Elf: I've been reincarnated into a Variety Monster

Chapter 99 The Choice of Justice and Money
"Of course I know there is a problem!"

Xiaolu pursed her mouth angrily, and ordered two ramen noodles for herself and Su Qian on the list that Leo handed over.

After receiving the order, Leo stood up like a waiter, ran over quickly, and handed the order to the cook in the shop.

Da da da, the sound of fast and dense chopping sounded on the chopping board.

"Among the information we got in the morning, what that stinky mud told us should be the truth, although what it said was scattered. The director Jiang probably only told the truth about the direction of the stinky mud, and the rest were nonsense. I just want us to quickly go to the sewer pipe network to find the smelly mud."

Su Qian transformed into Miaomiao, and skillfully pulled out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from the chopstick bucket.For things like eating, it turns out that Weng's claws are far less flexible and convenient than Miaomiao's.

"Yeah, I think so too." Xiaolu nodded approvingly, and said worriedly, "According to the employee in the duty room and the manhole cover that has been opened, there should be other private detectives who also accepted the commission and entered the city." It’s in the sewer network. The competitive entrustment mentioned by Factory Manager Jiang means that other people can also participate. What if they complete the entrustment first?”

If he didn't earn the entrustment fee, but also got the taste of this body, it would be a big loss.

"That can't be helped." Su Qian looked at Leo who was sitting back with a cat-faced smile, "If we can't complete the commission and make no money, then we won't be able to pay your 800 yuan."

Leo was stunned, and whispered with a bitter face, "Can you pay half of it?"

"At most, erase the money you owe me." Su Qian took a step back.

"That's fine."

Su Qian leaned over and asked seriously: "Is there really nothing you can do? Humans say you have legendary strength. Why are you so useless?"

Leo waved his hand impatiently, "Fighting is not the same thing as finding an elf. I'm still looking for a wife with the help of human network information. Whoever stipulates that if you are strong, you have to do whatever you want? You are biased."

What he said was straightforward and well-founded, leaving Su Qian speechless.

"All right, all right, you have a reason," Su Qian ignored the 'trash' legend, and instead stared into Xiao Lu's eyes quietly, "I probably want to understand the whole thing, and I also want to know what to do next. Yes. It’s just Xiaolu, I want to ask you, justice or money, which side do you choose?”

"Justice!" Xiaolu replied without hesitation.

At the side of the square table, Leo leaned on the table with his chin in one hand, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"I knew it," Su Qian sighed helplessly with a headache, "From the information I got from the smelly mud, the thing is like this:
One day, a hole was suddenly broken in the wall of the compartment, and this hole happened to be connected to the pipe leading to the sewer network.Then the two stinky mud found the two holes. Out of curiosity, they got into the holes and ran away.The third one found was the smelly mud, and it also wanted to go, but its body was bigger than the smelly mud, so it couldn't get through all at once.So it started to destroy the wall, and the sound it made caught the attention of the staff on duty, who ran over and used the poke ball to take all the remaining pokemon in the compartment back into the poke ball. "

"Enn," Xiaolu's red eyes sparkled, "I think so too."

Su Qian raised two fingers, "So there are two places where Director Jiang lied to us. One is the time. I'm afraid it was the time when he went to issue the commission two days ago. The time of the hole in the wall. The time difference in the middle, I suspect that he is looking for the construction team to fill the hole, which should be something he doesn’t want others to know.”

"Two servings of beef ramen, one serving of luxury secret char siew large serving ramen, pork chops, fattened beef, vegetables, oil residue and eggs..."

The waiter carried the plate and carefully placed three bowls of noodles on the table.

Two servings of noodles in a clear broth are studded with slices of beef.

The noodles are no longer visible in the other bowl, and various side dishes are piled up high 'hills'.

[Thank you] Leo did not forget to politely thank the waiter in the notebook.

The waiter smiled and put away the tray, "Please use it."

When he left, Su Qian immediately reprimanded: "It's too shameless! Leo, are you embarrassed?"

"Just a piece of noodles, thank you boss," Leo sincerely thanked, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, and picked up a piece of char siu pork.

If he didn't know he couldn't beat him, Su Qian would have let him have a punch the size of a sandbag until he was full.

"Xiao Lu, next time we have dinner, if he is around, I will take all the orders."

