Chapter XXV: Case Analysis Meeting

Zhao Zimeng first said a few opening remarks: "Judging from the current situation we have, the suspicion of Jiang Zihai and the craftsmen under him can basically be ruled out. ”

"Tonight, we will discuss a proposal together, and everyone will express their opinions, focusing on the object of criminal investigation and the direction of the next investigation."

"Since Jiang Zihai's gang is excluded from our sight, the monks of Cold Moon Temple are the targets of our investigation." Linghu Yunfei said, "This is what the two Buddha beads all express. ”

"Seniors, I think that the murderers are at least two people, judging from the information provided by the abbot of Xiuneng and the supervisor of Jueshui, those two masked men in black should be the murderers of Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao." Lu Qiandao.

"I think we should pay enough attention to Supervisor Jiecheng and Fa Zheng." Xiao Luhan said.

"Xiao Luhan, tell me about your basis." Zhao Zimeng said.

"When it comes to the overhaul fifteen years ago, Supervisor Cheng and Fa are the people mentioned the most by Abbot Xiuneng and Supervisor Jueshui."

"Jie Cheng is the supervisor, and he and Fa Zheng keep an eye on those craftsmen all day long, they are the ones who are most likely to discover the secrets of the well." Xiao Luhan analyzed, "It is said that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and I see the shadow of the yellow finch from their bodies." ”

"It was the abbot of Xiu Neng who told them to keep an eye on it. Isn't this also their duty," Lu Qian wondered, "Moreover, what Zen Master Puji said is very reasonable, what we see and hear may not be true." ”

"What Lu Qian said is a bit interesting, I think Puji's words are meaningful. Because he can't produce direct evidence, he can only hint at us. Xiang Daimo said.

"Sometimes, Jueshui's opinion is actually at odds with that of Abbot Xiuneng. I always felt that something was wrong. ”

"The two of them disagree? Can you give an example? Lin Di said.

"Regarding the rumors of the Cold Moon Temple, the abbot of Xiuneng said that it was just a rumor, and it was not credible. But Supervisor Jueshui insisted that Ge Zhenggen's case must be related to rumors. Team Zhao, I'm not wrong! ”

"Xiang Daimo's memory is very good, about the rumors of Lengyue Temple, the statement of Supervisor Jueshui and Mr. Deng's statement are consistent." Zhao Zimeng nodded yes.

"Now, what we can be sure of is that the masked man in black must be from the monastery, and the murderers of Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao are hidden among these monks, and no one can be ruled out of our sight until the truth is revealed. Xiao Luhan, you haven't finished your words yet! Zhao Zimeng looked at Xiao Luhan.

"Team Zhao, I can't say why for the time being, but my intuition tells me that Supervisor Cheng and Fa Zheng are more suspicious, and we may not be able to exclude them from our sight. The admonition is dead, but the Fa is still there. ”

"Abbot Xiuneng and Jueshui said that Fa Zheng and Supervisor Jiecheng have a deep relationship, and he should stay in Lengyue Temple forever." Xiao Luhan said.

"Yes! Fa Zheng actually left the Cold Moon Temple. Lin Di said.

"Fa Zheng only left the Cold Moon Temple twenty-two years ago. If Fa Zheng had something to do with the deaths of Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao, he should leave the Cold Moon Temple after the overhaul was over, and since the things had already arrived, there was no need to stay there anymore. Lu Qiandao.

"The monks in the temple, we have to sift through them one by one." Zhao Zimeng said.

"Team Zhao, do you mean that we have to investigate both the six monks who left the monastery and the people who stayed in the monastery?" Linghu Yunfei said.

"Yes, Lu Qian's words reminded me that the words of Zen Master Puji are very Zen-like, which are worth pondering! In the Cold Moon Temple, there are many people, but whoever it is, we have to weigh it carefully. ”

"Then let's investigate the six monks who left the monastery first, and if nothing comes of it, let's go back and investigate the people who stayed in the monastery, and not a single monk will be spared." XIANG Daimodao,

"Xiao Lu and I feel the same way, Fa Zheng, we should pay more attention."

"I think the focus of the investigation should be on the six monks who left the monastery, and the masked man in black searched the monastery for a long time, in order to find the underground palace and the treasures in the underground palace. Once they have the things, they should try to leave the monastery, and it is unlikely that they will stay in the monastery after they have them. Xiao Luhan has a slightly different opinion from everyone.

"Yes! Their purpose is to find the legendary Golden Buddha, after the Golden Buddha arrives, there is no reason not to leave, not to mention that they left two corpses in the Bodhisattva and the Secret Passage - the Cold Moon Temple has become a place of right and wrong, for the murderer, of course, the farther away the better. Lin Di said.

"Xiao Luhan and Lin Di's analysis also has some truth, we can't rule out that they hid the things they got in a certain place, and then found a suitable opportunity to leave the temple again." Zhao Zimeng said.

"If you leave the temple after you get your things, it will be easy to arouse suspicion if something happens at the east window." made Hu Yunfei think deeper,

"As long as you have something in your hands, you can leave it whenever you want. The later you leave, the less likely you are to arouse suspicion from others. ”

Zhao Zimeng took out a plastic bag from the leather bag, and there were two Buddha beads in the plastic bag, and Zhao Zimeng's eyes fell on the two Buddha beads.

