Paimon added fuel to the side: "Old Dai, don't you try it? Let's see who is the real expert!"

Ying slapped her head: "So it's going to be a competition on the spot."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Paimeng, you just want to watch a show, right?"

Paimon stuck out his tongue: "Hey!"

At this time, Lao Dai seemed at a loss: "Ah? This...I, I don't know how to compare..."

Paimon said: "Then think of a way to compete yourself. If Zhongli wins, ask him for help. If Zhongli...wrong, how could he lose!"

Kun Jun frowned: "Competition? Yes, yes, I am willing to accompany you!"

Zhong Li spoke with his magnetic voice: "This gentleman is very interested."

Kun Jun then smiled and said, "Ah ha ha, when I saw your face, I knew you must be knowledgeable. But it's hard to say which one is better than mine."

Paimon put his hands on his hips: "This man is so loud!"

Kun Jun looked very confident: "It's just telling the truth, hahaha... Besides, that's all I know."

Zhong Li continued, "Brother Kun is an appraiser?"

Kun Jun shook his head: "No, actually...Actually, I also forgot why I came to Liyue Port...One day I was standing by the side of the road, and was suddenly stopped by Lao Dai."

Then he continued: "Old Dai saw me holding the stone and asked me a few words, then he was very excited and asked me to meet here."

Paimon looked shocked: "Huh? Can this be forgotten?"

Lao Dai explained to everyone: "I came to Liyuegang Road, and I met this man standing on the side of the road to arrange the stones, and he was still chanting words, as if he was very familiar with those stones."

"I asked a few questions out of curiosity. Who knows, he knows better than me, the leader of the miner! Anyway, he has nothing to do, why don't you come and help me."

Paimon scratched his head: "This guy, he has a bad memory."

Kun Jun searched for a while: "I can't say it's a bad memory... But if it's just a stone, I can definitely help."

Then he took out a pebble-sized stone: "Mr. Zhongli, what do you think of this stone?"

Zhong Li observed carefully for a while: "Well..."

Then he continued to speak: "The shell of this stone is smooth, and the cracks on the surface are caused by volcanic eruptions. If I guess correctly, this is a stone embryo from another country."

Kun Jun was full of admiration: "Oh! What a good eye!"

Zhongli continued: "It's not an ordinary stone embryo. The shell is thin, the thread is black... I guess, it contains high-quality crystal ore."

Kun Jun clapped his hands together: "That's right, this rock came from the vicinity of the volcano. I bought it at the market while wandering around. The seller thought it was leftovers, but they didn't know the secret."

Ying asked curiously from the side: "Aren't there crystal mines everywhere?"

Chen Fan said: "That's what I said, but there are still differences in texture between them."

Kun Jun nodded: "This little brother is right. Pure color and high-grade texture alone are not enough to be called treasures. Rare crystals of higher grades, some are covered with water bladders, and some are hidden with gold sand."

"The crystal hidden under this layer of stone shell wrapped a mass of water at the moment of its formation. The water hidden at the bottom is like a full moon in the mountains, moving against the sky, which is quite rare."

Paimon couldn't help but admire and said: "It's so detailed, it's as if he saw it with his own eyes..."

"It's not to fool us, is it? After all, your stone hasn't been opened yet."

Zhong Li shook his head lightly: "No, what he said is the truth."

Then he explained: "Most crystals are born in high-temperature environments. High temperatures are incompatible with running water, so water tank crystals are therefore precious. What is hidden in this crystal is alpine lake water, which is even rarer."

Paimon's face was full of disbelief: "Even Zhongli said that...then it must be true..."

Kun Jun also admired Zhongli: "Mr. Zhongli's eyesight is the first time I've seen it! How do you know what it looks like under the stone shell?"

Chen Fan laughed in his heart and said: If he doesn't even know this, it will be scary to some extent.

Zhong Li then said: "I've seen a lot, so I naturally have some experience. I'm just showing off, please don't mind Brother Kun."

