I heard that I'm a tomb robber

Chapter 176 The Great Buddha
Although Mao Mao said it in a joking tone, Mei Qian knew that at this time, she or Ning Chi might have already started packing up.

He hurriedly refused, saying that he was very annoying now, and it was a rare opportunity to be alone for a few days, and he didn't want to be disturbed.

At the same time, I promised that once the matter here is over, I will return to Xiadu immediately.If he felt unwell, he would seek medical treatment on the spot, so Maomao let go.

Mei Qian asked her to update the progress of the private investigator's investigation, and then ended the call.

In fact, he was not as irritable as he said.

It's just that you can't leave the city to assist in the investigation for the time being.

Judging from the attitude of the police during the two interviews, it may be reluctant to say that he is a suspect.

He guessed that it might be that the horse police officer had a keen sense of perception and noticed the hostility after he went on a killing spree, so he was particularly concerned about him.

It is estimated that when the injured person wakes up or the case has a clue, this matter will have nothing to do with him.

At that time, I will relax my mind through travel and eliminate my hostility, and it will be no different from before.

Officer Ma will never force him to stay based on his personal feelings, will he?
In contrast, Mei Qian cared more about Zhao Jun's quality.

If the tomb robber's intriguing attitude made him suspicious.

The chance encounter in Yanshi Temple made him vigilant.

It's a pity that the private detective's action is too slow. It's been almost 24 hours, and there is no feedback yet.

Putting away her mobile phone, Mei Qian wandered around the streets of Yanshi again.

Unlike other tourists, he does not read travel guides, nor does he go to busy places.

Walking on foot, no matter where he goes, he will deliberately take a look around the streets and alleys and old neighborhoods.

Finally, when he was tired from walking, he stopped and watched a few old people play chess with great interest.

At this stop, I unknowingly blended into the evening of the sunset on the west mountain.

Feeling hungry, he declined the old man's invitation to join the game and walked towards the nearest night market.

However, Mei Qian's dinner is destined to be rough.

Even though the sun was setting, something unexpected happened to make him feel bad.

And it's quite unbelievable, for example: the big Buddha that I just worshiped in the morning actually collapsed by itself...
-
Mei Qian didn't have difficulty choosing, but she was dazzled by the dazzling array of snacks in the night market.

In the end, I had to sit down at the most popular stall, ask the boss to recommend some, and order a beer.

But his dinner for the past two days is destined to be bumpy.

Just like last night, he had to stop before drinking half a bottle of beer.

The reason was that my hearing was so good that I happened to overhear the conversation at the next table.

"The giant Buddha in Tonghui Temple just collapsed..."

Mei Qian stopped drinking all of a sudden, quickly turned on her phone, and began to search for local news in Yanshi.

After clicking on a link, a certain video was pushed to the top by a netizen who eats melons.

The video does not record the process of the collapse of the Buddha statue. In the picture, there is only a tearful Buddha head with cracked cheeks.

But according to the photographer, this Buddha head is the only part of the Buddha statue that is still intact after the collapse.

Mei Qian frowned, and clicked on the next video.

As the first person said, except for the Buddha head, the entire Great Buddha can almost be described as broken, and countless fragments of reinforced concrete completely covered the lotus platform.

From a distance, it is a ruin.

Fortunately, when the accident happened, Tonghui Temple was close to closing, there were no pilgrims and tourists nearby, and the Buddha statue was not too tall, so there were no casualties.

Mei Qian lowered his head and thought for a while, opened Weibo silently, and read all the photos taken in the afternoon.

After confirming that the Buddha statue was not included in the picture due to taboo when taking the selfie, and the building that appeared in the photo did not have the logo of Tonghui Temple, I was a little relieved.

Fortunately, otherwise, tomorrow's headlines will definitely have a news item titled "Disaster Maker——Mei Qian, incense in the morning, Buddha in the afternoon".

However, even though she was not involved for the time being, the occurrence of such an unbelievable thing had to make Mei Qian think more.

Is this absurd to the point of falling, or is it a warning of something?
In either case, the beer is definitely undrinkable.

He ate up a portion of fried noodles as fast as he could in his life, and left without packing the rest of the seafood, so he went to the boss to pay the bill and leave.

As soon as I got out of the night market, I took a taxi and went straight to Tonghui Temple.

It's not far from Tonghui Temple, and the accident didn't take long, but after Mei Qian got off the car, she still saw a lot of people.

Some believers even burned incense and kowtowed on the spot, chanting words.

Mei Qian went straight into the front mountain gate, but before walking too far, she saw two policemen pulling the isolation belt.Obviously keep people away.

But it was enough to get here. When I raised my eyes, I found that the tall Buddha statue that was still there during the day had disappeared.

I was thinking about whether to sneak in secretly, without getting too close, I can overhear the police talking, as long as I confirm whether the accident is man-made and whether there are any traces of explosion.

Well, I hope that the Buddha was destroyed by someone, so that he can at least save it.

But as soon as he turned around, he was speechless and saw a figure approaching here, so he had to temporarily cancel the plan.

"Why are you here?" Mei Qian frowned and said to the sweaty Zhao Jun.

"Teacher Mei, so you are here." Zhao Jun trotted forward, pulled him away from the cordon, and then began to wipe his sweat: "I happened to be nearby, so I ran over to check when I got the news."

As he spoke, there was a hint of uneasiness on his face, and he carefully lowered his voice: "Do you think it's strange, just after worshiping, the Buddha statue collapsed."

"Why, do you think the Buddha statue was destroyed by you?" Mei Qian squinted at him.

"I was thinking, is there any taboo in the place we went before?" Zhao Jun swallowed, "This is too coincidental."

Well, I think about the same as you.Mei Qian whispered in her heart, but what she said was: "Don't be superstitious, you dare to rob graves, why are you afraid of this?"

"I, this is my first time." Zhao Jun replied weakly, then lowered his voice a bit, and explained: "It is precisely because I have been exposed to antiques since I was a child and heard these stories that I believe in ghosts the most."

Mei Qian thought about it, and was about to continue to probe Zhao Jun's heels, but just as his palm was about to pat him on the shoulder, someone called his name again.

"Mr. Mei?"

Mei Qian sighed, the voice was really familiar, after all, I just came into contact with it this afternoon.

He turned around, smiled at Officer Ma who was walking towards here from the outer mountain gate, and said, "Huh? So it's Officer Ma, and your criminal police are also responsible for maintaining order?"

"I was arrested as a strong man." Officer Ma replied.

As Police Officer Ma in police uniform approached, Mei Qian could clearly feel Zhao Jun's body tightening beside him, and beads of sweat that had just been wiped off his face appeared again.

He glanced around and found that the opponent's calf was trembling.

I can't help raising my eyebrows, is this a guilty conscience?
"Well, Teacher Mei, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Zhao Jun said this in a hurry, then bowed his head and walked around Police Officer Ma, and trotted down the steps.

Police officer Ma glanced at Zhao Jun calmly, then turned to Mei Qian, and asked with a smile, "Is this your friend?"

"A kid I just met, a playboy who doesn't learn all day." Mei Qian lowered his eyes and smiled.

"Really? No wonder I'm afraid of my police uniform." Police officer Ma raised his eyebrows, but he didn't bother about Zhao Jun's identity, but said: "I still want to call you, since I met here, I will be here Let me know."

"Did that man wake up and I can leave freely?" Mei Qian asked.

"The wounded didn't wake up, but the case has been clarified. The murderer is really surprising!" Officer Ma sighed suddenly, with a sob...