"Oh," Xiaolu moved her share of noodles in front of her, and looked at Su Qian, "I just said that there are two ways to deceive us, what is the other one?"

"The second point is of course about the lost Poké Ball. You also saw it in the duty room. The Pokéball and the stinky mud are not together at all. It is impossible for the stinky mud to take away or destroy the poké ball. And the stinky mud said It didn't leave, except that the hole was too small, and another reason was that it was taken away by the poke ball."

Su Qian sucked a chopstick of noodles, the taste was mediocre, "You think, at that time, it was impossible for the person on duty to know which two stinky muds escaped, and then just dropped their poke balls, it must be the entire compartment 8 The elf balls corresponding to each elf are there."

"Yeah, that's true," Xiaolu couldn't help nodding, and the noodles were hanging in the air.

Su Qian's cat face showed a smile, "So the key to the subsequent detection is to find the fired employee and ask him about the whereabouts of the two poke balls. As long as you find the two poke balls, it's easy to find the stinky mud, right? .”

"Hmm..." Xiaolu keenly sensed that there was still some unfinished meaning in Su Qian's words, "Then what is the justice you said?"

"Hey!" Su Qian stopped his chopsticks and let out a long and helpless sigh, "We are private detectives to complete the commission and get money from Director Jiang, right?"

"Ah."

"Director Jiang obviously only wants private detectives to find the smelly mud, and doesn't want us to explore the reasons behind it at all. When we find the fired employee, get those two poke balls, and get back the smelly mud. I have a hunch , out of justice, you may not return the two stinky mud to Director Jiang."

Xiaolu was only slightly taken aback, and almost immediately replied: "Then I won't pay it back."

The client needs to prepay the commission remuneration with the private detective association, which is kept by the semi-official association, so that there will be no such thing as the commission being completed, and then the client has no money to pay the remuneration.After the entrustment is completed, the client needs to confirm the completion of the entrustment to the association, and the association will pay the private detective the remuneration.

It can be called the original offline version of the entrusted Taobao mall.

If Xiaolu didn't return the two stinky mud to the client, Factory Manager Jiang, and even went against him, then where would the commission fee come from?
Su Qian's eyes turned to Leo who was eating noodles, "Here, what do you think?"

With a grunt, Leo swallowed a large chopsticks of noodles and side dishes in one gulp in a movement that is impossible for humans, and said nonchalantly, "Whatever you want, boss, I'm just a part-time worker."

"Okay, then the three of us will get to know each other as one," Su Qian pretended to applaud lightly.

This time, Xiaolu put down her chopsticks cooperatively and started to clap her hands.

A few guests at other tables who were close to each other peeked at Xiaolu secretly with a bit of sympathy in their eyes. This girl is quite good-looking, why does she seem to have a problem with her mind?
He didn't even eat, and just listened to his elf's meowing, and started clapping along with it, and his condition got worse.

The one opposite is her brother, right?I have been silent all the time, only responding with "oh" occasionally, it's not easy to take care of a mental patient.

Pa pa pa paw, Su Qian lowered his paw, and looked at Xiao Lu's pretty face expectantly with his beady eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like this?" Xiao Lu put down her hands hesitantly, her face flushed slightly.

Su Qian knocked on the table with his paw, and urged: "Work, quickly find out where that employee is by divination?"

"I can't do it." Xiaolu turned her head away from Su Qian's eyes, her face seemed to have accidentally applied lipstick to her cheeks.

"Didn't you know that person's name is Song Zelin? Can't relying on the name?"

"No," Xiaolu explained in a low voice, "Because Song Zelin is a term in the sense of representation, I only know that there is a person named Song Zelin in the world, but I don't know what kind of person Song Zelin is. There is also a relationship between me and him. There is no connection, so it is impossible to find him. And the worst thing is, there may exist or have been many Song Zelin in the world..."

All in all, divination for predicting the future is very useful, but it is not so omnipotent.

Su Qian frowned when he heard that, "You mean it's best to find an item related to him before you can find him."

"Well, divination possession is very important for finding a specific target." Xiaolu affirmed.

In a successful case, the divination tool for finding Aunt Sanuchi is the pair of sunglasses.In the failed cases, the divination tool for finding the murderer was the dead body.

