Overshadowing the sun is always a demon
Chapter 5
Not long after, Fadu woke up in a daze, and the range he could see was pitch black. After a moment of blankness in his mind, he finally remembered where he was.The inside of the big clock is not very spacious. After Fadu fainted, he twisted his body and lay horizontally inside the clock. In fact, he just half-kneeled, unable to lie down or stand upright at all.He tried to hit it twice, and the "hissing" sound of the snakes swimming was heard immediately. Even through the thick clock wall, he could still smell a fishy smell.When the big clock fell down, the force was astonishing, and the surrounding area was already deeply immersed in the mud, and it was impossible to shake it by manpower.
"Master! How are you, Master?" Fadu had just called out twice, when he suddenly heard a strange roar outside the clock, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
At this time, he felt very strange, the ground under his feet was bitingly cold, but there was an astonishing heat outside the big clock, as if it was being roasted by fire.
Fadu's whole body was in pain, but he couldn't see anything in the dark, so he had to sit cross-legged, being careful not to let himself lean against the clock wall.The temperature was gradually rising, and there was not much air in the clock. He was breathing heavily as if he was in hell, quietly waiting for the accident to come.
He couldn't remember when he lost consciousness again, but when he woke up again, the big clock had been lifted, and the Xuanji Temple in front of him had already turned into a charred ruin, and the grass was covered with thick A layer of foam mixed with charred grass, leaves and wood residue, but not even the shadow of a dead snake could be seen.The moon was still in the sky, and several firefighters were cleaning up the fire, and the lights illuminated the surrounding area.
"Hello, I'm Tang Shaolei, the investigator in charge of the Xuanji Temple fire. Please cooperate with me." Suddenly a young man in casual clothes appeared in front of the bed. Gu Zi sat on the edge of the bed.
"Investigator... Oh, Officer Tang." There has been no news of Wuzhi in the past few days. Fadu knows that the possibility of him surviving is very slim, but as long as he hasn't seen the body, he still refuses to give up that point. hope.
"You don't need to call me a police officer, just call me Xiaotang. Let's start now." Tang Shaolei completely ignored his muttering, and went straight to the point, "What is the cause of this fire?"
Fadu shook his head: "I don't know, maybe the wires are aging."
"Someone saw the monks from your monastery going down the mountain together at about 06:30, and you left the group and returned alone about 10 minutes later. What are you doing when you go back?"
"I forgot to take my phone." Fadu said truthfully.
"Then why did you suddenly go down the mountain together during meal time?"
"Master said that the management fee of the scenic spot is about to be paid, so let us go down the mountain to ask for sponsorship."
Tang Shaolei frowned but didn't raise any objections. He just lowered his head and took notes in his notebook. He must have done his homework before.It is not surprising that a temple that can support monks by relying on Amway and street performances gets sponsorship.
"The surveillance at the entrance of the scenic spot caught you reappearing at about 9 o'clock, and after staying at the entrance of KFC for a while, you went up the mountain again. What are you doing up the mountain?"
Fadu moved his lips, but he didn't say anything.At this time, no excuses can be convincing, and the fire has wiped out all the evidence about the catastrophe, even if he tells the truth, he will be regarded as a lunatic.
"It was 10:13 when the Miaofa Temple found a fire and called the police. It took 5 minutes for the firefighters in the scenic spot to arrive at Xuanji Temple. By that time, the entire temple had been burnt down. There are many doubts about the fire. You should be the first to discover the fire, but you didn't call the police; second, the fire blew up so fast that even the concrete buildings were razed to the ground in just a few minutes, which is difficult to do even with special combustion accelerants ;Thirdly, you were locked inside because the beam broke and the big clock fell, but you can’t do both at the same time, so what broke the beam? Fourth, your brothers all said that your Master Wuzhi was also in the temple, but he disappeared after the fire. Could you please explain it to me?"
Fadu couldn't help complaining in his heart, what kind of suspicious point is this, the disappearance of the female corpse hanging on the mountainside is really suspicious, isn't it!
"Fadu, answer me." Tang Shaolei's attitude was aggressive, not at all as if he was trying to understand the situation, but was interrogating the prisoner.
Fadu was full of displeasure, and replied directly: "I don't know."
"You don't know? Well, why don't you let me make a bold guess." Tang Shaolei put down his notebook and leaned leisurely against the head of the bed, "You dismissed all the monks in the temple under the pretext of almsgiving, and then you left the team and returned to the temple to murder Abbot Wuzhi. You disguised the scene as an accident and left, only to realize that something that could prove your identity, such as your mobile phone, was left at the crime scene when you got down the mountain. So you return to the mountain again and find that the old abbot is not dead, so you realize There are loopholes in my plan, so I just don’t do anything, just set fire to destroy the corpse. This explains all the doubts, why you didn’t call the police, because your mobile phone is not with you. It is not difficult for you to lock yourself in the clock To do it, you only need to damage the crossbeam in advance, then drill into the clock and shake the big clock continuously, the crossbeam will naturally break. Why is Wuzhi not in the temple, because his body has been burned to ashes. As for the speed of overfire, probably you are in advance There are combustion accelerants such as gasoline hidden in the temple.”
Fadu just thought it was funny: "The reasoning is wonderful, but what about the evidence?"
