In a temple in Sihong County, Jiangsu Province, there are many believers and incense is vigorous, and the reason is that they all want to meet the abbot of this temple, "Master Kaiyong".
However, one day a group of "uninvited guests" came, a group of policemen rushed to the temple to arrest the master, he turned out to be the murderer of a murder 16 years ago, codenamed "Five of Hearts", and when he was arrested, 700,000 huge sums were found in his robe!
How did a high-ranking monk suddenly become a murderer? What happened to this huge amount of money?
Murder as a monk in the temple hiding
Li Tianyou is a young man with a short and restless personality, and has been called "wild monkey" by his family since he was a child. He was always fearless and dared to challenge authority, whether it was a bully in the village or an elder in the family, he dared to speak out. However, it was this kind of character that made him encounter countless setbacks and difficulties on the road to growth.
By chance, Li Tianyou met a woman named Weng in a nightclub, and the two fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love. In pursuit of a better life, they decided to leave their hometown and go to Guangzhou to work together. The two rented a two-bedroom apartment near a factory in Guangzhou and started living together.
However, the burden of life soon overwhelmed them, in order to save rent, Li Tianyou also introduced two roommates to move in together, the life of the four people is not good, the part-time job is really slow to pay, at this time Li Tianyou thought of a way.
During a chance conversation, Li Tianyou tells her that she has a plan to carry out, which is to use her beauty to seduce their landlord and kidnap him for a large ransom. Everyone immediately agreed to this crazy idea, they saw it as a good opportunity to change their fate.
At the beginning, the plan was implemented perfectly, and the landlord was successfully deceived, but unfortunately an accident occurred when snatching the money, and they were too heavy and killed the landlord Lu. Faced with the sudden change, Li Tianyou and his roommates panicked, and they knew that they had embarked on the road of no return.
In order to escape the pursuit of the police, they chose to flee and began a long career of escape, but except for Li Tianyou, the other three were arrested the next day.
Escape the secret life of the red dust
Knowing that a catastrophe was coming, he decided to leave the town immediately, and fled to other places by driving for four hours overnight, Li Tianyou did not return to his own town, because he knew that as long as he went back, he would be arrested, so he had been wandering in a secluded monastery.
The abbot of the monastery was a kind old monk, and he saw Li Tianyou's inner struggle, so he took him in. In the monastery, Li Tianyou lived according to the precepts and was determined to follow the abbot to learn Xi Dharma.
But Li Tianyou also knew that he couldn't live in one place for a long time, and there were many people, and if someone really recognized him, he would suffer, so after Xi learning Buddhism with the abbot for a while, he proposed to go down the mountain to experience human suffering.
In the next few years, he has been turning into a monk by virtue of his identity as a monk, fortunately, there are many kind-hearted people, and he can't go hungry every day, if he meets someone who happens to do white things, he also uses his half-hung Dharma to the deceased, and what is more interesting is that no one can understand, so his identity is not exposed.
After exceeding, some people will stuff him with a big red envelope. After walking for a long time, people inevitably wanted to find a place to stay, so he chose a county close to his hometown and settled down in a temple there.
Li Tianyou relied on his own mouth, talking about Buddhism one by one, and the people who came to worship were surrounded by him in the clouds, and slowly, Li Tianyou's reputation spread, saying that he was a master with a very high cultivation, and then the arrogant Li Tianyou gave himself a "Kaiyong" legal name.
In 2014, the abbot of the temple passed away, and Li Tianyou, as the most prestigious monk, was rightfully elected as the new abbot, although Li Tianyou knew what his identity was, but there was no way, the voice of the monks was too high, and he could only become the presiding abbot.
During this period, the police did not stop the pursuit of him, in 2012, a "playing card wanted warrant" was posted on the Internet, and Li Tianyou's code name is "Five of Hearts", but now he is the abbot is also difficult to ride a tiger, so he gave a death order to other monks, and everyone is not allowed to contact the outside world without authorization.
And registered the pilgrims, and immediately reported that he was from Guangdong, and someone asked him to take pictures, and he also shirked for various reasons, and never put his face in front of the camera, but Li Tianyou was a hundred secrets after all.
The true face of the "enlightened monk" is the five of hearts
However, in 2016, a tourist found that this "Kaiyong Master" was a little familiar after participating in the temple activities.
This incident has caused a lot of trouble to tourists, the holy monk with such a big reputation is a criminal, how can there be such a thing, his own random suspicion will be recorded by the Buddha, but if it is really the criminal himself who did not report it, then the police reward will not be missed.
After thinking about it, the tourist still informed the public security organ of the incident, and the local police immediately contacted the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau after receiving the report, and Guangdong Province immediately sent someone to assist the local police in verifying the authenticity of the information after learning the information of the criminal who had been absconding for more than ten years.
Sure enough, the identity of this "Kaiyong Master" was fake, and his appearance and body shape were no different from Li Tianyou, and then the police decided to arrest this fake monk.
Li Tianyou didn't know where to get the news, he fled through the back door of the temple before the police arrived, and he immediately drove the temple van to the local bank to take out about 1.5 million yuan of sesame oil money that believers had offered in recent years.
After that, he bought a two-story building in Shuyang County, then bought a car, and spent a lot of money to renovate the house.
The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky
At this time, the society is not more than ten years ago, science and technology is developed, the police to obtain monitoring and other alms, or found Li Tianyou's hiding place, in December 2017, the police came to his community to control, with the experience of the last Li Tianyou run, this time the police sent additional manpower to ensure that the action is foolproof.
The police waited from the afternoon until the early hours of the morning, and then began to move, and the criminal police broke down the door directly. Hearing the sound, Li Tianyou fell asleep and walked down from the second floor, before he woke up, the handcuffs had been handcuffed to his hands, and when he was arrested, Li Tianyou still had 700,000 cash hidden in the robe.
When the cold handcuffs were put on, Li Tianyou finally came back to his senses, but at this moment he did not resist, but quickly accepted the facts, maybe he had been running away for many years, and he had thought of his result countless times.
In this way, the suspect "Five of Hearts", who had been absconding for 16 years, was finally arrested. His parents live less than 10 kilometers away from him, and in the past 16 years, he has not even returned home, and while sitting in the police car, he suddenly cried.
In the end, Li Tianyou was sentenced to death by the court for intentional homicide, with a two-year probation. The legal net is magnificent but not leaky, and if you make a mistake, you have to bear it, and if you can escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime, and people will always pay the price for their actions.
