Chapter 14 Chapter Thirteen Miracles

It's Xue Ying. This person, who was grandly introduced, was obviously a prominent figure in the Holy Maiden's Church. She was a nurse in a maternity and infant hospital back then. She got along happily with Zhou Xianxian. Ying. Director Fat didn't fool me, this Saintess Cult is really related to Huang Zhi's murder.Seeing Xue Ying and thinking of the missing Zhou Xianxian, I couldn't help but have some associations with the religious name of this cult. Xue Ying spread lotus flowers with her tongue on the stage, and her demeanor was really different. After the fat man's foreshadowing, Xue Ying began to talk about faith.

"I know that many people in the audience today have just suffered setbacks, but in this world, who has never experienced setbacks. The difference is that they have just suffered setbacks, or have suffered setbacks, or are about to suffer setbacks. Look, No matter how painful you are, it's actually such a common thing." Xue Ying's voice was deep and slightly hoarse. She might have said these words many times, but it still sounded like that now. "Why does an ordinary thing make us suffer so much? It's because we care too much about certain things, and because we care, we hurt. But are those things really so important? Think about the things we were born with What was before. What will be after death? In just a few decades, what is really important.

"What really touches people's hearts is only feelings. One's own feelings for oneself, one's feelings for others, and others' feelings for others. Apart from this, everything is empty. Isn't it? A strange stone collector in the Gobi Find a stone on the beach that is inconspicuous to others, but it is a dream for him. A child finds a beautiful and unique shell on the beach. A gold digger finds pure gold in a stream. Their instant love Isn't it very similar, and it doesn't matter whether it is stone, shell or gold that makes them have such emotions. "So, most of the things in this world, or even everything in this world, are irrelevant and illusory. Only the little mind in oneself is real. Knowing this, those winds and storms encountered in life Neither rain nor rain can hit you."

Xue Ying talked endlessly, but I gradually became a little strange in my heart.What she said is getting closer and closer to the world of idealism.This means that the teachings of the Saintess are also inclined to idealism.But this is not in line with the usual situation of cult worship. Generally speaking, cults involve personality worship, and their teachings are all positive and fanatical.Idealism, on the other hand, is something so negative that it can't be more negative. She talked for a long time, but she didn't mention anything about the "saint". How does such a religion rely on to unite the believers?If there is no cohesion among believers, whether it is an orthodox or a cult, it means rapid decline. "There are many friends around me. We have our own views on life and the world. These views allow us to walk on the road of life bravely, not afraid of any wind and rain. We have a name in this small circle, this The name is 'Holy Maiden'. Why is it called 'Holy Maiden'? Today, I will tell you something. If you think this is a harmonious and friendly environment, and you are willing to come again next time, you will know. The biggest problem for Chinese people now is that there is no Faith. Fortunately, we now have our own firm beliefs, and I sincerely hope you will join in."

Xue Ying concluded her speech, or sermon, with this passage.But today's gathering did not end there. The audience formed small circles one after another, and began to share today's harvest, not to mention encouraging those newcomers who came for the first time to share their recent setbacks, so that "relax". Yuan Ji pulled me into a circle of about 20 people, and then spoke one by one.Not long after, Xue Ying also appeared. She seemed to just come to listen, but was immediately stopped by the old believers, begging her to make a final speech later. When it was my turn, I told the story of love change that I made up, which won everyone's comforting eyes.I can't help but briefly talk about my background, so I'll just say the truth, I'm a reporter.When talking about this profession, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a slight change in Xue Ying's expression, and Yuan Ji was also a little surprised.He asked me what I did, but I vaguely dealt with it.

When she spoke, it was nothing more than a further development of what was said on the stage just now based on what everyone in this small circle said.After speaking, everyone applauded, and then she left. At this time, all the circles were basically over. Yuan Ji took me to exchange a few words with others, and then prepared to leave.At this moment a man ran over and whispered something to him in a low voice.He then asked me to wait, and then ran to another corner of the classroom. I looked along and found that Xue Ying was waiting for him. Xue Ying talked to him a few words, saw me looking at them, and nodded slightly to me.

