"So that's it. It seems that I misunderstood you just now. I'm sorry." Xuan Jing put her palms in front of her chest and bowed to apologize to Gu Chen.
There was a sudden power outage in the Buddhist temple just now, and the entire scene fell into panic and fright.
Especially after everyone discovered that the Buddha statue had been stolen, a vehicle left quickly. This made the nuns at Heian Temple angry and mistakenly mistook the chasing Gu Chen for a thief.
Now that the situation has been explained clearly, the nuns who just tried to use force to solve the problem also put down their long sticks, followed Xuan Jing, and took the initiative to walk in front of Gu Chen.
"Donor Gu, what should we do now?" Xuan Jing came here this time, of course, to chase the thief.
Gu Chen looked at the vehicle behind Xuan Jing and asked, "Are your tires okay?"
"Tires?" After being reminded by Gu Chen, Xuan Jing immediately returned to the vehicle and began to inspect the four tires one by one.
After some observation, it was discovered that the left front tire and right rear tire of the Range Rover off-road vehicle were damaged.
The Big G following the Land Rover had only its left front tire hit, but the industrial nails only stuck into the gears on the periphery of the tire and did not cause any damage.
"It seems that everyone's situation is not optimistic." Lu Weiwei also said after checking: "There are still many claw nails on the road ahead. These people are simply disgusting."
"That's right." Bai Xiaolan also stomped her feet angrily and said, "These foreigners are really good at scheming. Why didn't you find out? I remember Aunt Zhang told us that the boss of these people is just for giving
Is this the case for the person who donated your luxury car?"
Bai Xiaolan, who is a reporter, is as curious about things as Lu Weiwei.
Xuan Jing was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "Maybe Aunt Zhang remembered it wrong. This is the first time I have seen these pilgrims coming here."
"Because the incense in Heian Temple has always been very good, it is not surprising that many foreign pilgrims come every month. Maybe Aunt Zhang remembers all foreigners as the same."
"Is that so?" Bai Xiaolan was also stunned, and then said: "So, these people have nothing to do with the pilgrims who donated luxury cars?"
"What's the name of the pilgrim who donated the luxury car?" Gu Chen frowned and asked.
"My name is Henry, he is a European." Xuan Jing said.
Gu Chen didn't answer, just thought for a moment.
A nun came forward and said, "Can you police officers help with this matter?"
"This..." Gu Chen was about to speak when he suddenly stopped. He turned to look at Wu Jun beside him and asked, "Teacher Wu, have you taken pictures of these foreigners?"
"Yes." Wu Jun nodded, pointed to the camera in the car and said, "When Bai Xiaolan and I were filming the location, we took pictures of these people."
"That's good." Gu Chen nodded with satisfaction, then came to the nun who asked the question and said: "As long as you know who it is, it will be easy to find out."
"That...that's great." Several nuns almost cried with excitement.
After a night of troubles, the whole temple was not at peace. Now that I have received a reply from the police, I naturally feel at ease and not as anxious as before.
Xuan Jing said: "I see your car is also broken down. Why don't you come back to the temple with us and stay at Ping'an Temple for the night. I'll have people clean the road tomorrow to make sure there are no more accidents with vehicles."
"It would be great if that's the case." Lu Weiwei had wanted to say this for a long time, but Xuan Jing spoke first, and Lu Weiwei was naturally happy.
Then several people left their vehicles on the roadside and followed the nun up the mountain.
The next morning.
The nuns and lay disciples who were responsible for cleaning the nails on the road also returned to Heian Temple with brooms.
Because I heard that the road was blocked last night, many pilgrims who drove up the mountain did not go back and spent the night at Heian Temple.
Early this morning, Officer Wang also drove to Ping'an Temple.
Also coming with me was a tire repairman with a full set of tools.
"Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei." Officer Wang got out of the car and walked towards Gu Chen.
Everyone waited in the Heianji parking lot for a long time.
