Chapter 23 Three Monks
Abbot Shi Yanxin pointed to the teapot and said:
"Look at this tea leaf, floating and falling,
It's like a person's life."
This folk scientist lives alone in a courtyard at the foot of the mountain. He has two acres of land in front of and behind the house. He does not plant crops or vegetables in the field. Instead, he planted some trees that can blossom, including jujube, pear, locust and osmanthus trees. He lives by raising bees, and these trees and azaleas all over the mountains are the sources of honey.
The police formulated an arrest plan, first surrounding the yard, and then Shou Qiang and Fat Tiger controlled the plane of Gao Gong.
Gaogong has built three aircraft, only one of which can fly, and it is parked in the yard with an old blue and white rain cloth covering it.
There were many beehives placed in front and behind the yard. When the police surrounded him at night, they alarmed the bees in the beehive. The bees burst out from the nest, and a buzzing sound came from the air. The police waved their hands to drive them away, triggering the attack of bees. The bees were swarming and stung when they saw people. A bee caught Fengqiang's ear and stinged her. Fengqiang made a whimper in pain. The fat tiger danced and tried to dispel the bees' attack. Hualong was about to speak, but a bee fell on his lips and stung it, and a big bag immediately swollen from his mouth.
A team of policemen fled in panic. Almost everyone was stung on their bodies and faces, and ran far away. Finally, the buzzing of bees could not be heard in their ears.
Fat Tiger said: "We are really howling, and we are so urinating."
Shouqiang said: "Brother, you used the right idiom this time. Those bees are so terrible."
Secretary Zhao said: "I didn't catch the person, but he became like this. I thought you were beaten by hundreds of people."
Hualong said: "Haha, take out your phone and take a photo of it. I want to send it to Professor Liang, Xiaobao and Xiaomei for a look."
Secretary Zhao looked at Hualong's swollen sausage mouth, couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud.
The arrest failed, and Gao Gong and the thief cloak fled overnight, with unknown whereabouts.
The police included the two people on the online pursuit list and wanted nationwide. The online pursuit system is very powerful. All public security departments and police groups across the country cooperate closely to fight as a whole. It is only a matter of time before they arrest the two people. As long as they use their ID cards and their mobile phone numbers and bank cards associated with their ID cards, they will be discovered by the police, thus exposing their whereabouts.
At the same time, three counterfeit money studios established by the public security organs and banks have successively discovered three counterfeit money.
After identification, these three fake banknotes belong to the same batch as the counterfeit banknotes used by the thief's cloak. The police's most worried thing happened. The banknote templates stolen in the banknotes have been used by criminals to print a large number of fake banknotes and flow into the market. These fake banknotes can pass through the banknote detector, which is no big difference from real banknotes, and it is difficult for ordinary citizens to distinguish between real banknotes.
By tracing the source of the three counterfeit money, the police made amazing discoveries.
1. There is a top scorer in the college entrance examination in this city. His family is poor. In order to supplement his family's income, he has been picking up waste from elementary school and working in middle school during the winter and summer vacation. During the college entrance examination, he was admitted to a prestigious school with excellent results, but it was difficult to pay for the tuition and miscellaneous expenses during the college entrance examination. The newspaper reported this, and the original intention was to call on everyone to donate money to help. However, the strong mother refused all the funds and did not want to owe favors. One day, a monk came to his family, claiming to be a monk from the Buddhist charity foundation. After reading the news, he wanted to donate 50,000 yuan. My mother believed in Buddhism and only accepted this donation. When she deposited the money in the bank, she was found to be counterfeit currency.
2. In the corridor outside the hospital's hematology ward, a young father was sitting in a chair, holding his six-year-old daughter in his arms. His daughter had just been diagnosed with leukemia. The father felt helpless and could not afford high treatment at all.
The cost, then, I could only watch my beautiful and lovely daughter leave the world. The daughter looked up and said, "Dad, let's go home, I have to go to school in the afternoon." Dad's tears flowed out, and he felt distressed, not knowing what to say. At this time, a monk came over and asked about the situation, leaving behind a bag of money, with a full twenty bundles of 10,000 yuan each. The 200,000 yuan later flowed to the bank and identified as counterfeit currency.
3. A remote and closed mountain village is very backward and poor, with rugged and narrow mountain roads, and it is impossible to pass when it rains and snows. There are only a few hundred people in the village, and the number of people is decreasing every year. No girl is willing to marry into this village. To get rich, build roads first. The village chief’s biggest wish is to build a winding mountain road for the village. This road is the hope of a village. However, the county and township governments are in a tight financial situation, and the road construction project is nowhere to be achieved. A monk travels to the village and donates a large sum of money - 500,000 yuan in cash in the name of the Buddhist charity foundation.
The police found that the three monks were doing good deeds with fake money.
Hualong sent a photo of his bruised nose and swollen face to Professor Liang via WeChat, Bao Zhan and Su Mei.
Su Mei replied: "Brother Hualong has become handsome, and his lips are very sexy."
Bao Zhan said: "Brother Hualong was stung by a bee. He pulled out the stinger and washed it with soapy water. It will be fine in a few days."
Professor Liang said: "I am on vacation and gardening with my granddaughter. Don't bother me with nothing important."
Hualong replied: "My photos cannot be seen in vain. Please help me with some advice. How to solve the case next?"
The special case team once again played the advantages of the team, and everyone brainstormed and finally determined a direction for investigation. The thief's cloak and the senior engineer are members of the gang, but are not core backbone. The case is related to the temple, and involves monks who have become monks. The dens for making counterfeit coins are likely to be hidden in a temple in the surrounding area.
