Chapter 14 The Final Destination of Ming Chen'an Three photos under the pillow
"Wen Jun regards Ming Chen'an as her final destination, where else can she go? Since I arrived in Qinghai to serve my sentence, none of my relatives have been in contact with our family. ”
"When was the last time you saw your daughter?"
"When, this was many years ago, I can't remember the exact time, my memory is getting worse and worse, but I still remember what she said when I saw my daughter the last time I saw her."
"What did she say?"
"Since Wenjun became a monk, I often went to the monastery to see Wenjun, and every time I saw Wenjun, I only sat in the corridor of the east ear room in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall - waiting for Wenjun to appear - Wenjun was working in the Daxiong Hall at that time."
"Why don't you go into the main hall?"
"I don't have the face to see my daughter, if I hadn't been in prison in Qinghai for more than ten years, my lover would not have been hurt so much, and my daughter would not have suffered serious physical and mental trauma. I have survived more than ten years in Qinghai day by day, and the life of their mother and daughter is even more difficult - their mother and daughter have not had a good life. ”
"To tell you the truth, when I was serving my sentence in Qinghai, I wanted to end my miserable and pitiful life more than once, but I was reluctant to let go of their mother and daughter. After I came back, I found that I was very wrong, Wenjun suddenly became a monk, I thought at the time, Mingchen Nunnery may be a good home, I went to the temple to see her, not to persuade her to turn back, I was not at ease with her. ”
"What did Shang Wenjun tell you?"
"She reassured me that she was doing well in the monastery, that her heart was much calmer than before, and that she was sleeping much more peacefully at night. She also begged me to forgive her for not being filial piety in front of her knees, she did not regret her birth at all, this is fate, since it is destined, then she should accept it calmly, complaining about heaven and others, but it makes the humble life even more unbearable. ”
"Since Wen Jun can say such things, it means that she has put everything down, so he will never leave Mingchen Nunnery, unless someone wants her to leave."
"The last few times, Wen Jun not only spoke to me, but on two occasions, she sent me down the mountain and ate at a noodle restaurant in the small town below. If she wants to leave the temple, she will definitely tell me. ”
Shang Derong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and continued: "Since Wen Jun chose to live in Buddhism, he will not go back. Taking a step back, if she chooses to turn back, she should also come back to me - she still has feelings for me, this child is very kind, in the more than ten years that I have served my sentence, she and her mother have depended on each other, and she has taken care of her mother at a young age, if it is not for the hurdles that cannot be overcome, she will not leave me. Tears welled up in Shang Derong's eyes again.
From Shang Derong's account, the three of them deeply felt his inner pain and his current situation.
People live in this world to endure a lot of suffering, but the pain that God has given to the Shang family is also too much. People have seven emotions and six desires, and God should share some joy with them!
When he left Shang's house, Shang Derong took out three photos from inside the pillowcase, which were taken by Shang Wenjun when he was eight, thirteen, and sixteen years old.
Shang Wenjun in the photo is delicate and beautiful, and the older he gets, the more beautiful he becomes.
Shang Derong handed over the three photos to Xiang Daimo.
Xiang Daimo, Lin Di and Ma Jianping took advantage of Shang Derong's time to enter the house to get the photo, scraped together more than 300 yuan, and pressed it under the wine bottle.
The three returned to the criminal investigation team with an unusually heavy heart. Zhao Zimeng, Xiao Luhan and Lu Qian were waiting for them in the captain's office.
After the six of them went to the cafeteria for dinner, they drove back to Mingchen'an.
When he left the cafeteria, Zhao Zimeng brought a lunch box of steamed buns for Linghu Yunfei.
By the way, Lan Simeng confirmed that the diary and pen that the comrades found under the meditation bed were the diary and pen that Lian Luo Dan had taken away; Alchem Luo Dan did have a yellow-colored schoolbag, and the lid of the schoolbag did have a red-colored five-pointed star on it - that was Refining Luo Dan's own rust. This yellow schoolbag accompanies Lian Luodan, from primary school to middle school.
Lan Simeng also said: "Luo Dan, like her, is a nostalgic person, she will not casually discard all the things that accompany her growth, school bags, diaries and pens are her favorite things." ”
Lan Simeng also emphasized: "One of the things my daughter must do in a day is to write a diary, which is the case when she is studying, and it is also like this after work - never stopping." ”
Based on the two aspects, everyone reached a consensus: Jingping did not leave Mingchen'an, and Qing Shui probably did not leave Mingchen'an either.
In Zhao Zimeng's opinion, Ning He said that he saw Qing Shui leave Mingchen Nunnery with his own eyes, but the person who wrote the note asked the comrades to go to Dongmen Town to find Qing Shui's family. Therefore, it is unlikely that the person who wrote the note is Ning He, and the purpose of the person who wrote the note is not only to let the comrades go to Qing Shui's family, but also to tell the comrades that Qing Shui has not left Mingchen Nunnery.
Undoubtedly, Qing Shui should be a more important clue.
If Zhao Zimeng's analysis can stand, then Zhao Zimeng firmly believes that the person who wrote the note will definitely help everyone in secret.
