326, missing

"Junior Brother Gu, over there." Lu Weiwei pointed behind a nun and said, "That guy is over there."

Gu Chen also followed his gaze and looked over.

Indeed, the three people who were gathered just now have obviously been reduced to pieces.

One man is in the left passage of the hall, and the other is next to Master Xuan Jing. The two seem to be stuck.

"But where is the other person? Aren't they together?" Gu Chen quickly glanced around.

From a distance, they are all just heads, and it is difficult to find a third foreigner.

The two of them searched for nearly ten minutes, but still found nothing.

At this time, the early morning bell rang, and outside the main hall, a nun was hitting the big bell with a wooden stake.

The entire top of the Heianji Temple was suddenly filled with a different kind of atmosphere.

The nun in the front row started babbling and reciting scriptures...

The difference from before was that the chanting of scriptures was louder this time.

The man who was about 60 years old immediately stepped forward, cut his palms with one hand, and agreed with the nun next to Master Xuanjing.

"Donor Hu, thank you for your donation to this temple." An old nun wearing glasses immediately bowed his head in greeting.

"Where." The man smiled and said: "This Buddha statue was originally an item of Heian Temple two hundred years ago. It was stolen by thieves and lost in the world. Later, it was found by the ancestors and returned to Heian Temple."

"But at that time, the abbot of Heian Temple said that this object was destined to be given to our ancestors, so he gave it to our ancestors. It was not a valuable object at first, but two hundred years later, its value has soared. Now I am willing to give this Buddha statue to

Re-gift it to Heian Temple to express your gratitude..."

The two of them started talking politely back and forth.

Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen were so stunned that they almost fell asleep. They seriously doubted that they had memorized their lines.

But the focus of the two of them is not this, but the two foreigners.

At this moment, the two foreigners were still standing where they were before, without moving at all.

The pilgrims in the main hall also began to look forward to this Buddha statue.

"Many people came by car, could it be that they wanted to see the honor of the Buddha statue?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously, looking at Gu Chen beside her.

"Maybe." Gu Chen held his chin and thought for a moment: "You don't know how many die-hard fans there are in this circle. It can be seen from Zhang Jinlan's donation of 500,000 that these people are dedicated to Buddha."

"It's terrible. One donation is half a million, half a million. How many potato chips do you have to buy?" Lu Weiwei felt bad when she thought about Zhang Jinlan stretching out those five domineering fingers.

On the other side, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also walked through the side passage. Following the gaze prompts of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, they were already standing behind one of the foreigners.

And the foreigner didn't seem to notice anything unusual at all.

After the old nun exchanged pleasantries with the man, the man suddenly gestured to two men carrying wooden boxes.

Soon, the three-dimensional wooden box with a length, width and height of half a meter was opened, and an exquisite Buddha head statue was displayed in front of everyone.

The scene suddenly became excited, and everyone moved forward.

The group of lay disciples wearing long robes consciously acted as order maintainers, holding hands to keep the crowd at bay.

"Everyone, please stop crowding. Please lean back and don't stand forward."

"Don't go any further this way, don't move."

"Go back, go back."

The crowd also burst into exclamation.

"Oh my god! This is the Buddha statue that the host often mentions!"

"I heard that the market value has soared to tens of millions."

"A two-hundred-year-old object has returned to Heianji Temple today. I'm very happy and congratulated."

"Lao Hu is so good. He even donated family heirlooms. It seems that we are really shameless in donating hundreds of thousands."



After hearing the conversation of these people, Lu Weiwei on the side became a little uneasy.

A million or hundreds of thousands is still considered a loss of face?

Wow, the weirdness of these people is far beyond Lu Weiwei's imagination.

Gu Chen also had his own concerns and hurriedly asked a middle-aged man next to him: "Brother, if the Buddha statue is donated here, aren't you afraid of being stolen? There are no security measures."

