Elf: I reincarnated as a Ditto

Chapter 98 The Choice of Justice and Money

"Of course I know there's a problem!"

Xiaolu pursed her lips angrily, and casually ordered two ramen for herself and Su Qian on the list handed over by Leo.

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

Click, click, click, the sound of chopping vegetables sounded quickly and intensively on the chopping board.

"Among the information we got this morning, what that smelly smelly mud told us should be the truth, although what it said was inconsistent. What that factory director Jiang said was probably only the truth about the direction of smelly mud, and the rest was all nonsense. He

He just wants us to quickly go look for smelly mud in the sewer pipe network."

Su Qian transformed into Meow Meow and skillfully pulled out the pair of bamboo chopsticks from the chopstick bucket. As expected, Weng's claws were far less flexible and convenient than Meow Meow's when it came to eating.

"Yeah, I think so too." Xiaolu nodded in agreement and said worriedly, "According to the employee in the duty room and the open manhole cover, there should be other private detectives who have accepted the commission and entered the city.

The sewer network is connected. The competitive commission that Director Jiang said means that other people can also participate. What if they complete the commission first?"

If you don't earn commission fees and you still get this bad taste, you're really losing money.

"There's nothing we can do about it," Su Qian looked at Leo who was sitting back with a cat-like smile, "If we can't complete the commission and make no money, then we won't be able to pay your 800 yuan reward."

Leo was stunned for a moment, then whispered with a grimace: "Can you pay half of it?"

"The most I can do is erase the money you owe me." Su Qian took a step back.

"That's okay too."

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

Leo waved his hand impatiently, "Fighting and finding elves are not the same thing. I am still looking for a wife with the help of human network information. Who stipulates that if you are strong, you can do anything? You are biased."

What he said was so confident and well-founded that Su Qian was speechless.

"Okay, okay, you have a point." Su Qian ignored this 'trash' legend and stared into Xiaolu's eyes. "I probably want to understand the whole thing and what to do next."

Yes. Just Xiaolu, I want to ask you, justice or money, which side do you choose?"

"Justice!" Xiaolu answered without hesitation.

At the square table, Leo leaned on the table with his chin in one hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I knew it," Su Qian sighed helplessly and with a headache, "Judging from the information I got from Shou Shou Ni, this is what happened:

One day, a hole suddenly broke in the wall of the cubicle, which happened to be connected to the pipe leading to the sewer network. Then two stinky muds discovered the two holes, and out of curiosity, they got into the holes.

It ran away. The third thing it found was the smelly mud. It also wanted to go, but its body was bigger than the smelly mud, so it couldn't get in at once. So it started to destroy the wall, and the sound it made attracted the attention of the personnel on duty.

Attention, run over and use the elf ball to put all the remaining elves in the compartment back into the elf ball."

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

Su Qian raised two fingers, "So Director Jiang lied to us in two ways. One is the time. I'm afraid it was the time when he went to issue the commission two days ago. He showed that he just ran away and issued the commission, instead of

The time difference between the time when the hole in the wall was made, I suspect he was trying to find a construction team to fill the hole. This is probably something he didn’t want others to know.”

"Two beef ramen, one luxury secret barbecued pork ramen with pork chop, 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 clear soup noodles are dotted with slices of beef.

There were no noodles in the other bowl, and various side dishes were piled high in a 'hill'.

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

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

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

"Just one piece of noodles, thank you boss," Leo thanked sincerely, picked up his chopsticks with a smile, and picked up a piece of barbecued pork.

If he didn't know that he couldn't beat him, Su Qian would definitely let him have a fist as big as a sandbag and beat him until he was full.

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

"Oh," Xiaolu moved her portion of noodles in front of her and looked at Su Qian, "I just said that there were two places where we were deceived. What was the other one?"

"The second point is, of course, about the lost elf ball. You also saw in that duty room that the elf ball and the stinky mud are not together at all. It is impossible for stinky mud to take away or destroy the elf ball. And stinky mud said

It didn't leave, except that the hole was too small, and the other reason was that it was taken away by the elf ball."

Su Qian took a sip of the noodles from his chopsticks. The noodles tasted ordinary, "Think about it, it's impossible for the person on duty at that time to know which two slimes escaped, and then just throw away their pokeballs. It must have been the entire compartment 8

There are elf balls corresponding to each elf."

"Yeah, that's true," Xiaolu couldn't help but nodded, the noodles hanging in the air.

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

.”

"Well..." Xiaolu was keenly aware of the unfinished meaning in Su Qian's words, "Then what do you mean by justice?"

"Hey——!" Su Qian stopped his chopsticks and let out a long and helpless sigh, "When we work as private detectives, we are completing the commission and getting money from Factory Director Jiang, right?"

"Um."

"Director Jiang obviously just wants the private detective to find Shini, and doesn't want us to explore the reasons behind it. When we find the fired employee, get the two Poké Balls, and retrieve Shini, I have a hunch.

, out of justice, you may not return the two stinky muds to Factory Director Jiang."

Xiaolu was just slightly stunned, and almost immediately replied: "Then I won't pay it back."

The client needs to prepay the commission remuneration to the Private Detective Association, and the semi-official association will keep it, so that there will be no problem that the commission is completed and the client has no money to pay the remuneration. After the commission is completed, the client needs to report to the association

The association will pay the remuneration to the private detective only after confirming that the commission is completed.

