[26] Caught the handle of the mastermind behind the scenes
The Soul Remnant is an extremely magical being, and any creature that is affected by the power of the Remnant Seal will establish an invisible connection with it.
From now on, no matter how far away the creature is, as long as the creature does not die, the connection will not disappear.
Cheng Han sensed for a moment and identified the "lost" bird - the blue pipit.
He immediately thought of a key question - was this a simple accident, or did Qin Zicheng find a bird peeping?
If it is the former, it can only be said that the blue pipit is too unlucky.
If it's the latter, uh...... It doesn't seem to be harmful.
Because Cheng Han deliberately prepared a set of anti-divination prevention measures, he didn't think that Qin Zicheng had the ability to trace it back to himself.
The only trouble is that this guy will definitely be more vigilant, which will make monitoring much more difficult, and will have to find other means in the future.
Cheng Han turned his mind while pushing his bicycle and walked to the door of the vegetable market.
After only a few steps, there was a sudden shouting from behind.
"Wait a minute, lad."
Cheng Han turned his head to look over, only to see an old man with gray hair, panting and chasing after him.
He stopped and asked politely, "Old man, what's the matter with you?" ”
The old man asked directly, "Do you still have a burrowing rabbit?" ”
Cheng Han shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's sold out." ”
The old man was old and fine, and asked tentatively: "Young man, you have caught so many burrowing rabbits, and most of you still have one at hand, right?" ”
Cheng Han did not answer.
The other party guessed correctly, he did still have burrowing rabbits, and not one, but a full six, and he planned to pickle them as reserve food for the winter.
The old man tried to move with affection: "The daughter-in-law of the third child of my family gave birth to a child half a month ago, and her milk is not enough these days, and the little things are often hungry and crying.
"Cave rabbit meat can promote milk, so I wanted to buy one for my daughter-in-law to make up for her body, but I went around the vegetable market for most of the day, and I didn't see a single cave rabbit."
Burrowing rabbits have a special habit, in captivity, they will become extremely irritable, and then attack each other, resulting in a large number of young rabbits die.
Wild burrowing rabbits are extremely cautious, and traps and other means are difficult to work on them, so it is common for burrowing rabbits to appear in the vegetable field all day.
That is, Cheng Han has extraordinary strength, and there is an extremely capable black cat that can catch so many rabbits in one go.
The old man gritted his teeth and began to lure him into taking advantage: "I am willing to pay two silver coins to buy one!" ”
This is an extremely tempting price for the average person.
But with the help of the omniscient eye, Cheng Han has picked up more than thirty silver coins in the past year, and the other party's offer is not enough to make him tempted.
The old man pleaded with a blank eye: "Young man, my boy's physique is not good, and if he continues to starve, he is afraid that he will not survive the winter." ”
Cheng Han sighed secretly and said silently: "Deduction!" ”
He didn't fully believe the other party's side of the story, and decided to test it with his skills.
Mental value decreased by 1.2.
A series of visions appeared.
After a few moments, the image faded.
Cheng Han raised his eyebrows lightly and said categorically: "Old man, I'll go back first, and you can wait for me in the vegetable market." ”
The old man hesitated a little: "You shouldn't be looking for an excuse to leave, right?" ”
This person reacted immediately, it was easy to offend people, and he quickly apologized: "Young man, please don't be surprised, I'm old and my brain is a little confused." ”
Cheng Han replied, "It's okay", and turned to leave.

A quarter of an hour later.
Cheng Han returned to the vegetable market on time.
When the old man saw a rabbit hanging on the faucet of the car, he immediately smiled: "The young man really believes in his word!" ”
He complimented again: "When I was young, I also wanted to catch rabbits to make a little money, but this thing is so clever, I worked in the wild for three days and found nothing, the young man is amazing!" ”
Cheng Han smiled slightly, and made an excuse: "My luck is good, and I took out a cave rabbit nest with a few companions." ”
The old man looked at the rabbit a few times, and took the initiative to raise the price: "This cave rabbit is only afraid of weighing six catties, right?" How about I give two hundred and twenty copper coins? ”
Cheng Han said: "Okay!" ”
The burrowing rabbits that stay at home are already a large batch, and it is natural that the price is a little higher.
Both parties pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.
The old man carried the rabbit and went home happily.
Cheng Han looked at the other party's back and said softly: "I really can't imagine that the matter of this old man's family actually involves Qin Zicheng." ”
The results of the deduction showed that the person's daughter-in-law had recently been plagued by nightmares, and her mental state affected her body, which would lead to a lack of milk.
What's more critical is that the house where he lives is no more than 50 meters away from Qin Zicheng's house in a straight line.
Is this a coincidence?
No, he thought!
Cheng Han got on his bicycle and muttered: "I actually ignored this, the neighbors are close at hand, and Qin Zicheng has the highest probability of attacking them."
"This guy was quietly doing things in the school's botanical garden before, it should have been just a whim, just like a teenager likes to show off in front of his classmates."
He thought of the nightmare of the old man's daughter-in-law, and his expression was cloudy: "The first time I deduced the black cat, the shadow turned into a ghost hand and sucked the black cat into a cat skin.
"And in that woman's dream, there are frequent strange and terrifying black shadows, which sound a bit like ghost hands, could this be the power of another god?
"The death of the blue pipit should not be accidental, its feathers are bright, most likely because Qin Zicheng found it lingering nearby for a long time and felt that something was not right, so he killed this unlucky bird."
Cheng Han was a little lucky: "Fortunately, I was very cautious and did not rush to the vicinity of Qin Zicheng's home to conduct on-the-spot investigations, otherwise I might have encountered an accident like a blue pipit." ”
He pedaled the bicycle hard and muttered, "I can test my idea later." ”
*
Night falls.
Cheng Han arrived at the door.
He pushed open the door and immediately saw the black cat lying next to the barrel containing the rabbit, seemingly guarding the spoils of war.
As for the two bird "sentinels", they stood together on the top of the cabinet, obviously having a serious psychological shadow on the black cat, so they did not dare to approach it.
"Meow~"
The black cat stood up for the first time and sent greetings to its owner.
The two birds flapped their wings and flew down, landing on his left and right shoulders, respectively.
Cheng Han stroked a few handfuls of cat heads, stroked the bird's head a few times, and then opened a drawer in the cabinet and took out a feather from it.
It is the feathers of the blue pipit.
In order to prevent accidents, before releasing the three birds, he deliberately plucked a feather from each of them to act as a "relative" for retrospection.
Cheng Han stroked the feather and smiled: "If you don't touch my bird, I can't do anything about you, but you just touched the bird and directly related to it, isn't this sent to the door?" ”
He concentrated and said silently: "Use feathers as clues to deduce the cause of the blue pipit's death!" ”
