Wang Xiaobao's father's words not only cut off the idea that Mo Xi and I would find Yu Ruyi immediately, but also reminded us that the time we have left to investigate is actually running out. If we can't find Yu Ruyi before Wang Xiaobao dies, everything will be lost.
It's all meaningless.
So after investigating for a while and confirming that there were no clues worth investigating at the scene, I took Mo Xi and hid in a corner and suggested to her: "Mo Xi, we don't have much time now. In my opinion,
, how about you let me use my ability?"
"You mean your psychic eye?"
After seeing me nodding, Mo Xi shook her head and said, "No, I don't want you to use your abilities."
"Why?" I asked completely puzzled.
"If you want to use your own abilities, then my previous investigation will soon be meaningless? Now I have a rare opportunity to investigate cases like the detectives on TV. I want to experience it and use my own power to find clues."
Mo Xi's words made me feel a bit like a child who has not yet grown up, acting coquettishly towards his father, so I immediately retorted: "Mo Xi, what time has it been? Don't forget that Wang Xiaobao's life has already been
The situation is at stake!"
"But didn't his attending doctor say that Wang Xiaobao has at least one more day to live?" Mo Xi raised a finger at me and said, "So Sijiu, give me an afternoon. If it's dark,
If I haven't found any clues before, then you can use your psychic eyes."
Seeing the determination in Mo Xi's eyes, I had no choice but to say to her, "Okay, then how do you plan to continue the investigation?"
"I haven't thought of it yet, so now I want to go for a walk outside to change my mind. You can stay here with Wang Xiaobao's father."
After that, before I could stop her, Mo Xi had already walked out. Although she asked me to stay with Wang Xiaobao's father, I couldn't really let her wander outside alone. After all, although Mo Xi is now
She is from our Investigation Department, but she is also a valuable talent that the Research Department values. If something happens to her, I am afraid that a "war" will break out between the Research Department and our Investigation Department.
So I had no choice but to go back and find Wang Xiaobao's father first, and told him that we were going to look for clues elsewhere so that he wouldn't have to wait for us, and we would contact him if anything happened.
After I finished explaining, I immediately chased him out, hoping to meet up with Mo Xi.
But when I came outside, Mo Xi had already disappeared. I had no choice but to catch passers-by and inquire about Mo Xi's whereabouts. With their guidance, I finally caught up with Mo Xi.
When I saw Mo Xi, she was standing in front of a school in the village in a daze. I walked up and patted her on the shoulder. After waking her up from her daze, I asked: "Mo Xi, what are you doing?"
Why are you so confused on the road?"
Mo Xi came back to her senses, and when she saw it was me, she pointed to the school next to her and said, "Sijiu, this seems to be the high school where Wang Xiaobao goes to."
I turned my head and took a look at the sign in front of the school, and found that it was true. At the same time, I also thought that it seemed that the people in this village had really made a lot of money because of the tomb robbing business. Otherwise, based on their village’s
With the population here, it is impossible for the Education Bureau to build a high school specifically here.
At this time, Mo Xi suddenly said to me: "Sijiu, when I saw this school just now, I just thought of one thing, that is, we can find the students here to inquire about the news. The adults here are because of their participation.
The reason for robbing tombs is that outsiders like us are very wary, but those children are not, so I thought maybe we can find out something from these children."
After hearing this, I said, "But it's summer vacation now, and the children in school have already gone on vacation. Where are you going to find them?"
Mo Xi smiled and said: "Of course we go to a place in the village where children tend to gather. Do you remember that there is an Internet cafe at the entrance of the village? Let's go and have a look."
While walking towards the Internet cafe, Mo Xi also told me the new ideas that came into her mind when she was wandering alone just now.
Sometimes, I really have to admire Mo Xi's brain circuit. After she couldn't find any clues about the thief who stole Yu Ruyi, she would find another way. Thinking that the thief would steal Yu Ruyi, I'm afraid it wasn't for Yu Ruyi's sake.
Value, but for its ability to fulfill wishes. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the thief did not take away all the other antiques in Wang Xiaobao's house, but only took a piece of jade Ruyi.
And if the truth of the matter is really as Mo Xi guessed, then the thief who got the jade Ruyi will never be able to remain silent. Having the jade Ruyi that can fulfill his wishes, he will definitely not be able to resist the temptation of the jade Ruyi.
, make your wish to Yu Ruyi.
So Mo Xi planned to find the children in the village and inquire from them to see if anyone's fate had changed in the town recently.
After that, Mo Xi and I went to the Internet cafe. It was just as she thought. Most of the children who graduated from high school in the village gathered here to play games. And from the mouths of these children, Mo Xi really
We found some clues that seemed worth investigating.
From the mouths of those children, we discovered that the lives of two children in the village have undergone considerable changes in recent times.
One of the children's family didn't know why, but suddenly it became a lot richer. They entertained guests and bought things all day long. There was also a boy who was always disliked by others, but now he has little girls hanging around him every day.
Although the information was obtained from these high school students who had just graduated, and because of their age, the intelligence targets they provided were mostly limited to their own peers, but Mo Xi attached great importance to them and asked these two questions clearly.
After killing a child, he took me immediately to the village to investigate.
However, it is obvious that the credibility of these high school students' words is somewhat insufficient after all. After our investigation, we found that these two children were normal, and the changes that occurred in them were not due to Yu Ruyi, but because of other people.
reasons.
The child whose family was already wealthy suddenly became wealthy because his family recently sold an antique. The boy who was disliked by others before is now surrounded by girls.
It's because he developed a little late and only started to grow recently. He has become taller and stronger, and he looks much more handsome than before. Naturally, he has become popular with girls.
The final investigation results of these two pieces of information made Mo Xi and I a little bit dumbfounded.
I said to her: "Mo Xi, it seems that your idea is not working after all. There is not much time left before dark. If you can't find any valuable clues, I will use my ability."
.”
The failure of the two investigations made Moxi very angry. After hearing my words, she became dissatisfied and said: "Why are you in a hurry? I still have time."
I smiled and was about to say something when I saw Mo Xi's eyes suddenly fixed in a certain direction. I followed her gaze and found that we were again next to the high school where Wang Xiaobao studied.
.
At this moment, the side door of the high school was opened, and a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher was saying goodbye to a boy who looked like a student of the school and his mother.
After the boy and his mother left the school, the middle-aged man who looked like a teacher was about to close the side door and return to the school. But at this time, I found that Mo Xi had rushed over without knowing when and pulled him away.
The middle-aged man stayed, and at the same time he took out the ID in his arms and asked him some things.
Seeing this, I quickly ran over. When I rushed to them, I happened to hear the middle-aged man say: "So that's it... the kid just now came to complete the procedures for dropping out of school."
"Procedure for dropping out of school? Is there any reason?" Mo Xi asked.
The middle-aged man said: "The child's father was in a car accident recently. Although he is fine, his leg was broken. Because his father used to be the only source of income for the family, the family needs the child to help support the family. Alas,
It's such a pity. Obviously he can take the college entrance examination as long as he persists for one more year. With that child's grades, although it is impossible to get into Shuimu like Wang Xiaobao, there should be hope for universities in the province."
