After listening to Lin Qianyi's narration, I frowned and asked: "So, this Buddha statue killed people hundreds of years ago? But that's not right. Since the Buddha statue killed Qing soldiers, why didn't it kill people?
Are the monks of Jiashan Temple killed together with the common people? Is it just because of the ghost of Li Zicheng that the Buddha statue kills people?"
After thinking about it, I denied my guess: "No, we are not Qing soldiers. If it is really Li Zicheng's ghost that is possessed by the Buddha statue, why would it kill us again?"
Lin Qianyi shook her head and said, "I don't know either. But the monk Na Zhike once wrote in a book that he later asked the abbot what happened when the abbot was alone outside? The abbot just answered
He said a word."
"What words?"
"The Buddha opens his eyes..."
The Buddha opens his eyes? What does this mean?
Before I had time to think about it, Lin Qianyi continued: "After we found this diary, we began to track the whereabouts of the Buddha statue. Not long after, we really found the same name in the daily notes of Emperor Shunzhi.
A record related to the Buddha statue."
It turned out that the commander-in-chief of the Qing army who kidnapped the Buddha statue immediately took the Buddha statue to Beijing to be worshiped as a saint after getting the Buddha statue, and presented the Buddha statue mixed with Li Zicheng's flesh and blood to Emperor Shunzhi. Emperor Shunzhi heard about this Buddha statue and
It was made of Li Zicheng's flesh and blood, and was incorporated into the royal family as one of the Qing court's collections. Finally, it was abducted overseas while in the Old Summer Palace.
Lin Qianyi finally said: "In fact, there are many things in this world that science and even the theory of ghosts cannot explain. If we really want to investigate, it is like you asked me why only humans in this world have developed their own
Civilization, no one can give you the correct answer. And the purpose of our 749 Bureau is to recycle or dispose of these events or objects that humans cannot understand before the public discovers them. My task in the Bureau is to according to our
Based on the information obtained, we must first confirm the authenticity of these things before sending out recovery troops.”
"I will come to Hong Kong with you this time because the bureau found documents about this Buddha statue and investigated that the Buddha statue is now in the hands of Boss Li. After inspecting the Buddha statue that day, I thought this time it would be the same as usual.
, it was just a false alarm. Because at that time, there was nothing special about the Buddha statue at all. But I didn’t expect that the next day, when I was going to the airport and preparing to go back, I actually saw the collection hall.
There are reports of a murder...maybe you can guess what happens next?"
I nodded, knowing what she said, and after considering what I meant, I analyzed: "After you saw the report of the murder, you immediately thought of the rumors about the Buddha statue. So you stayed and wanted to sneak in again.
Are you here to confirm the truth of the matter? There were police everywhere here a few days ago, and it was inconvenient for you to come in, so after confirming that today...no, it should be last night, after the police left, I came here again."
"The entrance we found in the toilet is the trace you left when you came in. You may be afraid that we will find you, so you have been hiding in this dark room when something happened outside."
Lin Qianyi nodded: "You guessed most of it right. In fact, I sneaked in here on the first day after the murder. But there was nothing abnormal about the Buddha statue at that time, otherwise the policemen who checked here would have died long ago.
It's impossible that I didn't find anything. After that day, I installed monitors in several places in the collection hall, and I have been hiding upstairs in this building to observe here. Until midnight today, I found everything
The monitors all lost their signal, so I guessed something might have happened here again, but when I came down to see it, it turned out to be the case..."
What Lin Qianyi said explained why she came here in the middle of the night and her own secret, but I am still a little strange.
"According to what you said, you already guessed that something was wrong with the Buddha statue when we arrived. Why didn't you come out earlier to warn us? If you had come out earlier, Wang Daquan and the others would not have died!"
Facing my question, Lin Qianyi sighed several times, and finally retorted: "Do you think I don't want to? But Wang Daquan and the others have determined that this matter was done by a thief who wanted to steal the Buddha statue! Your conversation
, I heard everything clearly. Why do you think I am hiding in this dark room? It’s because I’m worried that you will blame everything here on me!”
I opened my mouth to refute her, but found that I couldn't find a reason at all.
The situation at that time, if Lin Qianyi really appeared in front of us rashly and told the truth, I am afraid that Wang Daquan and the others would not believe her until they saw the Buddha killing someone with their own eyes.
Lin Qianyi continued: "Originally, I thought that today's time would be the same as the one a few days ago, that the Buddha statue would calm down after killing two people, but I don't know why, the Buddha statue would kill people whenever he saw it! It's not like that
There was no sign of stopping! By the time I noticed something was wrong with the noise outside, there were already corpses everywhere!”
