The people of one town have taken too much salt and are in an exaggerated state. Zhou Shu felt that everyone around him had a very strict sense of taste, and it was impossible not to make the people in Traveler Town vigilant, but the fact was that they just didn't have the slightest self-awareness, thinking that it was only temporary, and it would be cured quickly like a cold.

Miss Cai grabbed the letter and shook it around Zhou Shu and the grocery store owner in front of her, "I know, who is the person who wrote the letter!"

Zhou Shu and the grocery store owner spread their hands, and at the same time said that they were illiterate, and then the two received a disdainful glance from Miss Cai.

"Let's learn more!"

Miss Choi is not a good detective. She asked the grocery store owner to help her, found some acquaintances of the bookstore owner, and showed them the letter.

In a small town, everyone basically knew each other, and it was not difficult to find people, and soon a few men who were obviously short-sighted but had no glasses to wear were called. A group of people with a lot of myopia seems to be stuck in the pile of books, Miss Cai can't believe that there are so many people reading in the town, she has always doubted whether the bookstore is profitable, but now she looks at it because she is mentally retarded.

Several people gathered together, holding the past accounts of the bookstore and some books annotated by the boss, and comparing the notes. After the bookstore family died, they were in charge of keeping the things, and they were going to go to Kaiwon Castle next week to find the owner's eldest son and hand over the inheritance to him.

"Yes, we are convinced that it was written by Mathanel to his son. His tone and speech habits were also his, and he never called his sons by name, and no one generally did. ”

Zhou Shu inexplicably felt as if he was in a detective story, inexplicable deaths, suicide notes and strange things in the town, plus passing detectives and assistants, this routine was quite standardized.

Master Zhou has always felt that he is more suitable to be an assistant, and at this moment, he is completely nonsense, and some wrong options are for the detective master to exclude. By the way, she showed her wisdom, and this time Miss Cai really showed the aura of a detective. She was now pinching her chin, hesitating to ask the bookstore owner's friend. Can I visit his house, but I also want to know what happened to this boss yesterday.

"Suicide. There is a fire in the house, how can there be something to show you. A friend of the bookstore owner said angrily.

Zhou Shu became even more interested when he heard this, and the murder case was concealed as a suicide, and the plot trend became more and more biased towards his preferences. He excitedly said, "Is it really a suicide? What was his motive for committing suicide?"

As a detective, Miss Choi is also very irresponsible and thinks that it is suicide. There is no other reason, because she already has a suicide note in her hand, and the letter clearly states that when the recipient sees the letter. I'm dead.

"What does motive mean?" Several residents of Baiyue Country obviously hadn't watched film and television dramas with criminal investigation themes, and expressed puzzlement at the appearance of this word. After a little explanation, several old friends got together and discussed a result, a more past-a-side thing.

"I want to ...... I guess that's what happened......" they pointed to their tongues, "and it has something to do with this disease that we have somehow committed." ”

Several said that before the bookstore owner died, the sudden loss of taste was emphasized as a plague, as written in the letter. After this situation appeared, the bookstore owner has been claiming in the town that everyone is suffering from a highly contagious disease. The infection is similar to that of the flu, and the symptoms are just loss of taste in the early stage, but soon the eyes are bloodshot, vomiting blood, and the wound does not heal. Finally, of course, there is death.

The boss said. He had seen this from a miscellaneous book in the store a long time ago. However, he did not take out the book at the public trial, saying that there were too many books in Canada and that he had not found it, and that he might have sold it. ”

"Town Public Trial?!" Miss Cai was surprised by the word, "Did the bookstore owner go to the public trial?"

Traveler's Town is a self-governing town, and there are no nobles in the town. The town was originally formed by a group of merchants, and the town merchant guild took over some of the government's duties. Although they do not have the right to adjudicate and enforce the law, these are the rights of the state, but they have other rights.

The town public trial will be a case where everyone fights together. A place to express one's thoughts is a pretty useless thing. It's because it's useless. So it's all about to be forgotten by the townspeople. This time, the bookstore owner proposed a public trial on his own, and he made his point of view clear at the meeting. The whole town was sick, and was about to get bloodshot, coughing up blood, and hemolysis.

Such an alarmist thing was naturally laughed at, and the poor bookstore owner was ridiculed by the townspeople at the public trial.

"It's because of the whole. So he couldn't think of it, and committed suicide with his family?!" Miss Cai originally thought it was suicide, but now she decisively doesn't believe it. "He is a dead family, how can anyone donate his wife and children because of the whole thing?"

