No taboos

Chapter 127 Rat Strangeness
Xu Yuan, Fu Jingyu, Song Lu and Yu Yunhang's rooms are connected, so naturally they came back together.

On the way, Song Lu complained quietly: "The people in the Champa Office are so useless. They have been investigating for several months and still have no clues."

Xu Yuan's mind moved: Yes, it has been three and a half months, is it true that the Champa Office has no clues at all?
After returning to his residence, Xu Yuan took a quick look around: this was an independent courtyard, and there were only four of them living there.

If something unexpected happens...

Everyone opened the door and prepared to go in. Song Lu said crisply, "See you tomorrow, Senior Brother."

As for Xu Yuan and Yu Yunhang, it doesn't matter whether they meet or not.

The two of them looked at Fu Jingyu while trying to hold back their laughter. Young Master Fu couldn't stand it anymore and hurried into the house.

Xu Yuan waved to Yun Hang, and just as he stepped over the threshold, he heard a scream of "Ah" coming from Song Lu's room!
Three men rushed out like flying. Fu Jingyu kicked the door and rushed in: "Junior sister, junior sister!"

Song Lu hid in a corner of the room, pointing at the bed in the room, and tremblingly said: "Rat, what a big rat!"

"Just a mouse?"

The three of them were speechless for a while, but Xu Yuan still walked over cautiously and checked the area around the bed carefully.

There is a rat hole in the corner under the bed.

Judging from the traces, Brother Rat must have come in and out here frequently.

Fu Jingyu said, "I'll change rooms with you."

"What if there is also one in your room, Senior Brother..."

Yu Yunhang, the clever little guy, immediately said, "Let us help you check it out together."

Finally, I really checked Fu Jingyu's room carefully to make sure there were no rat holes and that the doors and windows were tight so rats couldn't get in.

But Song Lu still looked unhappy.

"Then you can stay in this room, Junior Sister. We are leaving now, so you can get some rest early."

The three of them came out and went back to their rooms. Xu Yuan washed up and went to bed. Dafu lay on the edge of the bed, twisting and turning, unable to get rest.

Xu Yuan was about to fall asleep when this guy suddenly reached out to grab the quilt covering Xu Yuan, bit it, pulled it down, and wrapped it around himself.

Xu Yuan stood up and looked at it, and Dafu patted the ground with his webbed paws, indicating that the blue brick floor was too cold and hard.

Xu Yuan was helpless: "When you were at home, you didn't have so many requirements."

Dafu didn't care and crawled into the quilt, shrinking his head as well.

Xu Yuan went to the cabinet next to him and found a quilt to cover himself, then blew out the candle and rested.

In the middle of the night, Xu Yuan was suddenly awakened by a squeaking sound. He was furious and looked in the light. He saw Dafu sticking his butt out and carrying a big rat out from under the bed.

This mouse is as big as a rabbit! Its tail is thick and hard, like an iron skewer.

It wanted to play a few more rounds with Dafu, but Dafu picked it up and swung it with his big webbed paw, making it dizzy immediately. Dafu then used his flat mouth like a clamp to hit the mouse on the head hard.

The mouse kicked its hind legs, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving.

Xu Yuan touched Dafu's head as a reward, and at the same time, he swept the fire in his stomach onto the ground, burning the big rat to ashes.

Although we are in the house and the rat corpse does not cause any strange contact, it is still better to be cautious.

Then he curled up in bed and continued to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, the almanac was hanging on the wall next to the bed.

Today's ban:
Running around the streets, getting drunk, setting off firecrackers, and getting married.

Xu Yuan washed, dressed and was about to go out when he suddenly noticed something unusual on the ground.

Right next to the bed, not far from Dafu, there was a pile of dust.

This ash is left by the fire in the mouth's stomach that burned the big rat last night.

There was a small bump in the middle. Xu Yuan poked it with his toes, revealing a bean-shaped seed.

The surface was burnt black.

All the mice as big as rabbits were burned to death, so how could there be a seed left?
Xu Yuan frowned suspiciously: "From the rat's stomach?"

Xu Yuan checked it carefully again and saw that the seeds seemed to have sprouted.

But the sprouts that emerged were also burned, leaving only a little root embedded in the seed.

There is no spirituality or yin energy on the seeds, and even if there was, it would have been dissolved by the fire in the stomach.

Xu Yuan thought about it, kicked the thing under the bed, pretended that he hadn't noticed anything, then tidied up his official uniform, opened the door and went out.

As he was leaving, he ran into Yu Yunhang, who greeted him with a smile, "Good morning, sir."

Fu Jingyu also came out and said, "You can't ride a horse or a car today."

You can control the speed and let the horse go slowly.

But what if something unexpected happens and the horse gets frightened?
Yu Yunhang: "If you still ban drunkenness, I'm afraid there will be more innocent deaths in the city."

The ban on "drunkenness" is different from the ban on "drinking". The ban on drunkenness is very tricky.

On days like this, there are always people who hope for the best: I'll just take a sip, I can control myself.

The three of them waited for a while before Song Lu came out, having obviously put on her makeup carefully. Fu Jingyu took a look and then looked away, but after a while he couldn't help but take another look.

"Let's go and have breakfast first."

The four of them walked out of the courtyard and found a captain waiting outside the gate. They took a look and found that he was an acquaintance: the one who stopped Xu Yuan yesterday and refused to let him in without a badge.

Yu Yunhang was not forgiving and shouted, "Let's quickly take out our badges and let this captain check them."

The captain's face flushed instantly, and he leaned forward, holding his sword, and said reluctantly, "I am Lang Xiaoba, a subordinate, and I have been ordered by the superiors to wait for your orders."

Lang Xiaoba didn't know why he had such bad luck today. As soon as he started his shift in the morning, he was called out by the inspector.

The four officials from the Southern Office are unfamiliar with our Champa Office, so they need someone to follow them around and give them orders. It's you.

Lang Xiaoba was hesitant and wanted to refuse the job from the Inspector, but everyone in the Champa Office was feeling depressed these days. The Inspector scolded him harshly, so Lang Xiaoba had no choice but to come.

After Yu Yunhang finished speaking, he took off his badge and was about to hand it over, but was stopped by Xu Yuan.

"Stop messing around."

Lang Xiaoba frowned, feeling that it was going to be a long day.

"What are your plans for today, Lord Lin?" Xu Yuan asked.

Lang Xiaoba said, "The Chief Lawyer has other official business today, so he asked Inspector Lu to investigate the case with you guys. Inspector Lu doesn't live in the office, so he should have gone to the South City Patrol Office by now."

Xu Yuan nodded: "Then let's go over there too."

Outside the gate of Champa Office, as yesterday, the sentry was placed twenty feet away and no outsiders were allowed to approach.

Xu Yuan suddenly remembered, "You said yesterday that someone in the city was impersonating a lieutenant from the Extermination of Filth Division. What's going on?"

Lang Xiaoba's face remained stern. "A group of people, wearing fake uniforms and badges, sneaked into the houses of several wealthy families in the city and stole property under the pretext of tracking down evil spirits."

Yu Yunhang's eyes widened, seeming to be extremely surprised: "It's ok that you can't catch the man-eating evil spirit, but you can't catch this fake one either?"

Lang Xiaoba's face turned even darker.

There was only a cloud pattern on his sleeve. These four people, including Yu Yunhang, were all superiors to him, and he could only endure being manipulated by the Yin and Yang.

But I feel very angry.