Hualong said: "We will investigate all the temples in the city next, and be sure to find this den for making counterfeit coins."
Secretary Zhao said: "If the city cannot be found, expand the scope to the whole province, and these temples are only found in the whole province, one by one."
Shouqiang said: "It is not easy for the police to conduct searches in the holy land of Buddhism, and they always have to take into account the influence of public opinion."
Fat Tiger said: "We will not enter the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. It is best to find a reason, so we can escape the cicada."
Secretary Zhao said: "The reason for checking the fire safety of temples is to conduct open and secret investigations, and they wear police uniforms, which at least has a deterrent effect, so that those monks who are unlawful can restrain themselves and print less fake money."
The gang member Gao Gong lives at the foot of the mountain. The mountain is called Chuyun Mountain. There is a temple on the mountain called Chuyun Temple.
The temple is like a large courtyard, with a main hall, which holds the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. The left is the Galan Hall, the right is the Guanyin Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Chai Hall, and the Zen Room where monks live, and two independent buildings, namely the Bell and Drum Tower and the Sutra Pavilion, as well as the lay Buddhist dormitory for pilgrims and volunteers to temporarily live.
There are more than a dozen monks in Tuiyun Temple, with the abbot’s name, Yanxin, and all the monks who became monks have the surname Shi.
When Shi Yanxin first arrived at Izumo Temple, there were ruins everywhere, and the incense burner was poured down and dust fell. Over the past few years, Master Shi Yanxin rebuilt a long-deserted temple from bricks and tiles. The funds were donated by good men and women, and he also owed a construction company a project payment. Later, the construction company waived the money. Shi Yanxin made a monument of merit and stood beside the mountain gate.
Shi Yanxin said: "Building a temple is a kind of practice."
The monk's life is very hard. He rises up when he hears the bell, sleeps when he hears the drum, goes to the hall when he hears the board, and passes through the hall when he hears the bang. This is the case every day, and it remains the same every year.
Every morning at four o'clock, the bell rang, and the monks got up and gathered together
In the palace, chant the "Heart Sutra", "Great Compassion Mantra", "Ten Small Mantras", and "Heart Sutra". At seven o'clock, eat breakfast, white porridge, steamed buns, pickles, and you cannot speak during the meal. After vegetarian food, you either work or sit in meditation. Then there is the incense of walking. The monks walk around the Buddha's silhouette. The incense of walking is also called the incense of running, which is similar to a physical exercise. After eleven o'clock, they are all vegetarian. After lunch, the monks do not eat, and eat two meals a day, only breakfast and lunch. In the afternoon, meditate. At four o'clock, they do evening classes and recite scriptures. At seven o'clock, they listen to the Dharma. At nine o'clock, they beat the drums and stop the great quietness and start sleeping.
Hualong and Shouqiang and Fat Tiger investigated Izumo Temple. All three were wearing police uniforms, and a monk from the temple received the reception.
The three of them checked the temple halls, kitchens and monks' houses, checked the fire extinguishers, fire hydrants and other fire protection facilities in the temple, and learned about the use of oil, fire, electricity, gas and incense in the temple. Fire safety knowledge and issues that need to be rectified were taught on the spot.
During the inspection, Hualong and the other two discovered an abnormal situation. The temple used more electricity recently than before.
Hualong said: "Mencius does not lie. To be honest, why is it that your temples use excessive electricity?"
Shouqiang said: "Overload electricity is likely to cause fire hazards in temples."
Fat Tiger said: "Or otherwise, what kind of underground processing factory was secretly opened in your temple?"
The monk blushed a little and said hesitantly: "I don't know much about using electricity, so I have to ask the abbot."
Abbot Shi Yanxin received three people from Hualong in the tea room of the living room. This man was a fat monk with big ears, nearly 40 years old, wearing a monk's robe. He burned incense and cleaned his hands and brewed a few cups of tea. The tea fragrance filled the room, which made people feel calm and pleasant. Abbot Shi Yanxin explained: "The summer is hot, and the air conditioners in the main hall, side hall and monk's room are always on, so the electricity bill is more than before."
This reason is irrefutable, so Hualong and the other two had to drink tea and chat.
A word is posted on the wall of the tea room: Tea Zen Yiwei.
Fat Tiger drinks tea as a cow drink. After drinking one cup after another, he asked casually: "What does tea Zen mean?"
Abbot Shi Yanxin pointed to the teapot and said, "Look at the tea leaves, floating and sinking, it's like a person's life."
Hualong asked, "What did the abbot do before he became a monk?"
Shi Yanxin said: "It's better not to talk about the past, but it's time to get here after a lot of ups and downs."
Shouqiang said: "I can't drink any tea this, but it tastes quite fragrant."
Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "Tea is grown in the back mountain. The water used to make tea is the best mountain spring water, river water, well flower water, plum blossom snow water, and bamboo drainage. However, the three of you used tap water from the temple to entertain you."
Hualong said, "You old monk look down on us police."
Abbot Shi Yanxin said: "When will you take off your police uniform and worship Buddha sincerely. Then come to the temple to drink tea, so it will naturally be a good tea and water for you to entertain."
Hualong said: "This is a ban on expulsion. I have another question. How much incense money can your temple receive every month?"
Shi Yanxin said: "The temple is offering to all directions, and it is the kindness of the donors. There are records to check every month."
Hualong asked carefully: "Will some donors stuff fake money into the merit box? Have you ever discovered it?"
Abbot Shi Yanxin was a little angry, stood up and took two steps, suddenly stopped, and he asked, "What is money?"
Fat Tiger smiled, took out her wallet, and said, "That's all money."
