Chapter 30 first quarter

I still clearly remember that on the morning of December 4th the next day, the sky was a solemn gray, almost drowning the withered yellow mountains. "Whose call is Zhenbei waiting for?" "I do not know either……" After breakfast, even if we went back to our room, we couldn't sit still, so Rin and I walked on the gravel road of Ruixiang's room.We also invited Mabi, but he folded his arms and looked at his phone with a serious face, so we went out for a walk by ourselves. "Mr. Weiser—very worrying." "Well, I don't know what happened..."

Yesterday, two criminal policemen searched until evening, but they still didn't find any clues showing Wei Ze's whereabouts. "When Mr. Okajima disappeared, because the surveillance cameras didn't capture him, it can be roughly judged that he didn't leave the Ruixiang room, but this time Mr. Wei Ze probably used the middle of the night to sneak away—" "Because the video from the surveillance camera cannot be confirmed this time." Surveillance cameras are the only way to confirm the entry and exit of people here. However, between the night before Weiser disappeared and yesterday morning, the recorders were in the hands of the police, so they could not be used.

"Those two detectives must be in complicated moods." "Because they asked to borrow the recorder." "Yesterday, after the search, the two detectives also said 'not coming for a while'." "Yes, Detective Guwei and Detective Zhuli also seem to blame themselves. It feels really pitiful. And they may also be very annoyed by the fact that the abbot of Ci'an was taken to the police station." "Their work is also very hard—huh? The newcomers from last time seem to be here." I see the scrappers' pickup trucks parked in the parking lot.Since the canopy is attached to the car body, it is impossible to tell whether the work is about to start or whether it is finished and ready to leave.Today he parked the car in the corner of the parking lot, is it because there is a sickle pattern in the place where he usually parks?

"I wonder if he is wearing strange sportswear today?" "'As I smell'?" Standing on tiptoe, Rin looked at the driver's seat of the pickup truck.The operator just opened the door and got out of the car. "Good morning!" Young people saw us and greeted us with big smiles.Today's sportswear is actually printed with the words "Sakyamuni Tathagata" in gold.He is so handsome, yet he wears such inappropriate clothes. "I'll get to work right away!" The young man clapped his hands vigorously. "Ah? Ah, sorry, we are not from here, we will help you find someone."

I said, and the young man hastily stopped me: "No, no, I know how to do it. I have already remembered everyone's looks, and I hope everyone can remember me sooner." "Yeah—ah, by the way, there's something I want to ask you." I asked him about the sickle pattern. "Oh, no wonder I noticed a strange pattern when I was about to park the car just now, that looks scary." "Did you see it the last time you parked there?" "No, if there were, I wouldn't park the car there. Because it might be an important sign." After we thanked the young man, we left the parking lot, not daring to go to the workshop, so we had to go back to the dormitory.

"Why are you still sitting here?" As soon as he walked into the room, he found that Zhenbei was still looking at his phone. "You are back, why so fast?" I told Mabi about the young man who met the scrapper. "He doesn't know what the sickle pattern means." "Ok……" Zhenbei grunted with a pouted mouth, crossed his hands, and was still looking at the phone. I sat down beside him, staring blankly at the ceiling, rethinking the incident. Twenty years ago, for some unknown reason, Matsuzuki's younger sister Jasmine swung a knife at her lover Takashi Nirazawa three times. Torii, Wei Ze and Okajima witnessed this scene with their own eyes.Jasmine escaped from Ruixiang's room, and Jiu Ze also left words of resentment and disappeared without a trace. No one knew whether the corpse disappeared inexplicably, or whether Jiu Ze left while alive.A few days after Chirazawa left, many crows gathered in a certain place on the mountain. Is it really the corpse of Chirazawa as Matsuzuki and Torii said?Or is he still alive today?

Nowadays, strange phenomena have happened to the Buddha statues made by Jiuze.Avalokitesvara could laugh, King Wushu Samoming's head was bleeding, and I heard someone calling Jasmine's name.And the strangely shaped Buddha statues that Jiu Ze left in the room appeared in the middle of the night. Moreover, Okajima suddenly disappeared, and someone drew a bloody sickle pattern in the parking lot.On the lotus seat and ceiling of Avalokitesvara, suspected Okajima's type B blood appeared.Yesterday, Wei Ze also disappeared.No one knows whether Okajima and Wei Ze left because of their own will, or were involved in some accident.On the issue of Okajima's disappearance, the criminal police once suspected the abbot of Ci'an and asked him to go to the police station for an interview-however, it was finally found that the criminal police had misunderstood.The two policemen saw that the abbot of Ci'an was carrying a dhutanga bag containing a small amulet, and thought it was Okajima's body...

"--Wait a moment." I cried out suddenly. "What's wrong?" Rin looked at my face.I shook my head slightly, closed my eyes, and tried to firmly capture the blurry image that just flashed in my mind. That night, the night I lived here alone, I went to the workshop in search of a camera.I walked into the storage room through the wooden door at the back door, walked through the storage room, and walked to the workshop—at that time—I saw something under the light of the flashlight. What did you see? That is-- "It's a tutu bag..." Yes, at that time I saw the huge dhutanga bag with my own eyes. The bag containing a lot of small amulets was placed by the wall of the workshop.It was past eleven o'clock at that time, and when I walked out of the room, the clock on the wall pointed to past eleven o'clock.

"—Really prepared!" I opened my eyes and called my friend's name. "What's wrong? Why is your expression so nervous?" Before answering his question, I glanced at the clock on the wall and quickly confirmed the time displayed by the pointer and the time on my watch.It was seven thirty-two for both, and that clock was exactly right. Sure enough, there is nothing wrong. "Mabi, regarding the video from the surveillance camera we saw yesterday, when did the abbot of Ji'an return to the monastery with a tutu bag?" I asked bluntly. "I think it was ten eleven in the evening."

That's right, the abbot of Ci'an left the Ruixiang room nearly an hour before I went to the workshop. "That's not a small amulet!" I couldn't help but screamed.Yes, the bag carried by the abbot of Ci'an cannot be a small amulet.Because an hour after he left Ruixiang's room, I entered the workshop and saw with my own eyes the dhutanga bag containing the small amulets. I try to organize my thoughts.The next morning, Dad Tang Jianmu and I walked into the studio together. At that time, there was a Thu Tuo bag tied up at the mouth of the bag, which meant that the small Buddha statue inside had been consecrated.I always thought that the abbot of Ci'an brought the small amulet back to the temple to enter the soul, and then brought it back again.but--

"It turns out that's not the case..." In fact, the abbot of Ci'an didn't bring back the small amulet at all.As long as the bag is tied up, the people in the studio think that the consecration has been completed, but in fact only the abbot of Ci'an himself knows whether it has been completed or not.Even if you don't do anything, as long as you tie up the bag, you can fish in troubled waters. "Really, listen to me." I told Mabi about my discovery.Because I was too flustered and my words were incoherent, I had to start all over again. "Zhenbei, what is going on here? What exactly was in the tutu bag that the abbot of Ci'an carried that night? What exactly did he bring out of Ruixiang's room?" "A guest is here." At this time, Auntie Yi yelled at the door, "It's Mr. Interpol from last time. He said he wanted to find Mr. Mabei."
