Arou handled most of her affairs, big and small. Arou had been by her side for so many years, and she knew Arou's character well. Arou didn't know martial arts and couldn't possibly have dug the tunnel by herself.
Besides, Arou came with them, so if Arou is dead here, someone must be in contact with her.
Xiao Zijin noted the shape and size of the wound, "This wound is thin and sharp, and its width seems to be left by the Junior Tutor."
“There are two kinds of shoe prints here. The shoe prints are not messy. The two people did not fight. They were standing facing each other. Arou was killed without warning.” Shi Shui also found a clue. These things combined made the characteristics very clear.
Ji Hanfo concluded, "It must have been Arou who conspired to steal and switch the Junior Master's Sword, but she didn't expect to be silenced by her conspirators."
"Judging from the size of the footprints, you can tell at a glance that the other person is a man." Fang Duobing looked at the footprints on the ground, but something was strange. Normal shoes would leave flat marks when they stepped on them, so why were these completely different?
"Li Lianhua, come here and take a look. Isn't this strange?" Fang Duobing beckoned to Li Lianhua. Li Lianhua, seeing Li Lianxin still picking out items, went over to examine them. The item looked very familiar.
It seemed familiar. Seeing Li Lianhua frowning, Fang Duobing assumed this thing was also troubling her. "What's wrong? Is there some difficulty?"
"This person should be hiding in Pudu Temple. It's quite a coincidence, the monks of Pudu Temple all wear these homemade straw sandals, so the marks they leave are naturally different from ordinary shoes. Besides, there are no such straw sandals outside." With just one sentence, the location of the murderer was determined, and the Baichuanyuan group also had some admiration for him.
Unlike them, Shi Shui wasn't idle and didn't just stand there like he was glued to the spot. He wandered around looking for clues, as a faint light shone through the wall.
The blow landed squarely on Shi Shui's face, making her notice something unusual. "There's a crack in this wall, as if it connects to the outside world."
Seeing this, the group went to Pudu Temple to look for clues. They immediately learned that a new cook had recently arrived at the temple, and coincidentally, it had happened just half a month prior. They found Master Wule, who was somewhat stunned upon seeing them.
How come they're back after only two hours?
Fang Duobing got straight to the point, revealing everything about Arou's death and the theft of the Young Master's Sword. After all, these were common knowledge, and there was nothing to hide.
Wu Liao immediately understood their purpose in coming here, but the person... Thinking of this, Wu Liao sighed, "Alas~ When I was reminded by someone to investigate, Jing Ren had already disappeared. I just didn't expect him to be such a vicious and wicked person."
“With the combined efforts of Baichuan Academy and Pudu Temple, we will definitely be able to find that thief,” Xiao Zijin said immediately, without the slightest hesitation.
Master Wuliao nodded, "I hope so, Amitabha."
Master Wu Liao led them to the kitchen, where Fang Duobing found a piece of paper with writing on it. The meaning on it was quite clear that it should belong to A Rou, but it still needed to be checked by an acquaintance to ensure that there was no mistake.
“Miss Qiao, do you recognize the handwriting on this?” Fang Duobing handed over the paper in his hand. Qiao Wanmian took it and looked at it. “This is indeed Arou’s handwriting.”
Thinking of the above, "My love is so obsessed with this sword that I feel ashamed before my young lady. I also do not want my love to have any regrets. I wish to fetch it for him to see, and then return the sword to him without anyone finding out."
Now everything is clear. "It seems that this girl, Arou, was deceived by love. She only wanted to exchange the sword for her lover who was obsessed with the young master, but she did not expect that her lover had ulterior motives and killed her to steal the sword."
