By the time the Immigration Bureau had settled all the people involved in the case, it was already broad daylight.
It is eight o'clock in the morning.
Comrades from the Irregularity Bureau stayed up all night, but no one felt sleepy because they knew that they had encountered the biggest case since the establishment of the department.
There are more than 6,000 physical Buddhas in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. What a sin!
The monks had already been sent to Yuncheng overnight, and Officer Du was still staying in Songcheng to deal with the aftermath. At least the things in Wanfo Temple had to be moved back.
The six thousand physical Buddhas must also be dealt with and their identities and families must be found.
As for the Yuncheng Yitiao Bureau, Bureau Guo is personally in charge.
The laboratory in the Zhou family's old home was evacuated. Not only were all the researchers temporarily detained, but all instruments and props were also confiscated.
Under the guidance of Pei Anzhu, the Abnormality Bureau searched the entire Zhou family and took away all the abnormal things inside.
Mr. Zhou was imprisoned in a separate room.
Pei Anzhu followed Guo Bureau back to Yi Tiao Bureau.
"Master Pei, you are indispensable for the successful arrests in this case." Director Guo said, "We plan to interrogate these people in batches, and now we sincerely invite you to participate, at least help us judge whether those people are lying. "
"Okay, I'm obligated to help you wherever you need my help." Pei Anzhu nodded.
"Thank you Master Pei." Director Guo smiled and said, "By the way, when the people below were moving things, they saw some Xuanmen books. They seemed to be similar to the ones General Meng gave you last time. Are they the same as Shu Yunguan? What’s the origin?”
"Those are some of the classics left by Shu Yunguan. I was just about to ask Director Guo to allow me to take those books away and return them to Shu Yunguan after this case is over." Pei Anzhu said sincerely. Said.
"Of course it's no problem." Director Guo nodded, "It won't be too late. Let's go and observe the interrogation?"
The Irregularity Bureau divided the people captured this time into four batches, namely -
The monks of Wanfo Temple, researchers in the laboratory, Tian Jia and other confidants, as well as Mr. Zhou.
The first people to be interrogated were the monks.
Monks are also divided into two types. One is the young monks at the bottom, who are just ordained as monks in the temple and are responsible for some daily reception and management, and have nothing to do with the process of the wishing fountain.
The other is the process that is specifically responsible for the lucky bags and wishing wells. There are three main people in charge:
Understanding of receiving guests and part-time hacker.
Check the completeness of the guest’s horoscope information.
The person responsible for casting spells to activate the teleportation array and remove the lucky bag.
Three monks sat side by side in the same interrogation room, wearing handcuffs and shackles, and the same prison uniform. There was no room for resistance or escape.
Opposite them, there are four positions. Minister Wen Tao and his assistant Lin Lei are one to preside over, one is to record, and Director Guo and Pei Anzhu are in attendance.
After both parties sat down, Director Guo spoke first:
“Before the interrogation officially begins, I would like to introduce to you that the young lady next to me is the famous Qingzhu Immortal of the Dolphin Live Broadcasting Platform.”
“She is an out-and-out Taoist practitioner, capable of exorcising evil spirits, catching ghosts, and slaying demons.”
“So, if I ask you anything next, you’d better answer honestly. The person who answers the question honestly first, we will consider reducing the sentence and giving a lighter sentence as appropriate.”
“If you are discovered by Qingzhu Immortal Lord that you are lying…”
Ju Guo did not finish what he said, but his meaning was very clear. This was not a threat, but to let a few monks know the importance in advance.
He raised his hand towards Minister Wen Tao, indicating that the interrogation could officially begin.
Professional interrogation has a fixed process, and Minister Wen Tao and others are also veterans of the workplace and have long listed key issues, such as:
When did you start handling the wishing fountain?
Do you know the origin of the Buddha statues in Wanfo Temple? Who asked them to do these things, and what was their purpose?
…
At first, the three monks wanted to collude and lie to excuse themselves, but Pei Anzhu quickly exposed their lies.
Once, twice, three times, every time she spoke, it was exactly when they were lying.
The three monks went from not believing in evil at the beginning to becoming convinced later. They did not dare to hide anything anymore and honestly explained the whole story -
The three of them are all orphans and were raised by the same kind-hearted person.
According to the conditions of kind-hearted people who funded them, when they went to college, they unanimously chose the Buddhist College. After graduation, they went directly to Wanfo Temple to become ordained.
After arriving at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, they thought that they would just be an honest monk.
Unexpectedly, they were taken into the underground palace and witnessed the manufacturing process of the "flesh Buddha" with their own eyes, and the man forced them to do it themselves.
Making a human Buddha is tantamount to killing someone.
When they refused, the man threatened to kill them because they had seen something they should not have seen, and only the dead can keep secrets.
If they want to live, they can only follow the arrangements and create a "flesh Buddha" themselves.
That person will record a video of them making a physical Buddha. This will be a handle against them. Once they have second thoughts, this will be evidence of guilt.
In this way, the three of them were dragged into the water and became accomplices. From then on, they were bound to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, doing things according to the request of the man, and always managing the flow of the wishing pool.
They have been working in the temple for more than five years and have never had any problems. Instead, because of the effectiveness of the wishing fountain, they can take the opportunity to find more benefits from customers, and their life is very smooth.
Gradually, the fear they once had gradually disappeared, and they became accustomed to making Buddhas in the flesh.
For more than five years, there has never been any problem until this time.
After listening to the three of them telling what happened, everyone looked at Pei Anzhu in unison. After she nodded and confirmed this statement, Minister Wen Tao said:
“There are a few questions now.”
“First, who are the kind people who support you?”
“Second, who is the person who took you to the underground palace and participated in the creation of the physical Buddha?”
"Third, the Wishing Pool of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple has been famous for its efficacious effects for more than ten years, but you have only been operating it for more than five years. There must have been a group of people before you who were doing the same thing as you. This group of people later went there where?"
All the monks in Wanfo Temple were arrested, almost all young monks, no more than thirty years old.
Judging from the age of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, there should be no older ones.
The three of them looked at each other and replied frankly:
“First, we don’t know who the sponsor is. He is very mysterious. When he decided to sponsor us, he only sent his subordinates to contact us. We have never seen what he looks like or heard his voice. "
"Second, the person who took us to the underground palace, I saw it when I was captured. He was among the other group of people you captured. He was a young man with a short head."
“Thirdly, the senior monks in the temple were all made into fleshly Buddhas. Shortly after we entered the temple, the man said that this was to keep it secret and to shock.”
The purpose of making the former monks into fleshly Buddhas was to shut them up and prevent them from leaking secrets.
Let the new monks see it with their own eyes to make them afraid and not to talk too much, so as not to ruin the great event of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
I don’t know how many batches of monks there have been at Wanfo Temple. Anyway, there are people graduating from Buddhist colleges every year.
People go in one after another, but the secret inside has never been revealed. This is probably the reason.
