For this, Zhao Zimeng has his own considerations:

In Lengyue Temple, there are only two strings of crystal hanging beads, one is the one that the abbot of Xiuneng awarded to the Zen master Kongyun, and the other is the one that the abbot of Qingfeng awarded to the supervisor of Jiecheng.

If the people who killed Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao were not cultivators and pure water, then they could only be Honesty and Fazheng.

The precepts have been passed away, so the most doubtful person is the Fazheng who left the monastery 22 years ago.

"Now that I think about it, there is a person who is—" Pure Water suddenly said something that was hidden.

"Pure water, what do you want to say?"

Purifying water is still a little hesitant.

"Say everything you've swallowed."

"Pure water strictly follows the master's teachings, and never talks nonsense, if there is no evidence, pure water does not dare to talk nonsense."

"Just say, we'll find out. If you can proactively provide us with valuable information, you may be able to consider mitigating your guilt, but only if you are telling the truth. ”

"Captain Zhao, what Pure Water said is all the truth."

"Very well, who is this person in your mouth?"

"It's Master Huairen, the leader of the gang."

"Why doubt him?"

"Master Huairen and the surnamed Ge and the surnamed Liu are very close, and when there is nothing to do in the room, he often goes to the well to talk to the surnamed Liu. I saw it with my own eyes. ”

Master Huairen also secretly put the steamed buns and salted duck eggs in the room into their pockets. The overhaul surnamed Ge and the overhaul surnamed Liu often work overtime until late at night, and Master Huairen sees them working too hard? I gave them steamed buns and salted duck eggs to eat. ”

"As far as you know, who else besides Master Huairen came into contact with the two craftsmen - or often went to the well?"

Zhao Zimeng judged that there were at least two murderers in this case, and from the experience of going down the well last time, one person could not go down the well.

"After being reminded by Captain Zhao, Pure Water remembered that Huairen's apprentice Ruogu also sent steamed buns and salted duck eggs to the surnamed Liu, and Pure Water guessed that Master Huairen ordered Ruogu to do this."

"In addition to sending steamed buns and salted duck eggs to Ge Zhenggen and Liu Abao, and talking to them, what else is suspicious?"

The water purification brow is tightly locked, and it is contemplative.

"Think about it."

"Something suddenly occurred to me."

"Say it quickly."

"It stands to reason that Master Huairen is just a gang, and it is his business to be able to cook the food well, so it stands to reason that he should not go to the Scripture Pavilion."

The scripture pavilion was above the meditation room where Zhao Zimeng and the others lived.

"Did you see Huairen enter the Scripture Pavilion?"

"Twice, Jingshui went to the vegetable garden to find the master, and accidentally saw Master Huairen standing in the window of the south pavilion of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion."

"Twice?"

"Twice."

"When did this happen?"

"That's when the overhaul happened."

"What did Huairen do standing in the window of the Scripture Pavilion?"

He stood there and looked over the well.

"Is it night, or is it day?"

"It's after lunch. At that time, there was no one in the temple. All the monks take a lunch break in the meditation room. ”

"Have you told Abbot Xiu Neng about this situation?"

"No, Purify Water just wants to do its own thing, and doesn't want to mess with right and wrong. That's how the master usually teaches water purification. ”

"Isn't the door of the Pavilion unlocked?"

"The Scripture Pavilion is usually locked, and because of this, the water purification feels a little strange."

"Who has the key to the Scripture Pavilion?"

"The abbot and supervisor have the keys to the Scripture Pavilion. It was easy for Master Huairen to get the key to the Scripture Pavilion. ”

"Why?"

"Everyone knows that Huairen was a locksmith before he became a monk."

Ling Hu Yunfei took out the information of all the monks in Cold Moon Temple that Ma Jianping and Lu Qian had sorted out from his bag, flipped to one of the papers, and handed it to Zhao Zimeng.

What Pure Water said is right: Huairen, commonly known as Zou Jiachang, was born in four or five years, and became a monk twenty-three years ago, and his livelihood before becoming a monk was a locksmith.

"Pure water, what else do you want to tell us?"

"No, if you think of anything in the water purification, tell Captain Zhao again."

The water purification is quite honest and does not hide anything.

Next, Zhao Zimeng interrogated the abbot of Xiuneng.

When Xiu Neng was brought into the interrogation room, the Buddhist beads that were originally held in his right hand were worn on his left wrist, and the disguise had been torn off, and it was no longer interesting to pretend.

The wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes had been added a few more because of the sudden change, and the nasolabial folds were even deeper.

The face still seems to be a little puffy.

The eyes that are not obvious are even more absent because of the redness, swelling and squeezing of the eye bubbles.

According to Zhao Zimeng's instructions, the guards added a pair of shackles to Xiu Neng in advance, but this old Zen master was as light as a swallow and his martial arts were extraordinary, so he had to guard against it.

"Abbot Xiuneng, do you have anything to tell us?"

"What should be said, the old decay has said. The old decay and pure water are stupid, only staring at the Yingxia Hall and the Daxiong Treasure Hall. However, he neglected the East Zen Temple and the well, and as a result, he let others get ahead of him. "The abbot of Xiu Neng looked unwilling, and he regretted it vigorously.

"The old man thinks that the facts of the legend are nonsense. If you hadn't seen the entrance on the wall of the well, the decay would still be kept in the dark! ”

"Do you know why we put a pair of shackles on you?"

