With the pictures drawn by Yan Yuan, we can basically determine who stole the lost jade Buddha and where it was placed.
As for Yan Yuan's family background, Prince Dai had already given them investigation information before. Yan Yuan's wife was from an ordinary background, not from a wealthy family. She came from a relatively well-off merchant's family, so she married Yan Yuan in the first place. Taking a fancy to the woman's dowry, it can solve the Yan family's immediate pressing needs.
Unexpectedly, the Bao family is actually related to the Tianxing Sect, and from Yan Yuan's statement, it can be judged that Bao Gui's status in the Tianxing Sect should not be low, at least the one who can keep his word. I don’t know if the elder in the family is a member of the Tianxing Sect, or if he has been a member of the Tianxing Sect for a long time and has made a lot of contributions to the Tianxing Sect.
"Young Master." Shen Cha looked at Yan Yuan, "Does Madam have the habit of worshiping Buddha?"
"Yes." Yan Yuan nodded firmly and pointed at the portrait, "There is a Buddhist niche similar to this one at home."
"sure?"
"I'm not sure." Yan Yuan thought for a while, "I can't tell the difference very clearly. If you have any questions, you can go to your house and have a look."
Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Bai Meng exchanged glances with each other, nodded towards Yan Yuan, stood up at the same time, and left the small hall one after another.
Yan Yuan looked back at their backs, with a look of confusion on his face. He didn't know what weird things these people were doing.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door of the small hall, they met Ying Shisan who was returning from the dining room carrying a food box. Shen Cha asked him to pass the food box to Mei Lin, while Bai Meng grabbed Ying Shisan's wrist and asked him to After walking with them to the garden far away from the small hall to ensure that their voices would not reach the small hall, a few people stopped.
"What do you think..." Bai Meng raised her chin in the direction of the small hall, "How much of Yan Yuan's words are true and how false? How much can you believe?"
"I think..." Shen Cha glanced at the small hall, "Basically, I can believe it. It doesn't look like he's lying. After all, he just came back from outside and didn't know we were checking the Jade Buddha and Tianxing Sect. He's not very good at lying. Lie to us."
"Are you sure he really left Xijing? He really came back today... um, two hours ago?"
"It's basically certain." Shen Cha smiled at Bai Meng, drew a circle in the air with his hand, and said, "The moment he appeared at the door of the Duke's Mansion, his whereabouts during this period have been found out."
"So fast?"
"Commander, how can you be so negligent about the safety of the Duke and our boss?" Ying Shisan crossed his arms and said to Bai Meng, "Yan Yuan left Xijing more than a month ago. After being threatened by Prince Dai that time, he hurriedly ran away early the next morning because that night, some thugs from underground casinos went to his house to cause trouble. And the time he returned to Beijing was indeed two hours ago. We asked the guards at the gate of Xijing City, and the shadows on duty near Guogong's Mansion can also prove this. This young master is also very interesting. After returning to Beijing, he went straight to Guogong's Mansion, in front of our house I squatted for two hours without even moving." He raised his eyebrows at Bai Meng, "The guards at the city gate are the commander-in-chief's men. If they neglect their duties, the commander-in-chief will cry bitterly. Alright?"
"Crying and crying?" Bai Meng waved his hands and said with a half-smile, "If you really neglect your duty, they are the ones who should cry and cry, not me. But how did Young Master Yan come back? Someone let him go Come back, or did you find a chance to run back by yourself?"
"Yes, this is a question we will ask later." Shen Cha nodded, "Bao Gui probably won't kill Yan Yuan because of Mrs. Yan's face, but in order to prevent him from sneaking out to inform the government, he should be guarded They are very strict. Yan Yuan, a dandy with no power to restrain a chicken, is unlikely to find a chance to escape on his own. Nine times out of ten, he was secretly released. It’s just..."
"It's just that if he runs away, Bao Gui and his men will be shocked. I wonder if they will evacuate the jade shop."
"I don't know." Shen Cha shook his head, "Fei Ge has sent a letter to Liuzhou Mansion. Whether we can catch him or not depends on luck."
"Thirteen, everything has been arranged?" Seeing Ying Thirteen nodding, Shen Haolin looked at Bai Meng again, "Xiao Bai, find someone to hold your token, and let a group of people from the Forbidden Army and Patrol Battalion each take care of it. The Yan Mansion is surrounded and only people are allowed in but not allowed out. Also, be quiet so that no one inside can hear you."
"Are you trying to catch a turtle in a jar?" Bai Meng took out a token from his waist and threw it directly to Shadow Thirteen, "You Shadows should have already set up a secret whistle, right? Thirteen, take my token, Directly mobilize two teams of forbidden troops, change into civilian clothes, and ambush near Yan Mansion, and then go to the patrol camp to mobilize another team to patrol the outside."
"Commander, you are really amazing!" Shadow Thirteen caught Bai Meng's token and put it in his arms properly, "How did you know that I arranged for Shadow to spy on Yan Mansion?"
"It's just to get something to eat for the young master. Do you need to go there in person? And it took such a long time." Bai Meng smiled, "So, we all thought of going together, and we all felt that It is very likely that Bao Gui will follow him to Xijing."
"Moreover, the young master has a beast-like intuition and is very sensitive to danger." Shen Cha looked towards the direction of the small hall, "We made arrangements just in case, but after listening to Yan Yuan's words, I feel this arrangement is particularly timely and important.”
"It's because he said that after returning to Xijing, he found that there was no place he could trust except the Duke's Mansion, right?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Bai Meng sighed, "He probably thought of his own My wife also worships Buddha and has a similar Buddha statue at home, so she is very scared. Even if she is looked at as a monster, she still squats in front of the Duke's Mansion because it is safer here than at home."
"That's right."
"Sure enough, it is a beast-like intuition. If Mrs. Yan hands him over to Bao Gui after returning home, wouldn't it be another time for a sheep to fall into the tiger's mouth?" Bai Meng stretched, "You can continue to ask, I will go Now in the palace, Thirteen will come with me to transfer people to the station."
"Okay." Shen Haolin nodded, "Go back and talk to Xiaojue and tell him that we will definitely go into the house to pick up someone tomorrow."
"I know." Bai Meng nodded and snorted, "Just watch, this guy will definitely be too excited to sleep tonight."
"Oh, let alone being too excited to fall asleep." Shen Haolin complained, "I might be asking you to secretly come out tomorrow to watch the fun!"
