Chapter 988 Someone really came to steal the clock?!
"Vice Mayor Deng, there is a situation that you should pay attention to..." After Ye Kai came back, he called Deng Jinyou, deputy mayor of the Standing Committee and Chief of Police, to arrange some things.
"Okay, I understand, I understand." Deng Jinyou listened to Ye Kai's words and kept nodding in agreement.
After he finished the phone call, he called Yuan Fang, the captain of the ** detachment.
"Mayor Deng is looking for me?" Yuan Fang knocked on Deng Jinyou's office and walked in and asked.
"Well, I have something for you to handle." Deng Jinyou waved to him, motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered, "Mayor Ye called me just now and talked about the issue of Dongshan Temple."
"Oh?" Yuan Fang was a little confused after hearing this.
What can be wrong with Dongshan Temple? There is a pile of rubble over there, with broken walls and ruins, and even people picking up rags can't get past it. What can be wrong with a place like this?
"According to Mayor Ye, is there a big bell over there at Dongshan Temple?" Deng Jinyou had never been to Dongshan Temple, so he was not very clear about the situation. He asked Yuan Fang in a somewhat inquiring tone.
.
"Yes, there is a big bell. It is said to be an antique from the Song Dynasty." After hearing this, Yuan Fang immediately replied, "But that bell is relatively big. Although Dongshan Temple was destroyed, the bell is still there. I heard that
There is a monk who has built a shed and lives there. He rings the bell every morning and evening, and many people come to join in the fun and watch him ring the bell."
"Oh, that shows that this problem does exist." Deng Jinyou nodded and said, "Mayor Ye said that he had received the news that someone might have ideas about the big clock recently, so he hoped that the city bureau would take some measures to fix it.
Catch this matter and don’t let the criminals succeed.”
"Someone wants to steal that big bell. Isn't he crazy?" Yuan Fang suddenly felt a little incredible after hearing this.
If the big bell was made of brass, I guess more people would have made up their mind. However, even if it is a big bronze bell, it would be more troublesome to remanufacture it, especially because the bell is relatively large and heavy.
, and it’s on a mountain. Not to mention how troublesome it is to take it down from the tree, but just to transport it down from the mountain is a headache.
For hundreds or even thousands of dollars, it takes so much effort to go up the mountain to steal the clock, and risk being discovered by transporting it down the mountain. Besides, you may not be able to find a place where you dare to collect the stolen goods. Such efforts are thankless.
Who would be willing to do such things?
Yuan Fang really felt that anyone who was willing to do such a thing must be crazy about money, but any thief with some skills would not do such a thing, let alone step in advance to steal the clock.
Son, it’s time to prepare for this matter.
He believed that what Mayor Ye said was definitely a rumor.
"Now that Mayor Ye has given the order, we have to be careful. What if someone really comes to steal this big clock?" Who is Deng Jinyou? One look at Yuan Fang's expression and you can tell that he has something.
He didn't think so, so he warned him, "If the big bell is really stolen, Mayor Ye will be furious and don't say anything, and our own faces will be disgraced!"
"Yes, Mayor Deng is right, I will go and arrange this matter." After hearing this, Yuan Fang immediately reflected and thought that there was indeed something wrong with his attitude.
Since it is a task assigned by the leader, it naturally makes sense. You just need to think about doing it well. Why do you need to analyze the deep-seated reasons and find out what is unreasonable?
If you had such a disobedient subordinate, you probably wouldn't be happy in your heart, right?
After Yuan Fang figured this out, his mentality suddenly changed a lot. He immediately made a promise to Deng Jinyou and arranged for capable personnel to follow the case.
Originally, Yuan Fang only planned to send two people randomly to visit the mountain every day, but now after listening to Deng Jinyou, he felt that his idea was unreasonable, so he arranged for six police officers to be divided into three waves, three shifts a day.
I stayed near the big bell of Dongshan Temple, hoping to gain something.
As the saying goes, if the leader talks, the subordinates will have to run and break their legs. The six people who received this task were obviously a little unhappy, because in their opinion, the broken clock really had no value.
When the Four Olds were overthrown, this big bell was not smashed. Later, during the steel smelting, this big bell was not destroyed. In this case, it can only mean that this big bell has no existence.
They didn't think anyone would steal the clock if they were full.
Although they were reluctant, considering that the leader was very solemn when arranging this matter, the six people adjusted the order of duty on their own, and then went up the mountain to find a place to live.
Do the math, two people spend eight hours, one watching and the other sleeping, which is just a four-hour shift. It's not really a hard job. It's just that if you stay here for a long time and there are not many people coming and going, you will feel a little bored.
That’s all.
****************
"What exactly did you find?" Pei Yunqiu pestered Ye Kai and asked.
