Chapter 15: Black Buddha
Meng Heizi is not a person who can't tell the difference between the important and the heavy. Jin Da is blind and dead, and we, as fellow believers, will definitely help arrange the aftermath, and it is possible that we will enter the city bureau to be investigated. It stands to reason that no matter what kind of work there is, it has to be put in the back, or Meng Heizi will pull the strings for others.
But now that Meng Heizi has said such a thing, I intuitively think that this life is wrong.
So we talked on the phone for a long time, and finally understood why Meng Heizi had to ask us to take this job. There is no other reason than that this matter is so important.
Because this living client is a certain deputy director of the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department.
The deputy director, surnamed Zhou, has been arresting a case of smuggling cultural relics. Later, antiquities dealers were caught in Inner Mongolia and a cultural relic was seized.
The artifact was a black Buddha, which looked strange, not like an orthodox Buddhist tradition. However, the police officer who handled the case was not a researcher of cultural relics, and since he had obtained the stolen goods, he was ready to drive people and things back to Hebei.
Who knew that the next day, three police officers and an antiquities dealer died on the road. It is said that their car was parked in the emergency parking strip of the highway and stopped all day. Later, the patrol officer on the highway found out that something was wrong, and after shouting a few times but not responding, he violently opened the car door.
It is said that when the car door was opened, one of the three police officers was driving, and two were guarding the antiquities dealer in the back. The antiquities dealer still has handcuffs on his hands. There was a box in the co-pilot's seat, and the box contained the Black Buddha.
The four died silently, as if they were asleep. There were no signs of damage to the body, and there were no toxic gas leaks in the car. Of course, this is only a superficial test, in fact, after the staff of the Hebei Provincial Public Security Department took over, they also carefully investigated, and the results were terrifying.
The reason why it is creepy is because the task force has no explanation for the cause of death of these four people at all. In other words, they had no idea how these four people had died on the highway for no apparent reason!
I chuckled in my heart when Meng Heizi said this, because as far as I know, any way of dying will be detected by modern instruments. Whether it's suffocation, poisoning, or internal or external injuries. But there is only one way that may not be detected.
That is the one who has no soul.
People have three souls and seven souls, and it is not uncommon to lose souls. Generally speaking, the three souls and seven spirits each have their own role. And some of the people who have lost their souls have become fools, some have become insane, some have been frail and sickly all year round, and some have been riddled with yin qi.
Legend has it that Jiang Ziya was worshiped by Yao Tianjun with a nail-headed seven-arrow book, and he was drowsy all day long. In the end, the soul left the body and almost died.
Zhang Wuren may have thought of this, he said, in fact, in addition to the soul leaving the body, there are many kinds of death methods that cannot be detected by modern equipment. But there may really be something wrong with that black Buddha, if we don't go, we will probably die.
I said, how did you know there was something wrong with that Black Buddha?
Zhang Wuren looked at me like an idiot and said, "Buddhism has a long history, and thousands of years of preaching have already divided Buddhism into many schools. Not to mention, just now it is divided into Tantra and Zen Buddhism, Tantra is divided into Yellow Sect, Red Sect, Flower Sect, etc., and Zen Buddhism is also divided into five schools and seven sects. The doctrine is the same, but the details are really different.
Among them, there is another sect called the Ghost Cult, also called the Dead Cult. They worship the Black Buddha.
The full name of the Black Buddha is called Little Black Heaven Immeasurable Bodhisattva, which is a kind of Bodhisattva dedicated to ghosts. The ghost cult was widely spread in the Ming and Qing dynasties, when there were many people who raised ghosts, and the number of people who were on the side of the door was innumerable, so the ghost sect was also a big sect at that time.
Legend has it that the Bodhisattva of the Little Black Sky can devour people's souls, and anyone who comes into contact with this Buddha statue will eventually lose their souls and die.
The Little Black Heaven Immeasurable Bodhisattva is not actually evil, and the reason why he devours the soul is because he wants to purify the filthy soul in the body, and after reaching a certain level, the soul will be released. But nothing can bear the use of people with intentions, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were masters who let people worship the Black Buddha, and after swallowing people's souls, they found a way to release it for my use.
I listened to Zhang Wuyan's words, and my face was full of disbelief. I said you wouldn't make up a story to coax me, would you? Where is such a bodhisattva?
Zhang Wuren was very helpless, saying that this was all said by Master Hongde, and I don't know if it's true or not. However, since the Black Buddha is in the hands of the Public Security Department, I am afraid that there will be deaths, and I am thinking that this job can allow us to connect with the people of the Public Security Department, and it is estimated that Meng Heizi also thought of this, so we have to make our own decisions.
