Chapter 615 Fingerprint
"You are talking nonsense. If you don't explain it to us today, I will tell you that you can't leave this door. You are slandering us. In this holy place of Buddhism, how dare you speak nonsense here?"
The eldest brother was angry.
His fingers were trembling, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut Song Moting into pieces with his knife.
The Dharma name also refers to Song Moting.
"Yes, if you don't say something today, don't even think about leaving this door today."
"Everyone, don't be anxious. Stand still and don't move. Let me explain to you. First of all, why do you say that this box was done by an insider? There is a lock on this box, as you can see.
You put so much money in there, how could you not lock it? You can't just leave the box there so brazenly."
Faming nodded, "Of course we have to lock it. I bought the three locks and brought back three keys. One for the eldest brother, one for the second brother, and one for the master. This is to prevent someone from secretly opening the box and taking the money."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Can you not remain silent?
Even they themselves realized where the problem lay. The lid of the box had been opened, but the lock on the box was intact, proving that no one had used violence to break into the box.
So who used the key to open the box? Only the person with the key can open the box.
How could they open the box if they were not one of them?
It can't be said that these foreign pilgrims know that they have a box with a lot of money in it, and they can also get the key to the lock on their box. It would be enough if they could just get one.
Getting all three is simply a fantasy.
"Oh, judging from this, there really is a thief inside!"
The young man quickly shook off the monk's hand that was twisting his wrist, turned around and walked to Song Moting.
He was finally able to turn over. It hurt terribly when someone twisted his wrist just now.
It was the first time in his life that he was treated as a thief.
“But…but…”
Faming wanted to say that they didn't do it, but he felt powerless to convince others.
"I really want to thank you, comrade. Otherwise, I would have been wrongly accused to death. I really just went into that room by mistake because I was looking for the toilet. I didn't see that broken box at all."
The young man took Song Moting's hand and thanked him.
Others also stared at the monk.
They are treating all of them as idiots, and they are helping the thieves to wrongly accuse good people. If this young man is really sent to the police station, he will not be able to explain himself.
If we accidentally turn it into a false case, it would harm a young person.
"I will solve the mystery for you now. The money is in the house. On the beam of the room just now, there is a small bundle with more than 20,000 yuan in it."
Song Moting's words immediately made the senior brother's face change.
"Big Brother, why are you so nervous?"
The eldest brother tried hard to calm himself down.
"I don't understand what you are saying! Why should I be so nervous? Even if we find the money on the beams in the house, there is no way to prove that it was not stolen by this young man.
What if he stole the money but knew it was hard to take it out, so he hid it on the beam? How can we prove that he didn’t steal the money?”
The eldest brother's heart was pounding. He never expected that anyone would find out what he had done.
Fortunately, apart from the money, there was nothing in the bag that could prove who stole the money. So what could happen even if someone found out?
That doesn't prove that you did it.
He felt a little more at ease.
Full of confidence.
Song Moting smiled.
"Yeah, don't wrongly accuse my senior brother. My senior brother is not that kind of person."
Faming excitedly defended their senior brother.
"What's going on? What's going on? Didn't someone call the police to report a thief? Where is the thief?"
At this time, two policemen came over. People had just shouted to call the police, and some people had already refunded their money and ran to call the police. The police were at the foot of the mountain, so it was just a matter of going up the mountain.
"Comrade police, you've come at the right time. We lost more than 20,000 yuan here. We caught this young man, but he didn't admit it. But this comrade not only told us where the money was, but also insisted that it was stolen by the monks in our temple.
We think this is a case of the thief crying "Catch the thief". Maybe this comrade is in cahoots with this young man. The two of them stole the money and hid it on the beams of our house. Now they want to put the blame on us and clear themselves of suspicion. Please help us."
As soon as the eldest brother saw the police, he hurriedly began to explain.
What he said was well-reasoned and there was nothing wrong with it. Even other onlookers were led by his words to think that this was the truth. It really seemed like the thief crying "stop thief".
"Comrade, what's going on? How do you know the money is on the beam?"
When the police heard this, they looked at Song Moting with suspicion. There was nothing they could do. After listening to the story, they also felt that there were many suspicious points. First of all, Song Moting was an outsider. How did he know that the money was on the beam?
How could anyone know the whereabouts of the money if they were not an insider?
"Comrade police officer, my name is Song Moting, and I am a student at the Medical University. This time I brought my children here for a stroll. To tell you the truth, when we were strolling here, we accidentally saw someone climbing up the beams.
Then the young man was caught, so I guess the man who climbed up the beam must have hidden the money there.”
Song Moting looked at his senior brother meaningfully.
The eldest brother blushed, "Maybe you are the thief crying thief. You saw someone climbing up the beam, but how can you prove who that person is? That's all your one-sided statement. If you are colluding with others and are also a thief, then you can throw this basin of dirty water on others to clear yourselves."
"What you said really makes sense. I guess everyone will suspect that I did it. It's very simple, police comrade. Before the thief climbed up the beam, he thought a lot.
There was definitely no mark on the bundle, and there was nothing in the bundle that could prove his identity. It was really hard to say who stole the money, but the person who put the bundle on the beam forgot one thing: the beam had not been cleaned for many years.
There is a lot of dust on it. He left fingerprints on it when he put the bag down. Police comrades, this is your job. I believe that with your technical ability, it should be easy to find out who the fingerprint belongs to.
If he wasn't a thief, why would he climb up to the beam to put the bag? And the new fingerprints can be easily distinguished from the old ones."
The eldest brother looked pale.
Completely spread out on the ground.
