Chapter 614 The Thief Within
Song Moting whispered to Tangyuan in a low voice. Tangyuan hugged Song Moting's neck and said a few words.
His parents have been nagging in his ears every day these days.
Let him see something, don't say it out loud, tell his parents quietly.
Tangyuan's ears are calloused, and Baozi's brother Tiantian is like a parent, telling him in his ear that he is not allowed to tell anything about what he saw, and can only tell his family secretly.
Now Tang Yuan has been able to accept this concept very well.
"You have wronged this young man."
Song Moting spoke.
The monks who were twisting the young man's arms and preparing to push him out of the temple, as well as the onlookers, all stopped.
People looked back at Song Moting in surprise.
At first glance, Song Moting had a child with him, and he didn't look like a bad person.
"A comrade must speak with evidence. Why do you say that we have wronged him? It is clear that all the money in the box is gone. Although he has no money on him, it does not mean that he did not steal it. If he had an accomplice, the money would have been given away long ago. Walk.
Why not send him to the public security bureau earlier so that the police can ask him about the cause and effect of the incident, as well as his accomplices. The money might be wasted by his accomplices. "
Dharma Ming was extremely anxious.
They all have to dance, and the brothers in their temple eat half a bowl of rice every meal.
I was growing up, and in order to save money to build a golden body for the Bodhisattva, I was always hungry. But now it was a good thing, this man stole all the money they had worked hard to save over the years.
There are still people who defend him. Is this justified?
Dharma even felt that the big white steamed buns and white rice he had longed for were not worth it.
If I had known that this thief would steal it, I might as well have let him exchange the money for big white steamed buns and eat them directly in his stomach.
The young man looked at Song Moting gratefully.
He has been talking for a long time, and his voice is almost hoarse, but no one listens to him, and no one believes him. When someone finally stood up to support him in modern times, he felt like a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark sky.
Almost like a lifesaver.
"Comrade! I really didn't steal it."
But apart from this dry sentence, he himself could not provide any evidence to prove that he did not steal. We can only hope that when we get to the police station, the police can find out the truth of the matter.
"I know you didn't steal it. You didn't take the money at all."
Song Moting's calm words made all the monks angry.
"You said he didn't steal, so he didn't steal. Maybe you are the thief's accomplice."
The senior brother pointed at Song Moting's nose and shouted. When the others heard this, they couldn't help but look a little strange. Indeed, the one who could stand up and speak for this young man at this time might actually be his accomplice. .
Song Moting walked up to everyone with a smile, holding the glutinous rice balls tightly with one hand.
"Don't worry, everyone. Whether you are an accomplice or not cannot be proved by words, but by facts. The money has never left this yard at all, it is here now. If everyone is in a mess now, and mistook this young man for Treat him as a thief and send him to the police station.
Some people will take the opportunity to transfer the money, and by then the real evidence will not be found. "
Everyone looked at each other.
The onlookers were not brainless, and everyone agreed with this.
Indeed, if so many of them were confused and decided that the young man in front of them was a thief, who would suspect others?
If there is chaos, whoever takes the money will take the opportunity to run away. Even if it is proven that the young man is not a thief, the money will not be recovered.
"Well, since you said the money is still here, you can find it for us. No one should leave. Anyone who wants to leave now is a thief."
The angry senior brother pointed at everyone.
The crowd of onlookers. At this moment, I feel like I'm riding a tiger and it's hard to get off. They originally wanted to help people, but who knows how to help. Instead they got entangled. It doesn't matter if you leave now or not. If you leave, you will easily be regarded as a thief.
"Okay, in order to prove everyone's innocence, none of us will leave here until this matter is clarified. Young man, since you said you can prove that the money is here, then you will find it. Prove it. That person’s innocence. We wouldn’t wrong a good person.”
Others spoke one after another, not only to prove the innocence of the young man, but also to prove the innocence of all of them. No one can get away with it now.
Song Moting nodded and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
Pointed at the box.
"Everyone has seen it. This box is evidence that the thief is one of us."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Of course they understood that this person was referring to the monk himself.
There is no way they are tourists burning incense. How can they be considered one of our own?
Those monks quit.
"How can you open your mouth and talk nonsense? This is just nonsense. How can you prove that this box was done by one of our own people? Why did our own people steal this money?"
The senior brother just now was absolutely furious.
Dharma Ming was also very angry.
"Senior Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. He is an accomplice of this thief. In order to excuse this thief, he actually wronged us. In order to save this money, these brothers and sisters have been frugal and frugal. How many years have they been, okay? It’s so easy to save so much money, but why should we steal it? Do we need to steal it?”
"We just keep our own money. If we can't do whatever we want, why should we steal it? This theory doesn't make sense at all."
Song Moting said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know you saved this money frugally, so of course there is no need to steal it. But if you all think so, the money you save does not mean that you have People have no selfish motives.
After all, he stole such a large amount of money. If someone wants to eat well and drink spicy food, he can make a fortune by doing this. You must know that the number of households with ten thousand yuan in the newspaper is still very rare. This is twenty thousand yuan. If someone has any selfish motives, take this money.
After returning home, he built a house and married a wife, and he was still rich and abundant. Am i right? "
As soon as these words came out, the crowd of people watching couldn't help but nodded. This is true. Being a monk does not mean that there is no greed.
"You're right. Maybe this little monk has something in mind. After all, it costs more than 20,000 yuan to return to secular life and have a wife and children on the hot bed! It doesn't cost much to build a house or get a wife. Then My little life was prosperous.”
"My monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan. I can't earn more than 20,000 yuan in a lifetime."
