Qiuxi told everyone that the case of Guanyin's theft had already been slightly discussed, and according to Li Yiting's suggestion and Qiuxi's own investigation, Zhang Jin of Yuancun had enough time and motivation to commit the crime.

Zhang Jin did fall and injured his left leg, but it did not affect his operation of the automatic business vehicle, except for the family said that he was sick in bed for more than a month, in fact, no one can prove that he did not leave.

Qiu Xi carefully analyzed the tire ruts of Zhang Jin's car, which appeared in at least several places, one near his home, another in the school playground, and one just near the Guanyin Temple.

There are not many vehicles in the countryside, and there are even fewer commercial vehicles of this off-road type, so the rutting characteristics are very obvious, and there is almost no need for too much screening.

After confirming Zhang Jin's suspicion, another question was placed in front of Qiu Xi, this person can drive a car, but the theft itself may not be caught, so who are the people in his gang?

In order to avoid startling the snake, Qiuxi planned to put a long line to catch a big fish, staring at Zhang Jin's every move, and then following the vine to catch the entire theft gang.

Dumb is the target of his next major investigation, although communication is not a small problem, but Qiuxi is not a vegetarian, he has studied sign language for a while, even if it is an amateur level, at least understand the principle of body language.

He once tried to talk to the dumb man briefly, just on the way to the mountain, but it was clear that the dumb man didn't buy it, and the two made random comparisons with each other, and the dumb man shook his head in confusion, and then walked away.

Qiu Xi was even more depressed, this dumb man was more amateur than him, not only did his body movements not be in place, but he also had very obvious gesture mistakes.

Fortunately, Qiu Xi even guessed and learned some information: the dumb man wants to go into the mountains to practice, don't disturb him.

Qiuxi didn't want to rush it, so the two of them compared for a few minutes, and then they went their separate ways.

Everyone praised Qiuxi for his high efficiency in solving the case, but this time Qiuxi was no longer modest, after all, facts speak louder than words.

Li Tian warmly invited Qiuxi to her home as a guest, Qiuxi politely declined, she saw that Qiuxi was a little shy, so she was no longer reluctant.

When several people returned home, Li Yiting heard his father mention that in order to have Guanyin to worship during the New Year, the village decided to carve another statue of Guanyin temporarily.

The new Guanyin statue has no historical date, nor is it a gilded bronze statue, but is carved from the roots of the locally produced precious wood - yew (a national first-class protected plant), and the chief knife naturally selected Li Qiumao, the most famous carpenter in Luoshui Village.

In fact, this work has been planned since the day Li Qiwen entered the ground, and the implementation time is only two days, which can be described as a tight time.

The timber was ready-made, and it was sawn to the right size by the people who were sent to the funeral on the same day, and it was ready to be brought back to Li Village as soon as possible, and the fifth uncle, Li Qiumao, raised objections.

He said that it is best to complete the work in the mountains so that there are no distractions to ensure that the work can be completed smoothly before the first day of the Lunar New Year.

When Li Qiumao speaks of the mountains, he refers to his own woodland, which is about five miles away from Li Village. There is an "underground factory" that he built himself, and many of the delicate carpentry work is done here.

Li Qiumao has a nickname, called "Wood Idiot", which can be regarded as a compliment.

After receiving this task, the villagers quickly sent the timber to the factory, and Li Qiumao asked his son Li Fuyu to bring a message to the family, so he settled down in the mountain factory and raced against time to start work.
