"Master law to, why don't you pay him a visit now? It just so happens that we'll go with you and help you strengthen your courage. " I suggested to law to.
"Ah?" You guys are coming with me, how can you be so embarrassed? Ah, ah, you, do you suspect that this guest kidnapped your friend? I don't think he could have done that. " law to seemed to have thought of something and immediately rejected our idea.
"It's impossible for him to do that? Why? Are you familiar with his background? " Zhang Ziyuan suddenly asked.
"No, he's a disabled person, his legs are lame and his walking is particularly inconvenient, so people rarely see him leave the house. It's because of this that we tolerated him staying at our place and not chasing him away, and he still owes us money for his room. I still have to ask him for money this time."
Ah, so it was a cripple. Looks like there really was a problem. "Are you sure he wasn't faking it?"
"I don't think so. He really has a problem with one of his legs, furthermore, when I passed his room on a cloudy day, I could hear him wailing in pain, and I was even concerned about him when I went in to see him. He said that he was fine, it's just that the old wound in his leg had flared up, and it was extremely painful. I heard from all of you that the criminal who kidnapped Miss Jiang could move so fast, I don't think she's a cripple with a broken leg, right? " law to recalled this person.
He stayed in Lingyin Temple's guesthouse for a week without burning incense to worship Buddha. Was he really a homeless person with no place to stay, or was he the main culprit behind the kidnapping of Miss Jiang?
"How about this, we've agreed on this, we'll accompany you to find you, don't turn back and don't dare to go to your own Eldest Brother to get scolded, right?" I patted law to's Master on the shoulder to show my great encouragement.
"Alright, come with me." law to had no choice but to help us this time.
"Thank you, Master."
Indeed, that guesthouse was located at the back of Jiang Ruoyun's and Shuo Yue's room, it was pretty close, could it be just a coincidence?
"Benefactor, Benefactor Wang, I am the guest monk in charge of the guest rooms in the backyard. Open the door." law to knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no sound from inside.
"This is bad!" Zhang Ziyuan and I felt that something was amiss and immediately we kicked the door and rushed in. The law to wanted to stop us from being reckless, but unfortunately, he was a step too slow and the door was kicked open. Not only that, there were no luggage or any belongings used by the guests. It was as if no one was staying at all. It seemed like this matter was most likely done by that person.
"Eh? Where is Benefactor Wang Mu? " law to was still confused.
"Clearly, he left." Zhang Ziyuan said in a deep voice.
"Ah?" Gone? He still owes us a week's worth of room money? Why did he leave just like that! Eldest Brother will definitely scold me now! " The master of the law to looked like he was about to cry at the empty room.
"Master of the law to, you said that person is called Wang Mu?" Since the person had already disappeared, the only thing he could do now was to ask the monk in front of him.
"Yes, the name he registered is Wang Mu, and he also has an identity card. Everyone that comes to our temple to register for lodging, we all need their proof of identity." "No, I have to call the police. His behavior of not paying us a week's rent and leaving is just too vile!" As he spoke, law to Master's eyes turned red. It seemed that this master's Eldest Brother was really powerful, to the point where he was afraid of her.
"Can you not just call the police? If we guessed right, the name "Wang Mu" should be fake and the ID card is fake. Don't worry, we will get the room that he owes you back! " I couldn't help but to taunt this master for his narrow-mindedness.
"Ah?" Really? Can you guys help me get it back? " law to looked at me in disbelief. The feeling we gave him was that this Earth is too scary! It really refreshed my knowledge of this world. I want to return to Mars!
I seriously said to law to, "Of course you can. The condition is that you must tell me more about this person."
He promised law to that he would give him the room money that he owed him. "However, the condition is that you have to explain in detail about this person's clothes, appearance, habits, and the like to me. The more you explain it to me, the better."
"Alright, then I'll explain in detail." The law to seemed to have suddenly believed that we could get the money back for him, "This person is also very strange, dressed in clothes that aren't too outstanding, and his looks aren't too strange either. He looks like an ordinary person, but he's very thin, as if his body isn't well, and is more or less like a bamboo stick. Right, his voice was very strange and sharp, like the cry of an eagle. It made people feel very uncomfortable. As for other places, oh! "Oh right, I remember now. There's a mole next to his left eyebrow. It's quite small, not too obvious, but you can see it if you get closer. Isn't that one of the main features?"
law to spat for a long time, as if his last sentence was the most useful.
"Think about it carefully. Is there anything special about it?" There were so many people with moles on their faces, it would be too difficult to find someone based on this.
law to thought about it carefully again, then shook his head: "Indeed there isn't any more, this person is too ordinary looking, there is nothing worth mentioning him. His skin is especially black, his teeth are a little prominent, a little similar, thinking about the ape really doesn't have anything else."
