2684 Chapter 2684-never moved
“If Lord Xu Can remember, then there is no need for the time being.” Gu Xin said.
“Princess, I will remember. Princess, please ask.” Lord Xu said.
“How many people are there alone this night?” Gu Xin asked.
“There are seven of them. The rest of the people are accompanied by people, and there are also martial monks on night patrol in the temple.” Lord Xu said.
“Who are these seven people? What were they doing at that time? Also, are there any other pilgrims around the courtyard where the Wang family lives? did you find anything unusual at night?” Gu Xin asked.
“Other than the Wang family, there were two other juzis who stayed in the temple last night. They stayed a little late and were friends. They played chess the entire night and did not sleep until the Wang family’s matter was discovered. I’ve already ordered people to keep an eye on them. During the day, I let them sleep together, and I think they’re awake now. Other than these two and Lord Wang’s family, there were no other visitors at Hongyuan temple last night.” Lord Xu paused and continued, ” there are seven people in the temple who are alone. There is the abbot and six masters of the Jue generation. Because they lived in separate rooms, no one can testify for each other.”
“Didn’t the monks patrolling at night notice any movement? Just now, I took a look at the corpses of uncle Wang and the others. They didn’t die peacefully. I don’t think they died in their sleep, but were killed while they were awake. It’s impossible for there to be no movement at all.” Gu Xin said.
Lord Xu looked at the abbot.
“Amitabha!” The abbot chanted the name of Buddha and said unhurriedly, ” Your Highness, the warrior monks patrolling the temple are on duty. There are two monks every night. One was guarding the front door and the other the back door. The temple wasn’t large, but it wasn’t small either. They would go there almost once every two hours. This penniless monk has already asked around, and they have not discovered any movements. At night, there was no light in the courtyard where the Wang family lived, so everyone thought that they were asleep. No one had thought that such a thing would happen.”
“Great Abbot, from the moment you sent people down the mountain to inform Lord Xu, you had Hongyuan temple shut down? Has anyone entered or left the temple before this?” Gu Xin looked at the abbot and asked.
“Other than Yuan He who went down the mountain, no one else has come in or out. There were only two gates in the temple, the front and back gates. The rest of the place was surrounded by walls. The back door is always closed, and it is rarely opened during the day.” The abbot said with certainty.
“Alright, I got it. Lord Xu, could you please take me to the scene where all the victims were found? When you had people move it, did you remember the position before it was moved?” Gu Xin asked.
“Princess, I remember. I’ve asked someone to take a rope and mark it. I’ve marked every one of them.” Lord Xu replied.
Gu Xin nodded her head and called Lord Xu and the abbot to check out the rooms.
Coming out of the woodshed, the nearest room was where the servant boy and the coachman lived. It was a shared bed, and if squeezed a little, it could fit ten people.
The moment they entered, they could smell the stench of blood.
“Your Highness, I didn’t let anyone touch anything in the room. Even the window was the same as when I came in,” Sir Xu said. However, in the process of lifting the person, he touched the table, causing the table to move a little. Everything in this room was what this official saw when he first entered, and no one else has come in since.”
