Chapter XXVII
I stared at Sister Lan tightly, thinking that she would ask some valuable questions, but she was just to ask about the time of dinner!
Hearing her ask, I almost fell to the ground.
The housekeeper also looked a little caught off guard, but he immediately showed a very gentlemanly smile and said, "It's half past eleven o'clock in the afternoon, if Miss Jin is hungry, I can ask the pastry chef to prepare some black tea and desserts for you first." ”
Sister Lan directly ignored the housekeeper's words and said, "Then there are still nearly three hours to go before the meal, and I can search the yard during this time, right?" ”
I saw that the housekeeper was obviously stunned for a moment, and I didn't actually expect Sister Lan to answer this way. However, this is like Sister Lan's character.
Actually, although I didn't say it, if Sister Lan enjoyed the luxury of capitalism like this group of demon slayers who always felt a little unreliable in my eyes for some reason, I would still be a little disappointed in her heart.
The housekeeper looked at Sister Lan for a long time, then showed a smile and said kindly: "Miss Jin is worthy of being a famous witch, and among the demon slayers who came to help us solve the problem this time, you were the first to propose to explore. ”
Sister Lan sneered, I looked at her disdainful expression, it seemed that she didn't even bother to explain.
I thought that Sister Lan would be very proud when she heard this kind of praise, but it was beyond my expectations.
"Before 11:30, of course, you are completely free to search this villa, if you come across some inaccessible rooms or areas, please contact me in time."
After that, the housekeeper also took out a pitch-black radio from his body, and after Sister Lan took it, she threw it to me.
"Then, Miss Jin, this time, I'll leave it to you."
When Sister Lan and I were about to leave, the old butler had no smile on his face, and bowed deeply to us very solemnly.
When I followed Sister Lan out of the house and came to the courtyard outside, I finally couldn't help but ask questions.
"I said, Sister Lan, are those people also demon slayers like you?"
Sister Lan glanced at me and said lightly, "What do you think?" ”
I thought for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "It looks like that, but ......"
"But what?"
I gritted my teeth and said frankly: "Why do I always think that those guys are particularly unreliable? ”
The reason why I feel this way is because I felt a feeling similar to that of Master Yuan I met in the Hong family from the group of "demon slayers" just now.
Sister Lan raised her eyebrows, and then looked at my gaze, which gave her a little softness, and the pretty face that had been tense was also relieved.
"I don't think that those guys are liars - to put it bluntly, they are here to make a fortune and extort money. You should also see that this is a rich family. ”
"Eldest sister, I'm not blind, with the scale of other people's wealth, it is estimated that I can't catch up with it even if I bury my head in making money and earn ten lifetimes." I joked to myself.
Sister Lan walked to the small fountain just now, sat next to her, and leisurely took out a cigarette case from her pocket and lit a lady's cigarette for herself.
"Not to mention anything else, you kid still has a good eye, at least you don't think of me and this group of guys as the same kind of people. Otherwise, Grandma, I'm going to make your ass bloom! ”
Saying that, Sister Lan also raised her little hand threateningly, and I had to respond with a wry smile.
"But Sister Lan, how did you tell if these people were fakes?"
I'm really curious, because I just intuitively feel that these people are unreliable, but Sister Lan obviously has a basis.
"There's so much evidence, so much evidence that I can't even count it." As she spoke, Sister Lan took a deep breath of her cigarette, and her willow eyebrows also frowned.
"Starting from the clothes you wear, to the styling, the magic weapons, the staffing, every move...... Anyway, you just remember that those people just now were all charlatans. ”
I nodded silently, looking at Sister Lan's gaze, I couldn't help but feel a little more admiration. Either that this person with real material is different, with Sister Lan by my side, I also feel an inexplicable sense of security.
"Sister Nalan, do you think we should tell Mrs. An that these people are all fake and shoddy?"
I originally thought that Sister Lan must have gone with me, but I didn't expect Sister Lan to shake her head very firmly.
"No, never."
“…… Yes? Why, do you want to watch people being cheated alive? ”
Sister Lan also glanced at me while smoking a cigarette, and said, "You are still inexperienced-in my opinion, whether it is Mrs. An or that housekeeper, in fact, they all know that those guys are unreliable." ”
“…… What? I was stunned, and I couldn't help but be a little confused.
Know? Know that they are still here?
"You just think it's self-deception."
After that, Sister Lan also smiled lightly, and her expression was somewhat helpless.
"When ordinary people encounter this kind of evil thing, they will inevitably panic and lose their minds, not to mention that it has not been a day or two since this family has been entangled by monsters...... At such times, it is not incomprehensible that they want to gather the number of people to make themselves feel as safe as possible. ”
"This is a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer?" I said speechlessly.
"In fact, many people are like this, especially in our industry, you will encounter a lot of this situation after a long time, didn't I ask Mrs. An once just now? Do you remember? ”
"Remember, you asked her what she meant."