"Measures? What measures are needed? Didn't you see so many people at the scene? Is it still possible to fly?" The man directly laughed at Gu Chen's worries.

Another man immediately said: "Tonight is the day when the Buddha statue returns. Everyone must gather here to chant sutras. Tomorrow there will be a special anti-theft facility company to help set up a special anti-theft box in the main hall. This company

I introduced the company."

The man was quite proud when he said this.

"So that's it." Gu Chen nodded, obviously he didn't think things would be so simple.

In the entire hall, not to mention these three foreigners, there were more than a dozen suspicious people as Gu Chen looked at them.

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun came to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei from where they were just now, pointed at the foreigner and said: "They are already together, where is the other one?"

"I don't know." Gu Chen also shook his head and said, "After these people separated, I could only find traces of these two people. I don't know what they are doing."

Bai Xiaolan was so timid that her face turned yellow with fright, and she quickly said: "I always feel that these foreigners are not simple. I have been standing behind the foreigner, and his head seems to be looking left and right."

"I feel that he must be waiting for something. I always feel that something will happen later, because my right eyelid keeps twitching. I know that the left eye will make money and the right eye will cause disaster."

Gu Chen patted Bai Xiaolan on the shoulder: "It's okay, let's wait and see what happens."

"I think it's enough to just keep an eye on these two foreigners." Lu Weiwei stood on tiptoe, observed the two foreigners, and then said: "The three of them are a group anyway, even if the other one can't be found, these two will run away.

Don’t fall off.”

"I agree with Senior Sister Lu," Gu Chen also said.

Lu Weiwei wanted to go with him.

The Buddha statue was placed on a yellow cloth, and the nuns were babbling and reciting scriptures.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the outside were lay disciples, and outside were pilgrims who came here in admiration. Everyone sat on the ground around the Buddha statue and began to recite the scriptures silently.

Gu Chen also noticed that the two foreigners were also sitting in the ranks of lay disciples, imitating everyone else and reciting scriptures.

1am.

The interior of the main hall remains as before.

2:00.

Many people were extremely sleepy, and many pilgrims stood up and slowly retreated to the meditation room prepared by Heian Temple.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, as well as Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun, the four of them felt very miserable.

Of course, the four of them are not used to such an atmosphere, but they have been persisting just for the unsolved answer.

Bai Xiaolan and Lu Weiwei's eyelids were heavy, and they huddled in a corner of the hall, leaning together to support each other.

Wu Jun pretended to insist at first, but then he couldn't hold on anymore.

He looked at Gu Chen next to him. This guy was as excited as if he were getting chicken blood.

Of course, Gu Chen would not mention to Wu Jun that he had already stocked up on nearly a hundred bottles of energy drinks.

Gu Chen drank two bottles together, and suddenly he felt like he could still fight until dawn even if he didn't sleep for two days and two nights.

I lowered my head and looked at my watch. It was already 2:13 in the morning.

Logically speaking, this is the most tiring time of the day for humans.

Gu Chen even found that many lay disciples were starting to feel a little unable to hold on.

Of course, Gu Chen also asked the pilgrims around him and heard that such a ceremony would last all night.

Think about it this way, it's even harder than the police working the night shift, isn't it?

But just as Gu Chen was thinking about it, the whole hall suddenly went dark and all the lights went out instantly.

Not only in the main hall, but also in the adjacent terraced house corridors and even near the parking lot, almost all the lights were extinguished at this moment.

The entire hall suddenly fell into panic.

"what's up?"

"Why is there no power?"

"Everyone, please don't crowd. Please sit where you are and don't walk around."

"Has anyone gone to take a look at the switch?"

"Xuanjing knows where it is. Xuanjing, go and have a look."

"Okay senior sister."



There was a burst of noise with all kinds of sounds.

Although all the lights were extinguished instantly, fortunately, there were still many red candles burning in the hall.

But no one knew who suddenly screamed, and for a moment, everyone fell into panic.

