Chapter 193 The Real Murderer

Interesting, muttering words to a pool of blood, do you really think that you can let the dead rest in peace by doing this?
If the real murderer has not been caught, no matter how much salvation is done, it is just a comfort in the heart, so that I can live with my conscience.

"The dead rest in peace, may the soul cross the bridge of Naihe and lead to the road of reincarnation, so that the next life will not endure such suffering!"

After reading the last passage, the great monk stood up with the support of several disciples, and bowed to the pool of blood.

"Let's go, clean up the blood tomorrow, and then move back to live, suppress the resentment here!"

"Yes, Master!"

Even if these monks are not very willing in their hearts, there is no way.

Master's order is greater than the sky.

Ye Qiu scoffed at this way of handling it.

Do you really think that reciting a few passages of scriptures can make this matter go away?
If it was really caused by dirty things, as Ye Qiu guessed, it would probably be useless to read the scriptures until death.

Soon, several monks removed the candles, closed the windows again, and finally bowed their luggage to the bloodstain, then exited the room and locked the door again.

When the surroundings fell into darkness again, Ye Qiu tiptoed to the door and yanked hard, directly pulling the lock open.

After entering the house, Ye Qiu closed the door again.

Unlike the monk's house in the Golden Pavilion Temple, the room Ye Qiu entered was filled with a strong scent of aromatherapy.

Mixed with that kind of faint blood, it makes people somewhat uncomfortable with victory.

Walking in front of the big puddle of blood, Ye Qiu used the same motion to smear some solidified plasma, put it in front of his nose and smell it.

Same taste.

It looks like it was indeed done by the same person and using the same method.

Serial killer without a doubt.

Just as he was about to leave, Ye Qiu felt a sudden burning sensation in his right wrist.

Looking around, nothing unusual happened.

Originally, Ye Qiu thought that there were unclean things around, and that the evil spirit beads would react.

Now it seems that is not the case.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiu took the Buddhist beads and threw them directly on the pool of blood.

At this time, the Buddha beads, which were still somewhat dim, completely shone with dazzling white light, as bright as starlight.

hiss!
This blood is weird!

Ye Qiu quickly picked up the Buddhist bead and put it back on, took out a small bottle from the storage ring, picked out some blood clots and put it in.

After finishing these, Ye Qiu left the monk's room.

"Well, did you find anything?"

Suzuki, who was waiting anxiously, ran over the moment he saw Ye Qiu.

"Yes, the same person was responsible for the murder at Kinkaku-ji Temple."

"The blood of the dead also has those strange smells."

"Let's go, go to the last temple. If it's the same, then this case will be a bit tricky."

"It really is a serial killer!" Suzuki sighed, the most worrying thing happened.

"Ang, it was speculation before, but now it's confirmed."

"It's not a copycat, it's the same person." Ye Qiu said flatly.

"Then let's go to the last temple. The murder case happened only in the last few days. I hope to find some useful clues."

Suzuki was very discouraged by the fact that two consecutive temples failed to gain much.

If the same is true for Longan Temple, then he will really fall into a desperate situation.

"Are we leaving again?"

Seeing Ye Qiu return to the car, Riyo Igawa stuck his head out of the bedroom and asked.

"Yes, there is one last temple left, you can continue to sleep, I will call you if something happens."

"Okay, then be careful, I always feel that this case is not that simple."

"Don't worry, nothing can hurt me."

As a world-class cultural heritage, Ryoanji Temple is famous for its large-scale courtyard buildings.

This is a famous dry landscape garden, which is a representative of the abstract beauty of the country of cherry blossoms.

But it is such a beautiful courtyard-style temple, but now it has been involved in a murder case, and the number of people visiting it has dropped sharply.

"I am quite familiar with the abbot here, and he is the kindest one. I got a lot of support from him back then."

"Master Xuanhai, that's his name. I think we should be able to find useful information from Long'an Temple."

Suzuki was eager to try, and temporarily left behind his previous unfavorable start, and only hoped that Ye Qiu would be more aggressive this time.

Find the direct evidence that can catch the murderer!

