Alien landlady

Chapter 72
The class time for the summer vacation is Principal Hart's. Bai Tongtong is proficient enough in basic magic, and the principal plans to teach her magic in the middle grades. This can be regarded as the official start of magic learning, and at the same time, those theoretical classes cannot be missed.

Theory is easy for Bai Tongtong, but this new level of magic class made her feel the bottleneck problem in magic promotion. The consumption of magic elements has increased by more than an order of magnitude, which requires more concentration, and finally I experienced headaches and other discomfort symptoms caused by excessive practice, which affected the learning efficiency of theoretical classes.

Fortunately, Bai Tongtong is an adult. She can control her emotions and pressure well. She is not impatient when facing difficulties in her studies, but quickly adjusts to a new state. Take a break and devote the rest of your energy to theoretical study.

The canine named Harding by the owner carefully watched the place for more than ten days, and finally caught a chance when the principal and Bai Tongtong were not at home, and quietly placed the gift on Bai Tongtong's antique writing desk.

When Bai Tongtong and Ah Huang came back from the once-a-week Sunday market, they saw the box on the writing desk at a glance. They just wanted to ask if the housekeeper brought it up, but immediately overturned this guess by themselves. If you come, the housekeeper will tell her in advance when she was downstairs just now.

[Could it be that your request has been met? 】Ah Huang jumped onto the writing desk and sniffed it cautiously. There was no strange smell, but he could feel pure fluctuations in magic power. 【There is at least a piece of magic ore in it. 】

[I thought I was just talking. 】Bai Tongtong grabbed the box, hesitating whether to open it or not.

【Are you really just talking? 】Ah Huang tilted his head and looked at her contemptuously.

[I'm really talking about it. I don't expect people to really give it away. There is no way to give away a precious thing with high-end technology. 】

[Wuying Mao's partner asks for things, and finds others to cooperate without giving convenience. How can you just talk casually?Now that someone gave it to you, you suddenly became timid. 】

Bai Tongtong squinted her mouth, put her finger on the lid of the box, 【Is there really no danger?No bombs or anything? 】

【No! 】Ah Huang bared his teeth and breathed out, if he didn't open it again, it would grab it.

Bai Tongtong finally opened the box. There was indeed only one stone emitting a soft green light inside. The upper and lower sides were cut flat for easy placement. The surrounding area was only polished so that it would not cut hands, and it was not cut into a square and regular hexagonal shape. look.

[This is the rune stone. 】Bai Tongtong researched it over and over as if looking at a rare treasure. The teleportation array drawn on it was so small that it could only be seen clearly with a high-power magnifying glass, but the basic raw material was colorful magic crystals, which relied on the natural magic power contained in the crystals as the transmission The power required for the array.

[I really gave it to you!This spar is high-quality, you have caught a big fish! ] Ah Huang was also shocked.

【I go! 】Bai Tongtong rolled his eyes at Ah Huang, he was so righteous just now, this little bitch.

Ah Huang turned a blind eye to Bai Yan, and instead urged Bai Tongtong, [Should we try to activate the teleportation array, write a letter and ask who is the recipient over there?If you're in the same city, how about some time to come out and have a cup of tea and watch a show together? 】

【Hey!Who told you to keep your distance last time? 】

[It's different now!Local tyrants!Local tycoon!It is worth developing! 】

【don't want!I want to keep this as a specimen, so I don't want to use it. The more I communicate, the more opportunities I have to betray myself. What if I'm not a good person? 】

【whispering sound!Only you are timid!It will be many years before you are able to learn the runestone teleportation array. 】

[Maintaining a sense of mystery in front of big shots is the way to preserve value, it's too easy to let people know that your cards are worthless. 】

Ah Huang was immediately discouraged, and jumped back to bed to sleep, 【It's really boring. 】

Bai Tongtong happily continued playing with the runestones for a while, put them back into the box and put them in the ring, took out the magic book and sat down to read.

When Harding came home, his owner went out to attend a party. He lay down on the terrace outside the study to sleep with the breeze blowing, and the eight-drawer filing cabinet in the room suddenly lit up. This wolf-like dog The animal immediately ran back to receive the letter, and the note contained bad news. Cady Reggie, who was originally held in Halden City Jail, was found hanging himself with his own pants in his cell.

Harding frowned. This is really not good. The search for other victims of the scammer is in progress, and the defendant is dead.

Putting the note on the desk and pressing it down with a paperweight, Harding turned into a breeze and flew straight to Halden to see what happened.

