At the case analysis meeting, Xiao Luhan also mentioned admonition and legal integrity.

Putting aside the information provided by Master Huairen, relying on the clue of the crystal Buddha beads alone, more attention should also be paid to Fazheng.

Xiu Neng has a string of crystal beads, and Jiecheng also has a string of crystal beads.

And Jiecheng died of illness after the overhaul 25 years ago, so the suspicion of Jiecheng cannot be ruled out.

Back then, Fa Zheng and Jiecheng were inseparable in the temple, and the key was that Fa Zheng later left the Cold Moon Temple, so his suspicion could not be ruled out.

Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao were killed at the same time, one body was in the belly of the Buddha, and the other body was hidden in the secret passage of the well wall, which shows that there were at least two more murderers.

One man could not go down to the well, and no one could climb to the well without the help of another.

Jie Cheng and Fa Zheng Master and Apprentice meet this condition in terms of numbers.

It doesn't take a lot of skill to fly off the wall and get out of the way, and it only takes guts and planning to kill.

In the journal of the Cold Moon Temple, there are only these three pieces of information about the situation of Fazheng:

Fa Zheng was only a few months old when he entered the Cold Moon Temple, and he was still a baby.

The law was picked up by the supervisor on the road to the fate.

The place where Jie Cheng picked up the Fazheng was in Mengdong Village.

Supervisor Jueshui said that Mengdongzhai is at the northern foot of Huishan.

There are four villages at the northern foot of Huishan, Mengdong Village is the closest village to Lengyue Temple, and the straight-line distance is three or four miles.

Every time Supervisor Cheng goes down the mountain to change his fate, he must pass through this village. Every time I go back to Lengyue Temple, this is also a must-pass place.

Of course, the situation regarding Fazheng is provided by the precepts themselves.

As for whether Fa Zheng was carried up the mountain from Mengdong Village, Supervisor Jueshui could not be sure.

Zen Master Puji and Kongyun, Huizheng, Wei and several Zen masters are also uncertain.

If you want to understand the problem of Fa Zheng and Jiecheng, you can only go to Mengdong Village and the villages near Mengdong Village to try your luck. If there is no result, then you have to go to the southern, eastern, and western foothills of Huishan, including the villages near Huishan, to search carefully.

Zen Master Puji made a good suggestion for this: before investigating, you can go to the stone village to find out the situation with Teng Laosan and Mr. Deng, who are locals after all.

Teng Laosan used to be a cook, ten miles and eight villages, as long as there was something red and white, he would be asked to help.

He has been to a lot of places, and he is familiar with everyone, and he will hear a lot of gossip and parents.

The eldest girl gets pregnant before marriage, and then abandons her son on the side of the road, her husband picks up ashes, and women raise Han, Teng Laosan may have heard of such things.

As for Mr. Deng, he has a wealth of experience and is admired, he has taught at Huishan Academy for decades, and many people have studied at Huishan Academy in the surrounding area.

Mr. Deng also has a lot of contact with the villagers, and he may also hear some rumors.

In the township, gossip such as unmarried pregnancy is unlikely to be hidden, and it spreads the fastest.

After breaking up with Zen Master Pujishi, Supervisor Jueshui, and Master Huairen, Zhao Zimeng and his entourage rushed to the third house of Teng Lao in Shizhai.

Teng's family is the only one in the Teng family at the moment, and Teng Ergui has already gone to work in the village weaving factory.

Teng Laosan helped out at Deng Laosi's house in Shizhai.

Deng Laosi's mother celebrated her 80th birthday, and Teng Laosan is now old and can't run, so he no longer goes to Shili Eight Village to help, but if there is anything in the village, he is still willing to lend a hand.

Aunt Teng led the comrades to the gate of Deng Laosi's house, and just turned around to leave, she was dragged by the woman rushing inside.

She must leave Aunt Teng to eat longevity noodles and drink longevity wine, but Auntie Teng still found an excuse to leave.

Zhao Zimeng understood Aunt Teng's thoughts, she didn't want to follow Teng Laosan to others to take advantage.

People who are poor can't be short-minded!

The villagers are not rich, in order to honor the elderly, people usually save money and save money, praise a little money for the old man to spend this birthday, the old man to the old man to help, people invite him to drink as a matter of course, he follows to take advantage, inappropriate!

Seeing Aunt Teng's back disappear around the corner, Zhao Zimeng walked into the courtyard gate of Deng Laosi's house alone, and the others stood outside the courtyard gate.

There were many guests sitting in the halls and wings of the Deng family, and there was a loud sound of mahjong in the hall.

A middle-aged woman led Zhao Zimeng into the kitchen.

Teng Laosan was gesturing with a young chef in the kitchen.

A large table was filled with plates and saucers, all of which were cut up for later use.

"Captain Zhao, why are you here!" Teng Laosan saw Zhao Zimeng at a glance.

After Teng Laosan and the young chef explained a few words, they walked out of the courtyard gate with Zhao Zimeng and walked under a maple poplar tree.

As soon as the two of them stood still under the maple poplar tree, Mr. Deng walked out of the courtyard gate on crutches.

Zhao Zimeng hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Deng, I didn't expect you to be here." ”

"The old lady of the Deng family is 80 years old, and the old man also came to join in the fun." Mr. Deng's face was full of spring breeze.

"Mr. Deng, we are looking for you at Huishan Academy."

"You must have something important."

