Chapter 9: Orange Blossom Town 9

While others were visibly frightened.

"My lord, this ...... What a treasure there is! The assistant secretary of the mayor said with a grim face.

"yes. Even if you want us to help dig up the bodies, you should be honest and we won't be intimidated. One official couldn't help but whisper.

"Nope. You are wrong. It is because of the exhumation of the cat's corpse that it is possible to understand the vicious events that took place in the town. Only by understanding layer by layer can it be possible to find an opportunity to solve the problem and return peace to all the residents of the town. ”

"There's a good chance this corpse will help us open the door in the fog and let the truth surface. No matter how much wealth you have, it is in vain to enjoy it. So this corpse is even more valuable than a real treasure. ”

The officials of the town twitched the corners of their mouths when they heard this.

The little blind girl is quite capable of nonsense, and her brain is not very normal.

Who is a normal person who takes a corpse as a treasure?

As Jiang Lai spoke, he turned around and faced the mayor and the other officials, as if he was "looking" at them with unfocused eyes.

"Of course, if you can cooperate and tell you what you know, the security risk will be easier and more quickly eliminated."

The mayor and other officials listened to Jiang Lai's words and all fell silent.

In the end, the mayor said, "We'll fix the road as soon as possible and get everyone out of the manor." ”

Jiang Lai was thinking that the heavy rain had not stopped for fifteen hours, which was enough to show that it was not easy for them to leave here......

The cat's corpse, disposed of in such a strange way, that it was impossible to tell when it died.

However, Jiang Lai deduced that the killer's treatment of the poor cat in that particular way was mostly related to perfume......

So, the next thing she needs to focus on is the history of the development of perfume in Orange Blossom Town, and the top perfumers......

She decided to start her investigation with the history of the town.

"Mr. Mayor, when did Orange Blossom Town start planting bitter orange trees and using orange blossom and its leaves for perfume and essential oil processing?"

"Two hundred years ago, the town of Orange Blossom was a fief given to Princess Mary by His Majesty the King at the time. When Princess Mary arrived, she discovered the bitter orange trees that grew here and had a soft spot for the scent of orange blossom. With the support of the princess and the royal family, the town's perfume industry developed. The mayor said.

"Is that Princess Mary also proficient in perfumery?" Jiang Lai asked.

Hearing this, the mayor couldn't help but tremble, his face turned pale, and he shook his head for a moment before he said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, my lord, I don't know ......"

He cautiously peeked at Jiang Lai, touched his nose and explained: "After all, he was a person from more than two hundred years ago, and he was still a member of the royal family. I'm just a little mayor. How could I possibly know about the royal princess......"

Jiang Lai's smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Really?" ”

As they spoke, the servants were already full of fear, and buried the body of the strange cat again, and everyone returned to the villa.

The other players who chose another path have returned to the villa.

"Miss Lai...... Why is she gone? Her eyes are not good, something must be wrong, right? Yuan Yuan said with concern.

"Hmph, she, maybe she was kidnapped by the guy who took Li Li away!" Bai Jing said.

She looked at Yuan Yuan with a smug look on her face and said to her, "Look, I don't let you be with her, right?" She's just cannon fodder. Whoever is with her will definitely be unlucky! ”

Bai Jing chattered endlessly, her expression was very happy, and she looked more eager to hope that others would be unlucky than that she would get rich.

At this time, Yuanyuan, who was standing opposite her, suddenly winked at her and pulled her arm.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Don't you think I'm right? How could that dead blind man be blind if he wasn't born with bad luck......"

Before Bai Jing's words fell, she let out a sigh and fell to the ground on her knees.

It turned out that Jiang Lai came over and kicked her knee, so that she couldn't bear the sudden force and knelt heavily on the ground.

Jiang Lai slowly walked in front of Bai Jing and accepted her bowing ceremony.

"You...... You're not dead yet...... Bai Jing said with a pale face: "You kicked me just now, right?" What do you want? ”

"I don't want to do anything other than tell you that you're violating the Disability Protection Act." 江莱 says:

"But for your knees to confess your sins to me, I will not bother with you. Mr. Lu Xun once said that dogs can bite people, but people can't bite back. ”

"Who do you say is a dog!" Bai Jing was furious.

Jiang Lai shrugged his shoulders and avoided the direction where Bai Jing was kneeling, "I said, I don't have the same knowledge as you. Why are you still kneeling? Do you feel sinful? ”

"You!" Bai Jing gritted her teeth.

She just wanted to go back, but was stopped by the man in the suit.

"Don't make any noise! The top priority now is to find Li Li and find out the identity of the guy who left a strange mud mark in the villa and took Li Li away! ”

"Did you find any clues?" Jiang Lai asked.

"Why are we telling you?" Bai Jing said as she stood up.

The man in the suit glared at Bai Jing and said to Jiang Lai, "We followed that trail just now to the depths of the bitter orange tree plantation in the southwest. Outside the plantation, there is a lush primeval forest......"

They relied on the large number of people and followed the trail into the primeval forest, but they didn't expect ......

The traces are gone!

"It's raining so hard and it's muddy inside the forest. If that thing dragged Li Li into the forest, how could it be that there was no trace left? But the traces were cut off there. It's like...... That thing suddenly flew into the sky with Li Li in its arms! ”

"If that thing hadn't had wings, it probably wouldn't have disappeared out of thin air. Are you looking around? Are there any potholes or traps or anything like that? ”

The man in the suit shook his head regretfully and glanced at Jiang Lai deeply.

Jiang Lai interrupted the inquiring gaze of the man in the suit.

The moment she opened her mouth to speak, the man in the suit strangely had the illusion that there was nothing wrong with her eyes and that her vision was completely normal.

However, that feeling only lasted for a short time.

"Can you tell me about Li Li's disappearance?" Jiang Lai "looked" at the man in the suit and asked.

The man in the suit nodded unconsciously, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Lai couldn't see anything, and touched his nose a little embarrassed.
