Chapter 196: Pearls (3)

"Pearls! Wasn't this found in the place where the Tibetan monk was found? I remember that this pearl was held by Brother Chang. Why, he gave the pearl to you. I'll just say that Brother Chang is different from you, does he like you? ”

Xing Ruyi almost came out with a black line.

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you must not say this. Your eldest brother's pearl is still on your eldest brother's body. The pearl in my hand was just given to me. ”

"Who is it? Is it a murderer? Xiao Yu quickly came over.

"How do I know, I'm not a fast catcher." Xing Ruyi received the pearl into the box and handed it to Xiao Yukuai: "Hard-working little brother run again, give this to your eldest brother." ”

"No need." Chang Tai stepped in from the outside: "There is nothing else to be found in the inn. ”

"If this Tibetan monk really has any shady deeds, he will not leave more information in the inn." Xing Ruyi thought for a while and asked Chang Tai: "Is there anything unusual about the Tibetan monk?" ”

"Unusual? In my opinion, he is unusual in every way. Xiao Yu said quickly.

"Net." Chang Tai walked to the round table, poured some water from the teacup on the table, and drew some patterns that resembled fishing nets with his fingers. "There is something like this on the face of that Tibetan monk."

"Painted?"

"No, it's a seal, a shallow seal."

"Inzi." Xing Ruyi tapped his chin: "When the heart stops beating, some people will twitch, and then their breathing will change from a normal rhythm to a rapid pace, followed by cold ears, blood changes in the body, and the throat will start to spasm, and then die." ”

Xing Ruyi turned around and looked at Chang Tai and the little catcher: "At this time, the pupils of the person, that is, the black eyeballs in the eyes, will turn into something like glass." Then, the skin of the deceased's whole body will change, and after a few sips of tea, the pupils will dilate and lose their luster, and the dark eyeballs will slowly flatten from the sphere. After a period of death, if the deceased has not been moved, corpse spots will gradually form. ”

"It's scary." Xiao Yu quickly hugged his arm: "But, shopkeeper, what does what you just said have to do with what the Tubo monk faces?" ”

"If the deceased's face had been lying downward during the time that he had not been moved, and it had just pressed against something like a fishing net, then he would have left these shallow marks on his face."

"Fishing nets?" Chang Tai's eyes lit up.

"Outside the city is the Luo River, and there should be gravel soil on the banks of the Luo River. Also, there should be a fisherman along the Luo River, and this fisherman should have a fishing net at home. Brother Chang might as well make a comparison to see if the things left on the face of this Tibetan monk are the same as the fishing nets. ”

"What if it's the same?" Xiao Yu asked quickly.

"What do you say?" Xing Ruyi asked the little catcher quickly.

"If so, it means that there were fishing nets near the scene of the murder of the Tibetan monk, or that the perpetrator was a fisherman."

"Why would a fisherman kill a foreign monk?" Xiao Yu quickly grabbed his hair: "What kind of grudge can this Tibetan monk have with a fisherman." ”

"Maybe it's an accident, maybe it's for money, anything is possible until the truth is revealed." Xing Ruyi thought for a while, and asked again: "Is there any fish in Yuelai Inn?" ”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yu quickly turned his face over.

"I haven't been to the Yuelai Inn you mentioned, but the general inns are divided into top-notch and accommodation. Whether it's the former or the latter, they will eat in the inn. Then let me ask you, does this Yuelai Inn make fish for guests to eat? ”

"Yes, and this Yuelai Inn is a must to make fish, and many people will buy it during the New Year's holidays. My mother also loves to eat, and I went to buy it once during the Chinese New Year, and I waited for a while. ”

"Then let me ask you again, where did all the fish in this Yuelai Inn come from? Did the guy in the inn go to buy it, or did the fisherman himself deliver it to the door? ”

"It was delivered to the door by the fisherman himself, I've seen it." Xiao Yu quickly raised his hand: "I have really seen it, the fishermen are all driving cars." This Yuelai Inn has a master who specializes in making fish, and that master is extremely picky about fish...... Brother Chang, Brother Chang, where are you going, I haven't finished saying this yet. ”

"Your eldest brother Chang has gone to find the murderer."

"Murderer? Who is the murderer? ”

"I don't know who the murderer is, but the suspect is very likely to deliver fish to the Yuelai Inn." Xing Ruyi hooked his fingers, approached Xiao Yu and whispered: "For the sake of you and me, I will mention you more." Is this fisher in a hurry to deliver fish to Yuelai Inn? Is this car going to pass through the city gate, through the moat? Then think about it, if there are fish in this car, will there be fishing nets too? ”

"So...... So......" Xiao Yukuai's eyes also lit up.

