Chapter 43: Testimony (5)
The next day, Ansu went to the criminal police team.
Before the questioning began, the staff solemnly reminded her that if she gave false testimony and covered up the crime, she would be held legally responsible. Ansu nodded understandingly.
After a few simple questions, let's get to the point. Ansu recounted in detail what had happened that night, except that she omitted her own bite.
The detective asked her why she was sure that it was half past eleven when Xiang Hui arrived at your house.
Ansu said that he was reading a book in bed that night and fell asleep, and after being woken up by thunder, he wanted to check the time, and found that the mobile phone was out of battery and automatically turned off. She found a charger to plug in the phone to charge, and turned on the phone at the same time, and the time displayed after the phone was turned on was half past eleven. At that time, Xiang Hui was already at the door of the house, in fact, Xiang Hui arrived at her house earlier than that.
The criminal police asked again: "How do you prove that Xiang Hui never left your house all night?" ”
Ansu replied, "We were together all night. ”
The detective asked again, "What are you doing together?" ”
An Su had already thought that they would ask such a question, and he had also thought that if he wanted to save Xiang Hui, his reputation would definitely not be guaranteed. I'm really glad that I'm still single, otherwise I wouldn't be able to explain it to her with a hundred mouths. She replied with two words very simply: "Sleep." ”
The detective asked again, "Then how do you prove that you two have been together all night?" ”
In the face of the criminal police's aggressive and repeated questioning, An Su felt that if he didn't tell the truth, he would definitely be questioned endlessly. She was silent for a moment, then decided to let it go. But how to say it? She thought for a moment before she spoke: "When Xiang Hui arrived at my house, he was already drenched in heavy rain, and after taking a bath, we chatted for a while. During the chat, we disagreed and got into a fight. When we got tired, we calmed down again, and we continued to chat, and then we chatted and went to bed......"
Ansu didn't go any further, and the later plot was enough for them to use their rich imagination. Maybe then they won't be asking endlessly.
I don't know how these criminal policemen reacted when they listened, anyway, An Su was red-faced and red-eared, and he didn't dare to raise his head. In the end, Ansu felt that she could add a little more. She said: "Perhaps, you can go and examine Xiang Hui's right shoulder, which was bitten by me at that time, and there should be a scar." And his back was also scratched by me at that time. ”
The criminal police were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this woman to be so fierce in a fight. Soon, they asked, "Then why are you only here to testify?" ”
An Su smiled faintly: "Once, I wanted him to die more than anyone else......"
The detectives listened expressionlessly, but they were all wondering in their hearts: Xiang Hui never mentioned where he had gone after leaving the bar that night. What kind of couple are these? It's just unpredictable.
Zou Mingfang, who was waiting anxiously outside, saw Ge Yuqing nodding at him, knowing that his son must be fine, and finally smiled. At this moment, she suddenly felt embarrassed. This person she has been guarding day and night for 16 years, but she didn't expect that she would save her son in the end. She didn't expect that this person, who had hated her son for sixteen years, would come to the rescue so readily at a critical moment. Thinking of Liu Hui, she began to examine for the first time whether her motherhood was wrong.
An Su walked out of the criminal police brigade and saw He Xiangnuan standing there smiling at her, and she laughed too.
In the evening, An Su received a call from Sun Jing. She told Venerable An Su Jingtang that he had come to G City and would give a lecture to the lay people tomorrow in the Lay Forest of G City. If Ansu wants to see him, he can go to Jushilin to find him.
The next morning, Ansu came to Jushilin. When she arrived, the Jingtang was chanting with the laymen.
Before she entered the Buddhist hall, she heard a low chanting voice: "At that time, the Buddha told the elder Sariputta." From the West, more than 10 trillion Buddha lands have the world name Bliss. There is a Buddha in its land, called Amitabha. Now and now. Sariputta, why is the land called Bliss? The sentient beings of the kingdom have no suffering, but they receive all kinds of happiness, hence the name Bliss......"
An Su watched quietly by the door for a long time, and a layman thought that she had also rushed over to listen to Master Jingtang's lecture, and told her that a layman's mother had passed away, and Master Jingtang was leading everyone to chant the scriptures, and the monk would not give a lecture until the afternoon.
It wasn't until it was close to the noon break that An Su saw Jingtang in the guest hall of Jushilin. Facing this senior brother who has always loved him and is now a high monk, An Su was in awe, folded his hands and respectfully saluted Jingtang, and shouted Senior Brother.
Jingtang folded his hands in return, and then looked at An Su for a moment, as if he saw the two children who had been playing at the mountain gate. Sixteen years have passed. He closed his eyes for a moment and chanted "Amitabha".
Jingtang told Ansu about what happened after she left.
Back then, when they heard the bad news that Jingming was killed, everyone was very sad. The court's verdict made them even more unacceptable, how could this little junior brother who everyone watched grow up be so smart and compassionate, how could he commit murder with a knife. The brothers were grief-stricken and indignant, and Jingtang was even more angry and wanted to ask for an explanation. Jingming was brought up by him, and their relationship was the deepest. However, the monks in the temple were not allowed to intervene in this matter. Venerable Zhishan never said a word, and took the monks to chant in the main hall every day.
Jingming had no relatives, and his body was collected by Myofa Temple. Jingtang said that he and several senior brothers went to pick up Jingming's body, and it was he who personally replaced this little junior brother he loved the most with clean sea green. Follow Master's instructions and perform the Dhivi Dharma for him with the monk's Dhivi ceremony. Yes, and then sent to the back mountain. Jingming's ashes were sprinkled on the back mountain by Jingtang's own hands.
Jingtang said, "You know what? When Jingming left, his hands were sealed with meditation, and he still had a compassionate smile on his face......"
An Su listened quietly, letting the tears flow silently.
The two chatted for a long time, and Jingtang told An Su that in fact, more than ten years ago, Jingming's father had come to the temple to look for him. Later, someone came to inquire about Jingming's news. Unexpectedly, after 16 years, his relatives came to the door again.
Since Jingming's father came to him more than ten years ago, why didn't Chen Dashan know? What's the problem? An Su suddenly thought of something and asked Jingtang: "Senior brother, apart from the people from the TV station, do you remember who came to inquire about Jingming's news?" ”
Jingtang thought for a moment and replied, "I was not in the temple at the time, and I heard from the senior brothers in the temple that it was a young girl. ”
An Su thought, who is this girl?
She did not stay to listen to the lectures. Before leaving, Jodo sent her to the gate and handed her something wrapped in an earthy cloth. Ansu took it suspiciously.
Jingtang said: "This is what I found when I was sorting out Jingming's relics, he didn't have many things, I only left this one, and the others have been burned." I think this thing should be for you. ”
An Su was about to open it, but Jingtang said, "Let's go back and look at it again." ”
An Su nodded, remembering what Master had told her. She didn't understand, so she asked Jingtang.
Jingtang smiled slightly, "You have to understand this yourself." Finally, he said, "Listen to your heart, and if you don't know what you want, you might as well look back." ”
Ansu thanked him and said goodbye to him. (To be continued.) )
