"Okay, what type of mission is it?"

"Testing. ”

Lin Lingling reported a type of mission that Qi Qi hadn't seen at the Demon Hunter Gathering Place.

Then, she raised her hand and pressed the shell-shaped monster scales (?) on the countertop: "Urgent task, must be completed within three days, the test report will be sent directly to my mailbox, the commission is pending." ”

Lin Lingling lowered his head and whispered to himself, "If this scale belongs to those monsters that have never appeared, I think the Monster Research Institute may have to pay me a commission." ”

"Okay, please wait. ”

The staff did not change their complexions, still smiling. She took out a ziplock bag, carefully put the scales in, and then operated on the computer for a while, and said to Lin Lingling, "The mission has been released. ”

Lin Lingling nodded, turned around and walked towards the other side of the task counter.

Laboratory tasks are not issued to demon hunters, and only the Youkai Research Institute and the Alchemy Room can undertake them.

Lin Lingling walked to the task counter with the sign "Related Information Trading", stood on tiptoe, and said calmly, "How many pieces of information are there about the death in the river on the campus of Mito University?"

"Please wait. The staff responded, and ten fingers jumped on the keyboard.

After a while, she smiled and said, "There are seven of them, three from the official and four from the people." ”

The so-called official means that it is obtained from official institutions such as the police and the city guard.

Generally speaking, the police and the city guards are the first to take over all cases related to youkai, so they also get the most relevant information.

It is worth mentioning here that this information was not obtained by illegal means by the demon hunter assembly, but the business proposed by these official agencies on their own initiative, on the grounds that in a metropolis like the Demon Capital, there are too many monsters, and the city guards do not have enough manpower to deal with these suspicious and unsolved cases while maintaining daily patrols and other activities, and the details of some cases that can be "made public" are properly bought and sold, which is conducive to the cracking of the case and the arrest of the murderer, and is conducive to maintaining the stability of the community.

(Although many demon hunters often cause great damage to their surroundings when hunting youkai)

As for the people, it refers to hearsay, and the Demon Hunter Guild will screen the reliability of the information according to the identity of the information provider, as well as confirm the value.

In the case of the three river deaths at Mito University, there is no doubt that the official information is the autopsy report, the scene investigation report, and the testimony of the relevant personnel provided by the police and the city guard, while the civilian information comes from the oral accounts of the campus salvage team and the person who first found the body.

"How much does it cost to buy them all?" Lin Lingling got straight to the point.

"It costs a total of seven thousand dollars. ”

"So expensive?" it was not Lin Lingling who spoke, but Qi Qiong, who came over.

The staff patiently explained: "Since these seven pieces of information are all first-time transactions, and they are relatively close to the time, and the credibility is extremely high, the price will be slightly higher." ”

"Fifty percent, I want to buy out. "Lin Lingling is domineering and leaking.

As the name suggests, a buyout means that these seven pieces of information can no longer be obtained by anyone except her and the intelligence provider.

"Okay, please wait. ”

The staff gestured, handed Lin Lingling a bell, and asked the two of them to go to the wooden table on the side to drink something first.

"What do you mean?" Qi Qiong sat down with Lin Lingling, puzzled, "Didn't you say that it was bought out, why wait?"

Lin Lingling ordered a strawberry milkshake, took a sip, and explained: "The buyout is not a one-sided matter. The buyout price I proposed had to be in line with the informant's mind in the first place, so that they would not be able to make more profit by continuing to sell for nothing. Of course, this is only for civilian intelligence. The providers of official intelligence, like the police department, the city guard, and even the military, they don't care how much money this intelligence can bring them, they need to benefit from performance, you know?"

"Roughly understood. "Qi Qiong seems to understand but not understand.

"That is to say," Lin Lingling at this time looked like an old and cunning businessman, "They will consider how much power I and my backstage have, and whether this information gives me the best effect, in other words, how likely it is to solve this case if it is handed over to me." If they think I'm not qualified, then the buyout fails, you know?"

"Oh......" Qi Qiong suddenly realized, and suddenly asked again, "In that case, why should we buy out? Do you dare to guarantee that we will find the murderer?"

