Chapter 249: How did the darts get away?

"You mean you were on the boat that day and someone kidnapped the Jade Buddha?"

After leaving the Xiao Mansion, Huang Tinghui walked by the river with Li Zisong, Li Zisong, Li Dingguo and the second son of the Xiao family. They continued to discuss the loss of the Jade Buddha.

Since this matter was of great importance, the Xiao family went through many ways to suppress this matter.

There is not much time left for them, if they cannot retrieve the Jade Buddha and send it to the palace before the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Then the guilt is really great!

"On the lake that day, we chose to go by water. Compared with the land route, the water route is faster."

"But we didn't expect that the cook we trusted the most would drugged our meals."

"The boat just floated in the lake, and the Jade Buddha and several other boxes of items disappeared without a trace."

"Later, Master Xiao also searched for the merchant ships that were on the lake that day, but there were so many merchant ships coming and going that it was impossible to find out which merchant ship transported those boxes of items!"

Li Dingguo sighed and said to Huang Tinghui.

"The one who kidnapped the Jade Buddha on the lake also cooperated with the cook to stun you!"

"I think they must have premeditated and planned it!" Huang Tinghui said softly.

Hearing Huang Tinghui's words, Li Zisong said helplessly, "Senior brother, if you can rob several big boxes without anyone noticing, it must be premeditated and planned!"

Li Zisong didn't understand the profound meaning of Huang Tinghui's words, so he spoke to Huang Tinghui.

"No, that's not what I meant!"

"My guess is that they should know that the escort sent by the Tiger Guard Agency is the Jade Buddha!"

"That's why they devised a plan to steal the Jade Buddha away quietly." Huang Tinghui said to everyone with a smile.

If the dart was accidentally stolen, finding the dart would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

And if it was premeditated and planned, then by following the clues, it might be possible to find this escort.

Therefore, Huang Tinghui has been confirming one thing. Was this escort designed and premeditated to be robbed, or was it just an accident?

When Huang Tinghui said this, everyone was shocked.

It seemed that some thoughts became clear in an instant.

"Mr. Xiao, how many people know that this escort is transporting the real goods?"

Huang Tinghui looked at the second young master of the Xiao family and asked.

"Except for my father, me, my second uncle, and my brother-in-law, no one else knows about this matter. Even the head of the Tiger Guard Escort doesn't know about it!" The second son of the Xiao family told Huang Tinghui the truth.

"That's true. After the bodyguard knew about this, he was also furious with the head of the Xiao family!"

"He said that if he knew that the escort he was taking was a jade Buddha destined for the capital to celebrate the birthday of the current Empress Dowager, he would never have taken the escort!"

"After all, this escort has been robbed. If it is really lost, it will be a matter of losing one's head."

Li Dingguo also echoed.

After hearing what Li Dingguo and the second son of the Xiao family said, Huang Tinghui nodded.

At this time, he was not sure whether the loss of the Jade Buddha was really related to someone familiar with the situation.

He still needs to wait until the people from the Huwei Escort Agency come back from the cook's house to see why the cook, who has always been loyal to the Escort Agency, made such a vote.

However, more and more circumstances show that Huwei Escort Agency's dart throwing is definitely not that simple.

"There is still one month left before the Empress Dowager's birthday. If we cannot find the Jade Buddha within seven days, the Jade Buddha will not be transported to the capital before the Empress Dowager's birthday!"

"At that time, the Emperor was so angry that both the Xiao family and the Tiger Guard Escort Agency were probably in danger of being destroyed!"

Li Zirong sighed on the side. As a military general, he really couldn't think of any way to find the lost Jade Buddha within seven days.

It really happened so suddenly that people felt caught off guard.

"Just do your best!"

"Master Xiao, go and look for the merchant ship that docked at the dock that day!"

"Record the situation of the ship owner. Those people who robbed the Jade Buddha must be docking!"

"The person who robbed the Jade Buddha can follow the clues from here!"

"If the feedback from other aspects is combined, there may be a glimmer of hope!" Huang Tinghui said to the second son of the Xiao family.

This matter is related to the lives of the Xiao family. Of course, the second son of the Xiao family does not dare to be careless in the slightest.

He agreed on the spot.

"Dingguo, once the people from the escort agency come back, you must tell me as soon as possible!"

"I want to know why the cook suddenly betrayed you!"

Huang Tinghui looked at Li Dingguo again and said.

After hearing Huang Tinghui's instructions, Li Dingguo nodded and said nothing more.

After everyone left, Li Zisong did not follow the others. He followed Huang Tinghui all the time.

"Senior brother, are you sure?" It can be seen that Li Zisong is quite concerned about the Xiao family's affairs.

"I dare not say whether I am sure or not. I can only do my best and obey fate!" Huang Tinghui shook his head, "Zisong, why are you so concerned about the Xiao family's affairs?"

"When the pirates besieged the city, I promised my husband that I would marry his daughter to the second son of the Xiao family!"

"Now that the name cards have been exchanged, the matter between the second son of the Xiao family and his daughter will be settled in a month!"

"Who knew that if such an incident happened and the whole Xiao family could not escape this disaster, then wouldn't the husband's daughter become a widow before she was married?"

"If sir knew about this, he would have to skin me!"

"Besides, although this matter has little to do with Dingguo, it will definitely involve Dingguo!"

"So I have to pay attention to this matter!"

Li Zisong said with a bitter look on his face.

Although he and Mr. Xu Wei often quarreled, if something really happened, he would not dare to face Mr. Xu Wei.

"A car has its own path to the mountain, and a boat has its own path to the bridge!"

"As long as we can find a clue, we should be able to follow the clue!"

"There is no movement from those people right now. This is precisely because they know the importance of the Emerald Buddha!"

"That also means that the Jade Buddha is now hidden in a very safe place!"

"As long as we can catch the person who designed all this, we will naturally find the Jade Buddha!"

Huang Tinghui patted Li Zisong on the shoulder and comforted Li Zisong.

Judging from all the current signs, the person who designed all this should know that the cargo transported by the Huwei Escort Agency is the Jade Buddha.

And why would he do this?

How did he know this top secret of the Xiao family and calmly design all this?

This is what Huang Tinghui wants to know most at this time.
