Chapter 222: Rachel's Vinegar
After Ruan Chi ate Betty's lunch at home, he and Shirley came to a commercial area in the south of the city, and the two of them naturally came here not to go shopping, but because Shirley had just received news that a body had been found in a green garden near the business district.
Because the guards had already arrived, the nearby onlookers had been cleared early, and when Ruan Chi followed Shirley, there was only a closed blockade.
"Captain, the corpse is inside." A member of the guard walked up to Shirley and saluted.
"When was the body found?" Shirley asked in a deep voice.
"About an hour ago, a noble lady who was walking in the garden found her, she was almost stunned, and it was her subordinate who informed us."
"Let's go in and have a look."
Ruan Chi then crossed the blockade with Shirley and came to the garden, where it was covered with greenery and a large cloth covering the lawn behind a low bush.
Although most of the place had been covered, Ruan Chi still saw the blood stains scattered all over the place, which showed how fierce the battle was at that time.
Shirley immediately walked over and lifted the covered fabric, only to see a not very complete corpse lying inside, first the head and limbs were missing, and the rest of the torso was full of bite marks.
I don't know why, seeing this corpse, Ruan Chi suddenly remembered another thing, that is, when they were still staying in the Court of Freedom as envoys, two white elf girls were killed.
The tragic appearance was very similar to the corpse in front of him.
But even so, Ruan Chi didn't delve into it. After all, it is not surprising that the corpses are similar in appearance.
Shirley though is the captain of the guard. However, such a tragic corpse is rare. So after she looked at it twice, she couldn't help but run to the side and retch.
Ruan Chi didn't forget to tease: "My captain, eldest sister, it's just a corpse and you vomit like this, how can you expect you to find out the manipulator behind the transformation of people?" ”
Shirley, who had finished retching, ran back, although her face was ugly, she still glared at Ruan Chi, and then said to the team members next to her: "Find someone to clean up the body immediately, and." Take the noble lady and her subordinates back for questioning, they may see the murderer's appearance, and they will have to record it in detail. ”
After the work was arranged, Shirley pulled Ruan Chi out of the garden and secretly ran to a place where no one was.
"You tell me, how many monsters are there that kind of transformation monsters? Wasn't it the only one we caught last night? Although there is no evidence that the body found in the garden was left behind by the transformation person, according to Shirley's own intuition, she believes that the murderer Jiucheng is a transformation person, so she asked this question.
"Transformers don't know one. But if you ask me how many there are, I can't really answer. Ruan Chi shook his head and said.
"It's definitely not okay to let these monsters hurt people anywhere. We must do everything we can to bring them to justice. The fire of justice rose in Shirley's eyes at this moment, and she made up her mind.
"Where to find a place as big as Fortinchel City." Ruan Chi looked at the sun above his head and said lazily.
"Don't forget what my team just said." The witty female captain of the guard suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said confidently: "He said that the noble lady who first discovered the reformer came here an hour ago, which means that the reformer only left here for about an hour, maybe he is still wandering around, we have to find it out......"
Shirley was talking about the excitement, but found that Ruan Chi had already walked far away at some point, and she hurriedly caught up with him and grabbed him: "Wait, where are you going?" ”
"It's hot, I want to go home and take a nap." Ruan Chi pointed to the sun above his head and said.
"Bastard, have you forgotten what you promised me? You want to help me investigate those reformers and the Platinum Group that manipulated them behind them, how can you leave now? "Shirley doesn't have a good air.
"What's the use of catching those reformers, the people behind them are the Platinum Consortium, shouldn't we just copy the guys and go to their headquarters?"
At the beginning, Ruan Chi thought that if he told Shirley everything, Shirley would use the power of the city guard to rush directly to find trouble with the Platinum Consortium, but he didn't expect this woman to finally tell him that it was impossible to move the Platinum Consortium without real evidence.
Ruan Chi was naturally disappointed when he heard this, where was he in the mood to play that kind of game of catching thieves with Shirley.
"The Platinum Consortium is the first chamber of commerce of the Free Federation, you think it's a small street vendor, even if it's our guard, it's impossible to arrest people for no reason." Sure enough, Shirley moved out again for this reason.
"In that case, wait until you find evidence to find me." Ruan Chi helped his forehead.
"Don't you want to get permission to use the Interracial Teleportation Array?"
Just as Ruan Chi was about to turn around and leave, Shirley suddenly shouted.
Ruan Chi stopped and turned to face her, "You're threatening me?" ”
"It's not a threat, it's a fair deal, if you want to get permission to use the interracial teleportation array, then obediently assist me." Shirley said expressionlessly.
Ruan Chi raised his hands, "Okay, I surrender." ”
Although he didn't want to waste time with Shirley, when it came to the permission to use the interracial teleportation array, Ruan Chi could only grit his teeth and endure it.
