I am a super cop

Chapter 329 Missing

"Junior Brother Gu, over there." Lu Weiwei pointed behind a nun and said, "That guy is over there."

Gu Chen also followed his gaze.

Indeed, the three people who gathered just now have obviously been broken into pieces.

One man was in the left passage of the main hall, while the other was beside Master Xuan Jing, and the two seemed to be stuck.

"But where is the other person? Aren't they together?" Gu Chen quickly glanced around.

From a distance, they are all heads, and it is difficult to find No.3 foreigners.

The two searched for about 10 minutes, but still found nothing.

At this time, the early morning bell rang, and outside the main hall, a nun was hitting the big bell with a wooden stake.

The entire top of the Ping'an Temple was suddenly silent in a different atmosphere.

The nun in the front row began to babble and recite scriptures...

The difference from just now is that the voice of scripture chanting is louder this time.

The 60-year-old man immediately stepped forward, cut his palm with one hand, and agreed with the nun next to Master Xuanjing.

"Benefactor Hu, thank you for your donation to the monastery." An old nun wearing glasses bowed his head immediately.

"Where." The man smiled and said, "This Buddha statue was originally an item from Ping'an Temple 200 years ago. It was stolen by thieves and lost in the rivers and lakes. Later, it was found by ancestors and returned to Ping'an Temple."

"But at that time, the abbot of the Ping'an Temple said that this object was destined for the ancestors, so he gave it to the ancestors. It was not a valuable object at first, but after 200 years, its value has skyrocketed. Now I would like to give this Buddha statue, Give it back to Ping'an Temple as a token of appreciation..."

The two started talking politely as they came and went.

Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen were stunned and almost fell asleep. They seriously suspected that they had memorized their lines.

But the focus of the two is not this, but the two foreigners.

At this moment, the two foreigners were still standing where they were just now, without moving at all.

And the pilgrims in the main hall also began to look forward to this Buddha statue.

"A lot of people came here by car, is it just to see the honor of the Buddha statue?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously, looking at Gu Chen beside her.

"Maybe." Gu Chen held his chin and thought for a while: "You don't know how many fans there are in this circle. From Zhang Jinlan's donation of 50, it can be seen that these people are all devoted to Buddha."

"It's terrible, one donation is 50, 50, how many potato chips do you have to buy?" Lu Weiwei thought about Zhang Jinlan's whole body feeling bad when she stretched out those five domineering fingers.

On the other side, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also walked over from the side passage. According to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei's eyes, they were already standing behind one of the foreigners.

And the foreigner didn't seem to find any abnormality at all.

After the old nun greeted the man for a while, the man suddenly gestured to two men carrying wooden boxes.

Soon, the three-dimensional wooden box of half a meter in length, width and height was opened, and an exquisite Buddha head statue was displayed in front of everyone.

The scene suddenly boiled, and everyone leaned forward.

And the group of lay disciples in long gowns consciously acted as order maintainers, holding hands to keep the crowd at the periphery.

"Everyone, don't crowd, lean back and don't stand forward."

"Don't go forward here, don't move."

"Back, back."

There was also a burst of exclamation from the crowd.

"My God! This is the Buddha statue that the host often mentions!"

"I heard that the market value has soared to tens of millions."

"The 200-year-old object has returned to the Ping'an Temple today. Congratulations."

"Lao Hu is really good. He even donated the family relics. It seems that we donated one million or hundreds of thousands. It's really embarrassing."

……

After hearing these people's conversation, Lu Weiwei at the side became a little restless.

A million or hundreds of thousands is still called shameless?
Tsk tsk, the degree of weirdness of these people is far beyond Lu Weiwei's imagination.

And Gu Chen also had his own worries, so he hurriedly asked a middle-aged man beside him: "Brother, are you not afraid of being stolen if the Buddha statue is donated here? There are no security measures."

