Honestly suffering from the dumbness, Xie Yaozhi changed the subject sullenly: "Then what method do you think he used?"

"I don't know." Su Jianxing replied very bluntly, "But I always have a vague feeling that the problem may be on the side tower door."

"The door?" Xie Yaozhi looked over in surprise: What does this have to do with the door?Could it be that the stolen one will deliberately provide convenience to the thief?

Su Jianxing was not in a hurry to answer, but instead asked: "Yao Zhi, when we first visited Luming Temple, did we carefully look at every place inside and outside the pagoda?"

"Yes, yes." Xie Yaozhi nodded blankly.

But Su Jianxing shook his head and frowned: "No, there is no gate on the side tower. When we got down from the side tower, Dian Zuo had already opened the bottom gate for us and was waiting on the side, so we didn't pay attention to the gate. Later we asked When we went to the side door after we finished speaking, the tower door had already been locked again, we just took a quick look, and left in a hurry because the Dianzao had been waiting—we didn’t even touch that door from the beginning to the end!”

"Well, Master Dianzuo is too enthusiastic." Xie Yaozhi was thoughtful, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Go to Luming Temple again."

"Okay, I'll go change some clothes first." Xie Yaozhi tugged at her hem, she couldn't bear to wear the clothes she had been walking around in the cemetery all night.

"Don't worry, it's not too late to go back to take a bath and change clothes." Surprised that Su Jianxing had suddenly become so human, Xie Yaozhi was startled for a moment, then heard the voice behind him and chased after him, "We will act at Haishi tonight."

"Haishi?" Xie Yaozhi stopped and turned around in surprise, "Asu, are you going to investigate the disappearance of the Buddha treasure or steal it?"

Expecting such a question, Su Jianxing looked away calmly, "When do you think the person who set the fire entered the top of the tower, and how did you arrange everything?"

Xie Yaozhi frowned and thought: "If you want to enter the top of the tower and make preparations, it's best to wipe off the dust and replace the lamp oil while cleaning the top of the tower, so you can do it easily—no, but the last inspection is not..."

The flowing clouds are soaring, and they are instantly submerged in a glow.

Night is always inseparable from the wind and the moon.

But tonight, it's not the leisure of the wind and the moon, nor the tenderness of the dawn and the moon, but the moon is dark and the wind is high. As for murder and arson, probably there won't be any?

In fact, Xie Yaozhi had slandered God no less than three times when the sound of thunder came to his ears that day: It was a sunny morning, but he was about to act this evening, yet he looked like a heavy rain was coming, God He is too uncooperative!As if in response to the thought in the heart, the second thunder rolled over, so someone obediently recited forgiveness.

The monks had already turned off the lights and rested, and the whole moon was quietly lying among the shadows of the mountains. Only a few sea lanterns in the main hall, like the benevolent eyes of the Buddha, were everlasting.The night was as thick as splashed ink, and there was no light at all. The two of them were not familiar with the layout of the temple, and it took a lot of effort to find the door of the stupa.

The door of the side pagoda was closed tightly, no different from that in the daytime. After making sure that there were no monks around, Xie Yaozhi had just polished the fire, took advantage of the light to take a closer look, and finally gave up: "A Su, this lock is locked properly. The door is also a heavy iron lacquered door, I really can't see anything strange here."

"Do you believe that someone can escape through a wall?"

A sudden sentence came that made people inexplicable: "That's just a myth and legend, of course it doesn't exist in reality."

"Then," Su Jianxing raised his hand to caress the cool door, "the only passages that can enter the tower are the main entrance and the side entrance. The monks gather in the main entrance. Unless this person can hide, he will be found. In this way, only The side door allows him to enter and exit. In this way, rather than believing that this person will escape through the wall, it is better to believe that there may be something unusual about this door."

"But isn't this too unbelievable?" If you can pass freely, then why install such a tower gate?Why bother with such a bulky lock?What's more, Xie Yaozhi couldn't tell at all, how could he enter the tower if he didn't move the lock.

"Ah Xie, try to unlock it."

"I don't promise that I won't make a noise." Xie Yaozhi's protesting muttering was soon drowned out by a new burst of thunder from the sky - no wonder this guy came here tonight, so it was because of this, this fox!While Xie Yaozhi was indignant at his late knowledge and night sleep, he did not stop at the same time. He removed the animal head lock, and there was a door plug attached to the lock base behind him. The doorposts were pulled out of the sill and lintel joints, and the door finally revealed a gap.

——What a troublesome door!Xie Yaozhi's complaints hadn't come out yet, and his clear mind was disturbed: "That's not right, Asu, since it has a door lock, why does it need a door latch? Besides, isn't the door latch used by ordinary people to lock the door from the inside at night? Isn't it superfluous!"

Su Jianxing's eyes wandered slowly, and he looked carefully along the seam of the door leaf: "Existence is reasonable. In this world, there will never be unreasonable things." Then, he paused, and then looked at the door hinge on one side , "Ah Xie, please close the door as it is."

