Memoirs of a Kangaroo Unemployed

Shan Zeng pondered for a while and said, "Someone may have leaked the fact that I came here to handle the case. Maybe the aunt you met yesterday is also a human being possessed by a water ghost."

"Does the water ghost have any grudge against you?"

"No, people from our Tiger Clan happen to know how to undo the soul-suppressing spell."

"Cough, cough, cough." Xiao Wang woke up suddenly, choked a few times, looked around with confused eyes, and Liszt quickly helped him up.

Xiao Wang asked Liszt suspiciously: "Uncle Li, why am I at your house?"

"Uh...it's like this." Liszt couldn't think of a reason to explain, so he had to change the topic first, "...Xiao Wang, do you remember where you were before you fell into a coma?"

Xiao Wang thought for a while and said: "I remember I went to school, and then...I went to pick up the umbrella...the umbrella fell...in the water." He patted his head, "Then...the next thing...I don't remember gone."

"Your umbrella fell into the river, you went to pick it up in the river, and then you drowned, isn't that so?" Liszt said persuasively.

Xiao Wang felt that his mind was blank, and after hearing what Liszt said, he felt that this was what he did, and he responded, "Mmmm."

"You were drowning, and Uncle Li just passed by and rescued you. You were soaked and afraid of being criticized by your mother, so you followed me home."

Xiao Wang then agreed: "Yeah."

Shan Zengzheng cast a spell to modify Xiao Wang's memory, and Liszt had a great time playing, "Uncle Li saved you, did you promise to let your mother give Uncle Li the jar of pickles made last year?"

Xiao Wang: "Yeah."

"Hahaha, Uncle Li, I..."

"Shut up." Shan Zeng couldn't bear it anymore, and stopped in time.

In the next second, Xiao Wang's eyes became clear again, and he looked at Liszt with big round eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Uncle Li."

Although looking into the child's eyes still made him feel a little creepy, Liszt still accepted the thanks extremely shamelessly, "You're welcome."

"Ah! It's twelve o'clock, I have to go home for dinner." Xiao Wang jumped up from the sofa, packed his clothes and wanted to leave.

Liszt was afraid that the water ghost would come to him again, so he quickly said that he would send him home, "I just want to explain to your mother for you."

"Well, thank you uncle."

When the three of them went out, they happened to see the textbook they had just forgotten on the floor. Liszt quickly picked it up, patted it, and handed it to Xiao Wang, "Don't forget your math book."

Xiao Wang took the textbook, "This is not my textbook."

Liszt really didn't pay attention to it just now, the book was covered with mud and sand and the dust that had just rolled on it, wiped off the dust, and looked carefully, it turned out to be "Mathematics Compulsory I".

Liszt took the textbook, "Uh...Uncle, I made a mistake, it's my book, it's dirty and I'm about to take it downstairs and throw it away."

Downstairs, Liszt took the book and walked to the trash can. From Xiao Wang's angle, he couldn't see the movements in his hands clearly. Liszt took the opportunity to put the book into his kangaroo pocket.

Walking back and hugging Xiao Wang's shoulder, "Let's go."

Liszt's little tricks can hide the child from Shan Zeng, and Liszt, who is not very good at magic, can do this, which makes Shan Zeng a little surprised.

When they arrived at Xiao Wang's house, Sister Wang wanted to hit Xiao Wang when she saw him. As soon as she came up, she grabbed Xiao Wang's ear, "The teacher called and said that you skipped class again this morning!"

Liszt quickly explained to Sister Wang why Xiao Wang didn't go to class in the morning.Sister Wang just gave up, thanking Liszt while scolding her son for being careless.

It was time to go home and cook at noon, and the two declined Sister Wang's invitation to stay for dinner.

Halfway through, Xiao Wang stopped them both from behind, and ran up out of breath, "Hoo, Uncle Li's jar of pickles, my mother, my mother asked me to bring it to you. Hey, I'm so exhausted."

Shan Zeng didn't speak, but Liszt took it very bluntly, and he was very satisfied with the pickles he was thinking about, "Thank your mother for me."

"Then, Uncle Li, I'm leaving~"

"Wait." Shan Zeng suddenly stopped Xiao Wang, "Little friend, can you tell uncle what date you were born in the lunar calendar?"

"Well... the seventh day of June. Uncle, my birthday is still far away, and my mother said that you don't ask for anything in return." Xiao Wang said with a smile.

Shan Zeng patted Xiao Wang's head rarely, "Don't go to the river these days, it's very dangerous."

"Uh-huh."

Patted Xiao Wang on the head, "Go back."

After Xiao Wang left, Shan Zeng was speechless looking at Liszt who was holding pickles and laughing.

Back home, Liszt hummed a song and brought the pickles into the kitchen. He opened the lid and put a bowl of pickles in a large bowl. He cut up the pickled garlic and mixed them with the pickles, and made another plate of scrambled eggs with onions.

At lunch time, Shan Zeng sat on his seat, and a spicy smell hit his nostrils, "It smells so strong."