"If I had evidence, would you still be lying on the hospital bed so safely?" Tang Shaolei was not in a hurry, with a sly smile on his face.
"Go slowly, I won't see you off." The clearer cleared himself up, and Fadu didn't bother to explain, so he just turned his back and lay down and ignored him.
Young people these days are really unreliable. After learning a little criminal investigation and watching a few episodes of cartoons, they think that they are really Sherlock Holmes.How powerful they thought their reasoning was, but in fact it was not even one-tenth of the shock of the truth.
Fadu was really sleepy these days, and basically fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and he didn't know if it was the aftereffect of that exchange of blood.After sleeping in a daze for about an hour, he felt that someone was shaking his arm and calling him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the police uniform, and couldn't help being a little dazed.
"Hi, I'm an investigator investigating the fire at Xuanji Temple, and this is my ID."
"What?" Fadu wailed, "Didn't Xiaotang just leave after asking, why is there another one?"
The handsome guy in the police uniform looked bewildered: "Who is Xiao Tang?"
"Oh...it's nothing..." Fadu flashed Xiaotang's face before his eyes, and the doubts in his stomach suddenly became clear, but at the same time, more questions emerged.
The question asked by the handsome guy in the police uniform is far less weird than that of Xiao Tang. Fadu was routinely asked to recall what happened that night, and most of them were fooled by his "unclear" and "unclear" until the end of the questioning. Come out: "There is one more thing to inform you. The body of Master Wuzhi has been found. It is probably because he was too flustered and fell from the cliff behind when he was escaping from the fire. Your brothers and sisters have already gone to see it, do you want to go and see it?"
Facts have proved that the words of the handsome guy in police uniform are too euphemistic.
Wuzhi's body is not incomplete, but only a pile of fragments, and even the human form is gone.
Fadu trembled all over, knelt down and kowtowed firmly to Wuzhi a few times.If it wasn't for ignorantly sacrificing himself to lure the white snake away, the one lying under the white cloth now would be Fadu himself.
"Fa Du!" After Fa Du promised to respond to the summons at any time, he planned to return to the hospital. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind in his face. Before he could react, he was punched in the nose.
"Master... Senior Brother?" Fa Du felt his nose was hot, and the smell of nosebleeds choked up instantly, tears poured down from his eyes, and he shook for a long time before he could figure out who was beating him.
"What happened to Master?" Fa Ming rushed over and grabbed him by the front, "Please explain clearly, why did you run back to the temple twice? Why did the temple catch fire? Why did Master pass away?"
Fa Du just covered his nose, unable to speak clearly: "Senior Brother Fa Ming, you didn't ask Master when you went down the mountain, so you shouldn't ask me now either."
"That's because I didn't know something would happen to Master!" Fa Ming threw a punch at him, but Fa Du couldn't even block it, and was hit hard again.
"You hit me, beat me to death! I promised Master, there are some things I really can't say." Fa Du took so many hits before he knew who the master had passed on.Faming's punches hit the flesh, and if he was serious, he might really beat someone to death.
Faming raised his fist again, and Fadu hugged his head quickly, but the fist finally landed hard on the wall: "Okay, then I won't ask anything else, I will just ask you, Master really slipped and fell off the cliff to die Is it?"
Faming was the first orphan adopted by Wuzhi. To him, Wuzhi was not only a teacher but also a father and brother, so Wuzhi asked him to go down the mountain without even asking a question.Wuzhi's sudden death was a collapse of the world for him.
Faming's knuckles punched out obvious dents on the wall, and the blood dripped out just like that, spreading down the back of his hand little by little.
Fadu saw that the circles of his eyes were red, and the grief in his heart also boiled. When he reached the verge of eruption, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be indifferent: "Senior brother, you don't believe me?"
"When Master passed away, you were the only one by his side. He walked so strangely. If it were you, would you be able to stand it?" Fa Ming's shoulders trembled slightly, and his voice was choked with sobs. "If you still read If you are kind to Master, just tell me honestly how Master left."
Fadu smiled wryly and shook his head: "So what if we know, Master doesn't say anything, but he doesn't want to involve you all. It's better to just treat it as a slip..."
He had only spoken halfway, and he only felt a gust of cold wind suddenly rise up from under his feet, and that familiar chill suddenly wrapped his body again.
I don't know when the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moon was covered almost completely black, leaving only a thin line, and the surrounding area became even darker.
Fadu saw a woman in white standing across the alley, even in the darkness, he could clearly distinguish the strange light surrounding the woman.It was a rabbit, yes, but her face had gradually changed into another one.Wearing a thin gauze skirt in this weather is inevitable to attract attention, but she is still so beautiful.
"What are you looking at?" Fa Ming noticed his abnormality, and turned his head, but the street corner was empty.
She just disappeared out of thin air, as if melting into the air in an instant.
"Brother, I still have things to do, let's take a step first." Fadu rushed over in a big stride, and before he even had time to take a look, he only had time to add: "Take care of everyone, take care."
While running desperately forward in the shadows, there was only one thought left in Fadu's mind.
The white snake followed him.
"Master! How are you, Master?" Fadu had just called out twice, when he suddenly heard a strange roar outside the clock, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
At this time, he felt very strange, the ground under his feet was bitingly cold, but there was an astonishing heat outside the big clock, as if it was being roasted by fire.
