"The prefect's tomb was built in the middle of a triangle," Li Xiusheng called Zhao Yu to a secluded place outside the tomb and said, "This is extremely rare in ancient tombs! It's very unsuitable for Fengshui! Look, the tomb is surrounded by mountains. Although it hides the wind, it doesn't reveal any water! There's more than enough Qi to gather, but the five elements are lost. It's so unreasonable! "
"Qiu Cheng was the prefect during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was already a tendency for local separatist rule. Luya was located at the crossroads between the north and the south. Qiu Cheng must have been a local official with a lot of troops. Why would such a person build himself a tomb that is unsuitable for Fengshui? "
Hearing Li Xiusheng's two questions, Zhao Yu was confused. No matter if it was his previous or current life, he knew nothing about Fengshui.
"The Twelve Golden Buddhas, the Twelve Golden Buddhas!" Li Xiusheng said excitedly. "The ancient legend might be true! It's true! "
Twelve Golden Buddhas?!
Zhao Yu was even more confused, and shook his head.
"Prefect Qiu buried himself in such a place that is unsuitable for Fengshui. He must have his reasons!" Li Xiusheng seemed to be talking incoherently due to his excitement. "He must have some other purpose for doing so!"
"What purpose?"
"Police officer, do you know about Qinshan's Golden Buddha Temple?" Li Xiusheng asked casually.
"I know! It's now a park, with an ancient lotus pond and a forest of steles, "Zhao Yu answered." Twenty-five dollars for a ticket. Why? "
"Golden Buddha Temple got its name because there used to worship Golden Buddhas! This Golden Buddhas might have something to do with Prefect Qiu! "Li Xiusheng was shivering as he spoke. Obviously, what he said shocked him.
But, the more Zhao Yu listened, the more he felt that something was amiss. He quickly asked, "Master, I don't understand. What does this have to do with the Tomb Murder Case?"
"Yes, it's very related!" Li Xiusheng quickly pointed to the ancient tomb in the distance and said, "I just looked at it carefully. The cultural relics in the tomb were basically untouched. At most, one-fifth of them were stolen. There are still many valuable things in there that have not been touched! This is not the style of a normal tomb robber. "
"Damn!" Zhao Yu was in a mess. He wanted to urge him to hurry up, but the master was so illogical that he just kept going on and on.
"What the grave robbers took were things that could be easily taken away, and they did it very casually! Some were buried in the soil or needed to be repaired, but they didn't even touch them. They just left like that, and it seemed like they left in a hurry! " Li Xiusheng continued, "Logically speaking, the location was so remote, and they had plenty of time to slowly deal with the cultural relics. So, there shouldn't be a single piece left!"
What did that mean!?
Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows. Judging from the corpses, the murderer had killed very calmly, but they had left in a hurry. Wasn't this contradictory?
"Listen to me … Hmm …" Li Xiusheng reorganized his words and continued the previous topic. "According to legend, there are twelve Golden Buddha statues in the Gold Buddha Temple, hence the name! And according to historical records, the twelve Golden Buddha statues were most likely related to Prefect Qiu! "
"According to historical records, there was a drought in the Luya area during the first Wanli period. It lasted for three years, and the disaster was very serious. The people had no way to make a living!" Li Xiusheng said seriously, "At that time, the governor of Luya led a group of people to the local temple to pray for rain. In order to show his sincerity, the governor even united with the local tycoons and made twelve statues of Golden Buddha statues with pure gold. Later, the temple got its name from this! "
"Gold Buddha Temple, Golden Buddha, and then?" Zhao Yu urged.
"But," Li Xiusheng continued, "there was no record of what happened after the rain was prayed for. But there was a rumor in the unofficial history that the prefect's praying for rain was fake, but his real motive was to earn money. He painted the twelve Golden Buddha statues with gold paint and placed them in the temple! As for the real Gold Buddha statues, they have been replaced by him! "
"What the heck!" Zhao Yu exclaimed. "A heifer as a nun … That's f * cking awesome! The ancient people were so wise. They could even think of such a method? "
"Police officer, if the rumor is true, then … where would the prefect hide the Golden Buddha statues?" Li Xiusheng stared and said, "Could it be … his grave?!"
