Wen Xin: "Old sir, please look, this is the magic weapon I am using."
The old man spoke in a low voice, but loud enough for me to hear: "Vajra? Yes, it is a good thing."
The vajra is a ritual implement of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. It symbolizes the invincible and indestructible wisdom and the true Buddha nature, and is one of the commonly used ritual implements in Tantric Buddhism. If Wen Xin had such a genuine ritual implement, even if he himself did not know how to practice, he could still avoid the pursuit of evil spirits.
The old man said, "A vajra blessed by a great tantric monk is not an easy instrument to obtain. Moreover, I think this vajra is an antique. You must have spent a lot of effort to get it, right?"
Wen Xin said awkwardly: "It took a lot of effort..."
The old man's voice suddenly became louder: "Did you ask for the vajra because you feel guilty?"
"No... No..." Wen Xin waved his hands quickly and said, "I just like antiques."
When Wen Xin met Gu Laotou for the first time, even though he trusted him completely, he would not easily reveal his secrets to him.
The old man said in a deep voice: "Don't be nervous. Even if you want to talk, I don't want to listen. You are too involved in the right and wrong of the world. I don't want to wade into this muddy water. You can do whatever you want!"
I heard some noise in the living room, and it seemed that the old man was about to stand up and leave. Wen Xin hurriedly said, "Old man, don't go, don't go! Please have mercy on me and show me a way out!"
The old man said: "The person who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it! No one can help you."
“Old sir, please stay, please stay…” Soon I saw the old man walking out of the house, but Wen Xin did not follow him.
Gu Lao rushed to the surveillance point in the first few steps: "Captain Du, am I doing okay?"
Lao Du frowned and asked, "Why didn't you trick the magic weapon over here?"
The old man said, "It definitely won't work this time. Wen Xin won't give up easily. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely get the thing for you!"
Lao Du looked at the other party and asked: "Are you going to the Wen family tomorrow?"
The old man said: "If he doesn't go to the Wen family, he can meet me somewhere else. I am an expert in this matter."
Lao Du glanced at him and said, "Go and have a rest first. I'll see you tomorrow."
After Lao Du arranged for a policeman to take the old man away, he said, "Xiao Li, get me a search warrant right away. Say someone reported Wen Xin for reselling cultural relics."
According to the old man's description, the vajra is also a cultural relic in the strict sense. If Wen Xin cannot explain the origin of the vajra, Lao Du has the right to detain the vajra as a cultural relic. In this way, we can still achieve our goal. However, it is a bit risky to do so.
However, Lao Du no longer cares about so many things.
Xiao Li quickly got the search warrant, and Lao Du also led people to the villa.
Soon after Lao Du entered the room, he took the intercom and shouted, "Xiao Wu, come here quickly, something happened!"
I didn't have time to think about anything, I stood up and ran towards the villa. When I rushed into the villa's living room, the first thing I saw was Wen Xin collapsed on the sofa. I reached out and touched Wen Xin's nose, and suddenly changed color and said, "Tell Xiao Li to keep an eye on that old man."
Lao Du grabbed the intercom and called "Hello" twice. Seeing no response, he turned and rushed out the door. Not long after, Lao Du, with a livid face, came back and said, "That old man knocked Xiao Li unconscious and ran away! How is Wen Xin?"
I shook my head and said, "He's dead. His vajra is also lost."
"Dead?" Old Du was shocked and reached out to feel Wen Xin's pulse twice, then lifted up his eyelids to take a look, then sat down on the sofa dejectedly.
He was the one who brought Gu Laotou out. Now Gu Laotou not only ran away, but also killed Wen Xin. Lao Du cannot escape this responsibility. Even if he is not sentenced, the police have done their job.
Lao Du was silent for just over a minute before he said to the police standing in the house, "You all go! I will take care of everything here."
Several policemen looked at each other for a few seconds before someone spoke up: "Captain Du, we can't leave. Regarding this matter, we..."
"Shut up!" Lao Du shouted in a low voice, "Do you think your clothes are too long? Get out of here."
I then said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Some things may not be hopeless. Trust me, don't report what's going on right now. It will only take one day."
Lao Du looked at me and said, "I can't let them get into trouble..."
I waved my hand to interrupt him before Lao Du finished speaking: "It's not about who is getting in trouble now. If you don't listen to me, you will be doomed. If you listen to me, maybe things can turn around."
Lao Du was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "I believe you. What are you going to do?"
"Search the Wen family immediately to see if there are any useful clues. Be careful not to mess up the things." I said in a deep voice, "Leave Wenxin here, no one is allowed to touch it. Let's get started!"
Lao Du nodded to several policemen, who immediately searched Wenxin's home and soon found a diary.
I flipped through it roughly: "Put everything back in place, evacuate the house immediately, and return to the surveillance point."
Although Lao Du and the others didn't know what I was going to do, they still did what I said.