Zhao Zimeng told Mr. Deng and Teng Laosan about the progress of the case.

Mr. Deng pondered for a moment, and then said, "The old man has dealt with Supervisor Jiecheng. Master Fazheng, I have also seen it, Fazheng is like the shadow of the supervisor of Jiecheng, every time he goes to Lengyue Temple to enter incense, as long as he sees Jiecheng, he will definitely be able to see Fazheng. ”

"Mr. Deng is right. I always feel that Fazheng's eyebrows and eyes are a bit like admonitions. Mr. Deng, what do you say? Teng Lao Sandao.

"The third child is right. Third, more than 30 years ago, you once told me something, do you remember? ”

"What is Mr. Deng referring to?"

"It's a matter of a girl in Zangjiazhai who is pregnant before marriage."

"I heard from others, and Mr. Deng still remembers this incident."

"Can you please tell us about Mr. Deng and Uncle Teng?" This news was in Zhao Zimeng's arms, and he was eager to know the inside story.

"Third child, you talk to Captain Zhao and them, according to the time you said, the time when Fa Zheng was carried into the Cold Moon Temple by Cheng Cheng and the thing you said can be matched." Mr. Deng said.

"Captain Zhao, let's find a place, sit down and talk slowly." Teng Laosan said: "Just come to my house - there are many people here." ”

So, the group went to Teng's house.

Thanks to the guidance of Zen Master Puji and Supervisor Jueshui, Mr. Deng and Teng Laosan really knew a lot of things.

Aunt Teng boiled water to make tea, and everyone sat in the hall and talked.

"Captain Zhao, here's the thing, thirty-four years ago, in the spring of the year when Fa Zheng was taken into the Cold Moon Temple by Jie Cheng, I helped Director Zang's house in Zang's house - a few people mentioned one thing when they were drinking."

"You speak slowly, and the more detailed you are, the better."

"It is said that the youngest daughter of a family in the village locked herself in the house for months at a time, saying that she was sick and recuperating at home, but the neighbor next door overheard the baby's crying. There are only two couples and three daughters in this family, and none of the three daughters have a family, where are the children? ”

"Where is Zangjiazhai?"

"Leaning on Mengdong Village, under Mengdong Village."

"Do you have to go to Mengdong Village from Zangjiazhai to Lengyue Temple?"

"Yes, Mengdong Village is a necessary place for monks to go down the mountain and up the mountain."

"What's the family's last name?"

"The surname is Zang, and the people in Zang's village are all surnamed Zang - there is no one with a foreign surname in a village."

"What's the name of this man?"

"I don't know, it's all the same surname, I'm afraid that the scandal will spread, and the family's face will not look good, so you have to investigate it yourself, but I can go to Zang's village to find relatives to inquire, since this matter is related to the case in the temple, I believe someone will definitely say it."

"The third sister's sister married in Zang's village." Mr. Deng said.

"You all know that this family has three daughters, how can you not know which one?"

"Coincidentally, there are several families with three daughters in the Zangjia Village."

"The third child is right, Zang's family is a big village, and there are more than a dozen families with three daughters." Mr. Deng said.

"What happened after that?"

"After that, this girl's illness suddenly improved, and after working in the field for half a month, she married in a foreign country."

"Where did you get married?"

"I don't know. Said to be far away. The population of Zangjiazhai is very tight, and rumors are rumors, but no one names them. "Later, I heard that it was said by someone from Mengdong Village, that someone saw a woman and a monk doing something in the woods, and that the supervisor often went down the mountain alone, so is the monk the supervisor of the company?" The gossip news from Teng Laosan is very exciting.

"Captain Zhao, I have heard those students talk about it in the academy. This matter was spread all over the place at the time, as long as you check it carefully, there will definitely be eyebrows. Fa Zheng is probably the child that people say about it. ”

"If that monk is a kind of admonition, then Fazheng is very likely to be a kind of admonition." Teng Lao Sandao.

Teng Laosan promised to accompany the comrades to Zang Jiazhai's sister's house after finishing Deng Laosi's affairs: "Captain Zhao, please rest assured, in Zang Jiazhai, in addition to my sister's house, I have many acquaintances, and tonight, I will definitely inquire about some information." ”

After saying goodbye to Teng Laosan and Mr. Deng, Zhao Zimeng and others went back to the temple for dinner.

Teng Laosan returned to Deng Laosi's house to continue to be his cook, and the old man's 80th birthday could not be affected, and more than a dozen tables of dishes had to be made.

After dinner, the comrades rested in the meditation room, planning to go to Teng Laosan's house at about eight o'clock.

Teng Laosan has been busy in Deng's house for a day, and he must drink alcohol, and he must accompany his comrades to Zang's village after the banquet is over.

Who knows, after everyone finished dinner, as soon as they sat down in the rooms of Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiang Daimo, Teng Laosan rushed into the East Zen Courtyard in a hurry.

When Teng Laosan appeared at the door of the meditation room, Zhao Zimeng was really taken aback: "Uncle Teng, why did you come to the Cold Moon Temple at this time?" ”

"I've finished the affairs of the Deng family, I've been waiting for you at home for a while, and when I saw that you weren't there, I came to the Cold Moon Temple." Teng Laosan's face was flushed, and at a glance, he knew that he had run all the way here.

"Uncle Teng, aren't you drinking birthday wine at the Deng family?"

"No, I can't drink at Mr. Deng's house."

"Why is that?" Zhao Zimeng was puzzled.
