Chapter 82: On the Rivers and Lakes
After three cups and three glasses, Bai He called for a jar of liquor again, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Di, what do you think of my brother's liquor?" β
"Tsk, there's nothing to say!" The great detective was full of praise and said, "This wine is the only one I have seen in the old man's life, and I think the old man in the holy harem has also drunk a lot of wine, but compared with this liquor, it is ......."
He didn't dare to directly denigrate the palace wine, but just snorted in a "you know" tone.
Of course Bai He understood, and couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, no matter how good the wine in the holy harem is, it is also the category of "excellent yogurt", how can it be compared with liquor? The two are not at the same level at all.
But he didn't dare to say these words, thinking about it, he suddenly sighed deliberately, and said: "Wine is good wine, Brother Di, if you like it, wait for the younger brother to prepare a jar for you to go back and drink slowly." Otherwise, Brother Di, next time you come, you may not have such good wine......
At this time, the great detective showed the shrewdness that a detective should have, and he saw through his careful thinking at a glance, and said directly: "The old man knows that Brother Bai has no reason to ask for a drink, and he must have something to ask for." Don't beat around the bush, just say it, what do you need the old man's help with? For the sake of Brother Bai's wine, as long as it is not a traitor, the old man will definitely help if he can help! β
Bai He was overjoyed: What I am waiting for is your words!
As a result, before he could speak, the great detective muttered to himself with a very occupational illness: "Hehe, if the old man guessed correctly, Brother Bai, you should be worried about the safety of the winery, right?" Oh no, it's supposed to be for the sake of secrecy in the method of sake brewing! β
"Brother Di's clever plan!" Bai He was secretly frightened when he heard this, the great detective is really a great detective, and this reasoning ability is really not covered!
In the eyes of the average person, at most, he will think that he is struggling with how to make more money. After all, this liquor is a cross-era product, and there is no reference in the market at all, and the value is extremely difficult to determine. The pricing is high, the average person can't afford it, and the lower customers are lost. The pricing is low, and it seems too uncompulsive, and the price has shrunk a lot, so it's really hard to price.
In short, ordinary people would never think of "secrecy", because behind him stood such a wealthy family as the Lin family. However, Detective Di Renjie just thought of it - no matter how he thought of it, this ability of "one sentence" alone has to be heartbreaking.
Since the great detective said so, Bai He would definitely not hesitate for a moment, and immediately said his difficulties like this.
The great god detective listened in awe: "Brother Bai, as the son-in-law of the Lin family, can obviously eat and wait for death to die happily, but he prefers to be self-reliant and start from scratch, this noble spirit of asking for hardships really makes Di Mou admire!" If it is a different place, the old man will not be able to do it to the same extent as Brother Bai! β
Bai He: "......"
What is the noble spirit of asking for hardships? Why is it that this great detective is always so entangled when he speaks...... couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Brother Di, don't make fun of me, help me with a trick!" Aren't you a patrol envoy in charge of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, you should be most familiar with the business in the rivers and lakes......"
"Well, it's not difficult to say this, it's not easy to say, first, you have to have real skills, second, you have to be trustworthy, and third, you can't be nepotistic, so that both families can be convinced, it's really a bit difficult......" The detective muttered for a while.
Halfway through, he suddenly asked, "Brother Bai, the old man will ask you a question first." What do you think about the people in the rivers and lakes? β
"What do you think of the people in the rivers and lakes?" Bai He didn't expect him to suddenly ask this, and couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, "This is Brother Di's job, I can see what you think, I'm not from the rivers and lakes, and I don't know martial arts, what else can I think?" β
"Uh......" The great detective was stunned, and he didn't seem to expect him to answer like this. is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, this white boy is quite clean...... He smiled and said, "Isn't this an if, if you are a person in the rivers and lakes, in your eyes, this person in the rivers and lakes...... What kind of people are they? β
Bai He laughed at the time, since it was a hypothetical question, then we have no problem talking nonsense, right? Anyway, you don't have to pay taxes to brag. So he smiled and said, "What kind of people are the people of the rivers and lakes?" A bunch of thorns, who else could it be......"
"Thorns?" This is a new thing, and the great detective is very curious: "How do you say this?" β
"First of all, the first condition for walking the rivers and lakes is to have martial arts, right?" White River Channel.
"That's not necessarily, there are some people on the rivers and lakes who don't know martial arts, but they are experts in using poison." The great detective gave a counter-example very seriously.
Bai He: "......"
Are you going to be able to chat? Don't think that if you are a famous detective in history, we won't dare to slap you in the face!
Exhale β inhaleββ!
Bai He hurriedly took a deep breath, and told himself in his heart to hold back: "We are good people, we must respect the elderly, and don't care about him in general!" He raised his head and toasted a glass before he spoke: "In short, they all have a skill, it may be said that they have special abilities that ordinary people do not have, it may be martial arts, it may be poison, it may be light skills, it may be some strange spells or something, this is always right?" β
"That's true." The great detective did not give a counter-example this time, but nodded in agreement.
"Isn't that the end of it?" White River spread his hands. Seeing the great detective's puzzled eyes, he explained: "Brother Di, you think, ordinary people are people, and martial arts masters are also people, since everyone is human, but there are a few people who can easily do things that ordinary people can't do, so what do you think they are most likely to do?" β
"This ......" the great detective felt a little difficult to answer, because there are so many things that people in the rivers and lakes can do, and it is really difficult to summarize in one sentence.
However, Bai He didn't expect him to answer, thinking that he didn't have to pay taxes for bragging anyway, so he directly gave the answer: "Show off!" They have to do all sorts of spiral fancy shows! β
"Show off?"
"That's right, it's showing off! Whether it's running to compete with others when you're full and having nothing to do, or bullying the people with superb force, occupying the mountain as the king, starting a sect, running to be a flower thief without sleeping late at night, or simply being a thief in the ocean, robbing the house, or even like my family, living in the boudoir with a true martial aura but living in the boudoir and not asking about the world, or cultivating wholeheartedly...... All of this, in essence, they are showing off themselves in various ways! First, it shows that he is not an ordinary person and has a sense of self-satisfaction. Second, in the circle of rivers and lakes, they also gain self-identity and a sense of collective belonging. This is a psychology that everyone has, and it is the same in the circle of ordinary people. It's just that in the rivers and lakes, this way of expression is more intense and more eye-catching, which is why there are all kinds of characters in the rivers and lakes. β
"Brother Bai is insightful!" The Great Detective was in awe again.