"Don't dare. Lin Lingling sucked on the straw, his big eyes blinked, and he looked very innocent.

She said, "More than 10,000 yuan can be bought out, and no one will miss this kind of opportunity." Besides, even if we can't find the murderer, when the time comes, as long as we add the information collected by that stunned young man, we can sell it directly, and after the information is bought out, it has been marked with our name, and we can sell it for two thousand and make a profit directly, what better thing could it be?"

Qi Qiong looked at Lin Lingling in a daze, feeling that one day she would be sold by her and not know, and she would even help her count the money.

"You told me this the first time we met, aren't you afraid that I'll leak it out?" Qi Qiong said.

Lin Lingling rolled his eyes, "There are many information dealers in the Demon Hunter Gathering, it's very common for me to do this, don't act like a fool, no matter how you say it, you are also a top student of Mito University, you will make me think that the students of Mito University are stupid." ”

"I still don't understand a little," Qi Qiong said, "like you, your credibility should be very poor, but you just said that those official agencies will consider how much energy you and your back-office have, how dare you ensure that you will be able to pass their considerations?

"There is a crack in everything, and that's where the light comes in. ”

Lin Lingling said incomprehensibly, "Any intelligence dealer will be linked to a large demon hunting office. In other words, a large demon hunting office must have a lot of intelligence dealers. The buyout is an official communication between the demon hunting office and the intelligence provider. If you think about it, the people in charge of this at the police department and the city guard are already busy all day, and their eyes are dazzled, will they still carefully check whether your previous buyout record is good? ”

"They tend to just glance at the demon hunting agency behind you, and make sure it's a big one. In general, large offices and cities

There are close contacts between the city guard and the police station. Forget it, I'll directly pierce this layer of window paper to tell you, buy out this kind of thing, as long as you are behind a large firm, you will basically succeed, this is the default fact of this line, as for why this is the case, it is an industry secret, and when you really become a demon hunter, you will understand. ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Ding——

The bell on the table rang suddenly.

The two got up and walked to the task counter, and the staff told them that the buyout was successful, and the seven pieces of information had been sent to Lin Lingling's mailbox, please pay attention to check. Lin Lingling had a look on his face that he had expected a long time ago, and the old god nodded, walked to the far right side of the task counter with a confused Qi Qiong, helped him get an intern demon hunter certificate, and guided him to take the unknown task.

Then the two of them left.

But when they left, they didn't walk the way they came, but pushed open the wooden door on the side of the hall, and there was an underground parking lot in front of them, full of colorful luxury cars, Qi Qiong almost thought that he was at a car show, he suddenly remembered that the light crossbow woman who passed by before left through this door.

"Don't be envious, when you become a high-star demon hunter, one mission will be enough for you to buy one. ”

Lin Lingling dragged Qi Qiong from the freight elevator directly to the mall to the first floor.

"Why didn't we go here just now, but go to the suit shop?" Qi Qiong asked.

"Because it's near. Lin Lingling's face was expressionless, suspecting that what was standing next to him was a walking copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys", "If you drive, of course I will take the underground parking lot, but you don't." ”

"This ...... All right. Qi Qiong was speechless because of his own poverty.

The two walked to the side of the road, Lin Lingling raised her hand and hailed a taxi, got into the passenger seat, and she said to Qi Qiong, who was at a loss, "You go back to school, I will look for you and the stunned man if there is something." After speaking, she said an address to the driver, and the taxi left a trail in front of Qi Qiong and drove away.

Qi Qiong reluctantly looked at the rear of the car and disappeared at the end of his gaze.

"Why don't you take me with you?" he muttered, obediently walking to the bus stop and starting to wait for the bus.

……

……

"Are you in a hurry?"

Luo Yu sat down, held his sideburns, and said to the "dazed" situation.

Qi Qi came back to his senses and looked at Luo Yu suspiciously, "What did you say?"

"Nothing. Luo Yu smiled, pushed over a cup of milk tea, her hands were white and soft in the sun, "I bought it with Lu Xiaohan, she didn't come when she wanted to go to a meeting." ”

"Thank you. ”

Guo Qiqi nodded and took a slight sip, he had no interest in this high-calorie drink.

