Early the next morning, Wu's family suddenly came to Xie Xuan to report the crime:
"The Buddha statue at home suddenly disappeared."
Xie Xuan asked in surprise: "Is the Buddha statue lost? Is there anything else missing?"
"Only the Buddha statue was lost."
Xie Xuan immediately said: "Go and have a look."
When he arrived at Wu's residence on Fuxian Road, Xie Xuan went directly to the Buddhist temple.
A golden Buddha that was originally placed on the altar table has disappeared!
Xie Xuan asked: "Mrs. Wang, when did the Golden Buddha disappear?"
"Last night, to be precise, it should be in the middle of the night. I went to bed when I was pregnant, and came to the Buddhist temple before dawn. The golden Buddha was still there last night, but it disappeared this morning."
Xie Xuan turned to ask: "Platoon Leader Zhang, didn't your people hear any noise last night?"
The platoon leader he was talking about, named Zhang Puning, was the guard platoon leader responsible for Wu's arrangements.
In view of Wu's status, Zhang Puning, the platoon leader, is a high-ranking officer with the military rank of captain.
Zhang Puning shook his head: "We have three guard shifts taking turns to guard, and we didn't hear any noise at night."
He is responsible for the security here. He has dozens of people under his command, but he has not even discovered a thief. This is a serious dereliction of duty.
Fortunately, Wu was not harmed, otherwise not only would he lose his hat, but his head would also fall to the ground.
Xie Xuan said angrily: "Could it be said that the Golden Buddha has wings and can't fly?"
Zhang Puning lowered his head: "I don't know about this either."
He actually hoped that the Golden Buddha could grow wings and fly away, so that he would not be responsible.
Wu said anxiously: "Mr. Xie, please hurry up and find the Golden Buddha. I have been worshiping this Golden Buddha for more than ten years. I can die, but I can't throw it away."
Xie Xuan said solemnly: "Mrs. Wang, please don't worry, as long as the Golden Buddha doesn't have legs, I will definitely find it back!"
As soon as he said these words, Zhang Puning showed disdain on his face. You can talk nonsense, but how can you talk nonsense? Lost items may be found, but there is no guarantee that they will be recovered.
Xie Xuan is from Shenpu. No matter how talented you are, you won't be able to show it in Foshan.
Wu quickly said: "Then please leave it to Mr. Xie."
After Xie Xuan returned to the Gendarmerie, he received another telegram from Li Junshi.
There is only one content: bring Wu to Shenpu as soon as possible to relieve Mr. Wang's Oedipus pain.
As Wu is getting older, she burns incense and worships Buddha every day. It is understandable that she does not want to leave Foshan.
But Li Junshi knew that Wang Mingzhao actually wanted to take his mother to his side.
In addition to fulfilling his filial piety, it also makes him feel more at ease.
Peace of mind means a home, and having a mother means having a home. Everyone hopes that their mother can be by their side.
Xie Xuan was not able to call Li Junshi back yesterday, but today, he was confident and immediately called Li Junshi back: "Wu will be leaving soon."
Li Junshi was very happy to receive Xie Xuan's telegram.
Although he didn't know what method Xie Xuan used, he must be very confident that Xie Xuan could say such a thing.
Li Junshi called Xie Xuan back: Can Wang's mother come to Suzhou to stay for a few days?
Naturally, Xie Xuan would not refuse such a request. After all, if Li Junshi wanted to flatter Wang Mingzhao, he had to deliver the "horse" to Li Junshi.
Xie Xuan immediately replied: Yes.
After receiving this telegram, Li Junshi felt completely relieved.
He immediately prepared a place for Mrs. Wu. When Mrs. Wu came to Suzhou, naturally she could not be allowed to live elsewhere and had to live in her own home.
Xie Xuan has already reported to him that Wu is a Buddhist and she spends more time in the Buddhist hall at home than sleeping.
Apart from eating and sleeping, I basically spend the rest of my time in the Buddhist hall.
After Xie Xuan left, Zhang Puning also checked around the house. If he could find the Golden Buddha before Xie Xuan, he could minimize his responsibility.
However, Zhang Puning is a soldier. He has never investigated a case and has no experience in this area.
When it comes to arranging troops, he might be able to tell one, two, or three, but when it comes to investigating the case, he has searched all the Buddhist halls and the walls of his home, but he has found nothing.
Without the golden Buddha, Wu's heart was completely confused. She could neither sit nor stand.
From time to time, I would call Zhang Puning over and ask him if there was any progress.
Zhang Puning could only shake his head every time. Whenever he could find some clues, he could comfort Wu.
Zhang Puning suddenly said: "Old madam, could it be that the Golden Buddha really flew away?"
Wu said dissatisfiedly: "How can the Golden Buddha fly?"
"this……"
Zhang Puning also thinks this statement is ridiculous, but for now, he hopes for this ending the most.
In the afternoon, Zhang Puning went out. He wanted to find Xie Xuan to find out if there were any clues about the Golden Buddha.
In addition, I also want to inquire from a side, whether the superiors will punish me?
Xie Xuan came from Shenpu to pick up Wu on behalf of Wang Mingzhao. If Xie Xuan's mouth was a little crooked, he would not be able to be a guard platoon leader.
Zhang Puning asked: "Mr. Xie, have you found the whereabouts of the Golden Buddha?"
Xie Xuan said: "Not so fast."
Zhang Puning asked: "So, do you have any clues?"
Xie Xuan nodded: "Of course."
After returning from Fuxian Road, he received the golden Buddha.
Last night, Mr. Cai's people went to the Buddhist temple and brought the golden Buddha.
The reason why Wu wanted to take the golden Buddha, which Wu regarded as life, was also to allow her to leave Foshan smoothly.
Otherwise, the old lady would not go to Shenpu because she only worships Buddha.
Zhang Puning asked: "Can you tell me about it?"
Xie Xuan shook his head: "Until we find the Golden Buddha, we can't tell you the details. Of course, if Platoon Leader Zhang wants to help, that's not impossible."
Zhang Puning said hurriedly: "Of course I want to help. It was Zhang who neglected his duty last night. I hope he can redeem himself with meritorious deeds."
Xie Xuan asked: "Do you really want to redeem yourself through meritorious deeds?"
"Yeah."
Xie Xuan whispered in Zhang Puning's ear: "Okay, when you go back, tell Mrs. Wang this..."
The more Zhang Puning listened, the bigger his eyes widened, and finally he showed an expression of disbelief.
Zhang Puning asked: "Mr. Xie, is this possible?"
Xie Xuan smiled and said, "Of course you can. Don't worry, the Golden Buddha will definitely be found. Then Mrs. Wang will naturally not doubt your words. Perhaps Platoon Leader Zhang will be able to rise to great heights in the future."
In fact, even if Zhang Puning didn't come to him, he would still have to find an opportunity to discuss with Zhang Puning.
Only if the people around Wu cooperate can his plan succeed.
When talking to Mr. Cai yesterday, Mr. Cai put forward her idea. Mr. Cai knew that Wu believed in Buddhism and wanted to find a master to persuade Wu to go to Shenpu.
But Xie Xuan changed her plan. Rather than being persuaded by others, it was better to let Wu realize it herself.
After Zhang Puning returned to Fuxian Road, he immediately went to see Wu.
Zhang Puning said solemnly: "Old madam, I just met a magic fortune teller on the street. I asked him to calculate it. He said that the golden Buddha at home neither had wings nor was it stolen. But I wanted to do it myself.”