At the same time, waiting to go home, there were other pilgrims going up the mountain.
The entire Heianji parking lot was also crowded with people.
"The circuit at Ping'an Temple has been repaired. It was caused by someone deliberately sabotaging it..." Gu Chen told Officer Wang exactly what happened last night.
Officer Wang scratched his head desperately and said: "It seems that your judgment yesterday was correct. Send me the appearance and characteristics of these people, and I will ask my colleagues in the bureau to check and see where these people come from."
"It's all here." Lu Weiwei turned on her phone and sent all the videos taken by Wu Jun's camera last night to Comrade Lao Wang.
When the surrounding pilgrims saw the police at the scene, they also gathered around and asked about the progress of the case.
"Comrade police, have you caught the thief?"
"Is the road down the mountain easy? Are there any nails on the road?"
"Theft of a Buddha statue is a big deal. It is a family relic of Lao Hu."
"Comrade police, you must hurry up and solve the case."
Also because of the fright last night, many pilgrims were chattering endlessly, as if everything would be solved when the police arrived.
Officer Wang also said helplessly: "We will follow up on the case, please rest assured. In addition, the road to the bottom of the mountain is also open. We just drove up the mountain, so please rest assured."
At this time, an old nun wearing glasses, accompanied by Xuan Jing and several other nuns, came to Officer Wang.
"Police donor." The old nun first saluted Officer Wang, and then said: "The Buddha statue stolen from our temple this time has a history of 200 years, and the donor, Mr. Hu, is related to our Ping'an Temple."
"This time, because the Buddha statue was stolen from the main hall, he has fallen ill in the Zen room."
After thinking for a while, the old nun said again: "I know this case is too sudden, and it seems that none of us have thought of it, but no matter what, please help me find the Buddha statue, okay?"
Officer Wang didn't know how to answer...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Because since Gu Chen discovered the abnormality yesterday, it seems that all these things are destined.
However, the evidence was insufficient at the time, and it was difficult for Officer Wang to classify this as work.
But now it seems that Gu Chen's insight is indeed higher than ordinary people.
From a few remaining cigarette butts in the forest, he could associate some suspicious events, which were completely unimaginable to ordinary people.
But Gu Chen did it, so how to handle this matter, Officer Wang actually believed that it would be more appropriate to let Gu Chen answer.
Gu Chen quickly understood Officer Wang's gaze and said hurriedly: "This matter is all under the control of our police, and the case is being followed up. It won't be long before we can track down this stolen Buddha statue."
Come back, so please don’t rush."
"It would be best if this is the case." Xuan Jing also stood up and said: "Donor Hu had previously rejected high-priced offers from some buyers and insisted on donating this Buddha statue to Ping'an Temple."
"We at Heian Temple are also very responsible for the theft at Heian Temple, so we would be grateful if the stolen Buddha statue could be recovered."
Xuan Jing also cut her palms with one hand and expressed her gratitude to Gu Chen using Buddhist etiquette.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Well, I'll go back to the branch with Senior Brother Wang to investigate this matter clearly. If there is any situation, we will notify you immediately."
"Okay." Xuan Jing nodded, then took a business card from her body, handed it to Gu Chen with both hands and said, "This is my business card. Donor Gu, please take it. If there is any news, please notify me immediately."
Gu Chen simply looked at the business card, then put it into his pocket and said, "Definitely."
Everyone said goodbye in the Heianji parking lot and then left in the car.
Officer Wang was driving the car, and Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were sitting in the back seat.
After the tires of Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun's interview car were repaired, they followed closely behind.
Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen boredly and asked, "Junior Brother Gu, did Master Xuanjing give you his business card?"
"Yes." Gu Chen reached into his pocket and handed the business card to Lu Weiwei.
"Ping'an Temple: Xuan Jing, phone number? QQ? WeChat? Email? Weibo?"
After looking at the business card format that was the same as that of people in the workplace today, Lu Weiwei said uncomfortably: "Master Xuanjing's business card really follows the trend. This is the first time I have met a nun with a business card."
