Chapter 69: 【063】Mysterious Person
On the ring road, the Ninja 650 with light green paint zoomed fast, weaving deftly between the traffic.
After crossing the bridge leading to Banping Mountain and reaching the first fishing village, Wang Longhu stopped his motorcycle and waited by the roadside for the two big monks who hadn’t caught up yet.
After a while, Hong Wentai leisurely arrived driving his electric tricycle. He saw Wang Longhu by the road, jumped off, and touched his bald head with some melancholy: "I wonder if that couple moved away after all these years. If they did, it’ll be a hassle—Dong County’s regular population might only be a hundred thousand, but searching household by household would be like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Master Yan Jie really has nothing better to do, idle to the point of pain, hiding those statues instead of handing them over to the Martial Arts Association. I really don’t understand what he’s thinking, and now he has us over here searching." After parking his tricycle, Hong Wentai stretched his muscles and impatiently complained.
"So what do we do now? Should we start questioning each household in this fishing village? Did Master Yan Jie ever tell you the last name of the couple who moved the Buddha statues or where they live?" Wang Longhu asked the big monk.
"Master Yan Jie isn’t aware of this either since there were many eyes watching him secretly at the time. If he came to Jiuchai Village, it would expose the secret of the statues being hidden here. He only heard that the place where he hid the statues years ago caught fire and the statues were moved away."
Hong Wentai sighed with a constipated expression: "Really making troubles out of nothing, should’ve handed them over to the Martial Arts Association long ago. This old monk is really stubborn like a mule, hiding with the statues in Dong County for so many years without fleeing for safety."
"Maybe Master Yan Jie has his own difficulties. Stop chatting, let’s take action. The sooner we investigate, the sooner we finish." The big monk clapped his hands and headed towards the fishing village.
