Mu Zhong did not attend the banquet, so he asked the person who divided the pork for more than ten kilograms of plum blossom meat, and then left.

Back home.

The big cat was in a hurry to eat, but in a hurry to play. It ran to the edge of the chessboard, pressed its small claws on the chess piece, and started to 'meow'.

"Don't worry, I'll put the meat first." As he said that, Mu Zhong walked into the house.

There is a large cabinet in the living room, and a large number of "cleaning runes" are attached to the inner wall of the cabinet, so that it can be used as a "cleaning cabinet".

After Mu Zhong put the meat inside, he glanced at the corner of the living room.

He just felt someone else's sight, "Alu, is it you?"

In the huge living room, no one responded.

“…”

"Forget it, keep crushing that stupid cat."

...

The big cat played chess crazy. From the afternoon, he kept pestering the wooden clock until late at night. Although he lost both sides, he would excitedly ask for another game after losing.

"I've been asleep, and the night is almost half over." Mu Zhong's body was sleepy.

The big cat looked fierce and cute, and it slapped the chessboard hard: "Meow!!!"

Judging from its appearance, if it doesn't continue playing chess with it, it will kill its relatives for justice.

"Dare you yell at me?"

Under his sunglasses, Mu Zhong widened his eyes and pointed his hand, "Thirsty sleep!"

The white light penetrated into the cat's body, and the big cat rose to resist. It popped out its sharp claws, jumped up, and then... fell asleep in Mu Zhong's arms.

Mu Zhong clicked the cat's head, "You guys can't do chess skills."

He stood up with the cat in his arms and was about to take it back to the bedroom to sleep when suddenly, a red phantom penetrated his legs.

"Hiss-" It was cold.

The little fox Alu appeared in the living room. Looking at the shape of the phantom, she was posing with her hands on her hips: "Don't bully the kitten."

Mu Zhong grabbed the cat's chin with one hand, causing the cat to squeeze out a funny expression, "How could I bully it? Look, how sound does it sleep?"

"You used magic. Are you an evil magician?" Alu seemed to care a lot about this.

"I am a kind magician, do you know? This afternoon, an oversized wild boar broke out from the forest. The wild boar hurt the town, and it was defeated by me."

“How big is it?”

"It stood up, as high as the ceiling of this room. Do you know how I beat it?"

"How to defeat?" - Curious.

Mu Zhong raised the big cat, "I used magic to turn this little cat into a super big cat, a big cat bigger than a big wild boar."

"Really? Don't lie to me."

"Hmph~ I, a great magician, could I deceive a dead little girl? Wait, wait, when the cat wakes up tomorrow, I will show you in front of you."

"I want to see it now."

"Now it will wake up the cat."

“It can go to bed later.”

“…”

Mu Zhong did not do such an immoral thing as "wake up the cat".

...

...

The next morning.

Mu Zhong was awakened by a cat fist.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a black cat slapping him in the face. He was excited and he controlled the cat in his arms.

"Hey, you want to rebel, are you?"

"Meow Gu~ Meow Gu~" - Cat wants to play chess.

"You are too addicted to chess..."

Get up, magically wash, change clothes.

——After the mess, Mu Zhong and Mao had breakfast while playing chess.

"Today, I will use 30% of the chess power to play with you."

...

It's almost noon.

A shout suddenly came from outside the house:

"Master Magician!" "Mr. Garfield!" "Master. Garfield!" - All three titles have been shouted several times.

Mu Zhong noticed the sound and hurried out.

He saw a public official wearing a uniform standing outside the yard with a information bag.

"Sorry, I've made you wait for a long time."

"I haven't been waiting for a long time. I've just arrived for a while." The other party handed over the information bag, "This is the information that Mayor Hend asked me to bring to you. Please keep it with it."

"Oh, OK, thank you."

After taking the information, Mu Zhong took out a large envelope containing money from his magic pocket, "This is a special sponsor of 50,000 coins to Mayo Town. Please hand them over to the mayor."

The other party took the envelope and found two hundred yuan engraved coins under the envelope, and looked surprised: "This is..."

Mu Zhong showed a meaningful smile: "Thank you for your hard work, you will go there."

"Oh, thank you Lord Magician." - Surprise.

“…”

………

Back to the living room.

Mu Zhong took a step forward, then opened the envelope and checked the information inside.

Sieve useless content, the information says:

On May 12, 770, Tianxuan Li, there was a murder case at No. 36, South Third Road. Soto (Elu's father) and his family were brutally killed by an unknown magician.

According to neighbors, two days ago, I saw an unknown beast-eared magician and Soto talked in the yard. Both sides talked and laughed, but they didn't look like enemies.

Subsequent investigations found that there were traces of three magicians on site.

The case was too complicated and the investigation was terminated.

...

After reading it, Mu Zhong put the information into his magic pocket, and then while playing chess with the cat, he was thinking about the events described by the information.

"I can't figure it out."

‘The case is too complicated’ because those magicians are not from their own country and cannot be investigated.

Back then, there were '3 magicians' in this house. One of them might be Ellu's father's guest, so what about the remaining two?

And...why did you kill the Ellu family? What is the motive?

"I have to understand the family's family situation..."

...

Perhaps because at night, the magic will naturally become more active, the phantom of Alu will only appear after the night comes.

That night.

Hello everyone, our public account will find cash and red envelopes every day. You can get it by following it. For the last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Official account[]

Alu emerged from under the floor early.

As soon as she came out, she gave someone a heart-warming feeling.

Mu Zhong was drinking coffee at the time. He was so cold that his body trembled, causing some of the coffee to tremble.

"Elu, can you change the warmer way of greeting?"

"cannot."

Alu walked to the chessboard and said, "I saw you played with the kitten all day. What are you playing?"

"It's chess, do you want to learn it?"

Alu reached out her right hand towards the chess piece, and without surprise, her hand penetrated through.
