Chapter 20: Visiting Bai Yanzi's Family to Find Out the Truth About Gu Poison (5)

The next day, Bai Yanzi and Liao Hongmei walked on the bluestone road and went up the mountain on this stone staircase. There are a lot of people who rush to the temple fair today, the people who go up the mountain are in groups, the flow of people coming and going is endless, they are mixed in the crowd of people who go up and down the mountain to enter the temple, and the temple is splendid. Bai Yanzi and Liao Hongmei stood under this tall Buddha statue, and these good men and women came in one after another to bow down and pray sincerely. Bai Yanzi faced Liao Hongmei, who was standing next to her, and said, "Let's come and worship too." After that, they walked up and stood under the big Buddha statue and knelt down three times, got up and walked around the big Buddha statue, looking up and visiting these colorful murals, each of which tells us a story, the story of the Buddhist family. There is a statue of Guanyin on the small table behind this big Buddha statue, and there is also a merit box next to it, an old monk sits next to the merit box, rings the bell, the two kneel down, get up and put their hands together in front of them, pray sincerely, and then come forward to donate some pocket money. The old monk sitting next to him rang the bell and said, "The merit is immeasurable. Bai Yanzi and Liao Hongmei turned around and walked out of the temple, Bai Yanzi faced Liao Hongmei who was standing next to her, and said, "Go buy some incense." ”

"Okay, Master, I'll go now." Liao Hongmei stood at the window and bought some incense. Bai Yanzi took the incense in Liao Hongmei's hand, walked out and stood in front of the lamp, lit the incense in his hand, and then shook it upside down twice, the burning incense was extinguished, and the green smoke was raised, inserted in the huge stone tripod, took a few steps back and saluted with his hands in front of him, and Liao Hongmei walked out of this Tsz Yun Temple together, and met an old Taoist next to the gate of Tsz Yun Temple. Lao Dao caught up and greeted him, and said, "Sir, madam, let's count your fortune." ”

Bai Yanzi turned sideways to face Liao Hongmei next to her and said, "Tell a fortune." ”

"Forget it," they were about to walk away from the old way, but the old way turned to look at their departing backs, and then chanted a poem.

The stars have fallen, and the pavilion is dressed in green clothes.

Who is the most important in Xizi? Poor women are men.

This poem made the white swallow walking in front of him stop, turned around and walked forward, stood in front of Lao Dao, and said, "What is the meaning of this poem? There is a sentence in the poem, "The poor girl is a man," and Bai Yanzi may be interested in this sentence in the poem, and came forward to ask for clarification.

"Please come with the poor road, sir." Bai Yanzi and Liao Hongmei followed Lao Dao and slowly walked to the long table, Lao Dao sat behind the long table, looked at Bai Yanzi standing in front, and said, "Sir, please sit down." The white swallow sat down at the long table. Lao Dao poured a bowl of water, put some tea leaves in the water, and said, "Please Mr. drink this bowl of tea." ”

Bai Yanzi looked at the old Taoist in front of him, and held the bowl of tea with both hands. Lao Dao's face showed a faint smile, watching Bai Yanzi drink this bowl of tea, stretched out a hand to stroke his beard, and said, "What do you feel?" ”

"A refreshing breath into the stomach and intestines, refreshing, what kind of tea is this tea?"

"Yunnan Pu'er tea, but the brewing method is different, this tea is brewed with mountain spring water. There are many mundane things in the world, and their joys, sorrows, and sorrows are the feelings of ordinary people, and the birth of desires is exposed on their surfaces. Mr. is disturbed by this matter, life and death, like a meteor crossing or falling, life is like a white horse passing over a horse, Mr. is worried about this matter that he can't let go, mediocre things disturb himself, just like this bowl of tea, the heart is clear, no desire and no desire, look at the overall situation, seek the way and seek it. ”

Bai Yanzi was silent for a while, raised his head, and said, "Thank you, Dao Chief, for your call," and then got up and was about to leave. Lao Dao got up and said, "Sir, please stay." ”

White Swallow turned around and said, "What's the matter with the Dao Chief?" ”

"I'll give you this bag of Pu'er tea, and when you encounter troubles, think about what Poor Dao said."

"Thank you," Bai Yanzi bowed and left, descending the mountain back to the hostel, ready to pack his luggage and return to Chengdu tomorrow.

After listening to Liao Hongmei's words, Yuan Qi said, "You said that you met an old Taoist at the gate of Ciyun Temple. ”

"Well, yes."

"When did you return to Chengdu? What is the reason for returning to Chengdu? ”

"Early that morning, August 4, he said he had a headache."

"Headache, you can tell me about the face of this old man and describe it specifically." Yuan Qi found a pencil and a piece of paper, drew the face of the old Taoist through Liao Hongmei's telling, handed it over, and said, "Come and see, is it him?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's him, it's him," Yuan Qi took the portrait, looked at it and handed it to Zhao Deqing, and said, "Deqing, come and see who this portrait is?" Zhao Deqing took the portrait, Yuan Qi wiped his beard with a pencil, Zhao Deqing was very surprised and said: "Wushan, Yunnan." ”

Yuan Qi just nodded. Liao Hongmei looked at this company and said: "Actually, this company is not my wish alone, it is my master's lifelong wish, hoping to spread Chinese Peking Opera through these children, and we can't lose it in our generation." ”

"Well, the white swallow should also be relieved under the Nine Springs." Yuan Qi raised his head and looked at the company. After that, Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing stood up and said, "It's inconvenient for us to disturb here." ”

"I'd better send you off." Liao Hongmei sent Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing to the elevator door. After the elevator opened, Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing walked into the elevator and went down to the first floor by elevator. They stepped out of the elevator and walked out of the Guangmao Building. From another elevator, Liao Hongmei walked out of it, walked out of the hall, got into a car and left. Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing stood aside and watched her leave in a hurry, and said, "She's really busy." ”

Zhao Deqing, who was walking on the side, said: "Master, I have a question, Wushan in Yunnan is still in prison, how can he come out to commit crimes?" And it's far away in Yunnan, which is even more impossible. ”

"So, now we need to prove that the person in the prison is not Yunnan Wushan, Yunnan Wushan is capable of disguise."