Kun Jun shook his head hastily: "No, no, how could it be! I think we hit it off very well, and I really want to make friends with you."

Then he looked at the man next to him: "Old Dai, bring Mr. Zhongli with you! Believe me, he is definitely a connoisseur with extraordinary eyesight. You will never meet a few people like this (of King Qian) in your life." .”

After the round just now, Lao Dai also has a new understanding of Zhongli: "That's good, one more person, one more strength. Everyone, please follow me to the stratum rock giant deep mining area, the brothers who got lost this time , and it’s up to you to find it back.”

Arriving at the mining area where the incident occurred, seeing the entrances of large and small mines surrounded by mountains, Paimon was deeply shocked: "Wow, this mining area is really a big deal."

Lao Dai led the crowd to a simple tent: "Everyone, this is where the incident happened."

Then he let out a long sigh: "Six days ago, I took a few guys out on errands, and when I came back, I heard that the four brothers who stayed behind had disappeared."

"I took people to search the entire mining area, but I couldn't find them. I really didn't have a clue, so I asked a few people to help."

Zhong Li frowned slightly: "In other words, four miners are missing."

At this time, Chen Fan looked around and vaguely saw something. .

Chapter 450: Memories of Stone

Lao Dai nodded and said, "Yes. We originally had ten people, but we lost Aaron, Cen Da, Cen Er, and Xiao Mao. They were all miners working with me."

Zhongli was silent for a while and said, "The workers in this industry are mostly young and middle-aged men. Could it be that the four miners have gone to another mine?"

Old Dai shook his head: "It's not like. There are no settlements around this area, and we haven't seen any other mines being mined along the way."

Kun Jun also frowned: "Hmm... You have searched all over such a large mining area?"

Old Dai's expression was solemn: "Not a single inch has fallen, and I have searched in the well, but I am only three feet away. But the four big living people can't get into the ground at once, can they?"

Zhong Li thought for a while and said, "Only after seeing the scene can we make a conclusion."

Old Dai was taken aback for a moment: "Hey, okay. I'll wait here. You can search as you please. If you have any clues about the missing brother, please tell me!"

A group of us came to the place where the four miners stayed behind that day that Lao Dai said.

Paimon pointed to the ground among a pile of messy ore: "Look, what is this?"

"Scattered clothes, trousers..."

As 860 Paimon said, several pieces of clothing were scattered on the ground.

Zhong Li stepped forward: "The daily necessities placed in the mining area should belong to Lao Dai and the others."

Paimon followed Zhong Li: "One, two, three, four..."

"Hmm... That's right, there are ten clothes and ten pairs of trousers in total."

Paimon continued: "These are replacement clothes, right? You see, Old Dai is also wearing the same clothes."

Zhong Li touched his chin: "Those four people went out for six days and haven't returned yet, but they didn't bring a change of clothes."

Chen Fan walked around in a circle: "There are cloth handkerchiefs and saponins for washing the face around... and these fanny packs, which are small tool bags."

Zhongli continued to think: "Utensils for washing in the morning, equipment for mining..."

Chen Fan followed suit: "In other words, these people didn't bring any luggage?"

Zhongli nodded: "Yes."

Ying thought for a while and said, "Maybe it won't be necessary?"

Zhong Li shook his head: "Not like."

Then he pointed to the storage point of the tools: "There are four less mining picks used for mining, which means that they are likely to carry tools."

"Having time to pack tools but no time to pack groceries? Doesn't make sense (cgdf)."

Paimon felt dizzy: "Uh... under what circumstances would a person go out without luggage and only with tools?"

Zhong Li quickly stated his deduction: "One, they went to work nearby and didn't need luggage, but these people haven't returned so far. This statement is self-defeating."

"Two, if they didn't leave of their own volition, they wouldn't have time to think about their luggage."

Paimon was startled when he heard this: "Hey!""

