"Where does Jingping live? Can you show us there? ”

Although Lan Simeng has been to Mingchen Nunnery many times, she has never known where her daughter lives.

"Jinghei lives in the West Zen Temple." The other party said as he looked inside the main hall - the hall of Jingwu was empty.

"Where is the West Zen Temple?"

"To the west of the Mahavira Hall." The other party obviously wanted to get rid of the three people.

"Can Master Qinglian take us there? We wanted to know which meditation room Jingping stayed in. ”

"After entering the West Zen Temple, the third room on the right hand is the meditation room where Jing Ping lives." The other party still didn't want to lead the way for the four people, "Amitabha, the poor nun has something important to do." Please feel free to do so. After the other party finished speaking, he walked towards the east, and there was also a bottle-shaped door not far to the east.

The four of them always felt that the nuns in Mingchen Nunnery were weird. They seemed to be avoiding something. Mingchen Nunnery is a thousand-year-old temple, and the four people who walked into the nunnery felt a gloomy atmosphere, and the gloomy aura on the nuns of Mingchen Nunnery was particularly heavy.

At the moment, the most important thing is to find the abbot Huijue Shitai.

How can I find Master Huijue?

The four of them walked into the back door of the Jingwu Temple, and they were greeted by a man with open arms, his sleeves rolled up high, and a piece of wood on his shoulder, this person was supposed to be a craftsman.

The craftsman walked up to the four men and stopped: "Who are you looking for?" The craftsman said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Master, let's find Master Huijue."

"Isn't Master Huijue in the meditation room?"

"The door to the meditation room is locked."

"Go up to the tower and see, maybe it will be there."

"Thank you, master."

The craftsman continued his path.

"Master, what is your surname?" Xiang Daimo turned around and called the master.

The craftsman turned around: "Don't give your surname Chen." ”

"Master Chen, are you working here?"

Master Chen nodded.

"How long have you been here?"

"About three months."

"Do you know about Master Jingping's disappearance?"

"You know, didn't your people come to investigate?"

"Do you know Master Jingping?"

"We just do our work, and we don't know anything about the things in the monastery. You also know that there is a difference between men and women, and we work here - we eat together, how can we be close to the nuns. ”

Xiang Daimo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and smoked one.

"Thanks, no smoking in the monastery." Master Chen blocked Xiang Daimo's hand back.

Xiang Daimo inserted the cigarette into the cigarette case and put it in his pocket: "Master Chen, where are you working?" ”

"There—you can see it through that door." Master Chen pointed to the two large gates in the distance—the gate was on the west side of the Jingwu Temple.

At this time, Xiang Daimo heard the sound of saws sawing wood, although the sound was very small, but it was relatively clear.

The four men followed Master Chen into the gate, and after turning two corners, they saw five or six craftsmen busy in a building with only a wooden structure and no brick walls—two masters sawing wood. Next to the building are some green bricks and small gray tiles.

When they entered the door, Xiang Daimo and Lin Di saw the words "Tibetan Scripture Hall" above the door frame.

The lower part of the west wall of the building was not demolished because the lower part of the wall was connected to the mountain.

The reason why Xiang Daimo wanted to get close to Master Chen had his own considerations: the craftsmen had been busy in the temple for three months, and Lian Luo Dan had disappeared during this period, and the craftsmen might know some things about the temple. Only people who have lived in the monastery for a period of time may know about the situation in the monastery, and outsiders cannot know about it.

On the west and east sides of the construction site, there is a meditation room, and in the corridor in front of the east meditation room are several ropes with a few freshly washed clothes hanging from the ropes - the clothes are still dripping underneath. This meditation room was supposed to be a temporary residence for the craftsmen. There is also a small shed next to this meditation room, and a woman is sitting in the small shed picking vegetables.

Master Chen said: There are three houses in the Tibetan Scripture Hall, and some ritual utensils and furniture are placed in the West Meditation Room.

Xiang Daimo, Lin Di, and Director Wang walked to the front of the West Zen room: there was a lock hanging on the door, and some yellowed and torn paper was pasted on the lattice window.

Xiang Daimo walked to a window and looked inside through the torn paper: the house was full of miscellaneous items.

After that, the four of them went to the Famen Pagoda under the guidance of Master Chen.

When the four of them walked out of the scripture hall, Master Chen chased after them.

Master Chen seems to have something to say. The four men stopped.

"At present, the person in charge of the monastery is Nian Ci Shitai, but the real person in charge is Hui Jue Shitai. If you can't find Master Hui Jue in the Dharma Gate Tower, go and wait for her in the hall, and at half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, she will definitely appear in the hall. Usually, apart from the time you have to eat, it's very difficult for you to find Master Huijue. ”

"Why is that?"

"I don't know, we've been here for nearly three months, and it's rare to see Master Huijue."

Master Chen was not wrong, the four of them did not find Master Huijue in the Famen Tower.