"Don't do that, hurry up and chase your big brother Chang." Xing Ruyi took two steps back, watched Xiao Yu quickly step out of the door, and ran to chase Chang Tai.

Turning around, intending to continue grinding the pearls, he saw the fox staring at the black damask box on the table.

"What's wrong? Is there anything unusual about this box? Xing Ruyi retreated to the fox and stared at the sunspot as well.

"It's not a box, it's a pearl in a box."

"Pearls? Are you nine-tailed foxes all clairvoyant? The lid of my box is so tight that you can tell it's a pearl inside!"

"If you have the cultivation like mine, you can see it." The fox blew, and the black brocade box opened, revealing the pearls inside: "This is the dead man's pearl." ”

"Dead Man's Bead?"

"It's the pearl worn by the dead, or the one who wore the pearl died. When the pearl is attached to the breath of death, it becomes a pearl of death. Such a dead pearl cannot be used by guests. ”

"What happens when you use it?"

"If you are unlucky, if you are dead."

"It's so serious." Xing Ruyi walked over and took a closer look at the pearl that had been left behind.

"This pearl is not something that most people can have." The fox explained: "Such a large pearl, and it is still a whole string, even in the palace, it is difficult to find. ”

"It's like you've been to the palace." Xing Ruyi's eyes lit up as soon as he finished speaking: "No, you really went to the palace?" Have you also walked through the treasury? Are there many treasures in it? Are there any particularly rare ones? You said that you finally went to the treasury, and you didn't know how to give me something. Although it is not good to steal people's things, it is not good to steal the emperor. Since ancient times, even the wisest emperor is the exploiting class, and no matter how good things are, it is a waste to put them in the treasury. Instead of staying in the emperor's treasury and getting lucky, it is better to give me this beauty who is good at discovering beauty. ”

looked at the fox, and then followed the fox's gaze to his ears, Xing Ruyi was suddenly a little shocked.

"No...... No way? Do you want to tell me that what I wear on my ears is what you came out of the palace? ”

The fox didn't answer, but the look in his eyes said it all.

Xing Ruyi hurriedly took off the earrings on his ears: "I've worn them for so long, will people recognize them?" If we recognize it, will the emperor send the Imperial Guards to arrest us? and then convicted of a crime, and finally cut you and me with a thousand cuts. ”

"Scared?" The fox asked.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid." Xing Ruyi hid the earrings in his sleeve.

"And who said those things just now?"

"Who said that?" Xing Ruyi smiled: "This is said to be done, and doing is not the same as doing." ”

"Wear it." The fox glanced at Xing Ruyi's sleeve, and the earrings that had just been taken off returned to her ears: "The emperor will not send the Imperial Forest Army to arrest you." ”

"Because the Emperor knows that the Imperial Guards can't beat you?"

"It's not." The fox gave a blank look: "Because the emperor doesn't know what is in his treasury at all." ”

Xing Ruyi first covered his mouth, and then laughed happily: "Then when you go next time, can you take me with you." When I used to watch dramas, the role I wanted to do the most was the kind of thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor. I didn't want to rob the emperor's treasury, I just wanted to go in and have a look. ”

"Whatever you want, I can bring it out for you. As for getting in? Forget it. I don't want to watch you turn into a hedgehog. ”

"Stabbing ......" Xing Ruyi thought about the appearance of being pierced by random arrows, but he still forgot it.

"Calligraphy and painting, jade, porcelain, bronze...... What is it that won't be crushed by space-time distortion when traveling back? Xing Ruyi looked at the fox's eyes and asked very seriously: "I don't need more, just bring two or three things back casually." These are all priceless, two or three things, how can you be a billionaire. ”

"In your world, such a precious thing is a state."

"Who said that, you watch those treasure appreciation programs, don't all the treasures brought by those people say that they are their own." Xing Ruyi wandered around the shop: "Every time I watch those shows, I feel depressed, those treasure holders, there are usually two explanations for the origin of the baby. One is bought by yourself, and the other is handed down from your ancestors. Whether I bought it myself or not, there is no way to verify, but this ancestor has passed it down, which makes me particularly wonder. You say, how did they keep it? Could it be that their ancestors have not gone through war and turmoil, and they have not gone through a special period? ”

"Special times?" The fox didn't quite understand the meaning of Xing Ruyi's words.

"You don't understand it, because you're not from my world, and you don't know what happened in that world. Just tell me what you can bring back. ”

"You want to go back?" The fox conjured into a human form, leaned over, and looked at Xing Ruyi.

"Think...... Actually, it's okay if you can't go back, as long as there is you, it's where I want to stay. Xing Ruyi bowed his head weakly, and hugged the fox's arm with dog legs.
