After I died, I became a cat

Chapter 177 Richard's Chocolate Factory (2)

================================

cocoa.

This sycamore tree, which grows in the tropical rainforest, bears orange-yellow fusiform fruits.

The fruit is the size of two or three adult male heads. When it is ripe, it is picked and crushed, and milky white soft eggs can be dug out from the pod.When these soft beans are piled together to ferment, they can be seen to be dark yellow in color and become like mud after a few days.

This is to remove the white gelatinous layer on the outside of the cocoa beans. After removing the white gelatin, these beans that are the same color as yellow mud will be spread on the ground and dried in the strong and bright tropical sun.

In the sun, their shells will gradually turn a perfect dark brown.The cocoa farmers have worked hard for this for a long time, filling one woven bag after another with them, but the money sold is not enough to feed their family, and it is not even enough to buy a piece of chocolate for them to taste the fruits of their labor.

Because the cocoa tree belongs to the farmers in the tropics, but the chocolate does not.

Woven sack after sack of cocoa beans travels across oceans to several major chocolate producing regions, most of which are prestigious.But occasionally there are exceptions, that is——

"This is Modisheng City." The female driver said.

The worn-out taxi swiped its card and drove past the entrance and exit of the high-speed station. Ye Weidan rolled down the window, and a rich and mellow natural fragrance was blown into the stuffy compartment with the wind.

On the car seat, the cat, the boy, and the bald man all cheered up.It's just that Ye Weidan and Qi Wang, who operate the projector, can't smell the fragrance, but they can see the buff hanging under their names only by opening the teammate entry.

[Status: Excited (slight)]

[In this state, when you conduct certain skill checks, you will be rewarded with +1 skill points.At the same time, when you make a will check or sanity check, a bonus die will be added]

At the same time, a prompt pops up.

[Detection check, 1D100=56, normal success]

[Cocoa's unique flavor lingers on your nose]

"The aroma of cocoa, buffs are added at the beginning, why do I think this investigation will be difficult..." Ye Weidan said to himself.

Then he remembered something, suddenly grabbed Chen Erhuang's ribs, and picked up the cat in a panic.

"Animals can't eat theobromine! Brother, are you okay?"

The 17-year-old boy made such a move, and the camera projected back to the phone was pulled in.Many viewers who just entered the live broadcast room opened their eyes and saw the face of the kitten rushing in front of them.

I saw that the fine black short hair exudes a strange and beautiful luster under the sunlight, and the irises of the light yellow pupils are like silk woven with gold threads. color.

Beauty alone cannot be described, nothing but beauty cannot be described.

In the next second, a large barrage about how Ah Wei died appeared in the live broadcast room.

Then the audience saw their host being slapped away by the little black cat.

"When did I become an ordinary animal?" Chen Erhuang said speechlessly.

"There's no evidence that you won't be harmed by theobromine..."

Ye Weidan, who moved his face away, could hear his brother and the audience in a low voice.

"I said I can eat anything that people can eat!" Chen Erhuang slapped him softly again, "Put me down."

Yes, although his face was slapped away, Ye Weidan still grabbed the little black cat by its ribs, and pulled the little black cat from a ball into a strip.

Hearing the scolding, Ye Weidan pouted, and was about to put the cat back on the seat.

But at the moment when he could put the cat down immediately, he stopped suddenly.

Being grabbed by the ribs, Chen Erhuang felt uncomfortable: "?"

He felt Ye Weidan raise his hands again, and in the next second, put the cat, Chen Erhuang, on his lap.

Chen Erhuang with a cat face: "???"

Ye Weidan blushed, and the barrage in the live broadcast room was full of joy and encouragement.

"Ness!"

"here you go!"

"The host's operation is really coquettish!"

"Dan God, you are finally bold. I don't know why you were always cautious before."

Several shallow-water fish and thunder smashed into the live broadcast room with special effects, while Ye Weidan quietly and quickly put his hand under the little black cat's chin.

He scratched.

Chen Erhuang's pointed ears twitched, resisting the desire to lie down, he got out of his little brother's hand in an instant, and kicked Ye Weidan in the stomach before leaving.

This time he worked harder.

In reality, Ye Weidan hesitated for a moment when he saw the [Health -1] pop-up prompt, gave up and continued.

Teacher Qi Wang, who witnessed the interaction between the two teammates, did not notice any problems, and laughed and communicated with the female driver of the responder.

"The name Modisheng City is really strange."

"Is it strange?" The female driver turned on the car radio while driving, and changed the channel amidst the noise of the electric current, "I don't know what translation the translation system chooses for you, but the names of immigrant cities are usually very strange. "

Is it an immigrant city...

Both Chen Erhuang and Ye Weidan were distracted by this sentence and began to think about clues.

Immigrant cities represent chaos, and the constant influx of people will bring vitality to the city, as well as conflict.In this kind of city, the appearance of corpses with unknown causes of death is actually nothing surprising.

