Chapter 261: That person seems to be able to transform
Fu Mo scratched his head: "Yes."
"My martial arts skills haven't recovered yet, so for tracking, I'll ask Brother Tianjia for help."
"Brother Tianjia's Qinggong is very powerful, but he has tracked us down several times and has failed every time."
"The lanterns were scattered and the street was huge, so he was elusive. We only tracked him four times, and after that, we couldn't find him anymore."
Fu Mo felt a little ashamed when he said this.
He did get one thousand taels of silver, but again, he failed to complete the task.
"How about we ask the ten lottery winners? They've been in contact with the mysterious man, so maybe we can get something out of him."
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot..."
Fu Mo said seriously, "At first, that person didn't know I was tracking him. He acted rather casually, so I just observed him for a while. I felt that he was a little strange."
Xie Yingmian: "How is it strange?"
Fu Mo: "How should I put it? I feel like he can change, that is, he can transform."
"When I first met him, I heard his voice was female, he was thin and short, and he looked like a female too."
"The second time I ran into him, we were quite far away and I didn't hear any sound, but he was much taller. He looked like a young man of medium build."
"When I met him for the third time, I still didn't hear any sound. He was hunched and thin, with gray hair, like an old man in his twilight years."
"The fourth time I met him, I heard a deep, masculine voice. He was tall and strong. I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could tell he had a beard, like a pig butcher."
"Anyway, I don't know if he has countless accomplices or if he changes his appearance anytime, anywhere. Anyway, the four times I saw him, each one was different. It was very strange."
Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye looked at each other.
Xie Yingmian caught the loophole in Fu Mo's words and asked, "Since he is a completely different person, why do you think he is the one you are tracking?"
Fu Mo: "He wore the same cloak."
"Not only did he wear the same cloak, but I was able to confirm this by talking to someone and that person got the correct lantern."
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
"Where's the organizer?"
"After you won the award, did he question you about anything?"
Fu Mo shook his head. "There was nothing unusual about the organizer. Because the ten thousand taels couldn't be split, they specifically raised the prize pool to one thousand taels per person. I took the silver note and came back. No one came to see me, and no one asked me anything."
After Fu Mo left.
Xie Yingmian asked Yu Lingye: "What do you think?"
Yu Lingye said: "There is no point in guessing. We will know the answer when Qing Huang comes back."
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows: "Did you ask Qing Huang to track him as well?"
Yu Lingye said nonchalantly, "He's just sitting around doing nothing anyway."
Instead of going to the Huohuo Food Street, it is better to do something serious.
Qing Huang came back soon.
Just like last time, he appeared out of nowhere on the fourth floor.
When he appeared, Manager Yuan happened to come over to deliver food.
When he saw Qing Huang appear, he almost threw away the ten-layer food box in his hand.
"Ghost, there's a ghost..."
Qing Huang was helpless: "Can't you change your line?"
"It's always so spooky that I think it's really haunted."
Shopkeeper Yuan was still in shock.
Hearing this, I immediately became unhappy.
"How dare you say that to me? Otherwise, you appear and disappear like a ghost all the time. How could I be so startled?"
"You know that scaring people can kill them, right? Also, how on earth do you manage to appear and disappear so suddenly?"
Qing Huang ignored it.
He looked at the food box in the shopkeeper's hand and said, "Please give me ten more servings of this size."
"No, that's not right. Twenty servings. We have guests arriving soon."
Shopkeeper Yuan was stunned: "Twenty copies?"
There are ten layers of food box, and each layer has one or two dishes, which adds up to more than a dozen dishes. Twenty servings would mean hundreds of dishes. How much can you feed the pigs?
"Please hurry up." Qing Huang said, "The guests will be here soon."
Shopkeeper Yuan: "Impossible."
"Besides, who are you? Why should I listen to you?"
"This meal was specially ordered from Jixiang Restaurant for the prince by our teahouse. There is only one portion..."
"Shopkeeper Yuan," Yu Lingye's voice came, "ask Jixianglou to prepare twenty servings. No one should refuse any dish. Send it over as soon as possible."
Manager Yuan's words were stuck in his throat.
He opened his mouth.
Do you really want twenty copies?
Manager Yuan obeyed Yu Lingye's words and started preparing immediately.
Qing Huang flashed into the house.
Xie Yingmian was also startled.
"Where did you come from? Do androids have the ability to teleport?"
Qing Huang smiled and said, "It's a secret."
He said to Yu Lingye, "I have completed what you asked me to do."
"It's time for you to fulfill your promise."
Yu Lingye gave Qing Huang a token: "Any business with the same symbol as the one on the token is under my name. You can come in and eat as you please, and the bill will be in my name."
Qing Huang was satisfied.
He found a place to sit down: "I have investigated the identity of that person."
"To be exact, I have already met her."
Xie Yingmian: "Who?"
Yu Lingye replied, "The person Fu Mo is pursuing."
"There are many lanterns on the street and many alleys. Fu Mo and Tian Jia couldn't track them all, so I asked Qing Huang for help."
Qing Huang said to Xie Yingmian, "Why don't you guess who she is?"
Xie Yingmian originally didn't have any idea, but Qing Huang's familiar look actually told her the answer.
"Qingxiao?"
Qing Huang was stunned for a moment: "How did you guess that?"
Xie Yingmian smiled.
Tianjia's lightness skills were superb, but he couldn't catch up with that person.
That person can switch between different identities and genders in a short period of time.
That person also knows the correct answer.
Considering Qing Huang's tone and actions, it was not difficult for her to come to this conclusion.
After listening to Xie Yingmian's analysis, Qing Huang smiled and said, "Impressive."
"Yes, the one who urged the ten people to find the correct lantern was Qing Xiao."
Xie Yingmian was very curious: "The organizer used this bizarre fishing theme to catch Qing Xiao?"
Qing Huang shook his head: "It's more complicated to explain."
"Why not let Qingxiao speak?"
Qing Huang clapped his hands.
Qingxiao was more polite than Qinghuang. Although she also appeared out of nowhere, she knocked on the door.
Qing Xiao smiled at Xie Yingmian: "Princess, we meet again."
Xie Yingmian saw a familiar face, it was undoubtedly Qingxiao, the maid with superb acting skills.
"It's you." Xie Yingmian sighed.
How could she be so blind that she didn't realize Qingxiao was a bionic man?
Qing Xiao got straight to the point and said, "Let me just state the conclusion."
"The organizer..."
When she said this, she glanced at Yu Lingye and asked, "There's an old antique here. Can you say things that sound absurd to others?"
Old antique Yu Lingye: ...
Xie Yingmian said, "He knows everything he needs to know."
Qing Xiao was very surprised: "How strange that he didn't treat you as monsters like the pedantic old stubborn people of this era?