"This is nothing unusual." Gu Chen turned around and said with a smile: "After all, monks and nuns also have to go out to communicate. Handing a business card when you meet can help people remember you quickly."
"That's true." Officer Wang, who was driving, also said, "In the advertising company downstairs from my house, I saw a business card with a monk's business card, and his position is abbot."
"Sure enough, everything must keep pace with the times." Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that she also had to make some business cards or something.
When the three of them arrived at Furong Branch, Officer Ding had already screenshotted the video sent by Officer Wang and compared the faces of the three foreigners in the database.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang waited in the office for about a quarter of an hour when good news came from Officer Ding.
"Old Wang, I found it."
Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen also hurried over and gathered around Officer Ding.
"These three people, with European nationality, came to Jiangnan City for tourism at the beginning of the month. Judging from the accommodation information of the three people, it seems that the destination of these people is Heian Temple."
"Let me take a look." Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to push away Officer Ding and took the mouse to check.
Sure enough, according to the registration system of several people, after getting off the plane in Shanghai, they took the high-speed train directly to Jiangnan City and chose to stay in a hotel near Ping'an Temple.
Several people have stayed here for a week, and several of them have records of renting cars in Jiangnan City.
Judging from various signs, it seems that the purpose of these people coming to Jiangnan City is indeed for the Buddha statue.
"Well done." Officer Wang patted Officer Ding on the shoulder and said, "Old Ding, with this information, I think there will be no problem in finding these foreigners."
"A few people rented cars to go up the mountain." Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang and said, "Brother Wang, we should go to the car rental agency immediately."
"There are also hotels. Don't miss any of these places." Lu Weiwei quickly added.
The biggest fear in the investigation is that there will be no clues...
Now, when these foreigners were preparing to commit the crime, they did not notice that they were being targeted by the police.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
Although these people were allowed to escape from the temple, it was not difficult to catch them as long as they had not left Jiangnan City.
"Call all the people from the third group over." Officer Wang raised his head and chest, feeling that something had been done again.
Soon, some old and new comrades, including Officer Ding, were summoned to the office of Group Three by Officer Wang.
After simply deploying some action plans, everyone dispersed and searched for the target area.
Hotels, street restaurants, car rental agencies.
Every place has not been missed.
After Gu Chen took a screenshot of the picture on his mobile phone and handed it to the boss of Rocket Car Rental, the boss immediately recognized the three of them.
"That's right, comrade police, these people you are looking for have indeed rented cars from me."
"What about now? Has the vehicle been returned to you?" Gu Chen quickly asked again.
"Wait a minute." The owner of the car rental agency immediately opened the computer system and found the car rental information of the three people: "Yes, these people rented a white off-road vehicle for three days."
Pulling down the scroll bar on the computer screen again, the owner of the car rental agency said again: "The deadline for return is one o'clock in the afternoon, which is probably soon."
"Junior Brother Gu, do you think these people will return the car?" Lu Weiwei expressed doubts about the integrity of these three thieves.
Gu Chen looked at the boss and asked, "What are your car rental conditions?"
"Sesame Credit is all online. The higher the credit, the lower the deposit, however."
Looking at the expectant looks in Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang's eyes, the owner of the car rental agency added: "But these people are all foreigners. I collected a lot of deposits and a passport from them."
"Can you show it to me?" Gu Chen asked.
"Okay." The boss was very happy. He immediately opened the safe at the back with the key based on the computer information, found one of the passports, and handed it to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen simply read through it.
The man's name is Alande, he is 29 years old. It is his first time to come to Jiangnan City and also his first time to China.
But it's obvious that they didn't come here for a trip. Like a precise strike, they had already targeted Heian Temple.
Looking at the price information on the car rental shop owner's computer, Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Isn't it too expensive to rent a car here? You can rent two or three cars at this price in China, and your car is not that good either.
."
