Chapter 20 The "Swastika" Character

"Little Fatty, you went to live with your dad for a few years, and your dad trained you to be a soldier. Then why don't you just join the army?"

"Fuck! I've only been comfortable for a few days. I'll really be a soldier in a few days. Shi Zi, when the time comes, I'll come back in a military vehicle and give you a little cheer."

"Fuck you, you really don't dare to be so arrogant when you really become a soldier and drive a military vehicle.

Xiaopang smiled and took out the box of Buddhist beads bought by "Jingyuan" from the locked drawer in the desk.Passed the box to Qu Censhi.The box is average, nothing special.

Qu Censhi sat on his bed, just about to open the box, he stopped and asked, "Do you have gloves?"

"Yes!" As he spoke, he dragged out a military backpack from under the bed, and took out a pair of white gauze gloves from the backpack that he used when doing hard labor.Although this glove is also called yarn, it is not the fabric called yarn that girls use to wear skirts.Rather a thick, yarn glove.This thing, in the city, is usually worn by sweepers, or when other workers lay underground pipes, and then it is the kind worn by construction workers when they move bricks.

Qu Censhi took the gloves, looked at the pile of white gauze gloves in his bag, and said, "Do you think it's appropriate to use these gloves to touch the prayer beads you bought at that price?"

"Isn't this just a glove? I don't have any other gloves. You don't think that a man like me would have those, that, thin gloves for women, right?" When Jingjing was packing the beads that day, It was the kind of white silk gloves that were close to the hands.

Qu Censhi hesitated for a moment, but still threw his gloves into his military backpack, then opened his closet, and took out his handkerchief from the closet.

Qu Censhi knew the origin of that handkerchief very well.It was when Xiaopang was in junior high school, the little girl he slept with spent more than 200 yuan for a handkerchief from a counter.

At that time, Xiaopang was a mess, always relying on his status as a third-generation official and a family member of an officer.And the little girl likes this kind of thing, so she just followed him.He is not happy to give a gift but is afraid of buying a cheap one.But what happened to the handkerchief?Xiaopang also showed off this handkerchief, but after showing off, he put it directly in a grid in the closet and hid it away ever since.

Qu Censhi knew that handkerchief was there since he was in junior high school, and it's still there after so many years.No one has even moved.It finally worked today.

Qu Censhi carefully opened the box.In the box, the Buddha beads lay there quietly, without any abnormality.He held the prayer beads with a handkerchief and took them out.The small-leaf red sandalwood beads are very moist, and even the knots are very delicate.

Qu Censhi watched carefully, frowning.He couldn't feel any yin, ghost, resentment or anything in the beads.Then why did the tall and thin man have an accident immediately after buying it?

Was he going in the wrong direction?The person who died suddenly was because of the Buddha beads, and Xu Meimei was because of the crystal.And that thin and tall man, after he went to "Jingyuan" to buy Buddhist beads, was hit by a car purely because of his own life?What is certain now is that the tall and thin man bought the Buddha beads from "Jingyuan", and Xu Meimei's crystal was given by "Jingyuan".As for the beads of other people, I still can't be sure.

Is it really wrong?

Fatty also stared at the beads carefully, and said, "Hey, aren't the beads related to Buddha? They said they were consecrated. Could this thing bring bad luck?"

Qu Censhi put the beads back into the box, and said: "The beads that are really going to be raised are selected based on the horoscope. If the one you choose happens to be your own god of jealousy, it may really bring bad luck. "

Xiaopang frowned: "Then I bought this for nothing."

"Don't give it to your grandma until the matter is clear." Qu Censhi suddenly looked at the Buddhist beads and became puzzled, "Here comes the magnifying glass."

Xiao Pang didn't know what he had discovered, but he still found a military folding magnifying glass in his bag and handed it over.

