Half an hour later, half a catty of cinnabar was packed in a beautiful black box and placed on the table, which was also carved with golden lines, which was very elegant, and the workmanship of this box alone was good.

The sales lady wore black and white silk gloves on both hands, showing her professionalism.

"Sir, this is half a pound of cinnabar for you."

Li Changqing opened the exquisite box, half a catty of cinnabar lay quietly inside, and he asked, "Can I inspect the goods?" ”

"Naturally."

In the previous life, cinnabar was counterfeit and shoddy, not to mention such an expensive price in this world.

A lot of shoddy cinnabar, are colored sand powder glue, to make it hard, cinnabar content is almost none, the batch he bought before, because of inexperience, there are a lot of fakes, many of the original successful talismans, just because of those adulterated cinnabar to destroy.

The sales lady professionally took out a piece of white paper, placed a little cinnabar on the white paper, and heated it with a lighter, and the cinnabar on the paper gradually changed from dark red to black.

When she stopped heating, the color of the cinnabar changed from black to dark red, and there was no color left on the white paper, clean and white.

It's true.

If it is a fake and inferior product, it will change from the original dark red to black when heated, and it cannot be restored after leaving the flame, and the white paper will also be dyed pale red.

Pouring the cinnabar on the white paper back into the box, the sales lady smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, the cinnabar in our store is of the highest quality, and you are welcome to continue to come to us to purchase next time." ”

Li Changqing also took out two stacks of Lang coins, and after paying, he walked out of the store with the box.

Tang Xiaoyu's voice sounded from inside the fedora: "Li Changqing, what are you spending so much money on cinnabar, just to paint those weird things?" ”

"That's called a talisman."

Li Changqing hummed a small song, and he was in a good mood, the amount of this batch was enough for him to use for a long time.

"Li Changqing?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him, and he followed the voice.

This is a man in a black suit, wearing a blue bow, with shiny hair, a high nose, blue eyes, and an unusually handsome appearance, similar to a European in a previous life.

From his memory, Li Changqing quickly remembered who this was.

Kelly. Locetti.

It is said that his ancestor was a noble baron of the Lamela Empire, and his family sent him to study in Nanlin City of the Suzaku Federation, but as a result, he was obsessed with becoming a detective like himself, and after studying abroad, he did not choose to go home to inherit the family business, but stayed in Nanlin City and became a detective.

They initially worked and studied in the same detective agency, but after Li Changqing left that detective agency and opened the Evergreen Detective Agency on his own, the two had less contact, and only occasionally called to say hello.

"Ah, my God, I met you here." Kelly. Locsidi happily stepped forward and asked, "We haven't seen each other for almost a year, right?" Have a drink? ”

"I've got something to do."

Li Changqing opened his mouth and refused, Kelly. Luo Saidi is the friend of Li Changqing before, and the relationship between the two is familiar, in case the other party sees any clues, such as his strange behavior, if it is different from the previous Li Changqing, it is difficult to explain.

This Kelly. Unlike his sisters and sisters, and even Tang Xiaoyu, Luo Saidi is a detective.

Detectives will discover many details that ordinary people don't notice.

"Let's go, have a drink with me, I haven't met you in a long time."

Kelly. Lo Saidi warmly pulled him towards a tavern that had been opened along the street.

This pub is not large, about 60 square meters, and there is a circular bar in the middle of the store, around which many customers sit down, and the waiters at the bar are mixing all kinds of wine.

The business in the store is not bad, and there are many similar taverns in the Suzaku Federation, and many people will sit down and have a drink with friends when they are tired of walking.

Having been pulled in by this enthusiastic fellow, he could only sit down.

"Hello, two glasses of rosette." Kelly. Lo Saidi raised his hand and took out twenty yuan and placed it on the bar.

The waiter smiled and took the Lang coin, and soon, two glasses of rose wine were placed in front of the two.

This cup is quite generous, similar to the large cup of draft beer in the previous life.

Despite its elegant name, rosette is one of the best spirits.

Thinking back to his previous memories, Li Changqing smiled and said, "Kelly, didn't you say before that nobles don't drink this kind of spirit?" ”

"My father also said that nobles can't be detectives, shouldn't I be too?" Kelly. Locetti picked up the rose liquor and took a sip, closing his eyes and feeling the heat of the liquor from the tip of his tongue and throat: "This wine is much better than the wine stored in the wine cabinet under my house." ”

"Really?" Li Changqing smiled, picked up the wine and took a sip, he didn't have any interest in the wine, but it tasted much better than raw glutinous rice.

Kelly. Luo Saidi is a talker, and he has been chatting with Li Changqing and asking him about his current situation.

Even when talking about the past, it's more about Kelly. Luo Saidi's exclamation also happened to allow Li Changqing to collect a lot of information.

Spirits belly, Kelly. Luo Saidi's face turned a little rosy: "By the way, do you remember, our previous teacher said that I had a fatal flaw and could never become a qualified detective, I just want to prove it to him, and sometimes shortcomings can also come in handy." ”

Li Changqing in his mind, he didn't recall any shortcomings in him, although he was a down-and-out nobleman, but Kelly. Luo Saidi is also a nobleman, handsome, tall, young and golden, approachable, and does not casually put on the stinky shelf of the nobles, as if he is a person with no shortcomings?

"Haven't you forgotten what the teacher said about my fatal flaw as a detective?" Kelly. Luo Saidi stared at Li Changqing in astonishment.

Li Changqing coughed: "It seems to remember." ”

Kelly. Luo Saidi said distressedly: "The detective should hide in the crowd, not easily detected, so that he can easily follow the clues, the teacher said that I was too handsome, too conspicuous in the crowd, because of this shortcoming, he also said that I can never become a qualified detective, my friend, you know, because of this incident, I cried all night." ”

Li Changqing: "......"

He tried to smash the beer mug on the guy's head and turned away.

But this guy is really handsome.

Kelly. Lo Sedi: "But I've been able to make perfect use of my shortcomings to facilitate the investigation. ”

Li Changqing asked curiously: "How to use it?" ”

Being handsome can also help with the investigation of the case?

Kelly. Locetti smiled mysteriously and pointed to a woman in the corner of the tavern.

The woman was very young and fashionable, wearing a white cheongsam, a light blue shawl, holding a wine glass in her hand, and looking out the window with a somewhat melancholy gaze.

"It's a man." Kelly. Locetti said mysteriously, "Do you believe it? ”

"How do you tell?"

Li Changqing took a look, obviously she is a beauty, but she is a little flat, but she can't say that she is a man, right?

Kelly. Luo Saidi: "As the eldest son of the Luo Saidi family, an elegant and handsome nobleman, when she looked at me, she didn't stop at all, which is enough to show that she is definitely not a woman, normal women will shine when they see me." ”

This narcissistic guy!

Li Changqing's face darkened, and he wanted to punch the nobleman.