After I threw the diary to Lao Du, I have been monitoring the situation at Wenxin's home. It was not until nightfall that Lao Du finished reading the diary: "Xiao Wu, according to what Wenxin wrote in the diary, he got into trouble with the gods because of tomb robbing."
Old Du didn't wait for me to say anything before he continued to explain: "More than 20 years ago, Wen Xin was just an idle and unemployed young man. At that time, Wen Xin heard that tomb robbing could make a lot of money, so he set his sights on the legendary tomb of a royal concubine. According to the diary, the princess was called the Black Concubine."
"There is a legend in Wenxin's hometown: the Black Concubine, who was originally from Ningguta, loved watching fish the most when she was alive. The emperor built a fish-watching platform for her in the upper reaches of Taizi River. After the Black Concubine died, she was to be buried in her hometown. When the coffin passed by the fish-watching platform, it could not be pushed. Some people said that the Black Concubine wanted to stay in the fish-watching platform. There was also a shaman who specifically asked the Black Concubine. Later, the shaman said that the Black Concubine also liked the fish-watching platform, but she still missed her hometown, so he built a fake tomb for her here!"
"Local legend has it that the shaman kept the black concubine's hair and nails, built a fake tomb at the Guanyu Terrace, and also kept half of the burial objects bestowed by the emperor. However, in order to prevent tomb robbery, the shaman leveled the grave and killed the people who built the tomb. Therefore, no one knows where the black concubine's fake tomb is."
"Wen Xin was obsessed with finding the Black Concubine's Tomb. At first, a few friends followed Wen Xin to look for it, but after a while, they all left, leaving Wen Xin alone wandering in the mountains."
"That summer, Wen Xin wandered around the mountain for most of the day. He was so tired that he fell asleep before he could get down the mountain. He had a dream in a daze. He dreamed that he was standing where he slept and looking towards the Fish Viewing Terrace. When he was wondering where the Black Concubine's Tomb should be, he suddenly felt someone pushing him from behind and he was almost pushed down the mountain."
"Wen Xin looked back and saw a woman wearing Qing Dynasty clothes standing behind him. She was covered in jewels, but her face was a little dark. Wen Xin shouted 'Black Concubine' and the woman disappeared. Wen Xin woke up at once."
"After Wen Xin woke up, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it must be the Black Concubine who didn't want him to dig the grave and came to scare him. Wen Xin was so desperate for money at the time that he didn't even know what fear was. He simply followed the direction behind him to look for him."
"Wen Xin searched for a while before he found a cave. When he walked into the cave, he discovered a stone altar inside. Wen Xin originally thought that was the Black Concubine's tomb, but who knew that he would encounter an evil ghost in the cave."
"Wen Xin made an agreement with the evil ghost that if he could bring a living person to the evil ghost, the evil ghost would give him treasure. That night, Wen Xin took the evil ghost to a friend's house. After the evil ghost killed someone, he really gave Wen Xin a box of gold. Wen Xin became rich from that time."
"But Wenxin was not destined to get rich. He lost money in everything he did. After a few years, Wenxin's business failed. At that time, although Wenxin fled to Sanxi, the ghost still came. He asked Wenxin for people. As long as Wenxin gave them people, he would help Wenxin."
"Wenxin has been used to a life of debauchery, and he couldn't stand going back to living in a tiled house and sleeping on a kang. Wenxin followed the evil ghost's arrangement and found him a girl, the one we checked on Wenxin last time."
"After that, Wen Xin felt that he couldn't go on like this, so he started to secretly learn Feng Shui, looked for a master, and even bought a vajra at a high price."
Lao Du closed his diary when he finished speaking. "That's all Wenxin wrote down in his latest diary entry. Xiao Wu, do you think there are any clues?"
I stared at Wenxin's villa and said, "The diary is fake."
Lao Du was slightly stunned: "How do you know it's fake?"
"I've heard the legend of the Black Concubine, but I don't think that's possible."
I explained, "Legend has it that when the Qing dynasty was first established, the emperor believed in destiny very much. A shaman once said that if the star of the empress fell by the river, the true empress must be by the river. The emperor at that time sent an imperial envoy to search for the empress along the Ningguta area. When the imperial envoy passed by the Songhua River, he saw a girl from a banner family riding on the wall to watch the fun. He immediately took her as the empress who came on a 'earth dragon' and took her into the palace. The emperor saw that the girl had a dark complexion and gave her the name Black Concubine."
"But after entering the palace, the Black Concubine was depressed and never smiled. The emperor learned that the Black Concubine loved the sturgeon from her hometown. In order to make the beauty smile, he sent an imperial envoy to the Songhua River to pay tribute to the sturgeon. In order to save the people of her hometown from being forced to pay tribute, the Black Concubine swore that she would never eat fish again in her life, which dissuaded the emperor from the idea."
