Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

After working so hard to accomplish something earth-shattering, we naturally have to treat ourselves well. "Yuquan Bath also provides first-class food and beverage. If I were a terrorist, I would definitely go there for vacation. So as long as we are lucky enough, we might even meet terrorists when we go to take a bath."

If anyone else had said this, Duan Mingyuan would have thought it was heresy, but when it came out of Jiu Yue's mouth it had a different meaning.

If you're lucky enough.

So, how lucky is September, the auspicious fox?

The total number of days the update has been on the shelves is: 24!

Chapter 155 The Self-cultivation of the Famous Detective

Duan Mingyuan had heard about the wonders of fish spring bath a long time ago.

When this project was first introduced, it was quite popular among workers and everyone who experienced it raved about it. The most magical thing was the claim that it "absorbs negative energy". Although no one could clearly explain what negative energy was, everyone who experienced it felt that their negative energy had been absorbed.

Duan Mingyuan felt that this was probably a marketing tactic, because according to his observation, those who claimed that their negative energy had been sucked away were unable to generate positive energy at work.

In fact, he had been interested in this, but when he found out online that the only fish bath in Yunlong City was located on a mountain in the suburbs and it took four hours to drive there and back, he completely gave up the idea.

There is only one day off per week.

There was nothing in the world that would make him spend four hours of the only day he had on a vehicle.

This is what it is like to live alone. Even going out to eat requires a long mental struggle. After Duan Mingyuan's long-term academic research, he found that ordering takeout is the most cost-effective lifestyle.

And now, several years after the craze for the fish spring baths had passed, he came to the bathhouse for the first time in his life.

There was a thin layer of mist in the bathing area, and the air was mixed with water vapor.

At this time, there were only a few scattered guests in the bathhouse, and they all seemed to be invited visitors from outer space. After all, at this time, normal people in the court were all at work or attending academic seminars.

The clerk was yawning and looked like he was still sleepy.

Based on September’s evaluation, service attitude: two stars.

But this did not dampen September's enthusiasm. She carefully studied the project list and became very interested in the "family room".

The list states that this was prepared for a family to enjoy a fish spring bath, providing guests with maximum privacy.

Duan Mingyuan expressed a different opinion, "I think we should go to the big bath separately."

Although he was also interested in the space for only two people, it was obvious that the large bath was more conducive to collecting intelligence.

Yes, although you may not believe it, they are indeed here to investigate the alien kidnapping case.

Jiu Yue called this method of solving cases "slacking off in law enforcement."

As the name suggests, as long as you are lucky enough, criminals will come to you while you are slacking off.

It may sound ridiculous at first, but if you carefully study the development of the detective profession in modern history, you will find an astonishing fact - truly excellent detectives never need to take over cases, because all murders occur automatically during their travels.

This is true of both Hercule Poirot and Conan.

Jiu Yue believes that the talent of becoming a famous detective is to be able to cause people to die wherever they go.

In terms of bringing misfortune to people, they are highly similar to evil foxes, and even most evil foxes do not kill as many people as famous detectives.

Especially a certain elementary school student who is a god of death, even the fox has to ask him for advice.

And September is undoubtedly the culmination of all of them.

Not only was she lucky, she also understood the abilities of the evil fox. As long as she wanted, the clerk who had been yawning since they entered the store and ignored them would most likely become the next victim.

The reason was that he accidentally came across a terrorist plot during his work.

But Duan Mingyuan is a serious man.

Even if it's just a pretense, we have to symbolically collect some information.

"Mr. Mingyuan, your way is outdated. You should listen to me."

September refused to back down on this issue.

The rare trip to Yuquan Bath was to leave an unforgettable memory with Mr. Mingyuan. She didn't want the first thing that came to her mind when she recalled the trip to Yuquan Bath in the future would be a group of unfamiliar aunts and grandmas.

She is a researcher on "slacking off in law enforcement". "The essence of this law enforcement method is that you have to fully enjoy the leisure process."

"What about the terrorists?" Duan Mingyuan asked, "Even if you are lucky and they come to the bathing area for vacation after committing a crime, they will not be so reckless as to break into the family area."

"Didn't you look at the zoning map? The family area and the public area are in two separate areas. Even if they really come for vacation, they will definitely choose the family area."

