Ning Fu An is a well-known Lao An temple with a history of nearly a hundred years. Its fame comes from an old nun who was a bodhisattva. She traveled all over the world and came here. At that time, Ning'an City was very poor. If she gave birth to a daughter, she would lose money, so some family sold her daughter for money. Seeing this, the old lady was very angry, but she couldn't. But she was reluctant to leave because of this. She lived on the side of the mountain, built grass as a hut, and prayed for karma to teach scriptures. She also often helps women who are bullied.
One day, a wealthy family came to Ning'an City. The master bought five girls in their teens in one go. He was very generous and generous. Many people are asking if they can sell their daughters too. But soon one of the little girls died, saying that she accidentally fell into a well and drowned, but a girl secretly came and cried to the old man, saying that she was a friend of one of the girls, and she heard that the family was very friendly Vicious, beating, scolding and abusing those girls every day, other girls have been tortured to death before. That master does things, like a beast. After listening to the old man, he went to report to the official, but it was useless, no one wanted to listen to her. The power of the rich family is much greater than that of her poor old nun. And Lao Ni's thatched hut was also smashed by someone because of this.
Later, the family wanted to buy a girl again. At that time, all the girls in the city already knew that the place was hell. They were very afraid, so they went to the old nun. It's not because the old man can protect them, it's just that in a desperate situation, it's hard to find someone willing to listen and comfort them.
The girls did not expect that although Lao Ni is not good at martial arts, he is an expert who knows strange arts. She dug a secret darkroom in the mountain behind the Caolu. She prepared early, thinking that she had no ability, but hoped to be able to do it. Let the girl in desperation have a place to live. Old Ni hid six girls and rescued them. She also didn't give up on the wicked family and this kind of behavior of selling women for money. She persisted for a long time, and slowly she got the help of many people. They gave her food and helped her build a house. Later, the wicked family moved out of Ning'an City under pressure, and the old man regretted that he did not get the punishment he deserved. At this time, many people in the city also changed their minds and felt that selling women to seek money was not an honor. And because the old man kept complaining, he finally alerted the court, and Ning'an City welcomed a good official, bringing a lot of livelihood to the city and beyond. The atmosphere of the whole city has changed.
In order to thank the old nun for what he had done for Ning'an City, the city official raised money to build a nunnery for her. The old nun agreed. She even drew a picture and made a request for the building. She said that the nunnery does not ask for a big body, it is good to have a body, and the Buddha does not ask for a golden body, and it is compassionate. At the beginning, the six girls she rescued were unwilling to leave. They worshiped under the sect of Lao Ni and converted to Buddhism. And Ning Fu An also got its name from this, and it has become a temple with a lot of incense.
Ningfu'an's temple was built on top of the secret path darkroom dug by the old nun. The old nun spent many years repairing and perfecting the secret path darkroom. She warned her disciples to come to the temple for help if any woman suffers. , in any case, must accept. If you are powerless to fight against those who do evil, just like her, hide the suffering woman in the underground dark room to protect her safety. In this way, the underground darkroom has been passed down from generation to generation. In order to teach that the darkroom is really useful when it can be used, the abbots of Ningfu Nunnery in all dynasties rarely publicized this matter, and only passed the secret darkroom to a few disciples. But after all, this is not a big secret, few people know it, but some people know it.
Ran Feize knew that there was a secret way under the temple because Su Xiaopei chose this temple. She said that the sound of "Buddha" also means "four" in her hometown. Du Chengming will definitely find a place to carry out his fourth case. It is better for her to choose instead of him. She went to several temples, inquired about temples and people, and finally Ningfu An became her first choice. When she was praying to Buddha at Ningfu An, she told the abbot her idea of using your land to catch thieves. The abbot knew who she was. The female master with short hair and a hat was implicated in the robbery of the little hunter girl in the suburbs. The abbot had heard of it. So the abbot trusted Su Xiaopei. After she heard that the mysterious murderer killed three women in a row and will continue to kill, she said four words: "It is my duty."
