I gave him a blank look: "Do you want to make an alchemy, or give yourself a champion?" ”

"Point champion? I'm not the material for reading, but I want to do alchemy, but I can't...... I just wanted to do something like that. ”

I wondered, "Whose chastity do you want to test?" ”

"Don't say it so badly...... Am I going to find a wife in the future? So how do I know if she's pure or not? ”

"I can't see that you still have a virgin complex, let me tell you, it's no drama - do you know how Shougong Sand is made?"

Li Yi shook his head.

According to the Jin Dynasty's "Naturalist Chronicles", it is recorded that if a female gecko is in estrus and fed with cinnabar, the gecko's whole body will turn red. After eating seven catties of cinnabar, the gecko is smashed and pounded thousands of pestles, and then the virgin's limbs are dyed with it, and the color will not fade. It is only after intercourse that the color fades and fades, so it is called 'Shougong Sand' - notice the key? ”

Li Yi still shook his head: "What's the key, isn't it just a matter of catching a gecko?" ”

I pointed to the cinnabar powder on the ground: "Let's not say whether this legend is true or not, even if it is true - it will take seven catties of cinnabar!" Do you see seven pounds here? It's not enough for you to take it all to Hoho. Alright, don't think about crookedness, hurry up and help me pack my things! Otherwise, I'll tell the old man that you kid covets his precious cinnabar and asks him to talk to you at night! ”

Li Yi lowered his head and smiled, and after a while, he suddenly said "Huh", picked up a note from the red cinnabar powder, and brought it to me-

"Brother Ji, why are the words on this note like blood?"

I looked up and chuckled in my heart—

The note that was held by Li Yi on his fingertips was not the same note that Zhang Hui handed me at the beginning?!

But I remember that the note was originally blank!

Since there was more urgency to do, and after that incident was over, Shen Tangzhi and Hyde returned, bringing even more shocking news—I didn't have time to study the note again.

But I didn't expect that by mistake, Li Yi actually inadvertently helped me solve the mystery of the blank note.

I hurriedly took the note, only to see that the words on it were indeed as Li Yi said, bright as blood, and the handwriting had not yet fully appeared, it looked like there was an invisible hand, holding a pen and writing on the paper, which was very weird.

I wiped the handwriting with my fingers, dipped some to the tip of my nose and smelled it, and my heart suddenly dawned.

Li Yi on the side looked at me like this and asked, "Brother Ji, this note is very important?" What did you find? ”

"This is something that was given to me by the criminal in the previous case, and it has something to do with some previous things. These handwritings turned out to be the use of fairy toad blood - you knocked over this jar of cinnabar by mistake, but it helped me a lot. ”

I told Li Yi that the so-called "fairy toad blood" refers to the blood of a special breed of gecko. This kind of gecko is transparent, and golden spots will grow on the skin over time, and when the number of golden spots grows to ninety-nine eighty-one, it will become a fairy toad.

This kind of blood was used to write ciphertext in ancient times, and only when it was smeared with dansha powder on the surface of the paper, the ciphertext would appear.

Li Yi took a deep breath, his mouth was amazed, and he and I set our eyes on the note.

The text on the note finally showed its full picture, only to see a few words and phrases written on it, divided into three lines, in addition to symbols.

The first line reads: [Roanoke Island]

The second row is a string of numbers for the suspected year: [1585-1590], [1982]

The third line is two nouns, written below the two strings of numbers in the previous line: [Walter Expedition], [Irrejo Archaeological Mission]

Underneath the [Walter Expedition] and [Irrero Archaeological Mission] are dense cross symbols, I counted them, there are a total of 23 cross symbols under [Walter Expedition], and 3 under [Irrero Archaeological Mission].

Li Yi looked at it for a long time, then turned his head and asked me, "Brother Ji, what the hell is written on it?" I don't understand it at all. ”

I also fell into deep thought, and the blood on the note was only familiar with the word "Ilrero" - Shen Tangzhi showed me a text message sent to her by K, which contained the words "Ilrero's dream", and this note read "Ilrero Archaeological Group......

Sure enough, is Ilray a human name?

But I have so little information that the prompts are jumpy and messy, and I can't read them at all.

The premise of a jigsaw puzzle is that you must have at least all the pieces of the picture, otherwise you can't start it.

I chose to leave the puzzle on hold for now, waiting for more information.

"You can understand the ghosts." I put away the note, "Alright, hurry up and get to work, I've got something to do after I move." ”

……

After this episode, I felt that I couldn't leave most of the things in the house, but I still had to take everything I could—in case the repairmen accidentally broke me or took something away, it would be a problem.

I have a lot of bits and pieces in my house, not to say how valuable they are, because although many things are antiques, they can't be regarded as antiques.

For example, my master also left me a large jar of "heaven and earth water" – that is, a mixture of "rootless water" and "earth spring water".

In the eyes of outsiders, it is not just a mess of white water, but also with a smell of old rancidness.

But this thing is a priceless treasure in the eyes of my master, and I have heard my master blow that his rootless water is taken from the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, and the earth spring water is taken from the glacier underground river of Kunlun Mountain, which is not at all comparable to ordinary heaven and earth water.

There are many similar things......

Eventually, we filled the broken van where we had gluten and cleared two rooms from Old Knife, one for my temporary bedroom and the other for my "treasures".

Just to carry things, the four of us plus the old knife, up and down three times.

When we finished moving the last bit of things, we collectively collapsed on the sofa in the old knife studio.

"Aji, it's really terrible to help you move—where did your master get so many old rotten grains?" The old knife lamented with a cigarette in his mouth.

I gave him a roll of the eyes: "You want to know?" Wouldn't it be nice to go down and ask him about the old man. ”

The old knife said hesitantly: "I can't ask, I can't ask." ”

As he was talking, Lao Dao's phone rang, and when he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, his brows furrowed.

I asked, "What's wrong?" Creditor phone number? ”

"Pretty much - it's a terrible customer." The old knife turned over the phone, rested it on the sofa, didn't answer the phone, turned to me and said, "It's just that you're here, you come to judge - in our detective industry, are there any forced buyers and sellers?" ”

The meaning of Lao Dao's sentence is that someone has to accept a certain commission - but in the detective industry, whether or not you can accept a certain commission generally depends only on the detective's ability and willingness.

You can look for something else, but you don't have to say it to anyone.

Strictly speaking, to accept the commission is to sign a contract, both parties need to make some agreements in advance - especially some of the commissions that may appear evil, it is very important to agree in advance on what circumstances the detective can withdraw from the commission, which will directly affect the personal safety and professional reputation of the detective, and a reputable detective is undoubtedly a golden business card in the industry.

I said, "Difficult commission? ”

The old knife shook his head: "It's not difficult." ”

"Don't give money?"

"Not bad money."

"Client, male, female?"

"Female."

"Giant ugly?"

"It's beautiful."

Rich and beautiful female customers, the difficulty of entrusting is not high, why not take it?

I wondered, "Could it be that you have a grudge?" ”

The old knife still shook his head: "There is no hatred in the distance, and there is no resentment today." ”

I grinned, "So you're sick?" ”

The old knife threw a sofa cushion directly at me: "Fuck off, I just don't want to take this business, and I don't want to take any amount of money!" ”

……

Ten minutes later, a glamorous lady wearing a designer dress threw a large bag of money on Lao Dao's desk.

"It's 200,000 here."

The glamorous lady found a chair to sit down, elegantly folding a pair of slender legs wrapped in black silk.

"Deposit."

She added.
