Chapter 16: Sand and Gravel
Qingfeng Dao Chang was indeed waiting at the door, and when he saw Ji Tianci walking out, his expression was not very good, this was the first time he had seen his son like this, and a trace of unhappiness rose in his heart.
He could imagine that the police would not believe him and question him, but he didn't know what the police had asked him. When I made my own notes, it was very simple, and I just told the story again and then it was over.
Ji Tianci walked up to Qingfeng Dao Chief, the two didn't say a word, they just glanced at each other, but their eyes were full of concern.
They didn't speak because Yan Tianming was also standing behind Ji Tianci.
"Two Dao Masters, today is really delaying your time, thank you for your cooperation, I will let someone send you back. ”
Yan Tianming still felt guilty about them, and he began to waver a little bit in his heart, thinking that these two people were really good people, so he waved to a car not far away after he finished speaking.
"Dad, I want to go back. Ji Tianci whispered.
Qingfeng Dao Chang didn't hesitate, and said directly to Yan Tianming, who was full of surprise: "We're used to walking, let's go back, don't bother Officer Yan." ”
"It's more than 70 kilometers from here to Jinniu Mountain! It won't take much trouble for us to send you back, so you're welcome. Yan Tianming thought they were polite.
"Let's go back!" Ji Tianci looked at Yan Tianming in a resolute tone.
Yan Tianming's heart jumped, and the god made the ghost say a word: "Okay, okay, then go back." ”
Qingfeng Daoist and Ji Tianci didn't say anything more, and turned around and walked directly towards the gate.
"Wait a minute!"
A voice came, Ji Tianci frowned, this was Lin Weiting's voice.
Qingfeng Dao Chang and Ji Tianci both turned around again, and Lin Weiting ran over panting.
"Can you... Leave a call?"
Lin Weiting's face was slightly red, and she didn't know if it was because of strenuous exercise or because of embarrassment.
Qingfeng Dao Chief was a little confused, and the policewoman used the word "can't" instead of directly asking for contact information. And she seems to be looking for contact information, not from her own elders.
Lin Weiting seemed to see Qingfeng Dao Chang's confusion, and she hurriedly explained: "Dao Chang, I want to call either because of this case, or because I found that the two of you have special skills, and I want to consult you if I encounter a difficult case in the future." ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang let out an "oh" and immediately understood, but before he could reply, Ji Tianci grabbed a sentence first.
"I don't have a phone. ”
Lin Weiting paused for a moment and continued to look at Ji Tianci: "Your father's is fine." ”
"Neither did my father. Ji Tianci's answer was tepid.
"Huh?" Lin Weiting was surprised, now even elementary school students in the city carry mobile phones, but these two people don't have them.
She turned her head to look at Qingfeng Dao Chief, her eyes full of questions. Who knew that Qingfeng Dao nodded: "Yes, we don't even have a landline." ”
Lin Weiting is very good at discerning whether people are lying, she involuntarily observed Qingfeng Dao Chief, found that he really didn't lie, and couldn't help asking: "Why?"
This "why" is to ask them why the father and son don't have a phone.
Qingfeng Dao Chang said with an embarrassed face: "I don't have money to buy it." ”
Lin Weiting was taken aback, and instantly sympathized with these two people, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"There is a small store next door to our Taoist temple, the owner's surname is Huang, you can call his phone number to contact us. ”
Lin Weiting took out her mobile phone and quickly wrote down a string of numbers from Qingfeng Dao Chief.
After speaking, Qingfeng Dao Chang took Ji Tianci and continued to walk outside. They walked quickly, and disappeared at the gate of the Public Security Bureau in a moment.
"Heh, Dr. Lin, how do you say the report of this case should be written?" Yan Tianming sighed helplessly.
"Team Yan, sign my name on this case, just write that someone in the town reported the case, suspecting that He Lingxiu was murdered, and after we investigated and collected evidence, it was confirmed that her husband killed her. ”
Lin Weiting endured it for a moment and continued: "When it was written that the two Taoist elders were doing things, they felt that He Lingxiu's body was a little abnormal, so the He family called the police. ”
Yan Tianming's eyes lit up, writing like this is not a lie, not to mention that there is also Dr. Lin's signature, and he doesn't have to take the risk by himself when he traces it up, after all, Dr. Lin is a person in the state hall, although the rank is the same, but her function is greater.
