Chapter 1 The Pimped Chick
"There is a tragedy in the British community of Luoshan Street, please ask Miaohua to help. - Pollen (QQ: 250301218)"
Long Xirui looked at the message that Ye Tong forwarded to her on her phone.
"Ciri, it looks like your fans are coming to the door this time." The sound of the night pupil came from the headphones, an electronic sound similar to that of a robot. "Xirui" is the name of the magical superwoman in the cartoon "The Extraordinary Princess - Xirui", which was all the rage in China in the 80s. But if you compare Long Xirui to Superwoman, it is not an exaggeration.
"Then borrow your auspicious words, and I will go and meet this 'pollen'." Long Xirui said as she walked into the bustling Oxford Square in front of her.
"I'm helping you locate, as long as your fans log in to QQ, even if they are invisible, I can find this 'pollen'. Then again, why did you choose such a crowded place? β
"Maybe it's an ulterior motive." Long Xirui said as she pressed a pinhole camera bug to the button on her chest, which looked like a speck of dust.
βYesοΌβ The electronic tone of the night pupil was an octave higher, "The target is locked, turn left and move forward 30.1 meters." β
"Is that the blonde with the flowers?" Long Xirui looked at a girl in white not far away and said. I saw that her long blond hair hung down to her chest, her ears were hidden in her hair, but she revealed huge rice-shaped earrings, and a pair of pink boots were particularly eye-catching.
Through the pinhole camera, the night pupil could see everything in front of Long Xirui. βBingoοΌ Ciri, your visual perception of distance is almost as good as that of satellites. β
"Instead of complimenting me, let's take a good look at this 'pollen' cutie!" Long Xirui straightened the button on his chest.
"Shhhh I've told her on QQ that you've arrived. β
Before the words fell, the girl who was looking around glanced at the ringing mobile phone, and greeted Long Xirui from the front with joy on her face. "Detective Miaohua, I finally saw you today, I've been waiting for this side for a long time." A bouquet of colorful flowers was handed to Long Xirui.
"You've flattered me!" Long Xirui passively took the flower, "You are pollen?" β
"yes, can you take a picture with me?" Without waiting for Long Xirui to answer, Pollen had already turned around and hugged her side by side, taking a few photos with her mobile phone.
"I heard that there was a tragedy in the British community." The smile on Long Xirui's face began to exude a serious flavor.
"Oh! I almost forgot about it. Pollen said and slipped her a note, "This is the address of the person who asked for you." Seeing Long Xirui's slightly questioning eyes, she continued, "I'm just a middleman, and more importantly, I want to see you, so I sent a letter to others by the way." Okay, my wish has come true, don't delay you to solve the case, Detective Miaohua, my idol. β
At the same time that the pollen gave a flying kiss and then turned to leave, the electronic voice of the night pupil sounded in the earphones: "This chick can only be regarded as mediocre except for heavy makeup and hard work." However, this is the first time I have seen a fan deliver a letter part-time. β
"She's also a part-time pickpocket." Long Xirui said calmly while looking at the address on the note.
"Haha! Doesn't stealing your stuff mean that everything is under your control? β
"She did make a premeditated appointment to meet here, and I hope my feet are not slow."
By this time, the pollen had disappeared from the crowd, and she turned left and right into an inconspicuous alley, with a smug smile on her face, huge earrings swaying on her shoulders with her steps, and a dusty thing stuck to the center of the rice shape.
"Jenny, guess who I cut today? β¦β¦ It's a wonderful flower detective! β
"Yo! Hua cub, I can't see that you really have two hits, even the famous Miaohua Detective has been tricked, you should change your name to 'Flower Picking Thief'." β
"Detective Miaohua, that's it! Alas, the cut person is small, and it depends on what kind of goods are cut...... The wallet looks like a brand, but unfortunately the cash is pitiful. Hua Cub was talking on the phone as she flipped through a delicate leather wallet with her other hand, and suddenly she took out a coin-like object from it. What is this, like a coin, with a dragon on one side and a flower on the other. She said as she shoved the coin to her mouth and bit it, "It's hard to die, it's not gold or silver, so I have to hope it's an antique." β
"The things of the wonderful flower detective, even if they are put up for auction online, they are worth a few dollars!"
"Whatever, anyway, the 3,000 yuan intermediary fee of the old man has already arrived." She said proudly, not knowing that her every word and every move was being transmitted to Long Xirui and Night Pupil through the pinhole camera bug on the earring.
"This chick's name is Hua Cub, do you guess it's Andy Lau's daughter or Hua Shao's sister." Night Hitomi said.
"No kidding, look up her information." Long Xirui stared at the slowly moving red dot on the phone, and the red dot corresponded to Hua Cub'er's location.
"It takes some time to get her ID number through QQ and then enter the database of the personnel department."
"I'm still more than 500 meters away from her, the old rule, who is first."
"Don't run away."
"Deal." Long Xirui said lightly, fluttering like a feather on the back seat of the bicycle driven by a boy who looked like a high school student passing by her. "Handsome brother, give my sister a ride."