"It's also ......" A few friends of the bookstore owner surprisingly didn't insist at all, and they didn't convince in an instant. "Actually, we thought it was strange, but the people in the town thought they had committed suicide because of the whole choice. ”

Miss Cai shook the letter in her hand again, "And he also sent the whole thing to his eldest son, obviously not going to let him die." There is no reason to drag a family to death, but only let one son escape. ”

Zhou Shu also had an attitude towards this, he raised his hand on the side to speak, "That, I think, could it be that the bookstore owner was worried that his son would be disobedient and ran back to the town, so he deliberately said that he was dead? According to him, this plague should be incurable, right? So it's okay to think that he is dead, so he wrote this letter, but he didn't expect to die because of a fire at home." ”

Miss Cai and Zhou Shu were quite polite along the way, and there was not much communication. It wasn't until Zhou Shu said his guess that Miss Cai realized that the foreigner next to her seemed to be quite smart and thought of it with her.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou Shu, I think so too. ”

Miss Cai complimented her, making Zhou Shu feel more and more like a detective assistant. He had basically believed that there was a plague in this town, and Miss Cai believed it, and she dug out the cloth she had prepared before she dug out of her pocket and covered her face. The right is used as a mask.

As for the grocery store owner and the bookstore owner's friends, they apparently only treat these things as an after-dinner grinding, and not as if they were not the same thing at all.

In their opinion. The bookstore owner is just a bad luck guy who reads too many books. He believed the contents of the book, perhaps he was too frightened to knock over the lamp and cause a fire. Scare yourself. It's just an ordinary taste failure, and it will definitely get better in a few days.

After saying goodbye to these people, Cai and Zhou Shu hurriedly rushed back to the doctor's house. Along the way, the two of them were in a hurry, as if they were being urged, and Cai was still urging on the side.

"Mr. Zhou Shu, it's really not worth it for you to accompany me this time. What to do if you get infected. ”

Zhou Shu shook his hand and said it didn't matter, "I've been in good health since I was a child. I'm fine if everyone else has a cold. If this plague is as contagious as a cold, I think I'll be fine. But Miss Cai, aren't you going to tell me about the dragon?

Miss Cai's eagerness seemed to be wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Yes, I won't say it, because these people won't believe it, and if they do, it's even worse. ”

Her logic is very simple, these people who don't even believe in the plague that appears in front of them will naturally not believe in dragons without warning. And they were all sick, if they really fled the North Sea because of the dragon. It is estimated that the plague will spread to other places.

People who are so indifferent to their hometown, Zhou Shu is the first time to see him. He said it was unknown whether there was really a plague here. You can't just rely on the bookstore owner's memories from books. The dragon thing, what should be said or still said. And if the plague really existed, it is estimated that it would have spread long ago. When they first entered the town, the merchants' carriages walked along the three roads at the entrance of the town, and it was estimated that no place involved in the traveler's town could escape their source of infection.

On top of that, no one has ever said that Voyagertown is the source of the disease, and it may have been infected by people from other regions. In this case, it is no longer possible to control the disease area. So the dragon thing, just talk about it. It doesn't matter if the people here want to believe it or not.

Zhou Shu felt that this Beihai was still a little unlucky. Inexplicably, the symptoms of this condition appeared. He personally doesn't think this thing is a problem, and there are few people here who are freezing in the cold. The movement of people between different places is not very extensive, and he cannot be regarded as a plague in later generations.

He knew the history of Europe very well, and knew very well that the plague was basically difficult to wreak havoc on humans if it were not carried by animals such as rats or birds. Although the bookstore owner's claim that it is similar to the flu and human-to-human transmission may not be accurate, it seems that this can only be believed now, after all, there are no other clues to refer to.

Miss Cai still wasn't ready to mention the dragon's matter, it seemed that she had already made up her mind. She said that there were more important things to do by herself, and she pinched the letter again and said to Zhou Shu: "The two of us will go buy a bath bucket later, and then buy some firewood and salt." Remember what the letter said: The bookstore owner told his son to take a salt water bath, which probably would prevent him from being infected. You and I have to wash, there is a lake near the town, go there and wash it, away from the town. And the unlucky blue, she also has to wash. ”

Zhou Shu looked at the woman in front of him who was not blushing and her heart was not beating, and what was saying to herself, a big man, who was taking a hot bath in the wild, and always felt that this guy's personality seemed to be different from when he was smiling before.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhou Shu, is there anything that makes you embarrassed?" Miss Cai blushed a little and took out her money bag and shook it, the sound of the sparse coins in it was poignant. "I think you need to pay for these things for me temporarily, and I have no deposit at all. Maybe I should have sold my old house in town, but I don't have that time......"

As for the bookstore owner, there are still questions that have not been resolved. Zhou Shu said that he could ask Miss Cai to take a bath, and she could wash as much as she wanted, but as a detective mystery, he wanted to discuss the fire at the bookstore owner's house.

"What's this?" Miss Cai was already very talkative at this time, "Let's set up the car and go out to buy things first, let's talk on the way." He pointed to the door of the doctor's house that had just arrived, and motioned for Zhou Shu to lead the horse over—

The British pound was the currency that first appeared as a sterling silver pound. Although the meaning has changed now, it still records the era of the silver standard back then, which is the same as the situation of the White Moon Kingdom at this time.

There are only a few countries, regions and times in the world that use silver as the main currency to circulate, and silver is nothing more than an industrial material in the world today. There is a little bit of investment commodity attributes, but it is still incomparable with gold, and it is completely different grades. It is a precious metal that cannot rise in price without anyone to speculate.

