Chapter 867 Using a Dog to Help
Xiaohong was also angry and her eyes were red. She bit her lip and said, "That's right, you keep saying you want to find out, but you are making groundless suspicions here. It's so unreasonable!"
Luo Xiaoyu told Xiaohong not to talk nonsense. Since she has been wronged, she should complain to the two Taoist priests Qingfeng and Mingyue now.
This time Xiao Hong did not object, but nodded.
Luo Xiaoyu pursed her lips tightly, her eyes full of stubbornness and grievance. She took Xiaohong's hand and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, I suddenly heard noisy footsteps behind me.
When a Taoist priest saw Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, he immediately shouted loudly: "Stop! Where do you two want to go?"
Luo Xiaoyu met the other party's gaze without fear and said loudly: "We are going to see Taoist Qingfeng and Mingyue to explain the matter clearly and restore our innocence!"
The Taoist priest sneered and said, "You want to see the two Taoist priests? Stop wishing. You don't want to go anywhere until the matter is cleared up!"
Xiaohong's body trembled slightly. She approached Luo Xiaoyu uneasily and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, what should we do? They don't seem to let us go."
Luo Xiaoyu raised her voice and said: "Why do you restrict our freedom? We are obviously wronged, but you are here to stop us in every possible way. Is there any justice here?"
At this moment, Guang Lingzi walked in, glanced at the tense people at the scene, and asked, "What happened?"
After understanding the situation, he said seriously: "Although Luo Xiaoyu and two are suspected, we cannot be rude to them before there is conclusive evidence."
At the same time, he glared at the Taoist priests fiercely, feeling secretly annoyed and thinking, must they make the matter bigger?
Guang Lingzi's words were so powerful that everyone present fell silent instantly.
The Taoist priests who had been so aggressive just now lowered their heads slightly under Guang Lingzi's gaze and did not dare to say any more words.
The grievances in Luo Xiaoyu's heart surged like a tide, her eyes turned red, and she said: "Senior Guang Lingzi, Xiaohong and I have always been responsible for our duties, but for some reason we were suddenly accused of such a crime. We just want to find out the real culprit, and what's wrong with us?" I am innocent, and I hope my seniors can see clearly.”
After saying that, he bowed deeply towards Guang Lingzi.
Xiaohong also said: "Senior, we are really unjust."
Guang Lingzi nodded solemnly, scanning everyone's faces one by one, and then said loudly: "Since this matter has happened, our sect will definitely investigate it thoroughly. Before that, no one is allowed to speculate or make things difficult. Miss Luo and Xiaohong.”
After saying that, he looked at the Taoist priests who were the first to attack, and said in a more serious tone: "If someone causes trouble indiscriminately again, don't blame me for dealing with it according to the sect's rules!"
Just as everyone was talking to each other, a little Taoist boy walked in hastily.
He was wearing a neat Taoist robe, his face was slightly red from the rush, and there were beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.
After walking in, he first bowed politely to Guang Lingzi and other elders, then straightened up and said loudly: "Seniors and fellow disciples, Master Qingfeng and Master Mingyue have given orders for everyone to finish eating. After dinner, everyone gathered in the main hall, and Miss Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong also went together. "
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong were startled when they heard their names.
A trace of panic flashed in Xiaohong's eyes, and she subconsciously grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's hand, her voice trembling.
"Xiaoyu, what should we do? They suddenly asked us to go to the main hall. Could it be..."
Luo Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and comforted her with firm eyes: "Don't panic, Xiaohong. We didn't do anything wrong, so don't be afraid. You'll know what they are going to do if we go there."
Even so, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, not knowing what was waiting for them.
The surrounding Taoist priests also stopped arguing, with various complicated expressions on their faces, some thoughtful, others full of confusion.
Guang Lingzi frowned slightly, stepped forward and asked the little Taoist boy: "Do you know why the two Taoist priests gathered everyone?"
The little Taoist boy shook his head and replied respectfully: "Disciple, I don't know. The two Taoist priests only asked me to convey the instructions as soon as possible and let everyone gather in the main hall on time."
Guang Lingzi nodded and waved his hand for the little Taoist boy to retreat.
Then, he looked at Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong, and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, you two, and go to the main hall with everyone first. I believe the two Taoist priests will give everyone an explanation."
Luo Xiaoyu and Xiaohong looked at each other, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Afterwards, everyone dispersed and prepared to go to the main hall.
In the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Taoist Master Qingfeng stood in front, and after slowly scanning the crowd, he said calmly: "Everyone, please find a seat and sit down. Today, we must get to the bottom of the matter. Before that, No one is allowed to get up and leave.”
After hearing this, everyone followed the instructions and found a seat to sit down. For a while, there was only the sound of the slight rubbing of clothes and the occasional low cough in the hall.
Luo Xiaoyu frowned and couldn't help but complain.
"Taoist Priest, I am still regarded as the thief who stole things, but I have never done anything like this. I hope you can be more generous and don't let me end up here too." His His eyes were red, and his face looked aggrieved and unwilling.
