"I checked twice and there is indeed no jade pendant!" Zhang Xiaosheng said.
Yu Xiaolong personally checked and fumbled it carefully, and found that there was indeed no trace of the jade pendant.
"Boss Zhang said that when he was buried, he saw with his own eyes that the jade pendant was placed inside." Zhang Xiaosheng said.
"This is so strange! Who would take the jade pendant instead of gold? It's definitely not for money, and he's not a professional thief." Yu Xiaolong was depressed.
The two of them reluctantly returned to Boss Zhang's house and found him again.
"Boss Zhang, is the jade pendant a token of love between the two old men?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"Yes, they have said it many times before. In fact, I secretly appraised it. That... only costs a few hundred yuan, and it is just the most ordinary jade." Boss Zhang said with a bitter smile.
"How much is the jewelry inside worth?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked.
"Two hundred thousand... I want them to live a better life down there," Boss Zhang said aggrievedly.
Yu Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaosheng sighed, they must be such filial people and wealthy people who can spend 200,000 to be buried with them.
Yu Xiaolong stopped talking, closed his eyes and thought quietly.
After a long time, Yu Xiaolong opened his eyes, smiled slightly and said: "Boss Zhang, you will listen to me tomorrow."
Early the next morning, an altar was set up outside Boss Zhang's house, with incense burned on it and some tributes. Photos of the two old men were placed in the middle.
Boss Zhang cried and kowtowed from time to time.
A Taoist priest with a white beard was dancing and chanting, waving the sword in his hand.
The villagers slowly gathered around and looked at this scene strangely.
"Boy from the Zhang family, isn't Lao Zhang already buried? What are you doing now?" asked an old man.
"Hey! My dad told me in a dream that he was not doing well down there!" Boss Zhang cried sadly.
"Isn't it good? You are doing such a glorious job. Our village hasn't had such a big scene in decades. Didn't you also give me a lot of good things? Why are you not doing so well?" The old man asked strangely.
"It's not that I'm short of money, my dad said something is missing, and my mom and I are having a hard time!" Boss Zhang said.
"Ah? With so much money, what do you need?" a woman asked.
"The token of love they had back then is gone, and no amount of money can be exchanged for it!" Boss Zhang cried.
"Ah...how could it not be? You

Didn't you put it down together?" the old man asked.
"Let it go! But...it was stolen!" Boss Zhang kowtowed again.
"Stealed? Then what are you doing?" the old man asked in confusion.
"I invited experts to come and set up an altar to practice. The thief will die in three days!" Boss Zhang said viciously.
Everyone's eyes turned to the Taoist priest, and they saw him chanting: "There is a right way to choose the clear sun in the universe. Yin and yang justice, there is a choice between."
"Where did you invite it from? It looks very powerful." Someone asked.
"I spent 100,000 yuan to hire him from the mountains. He is more than a hundred years old. He can find the thief and beat him to ashes." Boss Zhang said fiercely.
"Tsk, tsk, I don't know which kid is going to be unlucky. Just return it to someone else as soon as possible, because it's not worth risking your life just by ordering something! Hey!" The crowd sighed one after another.
The people who watched the excitement were not afraid of causing trouble. Everyone stood there for more than an hour. The Taoist priest on the stage finally stopped his practice.
He came to Boss Zhang and said slowly: "It has been completed. If the item is not seen within three days, the person will suffer from malignant sores, ulcers on his hands and feet, and will eventually go west and cannot be reincarnated."
After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he walked away.
"Thank you, Master!" Boss Zhang knelt down and kowtowed.
The onlookers were amazed and dispersed in a bustling manner.
That night, the whole village was surprisingly quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs.
Everyone waited quietly, not knowing who the thief was.
Yu Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaosheng were also sitting quietly in the room, drinking tea lightly without any conversation between them.
"It's an injustice~~It's an injustice."
A miserable voice came from outside, and even as a ghost, Zhang Xiaosheng felt horrified.
The sound echoed back and forth in the village, which seemed very scary in the silent night.
More than an hour later, Hsien Loong flashed in from outside and said: "Master, is this okay?"
"Haha... This sound is okay, it can be a bit more terrifying." Yu Xiaolong chuckled.
The whole night was silent in the village, and no one came out for no reason.
Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaosheng shook his head and said, "Brother Yu, this has no effect. It scares the people in the village so much that they dare not come out."
"Hey, why are you so anxious? It's only been a day. However, you dressed up as a Taoist priest...you still look very similar, especially the sword dance, haha." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"Hey! Isn't this just trying to get the ducks on the shelves? I'm just messing around." Zhang Xiaosheng also laughed.

With.
Boss Zhang was pacing back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back, frowning and saying nothing.
The whole village was very lively, and everyone was talking about what happened last night. They said that Boss Zhang's father had become an unjust ghost and came to seek the lives of those who stole things.
Yu Xiaolong and Zhang Xiaosheng were scattered among the crowd, observing carefully, but found no suspicious person.
At night, every house closed its doors early and even the dogs were muzzled.
"Give me back my stuff~Give me back my stuff."
The miserable female voice echoed throughout the village. Zhang Xiaosheng trembled in fright and shook his head repeatedly.
Soon, Sakura flew back and muttered: "Master, you actually let me do such a thing!"
"Hehe... work requires it." Yu Xiaolong smiled awkwardly.
"Brother Yu, you are really good as a female ghost!" Zhang Xiaosheng said with a smile.
Sakura flew over with a whoosh, opened her big mouth and hissed: "Boy, what did you say?"
Zhang Xiaosheng sat down on the ground and said tremblingly: "No, no!"
"Humph!" Sakura disappeared.
"Xiao Sheng, do you have a shadow, hehe." Yu Xiaolong said with a smile.
"That's not true! When I first met you, I was so scared that I almost peed." Zhang Xiaosheng said with a bitter smile.
"Haha... It's not like that." Yu Xiaolong laughed, holding his stomach.
All night long, the village remained silent.
"Brother Yu, today is the last day. I said within three days. If there is no movement tonight, I don't care. Boss Zhang will be embarrassed." Zhang Xiaosheng said worriedly.
"This...wait!" Yu Xiaolong nodded decisively.
Just after early morning, there were a lot of discussions in the village, with lingering fears about last night.
"Old Wang, was there a female ghost last night?"
"Yes, she must be Boss Zhang's mother."
"Oh, if this damn thief doesn't admit it quickly, what will he do in the village every night from now on!"
Time soon arrived in the evening, the last day, everyone in the village was waiting to see what happened, and Boss Zhang was even more impatient and couldn't sit still.
"Xiao Sheng, go hide near the cemetery." Yu Xiaolong ordered.
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaosheng agreed and went out.
"What an injustice! What an injustice."
"Give me back my stuff~Give me back my stuff."
Two faint voices, a man's and a woman's, appeared in the village at the same time. Every household closed its doors tightly, and even the dogs were so frightened that they lay down in their dens.
