Another consideration is to deliberately leave material for Zi Ning.

If he comes over and solves the case, how will Zi Ning make up a story then?

Sometimes, pretending to understand something when you don't understand it is a skill. It's a bit difficult to pretend not to understand something when you clearly understand it.

This is also the reason why Su Hao went out alone to smoke.

Who let him know the ins and outs of the entire case.

In fact, he just felt that this case was somewhat familiar at first. After walking around the scene, he was basically convinced that this was the first episode in a small-budget online drama "The Detective Files" starring Mr. Chen that he had seen in his previous life. case.

As for the drowned baby causing trouble in the toilet...

He decided to try his newly acquired skill [Guanyin Curse] and directly transcend the other person to reincarnate. In this life, he was thrown into the toilet sewer by a cruel young mother and drowned before he could see the world. He hoped that he could be reincarnated in the next life. A good family.

This baby who was abandoned by his mother is actually a poor person.

Not long after Zi Ning rushed in, everyone in the house rushed outside, led by Johnston towards the path by the lake. Zi Ning quickly came back and motioned for Su Hao to follow, "Hey, the detective is indeed a detective after all, just go inside After observing the bathroom for a while and asking a few questions, the case was solved."

"The answer will be revealed soon, why don't you come over and take a look?"

Su Hao smiled mysteriously, "How can this case be so simple?"

The voices of the few people speaking were normal, but Johnston's ears in front of the crowd moved, apparently hearing Su Hao's words.

The shortest distance between this house and the artificial lake is only about five or six meters. Since this community has been built for a while, the artificial lake is covered with water plants, and in some places you can still see scattered lotus leaves floating on the water.

Mrs. Wen’s explanation is that some residents paid money to contract this artificial lake and put fry in it to raise fish.

Johnston walked to the water plants beside the steps. The water plants here were more lush than other places. He picked up a branch from the side and peeled off the upper water plants. Several gray-black backs suddenly appeared on the water. catfish.

There is a drainage pipe opening where the catfish gather.

Johnston took off his sunglasses, pointed at a few motionless silver carps on the water with a branch, and said, "Is this pipeline connecting your kitchen and bathroom?"

Mrs. Wen nodded in confusion, "At first, it was because the sewer pipe of the house was not connected to the community's sewage system. My husband even tried to speculate with the developer once, but then he got used to it. It's just that our bathroom on the first floor is too low. The toilet is often clogged.”

Johnston looked back at Su Hao thoughtfully, as if the next words were meant for Su Hao.

"A catfish this big would definitely make a lot of noise if it makes a fuss."

Mrs. Wen retorted: "Are you saying that the baby crying in the house was caused by these catfish? How is this possible?"

Johnston continued to explain, "Catfish don't like sunlight and usually start to look for food after dark. Because someone lived in your house before, the dirty water in the kitchen and bathroom was discharged from here. Catfish are omnivores and have developed a habit of gathering food over time. A habit here.”

"This pipe is made of hollow iron. Although the iron pipe is strong, it is very conducive to the transmission of sound. After dark, catfish gather together to compete for food. The noise caused by such a large catfish will definitely not be small, plus Upwind sounds amplify these sounds, which is why you hear strange noises in your house at night.”

Mrs. Wen was still a little doubtful. She took out a mobile phone and suddenly played a shrill and terrifying baby cry. Several people around her couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"It's just this kind of baby cry. It was recorded by the previous guest who canceled the lease. How could it be a catfish?"

Su Hao suddenly interrupted: "Whether it's caused by catfish or not, Mrs. Wen, I promise you that I will help you solve the problem tonight, and you can rent it out normally tomorrow."

Mrs. Wen was overjoyed, "Really?"

"of course it's true."

Mrs. Wen knew that Su Hao was the youngest among the people, but the biggest official there, so she couldn't help but believe it. She took another look at the few catfish gathered motionless on the water surface, gritted her teeth and shouted: "You are the ones causing trouble." , I have lost a lot of rent in vain, let me go back and pick you up with a net and kill you."

Several people looked at each other after these words.

Zi Ning reminded: "Mrs. Wen, this catfish probably grew up eating the feces discharged from your bathroom. Can such a fish be eaten?"

Mrs. Wen proudly argued: "Who said I ate it myself? I caught it and sold it to the aquatic product center. As for the buyers...how do they know what these catfish have eaten? Besides, don't catfish grow up eating dirty things?" "

"Xiao He, come and help me later."

Seeing that the biggest trouble could be solved at night, Mrs. Wen suddenly let herself go.

After Mrs. Wen and Xiao He left, Johnston looked at Su Hao curiously, "SIR Su, do you think my reasoning just now is correct?"

The protagonist in the original work, private detective Mr. Chen, borrowed a lot of advanced equipment and visited the first two tenants of this house to get the result. Now Johnston can just use a structural diagram and a few questions to get the result. Find this answer that seems reasonable so far.

Already quite powerful.

You know, even the most powerful detective must first master certain evidence and information before he can follow the clues and deduce the correct answer from various clues.

