Chapter 375 Murderer


    ?In order to verify his speculation, Gu Qingyi decided to try it out by walking it himself.


    Unexpectedly, she made a new discovery just after walking behind the Buddha statue.


    She originally planned to try out which position would be harder to see, but she accidentally kicked the bottom of the Buddha statue while moving, making a dull thud.


    ?This was obviously not the sound that a solid stone could make, and Gu Qingyi immediately realized that there was something wrong with this place.


    ?So she squatted down, fumbled for a while, and actually took off the stone slab in front of her. Only then did she discover that the bottom of the Buddha statue was hollow.


    After that, another body was found inside.


    ? Gu Qingyi was already a little numb. Although she ran away from home just to be a **** and caught a detective addiction, encountering three corpses in one night was still a bit too exciting for a newbie.


    ??Moreover, this is another headless corpse, naked, and it can only be barely identified as a young man.


    Fortunately, there was something under the Buddha statue. Gu Qingyi and Ma Lu moved the headless corpse out and found another head from underneath.


    And it’s two bags.


    ?One of them should be the head of the headless corpse, but the second head Gu Qingyi took out made the scholar''s expression change.


    Because that was clearly He Qisheng’s head.


    The scholar did not expect that He Qisheng actually died like this as Ma Lu said.


    ?This made him freeze on the spot.


    ?Ma Lu was not surprised at all when he saw He Qisheng''s head. Instead, he was slightly surprised by the new corpse from before.


    ?However, while his face was surprised, he was not polite with his hands, and took advantage of the opportunity to touch him while he was trying to help.


    But what I touched this time was a bit ordinary—Li Family Boxing Card Pack.


    Opening the card pack, there are only 3 punches in it, and they all have only one level. The strongest move has only 2 points of power, which is stronger than the basic punches, but only a little stronger.


    ?Ma Lu even suspected that the deceased was not a martial artist, and he was probably at the level of a street gangster.


    “Does anyone... know who he is?”


    ?Gu Qingyi placed the new body on the ground, and then asked everyone around him, but did not get any answers.


    ??Gu Qingyi was also murmuring in her heart at the moment. When she first heard about the murder, she thought she had an opportunity to show off her talents.


    But this case is obviously more complicated than she imagined. Not only has the cause of He Qisheng''s death not been solved, but two new corpses have been added, and there are more and more mysteries.


    ?? Gu Qingyi began to feel that she was a bit of a fool when she took out the arrest warrant for the Iron Clothes Gate. If the murderer could not be caught in the end, it would be a small loss for her and the shame for the Iron Clothes Gate would be more than worth the gain.


    ??Just when Gu Qingyi was worried about how to maintain the prestige of the Iron Clothes Gate next, Ma Lu calmly took a few steps back and stood behind her.


    ?Gu Qingyi noticed Ma Lu''s little move and whispered.


    “Did you discover something?”


    ?Ma Lu nodded, leaned into her ear again, and uttered six words, "The murderer is still in the temple."


    "Ah?" Gu Qingyi almost couldn''t help but exclaimed, looked around, and then said, "How do you know?" "Because except for He Qisheng, all the corpses we found were in the temple, and there were no other corpses outside the temple. Footprints, this means that the murderer brought the body back after killing the person. If it was someone from outside, there is no need to bother. "


    ?Ma Lu took a deep breath and said.


    ??Gu Qingyi thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, and asked, "Then who do you think is the murderer?"


    ?Ma Lu did not answer this question directly, but said, "In fact, the wrong options have been almost eliminated. The remaining one, even if it seems impossible, is the correct answer."


    ?After hearing what he said, before Gu Qingyi had time to think about it, the tall and thin Songxi Sword Sect disciple suddenly shouted.


    “You must be the murderer of my senior brother!”


    His eyes were fixed on Malu, "Speaking of which, I have suspected you for a long time. There are so many people in the temple, but you are the only one whose origin is unclear. You did not bring any luggage, and you appeared here alone wearing night clothes. Wild mountains and ridges. Haha, it looks suspicious no matter how you look at it.”


    Hearing this, Gu Qingyi defended Ma Lu and said, "He is not a murderer. I have sparred with him. He has no martial arts skills at all. How could he kill He Qisheng?"


    Another disciple of the Songxi Sword Sect also said at this time, "Don''t let Gu Shenzai be deceived by him. Maybe he secretly changed the deck when he was competing with you, pretending not to know martial arts, just to cover up. The identity of the killer."


    ??Gu Qingyi was a little hesitant when he heard what he said.


    The main reason is that Ma Lu''s behavior is indeed a bit too different from ordinary people. He doesn''t even know the basic rules of playing cards, and he doesn''t look like a normal person.


    If he was pretending, all this would be explained clearly.


    ?However, Gu Qingyi was still reluctant to believe that Ma Lu was the murderer. Seeing the two disciples of the Songxi Sword Sect walking over, she subconsciously stopped in front of them.


    The expressions of the two Songxi Sword Sect disciples suddenly changed, "Gu Shenquan, what do you mean?"


    "There must be some misunderstanding here." Gu Qingyi said solemnly, "If anyone can pretend, why don''t you suspect other people, such as the family of three over there?"


    She pointed casually at the beautiful middle-aged woman who was giving medicine to the man.


    ?After the corpse appeared, the family huddled in a corner and did not join in the fun. They only peeked here from time to time, which was in line with the reaction of ordinary people who did not want to get involved in trouble.


    ?Hence, no one suspected them, and the two Songxi Sword Sect disciples obviously didn’t think they would be the murderers.


    ?Especially because the man looked really sick. He coughed almost all night, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs. He didn''t look like someone who could kill anyone.


    Seeing Gu Qingyi''s misbehavior, the tall and lanky man finally couldn''t help it anymore, "Huh, you''re protecting him so much. I think there''s probably a big problem with your identity. Could it be that you stole that arresting warrant?"


    This is actually what many people think.


    ??Although Gu Qingyi claims to be a divine catcher and has a token from the Iron Clothes Sect, his performance tonight does not look like a qualified catcher.


    The more and more corpses were checked, but the murderer did not have a clue at all, but because of the heavenly name of the iron door, no one questioned her.


    But now that he saw Gu Qingyi preventing them from apprehending the murderer of their senior brother, the tall and thin man no longer cared so much.


    ? Gu Qingyi became anxious when he heard this, "Give me some more time, I''m almost going to find out."


    "Forget it, don''t waste your efforts." Another disciple of the Songxi Sword Sect also mocked, "What did you find out? You also said that the murderer was in Aunt Zheng''s family. I think you were in a hurry and sought medical treatment. Let’s just say it’s a personal transaction.”
