Gu Qingyi was indeed desperate for a solution, but she certainly couldn't admit it.
"I, I am not just making this up, the Old Beggar was clearly dead outside and was carried back by someone else, that's why we didn't find any signs of a fight in the temple."
"I have already figured it out, from where he slept, he sneaked here avoiding most people's sight, and then climbed out through the hole in the roof along this wooden pillar."
"But why would the Old Beggar want to go out?" asked the skinny, tall disciple again.
Gu Qingyi hadn't figured out this question either, but given the circumstances, she had to continue reasoning along this line.
"That is... That is to meet up with his accomplice outside the temple," she said.
"Accomplice? You mean the Old Beggar was an accomplice of the murderer? Then why did he die here?"
Shen Zhou, who had been quiet, couldn't help but interject.
