Who moved my novel?

"Master Dong, please wait for me in the hall, I'll be there soon."

Xiao Li roughly understood the situation, comforted Dong Peng, and went to find his colleagues to find out the situation.

Five minutes later...

"So, Master Dong's apprentice is missing, but there are no signs of fighting in the room, and two antiques and some cash are missing?" Xiao Li's mouth twitched.

"Yes, Brother Li." The new policeman was quite helpless: "Brother Li, although I am new, this... is obviously a theft case."

"Master Dong didn't report the theft?"

"I asked, and he insisted that it was not a theft case." The policeman held his forehead: "If it was a theft case, I would report it to him. I am also afraid that he would report it!"

"Okay, it's okay." Xiao Li sighed: "Leave it to me, I will go with him, and you will tell Brother Wang when you see him later."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Brother Li." The policeman breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, by the way, Brother Wang didn't seem to come today. I don't know what he went to do."

"Then I'll send him a WeChat message." Xiao Li thought about it and added: "Brother Wang probably has a mission. If someone wants to find him, you can say that he just went out, and then call him."

"Okay, Brother Li, don't worry." The policeman nodded knowingly.

"Then I'll leave." Xiao Li nodded, put on his hat and went out.

…

“Thank you for your hard work, Officer Li.” Dong Peng drove the car and drove Xiao Li towards the studio.

In fact, it is no problem to walk this distance, but the weather is cold, so it is definitely more comfortable to drive.

“No, no, no, you should call me Xiao Li.” Xiao Li hurriedly said politely: “Master Dong, I have seen your ability, and I am now your loyal fan.”

“One thing is one thing.”

“No need to be so polite, this is what I should do.” Xiao Li suddenly thought of a question: “By the way, Master Dong, didn’t you do a fortune-telling yourself? Calculate where your apprentice is now.”

“Forget it.” Dong Peng shook his head helplessly: “The fortune-telling says that there is no apprentice in this world! Alas, maybe my skills have declined recently.”

“This…” Xiao Li hesitated.

“What?” Dong Peng also noticed Xiao Li’s hesitation.

“Nothing.” Xiao Li thought of his colleague’s experience and shook his head: “I wonder where he might be.”

“Oh.” Dong Peng nodded, and began to ponder and stopped talking.

It was only about a kilometer away, and it took a few minutes to reach Dong Peng's studio.

"Where does he usually live?" Xiao Li got off the car and looked at Dong Peng's studio.

"He lives in my studio, it's warm there." Dong Peng said as he led Xiao Li inside: "Because he just joined the company, and I didn't have any other employees before, so I haven't had time to prepare a dormitory for him."

"Yeah." Xiao Li nodded: "Your studio environment is really good."

However, Xiao Li did not forget his purpose, and observed the situation while walking inside.

There were no signs of prying on the door lock.

The things in the room were in order.

There were no signs of fighting.

"I heard that some things were lost?" Xiao Li asked, scanning the room.

"Yeah." Dong Peng nodded and pointed to one of the tables: "The antique vase that was placed on the table before is gone."

"And over there." Dong Peng pointed to a corner of the room again, and Xiao Li remembered that there was a pendant there.

"Was there a pendant there?"

"Yes," Dong Peng nodded: "It was an original magic weapon imported from abroad, and the price is about one to two million."

"So expensive?" Xiao Li raised his eyebrows: "Did you lose anything else?"

"A little cash, only a few hundred thousand." Dong Peng shook his head nonchalantly: "These don't matter, the main thing is that my apprentice is missing."

"According to my guess, someone must have wanted to come in and steal something, but was accidentally discovered by my apprentice. In order to protect my property, the apprentice followed the thief all the way and finally encountered danger!"

"That's possible." Xiao Li looked around again: "Master Dong, do you have a surveillance camera in your room?"

"No." Dong Peng shook his head: "It's a rule for us not to install surveillance cameras."

"Yeah." Xiao Li was a little embarrassed.

Without surveillance, the other party's identity information is unknown.

In this case, if you want to find someone, you may have to rely on the technology of the Municipal Bureau, but Dong Peng does not agree to report the theft...

That's right!

Xiao Li suddenly had an idea.

"Master Dong, I actually have a way to help you find your apprentice."

"What method?" Dong Peng said excitedly: "As long as you can find him, I can give you one million! No! Ten million!"

"No need for money, but this method is quite special, I don't know if you are willing." Xiao Li pretended to be hesitant.

"It's okay, whatever method, just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it without hesitation!"

"Master Dong, maybe you don't know us well. If it is missing, it must be our police station that will try to find the person at the beginning." Xiao Li put on an embarrassed expression: "But our police station has low authority and does not have the high-tech of the municipal bureau, so it is really difficult to find."

"In other words, as long as we find someone from the municipal bureau, we can find the person?"

"Eighty percent." Xiao Li made an eight with his hand: "The municipal bureau can send people to check the surveillance of the surrounding businesses, and it should not be difficult to find the 'thief' holding the vase."

"Yes." Dong Peng nodded: "If you want to find the thief, you can find my apprentice."

"Yeah." Xiao Li saw that Dong Peng was on the road, and continued: "But the city bureau may not be willing to take care of the missing report. My idea is that it is better to report the theft and clarify it after someone finds it..."

Xiao Li was about to continue the inducement, but Dong Peng interrupted him.

"As long as the city bureau leader nods, that's enough, right?"

"Ah?" Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"Then can't I just go to their director directly?"

After saying that, Dong Peng ignored Xiao Li who was stunned and picked up the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu. I'm Dong Peng."

"Master Dong!" A man's voice sounded on the other side of the phone: "It's rare to see a visitor, why did Master Dong remember to call me?"

"Mr. Zhu, I remember you work in the Municipal Public Security Bureau, right?"

"That's right." The person on the other end of the phone said with some pretentiousness: "I am not talented, I am the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau!"

"Mr. Zhu, can I ask you a favor? My apprentice is lost. Can you help me check where he went?"

"Looking for someone? It's a trivial matter!" The person on the other end of the phone agreed without thinking: "Well, Master Dong, don't bother looking for it. Leave it all to me. I'll arrange for someone to find it and drive it back to you. !”