"You just sent me a message saying that you have something to ask me, what's the matter?" Luo Yu wrapped his hands around the wall of the cup, warming his hands with the warmth of milk tea.

"Well," Qi Qi pondered for a moment, "You're from the drama club?"

"That's right. ”

"I want to know the information about the two deceased people in the campus legend that Lu Xiaohan said yesterday. ”

"I didn't expect you to be interested in this. Luo Yu smiled.

"Everyone has a dream of being a detective. "The situation is open and talking nonsense.

"Okay. Luo Yu sat up straight, "Actually, I don't know much, but because there is a lot of rumors about this matter in the drama club, I have also heard a lot." That senior, named Jin Heng, was born in a literary family, and it is said that his family is all engaged in literary and artistic work, so he has a deep knowledge of drama, I mean, compared with us half-assers. ”

"Because he is very handsome, many girls like him. To be honest, before I heard those lace rumors about him, I liked him a lot, and even fantasized about falling in love with him. But it's a little disgusting to think about it now. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Yu blushed a little.

"Lace rumors?"

"Well, I heard that he is a famous playboy who often asks girls to the hotel on the grounds of talking about scripts, and I think you can guess what happened after that. In short, both the seniors and seniors in the drama club have a low opinion of him, if it weren't for his excellent business ability, this year-end drama would never have let him be the leading actor. ”

"What major is he?"

"Chinese Language and Literature. Luo Yu said, "He writes scripts well, although the seniors criticize him a lot, they still use the scripts he wrote repeatedly." I've heard some seniors talk about it, and they often say that they are talented, and it's normal to have a lot of women. This kind of rhetoric stinks!"

"In addition to the drama club, what other clubs did he join?"

"I don't know much about this, but I know that he is the president of the Luming Poetry Society, and this matter was told to me by Qi Qiong, and he is also from the Luming Poetry Society. ”

Luo Yu suddenly wondered, "By the way, what about Qiqiong's others? I remember that he didn't have classes this afternoon." ”

"He left first when he had something to do. Qi Qi said lightly.

"It seems that he is a literary and artistic youth. Guo Qiqi concluded, "What about that girl, do you know her?"

"Because we have to rehearse plays together, we see each other often, but we don't know each other. ”

"What's her name?"

"Chen Tingting. ”

"Which major?"

"It seems to be...... It is not clear which major of the School of Foreign Chinese Languages. Luo Yu recalled, "She is a freshman like me, and her performance in the club is not outstanding, and her personality is relatively shy, which is a little transparent, but she didn't expect to die like this." ”

"Do you have the contact information of their roommates or friends?"

"Of course there is. Luo Yu smiled, "We have a group in the drama club, I can pull you in, and you can chat with them privately." But junior brother, do you really want to be a detective? Isn't it good that the police are responsible for this kind of thing, and if you rush in and attract the attention of the police, it will not have a good impact on you. ”

"If the police notice me, I have my way to fix it. There was no expression on his face.

"Okay. Luo Yu nodded helplessly and took out his mobile phone, "I'll pull you into the group." ”

After a while, after adding the group, she stood up, "Today Friday, Chenshantang fruit is on sale, I'll buy some, I ate so much fruit from you yesterday, I'm sorry, since I don't have anything to ask, then I'll leave first, junior brother, you continue to solve the case." "Her figure

Disappearing in the warm winter sun, the khaki trench coat sways in the wind, indescribably sassy and beautiful.

Guo Qi stared at the colorful avatar group on the mobile phone screen, and fell into deep thought, he still had to find the friends of the deceased in the latter two cases to understand the situation, this matter is more complicated to deal with, he doesn't know many people in this school, Lu Xiaohan, Luo Yu and Qi Qiong......

Wait a minute!

A stocky shadow flashed through his mind.

Ye Xinci!

Luo Yu has her mobile phone number!

Qi Qi hurriedly sent a message to ask Luo Yu, and after a while, Luo Yu sent his mobile phone number.

