I am Lapland’s rat!

"Ichao, don't! Don't eat it!"

Chapter 1: Being a connector is not easy!

Time goes back to the present.

When the landlord opened the door, Texas saw the familiar Wu Xian chasing several unfamiliar flying beasts running past his feet like the wind.

At this time, Texas' mental journey went through three stages.

When she recognized that it was Xiaoyin and his fellow flying beasts who were running out:

"Well, Xiaoyin is just as I expected. He brought them to help me explore the road first. Well done."

When she found that Little Silver did not stop at her feet, but chased several other mole beasts:

"Well, this is normal. After all, we can't let the landlord find out that Saluzzo's people can actually communicate with the mole beast..."

When she discovered that the chased mole beast at the front was holding a very conspicuous white piece of paper in its mouth:

"Ah?! Wait, no, Xiaoyin found a new clue?!"

If Texas hadn't used her excellent facial muscle control to forcibly tighten her expression, I'm afraid the change in the expression on her face at this time would have been quite wonderful.

Without hesitating for long, Texas turned around and quickly followed Wu Xian on the corridor floor in the direction where Wu Xian left as he watched several flying beasts chasing each other towards the stairs!

"Sorry, I haven't opened this house for a long time, so there are some mole beasts living there..." The landlord, Uncle Luper, twisted his wrist and pulled the key out of the lock, and said with a wry smile.

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a gust of wind in his ears, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps getting farther and farther away.

The uncle turned his head in shock and saw that the little gray-haired Luper girl had run a long distance, then turned around and disappeared around the corner of the stairs!

Landlord Uncle Luper: "?"

"-Hey, miss, where are you going?!"

Uncle Luper froze on the spot. A second ago, he was worried that Texas would kill someone and silence him after seeing the house!

In the end, were those flying beasts more attractive to the young lady from the family than the house? !

……

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, don't be anxious!"

Wu Xian chased the four flying beasts in front of him with all his strength. The four flying beasts didn't know whether they were afraid that Wu Xian would snatch their food or were frightened. They kept running downstairs desperately, leaving Wu Xian with no choice but to stand in front of him. He chased wildly from behind.

Wu Xian even wanted to use "Emergency" on these disobedient rats!

However, "Urgent" seemed to only be usable on humans. Wu Xian opened the interface and took a look at the skill introduction in the midst of his busy schedule, and also found that there was the word "people" in the skill introduction.

This also resulted in Wu Xian having to use his physical strength to find a way to stop the brothers in front of him.

Fortunately, Wu Xian's physical strength, which he went to exercise with Lapland every day, could still withstand the test. When he ran to the bicycle shed downstairs, Wu Xian made a leap and finally knocked down the scarred beast in front!

"Hey!"

"Any bad rat will be brought to justice!"

Wu Xian pressed the scarred mole beast's head with his right front paw, grabbed the piece of paper in the mole beast's mouth with his left front paw, and pulled it out: "Squeak!"

"——You can't steal this!"

Wu Xian mixed some unhappy emotions into his cry, so the latter two rats also stayed away and stopped staring at the piece of paper.

At this time, the Scarred Flying Beast also calmed down. It stood up dizzily, facing Wu Xian, and gave a cautious and aggrieved "squeak".

"--hungry."

Wu Xian: "…………"

"Okay, okay, I'll let Texas find you something to eat later."

He responded helplessly and pulled the paper with his paws. At this time, footsteps came from behind the mice.

The flying beasts quickly scattered to avoid it, but Wu Xian raised his head and saw Texas, who was running all the way, stopped in front of Wu Xian, took a breath and said, "Xiao Yin?"

The flying beasts were not running very fast. She was actually able to take action several times, but Texas was afraid that she would accidentally stab or crush Xiaoyin's friends to death, so she chased them all the way down the stairs.

But what surprised Texas was that Xiaoyin easily dealt with the mole beast holding the piece of paper and snatched the piece of paper back, showing a very obvious superiority and inferiority in the back and forth. relation.

This also left Texas a little unsure of what to say.