Just like a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

The information Johnston now has is clearly not as much as that of Teacher Chen in the original work.

"I recognize Mr. Zhuang's reasoning and analysis ability, but Mr. Zhuang might as well think about it from another direction. What if this is a mystery?"

"The baby's screams that Mrs. Wen played just now on her mobile phone were horrifying and harsh, and they were clearly filled with resentment."

Johnston spread his hands and said, "So, my judgment and reasoning just now were wrong?"

Su Hao nodded, "It's wrong."

"Okay, I will follow the trick direction you mentioned again, but I am not proficient in this aspect. I know a master who is said to have Yin and Yang eyes. Let's see what his judgment is like."

Chapter 88 Feng Shui Master A Mole

Huang Huotu and Zi Ning looked at Johnston and then at Su Hao, feeling as if they were having a quarrel over each other.

Su Hao shrugged, took a puff of smoke and said: "This case is actually not complicated. We will see the outcome in the evening. An Ning, please go out and buy some food and drink. We may have to stay in this house." overnight."

After Su Hao said this, he took out a HKD 500 face value and handed it over.

Johnston held the phone alone and went to the long embankment by the artificial lake to make a call. About three to ten minutes later, the Feng Shui master invited by Johnston came.

This guy was wearing a black suit, had curly hair, was about 40 years old, was wearing a watch and smoking a cigar, with an imposing attitude.

Su Hao noticed that there was a huge black mole on the opponent's right eyebrow (a character in Yin Yang Road 1).

Before the person arrived, a voice came over, "Zhuangzi, you know me. Time is very precious to me. When I received your call, I dropped my business and came over without saying a word. That's enough. I’m giving you face, but you can’t default on the labor fees you promised me.”

Johnston awkwardly introduced to Su Hao, Huang Huotu and others next to him: "This is a mole from Hong Kong's famous Feng Shui master. These guys are SIR from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department of the Kowloon Branch."

A mole glanced at Su Hao and the others lightly, not seeming to care much, "Miscellaneous Affairs Department, I know, isn't it just a department composed of stupid young people who were assigned to jobs after offending their bosses? I heard that they are assigned to important positions. It’s specially used by the case team to wipe their butts.”

Huang Huo's rustic veins popped out, "Hey, you have to be careful what you say."

This sentence undoubtedly stirred up Huang Huotu's previous unpleasant memories, which was why he reacted so violently.

Su Hao stopped him and said, "It's up to him to talk to others. No matter what others say, they are here to help us solve the case."

After mocking Su Hao and others, a mole suddenly took out a POSS machine from his arms, "Are you transferring money or swiping a card? 3 Hong Kong dollars, thank you for your patronage."

The expression on Johnston's face was a bit wonderful.

To be honest, he is not very familiar with a mole. After all, they belong to different business areas. He was introduced by an acquaintance. It is said that this guy has a pair of yin and yang eyes and can see some dirty things that ordinary people cannot see. In the Feng Shui industry, Very famous.

The appearance fee is calculated on an hourly basis, which is HKD 3 per hour.

If it wasn't for the purpose of competing with Su Hao this time, Johnston wouldn't have invited him here.

Johnston silently took out a credit card from his pocket and handed it to the other party. Soon the POS machine beeped and a receipt came out. Zi Ning happened to be carrying a few plastic bags and came back from shopping. She walked over curiously. After taking a look, he immediately exclaimed, "Oh, [-] Hong Kong dollars an hour. How much money does a Feng Shui master make?"

A mole retracted its POS pole gracefully, glanced at Zi Ning, and said teasingly: "Beauty, if you have any business with Feng Shui, remember to contact me, and I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Johnston coughed and said, "Master, I've collected the money, let's start working."

If this guy also counts the 30 minutes on the road, it means that the 3 Hong Kong dollars he spent only bought the other party's next 30 minutes. This guy is worse than him.

A mole returned to seriousness, "Tell me the situation again."

Soon, Johnston introduced the information he had learned.

"Master, do you want to go to the bathroom and take a look?"

"Don't worry, there is something wrong with the feng shui of this house."

A mole took out a pair of sunglasses from his jacket pocket and put them on. He stepped back and looked at the surrounding building pattern. "Look, isn't the location of this house very strange? It shouldn't be there in the first place." Here, it seems to be out of tune with the surrounding environment.”

No matter what, it was the first time for everyone to come into contact with such an expensive Feng Shui master, and they subconsciously wanted to see it.

Everyone followed each other's example and looked at the surrounding environment, and found that the place under their feet was a long embankment. On one side of the long embankment was an artificial lake, and next to the artificial lake was Mrs. Wen's two-story building.

On the other side are other corridor buildings in the community.

This long embankment is not high, only less than 1 meter above the ground. It was obviously specially built for this artificial lake.

But its existence separates Mrs. Wen’s house from other buildings in the community.

A mole continued: "This house is an illegal building and should not exist at all. Have you noticed that the word 'no' becomes more like 'wood'. If the wood is beautiful in the forest, it will be destroyed by the wind." Artificial lakes belong to water, and water produces trees.”

