After I died, I became a cat

Chapter 193 Richard's Chocolate Factory (8)

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

"Detective Oliver...

"Detective Oliver...

"Detective Oliver?"

Susan Oliver, who felt her brain was on fire and someone had sprinkled chili powder, woke up from a hangover with a headache and opened her eyes to feel someone stabbing her in the eye with a dagger kind of excruciating pain.

But in fact, someone turned on the lights to illuminate the place.

The gray-faced female police detective quickly closed her eyes, and wiped away the tears that flowed out instantly with her stinky hands.She touched a large lump of eye gum, and the right side of her face also felt a large area of ​​cold and sticky.

It was drool, because she slept on her stomach on the counter, drool covering the profile of her face and the wrinkled sleeves of her shirt.

"...why... where is this?"

Susan Oliver, struggling to work on the few cortices of her brain not paralyzed by alcohol, shouted, "Turn off the lights, turn off the lights!"

A blurry figure dangled in front of her blind eyes, and she turned off the light after hearing this.

The room suddenly fell into the darkness where the five fingers could hardly be seen clearly, and only the skylight could be vaguely seen in the distance, illuminating the outline of the stairs.

This familiar picture suddenly caused Susan Oliver to fall into memory, yes, she could immediately remember where this is, here is...

"According to the notes, send it to the 'New Night' bar. Well, Detective Oliver, if there is no problem...can you sign for me."

Oh yes, it's an acquaintance's bar.

With the awakening of memory, the female police detective can gradually see everything around her.

"Xinyiye" bar is a bar opened in the old city of Modisheng City. It was originally called "Another Cup". For example, a bar is more like a tavern.Sell ​​some bad wine for cutting throats to the miners, paired with convenience food with high calorie and high salt and sugar, keep the door open all night, the sweat smell of oily men almost soaked the iron nails on the table.

But that is in the past. There is no miner in Modisheng City now, and naturally there will be no tavern facing miners.Besides, since "Another Cup" once fell together with Modi Shengshi, "New Night" can certainly seize the opportunity to rise again with Modi Shengshi.

It's certainly not one of those tourist-oriented bars where the bartenders use a lot of cocoa or chocolate.People who have settled in Modisheng City for a long time never want to taste the sweetness and bitterness of chocolate on their tongues when they drink alcohol.In contrast, wine brands from other places are more popular.

"New Night" is a bar exclusively for locals.

Detective Susan Oliver isn't a regular here, but it's normal, male or female, to want to get drunk after a setback.

The most important thing is not to drink any wine, but to avoid subordinates.

So... how much did she drink last night?

In the chaos, Susan Oliver only remembered that she had many dreams about dark and furry.

"...Detective? Detective?"

The man called again, and this time Susan Oliver felt a little familiar with the voice.

Her eyes have finally recovered their normal visual function, and she can barely make out the big lump of fat in front of her... Ah no.

It's not fat meat, it's Mr. Li Cha.

"If you wake up..." The man who looked like a fat house stammered, "Detective, can you confirm and confirm the receipt..."

"……What?"

Susan Oliver couldn't understand what he said at all. After asking hoarsely, she saw the otaku showing a lit phone screen in front of her.

Well, a platform that I've heard the name but not familiar with.Specialized in all sorts of regulated and unregulated second-hand transactions, but Susan Oliver never knew it was also a part-time broker.

What is displayed on the screen now is a short-term part-time job—"running errands, picking up packages from No. 175, Jin Street, Mangrove District, and sending them to the "New Night" bar in Miner's Alley. Within 45 minutes, the reward is 55 yuan."

No. 175, Golden Street, Mangrove District, is the home of Susan Oliver.

The ID of the person who posted the part-time job is very familiar. It should be that Susan's husband couldn't get through to her phone, and he knew that her work was not going well through the news. He guessed that she might get drunk at the old place, so he asked someone to help him.

Li Cha handed over a bag, and the female police detective opened it, and it turned out to be a suit of clothes and a sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap.

"Has he finished working overtime?"

Susan Oliver grunted.

At this distance, Li Cha could hear clearly, and replied: "No, your husband is not at home. After I took the order, he private messaged me where I put the spare key, and asked me to pick up a set of ladies' clothes and breakfast by myself... Nothing else was touched, you can check it when you get home."

"Okay, thanks," said Susan Oliver, fully awake, and took out her phone to send her husband a message.

Within a few seconds, Li Cha's mobile phone made a ding dong, reminding him to confirm the completion of the transaction.

