Chapter 701 Hope and Despair (4)
The next day, the incident of the cracking of the Killing Stone was immediately reported by major news media who rushed to hear the news, making it a hot headline.
“According to legend, the monster Tamamo Mae is sealed in the killing stone. Does the cracking of the killing stone herald the occurrence of some disaster? For this reason, we specially invited Professor Yoshida from the Department of Geology of the University of Tokyo. ..."
"From a scientific point of view, this There is no so-called harbinger of disaster. The porous structure of this rock itself is not very strong. It can be seen from its cross section that it was broken due to natural factors. The gas stored in the holes inside Because the temperature difference between day and night causes expansion and contraction, there is no super The power of nature. According to detection, there are no signs of activity in the nearby volcanoes. Please rest assured nearby people that this is just a common phenomenon. And friends from the media, please stop spreading some strange remarks, which will cause unnecessary confusion. Panic..."
Ling Kong Office Inside, the two of them watched the reports on the TV program nervously. They hurriedly checked out of the hotel and ran away early this morning, for fear that someone would connect them with the fracture of the killing stone. After all, that thing is also public property. If a legally designated scenic spot is damaged by humans, compensation will definitely be required.
"Did you see Heitaro!" Qian Xiaoyi pointed at the TV with a happy face and said: "I just said that stone has nothing to do with us! There is no trace of us at all!"
Heita Inuyama is ruthless exposed Qian Xiaoyi Pretending to be calm: "Brother Yi, that's not what you said when you escaped in the morning."
Qian Xiaoyi defended: "No one knows that the broken stone will crack as soon as it is said to crack! Even with Our magic circle has something to do with it, that's just There is something wrong with the stone itself, have you seen it? The contents of that stone have long been hollowed out! Sooner or later, we just happened to meet it."
Inuyama. Pingtai sighed: "But if If we don't touch it, it won't break at this time, right?"
"Anyway..." Qian Xiaoyi said calmly: "As long as it is not found on us. That’s it!”
God knows how much this famous "landscape" costs! Even Qian Xiaoyi is a little scared now. He doesn't have much money to compensate now. Compensation is still a small matter. He is a foreigner. It would be bad if he is deported.
"So, what happened to that stone?" Inuyama Heita asked in confusion: "What is inside? Is it really a nine-tailed demon fox? Why did it become like that?"
Qian Xiaoyi shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether there is a nine-tailed demon fox or not. The things inside have obviously been triggered by others, so it changed from a [Killing Stone] that gathered public awareness to a a perfectly normal stone The head has been destroyed a long time ago, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks apart. "Is the nine-tailed demon fox killed?" Inuyama Heita is still confused: " Is he someone related to Baigui?"
"Absolutely." Qian Xiaoyi said quietly, but thanks to this investigation, he had a very important guess, but whether it is correct or not depends on it. We have to wait until the appropriate time to verify it.
It was so peaceful for a few days. During this period, Qian Xiaoyi took time to take Inuyama Heita out to do two ghost-free extermination commissions. He did some of his own work after a long time. Other than that, everything was calm, but Qian Xiaoyi knew that this It's just an appearance. Under the calm sea, there are already undercurrents.
In the evening, in the [Blues] bar, it was still early and there were not many customers. Only Qian Xiaoyi was sitting in front of the bar, eating curry rice.
“You are such a heartless person.” Maria, still wearing the heavy make-up, complained to Qian Xiaoyi: “I haven’t come to see her for so long, which makes me so sad. It’s a shame for me to pay her back. I introduced you to several clients, but you never had time. , I was asked about it for a long time.”
Qian Xiaoyi is already immune to Maria’s tricks. This is Maria’s unique bad taste, wanting to see other people’s expressions of embarrassment. Forget it, among those who are familiar with Maria, only Inuyama Heita can fall into the trap now. Qian Xiaoyi smiled apologetically and said: "Ah haha, I'm sorry, there are so many things going on during this period~ I can't help it. I went on a business trip out of town some time ago and I'm very busy. Look, I'll contact you whenever I'm free these two days. Is it done? The client is also very satisfied, which is gratifying and gratifying.”
"If someone hadn't contacted you proactively, would you have known to come back?" Maria teased Qian Xiaoyi in a tone as if she was a grudge.
Qian Xiaoyi immediately changed the topic: "Speaking of this, Maria, have you found out about that person's situation?"
After hearing the topic, Maria stopped talking. Teasing Qian Xiaoyi, he said seriously: "Of course, I have always been very concerned about little brother Inuyama's affairs."
As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and found a photo. Then he pushed it to Qian Xiaoyi. The photo showed a homeless man with two bags of plastic bottles and cans beside him. In the photo, he was turning his head to look at something on the side of the street. He was so absorbed in looking that he didn't notice that he was being secretly photographed. .
"Is this him?" Qian Xiaoyi asked doubtfully.
"Don't underestimate my abilities, sister." Maria pushed another photo onto the table. In this photo, there was a high-spirited man in a suit.
Maria said: "This is the photo you gave me. I am very sure that this is Inuyama Heita's father - Inuyama Jun. This photo was taken by Mr. Kuroda's friend for confirmation. He even called his name, but the guy didn’t even want the bottle on the ground and ran away.”
“When was this filmed? ?" Qian Xiaoyi asked: "Where is he now?"
Maria said: "The photo was taken a few days ago, near an overpass in Banqiao District, he should be there. I lived nearby, but after I alerted him, he ran very fast, so I lost him. There was nothing I could do about it. After all, not everyone is a professional detective like you, so it was inevitable that something would happen. ”
Qian Xiaoyi wanted to say that he was not a detective, but he was keenly aware that saying so would only lead to more ridicule, so he did not accept it.
"It doesn't matter." Qian Xiaoyi looked at the photo carefully, nodded, and said, "I will go there to investigate in person, and thank Mr. Kuroda's friend for me."
After that, he was about to After leaving, looking at his back, Maria teased: "So you have admitted that you are a detective?"
Qian Xiaoyi is the only one. Staggering, she turned around and said: "No! Don't talk nonsense! I'm not a detective!"
After watching Qian Xiaoyi leave the bar, Maria laughed and said: "Obviously, I'm a detective. He is such a dishonest guy, but I don’t hate this type of guy..."
