"Donor, if you want to burn incense, please come this way."
A bald monk appeared behind Chi Mu. He stood in front of Chi Mu with his hands clasped together and a very peaceful smile on his face.
We followed the monk into the temple, where there was a huge Buddha statue, and on the altar were incense burners, water supplies and other items.
In the hall, there were several bald monks beating wooden fish. From time to time, villagers came in to burn incense to the Buddha statue, and then knelt down on the couch and kowtowed.
Following the example of the villagers, Chi Mu also picked up a stick of incense, lit it on the candle, and offered incense to the Buddha.
"Amitabha, may the Buddha bless all donors."
One of the monks put his hands together and bowed to everyone.
“We come here every month to burn incense. Now there are deaths in the village every day, and no one knows who the murderer is, which has caused panic in the village.
If the Buddha can open his eyes, please find this murderer. I don’t ask the Buddha to make me rich and powerful, I just ask the Buddha to find this murderer! "
An older villager complained to the Buddha statue, and all his words reached the monk's ears.
The monk's expression did not change, and he still had that smile on his face: "Donor, I have also heard about the recent tragedy in the village.
Buddha will surely find such a vicious person and punish him. But donor, you should be pious when you burn incense to Buddha, and should not have any desires. "
After a pause, the monk continued, "Otherwise, are you worshipping the Buddha or your desires?"
The villagers were stunned for a moment, then waved their hands impatiently and said coldly, "Humph, the village has paid you a lot of money for incense, but you guys are just hiding in the mountains.
If someone died in your temple, you would know how panicked the people in the village are now, instead of you saying here that Buddha will bless us."
After saying this, the villagers walked away.
The monk looked at his back, sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Donor, if you have finished burning incense, you can leave directly. Because the villagers will come to burn incense today, the small temple is small and it is easy to cause unnecessary congestion.
If you want to visit, you can come back another day.”
The monk looked at Chi Mu who had not left yet and reminded him.
Chi Mu nodded slightly. Before leaving, he asked the monk under what circumstances the bell in the Hunchback Temple would be rung.
"Donor, this bell in the temple is very old and can no longer be rung, so it is now just placed in the temple as a memorial.
Normally, this bell is not rung.”
"Okay, thank you, Master."
Chi Mu was just about to leave the Hunchback Temple when he suddenly smelled a strange odor.
Chi Mu vaguely remembered this smell. It was the smell of the cigarette that Cripple Li smoked.
"Strange, why is there a smell of smoke here? Has Cripple Li been here too?"
Very confused by the smell, Chi Mu no longer planned to leave. He followed the smell and started searching inside the temple.
The further you go into the temple, the stronger the smell becomes, and it is beyond the realm of smell that can be produced by smoke.
"This is definitely not the smell of cigarettes. This smell is so strong that it's more like the smell of burning incense for a long time."
Chi Mu frowned. He realized that he was next to the house where the monks lived, and the smells came from there.
"Damn, such a strong smell, if it's not from burning incense, then it must be from cigarettes. Doesn't that mean all these monks are smoking?!"
Chi Mu was a little confused. Why were these monks here drawing RELX 5? !
However, whether these monks smoked or not had nothing to do with Chi Mu, so he turned around and planned to leave.
However, just as Chi Mu was about to leave, a man in black clothes and holding a sack in his hand limped out of the room.
Chi Mu took a closer look.
Isn't this Cripple Li? !
The sack in Lame Li's hand clearly contained the shape of a person, and a shriveled hand was sticking out of the sack.
Before Chi Mu could take a closer look, Lame Li had already entered another room.
This scene was deeply imprinted in Chi Mu's mind. Could it be that he had accidentally bumped into the scene where Cripple Li killed someone and hid the body? !
——"Fuck, I said this Cripple Li is definitely the murderer, the evidence is conclusive!"
——"But it's strange. Why did Lame Li hide the body in the temple? He also appeared in the monks' residences. Could it be that he was in collusion with these monks?"
——"If we catch Cripple Li in the act now, won't the case be solved?!"
The atmosphere in Longguo's live broadcast room exploded instantly, and the screen was filled with comments that Cripple Li was the murderer.
On the other side, Chi Mu watched Lame Li disappear from his sight and did not immediately chase after him and catch him in the act.
According to his experience, one cannot jump to conclusion without seeing the entire body with one's own eyes.
"When we go back to the temple at night, we will find that these monks have a special relationship with Lame Li. This hunchback temple is far from being as simple as it seems."
Chi Mu secretly made up his mind and left the Hunchback Temple.
When coming down from the mountain, Chi Mu kept wondering why Lame Li appeared in the temple and was holding the sack that was suspected to contain the corpse.
Given Lame Li's physical condition, he should not be in the temple even though today was a day of sacrifice.
Because he was a cripple, and the way up the mountain was very difficult to walk on, even for Chi Mu, a normal person, it was very difficult to climb the mountain.
Not to mention Cripple Li.
So the fact that he showed up in the temple holding a corpse, and that there was such a strong smell of smoke in the area where the monks lived in the temple, there must be something fishy!
It is possible that Lame Li is not only one of the murderers, but another murderer may also be hiding in the temple.
Thinking of this, Chi Mu walked down the mountain. He planned to go to the convenience store.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chi Mu saw his burly father from afar.
He walked in a hurry, and Chi Mu was about to call him, but his father stopped in front of Lin Zhang's house.
My father looked around warily before knocking on the door.
Lin Zhang quickly opened the door. When he saw that it was his father, his sick face turned even paler. Without saying anything, he immediately welcomed his father in.
"Why did father go to find Lin Zhang?!"
Chi Mu was shocked. He had just asked his father about Lin Zhang’s wife at noon.
My father turned around and went to find Lin Zhang. There must be some necessary connection between them...
