1PIAADITSB Chapter 34

“Zhou Ling, please help me find all information about Three Sages Park. I think the killer is trying to do what the ancient three sages did.” Song Yang patted her shoulder and turned to leave.

The latter was stunned and muttered to herself, “What the ancient three sages wanted to do? How would I know? I’m not them. You’ve given me a tough problem!”

Despite her words, she still went to find a solution.

Song Yang took a taxi to Three Sages Park. He wanted to see the crime scene himself.

Nothing was said along the way.

After paying and getting out of the car, Song Yang showed his Investigator ID/Badge and entered Three Sages Park, which was already cordoned off.

At this moment, many people had gathered here. Some were relatives of the deceased, shouting at the entrance, and others were there to join the fun and see the progress of the investigation.

There were also many reporters. He recognized Jiang Ge from Kangxian Newspaper, but the latter didn’t see him.

The others were all local TV anchors.

Song Yang had no reason to believe that before long, media from the entire province would be there, after all, so few people survived in this 299 case.

He entered through a small opening in the blockade and, following the instructions given by the investigator, successfully arrived at Three Sages Lake.

–This is the crime scene.

There were still many investigators coming and going. The lake was surrounded by large piles of sludge dredged from the bottom, emitting a stench.

Three Sages Lake was not small. Song Yang walked quickly, and after about half an hour, he had measured the entire lake.

The result was not optimistic. He didn’t find anything strange here.

Where the ancient three sages jumped into the lake to commit suicide, and where they were enshrined.

Song Yang didn’t know.

‘If I had known, I wouldn’t have pretended to be in complete control.’

He secretly regretted it.

Besides the sludge, many small trees grew lushly around. He stood at the starting point he had just left, his gaze crossing the entire lake.

Directly opposite was a winding mountain path. He only had to look up to see a tower.

‘Could the temple be there?’

According to Zhou Ling, Three Sages Park had a Three Sages Temple used to enshrine the three sages.

He started walking again, towards the path.

Before he reached the top of the mountain, the smell of burning incense wafted towards him. Song Yang’s face lit up and he hurriedly quickened his pace.

The smell of burning incense meant he was on the right track. There was indeed a temple there.

Reaching the hillside, he saw a temple courtyard. Three huge incense burners stood in the yard. It would take several adults to hug them. Three thick sticks of sandalwood were burning slowly in the middle of each burner.

‘I wonder when they’ll burn out? Are temples so time-saving and labor-saving now?’

In front of the incense burners was a temple. Song Yang approached and saw the plaque above it, which read:

–Little Self-Sufficient Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple.

There was also a couplet on the doorposts on both sides.

Upper line: The treasure hall towers to the sky, the light of wisdom shines brightly, the cool ancient temple is surrounded by clouds.

Lower line: The Zen master does good deeds, the Dharma heart returns to vastness, the clear immortal pool sleeps in the moonlight.

Pushing the door open, there was only a strangely shaped Bodhisattva statue inside.

Ordinary Bodhisattva statues are kind and gentle, giving people a feeling of warmth and harmony.

But the moment Song Yang stepped in, he felt a wave of yin and heat rushing towards him. The Bodhisattva in the hall gave him a vague feeling of a sneer.

‘What’s going on? It’s such a bright day, is it haunted? Big brother, you’re a Bodhisattva, don’t mess around!’

Cheering himself up, he walked around the temple. Besides the strange Bodhisattva and the eerie atmosphere, he didn’t find anything else.

Walking out of the temple gate, Song Yang suddenly remembered something.

He quickly walked down the steps to the incense burner on the far left and looked at the plaque from the right front to the left rear.

‘Isn’t this the place and direction where the professor took out the photo of Feng Zhizhi in the video?’

This temple was the place Feng Zhizhi had been to. She had been photographed here. As for who took the photo, he didn’t know.

‘So, Feng Zhizhi is related to this place? Is the professor’s case also connected to this place?’

Song Yang frowned and pondered.

‘No, it’s too arbitrary to connect things so quickly. I still need more accurate evidence.’

Crossing the temple, Song Yang continued down. The tower was still below.

After climbing for a while, he saw another temple.

Like the first temple, it was still the Little Self-Sufficient Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple, with the same incense burners, and even the placement of the burners was exactly the same.

Except for the different expressions of the Bodhisattva statues in the temple, everything else was the same.

Continuing down, the third, the fourth.

The situation was basically the same.

Song Yang felt a little unbelievable.

Without much investigation, he continued down and finally arrived at the top of the mountain. A copper-locked tower appeared before him, with upturned eaves and a ringing bell, truly quaint and elegant.

The tower had three floors.

From top to bottom, the first floor was inscribed with: Ten Dwellings. The second floor was inscribed with: Ten Practices. The third floor was inscribed with: Ten Dedications.

Looking at it, that’s where the statues of the three sages were located.

However, when Song Yang prepared to enter the door of the first floor of the tower, he found that the temple door was locked. There was no way to enter without a key. After carefully searching the tower, he indeed didn’t find any useful clues. He came to the bluestone railing around the outside of the tower. Here, he could have a panoramic view of the entire Three Sages Park.

‘If I were the manipulator, I would definitely be watching these people jump into the lake to commit suicide here tonight!’

‘The four almost identical temples seem to be worshipping this Three Sages Temple? What sages would make the Bodhisattva be subservient to them?’

‘Besides, they are only Bodhisattvas. Could it be that the position of the three sages is higher than that of the Guanyin Bodhisattva?’

Just as he was thinking this, Zhou Ling suddenly called, asking him to return to the Investigation Bureau as soon as possible.

Although she didn’t say what it was, Song Yang vaguely felt that it was related to the 299 case and that there was a major breakthrough in the case.

So he hurried back.

When he entered the conference room, there were already 20 people from the task force sitting inside. He had to say, with so many people staring at him, Song Yang was a bit socially awkward. After saying “Sorry,” he hurriedly went to sit down next to Team Leader Yu. Seeing him sit down, Zhou Ling opened his mouth and said: “There is a latest development in the 299 case, Lao Wei, share our investigation results with them.”

Wei Zheng Rong nodded and looked around: “Through the intensified investigation of our investigators, we have found some strange points.”

“First, the residences of the 299 people all revolve around Three Sages Park.”

Lao Wei turned on the projector and marked the addresses of the deceased.

The points were scattered, just right around Three Sages Park, and these points were connected together.

Lao Wei continued: “It’s two words!”

–Become Buddha!

Connecting the residential locations of the deceased actually spelled out the two characters “Become Buddha.”
