"Handsome guy! Do you want the tofu curd to be sweet or salty?"
"Sweet, thank you!"
"okay!"
At about forty, the charming lady boss opened the lid of the wooden barrel next to her, picked up a long iron ladle and put it into the barrel, turned the handle of the ladle and scooped it out gently, then turned it into the bowl, and the fresh and tender tofu puffs were absorbed.
Serve in a small bowl.
Then I sprinkled some honey red beans and brown sugar from the small jar next to it...
"Xi Liu" scooped a mouthful and put it into your mouth, and the sweet breath slid all the way down your throat.
Meng Lang licked the corners of his mouth, showing a satisfied look.
This street stall shop outside the community is a little treasure he discovered.
The tofu curd served by the proprietress is delicious, and the stall is kept clean and tidy. Business is usually booming, and there is an endless stream of people coming to have breakfast.
"Brother Meng?"
Meng Lang, who was eating, was stunned when he looked up and saw Wang Zhaoping standing in front of him, holding a briefcase.
"Eh? Captain Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Zhaoping was not polite. He sat down opposite Meng Lang and looked at Meng Lang up and down.
"I came here specifically to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here before I even entered the community. Are you... coming out for morning exercise?"
"Yeah, after working out and sweating all over, I want to have a bowl of tofu puffs here. The taste is not too good.
That is to say, today is Sunday. There are few people who get up early to go to work, otherwise I might not be able to find a place.
Hey! Captain Wang, have you had breakfast? Do you want a bowl too?"
"Okay, I haven't eaten it yet. Boss, let's have a bowl of tofu. If you want it salty, add more coriander!"
"Okay! Guest, wait a moment!"
The landlady was busy there, and Wang Zhaoping turned his attention back to Meng Lang.
Seeing him still eating the tofu porridge slowly, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Brother Meng, you are really in a leisurely mood. You are still eating tofu bread here leisurely. Aren't you curious at all?"
"What are you curious about?"
"Brother Meng, you gave me the news. Are you not at all curious about whether the group was caught yesterday?" Wang Zhaoping couldn't laugh or cry.
A cultural relic robbery case suddenly occurred, so Wang Zhaoping was naturally busy until late last night.
When the matter was over, I was worried that it would affect Meng Lang's rest, so I didn't contact him immediately.
Unexpectedly, Meng Lang didn't even ask himself a question yesterday. Looking at his calm face, it seemed as if he didn't take it seriously at all.
Meng Lang looked at Wang Zhaoping and smiled.
"What's there to be curious about? I don't care if the gang is caught in the end."
What I'm concerned about is whether the Buddha's head has been taken away...
With Wang Zhaoping's execution ability, now that he knew someone was planning to tamper with the Buddha's head, even if he couldn't catch the robber, he would definitely not let the Buddha's head be taken away again.
It is enough to confirm this.
It's your police's job to arrest people, my job is to cut off the Buddha's head...
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhaoping looked at Meng Lang with admiration.
"Brother Meng is really good at knowing things. It seems that you already know it. We can't ask anything from the robbers, right?"
"Well……"
No, I really just don't care.
The Night Demons are enough to make me worry. The priorities of people on earth are really limited...
Wang Zhaoping, on the other hand, was on his own.
"The identity of the commanders behind the robbers has been confirmed. They are two tourists from Fuso Country on the Dream cruise ship.
The two people who took action may be agents of the Fuso Kingdom lurking in the country.
Last night, people from the National Security Bureau came to interrogate him, but in the end they were stunned and couldn't ask a single word.
The other party bit him to death and he was an avid collector of Chinese cultural relics. When he saw so many priceless cultural relics seized by the police on the cruise ship, he became obsessed and wanted to hire someone to intercept them.
The appraisal expert who betrayed the escort information did not hesitate to give it.
But the mastermind behind them is tight-lipped.
The person has been taken away by the relevant departments. What is certain is that since the person behind the scenes can mobilize the hidden agents of Fuso Country, he will definitely not be a small figure in Fuso Country.
But it seems that we won’t have anything to do with this case in the future.” Wang Zhaoping spread his hands helplessly.
Meng Lang was a little surprised at the development of the incident.
Fuso Country?