"Comrade police, are you joking?" The owner of the car rental agency smiled and said, "These foreigners are very generous. After listening to my quotation, they paid directly. But I was talking about Mao Zedong, and they paid
Euros, then why don’t I accept them? As long as they don’t have any objections.”
"You can't do business like this, do you understand?" Officer Wang also said in an educational tone.
The owner of the car rental shop scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "It's just this one time, it's just this one time. Our car rental business is not doing well here. If we don't rent it out at a higher price, can we make back the rent on this store? Besides,
Yes, all the car rental agencies here do this."
"I won't discuss the car rental price now." Gu Chen directly interrupted the car rental shop owner's explanation and said directly: "If those three foreigners come to the store later, I hope you will cooperate with our police to handle the case and arrest these people.
Three people.”
"What...what? These three people broke the law?" the owner of the car rental agency said.
"Theft of major property." Lu Weiwei told him directly and said, "Is this a suitable reason?"
"It's appropriate, of course it's appropriate." The owner of the car rental agency hesitated for a moment, then weakly asked Gu Chen beside him: "Officer Gu, how do you need me to cooperate with you later?"
Gu Chen thought about it and said, "Let's do this. Make a phone call first and urge these people to hand over the car as soon as possible."
"It's just...that simple?" The owner of the car rental agency was also stunned.
As a result, he looked at Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang next to him with expressions of despair, and immediately said, "Well... well, I'll call them now to make them return the car."
Subsequently, the owner of the car rental agency made a direct call based on the phone number left by the foreigner who rented the car.
After some communication, he hung up the phone and said: "No problem, they are on the way and they will arrive in ten minutes."
"Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen quickly looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "Hurry up and hide the police car, don't alert the enemy."
"But...but this is an open-air parking lot, where can I hide it?" Lu Weiwei was confused for a moment, and quickly walked to the door and looked around.
The owner of the car rental shop hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter. You drive your car into the store. I'll open the rolling shutter to the backyard. It can hide your police car."
"Okay, I'll drive." Gu Chen didn't have time to think too much and took the key directly from Officer Wang. He skillfully drove into the car rental store in reverse and backed out of the rolling shutter door.
After Gu Chen came in, the owner of the car rental shop immediately pulled down the rolling shutter and took the three of them to the bathroom near the door. He said, "You three hide here first. When they come to the store, I will control them first."
Stop, close the rolling shutter in the store, and then we can catch turtles in the jar again."
Seeing that among the three policemen, Lu Weiwei was a policewoman, the enthusiastic car rental owner said again: "I will assist you later. Three grown men can handle three foreigners, right?"
"Then it will be hard work."
As soon as Officer Wang patted the owner of the car rental agency on the shoulder, on the other side, there was a sound of cars approaching outside.
The three of them quickly closed the door.
"Boss." A tall, thin, blond foreign man walked in speaking broken Chinese after closing the car door.
Behind him are two other blond men.
Although he is not as tall as the first person, his body is very strong.
Three people walked in in the shape of a human being.
"Who are here?" The owner of the car rental agency was a little nervous.
After all, this was my first time doing this, so I cooperated with the police in catching the thief.
But now if we take a closer look, we can see that the three foreign men are generally between 1.8 and 1.9 meters tall.
As for my height of 1.75 meters, I obviously cannot have an advantage in front of the three of them. The key is that I am still thin.
"I'll give you the car keys, do you want to inspect the car?" said a foreign man in the lead.
"Oh, okay, okay." The owner of the car rental agency was stunned, took the car keys, and was about to get up to inspect the car.
However, three men immediately followed behind them, making it difficult to implement the plan of closing the car rental shop. They immediately turned around and said, "Sit down here, I'll come as soon as I can, okay?"
Upon hearing this, the three blond men immediately looked at each other.
The foreign man in the lead nodded and said: "Okay, boss, you go to inspect the car, you two will rest here, and I... need to go to the toilet." If you like me, I am a super policeman, please collect it: (www.