No, Chen Erhuang frowned and changed his words.

In this kind of chaotic city, it is not surprising that there are nameless corpses where the murderer cannot be found.

But the fact that the cause of death cannot be found in the corpse is really a bit strange in terms of the accumulation of modern medical technology.

Ye Weidan and Teacher Qi Wang were also aware of this doubt and fell silent.

In the stagnant atmosphere, the female driver glanced at the cat and the two who were lost in thought from the rearview mirror.

"Although it is said to be an immigrant city," she said suddenly, "but that can only be said to have been in the past, and it is no longer counted as such."

"..."

Hey?

One cat and two people looked up at the same time, Ye Weidan opened his mouth to ask something.

"In the past, immigrants came here for valuable minerals, but after the mines were exhausted, it quickly became like a ghost town. Even if the miners settled here, their children and young people who grew up would not be able to live here. I don’t want to stay here.” The female driver took out a cigarette, put it in her mouth, and didn’t light it, “Until someone came here to set up a factory decades ago…”

"Chocolate factory?" Chen Erhuang said, "Selling chocolate doesn't mean you don't make money, but—"

The taxi has already driven into the urban area. In this city that smells of chocolate, the storefronts on the streets are more beautiful and more exquisite than the last one. Most of the passers-by who come in and out of the store are also very brightly dressed.

There are many bright pedestrians on the road, both men, women and children, and many young people.

All in all, nothing like a deserted ghost town.

"—However, this industry is very competitive. Generally speaking, it cannot become a pillar industry that can bring an old city back to life, right?"

Chen Erhuang asked.

"That's because Modisheng chocolate has a unique flavor." The female driver replied.

"Unique flavor?" Ye Weidan and Mr. Qi Wang asked in unison.

"That's right." The female driver replied.

Having been struggling with the car radio, she finally switched the station to the desired channel.

The three passengers heard singing over the car radio.

"Chocolate.

"chocolate.

"Theobromine unique to cocoa, a stimulant unique to humans.

"It brings joy.

"It brings joy,

"It brings joy.

"Chocolate Delight.

"When it comes to chocolate delights, it's—

"That is, Modisheng."

In the melodious music, the woman with a sweet voice stopped singing, followed by a male voice with a thick and deep voice, saying:

"Modisheng happy chocolate, spend happy time together."

Ad ended.

The female driver turned off the car radio before the new ad blared.

"Haha," Teacher Qi Wang laughed, "He saved a city with a unique flavor of chocolate, what a hero!"

"The person who opened the chocolate factory is Stephens Warren," the female driver said, "a famous local celebrity. There is no doubt that his factory has saved the employment rate of the strange city, but then it may be because of the leak of the formula, the strange More chocolate factories have been opened in Disheng City, which also produce this unique flavor of chocolate. Fortunately, Modisheng chocolate is extremely popular in the market. Even with the addition of so many competitors, Stephens Warren's factory will not No closures...but that's not the point."

What's the point?

In my heart, I complained about why the reception staff talked so much nonsense this time, and both of them looked at the female driver with condemning eyes.

The female driver didn't care at all, she drove her dilapidated taxi with ease, like a fish in a school of fish, driving on the road.

She said casually: "The key point is this incident. Although the cause of death of all the deceased cannot be ascertained so far, there is nothing that cannot be found out. They are all employees of chocolate factories large and small in Modisheng City."

"Emmm," Chen Erhuang asked, "work-related injury?"

"No," the female driver said, "Because the chocolate employees who died are not only the front-line workers, the technicians in the rear, and even the managers who hardly participate in the production are also on the list of the dead."

If front-line workers die from occupational diseases due to exposure to inappropriate production materials and production methods, then senior managers who do not touch the production line should not die from the same reason.

"So far, no evidence of mysterious elements participating in this incident has been found, but the prediction of the future of this universe by the Zenith Observatory of the Ministry of Intelligence is vague." The female driver stepped on the brakes, and the old taxi stopped by the side of the road. "Because of the blow to production activities, all the chocolate factory owners in Modisheng City jointly issued a high price reward. Your identities are the detectives who came here for the reward."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and threw the document bag containing the incident materials into the back seat.

Ye Weidan caught it casually with one hand, and pushed the door open with the other.He turned to look at Chen Erhuang, but Chen Erhuang had already slipped past him and jumped out of the car.

The shape-changing white light flickered, and the cat and two heard her say:

"Then, I'll leave it to you, investigators."

The dungeon import was officially over, and the dilapidated taxi left with exhaust fumes.

On the bustling street, only the famous detective Cao Junya, who was taller than a man, and her assistant were left.

And a cat.

Not knowing where to start the investigation, the two of them looked at each other in blank dismay.

moment.

"Hahahaha, all in all," Teacher Qi Wang, who has become a small bald man, but still passionate, pushed his glasses, "There is a famous line I wanted to say a long time ago, the truth is only..."

click.

The sound of dice rolling again interrupted Teacher Qi Wang.