"Oops, the Buddha statue is missing."

"Wha...what? The Buddha statue is missing? Wasn't it still here just now?"

"No... I don't know. I saw it here just now. Why did it disappear all of a sudden?"

"It's over, it's over. The Buddha statue has disappeared. Amitabha Buddha is so good."

"Quick, go look for it, don't let anyone take it away."

In the main hall, some nuns were shouting.

The silence just now.

Just tired.

Everything that happened just now, and at this moment, because of the sudden disappearance of the Buddha statue, everyone fell into fear.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei hurriedly came to Gu Chen's side and said, "As soon as the lights went dark, those foreigners disappeared."

"I know." Gu Chen also regretted a little. He thought that these two foreigners had been under his observation.

What I didn't expect was that the lights in the hall would go out for no reason.

Of course, Gu Chen didn't believe it was because of a circuit failure.

It can't be such a coincidence.

The only explanation is that the other one of the three foreign men disappeared.

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also came over quickly.

Neither of them had experienced anything like this before. It seemed that at the beginning, they thought everything was under control.

But looking at it now, that's not the case at all.

"Now...what should we do now?" Wu Jun asked Gu Chen at a loss.

"Block the intersection going down the mountain, and then..."

Before Gu Chen finished speaking, he heard the roar of a vehicle engine near the parking lot.

"Oops." Gu Chen seemed to realize something, his eyes froze, and he looked at Lu Weiwei, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun.

Several people seemed to understand Gu Chen's meaning instantly.

"He...are they trying to escape?" Lu Weiwei was the first to react.

The few people rushed out of the hall in a tacit agreement without much discussion, and rushed directly towards the road with vehicle lights.

"Get in the car quickly."

Wu Jun took out the car key, but Gu Chen snatched it from his hand and said, "I'll drive it."

A few people didn't care who was driving and jumped directly into the interview car.

Under Gu Chen's fierce maneuvers, the wheels quickly rubbed in place for a few times before quickly chasing the car in front.

Several nuns in long robes were also chasing after them, mumbling and waving their arms, probably thinking that Gu Chen was a thief who had stolen the Buddha statue.

Maybe it was dark and the road was slippery. In the rearview mirror, Gu Chen clearly saw several nuns falling to the ground.

But time was tight, and Gu Chen didn't care too much and kept speeding along.

After driving for nearly two kilometers on the dark road, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that there was a serious abnormality in the tire pressure display, and red alarms appeared on all four wheels.

Gu Chen braked and stopped the vehicle on the roadside.

"What...what's going on?" Bai Xiaolan was stunned.

"I don't know, I'll go down and take a look." Gu Chen pulled the handbrake, opened the door, got out of the car and checked the condition of the tires.

Gu Chen turned on the bright flashlight he carried and observed it, and found that there were industrial claw nails stuck in different positions of the four tires.

There are still some other claw nails scattered on the road.

"Junior Brother Gu, what's going on?" Lu Weiwei closed the car door and came to Gu Chen's side.

Gu Chen swept the light across the ground and said: "These guys are professionals. They have been splashed with claw nails on the road, and it is at least a few hundred meters from when we have abnormal tire pressure to here."

"In other words, these people threw nails all over the road to prevent tracking?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe what she saw.

Gu Chen nodded and said: "Although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed a fact. Our car can't run anymore."

"How could this happen?" Bai Xiaolan couldn't bear it anymore, and after getting off the car, she squatted on the side of the road: "It's over, it's over, I can't catch up, and the wheel platform has been punctured."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Looking at the four flat tires, Bai Xiaolan felt bad: "Four more flat tires at once?"

Wu Jun also checked it and said: "It seems that we can only spend the night here tonight."

While everyone was anxious, another vehicle light came from the direction of Heianji Temple.

Gu Chen immediately stood up and blocked the incoming light with his left hand.

A Range Rover off-road vehicle suddenly braked suddenly and stopped steadily in front of Gu Chen, followed by a Mercedes-Benz G.

