Chapter 26 [26] Caught the handle of the mastermind behind the scenes

The remnant seal of controlling the spirit is an extremely magical existence. Any creature affected by the power of the remnant seal will establish an invisible connection with the soul.

From then on, no matter how far away, as long as the creature does not die, the connection will not disappear.

Cheng Han sensed for a moment, and recognized the "lost contact" bird—the blue pipiet.

He immediately thought of a key question - was this a pure accident, or did Tan Zicheng find out that the bird was peeping?

If it's the former, it can only be said that the Blue Pipit is too unlucky.

If it's the latter, uh...it doesn't seem to be harmful.

Because Cheng Han specially prepared a set of preventive measures against divination, he didn't think that Tan Zicheng had the ability to trace it back to himself.

The only trouble is that this guy will definitely be more vigilant, which will greatly increase the difficulty of monitoring, and he must find ways to find other means in the future.

While thinking about it, Cheng Han pushed his bicycle towards the entrance of the vegetable market.

After walking a few steps, a shout suddenly came from behind.

"Boy, wait a minute."

Cheng Han turned his head and looked over, only to see an old man with gray hair chasing after him panting.

He stopped and asked politely, "Old man, what do you want?"

The old man asked directly: "Do you still have rabbits?"

Cheng Han shook his head: "Sorry, it's sold out."

The old man was old and smart, and asked tentatively: "Young man, you have caught so many rabbits, you probably still have one on hand, right?"

Cheng Han didn't answer.

The other party's guess was right, he did still have a rabbit, and not one, but a full six, and he planned to pickle it as a reserve food for the winter.

The old man tried to be emotional: "The third daughter-in-law of my family gave birth to a boy half a month ago. These days, her milk is not enough, and the little girl often cries loudly because of hunger.

"House rabbit meat can promote lactation. I just wanted to buy one for my daughter-in-law to nourish her body, but I walked around the vegetable market for a long time, but I didn't see a single cave rabbit."

Cave rabbits have special habits. In captivity, they will become extremely irritable, and then attack each other, resulting in the death of a large number of young rabbits.

The wild rabbits are extremely cautious, traps and other methods are difficult to work on them, so it is common for there to be no rabbits in the vegetable market for a whole day.

That is to say, Cheng Han has extraordinary power and an extremely capable black cat, so he can catch so many rabbits in one go.

The old man gritted his teeth, and began to seduce Yili: "I am willing to pay two silver coins for one!"

For ordinary people, this is a very attractive price.

But with the help of his omniscient eyes, Cheng Han picked up more than [-] silver coins in the past year, and the other party's offer was not enough to tempt him.

The old man begged eagerly: "Young man, my boy's physique is not good. If he continues to starve, he may not be able to survive the winter."

Cheng Han sighed secretly, and said silently: "Deduction!"

He didn't fully believe the other side's statement, and decided to verify it with his skills.

Spirit value decreased by 1.2 points.

A series of visions appeared.

After a while, the picture disappeared.

Cheng Han raised his eyebrows lightly, and said decisively: "Mr., I'll go back first, and you can wait for me at the vegetable market."

The old man hesitated a little: "Aren't you looking for an excuse to leave?"

This person immediately realized that this remark would easily offend others, and quickly apologized: "Young man, please don't take offense, I am old and my mind is a bit confused."

Cheng Han replied "It's okay", then turned and left.

A quarter of an hour later.

Cheng Han returned to the market on time.

When the old man saw a rabbit hanging on the faucet of the car, he immediately smiled: "The young man really keeps his word!"

He complimented again: "When I was young, I also wanted to catch rabbits to make some money, but this thing is so clever. I worked in the wild for three days but got nothing. The young man is amazing!"

Cheng Han smiled slightly, and made an excuse: "I was lucky, and I took away a rabbit's nest with a few companions."

The old man looked at the rabbit a few times, and raised the price: "This rabbit must weigh six catties, right? I'll offer 220 copper coins, how about it?"

Cheng Han nodded and said, "Okay!"

The hole rabbits left at home are the larger batch, so it is only natural that the price should be higher.

Both parties pay in one hand and deliver in the other.

The old man went home happily with the rabbit in his arms.

Cheng Han looked at the back of the other party and said softly, "It's really unexpected that Tan Zicheng is involved in this old man's family affairs."

The results of the deduction show that this person's daughter-in-law has been plagued by nightmares recently, and her mental state affects her body, which leads to insufficient milk.

More importantly, the straight-line distance between the house where he lived and Qin Zicheng's home was no more than 50 meters.

Is this a coincidence?
He thinks, no!

Cheng Han rode on his bicycle and thought, "I actually overlooked this point, the neighbors are close at hand, and Tan Zicheng has the highest probability of attacking them.

"This guy was sneaky in the school's botanical garden before. It should have been just a whim, as if a teenager likes to show off in front of his classmates."

He thought of the old man's daughter-in-law's nightmare, and his expression was cloudy and uncertain: "The first time I deduced the black cat, the shadow turned into a ghost hand, sucking the black cat into a cat's skin.

"And in that woman's dream, grotesque and terrifying black shadows appeared frequently, which sounded a bit like ghost hands. Could this be the power of Ability God again?
"The death of the Blue Pipit should not have been accidental. Its feathers are bright. Most likely, Tan Zicheng found that it had been staying nearby for a long time and felt that something was wrong, so he killed this unlucky bird."

Cheng Han was a little fortunate: "Fortunately, I was very cautious and didn't rush to the vicinity of Tan Zicheng's house for field investigation, otherwise I might encounter accidents like the blue pipiet."

He pedaled his bicycle hard, thinking: "After a while, I can test my idea."

*
Night falls.

Cheng Han arrived at the door of the house.

He pushed open the door, and immediately saw the black cat lying beside the wooden bucket containing the rabbit, as if guarding the spoils.

As for the two "sentinels", they stood on the top of the cabinet together, and obviously had a serious psychological shadow on the black cat, so they dared not approach it.

"Meow~"

The black cat immediately stood up and greeted its owner.

Two birds fluttered down and landed on his left and right shoulders.

Cheng Han stroked the cat's head a few times, and the bird's head again, then opened a drawer of the cabinet and took out a feather.

It's the feathers of the blue pipper.

In order to prevent accidents, before releasing the three birds, he deliberately plucked a feather from each of them as a retrospective "associated object".

Cheng Han caressed the feathers, and smiled: "If you don't touch my bird, I can't do anything about you, but you just touched the bird and have a direct relationship with it. Isn't this coming to your door?"

He concentrated and said silently: "Use the feathers as clues to deduce the cause of the blue pipiet's death!"
