Ten o'clock in the morning.

Xie Jing home.

In the messy bedroom, Dong Xuebin was also worried. Hearing Xie Hao's cursing and roaring, and seeing Xie Jing still searching around the room relentlessly, Dong Xuebin took a breath and quickly stopped them and asked them to protect the scene. It was useless to say anything now, and they must call the police as soon as possible. When Xie Jing heard this, she immediately put her hand into her pocket to grab the phone. Because she was so excited, she reached into her pocket twice and called a friend of Criminal Investigation Team she knew to report the crime. Then the three of them went downstairs and stayed at the scene to wait for the police to arrive.

The atmosphere was terrible.

Xie Jing held his hair and lowered his face to his chest, "It's all my fault! Why should I borrow Bodhisattva Statue when I'm so good! I..."

Dong Xuebin comforted, "Don't worry, wait until the fingerprints are collected, maybe you can get them back."

"It's impossible!" Xie Jing saw it clearly, with no color on his face. "The clothes still on the ground have a layer of dust on them, which means they were stolen about half a month ago. It's too late to do anything now. Even if the thief didn't escape, Bodhisattva Statue must have sold them. How can I get them back? I... I'm so damned! Auntie, I... How can I..."

"Second sister." Xie Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie has such a good temper, I won't blame you."

Xie Jing covered his face and said, "That's what grandpa gave to auntie. It's not an ordinary antique, it has a different meaning!"

Xie Hao beat his leg angrily, "Damn bastard, now... do you want to tell aunt?"

"Madam Han is not in good health. Let's not talk about it for now, right?" Dong Xuebin breathed out, "Look for clues as soon as possible. If you can't find any clues, don't talk anymore."

Xie Jing put his hands together and raised his head as if praying to the sky.

Not long after, the police arrived. There were six or seven people in police uniforms, as well as a few people from the technical department. As soon as Xie Jing saw it, he immediately rushed towards the criminal policemen leading the team and hurriedly led them upstairs. Don't blame the police for such a large presence. This is a major case. Regardless of whether this is Xie Family's ancestral treasure, the weight of this cultural relic is extraordinary. It costs tens of millions of Bodhisattva Statue from the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It is the national Second-Class Cultural Relic!

Half an hour later, the police gave their conclusion.

There are traces of the safe being dragged on the ground. It has been twenty days since the house was stolen. There are no fingerprints of the criminals. They must be veterans who committed crimes with gloves. Shoe prints and other DNA specimens have not been found. The only clue is a surveillance video of the community twenty days ago. In the picture, a tall and thin man is holding a heavy object wrapped in a cloth bag in his arms. It flashes past the surveillance screen. His face is photographed, but it is not very clear. The criminal police officer leading the team immediately said that he would do his best to solve the case, made a few phone calls and started to follow the clues.

Now that things have happened, there are some things that I can no longer hide.

Downstairs, Xie Jing pursed his lips, gritted his back teeth and called his father Xie Guoliang, "Dad..."

Dong Xuebin and Xie Hao were very close to her, and they heard the laughter on the other end of the phone, "Haha, Xiao Jing, are you going home for dinner tonight?"

"I, I..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Xie Jing's eyes turned red and he told him about Bodhisattva Statue's loss.

Xie Guoliang is Second Brother of the Xie Family. Ministry of Finance is the first deputy minister. He has a very good temper and is not as stern as the boss Xie Guobang. Seriously, he was smiling all day long, but this time, Xie Guoliang took a deep breath after hearing what his daughter said, and scolded her, "Why did you borrow your aunt's Bodhisattva Statue? Ah? It's so big Why didn't you tell me about it? You! Do you know how much Bodhisattva Statue Old Master valued it? It was just to protect this Bodhisattva that Old Master got angry and killed two people. Bodhisattva Statue's Japanese Devils joined the anti-Japanese army, and now, you, let me tell you what you are good at! It's not like you don't know that Bodhisattva Statue is your son!" The Power of Time and Wealth 401

Xie Jing knew he was in trouble, sniffed and shed tears.

Xie Hao couldn't stand this. Even though he and Xie Jing always quarreled, the relationship between siblings was still very deep. He snatched Xie Jing's phone away and said, "Second Uncle, please stop talking about my second sister. What do you think we should do now?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm going to find someone to investigate. By the way, don't tell your aunt about this yet!" Beep beep, the phone was disconnected.

Xie Guoliang felt very heavy in his heart. He knew the position of this Bodhisattva statue in his sister-in-law's heart, so he immediately called his elder brother Xie Guobang to give him some relief, and then called an old friend.

The weight of the second generation Xie Family was obviously much heavier than that of Xie Jing Xie Hao. After a while, another group of people hurriedly came to the community and began to investigate the case. At first Dong Xuebin thought they were people from the municipal bureau or branch, but after contacting him, he realized that these people were actually from the ministry. It has been twenty days. If the thief was not stupid, he would have hidden away in other places by now. At this time, it is obviously the fastest way to have the Ministry take over the case, which saves the time of wrangling with other provinces and cities. As long as the suspect is found, the local Provincial Department Municipal Bureau can be directly ordered to assist and cooperate.

