While thinking, Su Xian put a piece of sugar cube in his mouth to replenish the sugar.

……

Mark and Galaff have a fight, and the real box falls to the ground during the fight.

There should be two things in the wooden box, one is the elixir of longevity, and the other is parchment.

After the wooden box was broken, the Immortal Pill rolled out.

After killing Galaff, Mark hurriedly picks up the wooden box, but he doesn't notice the elixir that rolls into the corner, causing it to be eaten by the critters in the sewers.

And he himself got the parchment left over from the wooden box.

As for what Mark did after getting the parchment, there is no clue yet, and it is likely to be related to Mark's fear.

……

But the mystery man suddenly stopped after a week-long hunt for Leanwal, maybe he realized something, but it is more likely that there was a "person behind the scenes" who conveyed a message to him.

He gave up chasing Li Anhua and instead infiltrated the academy to assassinate Su Xian - according to the inference of the time, Su Xian deeply suspected that the assassin was a mysterious person.

The Mystic explodes on the spot after a failed one-hit assassination.

This may be to blow up Su Xian, or it may be to eliminate the traces and prevent the "people behind the scenes" from being exposed.

……

After all, he is not a detective, and a lot of Su Xian's reasoning is based on "assumptions" and "possibilities", but he feels that he has at least pieced together a logical line that can be justified.

But on this logical line, two key questions arise.

First, why did the mystery man disguise himself as Mark?

Second, why didn't the mystery man summon Professor Buck as well?

He summoned everyone except Augusta, just to kill people, and there was no reason to spare Mark and Professor Barker.

Unless he has a secret between him and Mark or Professor Barker!

In fact, of the six people present that day, only Mark and Professor Barker were still alive.

……

Professor Buck is very suspicious.

Check it out!

……

Before you know it, the food on the plate has been emptied.

Su Xian finally sorted out all his thoughts, he divided the key points, and formulated his next action plan in his mind.

It's simple, find a way to track down Professor Buck!

But tracking is a science, and he has no experience in it.

If Professor Buck does have a problem, it is likely that the tracking fails.

He also felt that he didn't need to suffer.

So it's better to let the professional come.

For example, hire a private investigator!

A true detective is not the kind of pure intellectual profession that sits and waits for someone to present clues and let you analyze the real murderer.

This is especially true in the city of Brut.

Tracking, investigating, analyzing, camouflaging...... Even martial arts is a must-learn for detectives.

As far as Su Xian knows, there are many detective agencies in Brut City, and famous detectives are even more exposed than celebrities, and their appearance fees are naturally rising.

After that, Su Xian left Billy's restaurant, took a short turn on the street, chatted casually with the merchants and residents he met on the street, and found that Mark's superficial skills were indeed excellent.

In addition to his poor reputation in the relationship between men and women, Mark is simply a model young benchmark in the eyes of others.

But it is this problem of the relationship between men and women that is really distressing.

Yesterday in the academy, Su Xian was challenged by Kevin William because of this problem, but the cause of that incident was the dewy relationship between Red Rose Vera and him who met overnight.

Not even a one-night stand.

……

Let's not talk about it for now.

After walking around, Su Xian returned to the rare treasure antiquities store and saw that the decorators were installing the roller shutter doors.

He said hello to the middle-aged man in the lead, and entered the secret room alone, continuing the reading that he had not finished last night.

He actually wanted to know what the era of 3,500 years was like, and what kind of person the emperor who refined the "Immortal Pill" was, but there were no relevant books in Mark's collection.

……

Early the next morning.

The calendar flipped to July 10th, and the weather was nice today.

Su Xian had breakfast at Billy's Restaurant, read today's newspaper, and waited for the decorators to come to work, then left College Street on foot, and came to the thorny road not far away according to the memory in his mind.

After leaving College Street, the overall environment of Brut City is very different.

Dirty floors, litter, mud pipes that bare, broken boxes and rotten trailers piled up in the corners, small animal carcasses in the middle of the street.

Office workers and workers who come out early in the morning to work, homeless people who sleep in cardboard boxes or pipes, cleaners who have already started sweeping the floor, but can't finish sweeping the garbage......

This is the general situation in this world, a society that still has a long way to go before modern civilization.

"At 77 Thorn Flower Road, upstairs from Alice's flower shop, I remember that Mark remembered that there was such a detective agency."

Just tracking Professor Buck and investigating his day-to-day actions doesn't require a very good detective agency.

So he chose this nearby detective agency.

But now it seems that things are not going well with this detective agency.

He frowned, always feeling a little unfavorable.

It is a two-story building, and the flower shop on the first floor has been opened, but there is no one in the shop, and even the flowers have been emptied.

The second floor is supposed to be the place of the detective agency, but even the signboard is gone.

"Is it a demolition?"

A funny thought welled up in his head.

At this moment, a group of people came over shouting.

……

This is a group of young people with Mohican hairstyles, nose rings, lip rings, earrings or nose studs, lip studs, and studs, each shirtless, with a black skull tattooed on their arms with smoking features, all whistling and holding toothpicks, and almost writing the word "hooligan" on their foreheads.

"The Skeletons?"

Su Xian was very uninterested in these gang gangsters.

This is really because when he first came to this world, he was approached by an inexplicable small gang, and what is even more inexplicable is that the small gang has nothing to do with him at all, and he still doesn't know why Andre and the others came to him.

The only clue is that Catwoman who escaped.

It feels like Andre and the others were all supported by the Catwoman's design.

But none of that matters now.

He took the "Minotaur's Nose Ring" and turned to face the low-level members of the Skull Gang, quietly waiting for them to approach.
