." Jingxin nodded and turned sideways: "Two donors, please come with me."
Then, under the leadership of Jingxin, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu came to a corner of the west courtyard. There was an independent wing here, which was the abbot's room.
"Dong dong dong!" Jing Xin stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door of the wing: "Abbott, Donor Xing and Donor Duan from the Mirror Division are here to visit."
"Amitabha." A Buddha's name came out in the room, and then a very magnetic voice sounded: "Please come in, please two donors."