"Well, it's not bad to help her investigate the transformation of people anyway, maybe you can really pull out the little tail of the platinum consortium." Ruan Chi comforted himself like this.
……
The commercial area where the body was found was quite large, and in order to find the reformers who were hiding, Shirley arranged some more guards to find them, and she herself pulled Ruan Chi to find them nearby.
There are more people in the commercial area at noon, and it is impossible for the renovation people to hide here, so the two of them are looking for a place to pick a secluded and uninhabited alley.
After nearly two hours of turning around in various alleys, Ruan Chi walked out sweating profusely.
The Free Federation is located in the center of the Miracle Continent, it is summer, the weather is particularly hot, although the system can isolate most of the body's adverse reactions, such as pain, hunger, etc., but obviously the heat is not among them.
Shirley was also covered in sweat, but she didn't mean to give up at all, greeted Ruan Chi twice, raised her legs and walked in the other direction.
"This woman is really stubborn." Ruan Chi shook his head helplessly and staggered to catch up.
The two returned to the main road and were about to walk towards the alley on the opposite street, but they didn't expect to meet two acquaintances at this time.
"Why are you here?" Rachel and Guldia stood side by side, pointing at Ruan Chi behind Shirley, with a stunned expression on their faces.
Early this morning, after the Adventurers' Guild separated, Ruan Chi said that he had a personal matter to deal with, so he left first, and before leaving, this guy also specially ordered Rachel and Guldia to stay and take on some low-level adventure tasks, and explained that this was done to hide people's eyes.
The purpose of the initial establishment of the adventure group was also to hide people's eyes, and the two simple white elf beauties naturally believed Ruan Chi's words, and spent most of their time doing very low-level tasks there, such as helping people find cats, dogs, and the like.
No, the two girls happened to take an E-level task to help a nobleman find a pet bird and came here, so they also ran into Ruan Chi.
"It turns out that the private thing you are talking about is dating beautiful women." Rachel didn't notice that she had a strong sour meaning when she said this, and her beautiful eyes kept going back and forth on Ruan Chi and Shirley.
It's no wonder she misunderstood like this, this was originally a commercial street, Ruan Chi followed Shirley empty-handed, and people who didn't know thought it was an intimate couple.
"Your Excellency, do you really ......" Even Guldia looked at her with a questioning look.
Feeling the dissatisfaction of the two women, Ruan Chi felt that he was very wronged.
"You all misunderstood, she is the captain of the city guard, didn't you already see it last night, second senior brother?"
"Captain of the Guard?" Rachel gave Shirley a puzzled look, then remembered, "Oh, you're not the woman chasing monsters?" ”
Unexpectedly, Rachel even spoke in the same tone as Ruan Chi, Shirley was embarrassed, and smiled: "Thank you for your help last night." ”
For her, the embarrassment that happened last night was definitely a stain on her life.
"Your Excellency, what the hell is going on?" The only one left here who didn't understand was Guldia.
"I'm sorry Sister Gulydia, here's how it happened......" Finally, with Rachel's explanation, Gulydia knows what happened last night.
After hearing this, Gulydia suddenly realized, "It turns out that you are here to track down those reformers. ”
The matter of transforming people Ruan Chi had already mentioned it to everyone in the envoy group, so Guldia quickly thought of where the Platinum Group was.
"Since it was done by the Platinum Group, I also want to help." Rachel then stepped forward.
Although Shirley didn't want too many people to get involved in this matter, Ruan Chi patted his chest and packed tickets for the two women, saying that their strength was good, so she could rest assured.
In desperation, Shirley had no choice but to agree.
Rachel and Guldia join the search, and the four then split into two teams, each searching for a direction. Ruan Chi deliberately put himself in a group with Rachel, and the two soon came to the other side of the business district.
There were only the two of them left here, and Ruan Chi then walked up to Rachel's side and said with a smile, "You looked pretty cute just now." ”
"Cute?" Rachel's attention was all on the search, and she didn't pay attention to what Ruan Chi said.
"yes, you just drank vinegar and looked so cute." Ruan Chi continued.
When Rachel heard this, she almost choked on her saliva, and turned around and shouted, "When will I drink vinegar, and whose vinegar will I drink?" Don't talk nonsense. ”
After saying that, Rachel felt her cheeks hot, and she screamed in her heart: bastard, always say something inexplicable.
"Still don't admit it? Just now you were obviously drinking my vinegar with Shirley, and you said that we were both dating, and that tone was almost sour to death. ”
"I ...... I just can't see you hanging on to you, telling us that you have personal matters to do, but you left me and Sister Gulydia to do those low-level adventure missions. ”
"Your mouth is hard enough, too." Seeing Rachel's stammering cuteness, Ruan Chi sighed helplessly, and suddenly turned to stare at her. (To be continued......)
