Chapter 109: Who is the villain

"That human-shaped light smoke is the reason why the Daoist Master Qinghe failed to perform the technique."

Qin Yi sipped his wine alone and listened to the analysis of the tassel in the ring.

"If I'm not mistaken, there is probably an ancient corpse deep in the ley lines here, which caused drought."

Qin Yi said curiously, "It's still raining today, and there is also groundwater underground. Where did this drought come from?"

"Dry? No." Tassel said: "The rain and water in the sky are formed by the interaction of the yin and yang of the heaven and the earth. To the extent that it can cause drought, the practice of the drought has been extremely high. Right now, it has not reached this level, it is only It's just an ancient corpse with certain cultivation skills... Of course, if it continues to develop, it may become a drought."

"Then why haven't I heard of other people's well water problems, why only focus on Wang's well water?"

"It has something to do with the flash of lightning. Someone pulled the drying power of the ancient corpse into the Wang family's house, which caused the ground water to not be able to afford, and even the ditches were dry."

Qin Yi subconsciously looked at the fat shopkeeper on the counter.

Monster, live, pay attention to Wang's house... This clue is too clear, Conan is not needed to solve the case, the truth is already clear.

The fat shopkeeper was pouring himself a drink leisurely, his small eyes narrowed, as if he was enjoying his wine. Seemingly sensing Qin Yi's gaze, he also turned to look at Qin Yi, his chubby smile looked a bit cute.

"The shopkeeper." Qin Yi raised his glass and gave a toast: "It's really hard to open a store during the New Year's Day, and not close to watch the Spring Festival Gala or something."

"What is the Spring Festival Gala?" The fat shopkeeper said with a smile: "It's a restaurant, it's like this, many regular customers are used to drinking a few drinks in the evening, and they close when everyone leaves. But the customers are not local people, this is a big New Year's Eve. It's hard work to be running around."

"Seeing how hard I work, can this meal be free?"

"The guest is joking, a small business..."

"Then I'll invite you." Qin Yi smiled and said, "Come for a drink?"

At this time, the last customer of the restaurant had also checked out and left. The fat shopkeeper didn't say anything. He slowly arranged the tables and chairs, and then slowly closed the door. After closing the last door, he still looked a little out of breath, acting like an ordinary person. Mortal fat paper makes no difference.

Qin Yi looked at him with interest.

After the shop was completely closed, the fat shopkeeper took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat, walked over with a sway, sat down in front of Qin Yi and lamented, "It's inconvenient to be fat, unlike a guest officer, this spring is so cold. He actually wears a blue shirt."

Qin Yi said with a smile: "It's better to be fat, it's more suitable for Miss Wang's family."

The fat shopkeeper said brightly, "Let me tell you, the Wang family's young lady looks like she can give birth. If she gets married as a wife, she can give birth to a litter..."

"A litter of pigs or a litter of mice?"

"Uh..." The fat shopkeeper winked his eyes: "It's almost the same."

Qin Yi couldn't help laughing: "Your surname is the shopkeeper? Could it be Pi?"

"You're talented." The fat shopkeeper didn't answer this question, but instead asked: "The guests went to the Wang's house today, what did they gain? Have you met Miss Wang's?"

Qin Yi twitched his cheeks: "The lady should leave it to your Excellency."

"Could it be that the guests really went to open the well?"

"That's right, I'm a professional dredging pipeline." Qin Yi said, "Since the shopkeeper is always paying attention to Miss Wang's family, do you know anything about the well water drying up?"

"I know a little." The fat shopkeeper took a sip of wine, and suddenly became alert: "It's agreed that you will invite me?"

"Yes, yes, I asked you. The more you know about the well water, the more I can ask you."

"That's good." The fat shopkeeper drank the wine leisurely and said slowly: "Actually, this well dried up once three years ago. At that time, the Taoist priests on the mountain came to divert water to solve the problem. It relapsed three years later and Wang Members outsiders are reluctant to ask Taoist priests for those so-called magic tools - they say they don't need money, but those magic tools are all money."

