"Buddha statue?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Both banks lost both Buddha statues? Are they all made of gold?"
"Both families lost both Buddha statues." Mei Lin handed the pieces of paper in her hand to Shen Haolin, "One family has a golden Buddha, and the other has a jade Buddha. The appearance of the two Buddha statues has been drawn." She said to Shen Haolin. Looking at the few in Shen Haolin's hand, he raised his chin and said, "They're all in there."
"These two banks only lost the Buddha statues? Is the Buddha statue the most valuable in that cellar?" Song Jue picked up Shen Haolin's shoulders and looked with him, "Didn't he steal from seven banks? Apart from these two banks, What’s going on with the other five companies?”
"There are still things for eating and drinking, but this time there is no gold, silver, jade, or satin porcelain. The two banks also only lost the Buddha statues, and nothing else was lost. They were intact. Both shopkeepers said that if the strange thieves hadn't come this time, Steal, they have already forgotten these two Buddha statues."
"Forgot?" Shen Cha frowned, "Isn't this their thing?"
"It's not theirs, it's stored here by their old friends from their fathers." Merlin nodded, "Before their fathers passed away, they told them to take good care of it and not to throw it away, otherwise they would suffer unexpected disasters. So they built the cellar at the same time. , put the box containing the Buddha statues in the most hidden corner of the cellar, and blocked the outside of the box with other treasures. As a result, the monster thief didn't take any treasures, only these two Buddha statues." Merlin shrugged, "I don't know what the flying disasters mentioned by the fathers of these two shopkeepers are. Is it true or is it a lie made up to scare them so that they can take a good look at the two Buddha statues?"
"Are these two banks next to each other? Do the bank managers know each other?"
"They are not next to each other. One is on the street and the other is at the end of the street. But these two families are family friends, and their friendship has lasted for three generations. Although they are peers, they have a good relationship with each other." Merlin sighed, "There are still other cases involved in this case. One thing that needs special attention is that the Phantom Thief's action has been advanced. This time it was three days earlier than the last time. Also, this time, the seven shops did not receive the so-called warning, and they were completely caught off guard."
"Perhaps..." Shen Haolin and Song Jue finished reading the pieces of paper and handed them directly to Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, "Is there a possibility that our judgment was wrong from the beginning? The Phantom Thief's repeated attacks in the past month and a half were all to deceive others, draw our attention in other directions, and make us ignore the bank. After our attention was successfully diverted by him, he suddenly took action and struck That’s it.”
"But, what's so special about this Buddha statue that it's worth going to such trouble to steal? Besides..." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Besides, if they had stolen these two statues from the beginning without anyone noticing, If the Buddha statue was stolen, perhaps only the shopkeeper would find out that the Buddha statue was missing when he took inventory of the cellar, and there would never have been such a loud fuss and everyone would know about it."
"What you both said makes sense." Song Jue looked at Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo, whose expressions became very solemn, "Uncle and Uncle Wang, what do you two think?"
Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo looked at each other, did not answer Song Jue's questions, but exchanged a few words in a low voice, took out the paintings of the two Buddha statues, stood up and walked out.
"You..." Song Jue looked confused, "What are you two going to do?"
"Go to see the Queen Mother." Prince Dai looked at them seriously, "Before we come back, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Just wait here, understand?" Seeing a few children nodding obediently, he turned his gaze again His Highness Prince Ning, Eunuch Cui, and Eunuch Pan, "You should be careful with them. Don't allow them to take a step out of this door. Don't answer any questions related to this..." He shook the two pieces of paper in his hand, "Any questions related to this!"
"knew!"
Prince Dai's eyes stayed on everyone's face for a while, making sure that they listened to his words, and then he dragged Wu Qingruo out. However, the two people did not go far. They stood at the door of the hall and waited for a while. They did not hear any sound coming from inside, and then they really left.
When Prince Dai and Wu Qingruo really left, Mei Lin gestured to several people in the palace.
Song Jue and Bai Meng came to the side of His Highness Prince Ning, Eunuch Pan and Eunuch Cui, surrounding the three of them.
"Tell me, what's going on with these two Buddha statues?"
"You guys, wait for the letter honestly. What should be told to you will not be hidden from you, and what should not be told to you will not be told no matter what." His Highness Prince Ning raised his eyebrows at a few people and looked at Pan Eunuch-in-law and Eunuch Cui, "However, I can tell you one thing, if their expectations come true, then we will face opponents that are stronger and more difficult to fight than Wanyanping, the Tantai family, and the Teng family." He ignored several children With a look of confusion on his face, he sighed softly, "This is life!" He looked at Eunuch Cui and Eunuch Pan, "If it is confirmed, you two will let the news out, inform everyone who can be informed, and tell them , old friends come to visit, be prepared to welcome the guests."
