Volume 2: The Red Lotus Case of the Ancient Temple Chapter 58: Storytelling (2)
"If it's Master of Pure Heart, everything will make sense."
"Master Pure Heart is in charge of the power in the temple, and it is simply too simple to do something about reshaping the Golden Buddha."
Some people said that they had witnessed a dispute between Master Pure Heart and Master Pure Dharma over a jade pendant that day, and the relationship between the two of them was not good because they fought for power in the temple on weekdays. It is understandable that Master Pure Dharma made up lies in order to attack Master Pure Heart, and Master Pure Heart killed people in order to take revenge on Master Pure Mind. ”
"If you go along this line of thinking, everything looks fine."
"However, there are a few doubts that I have never been able to understand." Duan Ming said.
"What's the doubt?" Xu Shizhong was fascinated by what he heard and couldn't help asking.
"First, even if Master Pure Heart likes to wear a red dress and dance, why don't you go to your room or a secluded place, but run to the front of the Mahavira Hall to let Master Pure Dharma see?"
"Second, even if there is a grudge against the Pure Heart and Pure Method, even if the Pure Heart Master really wants to kill the Pure Dharma Master, why would he do it at such a tense moment?"
"This ...... That's true. Li Wan'er nodded: "These are indeed suspicious points. ”
"Of course, this is only a minor doubt." Duan Ming said with a smile: "Maybe Master Pure Heart just likes to dance in front of the Golden Buddha in a red dress?" Maybe Master Pure Heart just wanted to kill the Pure Fa at that time? Not completely unexplainable. But it has always been like a thorn in my heart. ”
"Later, when the morgue caught fire and Master Purification's body was burned, it seemed that everything had settled, but this thorn in my heart became more and more uncomfortable." Duan Ming said: "I was thinking, why? Why did you burn Master Purify's body? What exactly is its purpose? ”
"And it wasn't until I finally figured it out. It's actually very simple, very simple. Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "Because the murderer must let the Pure Law see those!" And we must let the Pure Dharma tell us that, and only tell us! ”
"Mr. Duan, you've confused me, what's going on?" Xu Shizhong shouted.
"It's very simple, the murderer, that is, the old monk, deliberately came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall in a red dress to let the pure law see it." Duan Ming said: "The old monk is very aware of the character of the Pure Fa, and understands that the Pure Dharma will inevitably return to the Daxiong Treasure Hall that night to retrieve the property, so he deliberately put on a red dress and waited there. ”
"In other words, whether or not Master Pure Heart really likes to wear a red dress, it was not Master Pure Heart who wore the red dress that night, but an old monk."
"That day and night, the old monk first wore a red dress and let the pure law see him, and then after the pure law left, he tore off the gold leaf on the golden Buddha, revealing the specially transformed Buddha underneath."
"The whole body of this Buddha is plated with a layer of copper, and words are written on it with iron juice."
Then he set a fire and burned the entire hall of the Mahavira Temple. Under the action of high-temperature combustion, copper and iron turned black and red respectively, that is, they became the golden Buddha turned black and the blood word proverb we saw at the beginning! ”
After that, the old monk waited quietly, waiting for the arrival of the Spiegel Division and the report of the Pure Law. After the Purifier had said what he had said that day, in order to prevent him from seeing more or remembering more on that day, he killed the Purifier! ”
"As for the way to kill the Pure Law, it's also very simple, he just borrowed white phosphorus." Duan Ming said: "On that day, the Pure Law suddenly spontaneously combusted in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and a faint green flame ignited all over the body accompanied by the smell of garlic, which was not caused by the Red Lotus Virgin, but because of white phosphorus. ”
"I thought that the old monk must have arranged it that day, and handed over the clothes with white phosphorus to the Jingfa, and the Jingfa did not suspect him, so he put them on." Duan Ming said: "Now that the time is close to autumn, the morning is cool, and the pure method standing outside will not reach the ignition point of white phosphorus. However, after entering the Daxiong Treasure Hall, firstly, the pure Dharma had a slight fluctuation in his mood because of the sight of the Black Buddha, and secondly, the people in the Daxiong Treasure Hall gathered, and the temperature was higher than that of the outside world, so the ignition point of white phosphorus was reached, which made the white phosphorus spontaneously combust. ”
"In this way, it looks like the pure method suddenly spontaneously combusted."
"Of course, there must have been other hands and feet on the clothes, such as leaving a mechanism in the clothes, and using iron powder to hide the red lotus pattern on the chest, so that the iron powder will be adsorbed to the chest of the pure law under the action of white phosphorus combustion, and then the blood lotus pattern will be formed."
"However, this method is not without its flaws, as I said before, the dark green flame and the smell of garlic are flaws. And the biggest flaw is in the internal organs of the deceased. ”
"The smoke produced by the burning of white phosphorus is highly toxic, and if I dissect the pure method, it is very likely that I will find clues on the organs of the pure method."
"So when the old monk heard that I was going to perform an autopsy, he was ruthless, burned the entire morgue, and completely burned the corpse of the pure law inside, so that I could not find out!"
"It's too ruthless." Xu Shizhong's eyes widened and muttered.
"It's really ruthless." Duan Ming nodded: "But at that time, the fire suddenly rose, and I was very puzzled, what means were used?" ”
"Later, I found a piece of metal in the ruins, and I suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the murderer should have put white phosphorus in an iron container, and then threw it into the room while the Spiegel people were not looking."
"When the container hits the ground, it opens automatically, and white phosphorus splashes out, and when the temperature rises slightly, it ignites the whole room."
"Since the fire originally formed inside the house, the people of Spiegel did not notice it at first. By the time it was discovered, the fire was out of control. ”
Speaking of this, Duan Ming's gaze looked at Fa Wu, Fa Neng, and Fa Ming, and then said in a deep voice: "Three masters, am I right?" ”
"Amitabha!" The faces of the three masters suddenly turned pale.
"I think about it, it seems that there are only three masters who can do this quietly." Duan Ming said: "After all, the three masters were invited to interrogate, and the people of the Spiegel Division should not pay too much attention to the three masters. ”
"Immeasurable immortality! Mr. Duan's story is very good, but it's just a story. The Lord of the Hall of Forgetfulness said in a deep voice.
"Of course, I'm talking about the story, and I'm not done yet!" Duan Ming said with a smile: "The best story is always behind, isn't it?" ”
"Mr. Duan, please continue!" Li Wan'er said.
"That's right, Mr. Duan." Xing Qianqiu also said in a deep voice: "We're all waiting to hear it!" ”
