Chapter 35 The Second Arhat Murder Case
A week later.
At Beidu Airport, Han Yun walked out with his suitcase and stood on the roadside looking around. Just then, a car stopped in front of him. Han Yun put the suitcase in the trunk and sat in the passenger seat.
"You went to Wuhan to relax. Is everything going well?" Yu Miaomiao asked with a hint of sarcasm.
Han Yun, who had been on the plane for several hours, looked a little tired. He leaned back in his chair and said, "I'm not going to travel to relax, I'm going to verify some things." After he paused, he looked at Yu Miaomiao and asked, "What exactly is the case you mentioned on the phone?"
"This morning, just two hours before I called you, someone called the police and claimed that a body was found on Mingang Road. The case was handed over to the Serious Crime Unit. When Team Leader Li and his team went to investigate the scene and interviewed the people, they found a very interesting place. The residents nearby all said in unison that a huge red light flashed outside their house at about one or two o'clock in the morning last night." Yu Miaomiao said as he drove, "There are witnesses. Guess what they saw?"
"Don't keep me in suspense." Han Yun frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry, but from the time I was in the police academy to the time I became a real police officer, I've read all kinds of cases, but I've never encountered a situation like this." Yu Miaomiao said excitedly: "That's why I called you, because I think you'll definitely be interested. There were witnesses who saw an Arhat falling from the sky. This wasn't someone's dazzle, but someone took a picture of the exact situation at the time."
"A Luohan fell from the sky?" Han Yun wondered.
"Yes, it's the Arhats, the Sixteen Arhats and the Eighteen Arhats. I looked it up, and there are three interpretations of Arhats. One is that they can help get rid of all the troubles in life; the second is that they can accept offerings from the gods in the world; and the third is that they can help people no longer suffer from the cycle of reincarnation." Yu Miaomiao finished explaining and signaled Han Yun with his eyes: "Open my phone, the password is Miaomiao's full spelling."
Han Yun reached out and picked up Yu Miaomiao's phone and entered the password. Yu Miaomiao, who was driving, continued, "Open the album. It should be the first video."
According to what Yu Miaomiao said, Han Yun entered the album, clicked on the first video, and played it. The video was very short, only 0.3 seconds, and was shot from a residential building. Although the video was shaky, it was still clear that there was a Luohan statue about the size of a human, with a red glow on its body and a fierce face, falling from a height of about ten meters.
The Arhat fell very fast, accompanied by a red light, and it emitted a dazzling light when it fell to the ground, which looked like a special effect in a movie or TV series. The background sound of this video should be the voice of the person who filmed it, who kept saying "Fuck, fuck, look what that is?"
"You mean, there is a dead person where this arhat fell?" Han Yun watched the video over and over again. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like it was produced with special effects .
"The witnesses upstairs saw the dazzling red light dissipate, but they didn't see the body from upstairs. After all, it was late at night and the street lights on that road were off. The body was found this morning." Yu Miaomiao said: "The preliminary autopsy by the forensic doctor at the scene showed that the victim was killed by being hit on the head with a hard object. What did the Arhat who fell from the sky in the video hold in his hand?"
Han Yun watched the video again and said, "Bowl, the Buddhist word should be bowl."
"That's right. The Arhat who appeared last night is called the Bowl-raising Arhat among the Eighteen Arhats. I searched the information and found out that he was a monk who begged for alms. However, his method of begging for alms was to raise an iron bowl high to beg for food." Yu Miaomiao turned around, glanced at Han Yun and said, "Pay attention, he raised the iron bowl high."
"Are you trying to say that Team Leader Li has found the murder weapon, the iron bowl?" Cases involving ghosts and gods have existed since ancient times, and in the end, they are nothing more than human error. Han Yun turned off Yu Miaomiao's phone and put it back where it was.
"In the trash can not far from the body, there was an iron bowl with blood on it. The iron bowl was not light, and it was really painful to hit the head." Yu Miaomiao said calmly: "The witness posted the video I showed you online and made a murderer out of it, which instantly attracted a lot of attention. The media also got involved and paid a lot of attention to this matter."
"High media attention may not necessarily be a good thing. It will also hinder the investigation of the case." Han Yun took a deep breath: "Besides, I don't want to show up in front of the media."
"But you've already shown up, and now there's a lot of calls for you to catch the murderer." Yu Miaomiao paused and said, "You weren't here this week, so you might not know, but that Su Mo has been reported on a large page in the Beidu Legal Newspaper, and the words 'criminal trial' were used. Team Leader Li was so angry after reading that report that his nose turned green."
"I told Su Mo not to mention me when reporting the case." Han Yun frowned, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened Weibo, clicked on the Weibo of Beidu Legal News and flipped through it. He soon found a long article titled "The King of Detectives VS the Judge of Crime", which exposed the crimes of Dong Xing and Bai Jing, as well as Tang Feng's experience, etc.
The report described Han Yun's process of solving the case in great detail, but Su Mo was not with Han Yun throughout the process, so how could she know so many details? After reading the article briefly, Han Yun looked at Yu Miaomiao: "You told Su Mo the details described in the report, right?"
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't know you told Su Mo about this, and Su Mo didn't mention it to me. She just asked me to tell you the details of solving the case during an interview, so..." Yu Miaomiao hurriedly explained, blaming herself for speaking too quickly and shouldn't have said this: "Anyway, I didn't know. You had already left Beidu when she interviewed me, and I think she's right. The real situation is what it is. Why hide it on purpose? Isn't reporting about the truth?"
Han Yun closed his Weibo account, put his phone back in his pocket, stopped talking and looked out the window. Seeing this, Yu Miaomiao also stopped making any noise. For a moment, the car was extremely quiet. After a long time, Han Yun turned around and asked, "Did Li Tieyun arrange for Tang Feng to meet Sun Jing?"
"It was arranged, under the surveillance of the police station. I was there at the time, and it was a very touching scene. In order to let Sun Jing remember him, Tang Feng said he would come to see her again in a while. Although Sun Jing was dazed and could not listen to anything others said, she responded when Tang Feng spoke, and she kept holding Tang Feng's hand tightly and refused to let go." Yu Miaomiao sighed: "We all know that they will never see each other again. Suddenly I feel that it would be good if Sun Jing could live in her own world like this. I'm afraid that one day she will wake up and know everything her husband has done for her."
