Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 574
"Everyone, please allow me to announce to everyone here that today the Wada family decided to donate the magical artifacts that have been handed down for many years and have mysterious abilities to Shengyuan Temple..." Wada Nobuo began to speak again, but after what happened just now, Everyone was a little absent-minded, and the atmosphere was far less solemn than the first time.

"Now, let us witness this historic moment together!" Nobuo Wada couldn't care less. After finishing his speech in a hurry, he lifted the red cloth covering the display cabinet vigorously, and once again showed the guests and reporters the Wada home. magic weapon.

At the same time that Nobuo Wada was uncovering the red cloth, the guns, cannons and cameras in the hands of the reporters all aimed at the display cabinet in unison, wanting to take pictures of the most eye-catching side of the magic weapon.

However, when the red cloth was lifted, everyone was immediately dumbfounded.There are no magical artifacts on the display cabinet at all. Under the light of several spotlights, there are only a small pile of shards with verdigris. The copper ruyi that everyone saw before has disappeared without a trace!
"Look, everyone, this is the method of the Wada family..." At first, Nobuo Wada proudly introduced the magic weapon to the camera, but he soon realized that everyone's expressions were wrong, so he quickly glanced at the display cabinet, and immediately Shocked and dumbfounded.

Wada Nobuo even glanced at the back of the showcase subconsciously, and then asked loudly: "Where is the magic weapon, where did the magic weapon go?"

However, no one could answer this question, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all with expressions of seeing a ghost.

At this moment, a photojournalist first came to his senses and frantically pressed the shutter on the display cabinet.His actions also reminded other reporters that everyone did not want to miss this big news, taking pictures or taking pictures.After all, the news that the Hetian family donated the magic weapon to the temple is far less attractive than the mysterious disappearance of the magic weapon in front of everyone!
Now Nobuo Wada was in a hurry, and quickly opened his arms to block the display cabinet and shouted: "No photos, no photos!"

However, those reporters couldn't control so much. Instead, they also photographed Nobuo Wada's embarrassed appearance. This is the best news material, and as long as they are qualified reporters, they will not miss it.

Hasegawa Yuo also rushed out to help, standing in front of the president and shouting loudly: "Stop filming, this is a case of theft! Please keep calm and don't give criminals any chance!"

What Hasegawa Yuo said made sense, at least all the guests they invited quieted down.After all, the guests had all prayed to the magic weapon individually. Strictly speaking, anyone could commit the crime. If you behaved too differently at this time, it would be bad if you were mistaken for a thief.

Nobuo Wada also came back to his senses, nodded again and again: "That's right, someone must have stolen the magic weapon of the Wada family, please don't leave in a hurry, and cooperate with us to answer a few questions!"

Now of course no one will leave early, and they all stay quietly in the hall, waiting for Wada Nobuo to ask questions.

The first person Wada Nobuo wanted to ask was Zhao Lei. He hypocritically smirked and said, "Mr. Zhao, you were the first to come in to pray for blessings, so let's start with you."

"As expected!" Zhao Lei sneered secretly in his heart, but on the surface he nodded very seriously and said: "It should be, please ask."

Nobuo Wada said in a deep voice, "When you came in to pray, did you see the magical artifact?"

Zhao Lei frowned and said, "Isn't the display cabinet covered with a red cloth? How could I see it?"

Nobuo Wada was stunned for a moment, and found that he couldn't refute Zhao Lei's words at all, so he could only continue to ask him: "Then where were you after the censer was cracked just now?"

"After the censer was cracked, the hall was full of incense ashes. I ran out in a hurry and took Miss Yingzi out." Zhao Lei said calmly: "By the way, we were the first to leave the hall. Didn’t come out, the monks in the temple can testify to that.”

Knowing that Zhao Lei would not lie about this kind of matter, Wada Nobuo didn't know how to ask him for a moment.Although Zhao Lei was considered the most suspect, judging from his answer, he was the one who had the least time to commit the crime.

Seeing Nobuo Wada's dumbfounded, Zhao Lei was secretly amused, and deliberately asked him in a deep voice, "Mr. Wada, do you have any other questions?"

"Uh...not for the time being." Nobuo Wada nodded in astonishment, but quickly said to Zhao Lei: "In order not to cause any misunderstanding, can I ask Mr. Zhao to go there for inspection by a metal detector and an X-ray machine?"

As soon as Wada Nobuo said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other guests.We must know that everyone is a person of status. If they all have to undergo inspections like Zhao Lei, they will clearly be suspected on the spot. Where will everyone put their faces?

However, Zhao Lei didn't seem to have thought of this, and nodded without hesitation: "No problem, where is the X-ray machine? I'm going to get checked now!"

Of course, Hasegawa Xiong understood what the boss meant, and immediately ran over to take Zhao Lei for an inspection.The two came back soon, and Hasegawa Yuu shook his head at Wada Nobuo, saying that he did not find any problems.

Now Nobuo Wada was even more surprised, if it wasn't for Zhao Lei who stole the magic weapon, who would it be?If it was really one of the other guests, it would be even worse.

Now that Nobuo Wada has no other choice, he can only bite the bullet and ask the second guest who prayed for blessings, and then ask that person to go for the examination as well.

After all, Zhao Lei has already started. If others don't do this, their intentions against him would be too obvious.Right now, Hotan Co., Ltd. still has to rely on Xianhu Company, so it dares not to make the relationship with Zhao Lei stiff.

Although the guests were all dissatisfied with Wada Nobuo's request to accept the X-ray machine examination, none of them refused.After all, this kind of thing happened, and the most important thing is to clear the suspicion.

However, after being checked and confirmed that he was not suspected, the guests did not have a good look at Wada Nobuo.After being examined, an old man in his 70s walked up to Nobuo Wada tremblingly and said, "Mr. Wada, please don't invite me again if there is any big event in your Wada family. I am old and not in good health." , take a few more X-rays, maybe I won’t live until the day when Sachiko gets married!”

The old man's words made Wada Nobuo's face ugly, but he couldn't refute the other party, which made him very angry.

At this time, a guest suddenly realized in a low voice: "When the censer was cracked just now, who was the last one to come out?"

These words were like a flash of lightning in the dark, which made everyone's eyes light up, and all their eyes fell on Wada Nobuo and Hasegawa Yu, showing thoughtful expressions.