Because it is night, in places like temples, at this point, many places are very dark.

It is an expression of reverence for the gods.

Passing through a secluded path, the eyes suddenly opened up.

It is worthy of being a courtyard-style temple. The style of each courtyard is different, and the layout is also in line with the common sense of feng shui in the country of cherry blossoms.

The ancient well, the rockery, the flowing stream, and the mandarin duck pool that changes its scenery in four seasons constitute the Long'an Temple that Ye Qiu sees now.

"Just ahead, there are very few monks in this temple, only Master Xuanhai and a few of his disciples."

"He is really indifferent to fame and wealth. He guards such a large area, but opens up many areas for free, and even teaches the scriptures for free. Such monks are rare!"

It seemed that Suzuki admired this Master Xuanhai very much, which aroused Ye Qiu's interest.

What kind of character will it be?

Turning left and right, Suzuki led Ye Qiu past many luxuriously decorated courtyards, without stopping, but continued walking without looking back.

It was not until they came to a dilapidated thatched hut that they finally stopped.

"It's here. In order not to affect the layout of the whole temple, Master Xuanhai built such a hut himself."

The house in front of him was so simple that Ye Qiu wondered whether it could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Maybe a gust of wind blows and the house disappears.

Such a frugal monk really surprised Ye Qiu.

"Master Xuanhai, I'm Suzuki, can I go in?"

Shouting in a low voice at the door, the airtightness of this thatched hut is very poor, so there is no need to worry that the people inside cannot hear it.

"Come in." An old voice came from inside the house.

Nodding to Ye Qiu, Suzuki pushed open the door made of bamboo and walked in.

Although the thatched hut looked crude from the outside, but after entering it, it was discovered that there was something wrong with it.

The basic furniture is still very complete, but it is all hand-woven.

Ye Qiu even suspected that the Master Xuanhai who was wearing hemp clothes and hemp shoes in front of him did it himself.

He has a stooped body, a gray beard, and is not too tall.

However, he is full of energy and in an excellent state of mind, which is not like what this age group can have at all.

"How is it? How's the case? Are there any clues to the murderer?"

Xuan Hai asked with a smile, obviously he and Suzuki were already very familiar.

"No...the only confirmation is that the murderer is a serial murderer."

"I don't know if we will do it again. We have to try to catch him before the tragedy happens, and we can't let him continue to be so arrogant."

Suzuki was very helpless when he heard someone asking about the process of handling the case.

So many security officers have spent so much time, but they have achieved nothing. It is inevitable to make people laugh when it is said.

"Oh, it's okay, don't worry, if you can't find the murderer, forget it."

As soon as this remark came out, Suzuki immediately became furious.

"That can't be done, Master Xuanhai, how can you say that?"

"As a security officer, a murder case of such a bad nature has occurred, so it is natural to investigate it to the end."

"No matter what, I will bring the murderer to justice, send him to the prison, and eat in prison for the rest of his life!"

Suzuki clenched his fists, his gaze was firm.

But there was one thing he didn't understand, why Master Xuanhai was so abnormal.

As an eminent monk, shouldn't he agree to arrest the perpetrators and give the dead a rest?

Why persuade Suzuki to give up the hunt?

"Who is this……"

Seeing that the young man who came in with Suzuki remained silent, Xuanhai asked curiously.

"Oh, he is my friend, a very powerful guy, he should be able to help me find some clues."

Pulling Ye Qiu to his side, Suzuki introduced it very proudly.

"Oh? That's it, then there must be something outstanding about it."

Xuan Hai squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Qiu carefully.

When his eyes scanned Ye Qiu's right hand, Xuan Hai's heart skipped a beat.

how come……

This is……

"That... Suzuki-kun, can I trouble you to go out first, I have something to say to this little brother."

"what?"

Shouted out in surprise, Suzuki was a little dazed.

What do you mean, this is going to drive me away.

No, this is too unkind!
"I have something important to discuss with this little brother, and it will be over soon, and then I will call you."

Although it sounded like a discussion, there was a hint of refusal in his tone.

