After Xie Yunzhe left, Yu Nianzhao put away her smile and turned to ask, "Mr. Zhang, was the sculpture in the box he was holding a Guanyin statue?"
"Yes, Mr. Xie is a regular customer here, frequently coming to buy Guanyin statues. But strangely, he previously had a perfectly good Guanyin statue, and recently, for some unknown reason, he has been asking me to carve another one to be sent to the An Nan Royal Mansion every so often. Today, he even shortened the time, demanding one every ten days. No matter how many there are, he wouldn't place Guanyin statues throughout the entire Buddha hall, would he?"
Mr. Zhang scratched his head suspiciously, also finding it strange.
"Were the materials for the Guanyin statue provided by him or were they yours?"