So things started quietly. The Mingxiu disciples dressed up as sister-in-law and slowly replaced the disciples in the nunnery for several days. In the end, the real sister-in-law was only the abbot and the trustworthy elder disciples. This time, the Mingxiu faction did their best to help in this matter. The disciples worked hard to wear headgear, learn to chant scriptures, learn the behavior of their sister-in-law, learn the rules of the nunnery, and hide the pilgrims in the nunnery. After going over, I thought it was a group of aunts who had transferred from another temple. They camouflaged and lurked until the robbers occupied Ning Fu Nunnery.
Ran Feize heard Su Xiaopei say that there is an underground darkroom in the nunnery and temple. He also looked at the map, but the place where Su Xiaopei's coffin was placed was not connected to the dark passage, and it was quite a distance away, so he didn't think of that at that time. Su Xiaopei should not have thought of it either. Du Chengming really exceeded their expectations. There is an extra secret passage, which means that after he followed Su Xiaopei to choose this temple, he also made a lot of preparations.
Ran Feize hurried along the tunnel. The tunnel was newly dug, with seven turns and eight bends. The four walls were uneven. The width of the road varied from time to time. Zhezi, he kept walking, and finally saw a little light ahead. He listened carefully to the movement, but there was no sound. He rushed over with a few strides, pushed aside the grass branches at the entrance of the hole, and looked at it, it was actually outside the nunnery.
Ran Feize jumped out, hurriedly looked around, and searched for a while, but saw no suspicious traces. At this time, Xiao Qi brought people over: "Feize, it's too bad, those masked men bleed from their seven orifices and died. I explored them, and they were all poisoned. Once they use force, they will activate the poison. send."
Ran Feize nodded, indicating that he heard it. Nothing surprises him now, or that he has succeeded in forcing himself to calm down. Before, he was still guessing how Du Chengming let these robbers retreat without confessing him, but now the answer is out, he didn't plan to let these people retreat, he killed them all.
"The veils of all of them were uncovered, and Du Chengming was not found."
Ran Feize nodded again, of course he couldn't be there, Du Chengming wouldn't mix with these people and fight with them.
"While a few of them were still alive, I forced them to ask a few questions. The leader said that they didn't know where Du Chengming went. He said that he was usually covered with their faces, and he told them what to do and left after he made up his mind. The others, I don't have a chance to ask, they are all dead." Xiao Qi looked around and said, "Where does the tunnel lead to here? He has already kidnapped Miss Su?" He turned to his disciple and said: "Quickly disperse to chase, and send a signal when you find it." Several people quickly dispersed.
Ran Feize shook his head this time. He turned and ran towards the temple. Xiao Qi hurriedly followed: "Why, aren't you chasing?"
"He didn't leave, he's still in the nunnery."
Sima Wanru was sure that someone was following her, she quickened her pace, as if to take a shortcut, and walked into a small alley. There was no one in the alley. Sima Wanru started running, turned a corner, and stopped behind the wall. She heard footsteps running over. She stuck her head out and saw no one. A person was blocked not far away, with a mask in his hand and a knife in his hand. Sima Wanru turned around and saw that there was also a person behind him, a masked face and a sword in his hand.
Sima Wanru snorted coldly, "What do you want to do?"
The man with the knife pushed forward a few steps: "If you don't want to get hurt, just follow us obediently."
"Why don't you go?"
The two men came up with swords: "I can't help you."
Sima Wan sneered, throwing away the cloth in her hand, drawing|pulling out the long sword, she opened the frame, and shouted: "If you don't want to get hurt, then just keep your hands and capture it."
The two sneered: "By you?" They rushed over after saying that. Sima Wan picked up the tip of his sword, spread out his arms and pushed his palms, and greeted him. At this time, several people rushed out from all directions, and the swords in their hands slashed at the two masked men. One of the young men shouted: "Miss Sima, I am Ji Jiawen of the Xuanqing faction, we are here to protect you."
Someone next to him shouted, "Eighteen, you idiot, it's up to you to explain it."
