Chapter 29 Section five

The three of us walked to the workshop with Maya, and found detectives Tanio and Takenashi there too. "Excuse me this morning." Detective Tanio smiled kindly when he saw us.Detective Takenashi also had a smile on his face, with his long head like a Japanese eggplant lowered.They seem to want to redeem their mistakes with kindness. "Have you discovered anything new?" Zhenbi asked, detective Tanio put his hand on his dark forehead and answered with his head down. "No gains so far." "By the way, during yesterday's search operation, didn't you bring the ashes from the stepped kiln back to the police station for testing? Did you get the results?"

Detective Tanio lowered his head. "That's perfectly fine, it's all firewood ashes." "Really—?" Mabei pouted slightly, as if thinking about something. "Detective Tanwei, I have something to ask..." He leaned over to Detective Yanwei and whispered something in the ear, although I couldn't hear what he was saying at all, but Detective Yanwei looked back at Mabi in surprise. "Really, what did you just say?" I asked in a low voice, but he wouldn't tell me.Having known him for many years, I knew it would be useless to press him at such a time, so I had no choice but to obediently give up.

"Then I will leave today. I am really sorry that the abbot of Ci'an disturbed everyone." Detective Tanio was about to urge Detective Takenashi to leave, but suddenly stopped and inspected the room. "Huh? Where did the statue maker with glasses—Mr. Wei Ze go?" No one answered.Detective Tanio looked at our faces one by one, and finally focused on Matsuzuki's face. "Where did Mr. Wei Ze go?" Songyue didn't dare to look at the other party, and only replied, "He's not here." "Absence—when did it happen?" "I don't know, because no one saw him today."

"--what?" The two detectives screamed at the same time, and the Zhuli detective leaned out. "Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing?" "He's probably just out the door." "Go out—" Detective Takenashi was about to say something, but Detective Tanio raised his hand to stop him.Then, he turned his head and looked at Songyue with a distressed face. "—Could you please tell us the details?" Detective Tanio sighed after listening to Matsuzuki's statement and asked a few questions: "Can we look around again?" Song Yue quietly nodded in agreement.