Did my status as a reporter make Xue Ying feel relieved?I originally wanted to talk about a less sensitive occupation, but after seeing Xue Ying appearing, I changed my mind.She may have seen me when I went to interview a maternity baby three years ago. If she had a good memory, it would be self-defeating to make up a false identity. After Yuan Ji came back, he didn't say much, which made me a little uneasy. Walking out of the teaching building, the oxygen content of the blowing night wind is obviously more than that in the lecture hall.Yuan Ji and I walked together, across the playground, towards the school gate.

"That's a lot. Tonight, how do you feel in general?" "The atmosphere is quite good, but it feels a little strange, probably because I have never attended a similar party before." As a reporter, you have to be sensitive to this point, otherwise it will be too fake. "Participate a few times, and you will gradually integrate. In fact, we are a church organization, and everyone has a common belief." "Ah?" I didn't expect Yuan Ji to turn over his hole cards so quickly. "Don't worry. We are not a cult." Yuan Ji said hurriedly, "Originally, if you come here a few times, you will naturally know, but just now Master Xue asked me to tell you directly, don't cover up. Do what you do Yes, well-informed, whether our beliefs are true or not, you will soon find out." I took a deep breath, what will happen next?

First, the public prosecutor of the prosecution read out a long indictment, which lasted more than 20 minutes.I kept my heart hanging, watched all directions, listened to all directions, and only relaxed a little when he finished reading and it was Lu Wanqiang who confessed the crime.What Lu Wanqiang said did not surprise me at all, it was exactly the same as what he told me in the detention center. —— I saw Huang Zhi when I was wandering on the road, and I became lustful, and wanted to get some money to spend, so I followed her to the place where she lived.He didn't dare to act immediately, and struggled all night, so he went to Huang Zhi's residence again the next morning, and killed Huang Zhi after opening the door.Because of fear, he ran away without doing anything in the end.

He said the whole thing indifferently and even calmly, but when he was about to finish speaking, a middle-aged man in the first row of the auditorium suddenly stood up, threw a drink bottle at him, and said He said a sentence in a dialect that I didn't understand, and looked very sad.The bailiffs came quickly, but they didn't drive him out of the court, but just let him sit down again.I guess this is Lu Wanqiang's father. Lu Wanqiang glanced at his father, then lowered his head again. That look, as if looking at an unrelated person. I was a little startled, this Saintess Cult could brainwash the believers in this way, to do things for the church, even disregarding family ties, it is really scary.