On the stone steps under the Famen Pagoda, two nuns are cleaning the leaves, although the autumn wind is mild, but the leaves fall very strongly, probably because of the season.

A nun said that Master Hui Jue had come before, and Master Hui Jue had been on the Dharma Gate Tower for a while, and then went elsewhere, but I don't know where I went.

"So, in what direction Master Huijue is going, the two masters should always know!"

"The abbot went in the direction you came."

Four people along the way, there are several forks, Mingchen Nunnery is a thousand-year-old temple, the scale is very large, the buildings are next to each other, there are many forks.

I can't find Master Huijue for a while, so let's talk to the two masters first.

"May I ask what the two masters are called?"

"My name is Jing'an." A slightly younger nun said.

Jing'an is about twenty-five years old, she has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but she looks weak.

"Her name is Don't be Agitated." Jing'an pointed to an older nun.

Be's age is about forty years old, and he is relatively short, but he is very stocky.

"Two masters, can we talk to you?"

"Who are you?" Jing'an Road.

Xiang Daimo took out his documents from his pocket, opened them, and lit up in front of Jing'an: "We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau - we are here for the case of Jingping's disappearance." ”

Don't be impatient and stood aside, she didn't say a word, she looked at Xiang Daimo and Lin Di in a daze, her ears didn't seem to be good.

"Don't be impatient, you're dumb." Jing'an said, "Her ears are not good. ”

Dumb people can't communicate.

"Can we talk to you?"

"I just came to Mingchenan a month ago. I haven't heard of the case you just mentioned. ”

"Didn't the master in the temple discuss this case?"

"It's not allowed to ask about anything that has nothing to do with the Buddha in the monastery."

The conversation could not be carried out, and the four of them finally met two masters, one was mute and the other had just arrived.

Looking for it any longer, it was pointless, and the four of them quickly left Mingchen Nunnery.

The three of them sent Lan Simeng home first, and then returned to the criminal investigation team. Along the way, Xiang Daimo and Lin Di persuaded Lan Simeng with kind words - Ming Chen'an pounced, Lan Simeng's mood became more and more melancholy and anxious, and tears never left her eyes.

After Zhao Zimeng and Linghu Yunfei listened to Xiang Daimo's report, they immediately decided to formally file the case. Since Lian Luo Dan was a monk and disappeared in Mingchen Nunnery, then take Ming Chen'an as the focus of the investigation, and Master Huijue is the abbot of Ming Chen'an, if she doesn't show up, it will definitely not work.

Before leaving for Mingchen Nunnery, Zhao Zimeng, who had always been cautious, went to see Director Wang, and after listening to Zhao Zimeng's report, Director Wang immediately dialed the phone number of Director Song of the Municipal Religious Affairs Bureau.

Director Song immediately agreed to personally accompany the comrades to Mingchen Nunnery.

The two sides made an appointment at eleven o'clock in front of the archway of Mingchen Nunnery, and Director Wang attached great importance to this case. He even suggested that the comrades should be stationed at the Mingchen Nunnery that afternoon.

Director Wang also talked to Zhao Zimeng about a situation, and it was this sudden situation that made Director Wang let Zhao Zimeng enter Mingchen Nunnery in the afternoon.

Mrs. Huijue is about to leave Mingchen Nunnery and serve as the abbot of Pudu Temple in Songshan, Henan.

This can't be a coincidence!

It's no wonder that Master Hui Jue would leave the affairs of the monastery to Master Nian Ci to take care of.

In such a very special period, Master Huijue suddenly wanted to leave Mingchen Nunnery, which was very detrimental to the work of the comrades, and after Director Wang heard this, the first reaction of his brain was that Master Huijue must not be allowed to leave Mingchen Nunnery. Even if you want to leave, you have to wait for the disappearance case of Lian Luo Dan to be revealed.

Director Song promised Director Wang that under the current circumstances, he would not let Master Huijue leave Mingchen Nunnery.

At about two o'clock at eleven o'clock, two police cars stopped in front of the large archway of Mingchen'an.

The car door opened, and eight people came out of the car, they were Director Wang, Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei, Xiang Daimo, Lin Di, Xiao Luhan, Ma Jianping and Lu Qian.

A few minutes later, a black sedan drove around the corner, and it was Director Song's car.

Director Wang and Zhao Zimeng greeted him.

After the car stopped, two men stepped out of the back seat of the car, one was about fifty years old, he was Director Song, and the other was about thirty years old, he was Director Song's secretary.

After exchanging a few words of greetings, everyone followed Director Song and walked towards the mountain.

The group walked into the nunnery, along the corridor on the east side of the main hall to the north, and then entered the East Zen Temple, and entered the hall in the East Zen Temple.

and Zhao Zimeng and his party entered the East Zen Monastery and some nuns.

Xiang Daimo rolled up his sleeves and looked at his watch, the time was eleven twenty-eight. The monks in the monastery are very punctual.

Along a circular corridor to the north, you can see a large building in the distance, and three large characters are written on the top of the building: "Enter the hall".