"Oh …" Zhao Yu finally understood and said, "You mean, Qiu Cheng was the prefect who replaced the Golden Buddha statues with the fake ones! This grave belonged to Qiu Cheng, so the Golden Buddha statues were hidden in his grave! And the tomb robbers came for the Golden Buddha statues! Now … they have already stolen the Golden Buddha statues! "
"Yes!" Li Xiusheng clapped his hands and said, "Look, it's just a prefect's grave. What good stuff can be dug out? Is it worth killing for such a small thing? But, if it's the Golden Buddha statues, then it's different, right? "
"Oh … That makes sense!" Zhao Yu nodded, but he was even more confused. He felt that such a case seemed too legendary, and it was hard for him to accept.
"This grave was not built according to normal Fengshui, so it was naturally difficult for people to find it!" Li Xiusheng said, "Unless one was extremely lucky, otherwise, even the top tomb robbers would find it hard to find this grave! Then … The person who died was an old expert from the Cultural Relics Bureau, so … "
"Oh … You mean …" Zhao Yu pondered and said, "This grave was not the work of the tomb robbers? But a group of experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau? They did it for … for the Golden Buddha statues!? "
"No!" Li Xiusheng said with certainty, "I have checked the robber's hole. It was very professional and skillful. The people from the Cultural Relics Bureau would never be able to dig it out!
"So …" Li Xiusheng said mysteriously, "I think … This is a business deal! The old experts knew some clues about the Golden Buddha statues, but they couldn't break into the grave, so they hired professional tomb robbers. Both parties worked together and successfully found the Golden Buddha statues! Then, the tomb robbers got greedy and killed the old experts. What do you think? Is it like this? "
Tsk tsk …
Zhao Yu thought about it carefully and felt that Li Xiusheng's deduction was very reasonable. But … There was still one thing that he couldn't understand. The missing people were three old experts! Why did the tomb robbers only kill one? Since they already got the Golden Buddha statues, why didn't they kill all the old experts?
"Let me put it this way, police officer!" Li Xiusheng was still very excited, "If the Twelve Golden Buddha statues really exist, once they are found, it will definitely be the biggest news in the archaeological world! Not only is it priceless, but it is also a historical witness of Qinshan, a spiritual symbol! So, the value of the Golden Buddha statues is quite high, and it is no less than the Terracotta Army! So, no matter what, you have to catch the tomb robbers! Such a cultural relic cannot be lost! "
Holy sh * t …
Zhao Yu was speechless. He had never thought that a seemingly ordinary murder case would involve so many complicated things!
Why did the twelve Golden Buddha statues pop up?
Did the Golden Buddha statues really exist? Did the prefect really hide them in his own grave, and then they were stolen by the tomb robbers?
Why … Why does it sound so strange?
Is it possible?
Hey?
Wait a minute …
Suddenly, Zhao Yu thought of something that Li Xiusheng had said. He said that not all the cultural relics in the ancient tomb were stolen by the tomb robbers, at most one-fifth of them were stolen.
Right?
If so, didn't it mean that the tomb robbers only used an ordinary car to take the cultural relics away?
In other words, the direction of the surveillance camera was wrong. They had been staring at the truck and the big car. Now it seemed that even an ordinary car could take away the cultural relics in the tomb? Plus, the Golden Buddha statues could be on top of it?
Then, Zhao Yu quickly called the police office to remind them to check the traffic video of Yunyang County again.
Li Beini picked up the phone. Unexpectedly, before Zhao Yu could say anything, Li Beini had already told him the latest news.
When he heard the news, Zhao Yu's head buzzed, and he was dumbfounded!
