Chapter 177: Treasure Lost
A thought flashed in Chi Ming's heart, and he asked Wu Long, "Is it?" What treasures have been lost? ”
Wu Long began to explain the results of the investigation: "After we arrived at the temple, we directly went to the superintendent of the monastery, and the superintendent is the second-in-command of Baojing Temple. The www.biquge.info prison of the pen "Fun" Pavilion said that after they got up in the morning, they waited for Master Yuan Hui to give a lecture to the monks, but they couldn't wait for him to come, so they went to the abbot's room to call him, but they didn't expect to see that he had been killed. ”
"After the prison called the police, they gathered all the monks to understand the situation, but no one reported that they heard anything unusual last night, maybe the abbot's room was too far away from the other monks' rooms. Only one of the little monks who cleaned said that there was one item missing from the temple. The prison then went to the Buddha hall to see, and he found that what was missing in the Buddha hall was a pure gold Buddha statue, which was handed down during the Ming Dynasty and was of a very high value. ”
After Murong Fei heard this, he was stunned again, he felt that the nature of the case that the seven groups of them had just constructed had been seriously challenged.
He thought to himself that if the loss of the Buddha statue was true, then everything that happened in the temple last night might be related, and the nature of the case would naturally have to be re-analyzed.
He asked Wu Long, "So, has the matter of the loss of the pure gold Buddha statue in the Buddha Hall been finalized?" ”
Wu Long pursed his lips and said: "After I heard what the prison said, I was in a hurry to come up and communicate with you, I knew that you also needed this information, so I didn't go further to implement it." Besides, the Buddha Hall is also a suspicious crime scene, and you seven teams need to go and investigate. ”
Chi Ming frowned and said, "The Buddha Hall can be considered a theft scene at least temporarily, and I will go to investigate immediately." However, whether the theft and the murder were committed by the same person may need to be discussed after the on-site investigation. ”
Wu Long nodded and said, "That's right, I hope you can map out a comprehensive criminal process as soon as possible and identify it as soon as possible." ”
Murong Fei was originally in a good mood, but now he was disturbed by the loss of the Buddha statue, and he was completely disinterested, but he still said very calmly: "Wulong, don't worry, no matter what happens to the Buddha Hall, the investigation of the abbot's room is still very effective, and after Chi Ming goes to the Buddha Hall to investigate, we will synthesize and consider it together." ”
Wu Long saw that Murong Fei's mood had changed, which was completely different from what he said and laughed when he came over just now, knowing that they were already under pressure in their hearts, he comforted: "Murong, don't care too much, don't be affected by some things we investigated and affect your normal investigation, I believe that there is only one truth, and what your inference needs is independent and objective." ”
After Wu Long finished speaking, he went back to the prison again, and after communicating with Murong Fei, he also had a basic understanding of what happened last night in the entire temple.
He felt that the findings of the seven groups were still very objective, and as for whether the theft in the Buddhist hall was directly related to the killing of the abbot, as Chi Ming said, further argumentation was needed.
Wu Long felt that since such a thing had happened in the Buddhist hall, maybe he could make a breakthrough from here, boldly imagined, and carefully verified, whether this theft had anything to do with the killing of the abbot was not only dependent on Chi Ming's on-site investigation, but also required his own in-depth investigation.
He decided to find out more about the prison and discover more possibilities.
When Wu Long walked into the monk's room in the prison, he was arranging today's work, the work of Baojing Temple in a day is actually very complicated, as a specific affairs of the prison, it is very busy all day and night, and only the abbot can focus on Buddhist theory and promote Buddhism.
When the prison saw Wu Long walk in, he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down at a wooden coffee table.
After Wu Long sat down, he looked around at the monk's room, the monk's room was not big, the walls were all brown logs, except for the ground, all the eyes could see were made of wooden materials, which looked very antique.
The prison sat down opposite Wu Long, and Wu Long asked, "Who can enter the Buddha hall where you place the Buddha statues?" ”
The prison made a cup of tea for Wu Long and said, "We are not open to the outside world in this Buddhist hall, but some important family properties are enshrined in the temple, so only our own people can enter." ”
Wu Long followed the words of the prison and asked, "Who do you mean by yourself?" ”
The prison also made a cup of tea himself, took a sip, and said: "The main thing is that we monks, sometimes go to see, and I myself sometimes go back, and the utensils stored there are the most valuable assets of our Baojing Temple." ”
Wu Long asked carefully, "So apart from you monks, is there anyone else who can go in?" ”
The prison raised his head and thought for a moment, and said, "There should be no others." ”
Wu Long changed his way and continued to ask: "So in addition to the monks, do you employ some helpers in your temple?" Is all the work done by the monks themselves? ”
The prison was about to take a sip of the teacup, and after hearing Wu Long's question, he said: "The work of the monastery is done by us monks themselves, and we never hire helpers, but ......."
Wu Long came to his senses when he heard "just that", and asked, "Just what?" ”
The prison still drank a sip of the tea that was supposed to be drunk, and then lifted the rosewood teapot to fill Wu Long's teacup, and then said: "It's just that we recently hired a helper, and we have only been here for a little more than a week, and we are currently working in the kitchen. ”
When Wu Long heard that there was an accident in this personnel arrangement, he immediately became extremely interested, and he asked again: "Can you introduce the situation of such a helper." ”
The prison seemed to be a little reluctant to talk too much, I don't know if I really don't know much, or if I deliberately pretend not to know, he said: "This helper's name is Xu Deshan, he was recruited by the abbot with his nod, and I don't know much about his situation." ”
Wu Long felt that this helper named Xu Deshan was a little interesting, Baojing Temple never recruited helpers, all the work was done by the monks themselves, and now suddenly there was an extra helper, and it was the abbot who nodded his head himself, so he was recruited, what is the origin of this person? If it weren't for the general relationship, how could the monastery be able to recruit exceptionally?
Wu Long thought to himself, it is better to directly call this Xu Deshan over for questioning and understanding some information, which is more comprehensive than the information provided by the prison.
So he said to the prison, "Look, can you bring Xu Deshan over?" I have something to ask him. ”
The prison laughed; "Absolutely."
So he said to the little novice next to him, "Go and call Xu Deshan." ”
Xiao Shami said timidly: "Just now I looked for Xu Deshan to carry rice into the pot in the kitchen, but I couldn't find him anymore. ”