After a small disturbance, the trial continued.In the court debate stage, there is actually not much arguable.Because Lu Wanqiang confessed to his murder.Therefore, the defense lawyer hired by the court can only say some indifferent words such as "the attitude of pleading guilty is better, please consider the court's sentencing". The presiding judge was quite responsible. During the trial, she asked Lu Wanqiang several questions that were revealed during the police investigation but ignored by the prosecution.For example, why in the investigation of Cui Xingjian, the trailing man, Cui Xingjian claimed that he did not see Lu Wanqiang when he went downstairs after following Huang Zhi upstairs.But Lu Wanqiang replied, "The corridor is dark, I hid aside, he didn't pay attention."In short, he didn't have the slightest intention of revealing his secrets to exonerate himself. More than an hour later, the judge announced a fifteen-minute recess. The re-opening of the court should be the verdict. For a murder case, such a court trial is very fast.The defendant didn't resist at all, and planned to submit to the law obediently. The prosecution went smoothly, can you be unhappy? I watched Lu Wanqiang being temporarily taken away by the judicial police, and thought to myself, when I brought him up again, something might happen. Waiting until now, the situation is still calm, and if nothing happens in the last little time left, wouldn't the believers who came to see it be disappointed and return?According to what Yuan Ji said yesterday, the human court declared Lu Wanqiang guilty, and their god Tianzun declared Lu Wanqiang innocent. The decision will be made in the next moment. I didn't go to the toilet, just sat where I was. Time passed minute by minute while waiting. Fifteen minutes passed quickly. I frowned, and my heart beat faster and faster.Not because of what happened to the law, but precisely because nothing happened. What's going on here, the 15-minute adjournment time has come, why is the court still not in session? No, I looked at my watch, eighteen minutes had passed. The judges are seated again.Everyone else took their places, but the dock was empty. I have a strong feeling that something must have happened! There were murmurs of commotion and discussion in the auditorium, and judging from the expressions of the prosecution and the people from afar, it seemed that they didn't know what happened. A few minutes later, a man ran to the judge from the side door with a low body, leaned over and whispered something in her ear. The judge's expression changed immediately, her eyes widened, and she looked at the man with an expression of disbelief. I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder, and when I looked back, it was Inspector Wang. Beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, but he didn't notice it. He lowered his voice and said to me, "Come out with me, something happened." Is this because I am afraid that I will see the clues, so I just say it directly? Maybe Xue Ying thinks that if she can recruit a reporter as a believer, it will serve as a good example.But the question is, how can she guarantee that I will "believe" it? "Praise you, Tianzun, the only God." Yuan Ji stopped at the edge of the playground and read in a low voice.This seemed to be a spell, and in a blink of an eye, his expression became extremely devout, "You will also believe in Tianzun, this is not just empty talk, you will see the truth of this world." "Truth? What truth?" I muttered in my heart, the name Tianzun is really not creative. A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Ji's mouth: "Originally, there are some things that only a true believer like me can know. However, it is not as good as seeing it with my own eyes. At 1:30 tomorrow afternoon, at X There was a public security trial in the intermediate court. Although it was public, it was not fair. The person on trial was one of our believers. No matter what the laws of this world say, God will declare him innocent. You must go, and you will meet to the miracle." When any religion starts, many miracles are bound to happen.For example, Jesus Christ fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish. For example, when Sakyamuni predicted his own death, the earth shook.They rely on all kinds of inexplicable inconceivables to gather countless believers and let the teachings spread. The Saintess Church also performed miracles, and it did so in the courthouse, a place that sounds difficult to do tricks.What kind of miracle would this be? etc. An unfair trial?An innocent believer? I immediately took out my mobile phone and called Inspector Wang. "Last time you said that Lu Wanqiang would have a public trial, has the date been set? Is it tomorrow?" "Yes, how do you know?" "At court tomorrow afternoon?" "That's right, do you want to go and listen?" "Oh my God……" It was supposed to be a scorching afternoon, but half an hour ago, thick clouds blocked the sun, and then the air became more and more stuffy.I don't know when, a heavy rain will pour down. The building of the Shanghai No. X Intermediate People's Court is magnificent, standing there like an obelisk and can be seen from a distance.When you walk to the door, you will find that you have to pass through a wide square and walk a long flight of steps to enter.If someone had a ghost in his heart, he might feel uncomfortable walking up the stairs in front of the solemn white building. But what attracted my attention at this time were two police cars and a police motorcycle parked in front of the court. Just as I stopped to look at the police car, the door of the car in front opened, and Inspector Wang came out from inside and greeted us quickly. "Just park the police car here, aren't you afraid to scare