Sister Lan nodded slightly, and said, "Actually, the meaning of my sentence is also asking her, do you know that these people are fake." ”
I was a little surprised, after all, I didn't think about it that much.
"That woman has been entangled in unclean things for so long, I guess there are many fakes and shoddy ones - but she still chose to invite so many so-called 'demon slayers' at such a costly price, in fact, the intention is already obvious."
"Hmm...... I see. I hugged my chest and nodded silently, feeling that I had learned something.
Indeed, just like Sister Lan said, it is understandable if you think about it. Even if those guys are fakes, Sister Lan and I actually believe in this matter 100%, and it is quite troublesome to explain it to this ordinary person.
So at that time, it was easy to encounter the situation of a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the good heart.
This side is obviously kindly telling her that those guys are liars, but from the client's standpoint, it is actually difficult to fully believe this party's statement.
Who knows that this seemingly well-meaning person may not be blowing the pillow wind in his ears for his own performance?
Besides, if you spend this money yourself, even if you are deceived, it can be said that you spend it to buy a peace of mind, and others can't care about it.
After grasping the situation, I looked at Sister Lan and said, "Then Sister Lan, how will we treat those guys in the future?" ”
Sister Lan extinguished her cigarette, smiled lightly, and said, "Don't treat them much, just treat them as air, ignore them, and it's OK to ignore them completely." ”
I couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really like your style." ”
"Hmph, auntie, I don't have time to mess around with that kind of bad fortune."
After that, Sister Lan also stood up and beckoned to me, "Let's go, little soil bun, I'll take you to do a scene investigation." ”
"I said that my name is Zhang Jun!" I looked at Sister Lan's dashing back speechlessly, sighed and chased after her.
If I were to say that the world of the rich was different from us civilians, I saw a lake surrounded by green woods.
I've only seen this kind of lake in the midst of beautiful nature, but his grandmother's servant, who I just met, actually said it was an artificial lake.
In other words, this place was dug up by the owner of this villa, Mrs. An's husband.
Your sister, what's wrong with this money! I looked at the calm surface of the lake and roared in my heart.
But I have to say that this lake is quite beautiful and very meaningful.
If I hadn't remembered that I was here to get rid of demons, it would have seemed like a good date here. Ignoring Sister Lan's character, she is a first-class beauty.
At this time, Sister Lan, who was walking by the lake, suddenly bent down, squatted on the edge of the lake and began to dig something on the ground with her bare hands.
"Sister Lan, what are you doing...... No way! It stinks, what is this! ”
Curious, I looked over to see it, but before I could see it, I smelled a very strong stench - it felt like rotten eggs had been boiled at high temperatures.
Damn, it's the first time I've been stinky and my nose hurts.
Tears couldn't stop flowing from my eyes, and I took a few steps back in fright, and then I saw Sister Lan turn around expressionlessly.
"The internal organs of animals, looking like this, have been rotting for at least two weeks."
Sister Lan looked down at the black thing mixed with wet soil in her hand, her expression did not waver at all, and she looked very serious.
"Then what are you digging out for! Don't throw it away yet! ”
Sister Lan glanced at me with disdain and said, "The old man can't even bear this level of things...... Come here! Put it in a bag for me. ”
After that, Sister Lan also pointed to the bag on my body and motioned for me to take out the plastic bag from it.
"You're still putting this thing up?! Why do you still want to take it home to make wine! I looked at Sister Lan with round eyes and shouted angrily.
"Less nonsense, you are now my assistant, I will do whatever you want to do!" Sister Lan snorted coldly and forced towards me.
"I'm not your assistant, I'm here to find a demon! I'm not here to help you satisfy this perverted hobby! ”
"You're the one who has a perverted penchant for collecting this disgusting stuff! I said that your kid is also a descendant of the underground burial master, and you can't reason for such an obvious strangeness? ”
When Sister Lan's eyes showed a look of reprimand, I couldn't help but be stunned, and then came back to my senses.
By the way, we're here to investigate the scene.
I frowned and stared at the black thing in Sister Lan's hand, and forced it to put it in the bag despite the feeling of nausea.
I deliberately packed it in three plastic bags. But when I put it in the bag I was carrying, I still felt a strong stench.
"Sister Lan...... Can you tell me what's wrong? ”
After watching Sister Lan wash her hands by the lake, I gradually eased up, and the feeling of nausea disappeared a lot.
"I really can't do anything about your little dirt bun, I'm stupid...... That's the entrails of rotting animals, right? ”
After wiping her hands with a handkerchief, Sister Lan gave me a blank look, stood up and looked at me and said.
"You say yes."
Sister Lan's eyes showed a solemn look, and then she pointed to the clean lawn and forest that was trimmed behind her, and said, "Then do you think that in a high-end villa like this, there will be wild dogs and wild cats?" ”
I couldn't help but be stunned, and then subconsciously looked around.
Although the place was wide, it was clearly well cared for, and servants could be seen cleaning and tidying up at intervals.
