Chapter 704 Decision to tell the truth(2/2)

"It feels so good." Ouyang Linlin said softly.

Xi Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the atmosphere here makes people feel calm and peaceful."

Song Shuwen also echoed: "The buildings here are so exquisite and amazing."

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu and Song Shuwen and said, "Let's continue to stroll around the temple, maybe we can find some interesting things."

Xi Yu and Song Shuwen nodded one after another, expressing their agreement.

So, the three of them walked in the temple together, admiring the ancient buildings and precious cultural relics, and feeling the history and culture contained in this temple.

"The abbot was killed! The abbot was killed!" Suddenly, a scream rang out in the yard.

Many monks were stunned when they heard this news, with an incredible expression on their faces. Some monks covered their mouths with their hands and widened their eyes; some monks were full of horror and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

The yard was suddenly in chaos, and the monks ran around in panic, and the whole scene became chaotic.

At this time, some monks quickly came to Xi Yu and others. They looked serious and stared at Xi Yu and others tightly, and asked, "Who are you? Does the death of the abbot have something to do with you?"

A helplessness surged in Xi Yu's heart. He frowned and replied calmly: "My masters, we are just ordinary guests and have nothing to do with the death of the abbot." His voice was calm and firm, and his eyes revealed sincerity.

Ouyang Linlin beside Xi Yu's side had a pale face. She grabbed Xi Yu's arm tightly and said with a trembling voice: "We really don't know anything. We are just visiting the temple." Her eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness.

Song Shuwen was silent on the side, his brows frowned, and he was thinking about the situation in front of him in his heart.

The monks looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion.

Several monks looked cold and said firmly: "You are suspicious. All pilgrims are suspicious today, so they must be arrested."

When Xiaohong heard this, her face turned red with anger. She widened her eyes and said angrily: "How can you wrongly accuse others?" Her voice was filled with anger and grievance.

Xi Yu quickly comforted: "Xiaohong, don't be angry, let's cooperate with the investigation next." His tone was calm, trying to calm Xiaohong down.

So they obediently followed several monks to leave.

The monks took Xi Yu and others to a wing room and put them under house arrest.

Xi Yu looked around and thought about a solution in his heart.

Xiaohong was still angry and kept complaining: "How could they catch people casually like this? We are so unlucky!"

Song Shuwen patted Xiaohong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will find a way to prove our innocence."

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and Xi Yu and others immediately calmed down.

The door was pushed open, and a monk walked in. He looked at Xi Yu and others and said slowly: "The temple has sent someone to investigate this matter. You can stay here before the results come out." After that, he turned around and left.

Xiaohong stared at Xi Yu and complained with dissatisfaction: "Prime Minister, you are so kind-hearted! We clearly did nothing, why should we cooperate with the investigation?"

Her brows were frowning tightly, her lips were slightly pouting, and her face was filled with resentment.

Ouyang Linlin hurriedly pulled Xiaohong's sleeve and said softly: "Xiaohong, don't contradict the Prime Minister!"

A hint of worry was revealed in her eyes, and her hands were trembling slightly.

Xi Yu looked at Xiaohong, sighed helplessly, and said, "Xiaohong, things have come to this point, let's cooperate with the investigation first." His voice was calm and gentle, with firmness in his eyes.

Xiaohong snorted, turned her head away, and stopped talking.

Ouyang Linlin patted Xiaohong on the shoulder and comforted her: "Okay, Xiaohong, don't be angry. We believe that things will always come to light." A gentle smile appeared on her face.

Xiaohong was still angry, and she muttered: "This is too unfair. It's really unlucky for us to be under house arrest here!"

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly, held Xiaohong's hand, and said softly: "Xiaohong, don't be so impulsive. We must believe that your husband will handle this matter fairly."

Xiaohong bit her lip and stopped talking, but her eyes were still full of dissatisfaction and grievance.

At this moment, the room fell into silence, and the three of them were thinking about their own thoughts.

After a while, several monks walked into the room, put the vegetarian rice and water on the table, and then said apologetically: "I have to do this, I hope you can understand."

Xiaohong's mood eased a little, but she was still a little angry. She pouted and muttered: "Hmph, even if you have no choice, you can't lock us up like this!"

Xi Yu nodded quickly and responded: "We understand the difficulties of the masters, but this incident has indeed caused us a lot of trouble." His tone was sincere, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

Ouyang Linlin also echoed on the side: "Yes, masters, don't worry, we will cooperate with the investigation." A smile appeared on her face, trying to relax everyone.

Seeing this, the monks gathered together to express their gratitude.

Xi Yu smiled and called everyone to come and eat, his voice was gentle and kind.

Song Shuwen smiled and nodded, sat down slowly, and whispered: "I am old and have bad teeth, so I can only eat some soft food." There was a hint of helplessness on his face.

Xiaohong was a little angry at first, but when she saw the delicious food on the table, her eyes suddenly lit up. She said excitedly: "Wow, these foods look delicious!" The anger on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by joy and satisfaction.