I said, "Then we're going to take this job?" What to do with the corpse of the blind man of Kim?
Zhang Wuren slapped his thigh and said, take it! The funeral of the blind man of Jin Da was handled by Meng Heizi, and the death of this guy was originally related to Meng Heizi. This is an opportunity for us, and we must seize it!
That's what I thought too. In fact, the blind man is not related to us, if there is time, sending him on the last journey is our mind as a junior, but if there is no time, then don't blame us, after all, the dead have to create opportunities for the living.
So we called Meng Heizi and asked him to pick up the body of the blind man. By the way, I asked him to reply to Deputy Director Zhou, we took this job.
Meng Heizi breathed a sigh of relief and said, this work may be a bit dangerous, even the policemen have died several times, you had better be more mindful, if it really doesn't work, you can withdraw quickly. Jin Ye is dead, and only the two of you can provoke the girder in Shijiazhuang.
At noon, we met in the West Third Ring Road of Shijiazhuang, and after handing over the body of the blind man to Meng Heizi, we went straight to the Provincial Public Security Department. Meng Heizi gave us a phone number, saying that it was enough to contact this person when we got there. Specifically, you improvise.
We didn't go back, but found a hotel to open an hourly room, took a shower, and cleaned up before leaving. When I arrived at the Provincial Public Security Department, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
The Provincial Public Security Department was on Huai'an West Road, and when we arrived at the door, we dialed the phone number left by Meng Heizi. The other party was a girl who spoke very quickly, and after we said Meng Youtong's name, the other party said that she wanted us to wait a while, and she would come out immediately.
After only three to five minutes, a young girl in a police uniform came out in a hurry, waved at the sight of our car, said something to the guard, and we drove in.
The female police officer looks like she is twenty-four or five years old. Judging from the speed and movements of her speech, she is a very capable person. She frowned slightly when she saw the two of us, and said impatiently, where is the blind man of Jinda?
I thought about it for a while and understood that Huai'an West Road is the territory of Qiaoxi District, and the other party probably thought it was Jin Da who was blind, but I didn't expect it to be the two of us.
I said in my heart that if you look for Jin Da Blind, you can only go to the underworld. But Zhang Wuren said with a straight face, Jin Da Blind died last night, I am Zhang Wuren of Qiaodong District, hello.
The female police officer showed a look of surprise on her face and said, you are Zhang Wuren?
I said next to me, beauty, I am Zhang Wuren's partner, He Zhonghua, it's a pleasure to meet you.
The female police officer said, my surname is Lin, just call me Officer Lin. Okay, since Meng Heizi called you here, it means that you are not eating dry rice, come in!
I said in my heart that this Officer Lin is really straightforward, and it is really not easy for such a character to be promoted in the Provincial Public Security Department. Of course, if someone has a backstage, that's a different story.
Officer Lin led us into a conference room and threw us a stack of materials. She said, you also know that this kind of strange thing is strictly forbidden by us, so Deputy Director Zhou will not come forward. Here is all the information about the death of three police officers and one suspect, as well as the process of their mission. Look at it, ask me if there is anything you don't understand.
Zhang Wuren picked up the information and only glanced at it, and it was still on the table. He said, Officer Lin, we have already understood the basic situation, and now we have to take a look at the body of the deceased and the black Buddha.
Officer Lin looked at Zhang Wuren with no expression on his face, and after a long while, he said, Okay! But there may be a slight change in the corpse, so let's remind you first, don't be scared.
I'm joking, both of us have even done zombies, and the murderer's corpse clothes have been burned twice, how many corpses will you be afraid of? At that moment, Officer Lin was asked to take us to see the corpse.
Only after looking at the bodies can we determine what the cause of their death was.
The building behind the Provincial Public Security Department was where the bodies were parked. Because of the work requirements, it was built exactly to the standards of the hospital morgue. When we arrived, an old man with a sad face was smoking in the hallway.
When he saw Officer Lin coming, he hurriedly stepped on the cigarette butt and said, Officer Lin, you are finally here, there is an accident in the morgue......
Halfway through his speech, he glanced at the two of us with suspicious eyes, and Officer Lin said, they are here to check the body, what's wrong?
As soon as the old man heard that we were here to inspect the corpses, his face changed on the spot, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, Officer Lin, listen to the old man's advice, these corpses should be burned quickly! Otherwise, I'm afraid something big will happen!
Zhang Wuren and I glanced at each other on the spot, and said in our hearts,! There is something wrong with these dead people!
