MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 9

Killing Fox Fort is not a big place, with a total population of only a few hundred, but even so, Zhou Ziruo was very excited about the real streets full of ancient styles. Both sides of the street are full of shops, and there are also hawkers hawking. Pedestrians come and go, cars and horses come and go, which is much more interesting than the ancient town that Zhou Ziruo went to during his spring outing when he was in college.

Zhou Ziruo was curious about everything, so he had to go to see everything, and the investigation was delayed a lot before Lu Lixiao dragged him into a teahouse by the collar.

If Zhou Ziruo didn't play enough, he deliberately disliked the tea, so Lu Lixiao ignored him and drank his own tea quietly. After a while, Zhou Ziruo leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Who are you waiting for?"

As if answering, the proprietress of the teahouse brought the kettle to refill the water, and recommended by the way: "The pastries in our restaurant are all made from the fruits picked from our own fruit trees. Don't you two brothers try it?"

Zhou Ziruo looked at Lu Lixiao, and was surprised to see a faint smile on Wannian Bingshan's face, "Then let's play two games at will."

The proprietress agreed with a smile, and when she left, Zhou Ziruo asked Lu Lixiao: "Who is the proprietress of this teahouse?" Middle-aged women.

Lu Lixiao took a sip of tea, and said in a leisurely manner: "I heard from the discussion of the servants in the mansion yesterday that Mrs. Han once arranged for Mrs. Hu to have a personal servant girl when she entered the mansion. Not long after Mrs. Hu's accident, then The maid was kicked out of the house by Mrs. Han for stealing."

"How can there be such a coincidence." Zhou Zi knew something tricky without even thinking about it.

"The servants speculate that Mrs. Han hates Lady Hu, so she deliberately framed that maid to drive her away. However, I think it is also possible to consider this matter from the opposite direction."

"What's possible?"

"For example—" Lu Lixiao put down his teacup, and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, "That maid was not framed, but deliberately stole something, taking advantage of Mrs. Han's hatred for Mrs. Hu so that she could leave Han's residence in a reasonable way."

Zhou Ziruo felt enlightened in an instant: "There is only one reason why she designed herself to be driven out of the mansion, and that is what she knew about Mrs. Hu's death!"

Lu Lixiao didn't comment on whether this guess was right or not.

Zhou Ziruo frowned and said, "Since she chose to leave the Han Mansion in such a way as to smear her reputation, it proves that she intends to rot in her stomach. Now we ask her, she won't say anything!"

"I didn't come to look for her today." Lu Lixiao said.

Zhou Ziruo said "Huh?" At this moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy walked out of the kitchen, holding a plate of delicate pastries in each hand.

"Ouch? Cai Qi, instead of being a magic stick today, come to help in the store?" Two or three young people sitting at a table by the window teased the boy.

The boy's face, which was already a little paler than ordinary people's, turned even paler. He glanced at them timidly, shrank his neck, and walked towards the table of Lu Lixiao and Zhou Ziruo.

Based on Lu Lixiao's urination, Zhou Ziruo judged that this young man was the one he was looking for today. When Lu Lixiao looked at V587, he only looked for soft things to pinch, such as his fan girl Han Qiaozhi, such as Cai Qi who seemed weak at first glance, such as him who is generous and flexible.

【Ding! The branch plot character Cai Qi appeared. 】

【Ding! The side mission "Cai Qi's troubles" is now open. 】

【Ding! Ask the user to choose whether to accept the side mission? 】

A series of system sounds popped up in Zhou Ziruo's mind, and then two option keys with "Yes" and "No" appeared in his mind, and he chose "Yes" with his mind without hesitation. Nonsense, there are bonus points!

Cai Qi awkwardly put two plates of pastries on the table, lowered his head and whispered, "Use slowly..."

"Little brother, I see a dark shadow in your eyes, can you see things that ordinary people can't see?" Lu Lixiao said in a low voice when Cai Qi was about to turn around and leave.

Cai Qi's mouth opened as big as an egg, and before he yelled out of control, Lu Lixiao said again: "If this ability has caused you trouble, and you want to get rid of it, maybe I can help you."

"You, you..." Cai Qi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this place. After hesitating, he murmured and said, "I will help my mother do some shopping in the afternoon, and I will pass by the north of Killing Fox Castle... There, there is a remote A small alley with a big tree next to it..."

After Cai Qi finished speaking, he lowered his head and left.

Lu Lixiao took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it into Zhou Ziruo's slightly opened mouth, and lifted his chin to help him close his mouth. Zhou Ziruo came back to his senses and almost choked to death on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, so he hurriedly poured several cups of tea before swallowing it. It was about points, he didn't care about getting angry with Lu Lixiao, and asked, "Cai Qi has yin and yang eyes?"

"The son of the proprietress of this teahouse always said that there was a woman with disheveled hair behind this person, and that there was a child squatting on the corner of the street... This story has spread throughout Kill Fox Castle."