The boy looked back at her in surprise, sniffled, and said stupidly, "Sister, you are so fragrant!" β
"Be careful!" At Long Xirui's prompting, the boy's car passed by an oncoming truck.
In another space, a huge wall is covered with more than a dozen display screens, some of which are playing images from the camera on the button on Long Xirui's chest, some are playing images from the camera on Hua Xiaoer's earrings, some are showing satellite maps and two red dots that are approaching, and some are full of numbers cracking passwords.
"me!" Night Hitomi protested loudly.
"I'm almost there."
The boy didn't know that Long Xirui was talking to the night pupil, and turned his head again, with more layers of spring heart in his eyes.
"Turn right at the intersection ahead." Long Xirui looked at his phone, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Handsome brother, can you go faster?" "Obviously, the off-string sound is for the night pupils.
"No problem, Sister Liang." As soon as the words fell, the bicycle made a sharp turn, and the two wheels spun, as if adding a throttle, and accelerated away. Long Xirui's long hair fluttered in the wind, and she felt a little like flying.
"Count you ruthless!" The angry night pupil seemed to be a little helpless.
Long Xirui saw that the red dot on the phone corresponding to Hua Cub'er's direction had been rounded to the front from another alley, so she said to the boy: "Thanks, handsome brother, it's time for me to get out of the car." β
The boy braked sharply in a hurry, and the wheels "rattled" slid a mark on the ground, and when he looked back, Long Xirui was already standing at the street corner in the distance and smiling at him.
"Sister Liang, can you tell me your name?"
"Just call me Sister Liang, handsome brother, there will be a period later."
Under the boy's reluctant gaze, Long Xirui turned around and entered the alley.
At this time, Hua Cub and Jenny's phone call had not yet ended. "I'm a little thirsty, wait for me to buy a cup of milk tea...... Hey! What about my wallet? β
Suddenly, a red wallet appeared in front of Hua Cub'er's eyes, she was first happy, and then her face changed greatly. "Detective Wonderful Flowers! How could my wallet end up with you? β
"Courtesy is still exchanged." Long Xirui smiled slightly, she held the purse in her right hand, and stretched out her left palm upwards and forward.
Hua Xiao'er consciously put the stolen wallet in her hand, and then went to grab herself, but Long Xirui put her right hand back and said, "Eh! The wallet can be given to you, but is there something in it that should be returned to its original owner? β
"I don't know what you're talking about." Hua Xiao'er pretended to have an inexplicable expression, but under the curly eyelashes, a pair of small eyeballs were dripping and rolling in the eye sockets.
Night Pupil's voice came from the headphones again: "Xirui, it turns out that this chick has a criminal record, this is her file: Mei Lihua, 19 years old this year, became an orphan when she was very young, and was once re-educated through labor for theft, and her nicknames on the road are cub Zihua and Hua cub ......"
Long Xirui drew a scoop according to the gourd, and roughly retold the words of the night pupil, but he had already heard Hua Cub'er's face pale. "You...... You ......"
"Don't forget, I'm a private investigator. Mr. Pi's 3,000 yuan ......"
"As long as you go to his house according to the address on the note, the money is mine. The real price is clear, fair and reasonable. β
"I can't imagine that it's really expensive to pull a tired (skin) strip for me!" Long Xirui learned from the note that the person who really invited him was called Pi Shenglao, and she had just overheard the 3,000 yuan "intermediary fee" of Old Man Pi mentioned by Hua Cub on the phone, plus there were indeed a dozen thick bills in her wallet, and she had already guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
"No wonder people say, 'If you have three points of effort, you are afraid that there will be nothing difficult in the world.'" When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name. Count me as admitting it, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it. Hua Cub said as she clenched her hands into fists and sent out, while lowering her head and stretching her neck forward. Whether to send me to the public security bureau, or to testify on the spot. β
Long Xirui stuffed the wallet into Hua Cub'er's hand with her right hand, patted her shoulder with her left hand, and said, "The thing belongs to the old owner, and naturally you can return your innocence, just like now." β
She lightly retracted her jade arm, and there was an extra rice-shaped earring in her left hand for no reason, and in the blink of an eye, the earrings disappeared without a trace, and she saw Hua Xiao'er open her mouth and stammer, stunned. Long Xirui smiled leisurely, opened her right hand, and the earrings hung down from between her fingers. "Isn't magic tricking more elegant and fun than stealing?"
"If you'll teach me magic, I'll swear never to steal again." Hua Cub wanted to kneel down to worship the teacher as she spoke, but was supported by Long Xirui.
"Let's solve the tragedy in the British community first, and then I'll introduce you to a real magician." Unconsciously, the earrings had returned to Hua Xiao'er's earlobes, but the dusty grain was missing from the center of the rice shape.
Speaking of the tragedy, a frightened expression flashed in Hua Cub'er's eyes, which made Long Xirui's face change slightly. "Can you tell us about that tragedy?"
"It's Mr. Pi's daughter, who had her legs amputated."