And looking for unreliable divination of non-specific targets.For example, if Xiaolu wants to find a human in divination now, the target will immediately point to the diners at the noodle stall.

If you stand in a garbage disposal plant and do divination to find stinky mud, the target will point to the nearest stinky mud in the factory building, which is meaningless.

"So the best way is to ask his co-workers, where is his home? Even if there is no one there, it is easy to find a fortune teller," Su Qian thought of the four men with bad attitudes sitting in the duty room.

When Su Qian and Xiaolu were discussing the countermeasures, Leo had already eaten up the noodles, stood up holding the bowl, and ran to the waiter to ask for free noodles.

Thinking of what happened in the morning, Xiaolu also thought of difficulties, "But we are private detectives hired by Director Jiang, and those workers have seen me, and they are very hostile to us."

To gain trust, right?In addition to being a private detective, Xiaolu is also a co-operator of the investigation bureau. She sneaked into the factory secretly and appeared in a new identity.

"Xiaolu, aren't you a co-operator of the Search Bureau? How about using this identity?"

As for how to fool others, Su Qian has always been good at it, "Let's say you discovered something wrong with Factory Manager Jiang, and deliberately used the identity of a private detective as a cover to infiltrate the investigation, and now you need the cooperation of the other party to provide more information. Yu Did the department give you any documents to prove your identity?"

"No, cooperative operators don't have that kind of thing, maybe regular operators do." Xiaolu's forehead wrinkled with worry.

Also, what documents does a temporary worker need?

"Leave it to me," Su Qian patted his chest confidently, "When the time comes, you will say that you are an officer of the Search Bureau."

Holding a bowl full of noodles, Leo happily sat back on his seat, which made Su Qian have to suspect that the effect of this guy's legendary field of "infinity" can't be infinitely edible, right?
……

The sun was blazing in the sky, and two furtive figures, one tall and one short, hid in the narrow shadow of the west wall of the waste treatment plant.

After a while, a purple Geng Gui emerged from the shadows, "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time. When passing by, I saw Director Jiang bringing a male private detective into the factory again. I followed him for a while. I found that idiot went directly to the pipe network. There are still two workers in the duty room. Later, Xiaolu, you teleport in, close the door first, and then reveal your identity to ask questions. Leo, hide yourself and wait for us to come out what."

"Okay." "Oh."

Geng Gui's body burst into colorful light, rapidly shrinking, shrinking and shrinking again.

The light dissipated, and a brown booklet appeared in midair.A hard cover, with a red and white pokemon ball on the front, and the italicized name of the Alliance Search Bureau written on the bottom.

Xiaolu caught the booklet, opened it, and covered her mouth in surprise.Su Qian hasn't told her about the effect of Lv2 transformation yet.

Inside the booklet, on the right side is her name, her department of the Search Bureau, her date of birth, and her position.On the left is a photo of herself, still in a police uniform, except that the eyes of 'Xiaolu' are not red, but a pair of black peas.

Naturally, from the form to the content of this certificate, Su Qian conjured it up according to his own imagination.

But what does it matter?Even Xiaolu, an insider, doesn't know what the identity card of the search bureau looks like, let alone an ordinary worker in a garbage disposal plant.

(In fact, there is no such thing as a secret unit, who usually goes out with a certificate, waiting to be caught and exposed?)
"Oh, amazing! You can do this kind of thing," even Leo couldn't help praising him.

"I'm leaving." Xiaolu's figure became blurred and mottled, and disappeared instantly.

Da, Xiaolu's shoes stepped on the concrete floor of the duty room again.

The two workers in the duty room saw the young girl appearing suddenly, one of them sprayed the water she just drank on the ground, and the cigarette in the other's hand fell onto her clothes.

"Quiet! I'm actually Xiaolu, an officer of the Alliance Search Bureau," Xiaolu blushed and showed her ID to the two, and at the same time closed the door with her thoughts. "In the morning, I was just investigating as a private detective. The target of the investigation this time is Factory Director Jiang, and the bureau suspects that there is something wrong with him. Please cooperate with my work and tell me where the important witness Song Zelin is?"

The worker who sprayed water in his mouth was the uncle who was the first to speak out while holding a thermos in his hand in the morning. He changed his indifferent attitude in the morning, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Has the alliance finally noticed the old dog Jiang? ? Go and help Zelin."