"But what does it have to do with Madam Hu's death?"

Lu Lixiao chose from the two plates of cakes, picked up a piece of red bean cake, and said, "Talk to him in the afternoon, and we'll know if it's related."

It was still early when he came out of the teahouse, so Lu Lixiao turned a blind eye to Zhou Ziruo's behavior of going shopping like a woman, and accompanied him to see all the shops and stalls. When it was almost time, the two went to the north of Kill Fox Castle and found the big tree next to the remote alley. After waiting for a while, they saw Cai Qi appear hesitantly with his head down.

Seeing that Lu Lixiao and Zhou Ziruo were really waiting for him, Cai Qi felt a little regretful and wanted to run away, but in the end he managed to come over.

"You, who are you?" Cai Qi looked at them secretly and asked.

Lu Lixiao said: "We are disciples of Qingyang Mountain."

"Qingyang Mountain?" Cai Qi's vigilance faded when he heard this, "Is that the fairy gate on the fairy mountain?"

"...you can put it that way."

Cai Qi asked timidly again: "Can you really...help me get rid of those, those..."

Lu Lixiao told him with certainty: "Yes. But the premise is that you must answer all the questions I ask you truthfully."

"Okay. You can ask!" It was obvious that Cai Qi had been tortured by yin and yang eyes for a long time, and without thinking about it, he fell into the hole Lu Lixiao dug for him.

Lu Lixiao asked the first question: "When did you start seeing those things?"

Zhou Ziruo thought that this was a good question, so he started from a place completely unrelated to the Han family, so as to avoid Cai Qi's suspicion.

Cai Qi replied honestly: "I, when I was young, I went to the grave with my mother once, and met a rabbit that was killed by a wild dog. After that, I can see it."

Lu Lixiao asked: "Have you told your mother about this?

Zhou Ziruo nodded, um, this started to lead to the matter of Mrs. Hu.

Cai Qi still replied honestly: "I told you, mother, she will prepare tribute every year on the third day of April, and go to the mountain alone to worship the mountain **** to drive away evil spirits for me."

The third day of April is not a festival, so why choose this day to go up the mountain to worship the mountain god? In addition, when most people hear their children say that they can see dirty things, their first reaction is that the children are lying, right? The proprietress of the teahouse actually believed it as soon as she heard it?

Although Lu Lixiao is a very patient person, it depends on who he is. Facing someone as careless as Cai Qi, Zhou Ziruo guessed that he would never waste his tongue.

Sure enough, Lu Lixiao asked next: "Do you know what your mother said to the mountain **** when she worshiped the mountain god?"

Cai Qi glanced at him timidly, and whispered: "This, what does this have to do with my eyes..."

Zhou Ziruo found out that he underestimated this little magic stick, and this problem really has nothing to do with yin and yang eyes. But Lu Lixiao acted as if he had been prepared for a long time, and said nonsense with his eyes open: "Naturally it's related. If your mother's words were inappropriate and offended the mountain god, I'm afraid I won't be able to heal your eyes."

Cai Qi was tender after all, and immediately said: "No way! My mother has never collided with a mountain god!"

"Oh?"

Cai Qi's face turned pale with panic, and he bit his lower lip, Zhou Ziruo couldn't bear to see that small appearance. Finally Cai Qi said: "One time I followed secretly and heard my mother say... say..."

"say what?"

"She said, 'I'm not your mother, don't come to me and don't harass my son. Your mother is under the bed.'" Cai Qi shut her mouth tightly after finishing speaking.

Lu Lixiao and Zhou Ziruo exchanged glances.

"That...you said you would help me..." Cai Qi said.

Lu Lixiao took out Shuyu and played the tune. Cai Qi's upper and lower eyelids began to fight, and he passed out after a while. Zhou Ziruo hurriedly supported him, and saw with his own eyes that his eyes flashed red, and a shadow rushed out !

The shadow quickly dissipated in the sunlight, Cai Qi woke up after half an hour, and sure enough, he could no longer see the dirty things, he was overjoyed at the moment. Lu Lixiao told him not to tell anyone about this matter, he agreed, and thanked him repeatedly shyly and joyfully.

After Cai Qi left, Zhou Ziruo asked, "What was that just now?"

Lu Lixiao said: "The ghost of the rabbit he saw that was killed by wild dogs lived in his eyes. The ghosts can see each other, so he can naturally see other ghosts through the rabbit's eyes."

"So that's how it is." Zhou Ziruo nodded, and before he had time to express his feelings, the system beeps poured in one after another, and he fell into a burst of excitement.

The non-stop "ding ding ding" made Zhou Ziruo feel comfortable physically and mentally, just like hearing the performance of a symphony master live. Jumping two levels in a row, with points and props rewards, without having to do anything yourself, the feeling of being transformed from a poor man into a rich man in an instant is simply not so exciting hahahahaha!