"Eat more, to drive away evil spirits." Liszt put a piece of garlic into the bowl, and the hot rice with crunchy pickles was particularly refreshing.

Shan Zeng was not used to the taste of garlic, so he had to pick pickles.

Liszt asked Shan Zeng: "What did you do this morning?"

"Investigate the case." Shan Zeng put a piece of yellow egg into the bowl.

Chewing garlic, Liszt continued to ask: "Your CID case is so confidential, why don't you reveal it to me?"

Shan Zeng did not speak.

Liszt asked again: "Hey, why did you just ask someone's child's birthday?"

"People with negative birthdays are more likely to be possessed by ghosts."

Liszt: "What about Xiao Wang's birthday?"

Shan Zeng: "The door is open on the seventh day of June, what do you think?"

"Oh." He chewed another mouthful of garlic, "Then why is the water ghost picking on Xiao Wang's upper body?"

"Maybe I don't want to put Xiao Wang to death." Shan Zeng explained.

Shan Zeng thought of the books that Liszt had hidden, "By the way, where did you put the books?"

After a pause for the chopsticks holding things, Liszt replied: "You saw it, nothing, just... just put it in your pocket."

Shan Zeng said, "Take it out and let me see."

Liszt shrugged, "Hey, I'm eating, the book is covered with sand, it's very dirty."

Shan Zeng suspects that Liszt does have some special technique to hide the book. After all, although the blindfold method does not require much mana, it needs continuous exercise to do it. Liszt is studying in a human school, so it is unlikely that Liszt has this ability , and Liszt hesitated as if covering up something.

Shan Zeng didn't want to ask, "Then let's talk after dinner."

After lunch, Shan Zeng washed the dishes as usual. After yesterday's incident, he already knew roughly how to do the dishes.But Liszt still doesn't trust Shan Zeng, and he must be a supervisor and guide on the side.

The bowl was finally finished, and Liszt praised Shan Zeng beside him, "Not bad, good progress."

Shan Zeng joked, "That's what the teacher taught me well."

"Hahaha." Liszt was satisfied after hearing this.

"The dishes have been washed, can you take out the books?" Shan Zeng asked again.

Liszt stammered again: "You...wait a minute." After speaking, he went back to the room and closed the door.

After a while, Liszt came out, holding the book in his hand, and handed it to Shan Zeng.

When he got it, Shan Zeng found that it was the same as when he picked it up on the ground before, with sand still sticking to the cover. When he opened the cover, "Wen Xiaoxiao, Class 103" was written on the title page.

Liszt watched Shan Zeng turn the pages of the book, and when he saw the name, Liszt said softly.

Shan Zeng turned to him and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"I don't know it, but it looks familiar." Liszt frowned and thought for a while, "I seem to have seen it somewhere, let me think about it."

Just now when Liszt flung himself into his arms, he didn't pay attention to it, but now he observes Liszt up close, and feels that there is an inexplicable charm when his European-style phoenix eyes are squinted.

After a while, Shan Zeng asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Liszt said irritably: "Hey, don't bother me, I just frowned and disturbed you again."

Now when he is angry, his expression is very funny, but it is very interesting to watch.

"Why are you looking at me?" Liszt didn't realize that his face was slightly red.

"It's nothing, just think about it slowly."

……

The next day, Liszt was cooking breakfast in the kitchen. While waiting for breakfast, Shan Zeng turned on the TV.Usually, Liszt doesn't watch TV very much, he just watches the weather forecast every night after watching the county news.So when I turned on the TV at this time, it happened to be the local channel in the county.

Liszt brought the fried rice out of the kitchen.

"Watching TV." Shan Zeng said suddenly.

Liszt looked confused, "What?"

Shan Zeng motioned him to watch TV, and Liszt turned his head.

A missing person notice is being broadcast on TV, the content is probably that a female high school student disappeared on the way home on the weekend, hoping that witnesses can provide clues and so on.And the name of this female high school student happens to be: "Wen Xiaoxiao".

"Oh, yes!" He remembered now, "It's the female student who disappeared some time ago."

Liszt preconceived: "Is she the water ghost these two days?"

Shan Zeng shook his head: "I can't be sure, but this matter must be investigated."

Liszt asked: "How to check?"

Shan Zeng: "To the police station."

"The police station will show you clues?" Liszt questioned.

Shan Zeng replied: "Have you forgotten Wu Xiaolu?"

"Eh? Is Wu Xiaolu one of yours? From the Central Investigation Bureau?" Liszt was surprised.

"Well, temporary investigator." Shan Zeng replied.

Wu Xiaolu is a member of the psychedelic deer tribe in the demon world. They all have a special ability to manipulate humans through consciousness.Wu Xiaolu and Liszt are colleagues, and he is a police officer from the demon world.

Liszt really didn't expect that Wu Xiaolu was also an investigator of the Central Crime Bureau.These things are not indicated on the household registration, and the central government has done a good job of keeping secrets.

Liszt put his shoulders on Shan Zeng, "Hey, tell me the truth, how many of your people are there in our county?"