"You're here." Wu Xian blinked and stretched out his paw to push the paper on the ground.Signaling Texas to pick it up and open it to take a look.

He will not bite things that have been bitten by other rats.

Texas: "..."

Texas still looked around, and after finding no one there, he picked up the piece of paper on the ground and unfolded it along the crease.

This piece of paper doesn't look big, but it's actually folded from special letter paper. It's really quite big when fully unfolded. It seems to be the same type of letter paper that Siro once used to deliver messages to Albert.

Wu Xian looked at this scene and knew that his Shushu brother had picked up something real this time!

"Brother, you're awesome. I'll give you extra food today. Don't worry. Even though I slapped you, Shushu, I will never treat you badly."

Wu Xian turned his head and glanced in the direction of the scarred rat beast, only to find that the black rat was running far away because he was afraid of Texas.

After Texas unfolded the letter, his expression that had always been very cold changed slightly.

After carefully reading what was written on the letter, Texas squinted his eyes, folded the letter and put it in his pocket, then carefully lowered his head and asked: "Xiao Yin, this piece of paper was found in that room. ?”

Wu Xian blinked and wagged his tail.

"To be precise, it was found in the cupboard in the room."

When he took a sudden look just now, he saw a deeply hidden mouse hole in the cleaned cupboard. There were some fresh paw prints next to the mouse hole, and a lot of sawdust had been pulled out.

It seems that someone put this piece of paper in the mouse hole and filled it with sawdust to pretend that the mouse hole was blocked. When several rats went to look for food, they instinctively filled the "traffic jam" mouse hole. Unblocked.

As for why the scarred beast ran away with the piece of paper in its mouth, it was probably because this was the only thing in the empty cupboard that looked most like food.

Wu Xian felt that if he had been late chasing after him for a second, the piece of paper would have been digested into mouse feces in his brother's stomach!

"So, what's written on that piece of paper?"

Wu Xian was very curious about what content could be on the piece of paper that made Texas so moved.

Texas was silent for a while and said: "...Judging from the tone, this letter should have been written by the 'ghost informant'."

"This is an outdated information about the personnel changes of several small gangs opposed to Saluzzo."

"——Furthermore, he seemed...to think that he was serving Saluzzo until his death!"

Wu Xian blinked: "...the job of a connector is really difficult."

He somewhat understood why Texas's brows were frowning so deeply.

Although many clues were collected, the mystery not only did not decrease, but became more.

Chapter 131 De Gouzi’s reasoning!

……

After getting the piece of paper left by the "ghost informant", Texas went back to the room and checked it carefully to confirm that all other clues had been cleared up by those who came first and the landlord himself.

After appeasing the landlord and paying a small amount of hush money, it was already afternoon.

Texas, who hadn't had lunch yet, randomly found an empty restaurant on the street, chose a private room at the back, and asked the restaurant owner not to disturb him after the dishes were served.

In the private room, Texas glanced at the four flying beasts fighting for two small pieces of pizza in the corner, and then looked at Wu Xian, who was slowly enjoying the dessert in front of him and wiping his beard roots with a paper towel from time to time. , sighed half helplessly and half tiredly.

Little Silver is indeed very different from his peers.

Wu Xian blinked and looked up at the gray-haired Luper girl: "Ah, Texas seems to be tired."

It seems that today's work comes to an end.

Wu Xian could also tell from the soliloquies that Texas told him that she was not a diligent child herself - or in other words, she was not as perfect as everyone thought.

She likes to procrastinate, is a little lazy, and will be distressed when encountering troubles. She will find a way to complain to a rat who will not tell her worries.

From what Wu Xian had seen following Texas in the past two days, in terms of her performance in the Eastern District, Texas did not look like a foreign girl who had just arrived in Syracuse for less than a month.

But she was not from Syracuse.

As a girl who did not grow up in this kind of environment, it takes a lot of effort to achieve such results in Texas.

Otherwise, how can a "comfort zone" be called a "comfort zone"?