The warden's office in Halden City Prison was still in chaos. Cardi Reggie's parents and relatives were crying inside. They only met Cardi here yesterday. They planned to let the female relatives They went home, and the man stayed to deal with the lawsuit, only to hear the sad news.

Harding only stayed for a short while, and left after learning about the current storage location of the body. He was not interested in how humans deal with such things, but was full of curiosity about Cady Reggie's death process.

Because of the air vents in the cool and dark basement all year round, Harding easily slipped in and rushed towards the morgue. At most, the guards felt that the aisle was very windy, and they couldn't see anything else.

In the room with all four walls painted white, there was only one dead body. You could tell it was Cady Reggie without looking. An unusual smell in the air.

Harding leaned closer to the body and sniffed it carefully. Indeed, there was an extremely faint smell seeping out from the body's seven orifices and pores. It was the smell of poison.

Since you have taken poison, why bother to strangle your neck?Harding thinks this matter is worthy of further investigation, especially since this person has more than ten fraud cases on his back. There are so many victims waiting for compensation to regain their lives. This sudden death, probably the only ones who will be happy are his family members.

What's more, the family members came to see him yesterday, and it's hard to say what arrangements they made.

Harding licked his nose and ran out of the morgue in a gust of wind. He felt that he should go back to the warden to see the family members, who had benefited the most and who was the most suspected. If the family members did it, they would be ruthless enough.

When Harding returned to the warden's office, he found that Tavel had also arrived, and was arguing with Reggie's family. The suspect committed suicide and died. It is impossible to prove how much personal property Cady Reggie still has. If he insists that he spent most of the money he defrauded, unless there is new evidence, the judge will be helpless.

Harding thought for a while, then turned his head and followed the female relatives who went back to the hotel to rest first. No matter how fierce the quarrel was between the men, they would not dare to kill anyone in front of the warden. There was nothing to worry about.

Enduring the slow speed of the rented carriage, Harding discovered that the family actually lived in a big hotel in the busiest part of the city. The richest family in Keluo Town, Bining City did not forget to maintain their style even when they went out with a lawsuit.

After the women went back to the guest room and changed their clothes, they ordered refreshments and chatted about the fashionable clothes and new things they saw on the street. Even Cardi Reggie's wife didn't have the sad expression of her dead husband on her face, the mother-in-law It's the same with the sisters-in-law, the appearance of crying to death in the warden's office before can't be seen at all, but it's a kind of relief.

Harding felt that if he could whistle, he must whistle the loudest. It suddenly occurred to him whether the whole family was involved in the story of Cardi Reggie's deception outside, and the whole family could enjoy the benefits. Once the incident happened, as The eldest son of the heir was also sacrificed mercilessly.

The canine patiently lurked outside the window. In the afternoon, the men of Reggie’s family came back. The walls of the big hotel are well insulated from sound, but they couldn’t block the ears of the wind-type monsters. No matter how softly they spoke, Harding could hear them all. all.

Reggie's family gave the eldest son in prison fragrant snowball biscuits mixed with poison, and they didn't tell him. They just wanted to quietly make him fall ill and die. The family was also very puzzled by the strangle marks on his neck. , but I don't care about it for the sake of the result.

Harding half-closed his eyes, stopped listening to this disgusting family meeting, and went straight home.

When it landed on the terrace and showed its figure, its owner was already wearing home clothes and was standing in front of the desk reading the text message. Harding walked over, whimpering softly, and the man touched it with the other hand. Touched the top of its head.

"You went to Halden? What's the matter?"

[Killed by family members.They put poison in the biscuits, trying to create the illusion of sudden illness and death, but the family didn't know the strangle marks on his neck. They didn't know whether the suspect committed suicide or the jailer panicked after seeing him dead. 】

"Is that so?" The man put down the letter paper, walked to the sofa, poured himself a cup of tea from the tea tray put down by the housekeeper, and sat down to drink slowly. "Their family is in Halden now? No one is home?"

[Probably only the children at home. 】

"Tell me, what will the cat's partner do if she gets the news?"

[I just gave her the rune stone today, so I can't wait to contact her? 】

"Any new thing must have a chance to try." The man said with a smile, stood up with a teacup and walked to the desk, spread the paper and pen, and the quill flew up under the gust of wind, dipped the ink on the paper It is much faster than manual handwriting, but the handwriting looks very ordinary, that is, the level of ordinary education.