The conversation quickly shifted to the Buddha beads.

"Although the murderer dropped two Buddhist beads at the scene, there were more than 30 monks in the monastery, and all the monks had the same Buddhist beads around their necks and in their hands, which brought great difficulties to our investigation." Xiang Daimo said.

"It's already very good, this can be regarded as God helping us, if it weren't for the murderer who dropped these two Buddha beads in the secret passage, I am afraid that the objects we want to investigate will include Jiang Zihai and his group of craftsmen." Linghu Yunfei said.

"Team Zhao, there should be many kinds of materials for Buddha beads, from the shape and appearance, the monks in the temple are holding in their hands and hanging around their necks, but the Buddha beads of different levels of monks should be different." Xiao Luhan said.

"That's right! We don't understand this, so it is necessary to ask Zen Master Puji. Zhao Zimeng said, "Today, in the Eastern Zen Temple, I always feel that the words of Zen Master Puji do not seem to be thorough and complete. ”

"Maybe it's because Abbot Xiuneng and Supervisor Jueshui are in front of me!" Lin Di Dao.

"Yunfei, later, how about we go visit Zen Master Puji?" Zhao Zimeng said.

"I think it's necessary. Didn't Master Puji say, 'What you see and hear may not be true'? Lu Qiandao.

"Team Zhao, is there such a possibility?" Lu Qian sometimes comes up with some whimsical ideas.

"Lu Qian, you say."

"What if the murderer deliberately left the two Buddha beads in the secret passage?" Lu Qiandao, "Only those devout Buddhists will never leave the beads, why does the murderer have to wear Buddha beads." The tiger wears Buddha beads in order to fill the good people, and since the disguise has been torn off, there is no need to wear Buddha beads. ”

"Xiao Lu, progress is very fast! I learned to think, but it's very unlikely. Linghu Yunfei said.

"The murderer won't think so far, they hid Ge Zhenggen's body in the Buddha's belly, and left Liu Abao's body in the secret passage, just to think that it won't be discovered, and the murderer won't think so far. I thought that the two Buddha beads were the murderer who fell into the secret path in a panic. Xiao Luhan also disagreed with Lu Qian's statement.

"There are two kinds of beads, one that is worn around the neck and one that is worn on the wrist – or held in the hand. It's been a few days since we entered the temple, and I have the impression that the beads are smaller than the bracelets. ”

"Well, Xiao Luhan is right, these two Buddha beads should have fallen from the hanging beads." Linghu Yunfei said.

"Because there are more hanging beads, after the rope is broken, the Buddha beads fall in the dark passage, and the murderer picks up the Buddha beads that can be seen, and he doesn't have time to count them one by one, so there are these two fish that slipped through the net." Xiao Luhan said.

Zhao Zimeng smiled and said: "Lu Qian's idea is very bold, if this is the case, after we have investigated the monks who left the temple and the monks who stayed in the temple, we will investigate Jiang Zihai's gang." ”

Xiao Luhan's observation is also very detailed, which is very reasonable. In any case, everyone must be mentally prepared, this case is not simple. ”

"It is possible that the murderer was wearing Buddhist beads when he committed the crime." Linghu Yunfei said, "The abbot of Xiuneng has Buddha beads on his hand and Buddha beads around his neck. ”

"The murderer is very deeply hidden, and it is impossible for ordinary monks to fly off the wall and disappear. The murderer had martial arts, but the people in the monastery, including the Puji Zen Master and the abbot of Xiuneng, did not know who had ever practiced martial arts. Xiao Luhan's thinking is always in a state of jumping.

"The murderer must have been a practitioner before entering the Cold Moon Temple, and the focus of our investigation should be on this." ZHAO Zimengdao,

"Fortunately, there is a diary in the monastery, and the situation of all the monks is recorded, although it is not complete, but as long as we dig deep in the investigation, we will definitely find clues."

"Team Zhao, let's go to Supervisor Jueshui now and borrow all the logs for excerpts." Linghu Yunfei said.

"You're here with me. Let's go directly to the abbot of Xiuneng, who is the head of the Cold Moon Temple after all. ”

"Captain, when will the investigation of the six monks who left the monastery begin?" Xiang Daimo said.

"I was about to talk about it. Yunfei, do you think this will work? ”

"Team Zhao, say whatever you think."

"Yunfei, you and Lin Di and Lu Qian stay in the temple, and first sort out the information of the monks in the temple. If necessary, you go straight down the mountain and do a survey on the periphery. Tomorrow morning, Xiang Daimo, Ma Jianping, and Xiao Luhanbing and I will divide into two ways to investigate the six monks who have left the monastery. ”

"Can Ma Jianping come over tomorrow morning?" Lin Di Dao.

"Tomorrow morning, Ma Jianping will definitely come over, if it is done quickly, maybe he will come over this evening. This kid has a very pointed nose, and our investigation is about to enter the second stage, and he will not be left behind. ”

After the case analysis meeting ended, Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei, Xiang Daimo, and Lin Di went to the abbot's monastery.

When he walked into the meditation room, the abbot of Xiuneng sat on the meditation bed and read the Buddhist scriptures, and he turned the Buddhist beads in his hand while reading the book.
