Shao Dengke's face turned cold again when he saw that everyone in front of him was telling each other off and didn't say anything useful at all.
"Stop arguing, don't talk about other people's affairs now, tell us one by one, where you were and what you did last night!"
Everyone in the living room stopped when they heard this, but no one spoke first.
When Shao Dengke saw this, the expression on his face became even colder, and then he took a deep breath and said.
"Don't think that nothing will happen if you don't say anything. Now that the Buddhist scriptures are lost, the old lady is very unhappy if the Buddhist scriptures are not recovered.
This matter will not be easy to deal with. If the Buddhist scriptures cannot be found and there is something wrong with the old lady, you will not be able to get over it! "
"From today on, everyone will gather here every morning and evening. No one is allowed to go out without my approval."
Shao Dengke then glanced at the row of people in front of him, and then continued.
"Speak one by one from left to right. If anyone can't explain clearly, I will treat you as the mole. Start talking!"
Shao Dengke's wife and his son and daughter saw that Shao Dengke looked very bad, and explained one by one from left to right.
After everyone finished explaining, Shao Dengke didn't find anything wrong with anyone's words, so he could only say it with a cold face.
"You all go back. If the Buddhist scriptures are not recovered, no one can go out. We must gather here every morning and evening!"
When everyone heard this, they naturally dispersed quickly. When everyone left, Cheng Cai walked in slowly.
Shao Dengke said: "Agent Cheng, you have also seen it. I feel that there is nothing wrong with them. Is the guess just now wrong?"
Cheng Shi smiled and replied: "It's too early to say that I made a mistake. By the way, which one of your wives is the one who talked the least?!"
Shao Dengke was stunned for a moment, and then said with a puzzled look on his face: "That's my sixth wife, you don't think there's something wrong with her, do you?!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "I do think there is something wrong with her. Since she is your sixth wife, how can she stand in the middle?!"
Shao Dengke immediately understood what Cheng Shi meant, and he continued to explain.
"There is a reason for this. She is the quietest among my seven wives. She does not fight or compete for anything. The old lady likes her the most.
Moreover, she also believes in Buddhism and is the most talkative with the old lady. In addition, she does not fight for anything, and her relationship with other ladies is similar.
Therefore, when everyone is around and there is no need to earn anything, they will give it to her, and this should be the same in the middle of the station. "
After Cheng Shi heard this, although his suspicion of the Sixth Madam became smaller, she was indeed the most suspicious person among them all.
Cheng Shi continued: "Okay, but she is indeed the most suspicious person. As for the other people, I am still observing!
Anyway, Boss Shao, please be careful, there are no useful clues right now, I want to look around inside and outside your house! "
Shao Dengke said doubtfully: "What's the use of just wandering around? It's better to interrogate Li Dali and Liu San, right?!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said, "The two of them can't run away now, but they won't confess easily.
I also wanted to look around to see if the Buddhist scriptures had been taken away by the other party, or if the Buddhist scriptures were still in your house! "
……………
Shao Zhai is located in a relatively remote area of Shanghai. Its main layout is to find tranquility amidst the bustle. In front of the main entrance is a spacious street.
Therefore, there are many shops on both sides of the road, and they are also some shops and the like. It is just before dinner in the evening.
So the streets are busy at this time, but the owners of all the shops look at other people as if they are watching thieves.
They all also knew about the theft of the Shao family's Buddhist scriptures, and the Shao family had spread the word that they would be heavily rewarded for finding the thief.
Of course they want to establish a relationship with the Shao family, a wealthy family here, and they are all interested in suspicious people nearby.
As soon as Cheng Shi walked out of the gate, he saw Deng Xin sitting on the ground opposite the gate. Deng Xin saw Cheng Shi coming out, stood up and said.
"Brother Cheng, you finally came out. Our case is almost settled. Why did you hand it over to Feng Tao? Feng Tao took a big advantage.
Moreover, the Chief Inspector also said that he would bring you here to investigate a theft case, a theft case. Isn’t this overkill? !
And to catch a thief, you have to do it yourself. Just leave the theft case to me, and let Brother Cheng see my ability to catch thieves. "
Cheng Shi looked at Deng Xin, who stood up for him and praised him at the same time, smiled, and then interrupted the other party's eloquence.
"Why are you here?!"
Deng Xin paused and said with some embarrassment: "Feng Tao's people have taken over the case, and I don't want to work with him, so I came here to find you. Brother Cheng won't chase me away, right?!"
Cheng Shi shook his head and continued, "Why would I let you go? This case needs your experience in catching thieves!"
Deng Xin continued: "It's just a thief. Brother Cheng should be able to find it soon. I just go and catch him!"
Cheng Shi continued: "This case is not that simple, nor is it just a theft case!"
Deng Xin looked puzzled. Cheng Shi then briefly expressed his views on the case. Deng Xin said with a surprised look on his face.
"I see, then this case is indeed not simple, so what should we do now?!"
Cheng Shi then walked towards the nearest shop, and then said with a smile to Deng Xin who was quickly following him.
"Of course I'm going to inquire about the Shao family. It's impossible for Shao Dengke to tell me everything, and there are many things that he definitely doesn't know!
I guess Shao Dengke doesn’t know as much about their family as the people in the surrounding shops. It’s important to hear more news from outsiders! "
When Cheng Shi entered the store, the boss looked at the two strangers up and down with a smile on his face and was about to speak.
Cheng Shi took out his detective card first and showed it, then said: "Boss, I am the detective hired by Boss Shao to catch the thief. Now, I want to ask you something."
The shop owner looked at the two people in front of him and saw that they were either buying things or inquiring about something, and his face suddenly dropped.
"Oh, it turns out they are two agents. I know the Shao family lost something, but I don't know what the news is. If I had known, I would have gone to find Boss Shao to collect the reward!"
Cheng Shi took out his money and indicated that he wanted to buy something. When the boss saw the money, he smiled and said.
"Whatever you want to ask, just ask!"
Cheng Shi then asked: "I would like to ask some things about Boss Shao's wife and what happened to their family recently?!"
The boss hesitated when he heard this, and finally said doubtfully: "Does this have anything to do with catching a thief?! And I don't dare to talk nonsense about Mr. Shao's family affairs!"
