Chapter 430: Dilemma
"The murderer is among you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room immediately fell silent.
Sun Shaozong didn't wait for them to react. He picked up the dagger, took a quick look at it, and said with a wave of his hand: "Except for the mother and child on the bed, take the rest away for separate interrogation. Be sure to ask them clearly about their every move and what they heard in the dark, and then compare them with each other!"
Lin Delu and Zhou Da hurriedly responded from behind and called on the female prisoners outside the door to go forward and arrest the person.
"Wait a minute!"
At this time, the leading monk suddenly put his palms together and asked with a gloomy face: "May I ask, Master Sun, what exactly do you want to do by leaving these evil mother and son alone? Do you want to protect them?!"
Judging from the sound, this monk was the culprit who caused the chaos by shouting in the darkness.
Sun Shaozong looked him up and down and asked, "What's your name, Master?"
The monk bowed slightly and said with a bit of pride: "I am Jiechen, the new monk, and I am now the head of the Discipline Hall of Fayuan Temple."
It turns out that he is in charge of the rules and regulations in the temple. No wonder he is always thinking about exorcising demons and defending the way of righteousness.
Sun Shaozong secretly complained, and spread the dagger on his palm, sneering: "Although the house of confinement is not as good as a formal prison, the prisoners will not have such a weapon on them, so we can rule out her suspicion."
The great monk Jiechen still said solemnly : "Since she is the mother of evildoers, how can we judge her with common sense? Maybe..."
Maybe it’s your sister !
Seeing that the monk was intent on dealing with demons and monsters, Sun Shaozong was too lazy to waste words with him and raised his voice to order, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and ask the monk to go out and interrogate him!"
Hearing a hint of impatience in the words, how could Lin Delu and Zhou Dan dare to neglect him?
Without even bothering to order a few more female jailers, they rushed forward to grab the big monk and dragged him out. Even so, the monk Jie Chen kept calling him a "monster".
The other monks were very aware of the situation and followed the female jailers out without waiting for them to take action.
Seeing that the female prisoners were all about to follow the general out, Sun Shaozong hurriedly called out to the two at the end and said to Wei Ruolan, "Since Judge Wei is involved in this, I'm afraid she will have to cooperate and give a confession."
Knowing that this was the rule of the interrogation, Wei Ruolan did not refuse. She just ordered the two maids with a cold face to find a set of clean clothes for Miaoyu to change into, and then she also escorted Miaoyu out.
When everyone had left and only the lewd nun and her son were left in the room, Sun Shaozong's stern expression suddenly fell.
This is really a case of "misfortunes never come singly"!
The case itself is not a big deal, but the problem is that once the monk dies, the child will probably be seen as a bad omen!
"What are you looking at?!"
Just when he was wondering what to do, he heard the lewd nun on the bed shouting again: "Even if you are the living King of Hell who judges the living and the dead by day and by night, how can you compare to the boundless power of Joyful Bodhisattva? If you are sensible, escort the Bodhisattva out quickly, so that you can have a rich and happy life in your next life!"
Tsk~
Add to that a mother who is so obsessed and talking nonsense, it would be strange if this child was not regarded as possessed by a demon!
Sun Shaozong was too lazy to pay attention to the crazy nun. He just stared at the child, thinking about how to make a choice - if he saved him, not only would the risk be too great, but there would be no benefit at all.
But Sun Shaozong felt guilty about watching an innocent baby lose his life.
He hesitated like this for an unknown amount of time when he suddenly felt a flash of light behind him. He looked back and saw Miaoyu walking in with a pale face. Before she could speak, she fell to her knees and kowtowed, saying, "Master Sun, please have mercy on me and save this child!"
Sun Shaozong turned around and looked at her with a frown. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the lewd nun behind him giggle and say, "You really are also a Bodhisattva of Joy. It's worth all my efforts to teach you!"
It turns out that mentally ill people are happier!
Sun Shaozong just ignored his words and frowned, "It's not your turn to raise this baby boy, why do you have to get involved and cause trouble for yourself?"
Miaoyu raised her neck, revealing her white and translucent collarbone, and said in a sonorous voice: "A monk should be compassionate. If you are unwilling to help an innocent baby, then you don't deserve to be a Buddha!"
Ouch!
After not seeing her for many days, her heart of a saint has not collapsed, but has become even stronger!
Compared with the monk next door who is determined to eliminate demons and defend the way, it's really...
"What good can your dry words do?!"
At this time, the lewd nun behind him was not happy, and she angrily said: "Since you want to find a Dharma protector for Joyful Bodhisattva, you should take off this burden, show the 'Dharmakaya' bestowed by the Bodhisattva, and convert him! As long as he tastes the bliss of the world, he will naturally sincerely follow my Buddha!"
Okay~
In fact, Sun Shaozong is quite supportive of this doctrine, but now is not the time to discuss "Joy Zen".
After a brief hesitation, he took Miaoyu out of the house of confinement, called two female jailers to guard the door, and led her to a secluded place, and asked seriously: "Do you really want to save this child?"
Miaoyu naturally nodded without hesitation.
Sun Shaozong was still a little worried, and further confirmed: "Even if you need to take risks yourself, you will have no regrets?"
This time Miaoyu did not answer immediately. She lowered her head and pondered, and did not say anything for a long time.
It turns out to be false compassion!
Sun Shaozong felt a little discouraged and was about to part ways with her, but he saw Miaoyu grit her teeth and suddenly reached out to unbutton her collar!
You have to know that this dress was borrowed temporarily, and it was very fluffy on Miaoyu. When the buttons were opened, the dress fell down, revealing a bulging apricot-yellow bellyband.
this……
Where on earth did she misunderstand?
What I said was that I personally took risks, not that I personally sacrificed my life!
Sun Shaozong wanted to explain, but his eyes fell on the bulging bellyband and his tongue refused to obey him.
It was not until Miaoyu took off her clothes and covered her chest with her two arms that he cleared his throat with an unsatisfied look on his face: "Well, it seems that you really want to save it. In this case, I will not joke with you anymore."
As he spoke, Sun Shaozong took two steps forward, accidentally stepped on the clothes, and said seriously: "Come closer, this matter is of great importance, we must not let others know!"
Miaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still turned sideways and put her ear close to him.
Tsk~
Although the timing was not right at the moment, the high angle still reminded Sun Shaozong of the saying "A mountain looks like a peak when viewed from the front and it looks different from different distances and heights."
