  With this idea in mind, the first plan we chose was to bribe a small-time official with a low rank, and the second plan was to coerce him, resorting to violence and forcing him to comply!

  The third ultimate plan is to open fire, which is almost unrealistic. We would rather fail the mission than do that. It's only when the military wants to hunt us down and we face a death threat that there will be such a confrontation.

  However, on that night when the little rascal went over the wall to find a woman, we blocked his way and got an extremely disappointing message.

  Luo Sansi spoke some Japanese that even he didn't quite understand, and Alyo pretended to translate: "Hand over the Golden Light Buddha to us, and you can get a lot of money, 10 billion Vietnamese dong."

  That little guy's description of a lost look on his face, Ali was stunned on the spot: "He said that Jinguang Fanglan Buddha is missing, and they are also looking for it now!"

  "Ah-ga... Wa-li-wa-lo..." Luo San thought quickly covered it up.

  Arlyo pulled us aside: "I asked about this again, and it's probably true. I remember that it was the night of thirteen days ago, when I was preparing to sleep, I heard a loud noise. At the time, I thought someone had collapsed a mountain or blown up fish, but unexpectedly their camp exploded. Someone stole the Golden Buddha from the armory and detonated explosives on the way out while escaping, and no one caught up with them."

  "It seems so." Tang Jian said with a gloomy face: "My home is in the east of Lin Di, I also heard the sound, and in the next two or three days, someone searched my house, I thought it was catching an escaped prisoner."

  "What did you think?" Zhao Yong suddenly showed a displeased expression, "We came to find you, wanting to gather the latest intelligence. What kind of messy people are you all!"

  Wu Mingkai's face was a bit unbearable: "Losing is better, we'll follow the vine to find it, maybe in the hands of that black brother, directly buying it would be more convenient, no big deal, I'll pay for it."

  Luosansi frowned and said: "If we want to investigate this, then we have to start from the camp, but we don't have any status to go there either."

  He Wen Shu said, "I advise you not to be too optimistic. The Vietnamese are very clever. Who knows, maybe A Liao's words will give us away and they'll figure out we're Chinese."

  We turned back and looked, and indeed, that sly little raccoon dog was watching us from a distance with a suspicious look on its face.

  Too failed!

  Cheng Long was somewhat annoyed: "Otherwise, we can pretend to be international friends, hear about the case and go help them solve it. Then, while solving the case, we can muddy the waters and that's it."

  "This..." Zhao Yong thought for a moment before asking: "Although your words are rough, is there another way?"

  I hastily stood up and said: "This little rascal's name is Quinn, he has a huge amount of gambling debt. We can give him less money and let him say that we are his friends who were invited to help solve the case."

  "Get out of the way!" Da Fei exerted himself to pull down his head: "I can explain it clearly to you, the acting part is all in the performance, whoever believes it is a fool."

  Jiang Yu smiled wryly: "We are criminal detectives, didn't expect that doing a task would still require us to crack a case."

  "Born to crack cases, let's go." Lin Ruoyin was full of energy and walked with a spring in her step.

  Very smoothly, Wu Mingkai gave him three thousand Vietnamese dong in RMB, and Khun nodded his head in agreement.

  On our way to the camp, it was decided that Luo would continue to pretend to be Japanese, while Lin and Jiang, who had traveled to Korea before, could speak a few words of Korean and pretend to be Koreans. We would pretend to be Chinese and Vietnamese, going in with these scattered identities.

  The next day we paid a formal visit, I don't know if Kun has betrayed us, but he was extremely enthusiastic in introducing us.

  We learned that the squadron leader in charge here is called Wu Mengtuan, the instructor is Chen Deliang, Kunen is a company commander-level figure, and there are two people with the same level as him, namely Ruan Dong and Zheng Wenlou.

  "A warm welcome from Team Hand-in-Hand: 'Thank you for your help, please let us help them crack the case as soon as possible, thank you very much!'"

  These words were naturally told by Alio, and as for Luo Sansi, that old ghost took away Zhao Yong's big brother Fan, standing in the middle wearing a suit without saying a word. Jiang Yi and Lin Ruoyin held hands and looked around, speaking Korean and laughing, which made those little soldiers' eyes stare straight.

  Then, under the leadership of Wu Mengtuan and Kunen, we made a detailed and close visit to the camp and the scene where the Golden Light Sutra was lost.

  As I said before, after entering the monitoring room, there is another anti-theft door inside, which is the armory.

  What we didn't expect was that after entering the armory, under the sixth tile on the left side of our feet, there was another hidden underground door. Is that where the Golden Light Buddha is hiding?

  "Just then, as we were about to enter, Instructor Chen Deliang blocked our way, excitedly saying something to Wu Mengtuan, and the two of them got into a heated argument."

  After Aryo's explanation, we learned that Chen De Liang was not very welcoming to us. He said this is a military secret and cannot be leaked out. Wu Meng Tuan expressed that the place has already been exposed and is no longer a safe hiding place. In the future, searching for the Golden Buddha will also require changing locations. Moreover, the thief must be one of the five of them. The police can't investigate it now, and we all have suspicions. Why not let international friends help?

