Chapter 2434
Of course, Pei Yu and Yuan Bao cast suspicious eyes on the people in the village.

Yuan Bao stood up and said in a serious voice to the people watching: "If any of you takes that Buddha statue, please hand it over as soon as possible, otherwise you may cause trouble."

People, you look at me and I look at you, but no one takes the initiative to admit it.

Pei Yu keenly noticed that in the crowd, a short and thin man was quietly retreating.

His sharp eyes like a falcon were locked on the man's figure, ready to take action at any time.

Unexpectedly, when the man was about to withdraw from the crowd, his body suddenly stiffened and then fell straight down!
"Ah!" The people around him exclaimed in fright and immediately dispersed.

Yuan Bao and others rushed forward to rescue him, but in an instant, the man had lost all breath.

Another person died, and the panic that enveloped the people's hearts instantly became more intense.

In the deathly silence of the scene, Pei Yu's voice suddenly sounded: "Go to the deceased's home to check to see if the missing Buddha statue is in his home!"

"Yes!"

As the official left, people's hearts were lifted high.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the Yamen came back holding the Buddha statue.

The golden Buddha statue completely destroyed the remaining luck in the hearts of the people.

It really is a Buddha statue!

The murderer turned out to be a Buddha statue!

The common people all looked pale and silent.

The people who didn't believe it at first didn't dare to get closer now, and stayed away with the hair on their backs standing up.

Some people thought of something, turned around and ran away in a hurry.

Not long after, people came back one after another holding their own Buddha statues.

"Master Guan! I also have a Buddha statue at home, please take it away!"

"I have one here too! Take it away quickly!" The people who went home and held the Buddha statues rushed to hand over the Buddha statues that were so hot to their hands to Pei Yu and Jin Xibao.

Jin Xibao frowned, raised his hands, and patiently explained to the people: "Don't panic so much. Not all Buddha statues have problems."

"There is no need to send Buddha statues that have been worshiped at home for more than a year. The evil Buddha statues only appeared in the past few months, so there should be no problems with the previous Buddha statues."

Even so, the common people still regard the Buddha statues in their hands as a hot potato.

Jin Xibao and Pei Yu didn't answer, so they simply placed the Buddha statue on the ground, then turned around and left quickly, for fear of being contaminated by some bad luck.

Yuan Bao and others sighed when they saw the Buddha statues placed all over the floor.

Sure enough, it still brought panic to the people.

Yuan Bao walked between Pei Yu, Jin Xibao and two people, and discussed with them in a low voice: "What to do with these evil Buddha statues? Should they be kept as evidence, or should they be destroyed directly?"

Pei Yu and Jin Xibao were both silent.

After a while, Jin Xibao said: "Keep it as evidence. The Jingzhao Mansion needs complete witnesses and material evidence to finalize the case."

Pei Yu put his hands behind his back and objected: "I think it's better to destroy it. We don't have a way to restrain the evil Buddha. If we keep it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble again."

"In addition, dismantling the Buddha statue in front of the people and revealing the true face of the evil Buddha statue inside will also allow the people to understand the truth more clearly and avoid being too panicked."

Jin Xibao felt it made sense, was convinced, and nodded.

Yuan Bao also nodded, but added: "The evil Buddha cannot be kept, but the evidence must be kept. How about we find a few painters to draw the evil statues hidden in the Buddha statues, and also send the unwrapped Buddha statues back to Beijing. Zhaofu.”

"good idea!"

It's just that they were in such a hurry that they didn't even think of bringing a painter with them. Where could they find a painter at this moment?
After thinking about it, Pei Yu simply looked for it directly among the people in the village.

What a coincidence, there is actually a copy artist among the people in the village!