In order to trick Mr. Mingyuan into the family room, Jiuyue ignited her detective soul, and her insight became unprecedentedly sharp. She pointed to the entrance not far away and said, "You see, not everyone who goes to the family area is a family."

Duan Mingyuan looked in the direction of her finger, and saw two men in yukatas, both of them were in their early 40s, with heavy faces, and they didn't look like they were here to enjoy their vacation.

It is daytime now, which is also the time of the day when the bathhouse has the lowest number of visitors.

September said with certainty, "Some people will take advantage of the privacy of the family area to plot things."

"You think too darkly of this world. They may just be brothers trying to keep in touch with each other."

"How can brothers bond by exposing their breasts?"

"Yes, Brother Haier."

Duan Mingyuan immediately cited an example. In his impression, the two brothers had never worn clothes when they met. Considering the special terrain of the court, the possibility of a visit from the Haier brothers from outer space could not be ruled out.

"you--!"

Jiu Yue was speechless for a moment, and puffed out his chest in annoyance, "Am I not much better looking than the Haier Brothers? If you go to the public area, the bathhouse is full of Haier Brothers, and they might even be transformed from stinky mud. With your obsessive-compulsive disorder, Mr. Mingyuan, you probably won't be able to stay there for even ten minutes!"

Although Duan Mingyuan didn't understand how Chou Chou Ni disguised himself as a human and sneaked into the bathhouse, he admitted that he was indeed a little shaken.

He pretended to be calm and said, "This is work."

Being able to endure for the sake of work and life is a basic quality of a dedicated worker.

"Then think about it, what if a stinky mud picks his nose in front of you and then puts his hand in the sink?"

September also gave it a go.

If this happens, Mr. Mingyuan is likely to become a terrorist first.

"Tell me your plan."

The scene described by Jiu Yue dealt the final blow to Duan Mingyuan's wavering heart. He was rarely convinced by the other party and lost the title of "King of Hard Talk". "If we stay in a small cubicle, how can we investigate the kidnappers?"

"It's very simple."

Jiu Yue finally showed a satisfied smile. She opened the music player on her phone and selected the background music called "Patrol 2". She said, "If this background music starts playing later, it means a murder has occurred. We can just rush out of the room when the time comes."

Thanks to Xiaozhubuqingkanshu for the 600 Qidian coins as a reward!

Chapter 156 The Father of Modern Bathhouse

Rationally speaking, September's plan is unreliable.

First of all, Duan Mingyuan didn't think that the criminals would take out a speaker to play BGM after killing someone to let everyone know that a murder had occurred here, but Jiu Yue was right about one thing. The trip to Yuquan Bath was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and bringing Jiu Yue along was like turning on a 999-fold chance.

He also had to consider the worst-case scenario.

The biggest loss in this operation was undoubtedly that they not only did not encounter the kidnappers, but also witnessed the process of stinky mud contaminating the bathing beach in the public area.

This may cause him to have psychological trauma in public places such as bathhouses and swimming pools from now on.

After changing his clothes, Duan Mingyuan walked in first.

The mist here is much thicker than outside. You can only see blurry silhouettes at a distance of one meter. The door of the compartment is equipped with a password lock. After selecting the project, the bracelet distributed to them will display a randomly generated password. Only after entering the password can the door be opened.

The manual said that the walls and security doors of the bathhouse were made of special materials developed by the company. Even if someone shot at the people in the room with a Gatling gun, they would not be able to penetrate the bulletproof coating.

No wonder some people like to plot in places like this.

While Duan Mingyuan was still changing his clothes, he accidentally learned the identity of the "Haier Brothers".

They are officials from the diplomatic departments of North Korea and China, and this time they are accompanying Tianwaimin on a field investigation.

To put it in more understandable terms, it means traveling at public expense, with good food and drink and adequate service, so that the people outside the country will have a good impression of the DPRK.

The official term is investment promotion.

Over the years, a lot of foreign businesses were brought into the DPRK by them, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also in its heyday in the DPRK and became an entity that various forces were trying to win over.

However, Duan Mingyuan was not familiar with the officials, so he couldn't ask them in detail why the two of them were sneaking into the family area instead of going to the big bathhouse to accompany the foreigners to experience life.

About five minutes later, September, who had finished tidying up her clothes, came into the house.

This is where fox demons are more troublesome than human girls. Playing in the water is fun for a while, but after the fun is over, the fur on their tails will stick together, which is not only unsightly, but also very uncomfortable.