"So hang up the list and invite someone else?"

"Yeah, they've all gone to the county and the county. As a result, after half a year of tossing, many so-called skilled workers have come to see it, but they are helpless. I heard that there is a small country in the southern border that has even changed its king three times. No one has been able to fix such a mere well, and the year will not pass..."

Qin Yi glared at him: "If you talk about the well, just talk about the well, and if you talk about that country in the southern border, I won't be treating you any more!"

"Oh." The fat shopkeeper weighed another piece of beef and ate it happily before sighing: "This Daoist Qinghe came by himself, and Wang Yuanwai didn't invite him at all."

"Uninvited?" Qin Yi asked curiously, "Could it be for the sake of peace in the village?"

"Maybe." The fat shopkeeper blinked: "Wang's family has no water, so why don't they send others to fetch water for their family from all over the world? If they are complaining, maybe the immortals can't stand it anymore."

Qin Yi looked at him and said nothing.

It was obvious that the fat shopkeeper did it himself when the well water dried up. Qin Yi asked him of course he also wanted to test the reason why he did this, but it seemed that he really wanted to lead this matter to Taoism on the mountain.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "If the Taoist priest Qinghe can't solve this matter, I don't know if the Taoist priest Qingxu, who has a lifespan of 250 years, will personally take action, but it's really exciting."

Qin Yi pondered for a moment and asked, "What if Daoist Qingxu really did it himself?"

The shopkeeper squinted into a ball of laughter: "That's great, just to let everyone see if he has reached 250 years of age."

"… "

"It's getting late, thank you for your hospitality." The shopkeeper stood up swayingly: "I'm going to peep at Miss Wang's family, do you want the guests to come with me?"

"You'd better go by yourself."

The shopkeeper didn't say more, and slipped out quietly through the side door.

Qin Yi looked at his back speechlessly. He left himself in his restaurant directly. Did he mean to give away all the money at the counter? This attitude is simply too obvious, he is deliberately letting himself follow him out of curiosity to spy on Miss Wang's family...

"You are in a season like this, with a thin blue shirt. As long as you're not stupid, you can see that you have practiced and you are not an ordinary person." Tassel said: "This fat mouse has something to say, so I asked you to follow it."

Qin Yi nodded and followed directly.

It didn't take long to see the fat shopkeeper leaning on the side door of Wang's house with his butt on his back, looking in through the crack of the door. Qin Yi silently walked to the other side, leaned against the courtyard wall, and hid behind a tree.

This is the backyard of the Wang's family. There are many water tanks in the courtyard. It seems that they have been transported to this place by water from other places recently. At first glance, the densely packed water tanks reflected countless moons under the moonlight. The intense phobia attacked and looked very infiltrating, making an otherwise ordinary scene look like a horror movie.

Before Qin Yi could complain, he saw the Taoist priest Qinghe sneaking into the yard.

Standing in the center of the yard, he looked around the water tank to the left and right, and his immortal face suddenly showed a ferocious look, holding a magic formula in his hand, chanting words.

After a while, countless green lights emerged from his hands and fell into all the water tanks.

Daoist Qinghe sneered, then turned and left.

"Toxin..." Qin Yi is a pharmacist after all, and he recognized it after sniffing the breath carefully: "It's actually corpse poison?"

No matter what the reason is, other poisons don't matter, but the appearance of corpse poison from the hands of a Taoist priest with immortal style, this violent sense of disobedience made Qin Yi a little horrified.

The next moment, the fat shopkeeper saw the electric current released from the crack of the door and bounced accurately in all the water tanks. Qin Yi clearly felt that the toxin was completely dissolved by such an electric shock.

The Taoist is poisoning, and the monster is secretly helping people detoxify

I originally thought that this fat mouse was the villain, so it seems that who is the villain is really not sure.

The water in an ordinary well dried up, and the things involved seem to be more and more unusual...
