Military: Let you report, you can easily catch the wanted criminal

Chapter 1436 Philanthropist or Scammer?
"This is a small village after all, not even a town. The local area has some traditional customs that we don't understand."

"Moreover, most of us policemen are outsiders and don't know some local customs. They seem to have the habit of drying corpses before. Before those temples were built, that was the place where they did this."

"Everyone would put the dead bodies there to be exposed to the sun, and some prestigious people in the area would perform some rituals, usually based on the person's birth date. Some people would even say that it was the deceased's dream that told him how long he wanted to be exposed to the sun."

Jiang Fan could even imagine that scene. It was like leaving the corpse here and waiting for it to rot naturally. Not only would it smell bad, but the body would even deteriorate visibly to the naked eye.

"The exact source is unclear, but it seems to mean that corpses have a lot of turbid energy, and sunlight is a power close to the gods that can help them remove the turbidity. We don't really understand the details of this."

Traditional customs are likely to be local practices that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is indeed inconvenient for outsiders to comment on such matters.

But Jiang Fan learned another thing, "Were those temples built after you came here?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Yes, and they built it very quickly. After the approval, it took less than a month to complete the construction."

“On what grounds did they approve this land in the first place?”

“Tourist architecture.”

"Do you know about the sacrificial offerings they are doing now?"

"I understand, but there is nothing we can do. They said there is no religious guidance for this. This is about meeting one's own heart. What can we do?"

These people are really smart, using such despicable methods.

Xiao Yuan added: "We even went to find them about the way they deal with the bodies you mentioned, and even told them not to do that, but the local residents disagreed. They said that times have changed, and they don't dry bodies anymore. They think this method is better."

"And now there are people who are handling it in a unified way, which is a good thing for them."

"In this small place, the villagers are not as reasonable as those in big cities. Sometimes when we speak a little more forcefully, these people will make trouble all day long. We think it's better to have less trouble than more, so we didn't intervene. Besides, no matter what the temple is behind, it has done a lot of good things."

Can you still do good things?

Jiang Fan couldn't help but have some doubts.

"What good things have they done?"

"Don't be fooled by the nice houses that the villagers live in now. In fact, they were all built by the temple with the donations from everyone. They even built a primary school and roads."

"They also provided medical examinations to the children here and even donated some better equipment to the local hospital. They really did a lot of good things, so we didn't say anything more."

If it is really as Xiao Yuan said, there is really nothing to say. To the locals, this temple is much smarter than these policemen who do not do much every day.

"So this temple is really good."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "That's why every time we mention this temple, we don't know what to say. We know there's something wrong with it, but we can't point it out to its face."

Jiang Fan said, "I understand, but if I want to investigate, will anyone interfere?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head and said, "No one should interfere, but you have to be careful. The villagers here are very sensitive about this matter and they trust the temple very much."

Jiang Fan nodded and patted his shoulder: "I understand. Remember to call me when the temporary documents are ready. I will go back first."

The couple left early. They felt that they could not trust the police, so they decided to look for the police nearby. A group of police surrounded Xiao Yuan and asked, "Brother Xiao, what did you talk to him about just now?"

"I see you two seem to have a good relationship? He's a soldier, and you're a soldier too. Did you know each other before?"

"This man looks young, but his style of doing things seems quite steady."

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "He was a special forces soldier before I retired. He is a young hero, much better than me."

"I met him once. He came to our military region to give a speech about outstanding special forces soldiers. It seemed that he was awarded the third-class merit for performing a mission. He was really amazing."

For a moment, several policemen looked in the direction where Jiang Fan left with envy: "Oh my god, is he so powerful?"

"Then he must be in a higher position now. Look at the way he walks. He looks so majestic and I feel like he can kill three people with one punch."

"Did he just ask a lot of questions about the temple?" asked a policeman.

Xiao Yuan did not answer his question, but said: "He was just curious why someone didn't call the police when they lost their child. He asked me what the explanation those people gave was."

It was the same policeman who said, "What other excuses can you have? Just say that the child went out. They knew about it, but now they can't contact him."

"The parents didn't even call the police, so why should we get involved?" the policeman surnamed Miao said impatiently.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said, "Yeah, so he didn't say anything. We talked about things in the army. Are you afraid that we will talk about the temple?"

Miao Conghe sneered: "What do I have to be afraid of? You can say whatever you want, but the temple matter is quite complicated and it feels a bit troublesome. Let him, an outsider, stay out of it."

Xiao Yuan looked at him deeply and said nothing.

Jiang Fan walked around for a while, and finally arrived at the temple.

The weird thing about this place is that there is no sign or any directional signs, but people still come and go in an endless stream.

Jiang Fan discovered that there was a small door next to the main hall, and only a very small number of people could pass through this small door to go to the backyard.

Jiang Fan felt a little suspicious. Wasn’t the backyard the place where corpses were disposed of?
He used his Eagle Eyes skill to look back along the gap, and suddenly discovered that the layout of the backyard was surprisingly different.

It turned out that the place where corpses were dealt with that Jiang Fan had seen before only occupied a small part, and the other part was made into a corridor and a small room.

A small number of people seemed to show something to the person reviewing outside the door, then pushed open the small door and entered the small room.

As for what it was, the other party blocked it too tightly and Jiang Fan couldn't see it clearly.

Jiang Fan walked to the main hall, paid for the incense, and pretended to pray.

But his peripheral vision was always on the people near the small door, wanting to see what they were showing.

Suddenly, a woman kneeling on his left said in a deep voice: "Young man, you are not sincere."

what?
nonsense!

I am a special forces soldier of Xia country, so I am honest! You guys are a bunch of fraudsters, I will expose you!