She was very aware of Ye Kai's habits. If there were no benefits, how could Ye Kai be so bored as to care about the safety of a big clock?
Although the big bell in Dongshan Temple can be regarded as an antique and has a history of nearly a thousand years, in terms of value, it is not that valuable. After all, there are people who collect bells. People who collect such big bells are really
No.
One is to take up space, and the other is that if you collect something like this, wouldn't you tell others that it came from a Buddhist temple? People who collect it are actually quite taboo about this kind of thing.
What if one day, a monk from another temple comes to your home and says that this thing is from our temple and asks the donor to give it to you? What should you do at that time?
Donate it, it's a loss, I feel a little sad, don't donate it, these monks are not easy to mess with, if they get stuck on you, it will be a big headache.
Therefore, Pei Yunqiu did not believe Ye Kai's words, saying that someone stole the clock was definitely just a superficial cover.
"I really made a little discovery. I think this big bell should have been hung above the underground palace of Dongshan Temple." Ye Kai said to Pei Yunqiu.
"Why? How did you know?" Pei Yunqiu was surprised when he heard this.
So Ye Kai talked about his discovery: "This big bell, the characters cast inside are the four words "Treasure of the Palace". Obviously, there are no other palaces in the Dongshan Temple except the underground palace.
So it is obvious that the place where this big bell is located is where the underground palace is."
"You mean, under that big tree, is where the underground palace is?" Pei Yunqiu understood this time. "In that case, just dig it out. It's a government action anyway. For Dongshan Temple,
The protection of the underground palace, I think this should be justified, and it will save others from having ambitions on this matter."
"Of course that's the truth, but I hope someone comes to hunt for treasures..." Ye Kai said with a smile.
"Do you know that someone is coming to hunt for treasure?" Pei Yunqiu asked with some suspicion.
"Almost." Ye Kai nodded and said, "Now we have basically locked the target."
Ye Kai's words were naturally not nonsense. Ever since he discovered that Qu Youyi was very enthusiastic about rebuilding Dongshan Temple, he had always had doubts in his heart. Recently, he had carefully studied Qu Youyi's ideas about rebuilding Dongshan Temple and developing tourist areas.
After the plan, this was even more confirmed.
Especially today's chance encounter on the mountain, and the trace of suspicion and vigilance seen in Qu Youyi's eyes, made Ye Kai firmly believe that his guess was reasonable.
Based on this consideration, Ye Kai arranged for Deng Jinyou to handle the matter.
Because he knew very well that after the news spread that he had brought Pei Yunqiu to invest in the Dongshan Temple reconstruction project, it would be difficult for Qu Youyi to calm down, so he must resolve this matter as soon as possible and find the treasures in the Dongshan Temple underground palace.
.
Otherwise, once the matter is finalized, he will lose the opportunity to take action.
"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm so tired from hiking during the day. Now I just want to eat quickly, then take a bath and go to bed." Pei Yunqiu rubbed his sore calves and complained.
"You have to blame yourself for this. You need to exercise more." Ye Kai said with a smile, "Sleep after eating. You will gain weight quickly."
"Yeah, I feel like there's a little more flesh on my belly than before... If you don't believe me, come and touch it..." When mentioning this problem, Pei Yunqiu frowned and said, pulling Ye
Open your hand and let him touch your belly.
"I think it's pretty good, no fat..." Ye Kai naturally didn't object to such an action, but the guy's hand was touching it, and he went through his shirt and touched it.
"I hate it, where did you touch it..." Although Pei Yunqiu said something scolding, there was no objection on his face. Instead, he pressed Ye Kai's hand nervously from outside his clothes, not knowing.
Do you want to prevent him from going deep, or don't want his hand to leave? It's very contradictory.
Ye Kai and Pei Yunqiu were chatting and laughing, but they had the idea to have an in-depth exchange of ideas. However, considering that it was broad daylight and it would be very inconvenient if something disturbed them, they did not take any substantive action.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, when Pei Yunqiu went to take a shower, Ye Kai received a call from Deng Jinyou.
"Mayor Ye, you are really good at predicting things!" Deng Jinyou called, looking surprised. It could be seen that Old Deng was in a rather excited mood at the moment.
"What's the matter, Lao Deng?" Ye Kai asked very calmly.
"Mayor Ye, I want to report to you about the big bell of Dongshan Temple." Deng Jinyou said loudly on the phone, "Our people just sent back the news that someone really has the idea of that big bell.
Woolen cloth!"
"Isn't it?" Ye Kai was a little surprised after hearing this.
Although he said that someone might steal the clock, his actual target was the movement near the big clock. At this time, the police officers sent out said that someone had stolen the clock, and Ye Kai was really surprised. (To be completed.)
