Chapter 18 I can’t think of the title, so I’ll just make do with it!

Li You took Shangguan Zisu and looked around in other places, including the cafeteria, monks' dormitories, and various wing rooms, but found no trace.

Even the well in the backyard, Li You went to check it.

But no trace of Zhang Ren or any clues to the treasure map were found.

"Okay, stop looking! It seems that we really need to talk to that old monk again." Li You felt a little dissatisfied, and turned around to find the host again to try to trouble him.

"Hey, don't walk so fast, wait for me!" Shangguan Zisu hurriedly followed.

When the two came to a fork in the road, they happened to see Huang Sanpao and Li Zhi coming towards them.

"How's your investigation going?" Li You asked them.

"There is nothing wrong with Zhang Ren's room. Later, Sanpao and I took Satsuma to the ancient pagoda. This ancient pagoda only has five floors." Li Zhi said about the information they investigated.

"Five floors? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible." Li You absolutely did not believe that this ancient pagoda only had five floors.

"When we flew up to the top floor last night, the minimum height should be seven floors. How could it be only five floors?"

"Your words are going to burn out my CPU."

"What?" Li Zhi was a little confused and didn't understand what Li You's last sentence meant.

"Oh, don't worry about it!" Li You waved his hand to tell him not to care so much.

"It's absolutely impossible to have only five floors. If you find that there are only five floors, there must be a hidden building."

"There is indeed a secret building!" Li Zhi nodded and said:

"There is a secret room between the fourth and fifth floors, right in the middle of the stairs."

"It was too late last night and there was only one candle, so we didn't see clearly. Today we went to check carefully and found out that there is such a secret door."

Li You: "What about Satsuma? Didn't the three of you go to the ancient pagoda together? Why are you the only two here now?"

"Satsuma took Futaba to the main hall." Li Zhi replied:

"I don't know what he wants to do. He came back from the main hall today. The two of us he met on the way followed us to the ancient pagoda, and then went to find Futaba again after coming down."

"Ha! This kid is one step ahead of me again." Li You recalled the smell he smelled in the hall today, and then thought of Samodoro's actions, and it suddenly became clear.

"What do you mean?" Li Zhi asked with some confusion.

"There must be something fishy about that hall." Li You said:

"I smelled a little smell in that hall today. The smell was very light, and I smelled it by accident."

"Samodoro has been wandering around the world for many years. The people around him taught him various rules for surviving in the world since he was a child. They also cultivated many special skills in him, and distinguishing flavors is naturally one of them."

"His nose is almost as good as that of a Tibetan Mastiff."

"Presumably he also discovered some clues, so he asked Futaba to go and have a look together."

"Let's go over and have a look!"

"Okay!" Li Zhi nodded.

The four of them walked quickly towards the main hall.

As they walked, they shared clues.

Li Zhi: "We just got a piece of news. Xie Rui told us that Zhang Ren is in the antique calligraphy and painting business. He heard from somewhere that there was a treasure map of the previous dynasty in the temple, so he pretended to stay overnight, but actually stole the map. As a result,

But there was no trace.”

"Who will spread this matter?" Li You frowned slightly, and he extracted some different information from this sentence.

"We know this news because my father sent people from the Procuratorate to investigate. But how could a common man like Zhang Ren know about such a big thing?"

"Even if he is in the antique business and runs this business every day, it is impossible for him to know about things that are strictly prohibited by the government."

"Either someone leaked it between you and me, or there is a problem within the prosecutor's office."

"You doubt me?" Li Zhi was slightly stunned.

"I'm not doubting you, I'm just highlighting the possibility." Li You explained:

"I believe it's not between the two of us, so there must be something wrong with the procuratorate."

"It seems that after this matter is over, I have to talk to my father about this matter when I return to Chang'an."

"Someone is trying to get their hands on these treasures. This is challenging the majesty of the royal family and the majesty of our Tang Dynasty. And if pests have entered an organization like ours, it is also a big deal."

"Okay! If you need help then, let me know." Li Zhi replied.

"Yeah!" Li You nodded.

Although several people were communicating, their steps did not stop at all.

Basically after saying this, we arrived outside the main hall of the temple.

They could just see Samodoro and Tan Shuangye sitting on the steps, seeming to be chatting about something.

Li You and the others stepped forward, and Li Zhi took the first step and asked:

"But what was found?"

"Yeah!" Samodoro nodded with a smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, and even glanced at Li You, as if he was showing off.

Okay! I know you are faster than me this time." Li You shook his head helplessly, but he also wanted to laugh in his heart. It is not easy for this guy to maintain his youthful temperament after experiencing so many things since childhood!

"We have seen the clues, but it's still a little inconvenient for Futaba and I to be alone without you." Samodoro stood up and turned to face the main hall in front of him.

"Then go in! It's time for these things to be resolved," Li You said.

"Okay!" Samodoro responded, and they walked into the hall together.

As soon as I entered, I saw the abbot kneeling there to worship the Buddha, with his eyes closed and muttering Buddhist scriptures, looking very pious.

Li You patted Samodoro on the shoulder and signaled him to start performing.

Samodoro smiled and took two steps forward and said to the abbot:

"Abbott! You are here to worship the Buddha, but you don't have a Buddha in your heart, so what's the point?"

"With corpses hidden in this hall, does it really count as a Buddhist temple?"

"What are you talking about?" The monk who was sweeping the floor rushed up quickly and asked angrily:

"Donor, how can you talk nonsense? This is a Buddhist palace, where the great compassionate Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is enshrined. Is this a place where you can talk nonsense? Please leave quickly!"

The abbot was still mumbling words, but his eyes were opened.

Li You put his hand on the saber at his waist, walked forward in two steps and came to behind Samodoro.

Samodoro suddenly gained confidence, straightened his shoulders and said again:

"What does this young master mean? We are officials of Dali Temple. If we say this, we have found a clue."

"We can't possibly wrong you for no reason!"

"Then please ask this official to come up with evidence, otherwise today's matter will be difficult to resolve." The monk shook his hands, and the broom in his hand suddenly broke at the head, and a complete wooden stick appeared in his hand.

"It is better for a monk to be in a calm mood." Samodoro did not give up at all. He turned to face Shuangye and smiled. The two of them seemed to have a clear understanding of each other. Tan Shuangye also nodded quickly.
Chapter completed!