Ying said in surprise, "You mean, someone took you away?

Zhong Li couldn't deny it: "This possibility is not small. Further deduction requires more clues."

Paimon nodded: "I didn't leave voluntarily but was taken away. Please record this possibility and pass it on to Lao Dai."

Then everyone looked for other clues nearby.

Paimeng saw that Kun Jun was squatting on the ground looking at something: "Xiao Kun, what are you looking at?"

Chen Fan shrugged, and the emergency food began to imitate others again.

Kun Jun turned his head: "It's you, it's just in time."

Zhong Li stepped forward and came to his side: "What did you find?"

Kun Jun pointed to a stone on the ground: "There is a piece of ore here, I think, maybe we can get some clues from it."

Paimon's face was full of doubts: "Ore? Is this ore related to the disappearance case?"

Kun Jun took a deep breath: "For this kind of thing, just try it out. Wait a moment."

Then I saw him lightly touching the top of the ore with his right hand, his brows gradually furrowed.

Zhong Li's expression changed slightly, as if he understood something.

Paimeng looked at Kun Jun's concentration: "He seems to be very focused, what is he doing?"

Kun Jun touched the ore with his eyes closed: "I see. Four adults... walked out of the mining area with a figure that looked like a child."

Paimon was shocked when he heard this: "Children? How could there be children in the mining area?!"

Kun Jun shook his head: "I don't know either..."

Chen Fan asked curiously: "Also, what does "see" mean? "

Kun Jun hurriedly said, "Ah, it literally means 'seeing'.You listened, but don't tell anyone!I think this is rather weird, and I have never dared to tell anyone. "

Then lowered his voice: "Actually, I can see the memory of the ore."

Paimon was greatly surprised: "Hey——?!"

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows lightly: "It's not a guess, it's not an estimate, but it's "seeing"? "

Ying asked curiously, "Is it enough to put your hand on the rock like just now?"

Kun Jun withdrew his hand touching the ore, stood up and said to everyone: "Well, for me, ore also has "memory".They occasionally record what happened around them, and I can see those "memories" as long as I touch them and feel them with my heart. "

Paimon's eyes lit up: "So powerful! Then don't you know everything?"

Kun Jun shook his head: "It depends on the specific stone. Different ores have different memory capabilities. Common ores such as iron ore and white iron are basically useless, and the memory is very vague."

Then he added: "Shipo and Crystal have a stronger memory ability, and can record more scenes and more clearly."

Zhongli thought for a while: "Taking stones as eyes... Interesting. This kind of ability is really rare. It is really wise for Lao Dai to ask Brother Kun to help."

Kun Jun scratched his head and smiled: "Haha, it would be great if I could help everyone."

Then he pointed to a road not far away: "As far as I can see, they should have gone along this road."

Zhongli looked along the road: "This road points to the north, and you can leave the mining area by walking along it."

Paimon hurriedly said from the side: "They are heading north, record this clue and tell Lao Dai!"

Then everyone continued to look for other clues nearby.

Not far away, I saw a strong man.

Zhong Li stepped forward and asked, "Are you a worker here?"

The young man nodded: "Ah yes, yes! My name is Ah Hu, you are here to investigate the disappearance case, please, please save everyone!"

"I don't know... I don't know what happened. It was very dark that day, and the foreman took a few brothers to work outside."

"I stayed in the mining area with four other brothers to work, and I stole for a while to be lazy... just for a while!"

Speaking of this, Ah Hu's expression became more nervous and fearful: "I slept in the innermost shed, and when I woke up, everyone disappeared without a trace! I just talked to them not long ago, and suddenly... It's gone...".

Chapter 450 Three: Report the Situation!

"Shouldn't, shouldn't it be my turn at some point..."

Zhong Li frowned even tighter: "The people hiding in the shed are not missing, but the people working outside have disappeared."

"Could it be that something happened in the work area?"