"Measures? What measures do you want? Didn't you see so many people at the scene? Can you still fly?" The man directly laughed at Gu Chen's worry.

And the other man immediately said: "Tonight is the day when the Buddha statue returns. Everyone should gather around here to chant scriptures. Tomorrow there will be a special anti-theft facility company to help set up an anti-theft box in the hall. The company was introduced by me."

When the man said this, he was quite proud.

"So that's how it is." Gu Chen nodded, obviously he didn't think things would be so simple.

In the entire hall, not to mention the three foreigners, there were more than a dozen people who looked suspicious to Gu Chen.

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun came to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei from the spot just now, pointed at the foreigner and said, "They are already together, is there another one?"

"I don't know." Gu Chen also shook his head and said: "After these people separated, I can only find traces of these two people, and I don't know what they are doing."

Bai Xiaolan was timid, her face turned yellow from fright, and she quickly said: "I always feel that these foreigners are not simple. I have been standing behind that foreigner, and his head seems to be watching left and right."

"I feel that he must be waiting for something. I always feel that something will happen later, because my right eyelid has been twitching. I know the saying that the left eye twitches money and the right eye twitches disaster."

Gu Chen patted Bai Xiaolan on the shoulder: "It's okay, let's wait and see what happens."

"I think it's enough to keep an eye on these two foreigners." Lu Weiwei stood on tiptoe, observed the two foreigners, and said: "The three of them are a group anyway, even if the other can't be found, these two will run away." not drop."

"I agree with Senior Sister Lu's opinion." Gu Chen also said.

Lu Weiwei wanted to go with him.

The Buddha statues were placed on the yellow cloth, and the nuns were babbling and chanting scriptures.

On the outside were lay disciples, and on the outside were pilgrims who came here admiringly. Everyone sat on the ground around the Buddha statue and began to recite scriptures silently.

Gu Chen also noticed that the two foreigners were also sitting in the ranks of the lay disciples at the moment, imitating everyone and reciting scriptures.

1 points in the early hours.

The hall is still the same as before.

2 points in the early hours.

Many people were very sleepy, and many pilgrims stood up, retreated slowly, and went to the meditation room prepared by the Peace Temple.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, as well as Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun, felt very guilty.

Of course, the four of them are not used to this kind of atmosphere, but for the unsolved answer, everyone has been insisting on it.

Bai Xiaolan and Lu Weiwei had heavy eyelids, and they huddled in a corner of the hall, leaning against each other to support each other.

Wu Jun pretended to insist at first, but later he couldn't hold on anymore.

He looked at Gu Chen beside him, this guy was as excited as a chicken.

Of course, Gu Chen would not mention to Wu Jun that he had already stocked up nearly a hundred bottles of energy drinks.

Gu Chen drank the two bottles together, and immediately felt like he could fight till dawn without sleep for two days and two nights.

Looking down at his watch, it was already 2:13 in the morning.

Logically speaking, this is the most exhausting time of the day for human beings.

Gu Chen even found that many lay disciples were starting to feel a little bit unsustainable.

Of course, Gu Chen also asked the pilgrims around him, and he heard that such a ceremony would last all night.

Thinking about it this way, it's even harder than the police on night shift, isn't it?

But just as Gu Chen was thinking about it, the whole hall suddenly went dark, and all the lights went out instantly.

Not only in the main hall, but also in the corridors next to it, and even near the parking lot, almost all the lights were extinguished at this moment.

The entire hall suddenly fell into a panic.

"what's up?"

"Why is there no electricity?"

"Everyone, don't crowd, please sit where you are, and don't walk around."

"Has anyone gone to check the switch?"

"Xuan Jing knows where it is, Xuan Jing, go and have a look."

"Good senior sister."

……

There was a burst of noise, and there were all kinds of voices.

Although all the lights were extinguished in an instant, fortunately, there were still many red candles still lit in the hall.

But I don't know who suddenly screamed, and in an instant, everyone fell into panic.

