Master Yushui's words are not all excuses for Jingyuan. Indeed, from the time he went down the mountain to the time he came back, Jingyuan was either with them or with Master Changyang, and had never been alone together at all. If he had to find a suspect, first of all
You can exclude him.
Then there are three people left. Qiuqiu is an outsider. Master Yushui hates her to the core now. It is a pity that he has never brought back such a troublemaker. This is not despicable. It is human nature. No one favors his apprentice.
? Even if a Taoist has a Taoist companion, his or her bloodline will rarely be passed down. Disciples are closer than children. Even fools know who to protect between their own children and other people’s bastards.
I understand, but that doesn't mean Qiuqiu isn't angry.
She is not a saint, this is just a sudden misfortune. Even when she went down the mountain last time, she was not the one who wanted to go. It was Jing Fei who forced her to go with her.
But she was the most unlucky one when something happened.
Senior brother Jinghai has Master Yuxiang to stand up for him, Jingyuan and the others have Master Yushui to protect them, but she has nothing but her.
Thinking of Senior Brother Jinghai, Qiuqiu couldn't help but feel sad.
Senior Brother Jinghai was probably the only person who was friendly to her.
Jingfei was brought in quickly. She looked pale, glanced at Qiuqiu who was lying on the ground, and seemed to shudder.
Excluding Jingyuan, then if there is a monster, Qiuqiu knows that it is not him, then it is among Jinglan and Jingfei.
Qiuqiu's eyes moved from Jingfei's face to Jinglan's face.
That night, Jinglan came back so late, she said she went to collect herbs. But does it really take that long to collect herbs? And does the mountain bee really exist? It is said that in the winter season, wild bees are about to enter.
Not very common.
Qiuqiu looked at Jinglan, and coincidentally, Jinglan was also looking at her at this time, and their eyes touched in the air.
Jingfei trembled all over after meeting so many elders from her master's sect. Master Yushui said with a straight face: "If the master and the elders ask you, just tell the truth."
Jingfei knelt down not far from Qiuqiu and replied. Her voice was trembling, but she still expressed her meaning clearly.
"I...I went to bed early. Senior sister Jinglan went out first, and later, Jingqiu also went out. I slept in a daze, and I don't know where they went. Jingqiu came back first, and senior sister came back very soon.
Late, I don’t know the specific time... Senior sister said she went to dig for herbs, and she did bring back one herb, and I saw her the next day."
From this point of view, the suspicion fell on her and Jinglan.
Jinglan's face was pale, and she knelt down next to Jingfei: "Master, uncle, master, I did go to find herbal medicine, and I also found a rare red autumn leaf. Master also saw it."
Already."
Master Yu Shui nodded: "That herbal medicine looks good. It has been growing for more than 20 years. It is difficult to find. The people in the elixir pharmacy also know this."
Jinglan saw that there was physical evidence and witnesses, and it seemed that she had been cleared.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qiuqiu again.
Master Yuqing didn't say anything. It was Jing Yue who asked, with a fairly calm tone: "Junior Sister Jingqiu, where did you go that night?"
"I went to town." Qiuqiu knew that the current situation was very unfavorable to her. She had neither strong physical evidence nor as thorough a witness as Jinglan.
"What did you do?"
"I went to the thrift store. I didn't read much when I was with Senior Sister Jinglan and the others in the afternoon, so I went there again in the evening and bought some used books."
Someone said something sarcastic: "Why are used books so important that you have to rush to buy them in the middle of the night? The shops in the town are not closed at night? Can you still buy things at that time?"
If this matter were told completely, it would be a long story. Firstly, it is not convenient for Qiuqiu to talk about the things involved. Secondly, even if he did, would these people believe her and let her go?
Qiuqiu decided not to dwell on this. She asked directly: "Should Senior Brother Jinghai be killed when I left the library? I remember clearly that it was the last moment. Since the monster killed Senior Brother Jinghai at that time, at that time
,Sister Jinglan, where are you?"
Jinglan raised her head and said without any guilt: "I was with Jinghan, Jingyu and the others, and we were never separated for a day."
That means she has an alibi.
"Where is Jingfei? Where are you?"
Jingfei turned her head, her eyes both fierce and panicked: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Where were you? What were you doing?"
"I...I was taking a nap in the room." Jingfei glared at her: "Don't even think about biting me back! Who else would go to a place like the library besides you? You must have harmed Senior Brother Jinghai and others.
Senior brothers, you still want to get involved with others, how cruel are you?"
"Then has anyone seen you taking a nap in the house?"
Jingfei Naiyao narrowed her eyes: "What do you mean? What nonsense are you talking about? You and Senior Sister Jinglan went out when you went down the mountain, and I didn't go out."
"No, just like no one can prove for me that I didn't kill Senior Brother Jinghai, no one can prove for you whether you are really sleeping. Just like that night, I was not here, and neither was Senior Sister Jinglan. Are you really sleeping?"
You have been sleeping in the house? Who can prove you when we are not here?"
Master Yushui slammed the table angrily: "That's enough! This is pure filth! Drag her out!"
Master Yuxiang glanced at him: "What are you so anxious about? You want to kill people and silence them? Although this girl can't tell the difference, if she is right, your disciple may not be innocent."
Jingfei stopped staring at Qiuqiu now and bit her lip fiercely.
Qiuqiu didn't mean to apologize at the moment.
She knows she is innocent, and Jinglan and Jingyuan have strong witnesses, so - is Jingfei the one with the problem?
Now neither of them can prove their innocence, but——
Qiuqiu suddenly thought of something, and she raised her head suddenly: "Senior Brother Yuxiang, Senior Brother Jinghai... where are the things he took with him after he encountered an accident?"
Although Master Yuxiang didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question, he really didn't care about Jinghai's external possessions. When he saw Jinghai's cold and blue body, Master Yuxiang rushed straight to the door with anger, why did he care?
Gotta get this.
He glanced at the disciple beside him.
His disciple hurriedly said: "Junior Brother Jinghai has everything he brought with him, including his sword, talisman, and some other things. I was afraid of any obstruction, so I put them away."
Qiuqiu didn't know if such a thing was useful, but she had to find a way out for herself now.
"Can you please ask this senior brother to fetch the relics of senior brother Jinghai?"
The disciple looked at his master's face and saw Master Yuqing above him slightly nodding his head in approval, then he ran away and came back with a bundle in a moment: "It's all here."
Qiuqiu moved forward two steps. She was tied up tightly. Even if she wasn't tied up, her arms were broken and would be of no use now.
Master Yuxiang's disciple saw what she meant, took the initiative to put the baggage on the ground, and then opened it.
The things inside are indeed from Jinghai, and Qiuqiu can recognize them - the disciples of the sect all have a talisman around their waists, and this piece is Jinghai, but now it is splattered with blood.
Her eyes were sore - no, now is not the time to be sad.
The box that Jinghai showed before was placed underneath. Qiuqiu anxiously pointed at the box and said that the disciple also understood. He tentatively picked up the box: "This?"
The junior next to Elder Wei rushed to say: "Be careful of fraud."
Qiuqiu hurriedly said: "This is what Senior Brother Jinghai said he wanted to give me the day before yesterday. It's an armband. He said that this armband will light up when a monster comes near. I thought it was too valuable, so I didn't accept it..."
Qiuqiu glanced at Jingfei: "But I don't know if this thing will really light up when it encounters monsters -"
Master Yuqing's expression also became serious: "Show it to me."
