Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly - Chapter 187: Kanon's Strategy (2)

“Can you speak a bit softly? You’re scaring me with the way you talk.”

“Oh… I see.”

“How did you steal the ore?”

“Steal ore? How did you know I stole ore?”

“Are you drunk?” Kanon laughed, “Didn’t you just tell me that?”

Tie Zhu, confused, admitted and asked with a smile, “So, you want to join me in this?”

“Yes, can you tell me how?”

“Of course.” Tie Zhu whispered into Kanon’s ear, “You just need to swallow the ore, then spit it out when you get home. I’ve specially trained in this skill and am now very proficient. If you accidentally can’t spit it out, it’s okay, just look for it in the toilet the next morning, hehehe…”

Hearing this, Kanon couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“You must be drunk. How can you swallow that stuff?”

“Well! What does it matter? As long as you don’t eat too much at once, you won’t get poisoned. After all, this stuff is used to make…”

Tie Zhu fell asleep mid-sentence, snoring on the chair.

Kanon slapped him twice hard, but he slept like a dead pig, feeling nothing.

“Coward…”

Kanon looked around, took the house key from Tie Zhu’s embrace, and left the restaurant without looking back.

After a while, the restaurant finally realized Tie Zhu had passed out.

The owner, a second-class citizen, disdained speaking to Tie Zhu and had to call his subordinates to wake him up.

“Sir, sir?”

Tie Zhu, snoring, ignored the waiter.

The owner shook his head and said, “Just let him pay, he already left his ID to me.”

“Okay…”

The waiter, grabbing Tie Zhu’s wrist to settle the bill, found out Tie Zhu had racked up a sentence of twenty thousand years for this meal alone. But adding these years would push Tie Zhu’s sentence over ten million.

“Boss, this customer’s sentence isn’t enough.”

“Damn, are you new here? Get lost.”

The boss came over, put on gloves, and personally added twenty thousand years to Tie Zhu’s sentence.

Less than five minutes later, police robots came into the store, put Tie Zhu in a bag, and dragged him out of the door. Since Tie Zhu was drunk, he didn’t even have a chance to cry for help and was choked to death by his own vomit.

By the time he reached the prison, he was already a corpse.

Meanwhile, the main culprit, Kanon, had arrived at Tie Zhu’s rented house.

She pushed the door open, searched around, and finally found a wooden box under the bed.

The box contained bits and pieces of ore, emitting a pungent smell. Thinking that these were spat or excreted by Tie Zhu, Kanon couldn’t help but frown.

“Going through so much trouble to smuggle out all these ores, only to sell them for ten years off your sentence? I don’t know whether to praise you for your talent or for being too naive.”

Kanon shook her head, somewhat frustrated.

In her view, Tie Zhu took a huge risk because being caught would mean at least ten thousand years added to his sentence, which would take at least two to three years of non-stop mining to earn back.

If it were her making the trade, she would demand at least ten thousand years off or a greater benefit.

Robots have detection capabilities, but the ore in the box wasn’t discovered by the robots, indicating the box has the ability to block detectors. Therefore, Kanon simply took the box and left the room.

Kanon, holding the box, thought for a moment and then secretly buried it under a big tree in a back alley of the dark street. She didn’t rush to trade with Er Gou but rested against the tree for a while.

Tap Tap Tap

The sound of footsteps woke Kanon. She rubbed her eyes and saw a group of police robots heading towards the dark street. Kanon hid under the tree, not daring to make a sound until she was sure the robots weren’t coming for her, and then she stood up.

Kanon went into a roadside shop and checked the clock on the wall.

It was 10 PM, exactly the time Er Gou and Tie Zhu had agreed to trade. Could the robots be here to ambush Er Gou?

Kanon patted her chest in relief, thankful she had overslept due to exhaustion during the day, otherwise she would have been caught with Er Gou.

Ten minutes passed.

One by one, the robots left the dark street, but Kanon didn’t see Er Gou.

Had the person supposed to trade with him not showing up, so Er Gou didn’t appear?

Kanon nodded, thinking her guess was correct.

After all the robots dispersed, Kanon went to the dark street, searching for Er Gou, and finally found him in front of a shack.

“Hello, I’ve come to see you again.”

“Go away, I’m annoyed just seeing you.”

“I have something you want…”

Kanon took out the box and was just about to open it, but Er Gou quickly closed it.

“Where did you get this?”

“Do you want it?”

“Not now.” Er Gou shook his head, “Meet me at 10 PM tomorrow, where we first met.”

Kanon thought for a moment and then placed the box into Er Gou’s hands.

Er Gou was startled.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m giving it to you.”

“For me?”

Er Gou looked at Kanon strangely, “What do you want in return?”

“I don’t want anything.”

Kanon shoved the box into Er Gou’s hands and left without looking back.

Er Gou, holding the box, quickly followed, “Hey, I can’t accept this. Come find me tomorrow, and I can give you a good price, but you can’t just give it to me for free.”

“Chasing a girl in the middle of the night, what does that make you?” Kanon laughed, “I said it’s for you, so it’s for you. I found this thing, and it’s of no use to me. But I heard you wanted it, so I gave it to you.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t overthink it, okay, honey?”

Kanon winked at Er Gou and left the dark street.

Er Gou, holding the box in his hands, felt like he was holding a hot potato.

…

“What does Kanon mean?”

“Why give it to Er Gou without asking for anything in return?”

“Could it be she’s trying to play hard to get?”

The discussion on the bullet screen was non-stop, and no one knew why Kanon gave away the ore for free.

On the other side.

Gu Yi had already caught up with Er Gou in the red-light district, and the two were now chatting in the casino. Whereas Dennis neither went to the dark street nor found Er Gou in the casino, and was just playing poker in the casino for a while.

Compared to Gu Yi and Kanon, although Dennis earned the most sentence reductions, he performed the worst in exploring the plot characters.

Everyone didn’t know why Gu Yi could catch Er Gou in the red-light district, nor did they understand why Kanon gave away the ore for free.

In the strategy group, Xi Wang was sitting with her legs crossed, yawning out of boredom.

The teammates looked at Xi Wang, curiously saying, “Captain, you’re a woman, you should understand what Kanon is thinking, right?”

“Why are you all looking at me? How would I know what a promiscuous woman is thinking aside from playing the field?”

“But there’s no helping it, she’s really cute.”

“Yeah, even though her face is a bit dirty right now, it makes her even more endearing.”

Xi Wang shook her head with a bitter smile, indeed these men were led by their desires, “You guys… would be swindled without even knowing. Do you think a socialite who can mix in the entertainment circle would be that simple?”