Zhou Shu had no silver coins in his hand, when he held the bath bucket. When he proposed to pay the bill with gold, he was stared at by strange eyes, including Miss Cai. As a result, the barrel was bought, and the town could not stay any longer, and there were already legends on the road that there was a big high roller in the town. Because of the previous lesson in Berry Town, Zhou Shu loaded the barrel and the recuperating blue into the car and left directly, without stopping for half a minute.

At the request of Miss Cai, the two drove the carriage up a slightly steep hill. Then the lake was discovered. It was a small lake that looked good, and Miss Cai was not embarrassed at all to pick up the stones and build a fire, and then used the iron bucket she bought to rack the firewood, and prepared to start boiling the water.

Zhou Shu felt that the story was developing a little too fast, why did it inexplicably evolve into a situation like he was going to take a bath with a girl in the wild?

He didn't believe that a bath would be 100% clear of the plague. Looking at Miss Cai, who was busy looking for a suitable stone bonfire, Zhou Shu grabbed a jelly bean and walked over, the kind that goes back in time. This thing can return the body to the state it was in two days ago, and it is also very useful against the plague.

"Please eat a candy and see if our tongues work. Zhou Shu smiled and took his own one in his mouth.

Miss Cai was quite happy. Seeing Zhou Shu's move, he immediately became vigilant. Zhou Shu saw it in his eyes, and he also found a Baiyue country man who was a little vigilant, knowing that what outsiders gave him should not be eaten lightly. "Ugh. It's just a piece of candy. "He has no experience in tricking girls into eating candy, so he doesn't know what to do in this situation.

Sugar is definitely to be eaten, Zhou Shu has no plans to end his journey with the group here, he wants to follow the team for two or three more days, but he doesn't want Miss Cai to spread the disease.

Unfortunately, Miss Cai's vigilance seems to be really high, and she smiled and said that she didn't like sweets, which was a polite refusal.

Why can I bathe in a wooden barrel in front of a man in the wild, but I am not willing to accept my sugar? Zhou Shu couldn't figure it out.

He ignored Miss Lottery's attitude. He leaned over to her again, pinched the candy and shook it in front of her eyes. "Let me do the menial work. You eat a candy and take a break, and go to accompany Miss Lan. "Blue hasn't woken up yet. However, the high fever has subsided, and the medicine of this world is very effective.

Zhou Shu knew that his approach would definitely not work, and it would be impossible for him to open his mouth if he met a strange man who insisted on stuffing candy for himself to eat. He just said this to move on to the next step of the conversation.

Miss Cai was very cooperative, frowning and staring at Zhou Shu with an unhappy expression.

"Mr. Zhou Shu, what are you going to do here? Take the things in your hands away from my eyes, immediately!"

Imperative sentence...... Zhou Shu felt that he was often called and drunk by women in command sentences.

"I said, I'll boil water, you eat this. ”

It's also a command.

Zhou Shu's tone of words was not good, and he directly provoked Miss Cai to touch the knife on her waist. Zhou Shu shrugged, waved his hand and lit a bonfire on the ground, then pointed to the fire that suddenly appeared Miss Cai and said, "Eat it, it's good for your health." ”

A fire suddenly erupted from the ground, and for ordinary people in the first world, it is estimated that it is a damage to an underground gas pipeline and a gas leak. As for the residents of the White Moon Country, if they don't say a word, they will think that the magician is making trouble.

"You, you're a magician?!"

Miss Choi was terrified. Although the status of a magician is not too high in these years, she is also a nobleman, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back.

"I've eaten it all in front of you just now, why can't you accept it honestly, you have to let me scare you. ”

Miss Cai sensed the crisis and hurriedly pulled out her knife to try to defend herself, but this reaction was expected by Master Zhou. He walked over to Lan and shoved the candy he was holding in his hand into her mouth in front of Aya. You don't have to stuff it into your esophagus, just let her hold it in her mouth.

"Listen to me, I use more sugar than I use in a bath, just in case. ”

After Zhou Shu said this, he didn't remember to persuade Miss Cai again. After waiting for ten minutes, estimating the effective time of the candy, she removed the splint from the blue leg. Beneath the splints and bandages were a pair of smooth calves without any scars.

"Seeing is believing, you should also believe me, right?" Zhou Shu felt that if this woman still refused to accept her kindness, then she would still fly back to Haiyuan City, and there was no need to wander around like now. He is too lazy to use his brain now, there are simpler ideas than this method that can be used, it is not difficult to coax a girl to eat a candy, but unfortunately Zhou Shu does not have the patience now.

Cai is a ghost today, and he was still holding a knife like a great enemy just now, and his head was buzzing with the blue who had recovered like a miracle.

She didn't expect to meet a magician. She couldn't tell whether the person in front of her was good or bad, but she knew that she definitely couldn't disobey his intentions. There's no way, just eat it. She didn't worry about eating candy or anything now, she was depressed, how should she take this bath in a while...... (To be continued)