Gu Chen saw a group of nuns jumping out of the car.

All of them were holding long sticks and looked like they were coming with bad intentions.

"That's it...it's them, don't let them escape."

"Surround them up, these thieves, and see where they go."

"Don't let these bad guys go."



A group of nuns chattered for a while, then divided into two teams and surrounded Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun from both sides.

It can be seen that this group of nuns is very timid, but with the tools in hand and the large number of people, they suddenly feel confident.

Under the dazzling light, Gu Chen couldn't see the person coming across from him at all.

It can be said that these nuns have achieved the ultimate in suppression with high beams...

"I think you misunderstood..."

Just as Gu Chen was about to speak, he felt a piercing sound coming from his ears.

A sap suddenly struck from the side while Gu Chen was suppressed by the light.

"Pa!" Gu Chen dodged his body, caught it firmly with one hand, and then threw it hard, causing the opponent to fall directly to the ground.

"Ouch."

"Are you still beating someone?" Seeing the fellow nun being thrown down, the others suddenly became timid, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Gu Chen simply threw it lightly, and the wooden stick flew into the air. Then Gu Chen caught it with both hands and bowed his left knee upward.

"Crack!"

The wooden stick was directly broken into two pieces by Gu Chen's knee attack.

"Hiss!" Seeing Gu Chen's attack power, the other nuns immediately took a few steps back, and the entire formation retreated.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the group of nuns. The person came up and asked, "Who are you? Why did you steal the Buddha statue from Heian Temple?"

"I think you misunderstood." Gu Chen threw the wooden stick broken into two pieces aside and said, "I am Gu Chen, a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group Three of Furong Branch. This is my partner, Lu Weiwei. This is

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun are reporters and photographers from Jiangnan TV."

"Police? Reporter?" The nun opposite was stunned for a moment, then cautiously stepped forward.

Gu Chen also turned sideways and took a few steps back to avoid the strong light source of the high beam.

"Are you...Master Xuanjing?" Gu Chen recognized the person. It was Xuanjing who had given him directions during the day.

"You... aren't you the policeman who had a vegetarian meal at Heian Temple? But... why haven't you left yet?"

When Xuan Jing saw Gu Chen, she was also stunned.

When the other nuns saw this, they hurried forward and murmured to each other.

"Are they really the police?"

"But why are their police here?"

"I remember that during dinner, there were indeed a few people in police uniforms eating vegetarian food."

"Did we misunderstand them?"



While everyone was puzzled, Lu Weiwei also stepped forward and said: "Master Xuanjing, I think you have misunderstood. Like you, we are also chasing the thieves who stole the Buddha statues, but these people are so abominable.

The road along the way was strewn with industrial nails, and all four tires of our vehicle were ruined."

Seeing the hesitation of the group of nuns, Bai Xiaolan immediately took out her press card, showed it in front of the group of nuns and said: "I am Bai Xiaolan, a reporter from Jiangnan TV station. We met in the afternoon. You didn't give me permission at that time."

I’m doing interviews in the meditation room.”

"Yes, yes." Xuan Jing also slapped her head: "You are that little girl, but haven't you already left? Why did you appear in the Buddhist temple again, and how did you drive away? This... you have to do this.

Can you give me an explanation?"

This kind of thing happened one night, not to mention the nuns in Ping'an Temple were a little confused, even Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were a little at a loss.

Gu Chen said: "We found three foreigners acting suspiciously in the afternoon, so we decided to stay and investigate."

Seeing that Xuan Jing was listening carefully, Gu Chen added: "But unfortunately, we lost one of the foreigners, and the power outage in Ping'an Temple was probably caused by this person. I found someone near the parking lot.

The vehicle moved strangely, so I took a few other companions to chase it, but got trapped by these industrial nails, and then...you guys came." If you like me, I am a super policeman, please collect it: (www.sodu777.