Apparently it was done on purpose.

After a while, the letter was finished. The man folded the letter paper twice. Harding opened the fourth floor of the filing cabinet. The man stimulated the runestones with magic power, activated the teleportation array, and threw the note into it.

Bai Tongtong had just had afternoon tea with the principal and went back to the bedroom to rest when she suddenly felt a magical movement in the ring on her hand. She was so frightened that she quickly rummaged inside and took out the box containing the runestones.

【If you don't look for him, he will look for you first. 】Ah Huang didn't go to bed anymore, and jumped onto the writing desk with great interest, waiting to watch the excitement.

Bai Tongtong glanced at it, opened the box, and there was a teleportation array floating on the runestones. There was a note in the array, and the change of magic power came from the magic power consumed during the operation of the teleportation array.Bai Tongtong immediately took down the note, the teleportation array disappeared, and the runestone turned into a beautiful stone again.

【What did you write? 】

"Cady Reggie was poisoned to death by the poisonous biscuits given by his family!?" Bai Tongtong stared at the note in his hand dumbfounded.

Ah Huang was excited, his eyes were wide open, and his eyes were shining, 【Ha, this family is really impressive!What does that mysterious boss want from you? 】

"I didn't say it, it seems to be telling me about it."

[Impossible, big people speak and do things with hidden meanings, you can't just take the literal meaning.Also, keep your voice down, the principal is at home. 】

[Think about it, if the suspect is dead, the case will be over, and Tavel and his victimized businessmen will not be able to get compensation. 】

[Look, this is what the big man meant. 】

[Could it be that I was asked to rob Reggie's property?Stealing from the rich and helping the poor? 】

[Tavier was rescued by us, so do good things to the end? 】

[Such a noble reason? 】

【Our errand, your labor is free, but I take you around, how will my salary be calculated?Repudiation is out of the question. 】Ah Huang licked his mouth and said treacherously.

[It makes sense, we can't default on the labor remuneration of rare monsters, let's go, let's go find them and get them back. 】

Bai Tongtong simply tidied up the room, ran downstairs on the pretext of going for a walk outside, and took Ah Huang out of the principal's house.

Walking all the way out of the entire magician community, one person and one cat escaped to the Magician's Guild, and the teleportation array went to Binin City, and then Bai Tongtong took a rented carriage and asked the driver to take her to the best shop to buy Xiangxueqiu biscuits, Ah Huang headed to Keluo Town with an empty interspatial bag in his mouth. It was already handy for such things.

While Bai Tongtong was still looking at the dazzling array of fragrant snowball biscuits in the store and didn't know which flavor to choose, Ah Huang had returned with the spoils he had harvested and found her in the city.

In the end, Bai Tongtong bought two biscuits of each flavor, and brought a total of two bags back to Wangdu for everyone to eat.

In the evening, Principal Hart and his wife went out to the banquet, and Bai Tongtong stayed in the bedroom and secretly counted the property of Reggie's family that Ahuang had looted. In addition to the usual safe deposit box and cellar grain and wine, it even prepared the restaurant's business funds and the back kitchen. The fresh biscuits that were put aside to cool were all packed into space bags and taken away.

【You really didn't give them a chance to stand up. 】

[Let them also taste the taste of bankruptcy. 】

Bai Tongtong ran downstairs again, asked the cook for some food bags and took them back to the room, filled all the bags with the biscuits stolen by Ah Huang before closing the bags tightly; The silver and copper coins were sorted into categories, and Bai Tongtong put a heavy gold coin box and all the biscuits into a space bag.

[Okay, that's all, the rest of the jewelry and cash is up to us. 】Bai Tongtong smiled and squinted her eyes, took out the runestone, and activated the teleportation array with a slight surge of magic power. She sat down in front of the desk and wrote a note with only one sentence on it, and then put the note into the space bag, Throw it into the teleportation array.

The space bag disappears when it is put in, and then the teleportation array is also extinguished.

[This thing is so convenient. 】Bai Tongtong felt infinitely, this is really the high technology of this world.

[Study hard, one day you will learn how to make it. 】Ah Huang encouraged.

Bai Tongtong smiled and scratched the top of Ah Huang's head.

Ah Huang turned her head and asked for further grooming service.

Putting the bed full of belongings aside for the time being, Bai Tongtong put the rune stones in the desk drawer, happily took out the comb, Ah Huang jumped onto the window sill, shook his glossy thick hair and closed his eyes to enjoy its exclusive special service.
