The clothes that the man was wearing were inconspicuous, but his bald head seemed to glow, shining so brightly that people were stunned in an instant.

Si Hai cried out in surprise: "Brother Si Jie!"

The person brought by the head constable turned out to be a monk!

The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

Si Hai walked over quickly and tried to help the man up: "Brother Si Jie, why is it you? What on earth is going on?"

The monks known as the "Four Precepts" allowed themselves to be dragged and made to sit on the ground without saying a word.

"Let him go quickly, this must be a misunderstanding!" Sihai shouted.

The head of the police ignored Sihai and said to the county lieutenant: "Sir, when I led people there, I saw signs of a minor fight in Liu Sheng's house, and there was blood."

"No one else besides this person?"

"yes."

A young man who was staying inside couldn't help but interrupt and said, "There should be a maid in Liu Sheng's house."

In a town like theirs, it was a big deal if a family had a maid, so the young people remembered it very clearly.

"I didn't find the maid, but I left two brothers to look for Liu Sheng's mother in the town. I will bring this person back to report."

The county lieutenant looked at the monk and asked: "Why did Master Sijie appear in the deceased's home?"

"Amitābha." Before Sijie could speak, Xuanci chanted the Buddha's name loudly to attract everyone's attention. "Sijie was sent by the poor monk."

"Uncle Master——" All the monks changed color.

Xuanci remained calm: "The poor monk saw that the donor Liu was killed in the temple, and was worried that his mother would be killed by evil people, so he sent Sijie to invite her over. Amitabha, I didn't expect that something bad would happen. If it weren't for the arrival of the officials, even Sijie would have been killed."

Sihai, who had the hottest temper, was obviously relieved.

Everyone in the temple knew that Sijie was Master Xuanci's closest disciple, so he was really scared just now.

"Is that so?" After hearing Xuanci's words, the county lieutenant asked Sijie indifferently.

Sijie finally raised his head at this time, tears streaming down his face: "Master, I have failed to live up to your trust——"

Jiang Si watched all this quietly, frowning slightly.

The county lieutenant was obviously in some kind of dilemma because of the absence of Liu Sheng's mother, and he stood there with his hands behind his back without saying a word.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

"Captain Zhao, take all the officers to look for that person, whether it's Liu Sheng's mother or the maidservant, bring whoever you find back immediately."

"Yes." Captain Zhao immediately left with several people, but they came back not long after. Before they even got close, they shouted excitedly, "Sir, we found the person!"

The county lieutenant couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his voice unable to conceal his excitement: "Bring him here quickly!"

Captain Zhao walked in front, followed by two constables carrying a stool. On the stool lay a woman with gray hair, and beside her was a terrified little maid.

"Are you injured?" The county lieutenant walked quickly to the woman.

The woman's eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and she looked like she was breathing in more than out.

Sijie stared at the woman without blinking, with the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Where was the injury? How did you find him so quickly?" asked the county lieutenant.

Captain Zhao replied: "The wound is on the left side of the chest.

An inch away. As soon as I walked out of the temple gate, I saw some people from the town carrying this woman towards me. I heard from them that this woman was sent to the clinic by a stranger, and he left a lot of money and asked them to carry her here.

The county lieutenant looked at the woman carefully.

It was obvious that the woman's injuries were serious. Even if she was not carried away and stayed in the town's hospital, she would have a hard time surviving.

But the most important person can't speak, what should we do next?

Yu Jin suddenly came over, and Captain Zhao reached out to stop him.

He stopped and handed a white porcelain bottle to the county lieutenant.

"This is——"

Yu Jin and his companions had outstanding manners and temperament, and were obviously not ordinary people. Although the county lieutenant knew this, he did not ask more questions because the case was urgent.

Moreover, at his age as a county lieutenant, he was an official in charge of public security. He had seen too many things and knew that in this situation, asking about the backgrounds of several people would be detrimental to the case, so he simply pretended to be ignorant.

But this does not mean that he does not take what Yu Jin and others said seriously.

"A life-saving drug that can keep a seriously injured person awake for a while."

"After that—"

"There will be no side effects. If the victim is already in a critical condition, he will still die."

County lieutenant: “…” Whose child is this? Hasn’t he ever been beaten for talking like that?

Yu Jin showed little expression when facing the dying woman. He just played with the porcelain bottle in his hand and asked the county lieutenant: "Does your Excellency need it? If not, I will put it away."

Since this case involved Jiang Zhan from the beginning, it would be great if the truth could be revealed. If it just gets away with it in a vague way, it would have nothing to do with them.

The more open-minded Yu Jin became, the more casual his attitude became.

Instead, the county lieutenant was confused for a long time, and then he made up his mind: "Okay, let's give it to her."

"Sir, if this medicine of unknown origin is given to someone and something happens, it will be a sin." Xuan Ci reminded him with his hands clasped together.

Yu Jian put the porcelain bottle back in a decisive manner: "My Lord, please think carefully. This is nothing to do with me. Anyway, I will not bear any responsibility."

The county lieutenant frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded resolutely: "Give her medicine! Such an injury is already beyond repair. I can't save her, but at least I can't let her die in a daze without even knowing who killed her son."

One of the men took the porcelain bottle, took out the pills and fed them to the woman.

The county lieutenant took the opportunity to ask the maid who had followed him: "How did your master get injured?"

The little maidservant was still in shock: "I was boiling water in the small room inside, and suddenly someone broke in and stabbed the lady with a knife. Then another person came out, knocked the man down and tied him to a chair. At that time, the maidservant hid inside and dared not to come out. Later, people found the maidservant and asked her to lead the lady to the clinic..."

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the Four Commandments.

Sijie looked very unhappy.

After he was knocked down, he was unconscious for a while and had no idea that everything was seen by the little maid.

"Auntie is awake!"

The county lieutenant stepped forward and shouted, "Sister-in-law, wake up."

The woman slowly opened her eyes.

She didn't say anything, her eyes turned slightly and she looked a little confused about the environment she was in.

The county lieutenant considered it for a moment, fearing that the woman would soon collapse and die, so he decided to tell the truth: "Sister-in-law, I am the county lieutenant of Fuxing County. This is Lingwu Temple--"

The woman suddenly became excited: "Did Shengzi get into trouble?"

The woman believed her son was in trouble when Lingwu Temple was mentioned, and her reaction further confirmed the county lieutenant's theory.

"Liu Sheng...was pulled out of the well behind Lingwu Temple today. He was murdered!" The county lieutenant spoke very quickly, fearing that the woman would faint after hearing half of it. "Sister-in-law, you have to hold on. Now you are the only one who can point out the murderer who killed your son!"

The woman was struck by lightning when she heard the county lieutenant's words. Her eyes moved rapidly, and after looking in one direction, they stopped and moved away again. Confusion, shock, pain and all kinds of complex emotions flashed through her mind, and finally froze in one place.

Everyone followed her line of sight.

Xuan Ci stood there, expressionless.