Of course, Mingchen'an is no longer a temple in the ordinary sense, and comrades have to have a few more eyes.
No one thought that the Jingping disappearance case would lead to a bigger disappearance case, and the mysterious disappearances, in addition to Jingping, there are also Qing Shui, Mo Wei and Xiuzhu, put the time longer, I'm afraid there are more than these few people.
This is clearly a dire case.
On the way back to Mingchen Nunnery, Zhao Zimeng also thought of another question: Why did Abbot Huijue let Jingping live alone in a meditation room? How was the accommodation problem for the other missing young nuns solved? Did they live in a single meditation room like Alchemist Luo Dan before they disappeared?
Some isolated and fragmented issues will reveal some important information if they are considered together, the age of the four missing nuns is in their twenties, and the place where Leng Yue saw Jingping and Ning and saw Qing Shui were all on the well in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, so did Qing Shui, Xiuzhu and Mo Wei live in the same meditation room as Jingping? Zhao Zimeng hopes to find more places that fit with each other.
Six people walked into the meditation room, and Ling Hu Yunfei was lying on the table writing something.
"Yunfei, what to write?"
"This afternoon, I went around everywhere, and I still had some gains."
"Tell me, what's the catch?" Lin Di said as he took out the lunch box from his bag and opened the lid, the bun was still a little hot.
Ling Hu Yunfei picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth - looking very hungry.
"Yunfei, didn't you go to the hall for dinner at night?" Xiang Daimo said.
"Don't be in a hurry to ask, let him eat two buns first." Lin Di said, "Deputy Ouyang, you slow down, don't choke." ”
Linghu Yunfei ate two buns in one go. Then I picked up a third one.
Lin Di walked to the corner and picked up a water bottle, but there was no water in the water bottle.
At this moment, the door of the meditation room opened, and a nun stood outside the door, carrying two hot water bottles in each hand: "Can we go in?" ”
"Please come in." Lin Di stepped forward and took two hot water bottles from the nun's right hand.
Xiao Luhan took the other two hot water bottles from the nun's left hand.
The nun didn't move, she stood at the door of the meditation room.
The nun gestured to the two hot water bottles placed in the corner, meaning to ask Lindy to hand her the two empty water bottles.
Zhao Zimeng stood up and walked to the door: "Master, what do we call you!" ”
"The Dharma name of the poor nun is Wujing."
Wu Jing's age is about thirty-five years old, and her teeth are more severe.
"Master Wujing, how many years have you been in Mingchen Nunnery?"
"Wu Jing came to Mingchen Nunnery at the age of seventeen."
Wu Jing is the old man of Ming Chen'an.
"Master Wujing, please come in and sit down, we have something to ask you."
Lin Di moved his chair and motioned for Wu Jing to sit down.
Wu Jing hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked into the meditation room, slowly sat down on the chair, and glanced into the courtyard before entering the meditation room.
Xiang Daimo closed the door of the meditation room.
Wu Jing looked at Zhao Zimeng's face in a daze, she was waiting for Zhao Zimeng to ask a question. In the end, Wu Jing is a cultivator, sitting upright, putting his hands together and resting on his right knee.
"Master Wujing, where are you doing things?"
"Wu Jing is doing things in the hall. He also manages a vegetable garden. ”
Entering the hall is the room. Wu Jing is both the head of the gang and the head of the vegetable.
"How many masters are there in Mingchen'an?"
"There are more than forty masters."
"We heard that before Jingping left Mingchen'an, there were also three masters who left Mingchen'an."
"Yes, after I entered the temple, a total of four people left."
"Which four?" Zhao Zimeng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"There is bamboo repair, water stopping, no worries, and another is clear water."
With the addition of still water, there were a total of five young nuns who left Mingchen Nunnery.
"How old was Shui when he left?"
"At the age of twenty, she left the temple the year after she entered the temple."
The age of the water stop is the youngest of the five girls.
"Didn't Zhishui's family go up the mountain to find their daughter?"
"Wu Jing doesn't know."
"Isn't it beautiful to stop water?"
"Very pretty, the girls I just mentioned are very pretty."
"Could you please tell us about the water stoppage?"
"Zhishui's home is in Bozhou, Anhui Province, three sisters, she is the third, the family is in the medicinal herb business, the family is very rich, I heard that it was because of marriage and parents fell out, and I went to Mingchen Nunnery to become a monk in a fit of anger."
"Where did the four girls you mentioned live before they left?"
"Qing Shui and Mo Wei live in the West Zen Temple, and Zhishui and Xiuzhu live in the Tibetan Scripture Hall."
"Where is the Tibetan Scripture Hall?" Linghu Yunfei asked.
"The Scripture Hall is the building on the north side that is being renovated." Wu Jing was referring to the building on the north side of the West Zen Temple, which Xiang Daimo and Lin Di saw, that was being repaired.
"Qing Shui and Mo Wei live in the meditation room where Jingping lives, and which meditation room does Zhishui and Xiuzhu live in the Tibetan Scripture Hall?"