The otaku put away his phone, nodded to the policewoman, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Hey, wait, Mr. Richard," Susan Oliver called to stop him, "may I ask... do you usually make a living by taking orders like this... er, do you make a living by this?"

After returning to the office yesterday, she specifically called up Li Cha's information.

A native of Modisheng City, his parents were originally chocolate factory workers, but one of them left Modisheng City after divorce, and the other died of illness five years ago.

Li Cha is 29 years old now, and he filled in the occupation column as unemployed.

Susan Oliver originally guessed that Richard might be a character like a demon hunter that only exists in long-running TV dramas, but when she opened her eyes today, she found that he was running errands.

It's so strange. Could it be that in this age of science, demon hunters can't make much money from hunting demons, so they have to do some part-time jobs to subsidize their families?

Susan Oliver's instinct as a police detective prompted her to delve deeper, and, based on her impressions from yesterday, she judged that even if her inquiry was too far-reaching, Richard's weaker personality might not refuse.

"Hey, this thing..."

Sure enough, the otaku's fat face showed an expression of wanting to refuse, but what he said was:

"What should I say, um, I don't have a job..."

Susan Oliver pretended not to check his information, and smiled as if suddenly realizing it.

"Oh, gnawing old people?"

Richard: "..."

Li Cha: "...No."

The female police detective showed a dazed expression.

Li Cha calmed down and asked, "Why do you have to work?"

Susan Oliver never expected to get such an answer, "Huh?"

The otaku counted for her with his fingers:

"People only need food, drink and housing to survive. I live in the old apartment left by my mother. I have a bed to sleep in and old clothes from the past. Food can rely on free chocolate, cheap vitamin tablets, and drinking can rely on picking up tourists. I haven’t finished drinking the mineral water I don’t need. This way I don’t need to pay the water bill for the apartment, and it’s enough to pay the electricity bill. As for the electricity bill, I can run errands for two or three days, just like today.”

The policewoman's eyes widened.

"How can a person survive only by eating chocolate?!"

So Li Cha also looked at her blankly.

"Chocolate is full of sugar and fat, and it's free, so why not?"

The policewoman opened her mouth wide.

This is really an incomprehensible way of life. Even if he can survive, doesn't he have no ideals, no goals, no need for entertainment, and no need for social interaction?But in a sense, it also explains why Li Cha has the current body shape.It was Susan Oliver who felt that she might not be sober, otherwise why would she imagine such a conversation that could not be connected online.

"If this is the case... if this is the case..." Her honest nature urged her to lecture the young man in front of her, "This is not acceptable... You are still gnawing at the old man because your mother left you an apartment. You like this If there are too many people, society cannot sustain itself. People rely on society to survive, just like the free chocolate you eat is also something made by craftsmen. If you are like this..."

"Whether society can be maintained, will it be decided by a small person like me?" Li Cha raised his eyes and asked.

He continued weakly but indifferently: "Would the society promise me a lifetime of peace as a reward for working to earn money all my life?"

The policewoman froze.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Cha turned and left without avoiding it.

A thin laugh followed him away, and Susan Oliver, who couldn't hear him, sat there for a while, and suddenly slapped his forehead.

"What do I worry about for him, the United Chamber of Commerce will give him a million bonus..."

After thinking about it, she stood up staggeringly, carried the package of clothes, and went to the toilet.

The alcohol she drank last night had already accumulated in her bladder. Sitting on the toilet, the female detective yawned and swiped her phone to watch the news. The next second, the phone smashed on the dirty tiles in the toilet.

On the local column, there are two eye-catching titles.

"The Leticia Building in the central area was completely burned down due to the fire, and the cause of the accident is under investigation"

Subtitle - Most likely arson?

"Joyful Chocolate will be prosecuted by the court for mixing prohibited drugs in the formula. The formula owner, Mr. Warren, and the vice chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Cook, are currently unavailable."

The subtitle——Chocolate Joy has ceased production since yesterday, and the date of resumption of work is nowhere in sight.

Susan Oliver didn't pick up the phone.

She thought that the bankrupt United Chamber of Commerce might not have the money to give a million bonus, wondered whether there would be no free chocolate in Modisheng City in the future, and wondered whether the city hall would be able to pay the police salaries after losing the major tax revenue pillar of the happy chocolate industry...

The city has lost its mineral veins, has inconvenient transportation, and has no specialties.

The cat's paw pushes down the rolling ball, and death is the eternal future.