"Alright, how about this. If you find anything, come and talk to us about it at any time. Also, don't tell anyone about this. We'll definitely get the money back for you, okay?" Facing a monk who tried to coax me, I felt embarrassed. I decided to look for a room for him.
"Um, my two benefactors, I'll give you the room money, or else I really will be scolded to death by the Eldest Brother! Uuu …."
After we bid our farewells to the still resentful master of law to, Zhang Ziyuan and I met up with Zhang Shaowu and exchanged information.
Zhang Shaowu shook his head first: "I didn't discover anything here, I have checked all the teachers who had come in contact with the guest rooms in the backyard, there are no problems, they are all monks that have lived in Lingyin Temple for many years, I asked a few people, but I didn't find any movement around the temple."
"It's fine, we found something here. Yesterday, there was no movement around the temple, because the real culprit was actually staying in the guest room behind Miss Jiang Ruoyun's room."
"Ah?" "So it really is a tenant who also lives in the backyard. I originally thought that this was the most likely scenario, but what about the specifics?" Zhang Shaowu asked.
I explained some things to him, causing Zhang Shaowu to also frown as he did not know what to do, "Looks like, just because this thief kidnapped people, he left the Lingyin Temple, we have no idea where he went. According to that master's description of him, we cannot lock onto his identity, and I think we should ask Shuo Yue, if this person is really his enemy, he should know about his background."
Zhang Shaowu made sense, and we went to the back courtyard where Jiang Ruoyun had gone missing to look for him. Shuo Yue was actually still sitting there in a daze, her entire mind was in a mess, her two eyes were completely lifeless, and when we walked in, he was completely unconscious, not knowing what to think. Looks like the incident of Jiang Ruoyun being captured had dealt a huge blow to him, and I suddenly felt a moment of regret and told him the truth.
"Shuo Yue, we just went everywhere to investigate and found some clues. Do you want to hear some?" I asked tentatively.
As expected, Shuo Yue immediately raised her head and looked at me. Her eyes also started to shine: "If there's any clues, tell me quickly!"
"Um … I …" He actually couldn't say anything for a moment. He didn't know why, but he probably felt bad when he saw Shuo Yue's current state.
Zhang Ziyuan roughly understood my feelings, and explained for me: "It's like this, my wife and I asked guest monk, who was in charge of managing the guest rooms in the backyard, that there was indeed such a strange guest staying at the back of Miss Jiang's guest room. That person didn't burn incense or worship Buddha, but stayed in the guest room for nearly half a month, and when Su Su and I went to the guest room in the back to recruit people, we discovered that he had already disappeared."
Shuo Yue's eyes flashed: "Looks like it's him, what kind of person is she?"
Zhang Ziyuan summed up the information he received from the law to: "A person with an ordinary appearance, but a very thin body. One of his legs is limp, and he walked with a black mole beside his left eyebrow.
Zhang Ziyuan's memory is pretty good, I almost forgot everything.
Shuo Yue was stunned for a while, then finally had a reaction: "It really is him, why didn't I think of it, it really is him!"
We faced off against each other, and sure enough, Shuo Yue recognized him. It seems like our hard work here wasn't in vain.
"Yes, who is it?" I whispered.
Shuo Yue laughed bitterly, she stood up and was about to rush out: "Thank you! I'll go find him! "
Zhang Shaowu immediately stopped him. "Shuo Yue, why don't you explain yourself? It's awkward for you to go so quietly. "
"Don't bother with it anymore, I'm already very grateful for helping me to this point. The rest of the things you guys can't help me with at all. I know where to find him, so wait here for my news." Shuo Yue was starting to get impatient, it seemed like the danger level of that person was still high, he did not want to wait a moment longer.
I immediately said to him: "Okay, we won't ask anything, but Miss Jiang is also a part of my rain house, she is what she wants me to do, I should go and save her, I will just follow you, and will not cause any trouble, okay?"
Shuo Yue shook her head before falling back onto the bed. "It's all my fault, I never would have thought that I would cause such a great damage to Ruo Yun. If I could save her this time, I should have stayed far away from her."
The atmosphere suddenly became strange. At this time, Wu Qi walked in from the outside: "It's not really a solution to not eat or drink at all. I've brought back some snacks, why don't you discuss it while you eat?"
There was no helping it, I was really hungry and ate without dignity. Shuo Yue's appearance could not be eaten at all.
Zhang Shaowu sighed: "Sigh, you're just one person. You don't have that much power to save people, are we not friends? Why are you so repulsed by our help? "
