Chapter 234: An Old Man with Low Quality

"Of course I can, and I'll give you lots of delicious food, but you have to answer a few questions first."

Lin Tingcong took out a bag of pork jerky from his pocket, opened it, and poured a few pieces of it to the cow. After all, he had snatched the mouse that the cow had caught with great effort, so naturally he had to give some food as compensation.

She took another piece and stuffed it into the little mouse's mouth.

The little mouse held the pork jerky with its front paws and began to eat it with a crunching sound.

The courier came forward curiously and looked at the mouse in Lin Ting's hand.

The courier could say nothing other than shock.

This little mouse was too obedient in Lin Ting's hands.

"What's the problem? As long as the rat knows something, he will tell it everything."

The little mouse was so intoxicated by the aroma of her pork jerky that he completely forgot to bargain for his life.

Fortunately, Lin Ting seems to keep his word.

"What's that bad smell you were talking about?"

"Is it the smell from the sewer? Or somewhere else?"

As soon as Lin Ting finished speaking, the courier who was watching the excitement on the side responded, "It's hot now, isn't it normal for the sewer to smell bad?"

Lin Ting shook his head and refuted the courier's words. "Under normal circumstances, it's normal to have a bad smell in hot weather, but Jiangcheng has been raining continuously recently, and most of the rainwater has been collected into the sewer. Even if there was any dirt, it has been washed away."

The courier nodded belatedly, "That's right."

The mouse didn't expect that Lin Ting was asking about this matter, and he stopped eating the pork jerky in his mouth.

"The rat and his friends often travel through the sewers. The stench doesn't come from the sewers, but from a nearby porcelain jar."

"The stench wasn't that strong at first, but as the weather warmed up over the past couple of days, it's gotten worse and worse, like the smell of a dead, rotting chicken."

"It smelled so bad that the rat and his friend took advantage of the humans' sleep at night to go look where the odor was coming from. They found it was coming from a huge porcelain jar covered with a large cloth. The rat tried to open it to see what was inside, but he couldn't get it open for a long time. He didn't know what was inside, but it smelled so bad that the rat decided to move away for a while and come back when the smell was gone."

The smell is the same as the rotting tissue of human beings and animal carcasses.

I don’t know if it’s because she has handled too many cases with Si Chen, or if it’s because she has encountered too many things like this, but after hearing what Lao Shu said, the bad premonition she had before came back again, and it was even stronger.

She stared at the little mouse in her palm and said, "Can you take me over to take a look? I can give you pork jerky as a reward."

'real? '

"You'll give me something delicious just for showing me the way?"

"Of course it's true. I'd lie to you, little dog." Lin Ting and the little mouse assured him again and again.

The little mouse happily jumped out from Lin Ting's palm and led the way.

The little mouse seemed to know that these narrow roads were inaccessible to humans, so it did not take the shorter path, but instead took Lin Ting through the alley.

Lin Ting had just taken two steps when the courier stopped her. The courier said in a confused tone, "Little girl, why don't you go and check? Maybe someone's pickled food went bad and they didn't throw it away."

"These are all old residential areas, mostly inhabited by elderly people. They like to grow vegetables right outside their homes. Many even use foam boxes to grow a lot of vegetables. When there are too many, they simply can't eat them all, so they have to pickle them. Sometimes, if they're not handled properly, the pickles will spoil and give off an unpleasant odor."

"Let's not waste time going over to check."

"Thank you for your advice, brother. I'll go and take a look. If it's really pickled vegetables, I'll feel more at ease. You can wait here." Lin Ting didn't tell the courier what he was thinking, mainly because he was afraid of scaring the courier.

The delivery guy couldn't understand what the mouse said and could only make judgments based on what she said.

She couldn't possibly tell the delivery guy that she suspected the contents contained fragments of the People's Organization.

If it is true, people will have nightmares, but if it is not true, it will cause unnecessary panic.

She simply wanted to go over and check it out. Whether it was true or not, it would ease her suspicions.

Seeing that Lin Ting insisted on going, the courier boy hesitated, then quickly followed with the courier bag.

Lin Ting had helped him so much, he would never want to leave the little girl alone.

He often delivered express in this area and knew that there were many elderly people living in this area and that the quality of these elderly people was relatively low. Lin Ting, a delicate and soft little girl, would inevitably be bullied by these elderly people.

It would be more reassuring if I went to have a look.

Lin Ting sent a message to Si Chen, asking them to wait a little longer so as not to worry Si Chen and the others.

In addition to the courier, the little cow followed.

The mouse led them through several alleys and finally reached their destination.

This is an old residential complex built thirty years ago. The buildings are old, and because most of the residents are elderly, it seems that there are a lot of debris piled up in front of almost every building. As they walked along, they even saw mountains of garbage in front of several houses.

I guess the old man picked up some waste cardboard boxes from nearby and was planning to sell them.

Looking up, I saw that even the security windows upstairs were hung with all kinds of things, and some people were even drying vegetables on their own security windows.

The whole alley seemed to be surrounded by vegetables. They used foam boxes to grow vegetables along the way, and stacked them neatly in a row, not worrying about others stealing the vegetables.

These old people are extremely powerful, and probably no one would be so blind as to choose to steal their vegetables.

Seeing this scene, it was exactly as the courier said.

Could it be that she was worrying too much?

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Ting still believed in his sixth sense more. If the judgment was wrong, it would be fine.

The little mouse stopped in front of a small yard.

'It's right inside.'

"The stench is coming from the big vat at the door."

As soon as he stood at the gate of the yard, a breeze blew, accompanied by an unpleasant smell that rushed into his nose. Lin Ting couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his nose.

In addition to the unpleasant sour smell, this stench was also mixed with a faint smell of blood. If the system had not enhanced her five senses, she would not have been able to smell it at all.

Perhaps only small animals can easily distinguish such a sensitive smell. Could it be that a little mouse would say it tastes like rotten chicken?

The courier following behind her couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose. "This smell is so bad, it goes straight to the top of my head. What on earth did they pickle? Why does it smell so bad? Spoiled vegetables shouldn't smell this bad. It's even worse than the smell of stinky mandarin fish."

"How can the neighbors of this family bear it, especially in the middle of summer, and the smell is getting worse and worse, and it can kill people with just a gust of air."
