The big mouse held a glass of water and handed it to Li Jun cautiously. It said it was tea, but it was actually tap water, served in a disposable plastic cup.
"Put it aside."
The big mouse thoughtfully placed the water cup on the table and cut a plate of fruit for Li Jun.
Li Jun glanced at the rotten apples and rotten cantaloupe in the corner. He didn't know where the big mouse picked them up from, and he instantly lost his appetite.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Lai Wang, I come from the countryside."
Li Jun squinted his eyes: "What are you doing in the city?"
The big mouse Laiwang looked at Li Jun resentfully, he had just said that, why did the great immortal still ask?
Although he was dissatisfied with Li Jun, Lai Wang still answered honestly: "Make money and support your family."
"I come from the countryside. Our township is called Heitu Township. In the past, the main crop in the township was corn. In recent years, instead of pursuing a market economy, the villagers no longer grow corn. Instead, they only grow some inedible flowers and plants. Life has suddenly become difficult.
Get up."
"Before, there were tens of thousands of rat households in Heitu Township, but now we are the only one left, alas." Lai Wang said that he was sad and couldn't stop his tears from falling.
Li Jun frowned: "If there is no corn to eat, you can't eat bugs and bird eggs. Can you still starve the mice to death?"
"Now is a market economy. Everything is based on profit. In order to pursue economic benefits, pesticides are used ruthlessly. How can there be insects and bird eggs in the fields?"
Lai Wang quickly found a brick, sat on it like a human being, lit a cigarette, took a tired breath, and puffed out smoke from his nostrils.
It continued to chatter.
“After the villagers grew rich and became rich, every household built tiled buildings, raised pet cats, and added various mouse traps, rat poisons, and high-level rodent control technology. Countless rats died among us, and my family only escaped.
Tribulation.”
Li Jun became interested: "Because of you?"
"right."
Laiwang sighed.
"My family lived in a cellar. I don't know why, but I suddenly gained intelligence and slowly began to understand people's words. In order to survive, I picked up garbage and ate it. I survived several years of hard life. Later, the village renovated
Environmental pollution, garbage classification and stamping, garbage picked up.”
Laiwang looked tired and sighed repeatedly.
"In order to survive, I had to work in the city. I had no skills and could only carry bricks and cement on the construction site. Boss Yan was a bastard. He bullied me for being honest and deducted my wages. I couldn't make any money, and my wife and children had nothing to eat.
, I’m so miserable!”
Lai Wang burst into tears, and Li Jun was a little bit dumbfounded: "You are a big monster that can transform, how can you not support your wife and children?"
Laiwang's head shook like a rattle.
"I can't transform."
Li Jun said strangely.
"How can I work if I can't transform?"
Lai Wang told Li Jun that it could not transform, but it could cast illusions. The illusions affected human thinking and made them think it was a human body.
"Except for shadows, shadows are flaws, but under the influence of illusion, humans will actively ignore the flaws, just like this..."
When Lai Wang stood up, Li Jun felt a force coming from him. He allowed the force to affect his thinking, and a figure appeared in front of him.
He has a slightly fat body, thick lips, and a face full of vicissitudes of life. He is wearing a torn jacket, old sheepskin boots, and a cigarette in his ear.
This image is a classic honest person!
The type that makes people want to bully him at first sight.
The shadow behind Lai Wang was small and inconsistent with his figure. It was not a human shadow.
Li Jun nodded: "I believe you."
Laiwang took back the spell and was proud of himself: "Later, I found that money was everywhere in the city. These bottles and cardboard were all money. I never wanted to work again. The bosses in the city were bad. You can get rich by picking up rags. You see, great immortal...
…”
Lai Wang opened the drawer and took out a handful of money. They were all small pieces of money, and there were many coins. The money was stained with sweat.
"Well, there is indeed a lot of money in the city." Li Jun held it in for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"How did you gain spiritual intelligence? Are there other monsters in your village? Are there any monsters or ghosts in your area before?"
Li Jun asked three questions in a row.
"I don't know how I became intelligent. There are other monsters in our village. The ones I know about include half-corpse corpses and weasels. They all eat humans. They all became monsters in the past five years and cannot transform."
"Before my realm..."
Lai Wang thought hard: "There doesn't seem to be any monsters, but there are monsters in common people's legends, and I don't know about them either."
"Master Immortal, I like to watch human zombie movies. Uncle Jiu is very powerful. I am scared and dare not eat people. They all laugh at me for being a coward."
Lai Wang lowered his head in embarrassment. Humans bullied him and others laughed at him. He was a monster in such a miserable state.
"Classmate Li Jun, ask me about the body."
Lin Junyi stood aside, a little anxious, and mustered up the courage to interrupt Li Jun.
Li Jun waved his hand to signal him not to worry.
"Lai Wang, let me ask you a question. Are there any piles under this building?"
"What? What is a raw stake?"
Laiwang's eyes widened and he didn't understand why.
It is just a mouse that likes to watch zombie movies and does not understand some folk customs. Li Jun explained: "When people in ancient times built bridges, paved roads, and built houses, they would bury living people in the foundation, which is called driving piles."
"Oh, I understand."
Lai Wang nodded: "No, although Boss Yan is a bastard, he has not done any of these evil things. He just killed a big worker chicken before starting work."
Li Jun asked.
"Have any corpses been buried in the foundation here?"
"Does it count if you bury the big cock?"
"It doesn't count."
"Oh, then there are no corpses buried in this field."
Li Jun stared at it: "Are you sure?"
When Laiwang saw that Li Jun doubted his professionalism, he was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it. He nodded vigorously: "I'm sure, I was born to dig holes and have a sensitive nose. If something is buried in the ground, I will definitely not be able to hide it from you."
.”
Li Jun was silent.
He went through his memory carefully.
Suddenly, he realized that he had overlooked a key question: "Lin Junyi, are you sure this is the provincial capital?"
"I, I'm not sure. At that time, Xu Xuanxuan said she would take me to the provincial capital. I got in her car and the curtains were drawn in the car. I just chatted with her and didn't look at the road."
"Now that I think about it,..."
Lin Junyi was shocked: "We have to take the expressway from the urban area to the provincial capital. The car didn't stop along the way. Could it be?"
He didn't dare to say the next words.
What if he makes a mistake and tricks Li Jun from the county seat to the provincial capital, and people get angry?
I don't know why. On the one hand, he longed for Li Jun's help, but on the other hand, he was afraid of Li Jun.
Li Jun closed his eyes and put himself into the role of Xu Xuanxuan, a ruthless scumbag who would not hesitate to use women to deceive men for money.
Judging from the two targets she chose, Lin Junyi and Zhu Xinhao, they are both from poor families, with poor grades and poor interpersonal relationships.
