Cheng Shi took the photo and looked at it, and was stunned. He never thought that this would be what he was looking for!
The thing in this photo would surprise Cheng Shi, because it turned out to be a Buddhist scripture, and it was also the Tripitaka with golden letters.
Although the photographer's skills were not very good, the distance was not too far, and the large characters at the beginning were clearly captured.
The sixteenth volume of the Tripitaka is written in Chinese on it. Cheng Shi knew this Tripitaka because of a TV series.
In 1014, the Cao family regime in Shazhou donated horses, agates, jade and other items to the Song Dynasty court, and the court rewarded the Cao family with some things.
Finally, the Cao family wanted the court to reward them with a scripture. The court agreed to the Cao family's request and sent the Tripitaka with golden inscriptions to Dunhuang.
It wasn't until 1900 that the Taoist priest Wang Yuanlu was cleaning up the accumulated sand when the Buddhist Scripture Cave at Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, Gansu Province, China, was discovered.
The Sutra Cave was accidentally discovered, and more than 50,000 cultural relics including Buddhist scriptures, social documents, embroidery, silk paintings, and ritual instruments dating from the 4th to 11th centuries AD were unearthed...
This discovery provides an extremely large amount of precious information with extremely rich content for the study of ancient Chinese and Central Asian history, geography, religion, economy, politics, ethnicity, language, literature, art, and technology.
Later, after being stolen and plundered by explorers from Britain, France, Japan, the United States, Russia and other countries, most of the cultural relics in the Tibetan Scripture Cave were unfortunately scattered around the world.
Only a small part of it remains in the country, causing an unprecedented catastrophe in the history of Chinese culture. Only some fragments of scriptures with blue background and gold characters remain.
When the Tripitaka with golden letters was first discovered, it was not found there, and later generations believed that it was not found in this gold-hiding cave.
Or maybe someone took away the Golden-Character Tripitaka from here before the Eight Kingdoms, but it has not been released for a long time.
After looking at the photo carefully, Cheng Shi solemnly said: "Boss Shao, are the things in this lost, or do you just have this photo and want to find it?!"
Although Cheng Shi has never seen the authentic book, and no one will ever see the authentic book in the future, no one will create a fake Buddhist scripture at present.
Just like forging paintings, it is profitable because the audience is large, but the audience for Buddhist scriptures is too small.
Moreover, so far, these people don't quite understand the value of this kind of Buddhist scripture, so this Buddhist scripture is very likely to be true.
Therefore, Cheng Shi had to find it. He had no idea about the case transferred to Feng Tao, it was all in this book.
Shao Dengke had already sat down at Huang Jinrong's signal. When he heard Cheng Shi's question, he did not hesitate and spoke directly.
“My mother is a Buddhist, and I invited this Buddhist scripture to her a month ago, and it happened that my friend accidentally got this Buddhist scripture.
I took it back from him. Later, my mother liked this Buddhist sutra very much and recited it every day in our Buddhist hall.
Just last night, it was suddenly stolen. My mother is now very anxious and told me to find this Buddhist scripture. "
Cheng Shi said doubtfully: "So that's the case, but, Boss Shao, why did you take a photo of a Buddhist scripture?!"
When Huang Jinrong heard this, he was also a little confused and looked at Shao Dengke. Shao Dengke sighed and continued.
"This is exactly what I want to say next. I know that the Buddhist scriptures were stolen by that person. He is a monk and came to my house a few days ago.
I heard that my family had invited a Buddhist scripture, and I wanted to have a look at it. Finally, I asked my mother to lend him a few days to copy it, and she would agree.
He didn't insist, and then he discussed the Buddhist scriptures with his mother for a day. The monk finally said that he wanted to take pictures and then go back and copy them.
My mother saw that the other party was a monk, so she agreed to the other party taking pictures. Then, just yesterday, the Buddhist scriptures suddenly disappeared.
This monk should have stolen it. I asked people to go to the temple in Shanghai to look for it, but there was no news about this monk at all.
Finally, I found out that he was developing photos at that place. I rushed to that place, and in the end, I only found this photo.
This one was probably the first photo he took. It was a little too excited, so it was a little unclear, so he threw it away. "
Shao Dengke said with some confusion: "Is this man pretending to be a monk just for this Buddhist scripture? Although this Buddhist scripture is written in gold.
But it's not worth much. Since he was able to evade my family's guards, he quietly stole the Buddhist scriptures from my family's Buddhist hall.
Why is the golden Bodhisattva in my Buddhist hall left untouched? Instead, why do you touch this Buddhist scripture? ! "
Cheng Shi couldn't guess the other party's purpose, but one thing was certain: the disappearance of the Buddhist scriptures must be related to that monk.
Cheng Shi did not explain the importance of this Buddhist scripture to the other party. After all, he also wanted to get the Buddhist scripture and pass it on.
Cheng Shi continued: "The other party did not touch the Golden Bodhisattva, but moved the Buddhist scriptures. This shows that the other party may be a real monk and did not touch the Golden Bodhisattva.
Anyway, I have taken over this case now. Boss Shao, can you take me to your Buddhist temple now? ! "
Shao Dengke said doubtfully: "Shouldn't you take people to find that monk now? Why do you want to see the Buddhist temple?!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "You said that we have searched all the temples, but there is no news about this monk at all. This person may be a foreign monk.
Moreover, he may not have done it alone. You have said that there are many guards in your family. Someone in your family may help him. "
Huang Jinrong also said at the side: "Dengke, Cheng Shi's investigation is different from others, but it is definitely fast and accurate."
Shao Dengke then replied: "Of course I believe the chief inspector, and I also know that there must be someone who will cooperate with him, but I have too many family members.
By the time he is found, the out-of-town monk may have disappeared, so there is no time to check this. "
Cheng Shi also nodded in agreement, but he continued.
"But, Boss Shao, you may have forgotten one thing. You just got the Buddhist scriptures not long ago. How did that foreign monk know about it?
This matter didn't make the news, and your family won't talk about it everywhere, so this person should be the one who did it.
The person who wants to get Buddhist scriptures is most likely a local in Shanghai, or even this person is in your home.
Therefore, after the other party succeeds, they probably won't give up their territory and run away, so it's okay for us to investigate again. "
Cheng Shi said this, stood up and said: "However, this person may not leave Shanghai, but the Buddhist scriptures may be taken out of Shanghai.
Therefore, Boss Shao, let’s start the investigation quickly, and I will help you find this Buddhist scripture as quickly as possible! "
Huang Jinrong laughed and said: "Dengke, Cheng Shi's analysis makes sense, so there is no need to worry about people running away for the time being!
You should take Cheng Shi to your house now. Maybe he can help you find the Buddhist scriptures soon! "
Shao Dengke heard Cheng Shi's analysis and felt that it made sense. Moreover, the person who stole the Buddhist scriptures might be his family.
This made him feel a little angry, and he said helplessly: "I will take you there right now. This person must not be my family member!"