"How can you prove it?"

"Wushan, Yunnan, who is arraigned in prison, uses a lie detector to detect his heartbeat frequency, and only in this way can we judge whether Wushan, Yunnan, is in prison is true or false." Yuan Qi lowered his head and pondered while walking on the road, and after a long time, he said: "This case is the same as Ye Zhichao's case back then, the object of the crime in Wushan, Yunnan is not Bai Yanzi, but me." Wushan, Yunnan knew me very well, and as he did back then, he thought that I would definitely intervene in this case, because he knew that Bai Yanzi and I were like-minded friends, so he made this case to lead me step by step into the trap he had set, and then put me to death. They stood in front of the bus stop, Yuan Qi suddenly turned around and said: "Deqing, you go to Chongqing to investigate a person, this person is the big disciple of Wushan in Yunnan, Yunzhanzi," and then took out two addresses, and said: "These two are the addresses of his temporary residence, remember to investigate secretly, don't leak the slightest rumor, since Wushan in Yunnan can understand the matter between me and Baiyanzi, maybe he is near this Chengdu, I am in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and some things have to be guarded against." ”

After Zhao Deqing returned, he drove to Chongqing secretly and walked to Yunzhanzi's temporary residence. It's all townhouses with small rows, and next to the redundant noise of the farmer's market. Zhao Deqing parked the car on the ground parking space outside the house, opened the door and walked out of the car and entered the community. The residential area in the community is very dense, and the road in the middle is not so wide, and there are many stalls and vendors here. Zhao Deqing walked on this narrow road, looking at the houses on both sides, holding the address in his hand, looking at the address, and walking in from a small door downstairs, there was no light between the stairs, it was particularly dark here, and he couldn't see the road ahead at all. When they walked upstairs, they had to turn on their flashlights to walk. Zhao Deqing took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight to illuminate the road ahead. The staircase is so narrow and so steep. Zhao Deqing climbed this staircase to the top floor, but only one family lived here. Zhao Deqing stepped forward and knocked on the door, no one answered in the door, and looked at the lock on the door, the lock was already rusty, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time. Zhao Deqing turned around and went downstairs to the next house and knocked on the door of this house, and it was an old woman who opened the door. After the old woman opened the door, she looked at Zhao Deqing who was standing in front of the door and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Is there any house on the top floor that is inhabited?"

"It's been a long time since no one lived, and you're looking for him to tell fortunes and measure words."

Zhao Deqing stretched out his hands and said, "No, I'm from out of town, I want to rent a cheap house here, so I can go out and find a job, I just walked to the top floor, and found that it is very quiet here, and I want to rent this one." ”

"It's really not easy for you outsiders to find a job here, and the salary here is not very high," the old woman invited Zhao Deqing into the room and sat on the sofa. There is also an old man next to him, holding a remote control board in his hand to switch channels and watching TV. Zhao Deqing stood up and said, "Uncle." ”

"Young man, please be seated."

The uncle took out a pack of cigarettes and said, "Young man, come, smoke." ”

Zhao Deqing stretched out his hands and said, "I don't smoke." ”

"It's good not to smoke, let's watch TV," the uncle put the remote control board aside, crossed one leg, took out a cigarette, put the cigarette in his mouth, picked up the lighter placed on the card table, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and took a puff and spit out the smoke. After that, the old woman walked out of the room and said, "I have already called the landlord, and the landlord will come over immediately, I am very familiar with the landlord, we both sell vegetables together, and when the landlord comes and asks him to charge you less rent, it is not easy for outsiders to find a job here." ”

The uncle turned around and asked, "Where is the young man from?" ”

"Henan people."

The old woman faced the uncle and said, "Wife, you have some acquaintances outside, see if there is a suitable one," the old woman was very enthusiastic.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you, in fact, no, I have already contacted it, now I just want to find a good house, and I can go to work in a few days."

At this time, they heard a knock on the door. The old woman stepped forward and opened the door. The landlord stood at the door of the room and said, "Zhang Hui." ”

"Come in." The landlord walked in and stood in front of Zhao Deqing and said, "You want to rent a house." ”

"Yes, take me to that room on the top floor." Zhao Deqing walked into this room under the guidance of the landlord. After walking in, Zhao Deqing closed the door, stood in front of the landlord, revealed his identity, and said: "Hello, I am a policeman, and I came here today to secretly investigate Yunzhanzi, it is not appropriate to make a noise, please forgive me." ”

"Okay, I'll keep quiet, you ask," the landlord shuddered at this point.

"Don't be nervous, auntie, please sit down, let's sit down and talk." The landlord sat down first, and Zhao Deqing sat opposite the landlord. After Zhao Deqing sat down, he asked, "When did you find out that Yunzhan Zi was not in this room?" ”

"It was probably at the beginning of October of the previous year, because he owed me money for the house, and I came up several times to blow that I didn't see him in the room."

"Oh, do you have any information about him or his phone number?"

"I've called him and his phone has been turned off. Oh, I still have a copy of his ID here, please wait a minute, I'll go back and get it. The landlord got up and walked out of the room, back to his home, and got a copy of Yunzhanzi's ID.

Zhao Deqing looked at the copy of Yunzhanzi's ID card and said, "Shichuan, a native of Yanbian Village, Yunnan." ”

"Well, this Ishikawa is Yunzhanzi."