"Okay, then I'll go out first."

I didn't expect that I brought the people by myself, but I was the one who was kicked out by others.

After Suzuki left, Xuan Hai looked at Ye Qiu more curiously.

"Can you show me the prayer beads in your hand?"

Seeing such a kind-hearted old man in front of him, Ye Qiu didn't refuse, took it off and handed it over.

As if looking at some rare treasure, Xuan Hai looked at it carefully and stroked it gently with that bark-like hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's made of relics."

Master Xuanhai's voice was a little choked, his hands trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"That's right, these are evil spirit beads, specially used to target evil spirits and filthy things." Ye Qiu nodded.

I didn't expect that the rewards produced by the system could be recognized by people.

It seems that Master Xuanhai has good eyesight.

"If that's the case, then this matter can finally be resolved!"

As if heaved a sigh of relief, Xuanhai returned the evil spirit beads to Ye Qiu.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, now, I don't think there is any need to hide anything from you."

"After all, I still need your help to completely end this cause and effect."

These words sounded inexplicable at first, but Ye Qiu immediately realized something.

"Actually, the culprit of these three tragedies is not a human being, but a nine-tailed demon fox who has been trained to become a spirit."

really……

It seemed that they were waiting to see Ye Qiu's surprised expression, but after waiting for a long time, they found that he hardly had any reaction.

"Um... don't you think it's absurd?" Xuan Hai couldn't help asking.

If you tell other people about monsters, they will probably be scared to death.

But Ye Qiu's reaction was astonishingly calm, as if he knew the truth of the matter long ago.

"No, my prayer beads are quite special. If they come into contact with unclean things, they will have a strong reaction."

"Previously in the Golden Pavilion Temple and Tianlong Temple, I touched the blood of the dead, and the Buddhist beads gave an early warning."

"So I probably also guessed that the guy who took the lives of these three people was not an ordinary human being."

"Hiss, it turns out that it is indeed a treasure made of relics, and the effect is really powerful!"

"It seems that this time, I am more confident in dealing with that guy." Master Xuanhai was a little excited, and even his bowed body straightened a lot.

"Master, can you tell me the specific situation of this nine-tailed demon fox, why did it take the lives of these three people?"

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the key to victorious battles. Ye Qiu doesn't know anything about that nine-tailed demon fox. If he encounters it, he will inevitably fall into a passive position.

"it is good!"

"This demon fox appeared in the Kyoto area three years ago. It was originally just a little fairy who could absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and there was no threat."

"But on a certain day a few months ago, I don't know what good luck I encountered, and I opened up some spiritual wisdom and learned the method of cultivation."

"Since then, its strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and even some professional monster catchers are no match for it."

"Until a month ago, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox encountered a bottleneck in its practice, and needed the help of foreign objects to break through."

"You should have thought of it, the heart of an adult man is what it needs for cultivation."

"But according to my guess, this matter is not over yet." Xuan Hai paused.

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

"Because it is a nine-tailed demon fox, it can be regarded as the top existence among fairies."

"If you want to make a complete breakthrough, you need the hearts of nine healthy adult men, and you can achieve your goal after taking it."

"And now, there are only three corpses, three hearts, and there are still six."

"That is to say, there are still six?"

"That's right!"

Hearing this answer, Ye Qiu also gasped.

This nine-tailed fox is really vicious, killing three people is not enough.

If it is not caught quickly, innocent people will die.

"I didn't tell Suzuki-kun about this, because it was useless to tell him."

"Ordinary humans don't have any ability to fight back when encountering goblins, and ordinary hot weapons are useless."

"That's why you persuaded Suzuki to give up chasing criminals, right?" Ye Qiu asked with narrowed eyes.

"That's right, I don't want those sheriffs to die, and I don't have the ability to subdue that nine-tailed demon fox myself."

"To be honest, these things were told to me by an old friend of mine. He is the last demon exorcist in the Kyoto area."

"And he himself was seriously injured in the battle with the nine-tailed fox, and passed away not long after."

"At first I wanted to give up, but I saw this string of beads on your hand."
