I raised my head and glanced at Lin Qianyi, and then opened the ID book. The photo above was indeed Lin Qianyi herself.
However, after seeing the contents of this certificate, I concluded that Lin Qianyi was lying to me!
This is the first time I have seen a so-called national security document with my own eyes. Naturally, it is impossible to tell whether this document is authentic or not. However, there is one content in this document that is obviously inconsistent with the facts stated by Lin Qianyi.
This contradictory content is on the certificate. Under Lin Qianyi’s photo, there is a line of small words written: First Bureau of the Ministry of National Security.
It was this small line of writing that made me feel that Lin Qianyi had lied to me.
In fact, I have seen some public information from the Ministry of National Security on the Internet. It clearly states that the first bureau under the Ministry of National Security is actually just a confidential bureau. The person responsible for Hong Kong and Macao affairs should actually be the fourth bureau.
The situation is right!
Therefore, if Lin Qianyi is really from the Ministry of National Security, then her ID should also say that it is the fourth bureau, at least not the first bureau, which is only responsible for handling internal affairs!
When I threw this doubt out, Lin Qianyi showed an expression of disbelief on her face: "Are you really just a small security guard? Oh my god, just with your observation skills, even if you say that you are also a member of the Ministry of National Security
I will believe it."
I suppressed the little pride that arose in my heart, bit my lip hard, pretended not to be interested in her compliment, and continued to wait for Lin Qianyi to give me the real answer.
When Lin Qianyi saw that I didn't respond, she sighed: "Okay. I didn't expect that something would be exposed here. It seems that I will report this issue when I get back..."
Next, she raised her head and her voice sounded serious and serious as never before.
"Lin Sijiu, what I'm going to say next, you must never tell anyone in the future."
Seeing me nodding, she finally said frankly: "Actually, my true identity is an investigator from the 749 Bureau. I am a member of the Third Section of the Investigation Division."
749 rounds? This time, I believed what Lin Qianyi said, because I had never heard of this 749 rounds. If Lin Qianyi wanted to continue to lie to me, there was no need to make up a story from
An organization that no one has ever heard of came to lie to me. If she really wanted to do that, she might as well be a member of the Chinese Dragon Group.
"Bureau 749? What kind of organization is that?"
"To put it simply, it means discovering, investigating and dealing with all the incredible mysterious phenomena and objects that occur in the country. For example, the murderous Buddha statue outside is the target of my investigation this time."
"That Buddha statue... So that's really your purpose?" I asked.
"Yes." Lin Qianyi smiled, "In order to keep it confidential, we will borrow the identities of other units during our usual investigations. This time I pretended to be an associate professor at the university so that I could come to Hong Kong with you.
The best thing is to be able to confirm the whereabouts of this Buddha statue with your own eyes.
However, I originally planned to go back after confirming that the Buddha statue was here, but who knew that a murder occurred here the next day. In order to confirm the relationship between the murder and the Buddha statue, I stayed...
"
I interrupted: "You suspected a few days ago that the Buddha statue was related to the murder case? What is it? A ghost? A ghost? Or a monster?"
"We didn't know it at first. In fact, I came here because of a manuscript we found in a temple in the past."
Lin Qianyi said and took out another photo from her backpack.
It was a photo of a certain page of an ancient book. It was densely covered with some traditional Chinese characters, and the handwriting was also very sloppy. It should be some kind of ancient font.
I took a look and gave it back to Lin Qianyi, saying that I didn’t understand.
So she explained to me: "This is actually the diary of a Zhike monk in a temple in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The Zhike monk once recorded a very strange story in this diary..."
…
The second year of Shunzhi coincided with great changes in China and constant wars. Ten rooms in various places in China were empty. The Shimen Jiashan Temple, which used to be full of incense, also gradually fell into ruins in this chaos, and there were only a few houses left.
However, one day in these troubled times, a strange man greeted him outside the mountain gate.
At that time, the Zhike monk in the diary happened to be the first monk to see the man. He saw that the man was in his forties, had one eye, and was carrying a big baggage. He spoke with a northern Shaanxi accent and spoke vulgarly, but he was dressed in a very elegant way.
It also seemed like he belonged to a wealthy and noble family; his whole body was obviously covered in wounds and he was in a terrible state, but he still had an aura of majesty when he walked around, not like a mortal.
However, when the one-eyed man entered the mountain gate, he was already covered in blood, and the smell of blood hit his nose. He was so frightened that the guest monk shouted for help.
This call attracted the abbot of Jiashan Temple.
The abbot of Jiashan Temple was nearly seventy years old at that time. He had seen countless people in his life. He was not as panicked as the monk who knew the guest. Instead, he chanted the name of the Buddha and asked the name of the visitor.
However, what surprised the monk Zhike was that the one-eyed man neither came to burn incense nor to worship the Buddha. Instead, he told lies that he wanted to make a fortune with the temple.
With that said, the one-eyed man threw the package he carried on his back on the ground.
