He wrapped the knife very well with black cloth and stuck it to the back of his backpack. After making enough preparations, Tian Chang got up and returned.

When we reached the intersection, we could see Captain Lu and Captain Ma in the distance receiving a reporter. The surrounding police officers were also busy working, and no one noticed this. It was a good opportunity to sneak out.

The reporter over there was still adjusting the tripod when Captain Ma's urging voice came: "Brother Han, are you okay? I'm going to look for clues later."

The reporter replied: "Soon."

Hearing this sentence, Tian Chang stopped immediately. The reporter's voice was very familiar, and he looked in the direction of the three people. The reporter's figure was very familiar. He was one of the two reporters who came to interview the customs personnel on the day of the game in the port area.

, I remember that at that time he also complained about the high-end shooting equipment for railway fans.

"Okay, Captain Ma, Captain Lu, we can start." Reporter Han said again.

"My goal is to find where the items are hidden."

This timbre instantly overlapped with the timbre of the ruler who could freeze objects in the port game. The person who took away the smuggled items was standing in front of the police who were chasing him!

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Tian Chang left quickly. If someone stopped him here, his identity would also be exposed to Korean reporters.

In the port area, Captain Ma, who was practicing interview rhetoric, noticed a figure passing by at the intersection: "Hey, Captain Lu, I think I saw Tian Chang running out, and he was carrying a bag that he didn't have just now."

"Don't worry about it, conduct the interview first, and then quickly go to the welfare agency to track down clues." Captain Lu took the words. He turned his head slightly and just saw Tian Chang's last shadow flashing into the fork in the road.

When the reporter turned around, there was only one staff member wearing railway uniforms at the door.

In the departure area, Tian Chang urgently searched for the address of the welfare institution where the old homeless man lived. Captain Ma was about to go to inquire, which made him have to make an urgent trip there.

Upon arriving at the welfare institution, Tian Chang went straight to the receptionist and asked about the elderly person's situation.

The receptionist slowly turned the page of the record forward, groping with his fingers line by line:

"Oh, the old man you called was with us now. We have contacted his community and asked for mediation. His family will also be here today..."

Tian Chang interrupted directly: "Can I meet the old man now?"

The pony captain from the port area may have already set off. He really can't stand the reception of this slow man.

"Okay, I'll ask the nurse to take you there." The receptionist dialed an internal phone number and explained a few words.

"Okay, you go to the living area."

Just waiting for these words, Tian Chang rushed to the back in a hurry. A female nurse stood up from the nursing station in the living area: "That's you I was talking about just now."

With a straight face, she simply said: "Follow me."

The two walked through the corridor and came to a room. Tian Chang immediately said: "I can go in by myself."

"Heh. You can do it yourself." The nurse responded coldly and got out of the way.

Why is the attitude of this welfare institution so bad? Tian Chang complained in his heart and turned the door handle at the same time.

This is a three-person room, but there is only one old man in it. After staying in the welfare institution for a day, his overall condition looks much better, and he is not as slovenly as when he was homeless.

At this time, he was sinking into a wicker chair, leaning on a place where the sunlight was shining, tilting his head and squinting to study, feeling dozed off.

Hearing the noise at the door, he immediately opened his eyes while still alert.

Tian Chang closed the door at this moment. Behind him, the female caregiver suddenly showed a look of horror. She almost screamed, so she had to cover her mouth with one hand and ran away quickly.

"Young man, it's you." The old man recognized the person who came in and took the initiative to say hello.

"Yes, how do you feel here now?" Tian Chang put down his backpack.

"It's nice here. It would be even better if my two friends were here." The old man looked at the other two empty beds in the room.

"They probably came here before." Tian Chang concealed the truth naturally, "By the way, I have already taken care of that Buddha statue, and nothing strange will happen again."

The old man murmured back: "That's really great."

"Bang!" The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and the female nurse led four men who crowded at the door. They wanted to rush into the room, but were stunned when they saw the harmonious scene between Tian Chang and the old man.

"

It’s a mistake! It’s a mistake!” The breathless voice of the receptionist came from the other end of the corridor, “He is not a family member of the old man, he is a kind-hearted citizen who sent the old man here!”

The female caregiver was surprised: "But I just saw a knife in his bag!"

"You just saw it wrong." Tian Chang scratched his head, pretending to have a misunderstanding, walked to the door and closed it.

When the door closed again, the five people apologized profusely. It turned out that just now, he had been misunderstood by the caregiver as a family member who had abandoned the old man.

After this episode, Tian Chang sat down opposite the old man again and returned to the most critical goal of the trip.

"Old man, I need you to do a favor. I want to conduct further research on the Buddha sculptures and find other harmful things in the city."

Soon the old man swore that when questioned by the police, he would not tell the story of Tian Chang taking away a Buddha statue.

The employer of the smuggling group owned a batch of Buddhist sculptures, and the Korean reporter took away another batch of Buddhist sculptures. In order to continue the investigation following this clue, Tian Chang must keep the Buddhist sculptures in his hands.

After collaborating with the old man to make a confession, Tian Chang left the welfare institution with sincere apologies from the caregiver and receptionist.

When he went out, the receptionist behind him looked at a long thing poked out of his backpack and rubbed his eyes:

"It seems that there is indeed a knife in his backpack."

As soon as Tian Chang walked out of the welfare institution, a police car turned into this street.

In the police car, Captain Ma was complaining: "Why did Han Huai talk so much just now? I asked him directly for more than half an hour. I have never seen him pay so much attention to it even in major criminal cases in the past."

The police officer in charge of driving also took over: "Yes, when I was chatting with the driver of the TV station, I heard that this interview was actually taken over by a Korean reporter. It's really strange."

Captain Ma was even more dissatisfied with the effect of the interview just now, and kept thinking: "Obviously we just sent a notice to the media, and we didn't plan to accept a formal interview. But he came directly, which really caught me off guard.

.I couldn’t find the words smoothly, and I made a few mistakes.”

On the sidewalk, a figure carrying a bag flashed by.
