Chapter Sixteen: Kelly Losetti
Half an hour later, half a pound of cinnabar was placed in an exquisite black box and placed on the table with golden lines carved on it, which was very elegant. The workmanship of this box alone was good.
The sales lady even wore black white silk gloves on both hands, showing her professionalism.
"Sir, this is your half pound of cinnabar."
Li Changqing opened the exquisite box and lay quietly inside half a pound of cinnabar. He asked, "Can I inspect the goods?"
"Of course."
There were all fake and inferior products in cinnabar in previous lives, not to mention such expensive prices in this world.
Many fake and inferior cinnabars are made of colored sand powder and glue, making them hard, and the content of cinnabar is almost no. The batch he bought before, because he had no experience, was mixed with fake goods, and many talismans that could have been successful were destroyed because of the adulterated cinnabars.
The sales lady professionally took out a piece of white paper, placed a little cinnabar on the white paper, and heated it under it with a lighter. The cinnabar on the paper gradually changed from dark red to black.
When she stopped heating, the color of these cinnabars changed from black to dark red, and there was no color left on the white paper, and it was clean and white.
It's true.
If it is a counterfeit product, it will change from the original dark red to black when heated, and it cannot be restored after leaving the flame, and the white paper will also be dyed light red.
When he poured the cinnabar on the white paper back into the box, the sales lady smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, the cinnabar in our store is of the best quality. You are welcome to continue to come to us for purchase next time."
Li Changqing also took out two stacks of coin coins, paid the money, and walked out of the store with the box.
Tang Xiaoyu's voice sounded from inside the fedora: "Li Changqing, why did you spend so much money to buy cinnabar? Just to draw those weird things?"
"That's called a talisman."
Li Changqing hummed a small song and was in a good mood. The amount of this batch was enough for him to spend a long time.
"Li Changqing?"
Suddenly, a voice sounded beside him, and he looked along the sound.
This is a man in a black suit, wearing a blue bow, combed with a shiny hair, a high nose bridge, blue eyes, and an extremely handsome appearance, similar to a European in his previous life.
From my memory, Li Changqing quickly remembered who this was.
Kelly Lossidi.
It is said that his ancestor was a noble baron from the Lamela Empire. His family sent him to Nanlin City, the Suzaku Federation to study. As a result, he was obsessed with becoming a detective. After studying abroad, he did not choose to go home to inherit the family business, but instead stayed in Nanlin City and became a detective.
They first worked in the same detective office, but after Li Changqing left that detective office and opened Changqing Detective Office himself, the two of them lost a lot of contact, but occasionally called to greet him.
"Ah, my god, you will meet you here." Kelly Losedi stepped forward happily and asked, "We haven't met for almost a year, right? Have you had a drink?"
"I have something to do."
Li Changqing said and refused. Kelly Lossidi was the friend of Li Changqing before. The two were familiar with each other. If the other party saw something, such as his strange behavior, it would be difficult to explain if he was different from Li Changqing before.
This Kelly Lossidi is different from his sisters, or even Tang Xiaoyu. He is a detective.
Detectives will discover many details that ordinary people do not notice.
"Let's go and have a drink with me. I haven't met you for too long."
Kelly Lossidi pulled him enthusiastically and headed to a tavern opened along the street.
This tavern is not big, about 60 square meters. There is a round bar in the middle of the store. Many guests sit around the bar, and the waiters in the bar are mixing various wines.
The business in the store is pretty good. There are many taverns similar to Suzaku Federation. Many people will sit down and have a drink with their friends when they are tired of walking.
He had been pulled in by this enthusiastic guy, so he could only sit down.
"Hello, two glasses of rose wine." Kelly Losedi raised his hand and took out the twenty dollar coins and put them on the bar.
The waiter smiled and took away the coin. Soon, two glasses of rose wine were placed in front of the two of them.
This cup is quite large, similar to the large cup of beer that I had in my previous life.
Although the name of Rose Wine is nice and elegant, it is one of the best spirits.
Recalling his previous memories, Li Changqing smiled and said, "Kelly, haven't you said before that no one does not drink such spirits?"
"My father also said that nobility cannot be a detective, don't I be a victim, too?" Kelly Losedi picked up the rose spirit and took a sip, closed his eyes, feeling the hotness of the spirit from the tip of his tongue and his throat: "This wine is much better than the wine stored in my underground wine cabinet."
"Is that true?" Li Changqing smiled, picked up the wine and took a sip. He was not interested in the wine, but it tasted much better than raw glutinous rice.
Kelly Lossidi is a chatterbox and has been chatting with Li Changqing and asking about his current situation.
Even when talking about the past, Kelly Lossidi's sigh alone happened to allow Li Changqing to collect a lot of information.
After the spirits were drunk, Kelly Lossidi's face turned a little rosy: "By the way, do you still remember that our previous teacher said that I had a fatal flaw and would never become a qualified detective. I just wanted to prove it to him, and sometimes the flaws can be useful."
In his mind, Li Changqing never recalled any shortcomings of his. Although he was a down-and-out nobleman, Kelly Losedi was also a nobleman. He was handsome, tall and big, young and rich, approachable, and did not act like a nobleman casually. He seemed to have no shortcomings.
"You won't forget that the teacher said, "I am a fatal flaw in being a detective, right?" Kelly Losedi stared at Li Changqing in shock.
Li Changqing coughed: "It seems like I remembered it."
Kelly Losedi said distressedly: "The detective must hide in the crowd and cannot be easily noticed, so that he can easily follow the clues. The teacher said that I am too handsome and too conspicuous in the crowd. Because of this shortcoming, he also said that I will never become a qualified detective. My friend, you know, because of this incident, I cried all night."
Li Changqing: “…”
He wanted to smash the guy's beer glass on the head and turned around and left.
But this guy is indeed very handsome.
Kelly Lossidi: "But I have been able to perfectly use my shortcomings to facilitate investigation."
Li Changqing asked curiously: "How to use it?"
Can handsome help investigate cases?
Kelly Losedi smiled mysteriously and pointed at a woman in the corner of the tavern.
The woman is very young and fashionable, wearing a white cheongsam, a light blue shawl, holding a wine glass in her hand, and looking out the window with a little melancholy eyes.
"This is a man." Kelly Losedi said mysteriously: "Do you believe it?"
"How to judge?"
Li Changqing looked at him and found that he was obviously a beauty, but he was just a little flat, but he couldn't say that he was a man, right?
Kelly Lossidi: "As the eldest son of the Lossidi family, an elegant and handsome nobleman, she didn't even stop at all when she looked at me, which is enough to show that she is definitely not a woman. When a normal woman sees me, her eyes will shine."
This narcissistic guy!