"Aren't you worried about old kung fu? Scold...... What are you afraid of, isn't the old decay coming with you! "It seems that Abbot Xiuneng doesn't know that his cruelty to Abbot Qingfeng has been revealed.

"How did Abbot Qingfeng die?" Zhao Zimeng stood up and walked to Xiu Neng, staring at the abbot of Xiu Neng.

Abbot Xiuneng raised his head without hesitation, looked at Zhao Zimeng and said, "Host Qingfeng died of illness. ”

"Really? Let you see something. Zhao Zimeng sneered.

"What's that?"

Linghu Yunfei took out a stack of photos from a file bag and handed them to Zhao Zimeng.

Zhao Zimeng showed the photos one by one to Xiu Neng.

"Xiu Neng, do you see clearly?"

"What is this?"

"This is the corpse of Abbot Qingfeng."

"O sin—sin, how can you be so rude! This is a great disrespect to the abbot of Qingfeng. Abbot Xiuneng was horrified when he saw the photo, he never expected that Zhao Zimeng and them would go to open the coffin for an autopsy.

"If we don't do this, how can we know the real cause of Abbot Qingfeng's death?"

"The real cause of death? Captain Zhao, human life is at stake, and if there is no basis, you don't dare to open your mouth! ”

"We opened the coffin for an autopsy, just to find the basis, after the verification of several Zen masters in your temple and our autopsy, Abbot Qingfeng did not die of disease, but of murder."

"Impossible! Abbot Qingfeng has been lying on the sickbed for more than half a year, and everyone in the temple knows about it. Died of murder? This is pure nonsense. ”

"I don't know what broke my heart, and put chronic medicine in Abbot Qingfeng's diet. He wanted to kill Abbot Qingfeng without a trace, but he didn't expect that Abbot Qingfeng's bones could also speak. ”

After hearing this, Abbot Xiuneng stopped talking, he lowered his head, unwilling to make eye contact with Zhao Zimeng again.

"As far as we know, Abbot Qingfeng's diet and daily life have always been your responsibility. The only person who poisons their diet is you. ”

Abbot Xiu Neng closed his eyes tightly and remained silent.

In the face of hard facts, Xiu Neng lowered his sinful head.

"Abbot Xiuneng, why don't you speak?"

In the face of the facts, the abbot of Xiu Neng has nothing to say.

"Abbot of Xiuneng, I still call you abbot, but what you do is worthy of being the master of a temple!"

In the face of Zhao Zimeng's reprimand, Xiu Neng not only did not raise his head, but lowered his head.

Zhao Zimeng stood up and walked to Xiu Neng.

"Xiu Neng, you have been an abbot for more than ten years, and you have read a lot of scriptures, you should know the ancient adage of 'the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore'. You should also know the truth that 'the legal net is restored, but negligence is not leaked'. If you harm others like this, and the victim is still your mentor and senior, and you secretly do things for your own selfish desires, causing your benefactor to die, can your conscience be at ease? ”

Xiu Neng suddenly choked up and sobbed, not moving much, but the people present could see clearly, his tears, snot and saliva mixed together.

Immediately after, his body began to tremble.

Zhao Zimeng didn't expect that the monk who saw through the red dust and the four major emptiness would also shed tears.

It can be seen that it is not only ordinary people who should repent in front of the Bodhisattva!

"Xiu Neng, our time is precious, quickly put away your sad appearance and answer my question."

Xiu Neng stopped choking, but his body was still shaking.

"Xiuneng, you look up."

Xiu Neng slowly raised his head and raised his hands at the same time, rubbing his sleeves on his face a lot, because he was handcuffed on his wrists.

Although Xiu Neng raised his head, his eyes wandered out of Zhao Zimeng's sight.

"Xiu Neng, how did Abbot Qingfeng die?"

"I drugged me to death." At this time, the abbot of Xiuneng finally gave up the hypocritical title of "old decay" and changed his name to "me".

"How do you do that?"

"I put chronic medicine in his diet."

"Why did you kill Abbot Qingfeng?"

"I have too much selfish desires, and I have coveted the abbot position for a long time."

"Abbot Qingfeng trusts and reuses you, so that you can leap from an ordinary monk to his acolyte, and then rise from an acolyte to a supervisor, aren't you satisfied, why do you want to harm him?"

"Abbot Qingfeng believes in me because I am diligent and hardworking. I did this to climb the abbot step by step. ”

"Abbot Qingfeng is old, he will pass on the position of abbot to you sooner or later, why are you so anxious to harm him?"

"I can't wait! It's so hard! I aspire to be an abbot, and only by being an abbot can I have peace of mind. ”

"In addition to the position of abbot, I'm afraid you are still thinking about other things in the abbot's temple!"

"Xiu Neng only thought about the dungeon and the things in the dungeon, this-Xiu Neng has already explained it before."

"Xiu Neng, why is there a secret room in your meditation room?"

"The Chamber of Secrets? How can it be? I've lived in the abbot's monastery for so many years, and I didn't know there was a secret room in the meditation room! Abbot Qingfeng didn't tell me about it! ”

Zhao Zimeng smiled: "Really? You're still lying! You, the abbot, don't even know. ”

"I'm not lying! Where's the Chamber of Secrets? Xiu Neng's eyes widened suddenly.

Zhao Zimeng didn't answer, he carefully observed Xiuneng's expression, this old Zen master was full of nonsense, and he was a master of acting.