Sima Wanru couldn't help but chuckle. She knew that there was someone around her to protect her, and she also arranged according to the plan that if anyone wanted to attack her, she would lead her to a secluded place, and gather everyone's strength to take them down so that they could be judged behind the scenes. It's really interesting that this young man is blankly reporting his identity. She said: "Thank you all heroes." When she was talking, she saw Chang Jun who was silent and only stood in front of her and was struggling to fight the enemy. Her smile stagnated, don't look away.
Su Xiaopei also wanted to turn away at this time, she really didn't want to see Du Chengming's disgusting smile. In the coffin, she was trying to concentrate on analyzing the case so that she didn't have time to be afraid. Suddenly, she heard the sound of movement on the other side of the coffin board. She was so frightened that she turned over and stared at the wall board, but heard a "click". With a sound, the siding was removed, and she met Du Chengming's eyes.
Du Chengming shot quickly and covered her mouth. Su Xiaopei tried his best to relax his body and pretended to be powerless. "I'm still awake." The words he said made Su Xiaopei understand that the strange smell he smelled before was really weird.
She didn't try to struggle, she just blinked and looked at Du Chengming. Du Chengming observed for a moment and dragged her down. "It seems that the portion is not enough, it's not bad to be awake, it's better." He closed the coffin board, and then carried Su Xiaopei into the tunnel. Su Xiaopei put his own weight on his arm, making him feel that he was really addicted | drug. She didn't struggle, didn't speak, let him take her away.
The tunnel was very dark, Du Chengming didn't have a clue, Su Xiaopei couldn't see anything, he only felt that after turning two corners, he pushed away a wall, and then she was thrown in. Here is another tunnel, with a small oil lamp hanging on the wall. With that light, Su Xiaopei saw Du Chengming close the wall again. He turned his head to see her gaze and smiled: "Dark hole, who would notice that there is a door on the wall?"
Su Xiaopei didn't answer, she was lying on the ground, looking like she didn't have the strength to climb out. Du Chengming held her up and continued to walk with her. Another bend, and I touched a hidden door by the wall, pushed it open, and threw her in.
This time, because there was a little light, Su Xiaopei could see that the door was actually smeared with soil on the board, fastened to the wall, and integrated with the wall. It was very simple, but it was really hard to notice it in the dark.
Su Xiaopei was dragged up again and walked inside. This time, there are small oil lamps on both sides of the tunnel, and the light is much better. The walls and floors are also paved with stone bricks, apparently specially repaired. Su Xiaopei knew that this must be the original darkroom in the nunnery.
There is indeed a darkroom. Du Chengming carried her for a long time. The underground passage was quite complicated. He actually knew the way. He found a large dark room, walked in, pushed aside a wall, and threw Su Xiaopei in. recovered.
Su Xiaopei looked around and saw that the room they were in was very small, with only a small table and two chairs. There was still tea on the table.
Du Chengming dragged Su Xiaopei up and threw her on a chair. He looked at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "You are not addicted to medicine."
Su Xiaopei blinked and looked back at Du Chengming, then she sat up straight.
Du Chengming burst out laughing, he sat on the other chair and looked at Su Xiaopei: "Do you know how I noticed it? You pretended to be quite alike before, but the light will be better now, I'll throw you here. On the chair, in order not to fall, you propped up your body. Su Xiaopei, you see, human beings are like this, instinct dominates everything, you know in your heart that you will fall to the ground, you know that falling will hurt, so your instinct is better than yours Your brain is fast. It exposes you."
"So what if it's exposed? It's not a big deal. Whether I'm in your fandom|medicine, it won't have much impact on the bureau you set up." Su Xiaopei stopped pretending and spoke very loudly.
"That's right." Du Chengming smiled and poured himself a cup of tea. "It really doesn't have much effect. In fact, the drug is just to prevent you from struggling and crying in the coffin and causing trouble. I plan to bring you here and give you the antidote. You are sober. , I have more fun."
pleasure? Really metamorphosis. Su Xiaopei looked at him coldly.
