Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

"I, I, I saw Master lying on the ground as soon as I entered the door, so I quickly went up to call out to Master, but when Master didn't respond, I, I, I touched Master's mouth and nose and found that Master was not breathing."

The young novice monk stammered nervously.

Xiao Zhan said gently, "Little Master, don't be nervous. Think about it carefully. Are you sure you only touched Sanmu Dan's mouth and nose, and didn't touch anything else?"

"Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down."

"Huff, huff, huff!"

The young novice obediently took a few deep breaths, and his mood gradually calmed down. He said, "I'm sure I touched Master's mouth and nose. When I saw that Master wasn't breathing, I was so scared that I cried. Then I stumbled out and ran to call for help."

Xiao Zhan: "Why did you touch his mouth and nose?"

Young novice monk: "Isn't that how it's always portrayed on TV?"

Xiao Zhan said to Shen Jun, "Take him out and hand him over to the comrades outside to take a statement. Then call the technicians in."

Xia Ke could tell Xiao Zhan through her earpiece that the technicians had arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.

Shen Jun: "Yes."

Then he said to the young novice, "Come out with me."

The young novice monk looked at Xiao Zhan and said, "Sir, you must capture Mr. Liu to avenge my master!"

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "I will definitely seek justice for the deceased. Oh, by the way, does your master usually carry a cell phone with him?"

The young novice monk said, "My master always carries two cell phones with him."

Xiao Zhan: "Two cell phones? What brands are they?"

Little novice monk: "They're all Fruit XVI Plus."

Xiao Zhan waved his hand.

Shen Jun took the young novice monk out.

After a while

Shen Jun walked in with five technicians.

One of them asked, "Young Master Xiao, shall we begin work now?"

Xiao Zhan: "Wait a moment, give me a pair of gloves."

The man handed Xiao Zhan a pair of sterile gloves.

Xiao Zhan put on gloves, squatted down, and felt under Sanmu Dan's monk's robe. Then he said to the three technicians, "You can begin the on-site investigation."

"It's Young Master Xiao!"

Xiao Zhan said to Shen Jun, "Go and call that abbot here, and tell that steward not to wander around. I'll question him later."

Shen Jun: "Yes."

Then he turned and walked out.

"Clatter."

Xiao Zhan walked to the door of the room, lit a cigarette, looked at the entrance of the courtyard, and saw the abbot follow Shen Jun in. He then said to Shen Jun, "Go and bring out two chairs and put them in the middle of the courtyard. The abbot and I will chat in the courtyard."

"yes!"

Shen Jun moved two chairs and placed them in the middle of the courtyard.

at this time,

The warm winter sun shone brightly on the courtyard in the afternoon, and the warm sunlight felt so comfortable on my skin.

Xiao Zhan: "Master Abbot, please have a seat."

The abbot seemed a little distracted and said, "Amitabha, comrade, please speak your mind."

Xiao Zhan: "Alright, Abbot, let me ask you, are you coming in alone or with the steward?"

The abbot blinked and said cautiously, "Amitabha, I came in with the steward."

Xiao Zhan: "Which of you two touched Sanmu Dan's corpse?"

The abbot's expression changed slightly, his eyes darting around, and he said, "Amitabha, we did not touch Sanmu Dan's corpse."

Xiao Zhan's eyes narrowed, and a murderous aura suddenly burst forth as he shouted sharply, "Master, you are lying."

The abbot immediately panicked and said, "Comrade, I'm not lying. I really didn't touch the corpse."

The abbot was in such a hurry that he forgot to say Amitabha.

Xiao Zhan's gaze turned cold, then he whispered a few words to Shen Jun.

Shen Jun nodded and strode out of the courtyard.

At this moment, Xia Keke and Zhang Guoqiang walked in...

Xia Keke said somewhat dejectedly, "Those damned Liu Shiyuan and Miki Hongfu got away, but we killed or wounded more than twenty of his men, which is still a small victory. Half of these men were low- and mid-level ninjas, and the other half were Chinese."

Xiao Zhan: "It doesn't matter how many casualties the enemy suffers, but what about our own?"

Zhang Guoqiang replied, "Reporting to Young Master Xiao, we have five lightly wounded and two seriously wounded, with no casualties. It can be said to be a complete victory."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Not bad, I can accept this result."

Xia Keke glanced at the abbot and asked Xiao Zhan, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Zhan grinned and said, "I'm looking for a traitor!"

Upon hearing this, the abbot's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Comrade, you've wronged me. I've never even met that Mr. Liu. How could I be a traitor? Besides, Sanmu Dan never lets us into his private courtyard."

Xiao Zhan said sarcastically, "Oh, so this is your first time stepping into a courtyard?"

Supervisor: "Yes."

Xiao Zhan: "After you and the steward came in, did you two separate? That is to say, did you ever leave each other's sight?"

The abbot thought for a moment and said, "When I came in and saw the abbot lying on the ground dead, I immediately vomited. The steward told me to go to the bathroom to vomit, so I went to the bathroom, vomited, washed my face, and then came out."

Xiao Zhan: "So, when you were in the bathroom, the steward was alone with the corpse."

Supervisor: "Yes."

suddenly,

"Bang!"

The courtyard gate was pushed open forcefully.

Then Shen Jun walked in, dragging someone by the arm, and said, "Instructor, just as you predicted, this guy is sneaking around trying to run away."

"Clang!"

Shen Jun shoved the man down in front of Xiao Zhan.

"Ouch."

The man cried out in surprise and fell to the ground.

The abbot asked in surprise, "Steward, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Zhan said coldly, "Deacon, will you confess voluntarily or after I beat you until you can't take care of yourself?"

The deacon stood up, blinked his triangular eyes, and said, "Comrade, what do you want me to explain? I was inexplicably arrested here by this comrade. I'm like a scholar encountering a soldier—I can't reason with him."

Xiao Zhan: "So you're saying I wronged you? I won't beat around the bush anymore, where did you hide Sanmu Dan's phone?"

The deacon's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

The abbot was also surprised and said, "You stole the abbot's phone. No wonder you said we couldn't touch anything at the scene when I said we had found the abbot's phone. So you were hiding something all along."

Xia Keke asked curiously, "What's on Sanmu Dan's phone?"

Supervisor: "Our Yonghe Temple usually keeps a running account of all its daily activities, as well as the phone numbers of major worshippers, on the abbot's mobile phone."

Xiao Zhan smirked and said, "There's more than that, isn't there?"

"As far as I know, Sanmu Dan has multiple accounts in several foreign banks, and there is a lot of money in them."

The abbot exclaimed in surprise, "Money deposited in a foreign bank account? How come I didn't know about this?"

Then he looked at the deacon and asked, "Are you aware of this?"

The steward glanced at Xiao Zhan and Xia Keke, then nodded and said without daring to hide anything, "I know about this."

Xiao Zhan held out his hand and said, "Bring out Sanmu Dan's phone."

The steward, not daring to be negligent, immediately took out a cell phone from his person and handed it to Xiao Zhan, saying, "This is Sanmu Dan's cell phone."

Xiao Zhan took the phone and then reached out, asking, "Anything else?"

Deacon: "That's all."

Xiao Zhan shouted sternly, "Do you want to die?"

The deacon shuddered in fright, gritted his teeth, and reluctantly handed another cell phone to Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan took the phone, glanced at it, and suddenly kicked the steward several meters away.

"Clang!"

The deacon fell heavily to the ground, wincing in pain and yelling, "It hurts so much!"

Xiao Zhan cursed angrily, "You son of a bitch, you're asking for death! You dare to switch the beams and pillars like that!"