Taoist Master Qingfeng sighed slightly, with a bit of helplessness on his face, and nodded and said: "This is also a routine matter. Anyone who is on Kunlun Mountain must come here. After all, the impact of this matter is not small, I hope you can do more I understand, and when the truth is found out, I will naturally clear your name.”
Luo Xiaoyu bit her lip. Although she was full of reluctance, she also knew that it would be useless to talk more at this moment. She could only hold Xiaohong's hand and find a seat in the corner to sit down.
Xiaohong comforted her in a low voice: "Brother Xiaoyu, the Taoist priest said that he would find out the truth, so let's wait for now."
Luo Xiaoyu nodded slightly, but there was still a hint of stubbornness and resentment in his eyes. He stared straight ahead, hoping in his heart that this so-called investigation would end soon so that he could get justice.
At this time, Taoist Master Mingyue coughed lightly and slowly said: "Let's get started. Everyone, think carefully. Did you see any strange people or strange things at the time of the crime? Tell the truth. ”
After that, he looked at everyone with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to find some clues from everyone's expressions.
Just half an hour ago, Qingfeng and Mingyue were discussing this difficult case in a quiet side hall.
Mingyue frowned slightly, as if lost in memories, and slowly said: "When I was alone with the Prime Minister before, the Prime Minister once told a rather novel story. It was said that a dog was used to help solve a case somewhere. Just because the dog’s nose is extremely sensitive, it can smell traces that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.”
When Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised, his eyes full of amazement, and said: "There is such a method? I have never heard of it."
Mingyue nodded lightly and continued: "Yes, I also found it novel at the time. Now that our case is at a deadlock, it is difficult to find a clue for a while, so why not follow suit and try this method? Maybe it can work. Something has been gained.”
Qingfeng stroked his beard and pondered slightly, then said after a moment: "Well, I might as well give it a try, but I don't know where to find the right dog. Furthermore, there is no conclusion yet on whether this method will work."
There was a trace of determination in Mingyue's eyes as she said, "Let's not worry about it for now. Although we don't have dogs specifically used to solve cases in Kunlun Mountain, we can still find a few hounds that are usually smart and have a good sense of smell. Wan If we can really find some clues through this, then this case will hopefully be solved.”
Qingfeng thought about it and felt that it made some sense, so he responded: "Well, it will be as you said. You can make arrangements and find those hounds as soon as possible, so that we can know the truth behind this case as soon as possible. What’s the truth?”
After the two people agreed on the matter, they summoned everyone to the main hall and prepared to use this novel method to investigate the case.
At this moment, everyone gathered in the main hall and still had no idea what Qingfeng and Mingyue were thinking.
Taoist Priest Mingyue looked at the people in the hall, cleared his throat and said, "We are going to use a special method to investigate this case today, and we hope that you will cooperate."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other, full of curiosity and doubt, not knowing what this special method was.
Taoist Priest Mingyue stood in front of the hall, and with a serious look on his face, he told the Prime Minister that dogs could help people handle cases, and then stated that they were going to bring dogs in to assist in the investigation.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall seemed to explode instantly. Everyone looked surprised and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"It's unheard of that there is such a way to solve the case." A young disciple couldn't help but muttered in a low voice. As he spoke, he stretched his neck curiously and looked around, as if he wanted to see if the dog had been led here at the moment.

Several Taoist priests nearby also exchanged doubtful looks with each other and discussed softly: "Is this... reliable? Dogs are just animals after all. Can they really help us find clues?"
Luo Xiaoyu also had a face full of surprise. He frowned and looked at Taoist Priest Qingfeng and Mingyue, thinking to himself that these two Taoist Priests must have been ill and sought medical treatment. However, it was not easy to say anything at the moment. He could only wait and see what happened.
Xiaohong grabbed Luo Xiaoyu's clothes tightly and said timidly: "Brother Xiaoyu, this method looks so novel, I don't know if it will work."
The crowd's discussions were coming and going, echoing in the hall. Everyone was full of curiosity and suspicion about this unprecedented investigation method. Their eyes were focused on Qingfeng and Mingyue, waiting to see what they would do next. How to behave.
Seeing this, Taoist Master Qingfeng raised his hand and pressed it slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said loudly: "Don't make any noise, everyone. Although this method is novel, it is worth trying. I hope everyone will wait patiently for the time being until the dog comes. Everything will be revealed.”
At this time, Luo Xiaoyu stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Fellow Taoist priests, although I don't know whether this method is effective, I believe in the Prime Minister! Although I have been in contact with the Prime Minister for a long time, Not long, But based on my understanding of him, the Prime Minister must be a man of great wisdom and wisdom, and the method he said must be reasonable. I just hope that I can use this method to find out the truth quickly, so that there will be no wrongful people here. !”
As Luo Xiaoyu spoke, his eyes were as bright as lightning, and he stared back without fear at those Taoist priests who had cast unfriendly glances at him. His eyes were full of stubbornness and resentment, as if he was protesting silently to them. I have been wronged, and I will never allow them to be so wantonly suspicious and malicious.
Everyone was shocked by Luo Xiaoyu's sudden words and tough attitude. The hall became quite quiet for a while. Those who were still muttering in low voices and doubting Luo Xiaoyu also lowered their heads slightly. , avoiding his gaze, not knowing how to respond.
