There was no progress on the first day of the case.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wu An felt embarrassed to disturb the couple, so he left. He returned to the house, feeling very worried.

He served as an official for one year.

He had seen rebellions and the ascension of a new emperor, and wanted to be an idle official, but was 'tricked' by the new emperor into investigating a case.

"Ah, even if there is no one else in the court, why would they use me? I am just a medical student..."

The night is dark.

Ever since the murder, few people have stayed overnight in the temple. There are many people during the day, so people are not scared. But at night, people's fear is easily aroused.

Shi Shuang was not asleep. She heard the sound of even breathing coming from beside her and slowly sat up, just as she was about to walk to the door.

A voice came from behind.

"Where are you going, Ah Shuang?" Xie Wei had sat up without her knowing when, and was staring at her calmly.

Shi Shuang was startled and she coughed lightly.

"I can't sleep, so I want to go see what's going on in this temple and see if there's any treasure."

The space is going to be covered with dust.

Xie Wei's lips curled up, he put on his shoes and socks, walked forward and said: "It's gloomy here, I'll go with you."

The two of them walked together. When they passed by Wu An's house, they saw the light on and could vaguely see him reading by lamplight.

Shi Shuang sighed.

"It was like this in ancient times."

"The box he took was filled with case scrolls. Lord Wu has worked hard. He is obviously a good candidate to be an imperial physician, but he was assigned to investigate a case and could only cram in a short period of time." Xie Wei's lips curled up slightly. He looked like Wu An recommended by the emperor.

Wu An is smart and has a good memory.

The key is that he is not easily fooled. Even Gao Zhe's threat was easily overcome by him. Otherwise, he would not be alive today.

"A-choo!" Wu An rubbed his itchy nose and muttered, "Who is talking about me?"

He thought about it, who else would talk about him except the murderer?

The dormitory is located away from the monastery through the Great Buddha Hall. Shi Shuang suggested going to the Great Buddha Hall first because there is a huge Buddha statue enshrined in this hall.

Xie Wei opened the door a little and the two of them entered quietly.

Shi Shuang looked up at the Buddha statue, which had its head lowered, as if it wanted to say something but was unable to. She knelt on the cushion and said sincerely.

"I may offend you."

"A Shuang, are you going behind the Buddha statue?" Xie Wei immediately understood her intention.

Shi Shuang nodded, bowed again and again, looked at her husband, then went behind the Buddha statue, groped around, and sighed helplessly.

"could not find it."

"Perhaps, the murderer does not dare to offend the Buddha." After Xie Wei helped Shi Shuang down, he lifted up his robe, knelt in front of the Buddha and said, "Amitabha, we did not mean to offend you, but we are really worried because the murderer is at large. Please forgive us."

Shi Shuang sighed, thinking that there would be something to gain behind the Buddha statue.

After bidding farewell to the Buddha, the two went to the monastery.

The gates of the courtyard were closed and the only way to get in was to climb over the wall. Unlike the dormitories, there were many people living here, and they were divided into upper-class and lower-class rooms. After a round of wandering, I finally locked onto the library.

There's a strong smell of alcohol in here.

Xie Wei guessed, "Only monks from this temple can enter the Gold Storage Pavilion. Someone must have broken the precepts."

Shi Shuang frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"The smell of alcohol is too strong. Anyone passing by would definitely smell it. How come no one dared to say anything?"

Xie Wei saw that the door of the Sutra Repository was not locked. He pushed it open with a little force but couldn't. He tried harder but still couldn't push it open.

He and A Shuang looked at each other and whispered.

"It seems to be locked from the inside."

"I'll do it." Shi Shuang took out a dagger, gently inserted it into the crack of the door, and pushed upwards. With a "click" sound, she pushed it open, and Xie Wei entered first.

After looking around, he signaled that it was okay to enter.

Shi Shuang turned around and closed the door. Seeing that there was no danger around, she looked at the dirty shelf, reached out and touched it lightly, and her hands were covered with dust.

"It seems like no one has cleaned this place for a long time."

"The bookshelves are all tilted and many books are missing. It doesn't look like a scripture repository at all." Xie Wei frowned. This is a large temple in Shengjing, and many scriptures are collected here, but they are not well cared for!

What a waste of resources!

There was a hint of anger in his eyes. Before coming here, he thought that the murderer came from the temple, but he didn't expect that this place would be so dilapidated and miserable.

Shi Shuang casually picked up the book on the wooden shelf and said in a deep voice.

"Buddha will punish every bad person, whether alive or dead, they will all receive retribution."

When people do evil, even if disaster has not yet arrived, happiness has already left them.

She always felt that if you don't be a good person, you shouldn't be a bad person either. Cause and effect will always be cyclical, and you will get retribution somewhere.

The Sutra Library is like the heart of the temple.

This is already dirty, how can we talk about saving all living beings?

Xie Wei said: "Let's go to the cellar and take a look. The smell of wine seems to be coming from there."

The two men walked down one after the other.

The further they went in, the stronger the smell of alcohol became. When they reached the last step, they actually heard the sound of conversation. Shi Shuang quickly raised his hand and signaled to stop.

After determining the location of the person speaking.

She thought of a plan and whispered, "Ah'an, you stay here and guard the people. I'll go and scare them. These people might know something. The drunkards who can drink and eat meat here are not good people."

"Be careful." Xie Wei nodded. He leaned against the door of the cellar, holding the dagger tightly and warned.

This position is very convenient for seeing whether anyone has come to the Sutra Repository, and also for observing Ah Shuang's actions at all times.

You can defend when you advance and attack when you retreat.

Shi Shuang put on a layer of white gauze, let her hair spread out, and entered the space, which was equivalent to becoming invisible.

She suddenly appeared in front of Xie Yan, put her hands on her face, made a face, and silently gestured "ah".

Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat and his lips tightened.

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to pinch the flesh on her face, and said in a doting tone: "Cute ghost."

"Regent, you are quite brave." Shi Shuang snorted a few times.

I guess I don't look like a ghost at all, thinking about it, I took out foundation from the space and kept applying it on my face, painting my lips red and drawing two lines of blood and tears on my cheeks.

She turned around and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Yeah, very beautiful." Xie Wei's lips curled up. A Shuang was so cute.

Shi Shuang frowned: "Huh!?"

This is an insult to the disabled party! Is her painting beautiful?

Xie Wei immediately changed his words and said, "It's scary. Ahem, Ah Shuang, you should go quickly. If you don't go now, it will be dawn soon."

Shi Shuang entered the space.

In the cellar, four people were drinking. They were all monks from the temple, wearing robes covered with grease spots.

The monks were drunk, talking nonsense, and swearing.

"The wine is good, but it would be even better if it were accompanied by a beautiful woman."

"Hey, I saw a lot of beauties today, but they all refused to live in the temple, so it was hard to take action."

"There's always a chance."

A monk snorted coldly. He was sitting in a corner drinking wildly with a wine jug in his hand. When he heard them talking about beauties, he also became interested.

He staggered over and said.

"I actually have my eyes on a beauty, the regent's princess, she's really pretty!"
