After the immortal disappeared

At this moment, the wooden door of the study room opened with a creak, and Dong Rui walked in: "Be the first to come in and take credit in exchange for candy, right?"

He glared at the ghost monkey, who quickly stuffed the last jelly bean into his mouth, innocence written on the monkey's face.

Dong Rui pointed to the net bag in He Lingchuan's hand: "I searched the villa for several days, and finally caught these two. Let me tell you, there are a lot of bugs in the bugs, and the one named Tian must have left some bugs that slipped through the net!"

The last time Tian Yun came to Yongquan Villa, he released many insect puppets to collect intelligence. Although he later escaped Wan Qiliang's pursuit and successfully escaped, Dong Rui was certain that it was impossible to recover 100% of the insect puppets he released without missing a single one.

Yongquan Villa is too big, the terrain is complex and there are many trees, so there will definitely be some stragglers among the insects.

Yang Shan and his two demon puppets searched the villa for several days, and finally found these two insect puppets who had let themselves go.

"What to do next?" He Lingchuan asked experts for help.

"I have already fed them, and I also gave them some medicine. They will be more honest." Dong Rui took out a cricket cage from somewhere, but it was not made of straw. "This is a cage made of thin strips of the Demon-Eating Vine." , tie them up and put them in. Don’t let them out when I’m not around, so they don’t hurt anyone at will.”

"Bringing a string?"

"You never played with beetles when you were a kid?"

He Lingchuan shook his head.

"You rich boys have really never played with anything good." Dong Rui sneered, took out the spider silk and tied it to the gap at the back of the beetle's neck, and tied a small knot.

During this process, the carnivorous beetle that could kill Situ Yu just lay on his finger, motionless.

Dong Rui tied the spider silk and threw it into the air, and the beetle took off.

It instinctively flew towards the window, but Dong Rui pulled it gently, and the beetle was pulled back by the spider silk and landed on the table.

"The demon puppet master who controlled it is not here, so now it is acting entirely on instinct." Dong Rui stroked the beetle's back to comfort it a few times, then picked it up and threw it into the cricket cage, very casually, "The insect puppet has no intelligence. In other words, their puppet masters must undergo a lot of instinct strengthening training."

He Lingchuan pressed his neck, feeling a little tired: "Say something I can understand?"

Explaining to Xiaobai is more laborious than doing experiments: "You won't understand if there are too many explanations. Let me just say it simply. The person named Tian must have an ancestor insect in his hand, also called a king insect, just like a queen bee and a queen ant. Ancestor insect As long as you listen to him, other insect puppets will also listen to him."

For the sake of rigor, he added: "Beetles originally did not have this kind of nature, but Tian modified them."

"Oh, I see, it's very simple."

"The two guys in the cricket cage have been away from the ancestor worm for a long time, and they have undergone instinct strengthening training. Once they feel the breath of the ancestor worm-"

He Lingchuan followed his words and said, "Will you instinctively look for the ancestor insects?"

"Yes, there are too many gregarious insect puppets, and it is impossible for the demon puppet master to control and recover them one by one, so their nature is designed like this."

"If we take these two insect puppets and walk around Tianshui City, can we find their owners?"

"That's the theory." Dong Rui also had to face the reality, "But there are two problems. First, Tianshui City is very big, and we don't know which corner the Tian is hiding in; secondly, I don't know what these two insect puppets sense. How big is the range of the ancestral insect? It may be several hundred feet, or it may be only a few dozen feet. If the range is too small, it may be missed.”

"It can't be too small." He Lingchuan asserted, "Tian Yun put them into Yongquan Villa, which shows that he can control the insect puppets in a large area."

Yongquan Villa covers a large area, covering more than a few hundred feet in the southeast, northwest and northwest.

"The place where we ate that day was more than three miles away from your mountain cellar." He Lingchuan pointed at the insect puppets and asked, "Where were these two caught?"

"In the dense forest behind the northwest warehouse."

"That's even further, ten miles away."

This time it was Dong Rui's turn to shake his head: "This is impossible! It's not as far away as the demon puppet master can control the insect puppets! Unless they fly around on their own. But this kind of beetle, before it was modified, did not like to migrate. Although it has wings, it only likes to lie on a tree.”

"Perhaps they have become more diligent after being modified?" He Lingchuan tugged at the spider silk tied to the beetle. "Their sensing range is easy to handle. The next step is to determine the search area."

Tianshui City is huge, how can we narrow down the search scope?

"Tian Yun said he was from the Zhengxin Chamber of Commerce. I sent someone to check and found that there really is such a chamber of commerce. Moreover, the chamber of commerce has two stores in Tianshui City. It is indeed a pet business. The leader of the chamber of commerce is really called Tian Yun. But the main store is not in Tianshui City. I don’t know if this Tian Yun is that Tian Yun?” He Lingchuan analyzed, “When he mentioned the Zhengxin Chamber of Commerce, he probably wanted to gain my trust, and this is easy to verify. There is no need for him to be there. This guy is lying.”

"Then let's go to Zhengxin Chamber of Commerce?"

"I sent someone to follow him, and he knew that he would not show up there if his whereabouts were revealed. When he mentioned the Zhengxin Chamber of Commerce, he was also sure that I could not find him from the Chamber of Commerce. In other words, the warehouse, He won't get close to the facade or real estate, so he can only find another place to live in Tianshui City. "

Dong Rui added: "Xiao An said that 'father's' residence is large and spacious, and there are many people who listen to him. She went out with her father twice, and there was no shortage of people around her at all times."

"You are also a puppet master. You have a lot of servants and a lot of money. Why are you alone?" He Lingchuan launched a personal attack.

Dong Rui sighed: "He has a lot of money! If I had that much money, a bunch of people would kneel down and call me daddy!"

Who doesn’t want food to open his mouth and clothes to stretch out his hands? "Isn't my backer not strong enough?"

"Am I not enough?" He Lingchuan pointed at his nose, "All my 1,764,238 taels of silver have been wasted?"

"Uh..." Dong Rui was speechless.

Why does this guy keep accounts so clearly? It seems that he took away so much research funds from He Lingchuan, all the time.

Dong Rui coughed: "In short, there are many people around Tian Yun, so he should be greeted in front of and behind him when entering and exiting; he is rich and will not stay in a low-end inn, so he either stays in a luxury inn or buys one by himself. Live in a big house.”

He Lingchuan pondered: "When I talked with him that day, he didn't know much about the current situation of Tianshui City. He didn't grab one or two properties in the new city. He even only heard the name of Youhu Villa, which I managed, but didn't know what it was called."

"In other words, he is probably not in Tianshui City in the past two months. Assuming that he originally owned a property in Tianshui City, if he purchased it in the name of Tian Yun or Zhengxin Chamber of Commerce, he would no longer be able to live in it."