Du Chengming drank the tea and asked, "You are not addicted to the medicine, why don't you struggle and call for help, and let me take you away?"
"You didn't give it a chance." The first thing he did was cover her mouth. Su Xiaopei stared at him: "I'm afraid of dying too soon, and I still want to leave the opportunity to expose your ugly deeds to the public."
Du Chengming smiled: "Chance? Do you think you still have it?" He lowered his eyelids and stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, as if he was gently stroking his beloved.
"Of course I have." Su Xiaopei said calmly, "I'm afraid you won't have the chance to do evil again."
"Really?" Du Chengming raised his eyes and smiled at her: "How are you going to stop me?"
"You took a lot of thought to find those robbers. You must have good reasons to persuade them to take risks. You must be an old acquaintance before you believe in you. Since you are an old acquaintance, you can't stay with them. The next clue. As long as you catch them, you will be judged from them, and you are inseparable from this robbery."
Du Chengming was in no hurry and continued to laugh: "How can the robbery incident be related to all the previous incidents? There is no English letter, no case sign, and the modus operandi and format are completely different. Is it still a serial case? This time The robber asked for a ransom, but there was no previous one. This time the robber will kill thirty-five girls, there was only one before, you see, it is completely different."
"There are thirty-seven hostages?"
"No, thirty-eight. You were tempted to release two people before, and after a while, one hour after you entered the coffin, they will release one more person, and the remaining thirty-five people will all be killed. ." He said it lightly, as if the thirty-five were not human lives, but flowers and plants.
Su Xiaopei did not speak.
Du Chengming said with a smile: "It's really interesting to say that six people are released in one hour, but they still only release one person. Think about it, those people outside the nunnery thought that you could save six people by being buried, but only one person turned out. What will they look like when they find out that they have been tricked? But they have no choice, because you are already in the coffin, and the life of the hostage is in the hands of the robbers, so only one person is released, and they can only accept it. Quite Helpless, right? But, just when they comforted themselves, it doesn't matter if you let one person go, you are still holding on, and when there is still a chance later, the robbers returned to the house and quietly killed all the hostages. How will they feel when they know?"
Su Xiaopei glared at him, Du Chengming laughed: "Su Xiaopei, the human heart is really interesting. Hope, disappointment, hope again, and then despair."
"They didn't get the money, they killed everyone, didn't they cut off their own way of making money?"
"Isn't there still you?" Du Chengming laughed horribly. "Who will know that the hostages are all dead before everything is over? If the people outside really wait until the second hour, they will wait until the robbers say that they have decided not to let them go, and they will not let them go any more. There are hostages in hand, and you are there. If the government does not send money, they will kill one every hour. So everyone continues to wait for the third hour. When the time is up, they throw a corpse out. Those people outside can only watch and imagine The pain and fear of the hostage inside, imagine that you are lying in a coffin. Ah, that Ran Feize, he is very good to you, I don’t know if he can bear it. You say, you are in more pain in the coffin, or Does he look a little more tormented from the outside?"
Su Xiaopei gritted his teeth and hated in his heart.
"By the way, do you want to ask, why do you want to kill them all at once, since I told the outsiders to kill one every hour, you can take your time, right? It's very simple, because I don't want them to have a chance to rescue them. Any one, the first three, is enough. If they attacked and rescued people in advance, they thought it was a surprise, they thought they were winning, but they rushed in and only saw a room of corpses. You say, what would their expressions be at that time? "
"You pervert!"
"Pervert? No, no, you're wrong, everyone has the right to enjoy pleasure, but everyone has different ways of getting pleasure. Everyone, if they have the means and ability, can get what they want, why? don't want?"
Su Xiaopei didn't answer, there is no reason to talk to such a twisted person. She asked, "Then what are we waiting for here?"
"Waiting to taste the fruits of victory, waiting to get out safely, just you and me." Du Chengming looked at Su Xiaopei and saw her spine go cold. "Just you and me," he said again. "People die | all are gone, people are gone | all is gone, only you and me are left."