"The existence of this illegal building is equivalent to committing a crime. There will definitely be some strange situations inside."

Everyone looked around again, and it was exactly what the mole said.

The buildings in the long embankment are neatly arranged in a line. The long embankment is equivalent to the top horizontal line of the character 'bu', and this illegal building becomes a dot above the character '木'.

Could it really be a hoax?

Johnston thought for a while and asked: "You are saying that there is something wrong with the feng shui of this house, but how does this relate to the baby crying from the bathroom every night?"

A mole smoked a cigar and shook his head and explained: "If Feng Shui is not good, it is easy to cause bad luck. This is just a general environment, not the main reason for triggering things, but an external factor. The real decisive factor is internal factors. I need Do you know who lived in this house and what they did on a daily basis?"

"Especially the women who have lived there, who have taken care of children or who have given birth to children."

"Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

Everyone followed a mole with suspicion. Zi Ning secretly gave Su Hao a few plastic bags in his hand, poked Su Hao with his elbow, and asked quietly: "Hey, do you believe what he said?"

Just now, a mole made a eloquent talk, giving everyone a sense of unconsciousness, as if the other person really had something in his belly.

Su Hao hesitated for a while and said: "Feng Shui is something you believe in, but it doesn't exist if you don't believe it."

The profession of Feng Shui is the same as the divination Fuji in the previous life. It is too obscure and difficult to understand, and the lines are like mountains. If in the previous life, Su Hao could tell that the other party was probably a liar, but this is a comprehensive world.

He did not recognize the man's true identity.

In fact, you don’t need to judge the truth or falsehood of the other party’s words, you only need to judge the truth or falsehood of the other party’s identity.

Doesn’t he claim to have yin and yang eyes?

Take him to an unclean place and you will know.

A mole kept sneezing as soon as he entered Mrs. Wen's house. "This house is very humid. If an old man lives in it, he will definitely get sick over time."

"Who lived in this house before?"

Mrs. Wen and Xiao He left long ago after catching catfish. Johnston introduced the tenant information he had learned about before, "A few days ago, there was a tenant from the aquatic center who lived here. The man lived alone. Before that, there was a couple." Young couple."

A mole immediately asserted: "The aquatic center is the place where animals are killed, and it is most likely to cause taboos. As for the young couple who were the previous tenants, maybe the baby's cry fell on that young couple."

Su Hao, who followed him into the house, paused and couldn't help but look at him again. This Feng Shui master really had a lot of skills.

He actually got it right one by one.

Soon a mole came to the bathroom on the second floor. He sniffed it hard for a few times and murmured: "It smells like fish, and there is also a faint smell of blood."

Johnston had smelled these two smells before, but he didn't say them out loud.

He pointed to the toilet, "The baby crying comes from down here every night."

A mole pressed the flush switch of the toilet, stood in front of him and looked down for a moment, then suddenly took out his crotch and tried it on himself. Zi Ning at the door of the bathroom immediately covered his eyes and shrank back, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, "Is there any Make a mistake, you have no quality at all.”

A mole finished shaking the bird, pulled up his crotch, and shook his head: "I don't see any reason for it yet. Doesn't the baby's cry only appear at night? Why don't you just book my trip for today and only accept you? 20 is enough."

Johnston's face turned dark instantly.

"Can't you run again tonight? The time counts in this hour."

A mole looked at his watch and said hehe, "There are still 15 minutes left in your hour. How can that be enough for me to run alone at night? Besides, as a handsome and successful man, it is inevitable that there will be some entertainment at night." , I also often go to bars to take care of some beautiful girls who are in poor economic situations. I just treat them as poverty alleviation, how can I get away?"

After speaking, he urged: "Is there anything else? I'll leave without you. Contact me next time you have business."

Johnston looked at Su Hao and shook his head.

After a mole left the house, Su Hao quietly winked at Zi Ning and asked her to go out and ask for his phone number.

If it was a liar, Su Hao would certainly ignore it, but along the way just now he felt that what the other party said was correct, and this aroused his interest.

Such talents may be useful in the future.

After waiting for a mole to leave, Johnston stood in the middle of the house holding the guide stick. After thinking for a while, he took the initiative and said: "Sir Su, I just made the decision without permission to invite the other party here. I didn't disturb you to solve the case, right?"

From the beginning to the end, he noticed that Su Hao was the only one with a relaxed look on his face, which made him even more confused.

Su Hao smoked a cigarette and replied: "Mr. Zhuang helps us investigate the case for free. Of course I can't ask for it."

Johnston nodded and said: "That's good. In fact, I couldn't help but become curious after hearing about Su Sir's deeds of repeatedly solving strange cases at a young age, especially the strange case that happened in the Kowloon Walled City. , To tell you the truth, I also quietly checked the files back then, and also visited the Kowloon Walled City, and finally concluded based on the autopsy reports of victims over the years that the person who committed the crime may not be human."

"That's why I gave up."
