Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

After dinner, Lu Yi and Lina walked on the dirt road in the village with clear goals. Almost no shops on both sides of the street were still open.

It's not yet ten o'clock in the evening, but areas with backward economic development have one thing in common, that is, people's nightlife is relatively boring, and most businesses have closed early.

However, the opening hours of businesses are often related to the type of industry. For example, Brother Higashino's favorite physical therapy center has lights on at the moment, and through the glass window, you can see a lady busy holding a rag.

Lu Yi took a general look at the exterior decoration of this physical therapy center. The paint on the door was not peeling off, and the glass windows had no mud stains or scratches from long-term use. Overall, this physical therapy center has not been in business for a long time.

"Dingling bell~~"

Lu Yi pushed open the door of the store, and there were several strings of wind chimes hanging on it, which immediately made a crisp sound.

The woman turned around in surprise, obviously not expecting a visitor to come at this time.

"Hello, handsome guys and girls, do you want to have physical therapy?"

Seeing the woman approaching them quickly, Lu Yi and Linai seemed a little embarrassed. Neither of them had ever entered such a place.

"Uh... we traveled here by chance. Seeing that your store is still open, we wanted to ask what projects you have. We happen to be very tired from traveling these days."

Lu Yi casually found an excuse and was not in a hurry to explain his purpose to the other party.

"I see, I'm really sorry. I'm already ready to close up. If I want to do physical therapy now, I'll have to wait for at least half an hour. I have to warm up the equipment first." The woman apologized and asked Tian Lengmei to finish. Hand over the desk sign on the table.

"All our projects are on it, with prices ranging from 99 to 399. You can see which one you want to do."

Hearing this, Lu Yi and Lina looked at each other. Neither of them really meant to undergo physical therapy, not to mention that they were already ready to call it a day.

So Lu Yi took the ticket, glanced at the price list, and focused on the business hours.

"From 9 am to 10 pm, it really closes at that time." He pretended to be annoyed and found a step for himself. "In that case, I won't delay your rest tonight. Let's come back tomorrow morning!"

"That's fine, you can arrange it according to your own schedule." The woman's tone was easy-going and she didn't use sweet words to do more business.

Then Lu Yi turned around and left with Linai, who was very confused about this trip.

"Brother Lu Yi, why didn't you just explain your purpose of coming? That sister should be the target of our trip, right?"

Hearing Linai's question, Lu Yi seemed to have expected it and had already guessed that she would be confused.

"Because this visit was an impromptu decision, many details were not considered in advance and we should not be too reckless. A good brother once told me about his entrepreneurial experience. The more eager you are to get something from a person, the less likely you are to get something from him. Be very anxious in front of you, otherwise you will only become passive or even fall short of the success!"

Lu Yi recalled the truth that Brother Badi had vomited after drinking, and then turned to look at the physiotherapy center again.

"In fact, although we didn't stay long just now, I got answers to many questions."

"Eh? Really??" Rina's eyes lit up.

"Yeah." Lu nodded and witnessed with his own eyes that the lights in the physical therapy center were turned off shortly after the two left.

"First of all, everything seems to be normal in this store, and there is no problem of relocation or suspension of operations. The character of the proprietress and the sweet and cold beauty next to her are also consistent with what Brother Higashino described.

This further confirmed the strangeness of the matter. There must be some reason why the woman suddenly lost contact with Brother Higashino. "

Lu Yi said, his eyes gradually becoming serious.

"Secondly, the business hours of this store are very regular. The price list we just saw also includes affordable physical therapy projects. To be honest, when I first heard about 'physiotherapy center', I suspected that the proprietress might She is a prostitute, and now she has completely dispelled her worries in this regard.

The interior decoration of the store is very neat and gives people a refreshing feeling. I took a quick look at the equipment, and they were all very professional. They should be used to help guests relax.

The most important thing is the business hours, which improves the overall formality of the store. When we entered, the proprietress was already cleaning up, and all the equipment had been shut down long ago, which proved that she had no intention of continuing the business.

Therefore, if we observe more in the past few days, if the proprietress closes the shop on time every day and does not interact with the men in the village, we can basically rule out the problem of 'new love and old love'. "

Rina blinked her eyes in confusion. She didn't expect Lu Yi to observe so many things in a short period of time. She only focused on looking at the flower decoration on the head of the sweet and cold beautiful hind. She also wanted to ask the eldest sister where she bought it. of……

Sure enough, a professional is a professional.

"Then we don't really have to go to physical therapy tomorrow morning, right? You just made a random excuse, right?" Lina felt that Lu Yi had already grasped a lot of clues, so she expressed her guess.

However, she still couldn't accurately guess Lu Yi's thinking.

"No, physiotherapy must be done. And not just physiotherapy, we have to secretly visit the nearby shops."

"Eh??" Rina's eyes widened in surprise, and then showed a hint of expectation. "Okay! To be honest, I'm quite curious about aromatherapy. I've never tried such a program in my entire life!"

"Me too." Lu Yi smiled.

"Will these be counted as necessary expenses? Public expenses?"

Lu nodded.

"Yes, these are all part of the entrustment and are included in the travel expenses. In fact, there is nothing we can do. After all, we do not have police uniforms and cannot ask the public to cooperate with the investigation in our official capacity.

As a little-known private detective, it is easy to be resented by various businesses, because some young detectives will take on some "dirty work" in order to make a living. For example, secretly photographing the hygienic environment of restaurants, following ordinary people to investigate their private lives, or pretending to be customers to go to shampoo rooms and foot massage shops to test hidden items, etc.

It is precisely because of their misbehavior that they have gradually tarnished the reputation of the detective profession, and we are now easily ostracized by others. Therefore, if we want to get clues from the people, we must first find ways to get closer to them.

Order some noodle soup at a restaurant, buy some snacks at a small supermarket, and chat with the bosses intentionally or unintentionally. This makes it easier to get clues. "

Hearing this, Rina blinked her big watery eyes and nodded seriously.

"It makes sense, I have gained knowledge."

Lu Yi smiled and did not continue the topic, but walked straight towards a barbecue stall on the roadside.

The barbecue in small villages is quite unique. The raw materials are all locally sourced, and the cooking method of roadside charcoal fire is more delicious and juicy than the meat skewers grilled with electromagnetic equipment in restaurants. This kind of stall is not big and the facilities are very simple, but the strong fragrance can be smelled from a hundred meters away!

Rina's eyes suddenly lit up.

(〃'▽'〃)

"Are we going to eat this?"

"Yes, let's chat with the stall owner for a while."

"Great!!"