The package fell to the ground and spread out, revealing what was inside, but it turned out to be a lot of yellow and white stuff.
The world was in chaos and the mountain gate was poor. Even the monks at that time had a hard time. So when he saw the gold and silver in the package, Zhike Monk was the first to lose his concentration and ran to open the package completely.
At first glance, everyone was stunned. Because there was probably no less than a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver hidden in the package.
Seeing the gold and silver, the abbot of Jiashan Temple immediately asked everyone onlookers to leave the place. Only the Zhike monk, who was blinded by the money, hid secretly aside.
But it was precisely because of this that he learned a big secret that followed! The true identity of the one-eyed man was the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng who disappeared in Jiugong Mountain not long ago!
A few months ago, Li Zicheng's army escaped into the Jiugong Mountain to avoid the pursuit of the Qing court. Unexpectedly, some of his subordinates had secretly communicated with the Qing court and wanted to kill them by pretending to be common people. After Li Zicheng went through hardships, he finally
He escaped from the rebels and fled all the way to Jiashan Temple.
Although he was able to escape, Li Zicheng was seriously injured along the way. He knew that he did not have much time left, and he did not want his body to fall into the hands of the Qing army and repeat the mistake he made when he paraded Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian through the streets, so he wanted to
You should ask the abbot to have your body cremated and cast into a Buddha statue.
Casting a Buddha in the flesh is a treatment that only an eminent monk can enjoy. Naturally, it is impossible for the abbot of Jiashan Temple to agree to this.
But who would have thought that before the abbot could say more, he saw blood splattering everywhere, and Li Zicheng had already drawn his sword and killed himself in front of him.
The abbot of Jiashan Temple may have felt pity for Li Zicheng, a generation of kings, but ended up like this, and finally decided to fulfill his dying wish.
So from that day on, the abbot sent people to take the gold and silver left by Li Zicheng, buy copper blocks from everywhere, and began to cast Buddha statues for him.
Of course, no one in the entire Jiashan Temple except the abbot and the Zhike monk knew that this new Buddha statue actually contained Li Zicheng's flesh and blood.
The story doesn't end here yet.
On the day the Buddha statue was cast, a group of Qing soldiers followed a large number of fleeing people and broke into Jiashan Temple.
That group of people wanted to take refuge in Jiashan Temple because they were involved in the war, while the Qing soldiers wanted to rob the property of the victims hiding here.
In order to save the lives of the people, the abbot of Jiashan Temple had to take out the gold and silver left by Li Zicheng in exchange for the Qing soldiers to retreat.
However, the greed of the Qing soldiers seemed to have no limit. Not only did they obtain gold and silver, they also refused to let go of other property in the temple. Not only did they rob the temple of incense that had been accumulated for many years, they even took away the Buddha statues in the temple.
Go, and the Buddha statue built for Li Zicheng is naturally among them.
Late that night, the Qing soldiers who had already plundered almost everything set up camp in the temple, preparing to bring their belongings back to the camp early in the morning, while the monks and common people in the temple were imprisoned in the empty main hall.
At that time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had just entered the Central Plains. In order to establish legitimacy, the Qing court had ordered not to plunder people's property at will. However, wherever the Qing soldiers went, looting and looting occurred from time to time, and many Qing soldiers would still rob people.
After taking away the property, they killed all the robbed people to destroy the evidence.
Therefore, all the monks and people in the temple at that time thought that their lives would be short-lived.
But at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside the hall.
Outside the main hall, as if someone was knocking bones, crisp crackling sounds continued, one after another, occasionally mixed with the howling of ghosts and wolves from the Qing soldiers, which could not be heard without interruption.
The incident happened in a flash of lightning. Everyone in the hall was too frightened to go out. Only the abbot of Jiashan Temple left the hall.
After the abbot returned, everyone realized that all the Qing soldiers in the temple had died in an instant.
Perhaps out of curiosity, the guest monk slipped out and took a look, but he was so frightened that he ran back because he saw that outside the main hall, there were headless corpses all over the ground, and nearly a hundred Qing soldiers.
No one was spared, and among the pile of corpses, the Buddha statue mixed with Li Zicheng's flesh and blood was standing there speechlessly...
In that era, whenever a Qing soldier was accidentally killed, other Qing troops would take revenge. As expected, not long after those Qing soldiers died, a Qing army general led a large army into Jiashan Temple and demanded that the murderer be handed over.
murderer.
Nazhi Keseng thought that they were in danger, because at that time, even the people in the temple did not know how those Qing soldiers died, and it was impossible to talk about handing over the murderer.
But when the Qing soldiers were about to kill everyone in the temple, the abbot of Jiashan Temple suddenly handed over the Buddha statue and told the Qing army commander that this Buddha statue was the murderer!
Naturally, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army would not believe such nonsense, but after handing over the Buddha statue, the abbot of Jiashan Temple whispered a few words to the commander-in-chief.
Zhike Monk didn't know what the abbot said, but right after that, the commander-in-chief let them all go and left Jiashan Temple with only the Buddha statue.