After waiting for two or three seconds, a "hello" came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm Guo Qiqi, and we've met on the subway. ”

"Situation...... Oh, come to think of it, that junior in the junior class?" Ye Xinci's tone was puzzled, "What's the matter with me?"

"Are you free now?"

"Yes is ......"

"I'm in the first cafeteria, can I see you?"

“…… Is it so impatient?" Ye Xinci muttered, it was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing when she was so big, and for some reason she was a little excited, could the old senior sister also have spring?

"There's something I want to ask. Guo Qiqi said.

Ye Xinci frowned, and then suddenly realized, maybe the junior brother didn't know much about the school situation, Luo Yu and the others had just entered the school, and many things still had to be asked by an old fritter like her.

"Got it, see you in half an hour. Ye Xinci said.

After putting down the phone, she immediately ran to the toilet and began to dress up quickly in front of the mirror, makeup is a craft, it can turn ugly girls into beauties, Ye Xinci is undoubtedly an expert in this way, after a while, her face is like a different appearance, from an old senior sister to a cute girl, and with a dark over-the-knee jacket, the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

"Wow, Xinci, what are you going to do, dating?" exclaimed Ye Xinci's roommate who was lying on the bed like a salted fish.

Ye Xinci hasn't dressed up so seriously for a long time, since she decided to take the law exam, she has gradually begun to be unkempt, and the makeup skills she once practiced have also been sealed in the years and have not been used for a long time, who would have thought that there would be a man today who can make Ye Xinci, who is like a stone girl, move her spring heart, this is incredible!

"Make me a cup of coffee. Ye Xinci said, "The old lady will go back when she goes!"

With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the entire dormitory shook.

Ye Xinci's roommate was stunned, Ye Xinci's words just now were quite bold "Guan Yu warms wine and kills Huaxiong", but I don't know which man will bow down in front of her little thick legs this afternoon.

……

……

First canteen.

Guo Qi looked at the familiar woman in front of him in shock, and for the first time in his life, he suspected that his memory was wrong.

Ye Xinci...... Senpai?" he stumbled, uncertainty in his tone.

"It's me. Ye Xinci pretended to be a confidant big sister and nodded.

Seeing that Guo Qiqi was full of disbelief, she smiled, "I was in a bad state last time, so I made you laugh, and today is my normal state." ”

Is normality serious? It's like the return of a dying man!

Besides, everyone who can't complain has begun to complain.

"What's the matter with me?" Ye Xinci then asked, his eyes eagerly as if he was going to eat the situation.

Qi Qi swallowed in fear, always feeling that the hungry woman would swallow herself at any moment, and he leaned back tactically for some distance.

"I want to ask you, do you know the friends of those who died in the river on campus, I am very interested in this matter. ”

"What?" Ye Xinci doubted her ears, no, more than her ears, she doubted that there was something wrong with the brain circuit of the boy in front of her, and asking a girl out to talk about a dead person?

Qi Qi had to repeat it again.

If Ye Xinci hadn't taken care of her image, she would probably have slapped the table and left.

The old lady has been transformed for so long, and in your eyes, there are not as many dead bodies as attractive?

"You came out of me just to find out about this matter?" Ye Xinci suppressed his anger.

"Hmm. Qi Qi nodded honestly.

“…… You are ruthless!" Ye Xinci gritted her teeth and did not speak, but took out her mobile phone and began to type.

Five minutes later, Qi Qi's phone vibrated a little.

"I sent you what you wanted, and we'll never see each other again. Ye Xinci picked up the bag and turned around and left.

Qi Qi looked at her leaving back in confusion, not understanding what was wrong with what she was doing.

Ye Xinci strode back to the dormitory, thinking that if it was just for this matter, why did she call her out to meet, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she couldn't wait to yell at the sky. Thanks to the confidence she said before she left the dormitory, she will definitely lose face when she goes back now!

After thinking about it, she turned around, planning to go to the library to drag some time, and then go back to find a random reason, just say that the boy confessed to her, but she felt that the law exam was important, and directly refused, so that she could still have a little pathetic dignity.
