The staff assigned by Feng Xuan led Zhang Zian to his room, handed him the room card, and left.
After Zhang Zian entered the room, he looked around.
Although it was a standard double room, the interior area was not very large. The view outside the window was quite wide, and after opening the curtains, he could see the Berlin streets in the twilight.
The Dog Warrior crew was not the kind of crew that had a lot of money, and the hotel they booked was not a five-star one. Besides, the entire Berlin was overcrowded, so it was good enough to book a hotel. He could not ask for too much.
Zhang Zian hung the do not disturb sign outside, took out his phone, and released the elfins one by one.
"Quack!" Richard wanted to bark as soon as it appeared, but Zhang Zian threw a pillow at its face and slapped it onto the bed.
"Don't bark so loudly, as if you're afraid that people can't hear you," he warned.
Xinghai was a little scared when it first appeared, but after shaking its head and realizing that there was no one else in the room, it immediately happily ran around the room to explore.
Fina yawned, walked to the window, and looked out. "This is Germany?"
"Yes, that's right," Zhang Zian answered as he opened his suitcase and took things out.
"It looks very ordinary," Fina said with slight disappointment. "Where is the town that contains 72,000 tons of diamonds?"
"Well …" He forced a smile. "Don't worry, we'll go when we have time."
Fina stared at him suspiciously, and just as it was about to ask, he quickly interrupted. "Right, there is something very strange that I need to discuss with you."
"Meow meow meow! What is it? Did you wake up and find that your balls are gone? "Snowy Lionet said, spitting saliva." Don't worry, you have no use for them anyway! "
Zhang Zian was speechless. Can't you talk properly?
Old Time Tea stretched and noticed that Zhang Zian did not seem to be joking, so it asked, "Zian, what is it? Could it be that something unexpected happened to Pi in the shop? "
"Well, it was an accident, but it has nothing to do with Pi. Something went missing in our shop," Zhang Zian explained. He opened the box of the electric kettle, filled it with water, and plugged it in to boil the water.
"What!"
Fei Na was originally squatting by the window and looking at the night. Hearing this, he immediately raised the corner of his eyes, and his eyes were full of frost. "My Divine Palace was stolen? Who dares to provoke me? "
"That's the problem. Until now, we still don't know if it was stolen or not," Zhang Zian said.
Snowy Lionet said impatiently, "If you want to say something, just say it. Don't be so hesitant. You're even worse than a woman!"
"What's the lost item?" Old Time Tea asked.
Zhang Zian looked around at everyone and said seriously, "It's the Holy Cat statue at the entrance of the shop."
"Quack? That thing is so heavy and not worth much. Who would be so bored as to steal it? "Richard exclaimed in deep surprise.
Zhang Zian roughly told him what had happened.
At first, the elves were still a little noisy, interrupting from time to time, but after the speech, everyone fell into deep thought.
"Zian, are you saying that the statue disappeared?" Old Time Tea confirmed.
He nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I said it's very strange that the statue disappeared without a trace. Even Warsky wasn't alerted."
"What the hell is going on? It's just a statue. Look at you all acting so strangely … "Famous asked curiously.
When Snowy gave the Holy Cat statue to Zhang Zian as an opening gift, Famous had not yet arrived at the pet shop. It only had a superficial understanding of the statue's origin.
"That statue is not an ordinary thing. In fact, it's not the real Holy Cat statue," Zhang Zian explained to it. "The real Holy Cat in ancient Egypt is Bastet. There are many statues and murals about Bastet that have been passed down, but only that statue has a nose ring."
"Nose ring?" Famous tried hard to recall. "I didn't notice that the statue was wearing a nose ring."
"That's because the nose ring has been cut in half by me," Old Time Tea said. Old Time Tea pondered, "By the way, Zian, is the broken nose ring still in the pet shop?"
As soon as this was said, Fina's eyes immediately widened. "Don't tell me you still have the nose ring?"
"How is that possible!" Zhang Zian felt wronged and defended himself. "I know that the nose ring is an evil thing. How could I keep it with me? I've already disposed of it."
"How did you dispose of it? Threw it away? "Fina asked again.
Zhang Zian scratched his head in embarrassment. "The nose ring is made of gold. It would be a pity to throw it away … In fact, I sent it to the jewelry store for recycling and exchanged it for RMB. It was at the Longfeng jewelry store. Fina, do you remember? The purity of the gold in the nose ring is not very high. It really didn't exchange for much money … "
All the elfins were speechless.
Zhang Zian quickly explained again, "I asked at the time. After the jewelry store recycled the gold, it would be melted and re-made into gold jewelry. No matter how evil the nose ring is, there should be no problem after melting it, right? And that was a long time ago. If there was a problem, why would it wait until now? "
"That's true." Old Time Tea agreed. "If the nose ring is really melted, there should be no problem."
"Wait a minute, I still don't understand," Famous interrupted. "What is evil about the statue and the nose ring? Aren't they just ordinary things? "
Zhang Zian couldn't wait for it to interrupt, so he quickly followed its topic and explained.
According to Fina, the Holy Cat statue should actually be a fake Holy Cat statue, or simply the Evil God statue. It was the product of some ancient Egyptians secretly practicing evil worship out of dissatisfaction with the Pharaoh's rule. Those people used bloody and cruel rituals to torture and kill cats as a sacrifice to the evil Cat God, and the gold nose ring may have been stained with the blood of ancient cats.
Zhang Zian was responsible for explaining to Famous. Fina and Old Time Tea added in one sentence after another. Snowy Lionet and Richard also interrupted from time to time, but finally, Famous understood.
Even though it understood, no one could explain how the statue disappeared out of thin air. Even if the nose ring was evil, it had long been melted into gold water, and the statue itself was just a near-perfect replica.
Famous thought about it and suggested, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
"Tell me about it." Zhang Zian's spirit was lifted. "I gathered everyone together to let everyone brainstorm."
The other elfins stopped talking for the time being and listened carefully.
Famous said, "If I remember correctly, Pi's untitled book should be a record of life, the universe, and everything else, right? Then let's ask Pi to investigate how the statue disappeared last night. What do you think? "
