Chapter 59 Windfall (1/2)
Standing beside Jiang Ba was a long-haired, skinny, middle-aged man, wearing a Fusang samurai suit and carrying a samurai sword.
His long, yellow hair covered the right side of his face; the whites of his eyes were abnormally bloodshot and the left side of his face was covered with weird tattoos. It made him look very strange.
He was fiddling with a gold necklace on which hung a black crystal pendant. Strangely enough, even though his hand did not seem to be moving, the black crystal pendant kept spinning clockwise without any signs of stopping.
Teacher Xu hesitated for a while and finally decided not to open the door.
Nothing good would come out of it!
Jiang Ba looked at Huang Quanlu. Huang Quanlu took a step forward, pounded loudly on the door and said rudely, ”Old fool, open the door! We are here to carry out some investigations.”
Teacher Xu answered in a trembling voice ”The truth is that evil will be rewarded with evil, and blood will have blood! What else do you need to investigate?”
Jiang Ba said, ”Old fool, I suspect you are the murderer. What kind of ghosts gives dreams? What you read about is what you dream of! Are you paranoid? Just because you have a dream, you think we're your daughter's murderers. Just because of a dream, you kidnapped Brother Chen, tortured him and then killed him.”
Teacher Xu smiled ruefully, grabbed his hair with his hands and chokingly said, ”To be honest, I wish I have the ability to avenge my daughter with my own hands. But I'm just a powerless, useless scholar.”
Long Xi sympathized with teacher Xu, so naturally, she spoke up for him. ”The deceased was so fat, much bigger than teacher Xu and younger and stronger than him. I heard that he even has bodyguards provided by his family. How was teacher Xu able to kidnap him? Jiang Ba, please don't label teacher Xu as a murderer just because of your own incompetent reasoning!”
Jiang Ba was embarrassed and became angry. He pointed to the middle-aged man with long hair and said, ”I don't want to cooperate with you! This is my able assistant. He is the consultant my father invited from Fusang, the world's most famous Yin and Yang master, the renowned Mr. Yamamoto. And I have so many followers! What about you guys? Hum, just waiting to die!”
After that, he motioned to Huang Quanlu. Huang Quanlu stepped back, ran up and kicked open the wooden door with double swift kicks.
Jiang Ba stormed in with a group of people.
Long Xi bravely stepped forward and stopped them.
Teacher Xu took the opportunity to run to the room and locked it from the inside.
Yamamoto entered the house and walked around the room with the necklace, staring at the pendant which looked like a black crystal.
Yamamoto walked around the room and saw that the pendant was always turning clockwise. He then told Jiang Ba in old style Chinese, ”There are no ghosts!”
Long Xi noticed that since Yamamoto came in, Mo Kun's eyes had been staring at the pendant which looked like a piece of black crystal. She thought, ”Is that black crystal so alluring? It is taking up Lord Mo Kun's total attention, oh dear, is it as captivating as I am?”
She did not know that Lord Mo Kun was really happy.
What was in Lord Mo Kun's mind was, ”Great! There's a saying from Earth that goes like this 'Wearing out iron shoes and doing nothing is a waste of effort'. I drove the invisible mech around looking for this Black Magic Stone everywhere, but I couldn't find it. Now, this Fusang man has just brought it to me!”
The shape of the Black Magic Stone was similar to that of the black crystal from Earth. One of its features was that it was extremely sensitive to magnetic fields, which was why it was always rotating in a clockwise direction. Once it sensed a great change in the magnetic field in its environment, it would rotate in an anti- clockwise direction.
Jiang Ba listened to Yamamoto's words and shouted, ”Nothing, that's good! Xu Yuanshan you old fool, you really are a liar. Mr. Yamamoto says there are no ghosts at all. We have just been to Xu Xian'er's dormitory and classroom. There are no ghosts there either. What kind of ghosts go about killing people? Old fool, if the murderer isn't you, you're out of your mind! Come on, just do it!”