"Oh, the Buddha statue is gone."

"What... what? The Buddha statue is gone? Wasn't it still here just now?"

"No... I don't know, I saw it here just now, why did it disappear all of a sudden?"

"It's over, it's over, the Buddha statue has disappeared, Amitabha is so good."

"Quick, go find it quickly, don't let anyone take it away."

Inside the main hall, there were actually some nuns shouting.

Just quiet.

Just tired.

All the things just now, at this moment, suddenly because of the disappearance of the Buddha statue, everyone fell into fear.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei hurriedly came to Gu Chen's side, and said, "When the lights went off just now, those foreigners disappeared."

"I know." Gu Chen also had some regrets, he thought that these two foreigners had been under his own observation.

Unexpectedly, the lights in the hall would go out for no reason.

Of course, Gu Chen didn't believe it was because of a circuit failure.

It will not be such a coincidence.

The only thing that could be explained was the other one who disappeared among the three foreign men.

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also hurried over.

The two of them had never experienced such a thing, and it seemed that at the beginning, they thought everything was under control.

But looking at it now, it's not like that at all.

"Now... what should we do now?" Wu Jun was at a loss and asked Gu Chen.

"Block the intersection down the mountain, and then..."

Before Gu Chen finished speaking, he heard the roar of a vehicle engine near the parking lot.

"Oops." Gu Chen seemed to realize something, his eyes were startled, and he looked at Lu Weiwei, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun.

Several people seemed to understand Gu Chen's meaning in seconds.

"He... are they going to run away?" Lu Weiwei was the first to react.

The few people almost didn't discuss, and rushed out of the hall tacitly, and rushed towards the road with vehicle lights.

"Get in the car."

Wu Jun took out the car keys, but Gu Chen grabbed them and said, "I'll drive."

A few people didn't care about who was driving, and jumped into the interview car directly.

Under Gu Chen's fierce operation, the wheels quickly rubbed on the spot for a few laps, and then quickly chased towards the car in front.

Several nuns in long gowns were also chasing after, waving their arms while muttering, probably thinking that Gu Chen was a thief who stole the Buddha statue.

It might be dark and the road is slippery. From the rearview mirror, Gu Chen clearly saw several nuns fell to the ground.

But time was running out, and Gu Chen didn't care too much, so he drove all the way.

On the dark road, after driving for nearly two kilometers, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that the tire pressure display was seriously abnormal, and all four wheels had red alarms.

Gu Chen braked and stopped the car on the side of the road.

"What... what's going on?" Bai Xiaolan was stunned.

"I don't know, I'll go down and have a look." Gu Chen pulled up the handbrake, opened the door, and got out of the car to check the condition of the tires.

Gu Chen turned on the bright flashlight he was carrying and observed, and found that the four tires were pierced with industrial nails in different positions.

On the road, there are still some other claws scattered.

"Junior Brother Gu, what's the situation?" Lu Weiwei closed the car door and came to Gu Chen's side.

Gu Chen swept the lights across the ground and said, "These guys are professionals. They have been splashed with nails on the road, and since our abnormal tire pressure came here, it was at least a few hundred meters away."

"In other words, these people threw claws and nails all over the road in order to prevent tracking?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe what she saw.

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, it's true that our car can't move anymore."

"How could this happen?" Bai Xiaolan couldn't take it anymore, and squatted on the side of the road after getting off the car: "It's over, it's over, it's over, I can't catch up, and the wheel platform was punctured."

Looking at the four flat tires, Bai Xiaolan was in a bad mood: "Four more at once?"

Wu Jun also checked and said: "It seems that we can only spend the night here tonight."

Just as everyone was anxious, another vehicle's lights came from the direction of Ping'an Temple.

Gu Chen immediately stood up and blocked the incoming light with his left hand.

A Land Rover Range Rover off-road vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes and stopped firmly in front of Gu Chen, followed by a Mercedes-Benz G.