Jiu Yue held a duck swimming ring and jumped into the pool excitedly like a child visiting the swimming pool for the first time. Unfortunately, the bathing area was much smaller than the swimming pool and the depth was shallow, so she couldn't move freely.

In the blink of an eye, Jiu Yue, holding the duck swimming ring with both hands, swam in front of her and asked in confusion, "Where are the fish? Aren't there fish in the bathing area to absorb our negative energy?"

"You scared them all away."

"Oh, then I won't swim."

September swam over and leaned against the pool, following suit. Before long, she felt the surge from under the water, but when she looked down, she could not see any fish.

"These are elemental creatures discovered by the exploration team of the Universal Company on the Deep Sea Star. After they were transported to this planet, people began to call them fish."

To the left of Duan Mingyuan is a holographic projection. While enjoying the fish spring bath, one can also learn some new knowledge. "This is the first fish spring bath on the planet. It has now become one of the most famous tourist attractions in the court. Every year, foreigners come here to visit."

The reason for the additional names is simple - the names chosen by the company's people are simply not something that normal people can remember. In order to facilitate diplomacy, company executives who often go on visits will choose a common and easy-to-understand pseudonym based on the local culture.

"Huh? Didn't you say that this elemental creature was discovered by the company? Why did they come here specifically to experience the fish spring bath?"

“Because only people here use them as fish.”

The exploration team that initially discovered this type of elemental creatures brought them back to the flagship for research on weapons energy, and then came to the conclusion that these elemental creatures had no research value.

There are a large number of elemental creatures in the deep sea star, but they are extremely weak individuals and are common visitors to the novice village at the level of slimes.

In today's interstellar war environment, it is difficult to send a team of slimes into the battlefield.

In addition, given the fact that this type of elemental organism can only survive in water, it is understandable that the company has assessed it to have no research value.

"The first person to discover the value of this kind of elemental creatures was the Third Prince. During a visit, a company representative gave him a can of elemental creatures. A maid in the palace accidentally knocked over the can, allowing the elemental creatures to run into the royal bath, which allowed the Third Prince to discover the characteristics of this kind of creatures."

The fun of the holographic projection did not explain in detail how the maid managed to put the alien creature into the prince's bathroom, so it's hard to think about this question in detail.

"In short, you only need to know that the Third Prince is also known as the father of modern fish spring baths. The first fish spring bath in the universe was funded and built by him."

This title is much more valuable than Mr. Lu San’s title of “Founder of Modern Life Energy”.

September lowered her head and scooped up a handful of warm water with both hands. The water jumped lightly in her palms for a few times and then dived back into the pool.

Elemental creatures have no fixed form, but September can feel that they are very happy.

She was as happy as if she were facing a table full of chicken.

"The theory is that they're eating right now, and they're taking the energy that's being released into the water and feeding on it."

In this regard, absorbing negative energy is not completely false marketing.

While waiting for September, Duan Mingyuan read through all the interesting stories in the holographic projection database. Combining his knowledge of deep-sea stars, he came to a terrifying guess.

The maid who “accidentally” dumped the alien creature into the Third Prince’s bath probably intended to kill him.

He felt that it was all because of September playing the BGM from Conan, which caused him to look at things in a negative and dark way.

The holographic projection portrayed these elemental creatures as harmless little creatures like slime, capable of coexisting harmoniously with humans. But if he remembered correctly, "Deep Sea Star" was rated as one of the most dangerous planets by a scientific magazine he read when he was a child. The magazine said that the entire Deep Sea Star was an ocean, and no one knew what was hidden in the depths of the ocean.

All exploration teams that attempted to explore this secret died, leaving this question an eternal mystery.

This may also be the reason why Universal Company once spent huge amounts of manpower and resources to study slime.

So he seriously suspected that the maid had read a certain issue of a scientific magazine and planned to use the elemental creatures from the most dangerous planet to murder the third prince.

Duan Mingyuan also lowered his head and scooped up a handful of warm water.

Which side is telling the truth?

Are these "slimes" really harmless?

But this time, these little elemental creatures did not rush to break free from his hand and return to the pool. Instead, they gathered together, raised their heads, and looked at him.

Then, it grew eyes and a mouth.

There is also a row of shark-like sharp teeth inside the transparent outer wall.
