Chapter 9 Orange Blossom Town 9

Others were visibly frightened.

"Sir, what kind of treasure is this...?" the mayor's assistant secretary said with a pale face.

"Yes. Even if you want us to help dig up the body, you should tell the truth and we won't be scared." An official couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"No. You are wrong. It is precisely because of the exhumation of this cat's body that we can understand the vicious events that happened in the small town. Only by understanding it layer by layer can we find opportunities to solve the problem. Only then can all the residents of the town have peace."

"This corpse is very likely to help us open the door in the fog and let the truth surface. No matter how much wealth there is, it is in vain to enjoy it without dying. So this corpse is even more valuable than the real treasure."

The town officials twitched their lips when they heard this.

The little blind girl is quite capable of talking nonsense, and her brain seems not to be normal.

Who in the right mind would treat a corpse as a treasure?

When Jiang Lai spoke, he turned around and faced the mayor and other officials, as if "looking" at them with his unfocused eyes.

"Of course, if you can cooperate and tell everything you know, the safety hazards will be eliminated more easily and faster."

The mayor and other officials were all silent after hearing Jiang Lai's words.

Finally, the mayor said, "We will repair the roads as soon as possible to allow everyone to leave the manor."

Jiang Lai was thinking that the heavy rain had not stopped for fifteen hours, which showed that it was not easy for them to leave here...

The cat's body was handled in such a weird way that it was impossible to tell the time of its death.

However, Jiang Lai deduced that the murderer's special way of treating the poor cat was probably related to the perfume...

Then, what she needs to focus on next is the history of the development of perfume in Orange Blossom Town, and the top perfumers...

She decided to start her investigation with the history of the town.

"Mr. Mayor, when did Orange Blossom Town start planting bitter orange trees and use the leaves of orange blossoms and bitter orange trees for perfume and essential oil processing?"

"Two hundred years ago, Orange Blossom Town was a fiefdom assigned to Princess Mary by His Majesty the King at the time. After Princess Mary came here, she discovered the bitter orange trees growing here and had a special liking for the scent of orange blossoms. There are With the support of the princess and the royal family, the perfume industry in the town developed." said the mayor.

"Is that Princess Mary also proficient in perfume making?" Jiang Lai asked.

After hearing this, the mayor couldn't help but tremble, his face turned pale, and he shook his head for a moment before saying in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know..."

He carefully glanced at Jiang Lai, touched his nose and explained: "After all, he was from more than two hundred years ago, and he was still a member of the royal family. I am just a small town mayor. How could I know about the princess of the royal family? What's going on..."

Jiang Lai's smile didn't reach his eyes, "Really?"

While he was talking, the servants had already reburied the body of the strange cat with fear on their faces, and everyone returned to the villa.

Other players who chose another path have returned to the villa.

"Come on, Miss...why is she missing? Her eyesight is not good, can something happen?" Yuanyuan said with concern.

"Huh, she, maybe she was kidnapped by the guy who took Li Li away!" Bai Jing said.

She looked at Yuanyuan with a proud look on her face and said to her: "Look, I'm right in not letting you be with her, right? She's just a cannon fodder. Whoever is with her will definitely get involved. Unlucky!"

Bai Jing chattered endlessly, with a very happy expression, as if she wished others were unlucky more than she wished she could get rich.

At this time, Yuanyuan, who was standing opposite her, suddenly winked at her and pulled her arm.

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Don't you think I'm right? If that blind man wasn't born with bad luck, how could he be blind..."

Before Bai Jing could finish her words, she let out an ouch and fell to her knees on the ground.

It turned out that Jiang Lai came over and kicked her in the knee. She couldn't bear the sudden force and knelt heavily on the ground.

Jiang Lai slowly walked up to Bai Jing and accepted her kneeling ceremony.

"You... you're not dead yet..." Bai Jing said with a livid face: "You kicked me just now, right? What did you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to tell you that you violated the Disability Protection Law." Jiang Lai said:

"But since you knelt down and confessed to me, I won't argue with you. Mr. Lu Xun once said that dogs can bite people, but people can't bite them back."

"Who are you calling a dog!" Bai Jing was furious.

Jiang Lai shrugged and avoided the direction where Bai Jing was kneeling. "I said, I am not as knowledgeable as you. Why are you still kneeling? Do you feel that you are guilty?"

"You!" Bai Jing gritted her teeth.

She was about to fight back, but was stopped by the man in the suit.

"Stop arguing! The top priority now is to find Li Li and find out the identity of the guy who left strange mud marks in the villa and took Li Li away!"

"Did you find any clues?" Jiang Lai asked.

"Why should we tell you?" Bai Jing said as she stood up.

The man in the suit glared at Bai Jing and said to Jiang Lai: "We just followed the trace to the depths of the bitter orange tree plantation in the southwest. Outside the plantation, there is a lush virgin forest... "

Taking advantage of the large number of people, they followed the trace into the primeval forest. Unexpectedly...

The traces have disappeared!

"It was raining so heavily and the forest was very muddy. If that thing dragged Li Li into the forest, how could it not leave any traces? But the traces were interrupted right there. It was like... the thing suddenly hugged Li Li flew into the sky!"

"If that thing didn't have wings, it probably wouldn't have disappeared out of thin air. Have you looked around? Are there any potholes or traps there?"

The man in the suit shook his head regretfully and took a deep look at Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai interrupted the man in suit's probing gaze.

The moment she spoke, the man in the suit had the strange illusion that there was nothing wrong with her eyes and that her vision was completely normal.

However, that feeling only lasted a short moment.

"Can you tell me about Li Li's disappearance?" Jiang Lai looked at the man in the suit and asked.

The man in the suit nodded unconsciously, suddenly remembering that Jiang Lai couldn't see anything, and touched his nose awkwardly.
