C82 (2/2)
”Alright, how about this. If you find anything, come and talk to us about it at any time. Also, don't tell anyone about this. We'll definitely get the money back for you, okay?” Facing a monk who tried to coax me, I felt embarrassed. I decided to look for a room for him.
”Um, my two benefactors, I'll give you the room money, or else I really will be scolded to death by the Eldest Brother! Uuu ….”
After we bid our farewells to the still resentful master of law to, Zhang Ziyuan and I met up with Zhang Shaowu and exchanged information.
Zhang Shaowu shook his head first: ”I didn't discover anything here, I have checked all the teachers who had come in contact with the guest rooms in the backyard, there are no problems, they are all monks that have lived in Lingyin Temple for many years, I asked a few people, but I didn't find any movement around the temple.”
”It's fine, we found something here. Yesterday, there was no movement around the temple, because the real culprit was actually staying in the guest room behind Miss Jiang Ruoyun's room.”
”Ah?” ”So it really is a tenant who also lives in the backyard. I originally thought that this was the most likely scenario, but what about the specifics?” Zhang Shaowu asked.
I explained some things to him, causing Zhang Shaowu to also frown as he did not know what to do, ”Looks like, just because this thief kidnapped people, he left the Lingyin Temple, we have no idea where he went. According to that master's description of him, we cannot lock onto his identity, and I think we should ask Shuo Yue, if this person is really his enemy, he should know about his background.”
Zhang Shaowu made sense, and we went to the back courtyard where Jiang Ruoyun had gone missing to look for him. Shuo Yue was actually still sitting there in a daze, her entire mind was in a mess, her two eyes were completely lifeless, and when we walked in, he was completely unconscious, not knowing what to think. Looks like the incident of Jiang Ruoyun being captured had dealt a huge blow to him, and I suddenly felt a moment of regret and told him the truth.
”Shuo Yue, we just went everywhere to investigate and found some clues. Do you want to hear some?” I asked tentatively.
As expected, Shuo Yue immediately raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes also started to shine: ”If there's any clues, tell me quickly!”
”Um … I …” He actually couldn't say anything for a moment. He didn't know why, but he probably felt bad when he saw Shuo Yue's current state.
Zhang Ziyuan roughly understood my feelings, and explained for me: ”It's like this, my wife and I asked guest monk, who was in charge of managing the guest rooms in the backyard, that there was indeed such a strange guest staying at the back of Miss Jiang's guest room. That person didn't burn incense or worship Buddha, but stayed in the guest room for nearly half a month, and when Su Su and I went to the guest room in the back to recruit people, we discovered that he had already disappeared.”
Shuo Yue's eyes flashed: ”Looks like it's him, what kind of person is she?”
Zhang Ziyuan summed up the information he received from the law to: ”A person with an ordinary appearance, but a very thin body. One of his legs is limp, and he walked with a black mole beside his left eyebrow.
Zhang Ziyuan's memory is pretty good, I almost forgot everything.
Shuo Yue was stunned for a while, then finally had a reaction: ”It really is him, why didn't I think of it, it really is him!”
We faced off against each other, and sure enough, Shuo Yue recognized him. It seems like our hard work here wasn't in vain.
”Yes, who is it?” I whispered.
Shuo Yue laughed bitterly, she stood up and was about to rush out: ”Thank you! I'll go find him! ”
Zhang Shaowu immediately stopped him. ”Shuo Yue, why don't you explain yourself? It's awkward for you to go so quietly. ”
”Don't bother with it anymore, I'm already very grateful for helping me to this point. The rest of the things you guys can't help me with at all. I know where to find him, so wait here for my news.” Shuo Yue was starting to get impatient, it seemed like the danger level of that person was still high, he did not want to wait a moment longer.
I immediately said to him: ”Okay, we won't ask anything, but Miss Jiang is also a part of my rain house, she is what she wants me to do, I should go and save her, I will just follow you, and will not cause any trouble, okay?”
Shuo Yue shook her head before falling back onto the bed. ”It's all my fault, I never would have thought that I would cause such a great damage to Ruo Yun. If I could save her this time, I should have stayed far away from her.”
The atmosphere suddenly became strange. At this time, Wu Qi walked in from the outside: ”It's not really a solution to not eat or drink at all. I've brought back some snacks, why don't you discuss it while you eat?”
There was no helping it, I was really hungry and ate without dignity. Shuo Yue's appearance could not be eaten at all.
Zhang Shaowu sighed: ”Sigh, you're just one person. You don't have that much power to save people, are we not friends? Why are you so repulsed by our help? ”