the snake?" I asked. Detective Wang smiled bitterly: "I still want to scare the snake away as much as possible. If something happens in the court, the consequences will be too serious. Let me tell you, is your news reliable?" This is no longer him The first time I asked me, I had no choice but to answer again: "I have already told you what I heard last night. If nothing happens at the end of the court trial and the miracle does not appear, we cannot let you As a reporter, if I become a believer, the former believers will also be hit hard. If they are not certain, I think they would not dare to say this.” "I hope nothing happens," said the Inspector with a sigh. "Are you fully prepared here?" "Perfect? ​​There is no such thing as perfect, not to mention that we and the court are still two systems, and the time is so tight. It has only been a few hours since you called last night." The inspector complained a little. "We have notified the court and asked them to increase their vigilance. At the same time, you also saw me here. It is clear that two cars and a motorcycle are on standby at any time. In fact, the nearby patrol net is also pulled. This is already what I am here. The limit that can be done in time. In addition, the surrounding area of ​​the court has been checked, and there are no explosives. I also picked a few detectives with good eyes to sit below during the trial to prevent any changes. But to be honest, I still really It's hard to imagine how they are going to engage in this miracle method. Unless they find a group of people to attack the court head-on." "Shouldn't be so reckless." As I said that, a prison car with sirens pulled into the gate of the court. "Is he up there?" I asked. "Ok." "How is he these two days, is there anything unusual?" The detective shook his head: "It's still the same as before. He hasn't had any contact with outsiders these days. If the Saintess Church has any plans, he probably won't know." "Then I'll go in first, and I hope nothing really happens." I entered the criminal court and took a seat before the exam.There were quite a lot of people in the auditoriums around. I looked around for a week, but I didn't find Yuan Ji. He should be working at the subway station.But I guess, there must be some saintesses who will come to listen and witness their miracles.Huang Zhi has no relatives anymore, the village may have sent someone to listen, and Lu Wanqiang's father will also come, but I don't know which one. There was still some time before the start, and the court was very quiet, and those who spoke would try to keep their voices down.I don't know how many trials have been carried out in this space, leaving a heavy solemnity in the air, which makes people dare not be presumptuous. Around the court, there were many armed policemen standing along the wall. I don't know if this was the case originally, or if it was added because of the police's reminder. After sitting for a while, a side door in front opened. The public prosecutor, clerk, etc., and people from the court began to enter the arena and stood at their respective positions. Then, Lu Wanqiang was escorted in by two bailiffs. He was paler and thinner than when I saw him in the detention center, and his prison uniform made him look a little bigger.His head was slightly lowered, but it didn't give me the feeling of pleading guilty, but of indifference and indifference. The last person to walk in was today's presiding judge, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses.She sat down on the judge's bench, looked at her watch, waited for a while, and announced the start of the trial.I took a deep breath, what happened next? First, the public prosecutor of the prosecution read out a long indictment, which lasted more than 20 minutes.My heart was hanging all the time, I watched all directions and listened to all directions. I didn't relax a little until he finished reading and Lu Wanqiang confessed the crime.What Lu Wanqiang said did not surprise me at all, it was exactly the same as what he told me in the detention center—— While wandering on the road, I saw Huang Zhi, became lustful, and wanted to get some money to spend, so I followed him to the place where he lived.He didn't dare to act immediately, and struggled all night, so he went to Huang Zhi's residence again the next morning, and killed Huang Zhi after opening the door.Because I was scared, I ran away without doing anything in the end. He talked about the whole thing calmly and even calmly, but when he was about to finish speaking, a middle-aged man in the first row of the auditorium suddenly stood up, took a drink bottle and threw it at him, saying: He spoke a dialect that I didn't understand, looking very distressed and troublesome.The bailiffs came quickly, but they didn't drive him out of the court, but just let him sit down again.I guess this is Lu Wanqiang's father. Lu Wanqiang glanced at his father, then lowered his head again. That look, as if looking at an unrelated person. I was a little startled, this Saintess Cult could brainwash the believers in this way, to do things for the church, even disregarding family ties, it is really scary.

The decision will be made in the next moment. I didn't go to the toilet, just sat where I was. Time passed minute by minute while waiting. Fifteen minutes passed quickly. My brows furrowed a little bit, and my heart beat faster and faster.It's not because of what happened, but because nothing happened. How is this going?The 15-minute adjournment time is up, why is the court still not in session? No, I looked at my watch, eighteen minutes had passed. The judges had taken their seats again, and everyone else had taken their places, but the dock was empty. I have a strong feeling that something must have happened!