  Is it one of the five?

  This sentence caught our attention, after Wu Meng's team persuaded Chen De-liang, we inquired about this matter.

  Wu Mengtuan smiled but didn't speak, beckoning Chen Deliang, Zheng Wenlou, Kunen, and Ruan Dong - a total of five people. First, they lifted up the wooden structure under the corner of the wall, and with a push of the ceramic tile, it slid in surprisingly smoothly. Immediately after that, a double-faced stone door with five plug holes was revealed!

  At this time, the five people each took out a key and inserted them into the lock at the same time. Following the sequence, Zheng Wenhao, Kunen, and Ruan Dong simultaneously turned left, while Wu Mengtuan and Chen Deliang simultaneously turned right - click!

  The double-faced stone gate opened, and then we saw a deep tunnel under the stone steps.

  When Wu Meng's team led the way in, Lin Ruoyin pinched me and leaned over to whisper: "Have you read 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'?"

  "Hmm, this is a bit like the West Lake Dungeon of the Mei Zhuang Four Friends." It's so similar that it gives me chills, I don't know if the craftsmen who designed the secret cave are fans of our Jin Yong.

  Jiang Yi on the side couldn't help but joke: "I don't know which of these five people is the cunning and ruthless Black and White Impermanence."

  Few words, we followed the team into it, of course, also want to leave Luo Sansi, Cheng Long, as well as Zhan Da Fei, Sun Li Cheng, Sun Li Wei, be careful with everything, don't get caught off guard.

  The cave is not as big as I imagined, it's just a small place of about sixty square meters. The rocks inside are very beautiful, extremely beautiful, and under the refraction of the light, some of them look like natural crystal walls with seven colors, the colors are extremely bright and distinct, can be described as breathtakingly beautiful.

  "If it were my house with walls paved like this, it would be perfect."

  In this place more beautiful than a fairyland, Wu Mengtuan introduced: "Lüxi A'luo ancient cave is worthy of being called a world-class wonder. This place is also known as the 'Dream Fantasy Footprint Journey', but in our eyes, it's just to gather the golden light and blue Buddha here, protect this land and defend the people."

  We saw him speaking with a stern expression, and there was something unpalatable in our hearts. Is that our national treasure or what?

  Forget it, let's start investigating the case.

  At this unknown number of hands crime scene, we didn't find any useful evidence, only to learn that the arsenal was missing a pack of explosives, presumably the thief had taken it to cut off pursuit and made off with it.

  Next, we exit the cave and have separate conversations with these five people. My task is Ruan Dong and Zheng Wenlou, Zhao Yong's task is Wu Mengtuan and Chen Deliang, as for Kun En who is not very suspicious, let's just forget about him for now, we can find him anytime.

  Under Arlo's accompaniment, I first talked to Ruan Dong. At the beginning, he was not cooperative, but after Lin Ruoyin coquettishly pouted, he told everything.

  "In terms of the key, Wu Mengtuan and Chen Deliang are the most suspicious. Only these two had control over five keys during the initial period of the first two years. However, when it comes to character, we distrust Qunen the most. He's a compulsive gambler and is the person we dislike the most." Ruan Dong commented.

  Arlo explained that Vietnam was divided into South and North Vietnam, the two sides had fought before, and their relationship wasn't great.

  "Ask him about his impression of Zheng Wenlong." I had Aryo relay it for me.

  Ruan Dong waved his hand after listening to the translation: "Zheng Wenglou's family is a wealthy one, whatever China has, they have it too."

  This news made me frown, with money at home, why join the army and be so remote, it's very suspicious. Of course, I'm asking him now, naturally I'll take his words seriously first. I asked him to talk about his views on Jin Guangbiao Lan Fo.

  Ruan Dong sneered and curled his lips: "That day, I led the team to chase after that person, almost didn't let him get blown up, oh ~ by the way, that person's body was abnormally soft!"

  "Soft, how is it?" We asked in a hurry.

  Ruan Dong was like he had finally found a listener, and he leaned in front of me with a serious face to describe: "I chased after that person, she was very small, not wearing clothes, seemed like a woman, she could swing around on the trees like a monkey, her waist and legs were like this!"

  As he said that, he even made a gesture to me, lying on the ground, his waist lifted at an angle of more than 90 degrees. He said it was like when she was wandering in the branches, her waist was so soft that it was frightening, just like the International Yoga Competition.

  I asked him how it was like, wasn't he uncertain?

  Ruan Dong shook his head and said that at the time it was nighttime, he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't see the person's face either. If it weren't for this, he would have been able to catch up with the person in terms of speed, but then maybe he would have been blown up too.

  Finally, I asked him again, you said this point, others don't believe it or what, why when talking about this point, the attitude is different from talking about other things.

  Ruan Dong nodded in agreement, saying that no one here believed his story about the wild man, and everyone thought he was hallucinating from the explosion.

  After all, that person still has a golden Buddha on his body, a pure gold ingot over a foot high, at least thirty or fifty kilograms of goods, how could it be...