"Xiao Yin." Texas had no idea that Wu Xian was psychologically analyzing her at this moment. She drank the creamy soup with a spoon and sighed:

"Let's sort through the clues for a while. You basically know these clues. If you think my analysis is wrong, just wag your tail."

Wu Xian blinked: "?"

"Sister, I mean, is there a possibility that my brain capacity is only one hundred thousandth of yours?"

Shushu can’t do it!

"But you actually think about work while eating. This really makes me, Shushu, impressed."

Seeing Wu Xian looking at him with confused eyes, Texas smiled bitterly, seeming to know that he was putting Wu Xian in too much trouble: "Well... Anyway, let's start the analysis from the beginning."

"The Oxtail Street blockade incident was triggered by the reward letter." While Texas was drinking soup, her eyes gradually became deep and shiny, which seemed to be a sign that she had entered a certain thinking mode.

"We assume that there is a behind-the-scenes person who wants to harm us. This behind-the-scenes person may be a family in the East District, or it may not be in the East District."

"Then we assume that the reward letter was sent by the man behind the scenes."

"We know that the reward letter did not cause any waves at first. It was not until the 'ghost informant' was caught by a small gang and he actually received the reward. Then other gangs, big and small, started to move around, threatening Saluzzo's takeover of the East District. The whole plan.”

"So, the 'ghost informant' is a key point... yes."

After Texas reasoned like this, he suddenly thought of something.

"If our normal informant is caught, both Siro and Mr. Alf can respond quickly. It is impossible for such an informant to be silently taken away to collect the reward, and we have no previous information. We came to investigate and there was no threat.”

"Only if they caught a 'ghost informant' who really served Saluzzo but didn't even know about Saluzzo himself, could they create such a situation!"

"And the letter we just obtained proves one thing."

"Since the 'ghost informant' even believes that he is Saluzzo's informant, it means that there must be a third party disguised as one of our people to develop him into a downline. This is the same as having a 'mastermind' behind the scenes." Assuming it corresponds exactly!”

Wu Xian blinked and looked at Texas.

He thought there were more mysteries!Unexpectedly, new clues connected all the original clues?

Texas completed the puzzle pieces on his own.

"In this way, the existence of the mastermind behind the scenes has been confirmed, his purpose has been revealed, and his identity has many directions for investigation...and so on." Texas muttered so softly, and suddenly frowned.

"...their purpose."

"——Then how to explain the tavern attack? If they just want the big and small gangs to unite against Saluzzo, there is no need to do anything to provoke Saluzzo."

"Assuming you didn't take action that day, Xiaoyin, Broca and I would definitely have been captured." Texas frowned slightly when he said this, "No, if we really have to assume, those who were there should also be Silla, not me.”

"If Ciro and Broca were there, Lapland would definitely retaliate and use force to suppress the East District, and the gangs would definitely be divided. This would conflict with the purpose of creating the 'Ghost Informant' incident!"

Therefore, there are only two possibilities.

Either there is more than one mastermind behind the scenes, or...

The purpose of the mastermind was not to prevent Saluzzo from occupying the East End.

Wu Xian's eyes moved, and he suddenly thought of the poisoning incident in the hospital before Texas came to the East District.

Behind that incident, there was also an unknown mastermind.

After Texas was silent for a moment, she obviously also thought about the poisoning incident. After all, that incident was the direct reason why she was now working as a connector in the East District.

Texas and Wu Xian looked at each other.

"...to weaken Saluzzo's vitality."

The purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes is to weaken Saluzzo's vitality!

This way everything can be explained!

The purpose of poisoning in hospitals is to leave patients with hidden dangers of disability, while not using highly toxic poisons is to avoid making things worse. This is a fact that has been analyzed for a long time!

Apply the logic of this matter to the informant incident and the tavern attack incident, and the logic is very clear.

The man behind the scenes created the "ghost informant" incident, which created a rift between Saluzzo and the major gangs in the East District. On the surface, it prevented Saluzzo from taking over the East District, but in fact it prevented Saluzzo from continuing to recruit people in the East District!