Qu Censhi held the beads with the handkerchief and looked at them under the magnifying glass.Where the beads are threaded, there is a small nick.If you don't use a magnifying glass to look at it, the little marks will not be considered as a little wear mark when drilling holes for the beads.But under a magnifying glass, the wear marks can be seen clearly.It was a small swastika (pronounced swastika) symbol centered on the threading hole.There is this symbol on both ends of each bead, if Qu Censhi hadn't paid so much attention to look at it, maybe he wouldn't have found this suspicious point at all.

"There is a '卍' character here."

"Well, this... can be regarded as Buddhist." Fatty is not sure.

"Well, ancient Indian Buddhism has existed since the beginning, and it turned out to be in the Buddha."

"Then there's nothing strange about the Buddha beads now." Xiaopang said.

But Qu Censhi was still a little puzzled.If the swastika is really for decoration, or as a part of a prayer bead itself, then it can be engraved a little bigger.As long as it doesn't affect the beauty of the bead itself, it can at least be bigger, so it won't take much effort to carve it.It's so small, and there are so many beads, isn't it tiring to engrave it?

"It's not surprising, but it's too small, so small that it can be regarded as a miniature sculpture. Is it necessary to do this?"

"Okay, okay, have you read it? If you've read it, let's go to your house first. I feel uncomfortable listening to the Buddhist scriptures downstairs."

"I don't feel well either. Just pack it up and go. You can still have lunch at my house." After speaking, he began to put the prayer beads back into the box.Put it down little by little, and put it as neatly as possible.Because of his slow speed, he silently counted the number of beads in the prayer beads in his heart.When one is put down, count one.When all the beads were put down and put away, he was so surprised that he picked up the beads again, put them on a handkerchief, and counted the beads one by one.

Xiaopang had already changed into a suit of clothes, still in black training clothes. He walked out of the bathroom and watched him count again, and asked, "Hey, didn't you say you were going to your house? What else are you counting?"

Qu Censhi didn't answer him, he was still counting the beads.The second time is also counted.one hundred and nine!Can't go wrong!The two counts are one hundred and nine!

"How many?" Xiaopang smiled, thinking that he was just counting beads for fun.

"One hundred and nine! Ordinary prayer beads are one hundred and eight! Tibetan Buddhism is 110! This one is indeed one hundred and nine!"

"Jingjing is wrong." Xiaopang said, he was about to reach out to take the beads and count them by himself.But when I stretched out my hand, I realized that I didn't have anything to rest my hand on, so I could only retract my hand, "Maybe you counted wrong?"

"I counted twice. Besides, counting to a hundred, kindergarten children can do it, do you think I will make a mistake?"

Fatty suddenly became serious: "Psimmon, when you were in the big class, you really couldn't count to one hundred. Every time I asked you to count together."

"You?!" Qu Censhi glared at him, this is the danger of being a child.This guy even knows how many times he wet his pants in kindergarten when he was a kid. "I said fat, the best way to deal with a person like you is to kill him directly. Otherwise, wouldn't you expose all my scandals?"

"I'm just telling the facts, and I didn't name anyone. I'm leaving. The sound of chanting gives me a headache. I'm Monkey King. Listening to this is a curse."

I thought I could have a lunch at home.But they didn't expect that the two of them would receive a call from Uncle Wei just after they came out of Xiaopang's house.

On the phone, Uncle Wei said in a low voice, "Distilled water, where are you now?"

"at home."

"Because there is no one on the lunch break, you can pass me quickly. There was another case of that kind yesterday morning, and they just put the file here."

"Yesterday morning?" Qu Censhi was surprised, "When was the time of death?"

"You come over and talk about it. Just take a lunch break. By the way, come to buy some fruit, and if you meet anyone, say that you are buying fruit to see me." Uncle Wei on the other end of the phone hung up the phone in a hurry.

yesterday morning?Isn't that when they went to steal that camera memory?At that time, there was no problem with the "Jingyuan" next door.If it was really Tiansi, she didn't sleep last night, did she already know that the shop next door was "looted" by him?

Although Xiaopang couldn't hear the words on the other end of the phone, he could hear something from Qu Censhi's words.He patted Qu Censhi on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, and greet Mr. Zhang. I haven't seen him for a long time."