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

If Xiaolu does not return the two pieces of stinky mud to the client, Factory Manager Jiang, or even goes against him, then where will the commission reward 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 spoonful of noodles and side dishes with an action that was impossible for a human being, and said nonchalantly: "Whatever you want, boss, I'm just a part-time worker."

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

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

Several guests at other tables who were close to her peeked at Xiaolu with a bit of sympathy in their eyes. This woman was quite good-looking, but why did she seem to have some brain problem?

He didn't even eat, he just listened to his elf meowing, and now he started clapping along with it, and his condition got worse.

Is that her brother on the opposite side? He kept silent all the time, only occasionally saying "oh" in response. It's not easy to lead a mentally ill patient.

Bang bang bang, Su Qian put down his paw and looked at Xiaolu's pretty face expectantly with a pair of beady eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like this?" Xiaolu put down her hand hesitantly, her face getting a light blush.

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

"It can't be done." Xiaolu turned her head and looked away from Su Qian, as if she had accidentally smeared lipstick on her cheeks.

"Didn't you know that person is called Song Zelin? Can't you just rely on his name?"

"No," Xiaolu explained in a low voice, "because Song Zelin is a symbolic term. 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 no relationship between me and him.

There is no connection, so it is impossible to find him. And the worst thing is that there may be, or there have been, many Song Zelins 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 this, "You mean it's best to find an item related to him in order to find him."

"Well, divination is very important for finding specific targets." Xiao Lu affirmed.

In the successful case, the divination tool used to find Yamauchi Dun was the pair of sunglasses. In the failed case, the divination tool used to find the murderer was the corpse.

As for unfounded divination that is looking for non-specific targets. For example, if Xiaolu wants to find a human being, the target will immediately point to the diners at the noodle stall.

If you stand in a garbage treatment plant and look for stinky mud through divination, your target will be the nearest stinky mud in the factory, which is meaningless.

"So the best way is to ask his co-workers where his home is? Even if you don't see anyone there, it's easy to find a divination tool," Su Qian thought of the four men with bad attitudes sitting in the duty room.

While Su Qian and Xiao Lu were discussing countermeasures, Leo had already finished the noodles, stood up with the bowl in hand, 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 factory director Jiang. Those workers have met me and are very hostile to us."

Gaining trust, right? In addition to being a private detective, Xiaolu is also a cooperator of the Investigation Bureau. She sneaks into the factory secretly and appears under a new identity.

"Xiaolu, aren't you a cooperator of the Investigation Bureau? How about using this identity?"

Su Qian has always been good at how to deceive others, "Just say that you discovered something was wrong with Factory Director Jiang, and deliberately used your identity as a private detective to cover up and sneak into the investigation. Now you need the other party's cooperation to provide more information. Yu

Did the office give you any documents to prove your identity?”

"No, cooperators don't have that kind of thing, maybe only regular operators do," Xiao Lu said with wrinkles on her forehead in worry.

Also, what documents does a temporary worker need?

"Leave it to me," Su Qian patted his chest confidently, "then you can say that you are an agent of the Investigation Bureau."

Holding a bowl full of noodles, Leo sat back in his seat happily. This made Su Qian have to wonder, this guy's legendary realm of 'infinite' effect wouldn't mean that he could eat infinitely, right?

The sun was blazing in the sky, and two sneaky figures, one tall and one short, were hiding in the narrow shadow of the west wall of the garbage treatment plant.

After a while, a purple Gengar emerged from the shadow, "Sorry for the long wait. When I was passing by, I saw Factory Director Jiang bringing a male private detective into the factory. 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. Xiaolu, teleport in later, close the door first, and then reveal your identity and ask questions. Leo, hide and wait for us to come out.

ah."

"Okay." "Oh."

Gengar's body burst into colorful light, rapidly becoming smaller, smaller, and smaller again.

The light dissipated, and a brown booklet appeared in mid-air. It was covered in a hard shell, with a red and white Poké Ball on the front, and the name of the Alliance Investigation Bureau in italics written underneath.

Xiaolu caught the booklet, opened it, and covered her mouth in surprise. Su Qian hadn't told her about the effect of lv2 transformation yet.

Inside the booklet, on the right side is her name, department of the search bureau, date of birth, and position. On the left side is a photo of herself, in a police uniform version, except that 'Xiao Lu''s eyes are not red.

, but a pair of black beady eyes.

Naturally, everything from the form to the content of this certificate was randomly created by Su Qian based on his own imagination.

But what does this have to do with it? Even an insider like Xiaolu doesn’t know what the ID of a search bureau officer looks like, let alone an ordinary worker at a garbage treatment plant.

(Actually, there is no such thing. It is a secret unit. Who usually goes out with their ID and waits to be exposed after being caught?)

"Oh, that's amazing! You can still do such a thing," even Leo couldn't help but praise.

"I'm leaving." Xiaolu's figure became blurry and mottled, and disappeared in an instant.

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

When the two workers in the duty room saw the sudden appearance of the girl, one squirted the water she had just drank onto the ground, and the other dropped the cigarette in her hand onto her clothes.

"Quiet! I am actually Xiao Lu, an operator from the Alliance Investigation Bureau." Xiao Lu blushed and showed her ID to the two of them, while closing the door with telekinesis. "In the morning, I just pretended to be a private detective to investigate.

The target of this investigation 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 from his mouth was the uncle who was the first to speak out in the morning, holding a thermos cup in his hand. He changed from his indifferent attitude in the morning, and his eyes filled with tears of excitement, "Has the Alliance finally noticed this moth like Old Dog Jiang?

?Hurry and help Zelin."
