Chapter 109 Who Is the Villain
"The light smoke in human form is the reason why Daoist Qinghe failed to perform the spell."
Qin Yi sipped his wine alone, listening to the analysis of the tassel in the ring.
"If I'm not mistaken, there is likely to be an ancient corpse deep in the veins here, which caused the drought."
Qin Yi wondered: "It's still raining today, and there's groundwater underground, so where does this drought come from?"
"Hanba? No." Liusu said: "The rain from the sky is formed by the intertwining of the yin and yang qi of heaven and earth. To the extent that it can cause a drought, the cultivation of the Hanba is already extremely high. The current one has not reached this level, but It's just an ancient corpse with a certain amount of practice in life...Of course, if it develops, it may become a Hanba."
"Then why haven't you heard of problems with other people's well water? Why only target Wang's well water?"
"It has something to do with the flash of lightning. Someone pulled the dry power of the ancient corpse to Wang's house, which caused the ground water to rise, and even the ditch to dry up."
Qin Yi subconsciously looked at the fat shopkeeper on the counter.
Monsters, electrification, paying attention to Wang's house... This clue is too clear, Conan is not needed to solve the case, the truth is already clear.
The fat shopkeeper is leisurely pouring himself a drink, his small eyes are narrowed, as if enjoying his own wine. As if sensing Qin Yi's gaze, he also turned to look at Qin Yi, his chubby smile looked a little cute.
"The shopkeeper." Qin Yi raised his glass and gave a distant respect: "It's really hard work for this one to open a shop during the Chinese New Year, and not close to watch the Spring Festival Gala or something."
"What is the Spring Festival Gala?" The fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's a restaurant. It's like this. Many regular customers are used to having a few drinks at night. After everyone leaves, they close. The customers are not locals. It’s hard work when you’re still running around.”
"Looking at how hard I work, can this meal be free?"
"The guest was joking, small business..."
"Then I'll treat you." Qin Yi smiled and said, "Come for a drink?"
At this time, the last customer of the restaurant had already checked out and left. The fat shopkeeper didn't say anything. He slowly tidied up the tables and chairs, and then slowly closed the door. After closing the last door, he still seemed a little out of breath. There is no difference between mortal fat paper.
Qin Yi looked at him with interest.
After closing the shop completely, the fat shopkeeper took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, walked over with a shake, sat down in front of Qin Yi and lamented: "It's inconvenient to be fat, unlike the guest officer who is in good health, this spring is cold The one actually wears a green shirt."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "It's better to be fatter, it's more compatible with Miss Wang's family."
The fat shopkeeper beamed and said: "Let me tell you, the young lady of the Wang family is fertile at first glance. If she marries as a wife, she can have a litter..."
"A litter of pigs or a litter of mice?"
"Uh..." The fat shopkeeper rolled his eyes: "They're almost the same."
Qin Yi couldn't help laughing: "What's the shopkeeper's name? Could it be Pi?"
"You're stupid." The fat shopkeeper didn't answer this question, but instead asked, "What did you gain from visiting the Wang family today? Did you see Miss Wang's family?"
Qin Yi twitched his cheeks: "Let's leave the young lady to Your Excellency."
"Could it be that the guest really went to open the well?"
"That's right, I'm a professional at dredging pipes." Qin Yi said: "Since the shopkeeper always pays attention to Miss Wang's family, do you know about the situation of the well water drying up?"
"I know a little bit." The fat shopkeeper took a sip of wine, and suddenly became alert again: "Are you ready to invite me?"
"Yes, yes, I asked you. The more you know about the well water situation, the more I can ask you."
"That's good." The fat shopkeeper drank the wine leisurely, and said slowly: "Actually, this well dried up once three years ago. At that time, Taoist priests on the mountain came to solve it by diverting water. It relapsed after three years. Members are reluctant to buy the so-called magic tools of the Taoist priests—they don’t need money, but those magic tools are all money.”
"So you put up the list and invite someone else?"
"That's right, they all went to the county and the county. After half a year of tossing, many so-called skilled workers came to see it, but they were helpless. I heard that there is a small country in southern Xinjiang that even the king has changed three times. No one can fix such a mere well, and it will be impossible to pass the year..."
Qin Yi stared at him: "If you talk about wells, just talk about wells, and if you talk about the country in southern Xinjiang, I won't treat you!"
"Oh." The fat shopkeeper weighed another piece of beef, ate it happily, and then sighed: "This Qinghe Taoist priest came here by himself, and Wang Yuanwai didn't invite him at all."
"Come here uninvited?" Qin Yi wondered, "Could it be for the peace of the village?"
"Maybe." The fat shopkeeper blinked: "The Wang family has no water, why don't they send someone to fetch water for their house from a long distance? It caused complaints, maybe the elders can't stand it."
Qin Yi looked at him and said nothing.
The well was obviously dried up by the fat shopkeeper himself. Qin Yi asked him to test the reason why he did this, but it seemed that he really wanted to lead this matter to the Taoist temple on the mountain.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "If Daoist Qinghe can't solve this matter, I don't know if Daoist Qingxu, who has a lifespan of 250, will take action himself. It's really exciting."
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, then asked, "What if Daoist Qingxu really took action himself?"
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes with a smile: "That's great, just let everyone see if he has reached two hundred and five years old."
"..."
"It's getting late, thank you for your hospitality." The shopkeeper stood up unsteadily: "I'm going to spy on Miss Wang's family, do you want to go with me?"
"Go on your own."
The shopkeeper didn't say any more, and slipped out through the side door.
Qin Yi stared at his back speechlessly. Did he just let himself stay in his restaurant, did he mean giving away all the belongings at the counter? This attitude is simply too obvious, I just deliberately asked myself to follow him curiously to see how he was spying on Miss Wang's family...
"At this time of year, your blue shirt is thin, as long as you are not stupid, you can tell that you have practiced yourself, and you are not an ordinary person." Liusu said, "This fat mouse has something in its words, and it is for you to follow and read."
Qin Yi nodded and followed directly.
It didn't take long to see the fat shopkeeper lying on the side door of Wang's house with his butt pouted, looking in through the crack of the door. Qin Yi walked around to the other side very speechlessly, leaned on the courtyard wall lightly, and hid behind a tree.
This is the backyard of the Wang family. There are many water tanks in the yard, which seem to have been specially transported from other places recently for backup. At first glance, the densely packed water tanks reflect countless moons under the moonlight, and the intense phobia attack looks very intrusive, turning an otherwise ordinary scene into a horror movie.
Before Qin Yi had time to complain, he saw that Daoist Qinghe sneaking into the courtyard.
He stood in the middle of the yard, looked around the water tank, and suddenly a ferocious look appeared on his face full of immortality, and he pinched the magic formula in his hand and muttered.
After a while, countless green lights emerged from his hands and fell into all the water tanks.
Daoist Qinghe sneered, then turned and left.
"Toxin..." Qin Yi is a pharmacist after all, and he recognized it after sniffing carefully: "It's actually corpse poison?"
No matter what the reason was, it would be fine to apply other poisons, but Qin Yi was a little horrified by the violent sense of disobedience when something like corpse poison appeared from the hands of an immortal Taoist priest.
The next moment, I saw the fat shopkeeper release an electric current from the crack of the door, and it bounced accurately in all the water tanks. Qin Yi clearly felt that the toxin was completely dissolved by such an electric shock.
Taoist priests are poisoning, and monsters are secretly helping people detoxify?
At first I thought that the fat mouse was the villain, but from this point of view, it is not certain who is the villain.
An ordinary well dries up, and the things behind it seem to be getting more and more unusual...