"Dr. Lin, you've done me a great favor, I'm going to have to treat you to a good meal at noon. ”
"No, I still have to rush back to the hall, there are still some urgent things to deal with in the hall, I'm afraid I will have to eat this lunch on the way. ”
When Yan Tianming heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then let's hurry in and sort out the materials, don't delay the time." ”
As a police officer, he understands that there is actually no rest time in this job, especially for criminal police, there is no holiday until the case is over, and when the case is over, the case report must be written clearly. Dr. Lin said that he was in a hurry, and he should have encountered a difficult case, and he knew this mood, the case was not solved, he could not eat, and he could not sleep, so he did not want to delay Dr. Lin too much.
Lin Weiting took a deep look at the direction of the door, then turned around and walked quickly into the building.
***
On the road of Duyan City, two "masters" wearing Taoist robes walked fast, pedestrians on the street looked sideways, the cold wind blew their sleeves, they all had half of their arms exposed, and there were no other clothes inside.
"Dad, why did you say the police lied to me?"
"She's not lying to you, she's lying to you. ”
"Lie to me, why do you want to lie to me?"
Qingfeng Dao let out a long breath, and looked at Ji Tianci's eyes full of pity: "The world is full of deceit, and the trust between people is becoming more and more fragile. Child, you are too special to understand them, and they naturally don't believe you. ”
"Then what should I do?" Ji Tianci slowed down and looked at Qingfeng Dao Chief.
After a long time, Qingfeng Dao Chang said: "See through it and don't say it." ”
"Do you see through it or not?"
"Well, some people see through the mortal dust because they have been in the mortal dust, how can they understand the mortal dust if they don't enter the mortal dust, and how can they see through the mortal dust, and if they want to enter the mortal dust, they must also become mortal dust. You were born extraordinary, and if you want to become mortal, you can only see through it without saying it, and disguise yourself."
Ji Tianci fell into deep thought, neither father nor son spoke again, the frequency of their steps was not fast, but each step was very light, and the steps were much larger than ordinary people.
Half an hour later, the two had already walked out of the city and onto the path next to the national highway.
"Dad, I figured it out. A stone in the sand can never melt into the sand, only when the stone becomes sand can it truly blend into it.
Qingfeng Dao Leader nodded, and Ji Tianci continued to ask, "But, why do I have to enter the mortal world?"
"Thou hast been born in the earth, and thou hast been a stone in the sand, and thou hast not entered or not, none of these things shall thou shalt be upon thy thou. Whether you want to become sand or gold and stone depends on your own cultivation. ”
……
The two chatted without a word, and Qingfeng Dao's words often made Ji Tianci think for a long time.
In winter, it gets dark quickly, and the two of them follow the national highway until it gets dark, and when they reach the foot of Jinniu Mountain, it is already time for people to have dinner.
There was a car parked at the foot of the mountain, the same one that had picked them up in the early hours of the morning to take them to Puhe Town.
Qingfeng Daochang and Ji Tianci looked in through the car glass, and Wang Pei and He Jianguo both fell asleep on the car seats.
Qingfeng Dao Chang thought about it for a while, but still knocked on the car glass.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
He Jianguo and Wang Pei immediately sat up straight, opened their eyes and looked out, and when they saw clearly that it was Qingfeng Dao Chang, the two of them quickly opened the car door and walked out.
"Dao Chief, Officer Yan said that you left in the morning, did you really come back on foot?"
"Well, it's good to walk and exercise. Qingfeng Dao replied calmly.
He Jianguo and Wang Pei secretly exclaimed in their hearts, they are really masters, they don't sleep all night, don't eat breakfast, and can go for a walk, and what is even more exaggerated is that this walk is more than 70 kilometers away.
In fact, Ji Tianci didn't feel anything, and Qingfeng Dao Chang was a little tired.
"The two Dao Masters haven't had dinner yet, right? Why don't we find a place to eat nearby, do you think you have anything to do?" He Jianguo looked inquiring.
Before Qingfeng Dao Chang could speak, Ji Tianci said: "No need, we have eaten steamed buns on the road." ”
Qingfeng Dao Chang looked at Ji Tianci in surprise, and said the same: "Yes, we have already eaten." It's not too early, I think Brother He should go back early to arrange the aftermath, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and please mourn. ”
After speaking, Qingfeng Dao bowed. He knew that He Jianguo came over this time to express his gratitude, but now he and Ji Tianci were not in the mood to be polite anymore.
He Jianguo thought of his daughter, his expression became gloomy again, his eyes were ruddy, he was silent for a while, sighed, and opened the trunk after collecting his emotions.
