"Is the coroner here?"

"When I returned to Lord Xiao Xu, I did not find the yamen coroner. I heard from the neighbors that it was Mr. Coroner who went to visit relatives."

Xu Hong looked a little annoyed when he heard this, and muttered, "I won't visit my relatives early or late, why do I have to visit my relatives when I have something to do?"

Xu Hong received the order from Zhan Shuyun and quickly brought people to block and control the scene. At the moment, he was in the Zen temple where he was having a murder case. After listening to the report from his subordinates, he kept slapped his forehead and said, "Who else can do this job? Where can I find a coroner quickly in Beijing?"

After a moment, he clapped his hands heavily, "By the way! And Brother Chang!"

Xu Hong hurriedly ordered his subordinates, "Hurry to Lord Zhan's mansion to bring Dr. Chang Wenyuanchang here, and tell him that there are corpses here that need him to check, and bring him here quickly."

"yes."

The subordinates took the order to leave. After Xu Hong made arrangements, he finally put down a stone he was thinking about. He breathed a sigh of relief, retreated aside, and guarded the door of the Zen room.

In the Zen room, Zhan Shuyun and Yuanchen covered their mouths and noses and carefully checked the Zen room.

In the Zen room, a middle-aged woman pinched her neck tightly with her hands, her eyes were red and wide, her mouth was opened and her tongue was exposed, and her body was curled up on the cushion. The wooden fish in front of the cushion was overturned to the ground, and the rod that hit the wooden fish was thrown out far away.

The Zen room was specially set up by the temple for pilgrims to understand Buddhist principles. Therefore, the Zen room was not rich in decorations, only futons, tables, chairs, pots and bowls for basic living needs. There were not many other unnecessary decorations, so it was a little empty. However, when Shu Yun and Yu Chen entered the Zen room, neither of them found any inappropriate things other than the overturned wooden fish.

The other objects were neatly decorated, and there were no signs of fighting in the house. It seemed that the woman's death was her own cause, like... she strangled herself to death.

"It seems that we can only wait for the coroner to perform an autopsy before deciding the next move." Zhan Shuyun made a judgment.

Yu Chen nodded, looked at Zhan Shuyun, and walked out of the door of the Zen room.

The door was opened. Although there were officers and soldiers guarding the gate, there were still many people gathered outside the gate, most of which were middle-aged and elderly women, all dressed well. I think it was the women in the Beijing area in the next few meditation rooms, who were now driven out by the officers and soldiers and stopped outside.

Although these women's faces were not very good at this moment, they were much better than when they heard that they had died at the beginning. At this time, they gathered outside the courtyard gate. When they saw the door of the Zen room opened, they stretched their necks to see. Obviously, they were curious after being frightened and wanted to see the scene in this Zen room.

Zhan Shuyun's gaze only swept over there, but did not stop. Yuchen stopped observing the crowd for a moment, and then withdrew his gaze.

"Sir, the entire Xuntian Temple has been fully controlled, but because of the large number of people burning incense, some people still ran away..."

When Xu Hong saw Zhan Shuyun coming out, he gave up his hand and reported the situation one by one after another. Finally, he said: "The coroner in our Dali Temple went home to visit relatives and could not find anyone. His subordinates could not think of where to find coroner, so he took the initiative and called Dr. Chang Wenyuanchang over."

After listening to Xu Hong's report, Zhan Shuyun nodded and said that he knew that he had no intention of being held accountable. Instead, he said: "You have done a good job. There are many pilgrims coming to Xuntian Temple to burn incense. It is obviously impossible to control them all. However, in the later stage, we still have to check one by one and find the pilgrims who have left here as much as possible."

Xu Hong received the order: "Yes, sir, I'll make arrangements now."

Zhan Shuyun waved his hand and signaled that Xu Hong could leave.

When Xu Hong walked through the crowd and walked to the side, the ladies in the capital could no longer sit still.

"Sir Zhan, please wait."

Outside the Zen temple, a voice came from the crowd stopped by the officers and soldiers.

Zhan Shuyun stopped and looked at him in the voice. He saw an old woman wearing a royal blue jacket and a forehead wiping in the same color, looking straight at him with a shelf, "Do you dare to ask Lord Zhan, has the murder been solved?"

How could a murder case be solved? It is not a child’s game to guess the right or wrong, but it is not a joke that can be said by just one, two or three with just one touch. It is not so easy. The old woman is obviously not like an ignorant person in her deterrence. That old woman said this a little interesting.

Yu Jing touched his ears and thought that this old woman might be a problem.

"Has Lord Zhan solved the case?" The old woman asked again when she saw Zhan Shuyun not speaking, but her tone was not very good.

Zhan Shuyun stood there for a while, then shouted, turned his foot and moved towards the gate of the Zen Temple, and finally stopped in front of the line guarded by the officers and soldiers.

"The murder case is not so easy to solve, so naturally the real murderer has not been found yet."

The old woman was obviously waiting for Zhan Shuyun's words. She snorted coldly when she heard this, raised her head slightly, and her posture became even more intense. "Why would you ask Zhan Shaoqing, you have no idea how to trap us here? Could it be that you suspect that we, the women who are powerless, are the murderers who kill others?"

The old lady's words seemed to trigger the women's emotions of being expelled after being frightened and feared. After the old lady said this, she echoed and questioned her.

"We came to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha very much, but we didn't expect that we would have such a thing. You Dali Temple will solve your case and seize us women!"

"That's right, you marble are so domineering in handling cases. You actually detained us, the wife of the court, and did not let us go!"

"We don't know the cause and effect of the incident, and we are not the real murderer who killed the deceased. Zhan Shaoqing doesn't go to handle the case. Is it because we want to be against our master?"

"We are not murderers, we are just women. We come here to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name for blessings. How could we do such evil things in a pure and holy place like Buddhism? Zhan Shaoqing should let us go quickly!"

“That’s it…”

All the wives, you say something, and you all say something, and you will reveal one meaning inside and outside - let them go.

Thinking about it, it is natural that the people in the Zen Room of Xuntian Temple are panicked, and it is understandable that they don’t want to wait here. What they said is not without reason. If they had not believed in Buddhism, how could they come to Xuntian Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, seek blessings and safety, and it is unlikely that they will commit murder.

But this is bad. The deceased was found in a meditation room in this meditation temple. The women living here are closest to the deceased. The coroner has not had an autopsy yet. It is impossible to determine whether the cause of the deceased's death was due to his own reasons or to kill him. It is easy to say that the cause of his own cause. If he killed him, then these women are the most likely to run into the murderer, or... the murderer is among these people.

Yu Chen's quiet eyes swept across the angry crowd one by one, and saw every face with different expressions. There were familiar people in the middle, such as Lin Shangshu's wife, and strange faces.

"Young Master Duan, do you think so?" Mrs. Lin suddenly looked at Yu Jin and said.

As soon as Mrs. Lin spoke, the women's eyes, which were originally concentrated on Zhan Shuyun, fell on Yu Xi, both curious and scrutinizing, and each had their own ideas.

"Mr. Duan thinks Zhan Shaoqing's move is appropriate?" asked Mrs. Lin.
