Volume Two: The Case of the Red Lotus in the Ancient Temple Chapter 37: The Three Monks
However, the autopsy of a corpse cannot be rushed, especially for people who may have phosphorus on their bodies.
So Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu left the morgue. While arranging for people to prepare things for the autopsy, they asked Xing Qianqiu to bring Fa Wu, Fa Neng and Fa Ming.
There are some things that Duan Ming still wants to ask himself.
Speaking of which, the night patrol of Brahma Monastery should have been carried out by the monks of the Jingzi generation, but on the day of the Mufo Festival, the Jingzi monks had been busy all day, and they were all very tired.
Therefore, according to the rules of Brahma Xing Temple, the night patrol that day fell on Fawu, Faneng and Faming.
Soon Fawu and the other three arrived at Xing Qianqiu's room in the North Courtyard.
"Are you the night patrol on the Mufo Festival?" Duan Ming looked at the three people in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
The three of them, Fawu, are all middle-aged men in their forties. The monks' robes they wear look like they have been worn for many years, and are completely different from those worn by monks of the Jingzi generation whom they see in the daytime.
This shows that monks of the Dharma generation are not living a very good life in this Brahmacharya temple.
"Amitabha." Faming said, "It was the three young monks that day."
"Oh, we have to take care of the Buddha Festival during the day and patrol at night. The three masters have worked hard." Duan Ming said with a smile.
"Amitabha, there is a Pure Dharma on the Mufo Festival, and many monks from the Pure Heart generation are working hard, so we are not very tired." Faneng smiled and said: "Patrols at night are also part of our duties."
"Oh, the three masters are so righteous and worthy of being Buddhist cultivators." Duan Ming nodded: "By the way, this Brahma Temple is so huge. How long does it take for the three masters to inspect it?"
"It doesn't take long." Faming explained: "Buddhism is a pure place, and the people who live there are all dedicated to worshiping Buddha. Patrolling at night is just to look around to see if any doors and windows are open, the stove fire is not extinguished, and the pilgrims are not there.
Just return. Moreover, the young monk and others do not need to walk through the entire temple. The three courtyards in the east, south and north are the residences of pilgrims, so it is not inconvenient for the young monk and others to come and disturb them."
"Therefore, the three young monks only need to come and have a look around the main hall every once in a while."
"How often? How often?" Duan Ming asked again.
"Walk once every hour." Fa Ming said.
"Oh, I wonder what you saw in Xu Shi?" Duan Ming said.
"Xiao Monk and others were patrolling around Xu time and didn't see anything unusual," Fa Ming said.
"But when Jingfa came to look for me before, he said that around 1:00 a.m. that night, he saw the Holy Mother with Red Lotus in red clothes in the temple. Did you really not see it?" Duan Ming asked again.
"I didn't see it." Fa Wu and the other three looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Well, maybe he remembered the time wrongly. The Holy Mother of Red Lotus had already left when you came to patrol." Duan Ming said: "By the way, the Mirror Division asked you before, and you said you didn't see anyone that day.
People, but the Jingfa method is to go to the Main Hall to check the doors and windows around Xu Shi, and you patrolled around Xu Shi, so you never met each other?"
"No." Fawu shook his head.
"That's it." Duan Ming nodded: "I'm sorry, I have more questions, and I have one more question."
"Amitabha, it's okay for the donor to just say it." Fa Ming said, "The young monk and others must know everything and say it."
"That's good." Duan Ming said with a smile: "You said that your responsibility at night is to check whether the doors and windows are closed tightly. On the day of Jingfa, you said that you were worried that the doors and windows of the Main Hall were not closed tightly and went to check. Why is this? You don't care about the Main Hall.
Of?"
"Huh." Hearing this, Fawu snorted coldly, and Faneng hurriedly tugged on his clothes.
"Oh? Master Fawu has something to say?" Duan Ming asked.
"I have nothing to say." Faneng said hurriedly: "Maybe it's just that I can't trust the three monks in Jingfa."
"Master Fa Neng, please don't answer for Master Fa Wu." Duan Ming said: "Master Fa Wu said what he wanted to say several times, but you stopped him. Could it be that..."
"Amitabha, monks don't lie." When Fawu heard this, he glared at Faneng, and then said: "Donor, that Jingfa didn't go to check the doors and windows, it was just to collect money."
"Collect money?" Duan Ming said with a smile: "Is it possible that Dharma enlightenment can still get money out of the Buddha's merit box?"
"Of course I don't dare, but Jing Dharma and Jing Xin take care of many matters of the Buddha Mud Festival, and they themselves are not short of a little gold and silver." Fawu said: "That day, I saw many times that someone would use gold and silver.
The jewels were stuffed into Jingfa, and Jingfa hid the gold and silver jewels behind the golden Buddha. When everyone had gone back to rest at the time of Xu, he deliberately came to take them out."
"Amitabha, if he did such an filthy thing in front of the Buddha, isn't he afraid that the Buddha will blame him?" Fawu looked a little angry.
"Fa Wu be careful what you say!" Faneng on the side finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Donor, what Fa Wu said is all speculation, please forget it."
"How can I forget?" Xing Qianqiu suddenly interrupted: "Fa Neng, are you going too far?"
"Little monk..." Faneng was startled, and his face instantly turned pale.
"Why did the Mirror Division invite you here? Do you want to chat?" Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "You have repeatedly stopped us from getting clues and prevented Master Fawu from speaking. What are you thinking!"
Having said this, Xing Qianqiu suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist: "Fa Neng, could it be that you did this! That's why you are so secretive!"
"No, it's not a young monk! It's really not..." Faneng was so frightened that he trembled all over and shook his head repeatedly.
"Amitabha!" At this moment, Fa Ming on the side finally spoke: "It's better not to scare Fa Ming anymore. We have no choice."
"Tell me, what is the last resort?" Duan Ming slowly stood up and said with a smile on his face.
"Sigh." Fa Ming gritted his teeth: "In this Brahma Temple, the status of monks of my generation is quite low. If I talk nonsense, I'm afraid I will get into trouble."
"Haha, that's ridiculous." Xing Qianqiu sneered: "You, Mr. Fa, are the second most eminent monks after Mr. Xuan in this Brahma Temple. How can you say that your status is low?"
"Amitabha, monks don't lie." Faming sighed again: "In this Brahma Temple, in addition to Abbot Xuanbei, even the three uncles Xuanku, Xuannan and Xuanjing have to listen to the pure Dharma.
, the control of a pure heart!”
"Oh? Have their power reached this level?" Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu looked at each other and said solemnly.
"This is..." Fa Ming nodded and was about to speak when he saw a sudden light rising from the window.
"It's gone, it's gone!" Ming Jingsi's voice sounded outside the door. Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu looked at each other and rushed out.
The flames soaring into the sky illuminated the entire north courtyard, and the power of the raging fire was unparalleled.
And what was burning was nowhere else but the morgue where Jingfa’s body was stored!