Gu Chen saw a group of nuns jumping out of the car.

All of them were holding long sticks, with a hostile attitude towards the visitor.

"Just...they are them, don't let them escape."

"Surround them, thieves, and see where they go."

"Don't let these bastards go."

……

A group of nuns babbling and chattering for a while, divided into two teams and surrounded Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun from both sides.

It could be seen that this group of nuns was very timid, but there was a guy in their hands and there were many people, so they suddenly felt confident.

Under the glare of the light, Gu Chen couldn't see the person on the other side clearly.

It can be said that these nuns have achieved the ultimate suppression with high beam lights...

"I think you've misunderstood..."

Just as Gu Chen was about to speak, he felt a piercing sound coming from his ears.

A sap, while Gu Chen was suppressed by the light, suddenly struck from the side.

"Crack!" Gu Chen dodged his body, caught it firmly with one hand, and then threw it hard, causing the opponent to fall directly to the ground.

"Ouch."

"Still beating people?" Seeing her companion nun being thrown down, the others immediately became timid, and everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Gu Chen threw it lightly, and the wooden stick flew into the air, then Gu Chen caught it with both hands, and bowed his left knee upwards.

"Crack!"

Under the attack of Gu Chen's knee, the wooden stick was directly broken into two pieces.

"Hiss!" Seeing Gu Chen's attack power, the other nuns immediately took a few steps back, and the entire formation retreated.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out from the nun's team, and the other party came up and asked, "Who are you? Why did you steal the Buddha statue from the Peace Temple?"

"I think you misunderstood." Gu Chen threw the broken wooden stick aside casually, and said, "I am Gu Chen, a police officer from the third criminal investigation team of the Furong Sub-bureau, and this is my partner, Lu Weiwei. Bai Xiaolan, Wu Jun, they are reporters and photographers of Jiangnan TV station."

"Police? Reporter?" The nun on the opposite side was taken aback for a moment, and stepped forward cautiously.

And Gu Chen also turned sideways, took a few steps back, and avoided the strong light source of the high beam.

"You are...Master Xuan Jing?" Gu Chen recognized the person, it was Xuan Jing who showed him the way during the day.

"You... aren't you the policeman who had a fast meal at the Peace Temple? But...but why haven't you left yet?"

When Xuan Jing saw Gu Chen, she was in a daze.

Seeing this, the other nuns also hurried forward, whispering to each other.

"Are they really the police?"

"But why are their policemen here?"

"I remember that at dinner, there were indeed a few people in police uniforms eating vegetarian food."

"Could it be that we misunderstood them?"

……

Just as everyone was puzzled, Lu Weiwei also stepped forward and said: "Master Xuanjing, I think you have misunderstood, we are also chasing the thieves who stole the Buddha statue just like you, but these people are too hateful. Industrial claws were strewn all over the road, and all four tires of our vehicle were scrapped."

Seeing that the group of nuns hesitated, Bai Xiaolan immediately took out her press card, and said in front of the group of nuns: "I am Bai Xiaolan, a reporter from Jiangnan City TV Station. We met in the afternoon. You didn't let me I'm doing interviews in the meditation room."

"Yes, yes, yes." Xuan Jing also slapped her head: "You are that little girl, but haven't you already left? Why did you appear in the Buddhist temple again, and why did you drive away? This...you have to Give me an explanation?"

This kind of thing happened one night, not to mention the nuns in the Ping'an Temple were a little confused, even Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were a little at a loss.

Gu Chendao: "We found three foreigners acting suspiciously this afternoon, so we decided to stay and investigate."

Seeing Xuan Jing listening carefully, Gu Chen said again: "But it's a pity that we lost one of the foreigners, and the power outage in Ping'an Temple was caused by this person. The vehicle moved, so I took a few other companions and drove to chase, but was trapped by these industrial claws, and then... you came."