Although Xie Yaozhi was puzzled, he still followed suit: "What did you think of?"

"Do you still remember the hair dryer when you were young?" Su Jianxing smiled slightly, without giving anyone a chance to respond, "Ah Xie, go and remove the door hinge over there."

—Remove the door? !So the words reached Xie Yaozhi's ears, and they were automatically shortened into two words.In fact, when these two words were reflected in Xie Yaozhi's mind again, it became completely understandable: ordinary people remove the hinges, and the door is removed as soon as it is removed, but it is different here, it still has a door. There is a post that runs through the lock from top to bottom, so when the door shaft is removed without moving the door lock, it becomes a whole rotating valve with the central post as the axis!

Talking to smart people is not tiring, but listening to smart people is so tiring!

As expected, the door hinge is specially made, and it can be easily removed just by loosening the buckle and pulling out the insert.Sure enough, the pagoda door, which had lost the shackles of the door shaft, unscrewed quietly with a little force, which perfectly confirmed Su Jianxing's conjecture.

"Asu, is this a coincidence, right?" The idea is nothing but the idea, but the theory and practice are so easily matched, which makes people feel at a loss.Xie Yaozhi clearly understood that this would completely overthrow certain concepts that were previously based on it, but she didn't want to think about it, she wanted to escape.

"No, absolutely not." Su Jianxing's voice was mixed with muffled thunder, wondering that the sense of oppression seemed to overwhelm the depression before the rainstorm. "I remember that when going up the tower from the main tower, the door on the third floor creaked, indicating that the door leading to the tower is not commonly used. Similarly, it is the same when we open this door from the middle, but when turning this door—— Su Jianxing shook his head, "There is no abnormal sound."

"Besides, in order to be stable and durable, the door hinges are usually made of dead wedges, let alone the heavy tower door?" Su Jianxing continued without stopping.

"However, the normal way to open this door is extremely cumbersome. On the contrary, it is more convenient to remove the door shaft - it seems that it was set up like this on purpose at all!" Xie Yaozhi continued annoyed.Originally, I wondered how the fireman entered the tower, but who knew that the door was just a decoration, and it was useless at all.What iron door animal locks, what monks keep watch at night, they are simply deceiving people's eyes and ears! "However, since the Buddhist treasure in Luming Temple was lost, shouldn't Dianzuo fully cooperate with us? Why did you hide it? Could it be Dianzuo himself who set the fire?"

"No, Dianzuo has no reason to do this. As a temple Dianzuo, it can be said that he has gained a lot of respect. He can freely enter and leave the top of the tower without anyone blocking him. Why must he take the Buddha treasure as his own? If an ordinary novice can Returning to the vulgar, you can still take the Buddha treasure away, but Dianzuo cannot leave easily, especially a royal temple like Luming Temple. It is useless to have the Buddha treasure in the temple, so what good will it do him? The pagoda has always been taken care of by the Dianzuo, and if the Buddha treasure is lost, it is solely responsible for it, so wouldn't this cause even more fire?"

"What's more, how this pagoda was built, the seat is out of control, so who built the pagoda into such a shape? There are locks on the three floors of the main pagoda and a lock on the top of the pagoda. In this way, the attached pagodas on both sides It can be connected to the middle of the main tower without interference, so what is the space that is so painstakingly concealed used for?"

Seemingly the most reasonable explanation, but the most unreasonable.Solving one mystery leads to more mysteries.Like cotton wool, the more you pull it, the more messy it becomes.

Su Jianxing took a deep breath and let it out long, as if he wanted to relieve his depression: "In any case, we still know the process of this person stealing treasure: he knew that he could not enter the top of the tower, so he had to find an appropriate time, so he thought of it." He set fire; he entered with all the monks while the monks were regularly cleaning the top of the pagoda, added phosphorous powder to the sea lantern, poured lamp oil to preserve it, and tied a thin thread to the lamp head of the sea lantern to connect it outside the door. .In this way, it is quietly prepared for future actions."

While speaking, the big raindrops had already fallen. Su Jianxing took a long look at the bottomless sky, retracted his gaze, and stepped into the tower. "So in the previous few nights, relying on knowing the secrets of the side towers, he bypassed the night guard Sangha and entered the tower, and pulled the thin thread left in advance outside the tower door, causing the sea lantern inside the door to fall, and the phosphorous powder was exposed, and he Then you can retreat to observe in the dark, and when the monk finds the fire and opens the door to put out the fire, he can take the opportunity to sneak into the top of the tower and get in touch with the Buddha treasure."

"So, this person must be the Sangha in the temple." Xie Yaozhi nodded slightly, and Liu Mei frowned, "However, at that time, the night guard monks were all in one place, even if someone later climbed east, the time was counted after setting fire, and there was no time It’s time to set the fire, but if this person is not among the monks on duty that night, how can he enter the fire in the first place?”
