Therefore, all the delicious food that Tang Zheng had was distributed. Zou Hong had nothing left of the food she had prepared for Tang Zheng, and she had to eat her working lunch with the police comrades.

After eating Zou Hong's food and then the food from the Public Security Bureau, Tang Zheng found it a little difficult to swallow.

Tang Zheng was hungry and yawned while drawing.

"Comrade Xiao Tang, the case of your design drawings being stolen has been almost investigated." Zheng Han came in with a file bag.

Tang Zheng looked up at him, but was not too excited. It had been so long since this happened, and if she hadn't seen Mao Liang, she would have forgotten about it and gone to her grandmother's house long ago.

Seeing that Tang Zheng was indifferent, Zheng Han could only bite the bullet and continue, "That Mao Ling has been caught. It was Wei Boen who bribed her. She stole the design and sold it to a clothing factory in Magic City."

Tang Zheng continued with his actions without looking up at Zheng Han.

Zheng Han also understood that Tang Zheng had guessed all this a long time ago.

"Now the Mao family wants to settle this case privately. What do you think?"

Tang Zheng paused with the pencil in his hand, then asked, "How much?"

Zheng Han hesitated for a moment: "You need to discuss this with them."

Tang Zheng put down the pencil in his hand, sat up straight, thought seriously for a while, and then said: "My personal reputation loss and the store's economic loss should be worth at least 100,000 yuan."

After hearing what Tang Zheng said, Zheng Han's face changed: "One hundred thousand?"

Isn't it a bit too much? These days, it's rare for a family to have 10,000 yuan. Tang Zheng asked for so much right away.

Seeing Zheng Han's attitude, Tang Zheng frowned: "Why, do you think I'm asking for too much? If Mao Ling can't afford it, then let her eat steamed bread."

Zheng Han seemed to be hesitant to talk, but Tang Zheng ignored him and lowered his head to start sharpening his pencil.

Zheng Han had a headache. Seeing Tang Zheng like this, it was difficult to talk to him. This matter was a bit tricky.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't know that Mao Ling's elder brother is an officer in the army and has won second-class merit. If this kind of thing gets out..."

Tang Zheng frowned: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Zheng Han: "..."

Tang Zheng reacted: "Oh, it has something to do with you."

Zheng Han was determined: "Her elder brother is my comrade-in-arms."

Tang Zheng nodded, still not wanting to say more.

She would not let Mao Ling go easily just for Zheng Han's sake.

For a moment, Zheng Han really didn't know what to say and could only go out to make a phone call.

As soon as Zheng Han left, Tang Zheng was no longer in the mood to work on the design drawings.

That phoenix crown is worth so much money, we must find a way to get it back as soon as possible.

So Tang Zheng spoke to everyone in the crew, "Think carefully, did you encounter any strange people during filming? Did you encounter any strange people with shifty eyes?"

Everyone thought about it carefully, but basically had no impression of it.

At this time, Bai Rui said seriously: "I saw two deaf-mutes. They looked smart, but sometimes it was very difficult to communicate with them."

Fan Weiwei also remembered: "Those two people are a bit strange. You say they are deaf, right? Sometimes they react very quickly to whatever you say, but sometimes they seem to be unresponsive and don't understand anything even after you shout and gesture at them for a long time."

Tang Zheng frowned: "How could a deaf-mute get together with you guys?"

Director Shao said listlessly, "I needed two people who could help out and act as extras. After they signed up and joined the crew, I found out that they were deaf-mute. They were dressed in rags, and it must have been hard for them, so I kept them."

Speaking of deaf-mutes, Tang Zheng thought of the two deaf-mutes he met when he went to the museum with Shi Molin a few days ago.

The clothes those two people wore that day were clean and tidy, and the material of the clothes was not ordinary coarse cloth.

Something flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes, and he quickly drew two profiles of the deaf-mute man, because she only saw the profile and just glanced at it.

Tang Zheng asked someone to show the two portraits to a few people.

Fan Weiwei recognized them immediately: "Yes, those are the two people. One of them has a mole at the corner of his mouth. I remember it clearly."

Therefore, the case made progress. Through everyone's detailed description, Tang Zheng made the portrait more realistic.

With these two portraits, military and police investigations will be easier.

Tang Zheng also reminded the public security comrades: "Pay more attention to the border. They stole things and dare not sell them in China. They may smuggle them abroad."

Soon, the two men were caught and the things were found.

but……

The originally luxurious and majestic phoenix crown has been completely changed.

The phoenix coronet was too heavy and too big, and would easily attract attention. After discussing it, the two thieves decided to remove all the jewels from the coronet so that it would be easier to resell.

As for the phoenix crown, which was bare and unrecognizable without the jewels, it was thrown into the wilderness.

Fortunately, the weather was good and it didn't rain these two days, otherwise the bare phoenix crown would be completely ruined by the water.

Although the person was found and the things were recovered, the result is still not optimistic.

Everyone gathered around the horrific looking phoenix crown, their faces heavy.

Seeing that Tang Zheng was about to cry, Xiao Beiqi quickly comforted him: "Wife, don't be sad, I will find a way."

Tang Zheng looked at Zheng Weixian, who had not recovered yet and was still on duty despite being ill. "Uncle Zheng, how many years can I be sentenced to in this situation?"

Zheng Weixian: “…It’s hard to say.”

"If we find someone to replace all the jewels that were removed, it probably won't be a big deal, right?"

The person who spoke was sent by the elder.

Tang Zheng had previously called Mr. Yuan Lao and said that he was afraid for his life, so Mr. Yuan Lao sent someone over, but the person never showed up.

Hu Haitian, who had previously slandered Tang Zheng for putting Zheng first, has escaped and was captured by Mr. Yuanlao's people.

Tang Zheng pointed at the damaged part of the Phoenix Coronet: "It's broken like this, can it still be repaired?"

The elder gentleman's man spoke up: "There is a very famous craftsman in the Magic City. I heard that when he was young, he repaired jewelry for nobles in the palace. However, he is old and a little confused. He has stopped doing this business a long time ago. I don't know if he can continue."

Tang Zheng sighed listlessly: "We have to give it a try to see if it works."

Because the items were recovered, Tang Zheng and the crew were temporarily released on bail and regained their freedom.

Tang Zheng returned to the Tang family. The Tang family was very happy to see her come out safely. They specially prepared a lot of delicious food. Everyone gathered together to talk and laugh. Tang Zheng looked normal, but she was actually under a lot of pressure.

Although the Phoenix Coronet was recovered, it was severely damaged and she had to go to the Magic City in person. If the Phoenix Coronet could not be restored to its original state, she would either face imprisonment or huge compensation.

At night, when the children were asleep, Xiao Beiqi saw Tang Zheng's worried look and comforted him, "The culprit has been caught, and the mastermind behind them is Wang Yingying. Even if the Phoenix Coronet cannot be repaired, it has nothing to do with you."

The only one who could face jail time or huge compensation is Wang Yingying.

Tang Zheng was a little surprised after hearing this: "Wang Yingying, how could she be related to her?"