After hearing Lin Qianyi's words, I suddenly thought of something.
That's time!
The two cleaners who died first this time, and the two security guards who died last time, both died after midnight! The death times of the two groups of people are so similar, is there any possibility among them?
What connection?
Unable to help myself, all the questions that have been in my mind these days were connected with the clues that Lin Qianyi provided just now, which gave me a hint of enlightenment.
Just when I was about to figure out the joint, Lin Qianyi suddenly exclaimed: "Lin Sijiu, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Eye?
I was stunned for a moment, and then I saw Lin Qianyi taking out a small mirror from her backpack.
Is her backpack Doraemon's pocket? Why does it have everything?
I muttered something in my mind and looked in the mirror.
This sight shocked me, because at this moment, the pupil of my right eye turned blood red, and the white part of the eye was completely filled with blood-like red, just like a ghost in a horror movie
Same, indescribably weird and terrifying.
After seeing the blood-colored pupils, I suddenly realized that my right eye was now swollen and uncomfortable, as if all the blood in my body was concentrated there.
It starts again!
Since eleven years ago, my right eye has turned red uncontrollably again!
I immediately reached out to cover my right eye and lowered my head, not wanting Lin Qianyi to see the expression on my face.
"No, it's okay. I'm probably too tired these past few days and my eyes are a little bloodshot."
"But you..."
I quickly raised my head and changed the subject: "Ms. Lin, you said before that you have installed monitors here during the past few days when the police blocked the collection hall. So can you tell me, during the past few days when the police came?
Here, when did they all leave?"
She recalled for a moment and then said: "Although the police cordoned off the scene for three days, their searches were mainly concentrated on the first day. Because the place was so big, the forensics department stayed there until the evening after the report was made.
go."
Her words confirmed my guess from the side, and I quickly asked: "What about the next two days? Did the police stay here until midnight?"
Lin Qianyi shook her head: "No. Crime scene investigations in Hong Kong are usually carried out by the forensics department. Other than that, ordinary police officers have no knowledge in this area. In the past few days when the scene was blocked, this
All the elevators entering and exiting the museum were closed by the police, and no one came down."
"If I guess correctly, when you came down to check the Buddha statue and install the monitor, it was not until midnight, right?"
"Yes. What's wrong? What did you think of?"
"Um."
Thanks to that right eye that turned red again, I already had my first guess about that damn Buddha statue.
"If what I think is correct, this Buddha statue will not continue to move forever!"
"Why?"
Lin Qianyi looked at me with confusion, not understanding why I said that.
While sorting out my thoughts, I explained to her in a calm tone: "Time! Think about it, in the first Buddha statue murder case, the police judged that their death time should be after twelve o'clock, and the second time, it was also
The time of death of the two cleaners today was also just past twelve o'clock. If these two coincidences don't explain the problem, then after the first murder case, the police and you came in and out of this collection.
So many times and so many people hanging around in front of the Buddha statue, why are you completely fine? Don’t you think the reason for this is actually time?”
"This damn Buddha statue will only start killing people after midnight. Moreover, it will most likely lose its ability to move at six or seven o'clock in the morning and turn into an ordinary Buddha statue."
Lin Qianyi was obviously stunned by what I said. After a while, she said: "Doesn't that mean that as long as we stay here until morning, we can escape from here safely?
?”
"Maybe."
I nodded, but I didn't think it would be that simple.
Judging from the current situation, in addition to time constraints, this Buddha statue seems to have other abilities. For example, when the Buddha statue starts to move, it seems to interfere with the surrounding lights and monitors. Also,
It seemed to be very fast. At that time, the Buddha statue was clearly behind me and Jiang Kai, but in the blink of an eye, it ran in front of us and killed all the people who fled to the elevator. It was as if it could teleport.
Same……
No! It’s not that simple, that Buddha statue can obviously teleport!
I quickly said to Lin Qianyi: "I wonder if you know something. The Buddha statue seems to have other abilities..."
As soon as I finished speaking, the lights in the dark room suddenly started to flicker.
At the same time, a chill immediately ran down my spine.
The lights in the dark room began to flicker. According to my previous inference, doesn't that mean that the Buddha statue is near us?
At this moment, I noticed that Lin Qianyi in front of me suddenly stood up. She looked at me with wide eyes and opened her mouth: "You mean...teleport?"
Hearing Lin Qianyi's words, I suddenly realized a problem. She was not looking at me now, but staring behind me!
But besides the pile of boxes, there is nothing else behind me? So what she is looking at is...
That Buddha statue!?
I quickly turned my head, and sure enough I saw, just a few meters behind me, the murderous Buddha statue, standing there quietly!