Taoist Master Qingfeng coughed lightly, breaking the brief silence. He looked at Luo Xiaoyu, nodded slightly and said: "Luo Xiaoyu, please sit down first. We can understand your mood. This method is used today just for I want to give everyone justice as soon as possible and find out the truth. Don’t be impatient and just wait patiently.”
Luo Xiaoyu took a deep breath, bowed his hands to Taoist Master Qingfeng, and then slowly sat down. However, his clenched fists still showed the unwillingness and eagerness in his heart. He was really eager to be washed away as soon as possible. This is an unjust injustice on my part.
Taoist Master Qingfeng stood up, waved his hands to everyone, and said calmly: "Everyone, wait here for a moment. I will go and get the dog. This dog was specially found from the bottom of the mountain. It was in my room before. It has been here for a while, let it get familiar with our environment. "
After saying that, Taoist Master Qingfeng turned around and walked quickly out of the hall.
Everyone was full of curiosity and expectation, staring at the door of the hall, quietly guessing what the dog looked like. Could it really help to find out the case?
After a while, a slight ringing of bells came, and then Taoist Master Qingfeng slowly walked into the hall with a dog.
The dog has a strong body shape, its fur is shiny and smooth, its eyes are full of intelligence, and its nose is constantly sniffing the surrounding scent. It is being led by Taoist Master Qingfeng with a rope, but it does not appear to be panic, but instead exudes a sense of calmness. Jin'er, just looking around, as if eager to start looking for clues.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and everyone fell silent, staring at the dog intently, wanting to see how it would assist in the investigation.
Taoist Master Qingfeng followed Mingyue's instructions and patted the dog beside him on the head, then loosened the rope in his hand and whispered: "Go, go among the crowd and smell everyone's scent."
After saying that, he quickly raised his voice and shouted to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone. This dog is just acting according to our arrangements and will not hurt you. We hope that everyone will cooperate and keep quiet."
After everyone heard this, although they were still a little uneasy, they all forced themselves to calm down and stood there without daring to move, staring closely at the dog.
The dog first turned around in circles a few times, as if trying to identify the direction, and then walked slowly toward the crowd with brisk steps.
Its nose kept twitching as it shuttled around people one by one, sniffing the scent emanating from everyone. It looked very focused, as if it was really shouldering a major mission to find out something with its keen sense of smell. Key clues come.
Luo Xiaoyu stood in the crowd, looking at the investigation scene that she had never seen before. She was nervous and expectant in her heart. She secretly wondered if the dog could find something based on the smell to prove her innocence.
Xiaohong subconsciously hid behind Luo Xiaoyu, her palms were sweating, and she didn't dare to take a breath for fear of disturbing the busy dog.
After a while, the dog suddenly started barking wildly in front of a little Taoist boy. The bark echoed in the hall, which was particularly harsh.
The little Taoist boy was so frightened that he trembled all over and his face turned pale. He subconsciously took a few steps back and shouted at the dog with his eyes wide open: "Beast, what is your name?"
At this moment, Taoist Master Qingfeng's face darkened, he looked sharply at the little Taoist boy, and asked seriously: "Wuji, did you steal it? This dog has always been sensitive, and its reaction must have come from you. I smell something strange on my body.”
When the little Taoist boy named Wuji heard this, he panicked and quickly waved his hands and explained: "Taoist Master, this is unfair! How could I do such a thing? I don't know why this dog barked at me. I He is really innocent!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red, his face full of grievance and anxiety, and his eyes looked at Taoist Master Qingfeng full of prayers, hoping that the Taoist Master would believe him.
When everyone heard this, they were all in an uproar. They all looked at the little Taoist boy Wuji. Some looked surprised, while others looked suspicious and whispered among themselves.
Luo Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, wondering if his grievances could finally be cleared away? He looked at the little Taoist boy Wuji, wondering in his heart whether it was him who did this.
Xiaohong tugged on Luo Xiaoyu's sleeve and whispered: "Brother Xiaoyu, it seems that this dog is really capable, but this little Taoist boy doesn't look like someone who can steal things. I don't know what happened." Something happened.”
Taoist Master Qingfeng frowned, took a few steps closer to the little Taoist boy Wuji, and continued: "Wuji, don't make excuses. Please tell me where you were when the crime occurred and what you did?"
When Wuji heard this, his face turned red with anxiety, and he said loudly: "Taoist Master, it is ridiculous to use this method to investigate the case! How can you conclude that I am a thief just because a dog barks at me? What? Not to mention that I have never done anything like this, even the senior brothers around me think this method is really unreliable. "
As he said that, he looked at the senior brothers around him, his eyes full of help.
After hearing Wuji's words, the senior brothers looked at each other for a few times and nodded in agreement.
An older brother stood up and said, "Master Qingfeng, Junior Brother Wuji has always been kind. We have been with him for a long time and know him well. He would never do such a theft. This dog's method of investigating the case is really unheard of. It is hard to convince everyone that Junior Brother Wuji is suspected so easily." (End of this chapter)