"Xiao Jing, let's go have some food first, you can't do this."

Xie Jing had been standing downstairs for two hours. Seeing that it was already 12 noon, Dong Xuebin dragged her into the car and took her and Xiao Hao to a nearby restaurant.

The food was ready, but Xie Jing didn't move a single chopstick, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Dong Xuebin After looking at it, he couldn't eat anymore and sighed.

Xie Hao clapped his chopsticks angrily, "If I catch that guy! I'll fucking kill him! You bastard! It's not a good idea to steal from anyone and sneak into our house!"

Dong Xuebin said, "Leave it to the people from the ministry. I hope they can find the person as soon as possible."

During the New Year and the New Year, Dong Xuebin consciously set aside a lot of time for B and B. If he didn't need it, he didn't use it. He called up the menu and took a look, and now he has saved more than forty minutes. But this happened twenty days ago. Dong Xuebin couldn't help him even if he wanted to. He could only stare at it, which made him feel very uncomfortable. I owed Xie Jing a favor, and the lost Bodhisattva Statue belonged to Xie Huilan's mother. Dong Xuebin naturally wanted to do something, but it felt really bad to feel that I couldn't use my strength.

One hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

The three of them sat in the restaurant, eating vegetables from time to time, but didn't eat much.

Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, Xie Jing's cell phone rang.

The three of them were waiting for the call. When the phone rang, Xie Jing quickly pressed the answer button, "Hello, Dad!"

The other person paused and said, "I can't find my things. Don't worry about it. I'll tell your aunt."

Xie Jing's face suddenly turned pale, "What's going on? The thief was caught?"

Dong Xuebin and Xie Hao were stunned. They both looked over and listened to the middle-aged voice on the phone, which was not very loud.

Xie Guoliang said in a deep voice, "I asked someone to check, and someone from the regional police recognized him. That person's name is Wang Dongran. He was arrested in a neighboring province ten days ago. He was arrested by the police on suspicion of theft." The Power of Time and Wealth 401

Xie Jing said anxiously, "Have you found it? That thing..."

"He was originally arrested for stealing cash and jewelry. He did not hand over the other items, and the police were unable to investigate. After finding out two hours ago, the local police interrogated Wang Dongran again. He also admitted to committing crimes in our community and stole a safe and two thousand yuan in cash., and then forcibly cut it open at a friend's house, and finally took out Bodhisattva Statue. They didn't know how to do it, so they directly contacted a Japanese businessman on the black market for 100,000 yuan. They don't know what the other party used, and now they have smuggled Bodhisattva Statue to Japan."

Xie Family's methods are not insignificant. He found a lot of things in just a few hours. Bodhisattva Statue has flowed into Japan. Even after contacting all parties, it is certain that the thing is in Tokyo National Museum and was donated to the museum by the Japanese businessman who spent 100,000 yuan to buy it.

Xie Jing breathed quickly and said, "Since Bodhisattva Statue is in Tokyo, can you contact the relevant personnel to recover the stolen goods?"

"Your uncle is already in contact, but there is little hope. You'd better be mentally prepared."

After hanging up the line, Xie Jing said blankly, "My dad said that the thing has arrived at the Tokyo Museum, and there is little hope of getting it back."

Dong Xuebin and Xie Hao were stunned when they heard that the items were shipped overseas.

Xie Hao became angry, "What a fool! You know you can't find it back in the museum? It's stolen property! Ministry of Foreign Affairs Contacting it still doesn't work? Let the embassy send someone!"

Xie Jing covered his face and said nothing.

Dong Xuebin also knew that something was wrong. Leaving the country was even more troublesome than missing. Although Xie Family is powerful, it is only in China. Things involving the two countries are not that simple. Even stolen goods may not be recovered. Are there not many cases of foreign personnel committing crimes in China in recent years? But which repatriation went smoothly? Most of them are still at large. The local police are not cooperating at all, let alone that this is something donated by a Japanese businessman to a Japanese museum. To put it bluntly, Japan has not stolen many cultural relics from the Republic in the past? Why haven't I seen a few of them returned? Same this time!

But the three of them were still waiting with a glimmer of hope.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Xie Guoliang called Xie Jing's mobile phone. "After negotiation, National Museum did not cooperate and refused to return the cultural relics!" He said with a hint of anger in his tone.

Xie Jing bit his lip, "Does that mean you're not coming back?"

"... Well, there's nothing we can do about it here."

"But..."

"Xiao Jing, I'll go to your aunt's place first to keep her company. You can go back later."

"Dad! It's better that I talk to aunt directly..."

"No need to say anything, I'll go first, that's it!"

Xie Hao also heard what they said, and couldn't help but feel so angry that his lungs exploded, "These little Japanese! What's the point of them stealing our things? Why don't they give it back? What the hell! What are they going to do!?"

Dong Xuebin's face also darkened, he was so numb! ro! ~!
