Episode 10: Becoming more and more suspicious
The reckless Kanban Niang was still busy in the backyard and didn't hear Miss Barnyard Field's accusations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if she hears it, she can't refute it, no matter which angle you look at it, Motoju Xiaosuzu is a suspicious guy, and even outsiders like me, who don't often see her, can see the clues.
Ah Qiu's question also came to the point: "Did you come to find the demon book identified by Xiao Ling at the shrine?" Reimu may find a few demon books and forget them in the corner of the shrine. β
"Huh? I haven't found this yet.,I haven't searched every corner of the shrine.,The demon book I found this time wasn't found from the shrine.,It was found by the maid of the Patchy family.γ β
The witch interface, but she corrected my inappropriate words first: "It's the maid of the Remi family." β
"For the time being, for the time being."
"Saki Night passed by the Tsukasa and stumbled upon a book with strange words.,I was going to find Yakumo Purple to identify it.,But ......"
"Ah, I see, if you can't find a monster sage, you will retreat," Ah Qiu said she didn't need to listen to more introductions, "so Suzu can recognize the text on the book, it's the demon book, it seems that she has something to ask Miss Patchouli, right?" β
"Well, I asked her to make a copy of the original of that book in exchange for teaching the text."
"Originally, this matter should not have much to do with me, for the sake of caution, can I take the liberty of asking?"
"Please."
"The contents of the demon book?"
Acupuncture Pill replied first: "It may not be an ordinary herbal book, the title of the book is called Materia Medica." β
"The book with the word Materia Medica in the title is nothing more than a work on Chinese herbal medicine," the aristocratic girl was well-informed, and after listening to the words of the acupuncture pill, she put aside her worries, and said, "Since it is an ordinary work of Chinese herbal medicine, I don't think it will make Xiaoling have other crooked ideas." β
"It's all said, it's not ordinary." Acupuncture Miaomaru has one more mouth.
"Huh?"
"Xiao Ling said that there is an introduction to the magic medicine fairy grass that can make people soar into immortals."
"Well, it's not surprising that this is recorded in the Demon Book, but I'm afraid she plans to ......"
"Don't worry too soon," I said, "even if she wants to go out of the village to collect medicine, she has to get her parents' permission, and if you don't feel comfortable, you can talk to her parents." β
I didn't know how to use this kind of trick before, but being a witch still has a lot of benefits for me.
"Let's not talk about this for now," Ah Qiu sat upright again, "If it's just an ordinary Chinese herbal medicine book, I haven't reacted yet, and I think of the immortal medicine again." β
"What?" Akinmaru asked for us.
"The other day," she said, "Suzu told me she was trying to make an elixir, and I thought she was joking or improvising herself because she was improvising the contents of the books that came in from the outside world, so I didn't pay much attention to it...... By the way, when she went to return the book that day, she also mentioned that she had picked up a demon book, which I guess might have something to do with alchemy. β
I recalled Suzu's suspicious behavior before, "If it's Patchy's Materia Medica, and her surprise when she first saw the book doesn't look like a forgery, then the book she picked up is another one?" If there's another one, why do you need Patsy's one? β
"I didn't say it all just now, when I was returning the book at the front desk, I caught a glimpse of the page of the book she was flipping through, it was the demon book she told me she had picked up, I saw a picture of grass drawn in ink on the page, and at first I guessed that it was a book like a plant illustrated book written by a monster, and I didn't pay much attention to it."
"Illustrated?" I turned around and guessed, "There is not a single picture in Patsy's herbal medicine book, and now I think about it, it is a little suspicious, the herb without the picture is almost worthless, is Xiaoling deceiving people?" β
"Whatever, I'll go find the illustrated book!"
The childish Akinmyomaru is a do-it-action pie, and after a while, she dragged out an ancient book with the same gray cover from the counter where the Kanban lady kept accounts, and flew back on her head, "There are a lot of weed-like illustrated books in here." β
"Weeds, weeds? That's a bit too much......" Ah Qiu muttered to himself in a low voice.
"It's just a resemblance." After turning a few pages, I added.
Patchy and I flipped through a few pages and said, "The text under the illustrated book should be an introduction to plants, although I can't understand it either, but it's ......."
"Several seemingly representative symbols overlap with the text in Patchy's book, suggesting that the two books probably use the same script, and even the author is the same person."
What the hell is going on? It's just an illustrated book that seems to be related to the herbal book that Sakuya picked up.,Why did Suzu hide it from us? The suspicion resurfaced, and it became more and more vigorous, and the four-person interrogation team formed spontaneously at the scene stared at the curtain of the backyard and waited for the suspect to return.
At this moment, Xiao Ling returned to the front hall with the original demon book.
"Hey, Ahhh Unconsciously, she approached the interrogation group and greeted her friends first.
"Good morning," Aqiu said, then instructed her to sit down, "We have some questions for you, and we hope you will tell us the truth." β
"Otherwise, don't blame us for asking your parents about the situation." Patchy doesn't seem to want to take care of things, and a noble girl like Ah Qiu who always exudes a soft aura is not very suitable for a tough role, I thought about it and decided to act as the representative of this temporary interrogation team, so I first put a cruel word, Akinmyomaru flew to Xiao Suzu's shoulder and sat down, and nodded solemnly at the Kanban girl who turned her head to look at her and didn't know what was going on.
"WowγWhy did you suddenly get serious?γIt's a little scary......"
"Because of it." I gave her the bestiary.
βοΌβ
"Let's be honest."
"Hmm-" She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead, this was not an exaggerated rhetorical device, there were indeed drops of sweat on her forehead, and the heir of the family business was not very calm, "Do you want to explain something?" β
"The more you pretend to be stupid, the more it shows that what you are hiding is unspeakable, and the more you increase your guilt, think clearly before answering."
"But, but, but, I really don't know what to explain, no, isn't it just hiding a illustrated book of herbs that doesn't matter?"
"That's right, it doesn't matter if you don't mention the demon book to us outsiders, you have a lot of demon books in your collection, and you don't care about hiding a picture book, but!" I stared into her eyes, "This illustrated book is obviously related to the herbal book that Patchy gave you, even if you don't know the words, you can easily tell that they are the same language just by glancing at the glyphs of the words used in the two books, and in this case you still don't mention that you have a book with the same words as the one we brought, and there must be something strange in it, it was not suspicious in the first place, but it was put into a suspicious shape by yourself!" β
"Yes, that's it!" Acupuncture Myomaru is like a professional follower.
Patchy gave her eyes in support.
I don't think they actually think it's suspicious that Suzu is hiding an illustrated book, it's just a treasure scroll, it's just a magic scroll to match, but I have a vague idea in my heart, and gradually string these thoughts into a line.
