Yi Liuling returned to the Kaguya Sai Tavern with worries. After catching Ni Kuitu as a clue, he and Kate basically believed that the other accomplice was the vice principal. In addition to having complete motives and complete conditions for committing the crime, the vice-principal is also a frequent customer of Ni Shiyou's pie. He was even a cat lover before moving to the retirement village.
With the right time, right place, and right people, the vice-principal was a perfect candidate for a criminal.
As a result, he happened to be knocked down by the surprise potion he had concocted, and he lay in the hospital for a week. And because the hospital was in a place with a lot of elderly people like a nursing home, it could be said that business was booming with people coming and going.
Yi Liuling asked around and collected testimonies from people with various positions and identities, all of which strongly supported the vice principal's alibi.
It was perfect, just like his suspicion was perfect.
Could it be that I really suspected the wrong person? So is Ni Kutu innocent?
"You're back?" Kate leaned against the door frame of the tavern, looking at the dejected Yi Liuling, "How's the investigation going?"
Yi Liuling told Kate what she asked about: "Unless the vice-principal knows the cloning technique, I'm afraid it's not him."
"Isn't it? I think it's almost certain." Knowing that her guess was wrong, Kate was obviously a little frustrated, but she quickly adjusted, "It's okay, isn't there another one? Let's just ask That’s fine with him.”
"Will he say it?" Yi Liuling knew that Kate was talking about Ni Yutu, but it would take a lot of effort to pry this guy's mouth open, right?
"Oh," Kate's expression was very flat, "He has already done it."
"Yes, I had evil thoughts because I couldn't open the store anymore and I still had no inspiration for the new recipe." In the lobby of the tavern, Ni Kutu said with regret, "Since cat cakes are not popular with children, I plan to Change your thinking and open up the female market, but you have to have a gimmick. It just so happens that Kaguya's fruit is said to have the magical effect of delaying aging, so I..."
"What did you do to him?" Yi Liuling stared at Ni Kuantu, who was completely different from before she left, and turned to ask Kate, "Did you torture him?"
Why is this guy like the criminal named by the detective in some mystery dramas, who suddenly starts to confess.
"No," Kate shook her head with an innocent expression and pointed to another table, "I saw that you haven't come back and you have nothing to do. The signal on the first floor is not good, so I just figured out how to do it."
"Carved flowers?" Yi Liuling ignored Ni Sutu who was sitting there playing her thoughts in a loop. She looked at the table and found several things on it.
A knife, as well as radishes, cucumbers, eggplants and other stick-shaped ingredients cut into various flower shapes.
Yi Liuling suddenly felt a dull pain somewhere, but Kate beside him looked as normal, so he could only force a smile: "The heroine is good at her craftsmanship."
"My dad is a tavern owner, and I have been helping in the kitchen since I was a child. If the principal hadn't said that I was suitable for being a detective, I might have become a chef." When talking about her strengths, even Kate sounded proud.
"So, you just sat next to him and cut these without saying a word?" Yi Liuling pointed to the ingredients, "And then he did it?"
"Not only that, not only that, I knew what this majestic lady was going to do at a glance, so I cooperated and told some more vivid stories." The blond man on the side appeared again, with a smile on his face. A smile asking for credit, "How's it going? I have one-third of the credit for this one, right?"
Kate ignored the blond man's attentiveness and sat across from Ni Kuantu's table: "So, you sneaked into Kaguya Sai High School ten days ago and planned to steal the fruit? How did you avoid the forest guard?"
Kaguya's fruit is located inside the bamboo before it matures. Once broken, it can only exist for one night and will be buried early the next morning.
Therefore, if you want to steal Kaguya's fruit, the time cannot be early or late, it must be exactly ten nights ago.
However, just because everyone knew that if someone wanted to steal something, they would come at this time, so the security was the tightest that night. Unlike the separate patrols after the forest was closed, all the forest guards would be there that night, surrounding the bamboo forest. At the same time, there would be other forest guards patrolling inside to check on Kaguya's condition.
Even if Ni Kutu relied on his own natal props to avoid the detection circle and the induction of the grass field, there should be no way to hide it from the eyes of the forest guards.
"Yes, it also relies on my natal item." Ni Yutu stammered, "Using the powder of the powder pill to control insects and take away their vitality, I drank the insect-transforming potion, then mixed with other insects and sneaked in Bamboo forest."
Turning into a bug and sneaking into a place is indeed a very common method, but this method is usually more afraid of aura monitoring, or meeting a powerful person and being seen through at a glance.
Although there are many forest guards and their strength is not weak, not all of them are proficient in transformation spells. And the monitoring system they trusted very much happened to be successfully blocked by Ni Kuitu.
"What a good idea." Kate stared at Ni Yutu, "It's really unfair of you to just open a bakery."
"It's not very powerful, because this is not what I studied." Ni Kutu was honest and confessed directly, "Actually, this is the recipe for cat cakes that has been passed down from generation to generation in our family, because the pollen of the powder can control insects and take away vitality. ability. So, after my ancestors slightly improved it, they gave life to the cake in reverse, and obtained an effect different from the general transformation spell. However, so far, only the arrangement of turning into a cat has been studied, otherwise the animal species may More."
"Wancao, your family's technology tree is crooked." Yi Liuling was shocked after hearing this, "You have researched how to use vitality, but you are actually making cakes?"
This can't help but surprise him. As mentioned before, the eighth world divides life based on whether life energy is needed. And this life energy is a very complicated thing. Now everyone has only discovered that it is contained in many things, and is still far from being able to control it.
When a person is alive, he is life. After death, if he turns into a ghost, he is still life. It is not until the soul dissipates and returns to the embrace of Youyue that he is truly "dead".
Since a living creature dies when it loses the ability to utilize life energy, can a dead creature acquire this ability and become a living creature?
The answer is yes. There are many natural examples even in the eighth world. The most classic ones are various elemental life forms. For example, the strange fire that Yi Liuling once saw in Jinuo Town is a rare fire element life form.