Why are foreign forces involved?
"Your tofu pudding."
At this time, the landlady brought a bowl of tofu curd and placed it in front of Wang Zhaoping.
Wang Zhaoping seemed to be really hungry. He rolled up his sleeves and started eating. After eating half a bowl, he put down his spoon and praised the taste.
Then he lowered his voice.
"But Brother Meng, your news is amazing. The first thing they opened the box was indeed the Buddha head!
It’s okay to know that someone wants to rob cultural relics, but Brother Meng, how do you know that their target is the Buddha head?”
"Oh?" Meng Lang raised his eyebrows.
The other party's real target was the Buddha's head, which was originally just a vague guess in his mind.
He just said this to let Wang Zhaoping focus on ensuring the safety of the Buddha's head during the operation.
Now that this guess was confirmed, he was a little surprised.
Do they really know the secret of the Buddha's head?
However, even our own descendants don’t know about the Buddha’s head that existed more than a thousand years ago. How could a bunch of Fusang people know about it?
Could it be...
Thinking of that turbulent and humiliating era, Meng Lang had some guesses in his mind.
The Fusang Kingdom looted countless cultural relics from the Chinese Kingdom. Maybe they just have information about this Buddha head, so they know the secret of the Buddha's head?
Now it seems that this is the only way to explain it.
However, since the other party does not hesitate to use agents, the value of the secret in the Buddha's head is astonishing.
Meng Lang's curiosity was completely aroused.
I don't have to care about the affairs of the people on earth, but I still need to care about the baby I like.
"I was just blind. By the way, where is the Buddha's head now?" Meng Lang asked, changing the subject.
"Oh! It has been sent to the Magic City Museum. It is definitely a top-level security level. No matter who the person is, they can probably give up." Wang Zhaoping said in a relaxed tone.
The reason why we were robbed halfway is because our side did not pay enough attention to it and had a weak security awareness. It is understandable that we were succeeded.
But once something goes into a museum, it's completely different.
Why is it that in the 1980s and 1990s, there were still news about cultural relic thieves and even endless legends about monster thieves, but in recent years, such news has basically disappeared?
Because with modern security methods that are constantly being upgraded, there are fewer and fewer loopholes that can be exploited.
Under airtight multiple surveillance, it is almost an impossible task to steal a top-level cultural relic.
Meng Lang couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this.
This is the country of China after all, and it has already been put into a museum. Unless the city falls, there should be no power that can threaten this top national treasure.
This time...no one can stop me from opening the blind box, right?
"By the way, Brother Meng, this is for you!" Wang Zhaoping took out a piece of information from his briefcase and handed it to Meng Lang.
"What is this?" Meng Lang took it and glanced at it doubtfully, and suddenly looked stunned.
"Uh... Captain Wang, are you sure this is not against the rules?"
"Why is it violating the rules? Don't forget, you are still a special adviser in our bureau. It is completely reasonable to reveal some progress of the case in advance!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course it is!"
Meng Lang scratched his head and finally put the information away.
Although I hate privilege, but... people have said that this is not a privilege, it is a job...
This information does not contain any special secrets, but the relevant facts of Hu Dazhi's trafficking in contraband.
It seems that the "mouse" must have confessed...
"By the way, there's this one too!" Wang Zhaoping pushed over another bulging cowhide document bag.
"What is this?"
Meng Lang opened the document bag and looked inside, and was startled.
Stacks of brand new soft coins lay quietly inside, exuding a unique scent of ink.
"This is the intelligence fund I applied for. It's only 50,000 yuan. After all, the bureau can't approve too much. I also know that Brother Meng, you are not short of money, but don't dislike it."
"Well……"
After working as a consultant for so long, this is the first time I have a serious income...
Does this count as me eating public food?
"Ahem! Come here today, apart from these few things, actually... I have an unkind favor."
"What's the unkind invitation?"
Wang Zhaoping showed a slightly embarrassed look.
"That's it, about the temporary decryptor specially designed for Fruit X..."
After listening to Wang Zhaoping's narration, Meng Lang was not very surprised.
After thinking for a while, he smiled.
"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. Since it is needed by the country, it is naturally a free contribution!"
