MTL - It’s Obviously a Life Skill, But You Developed It Into a Magical Skill

Chapter 23 Suspicious corpse

 During this period of time, apart from dealing with the Beast Cult, they have not relaxed their efforts to investigate the mysterious master.

 But no matter how much I checked, I found nothing.

 They were all investigated by outsiders who came in and out of Anding County.

Now this member suddenly said this, Zhang Si County seemed to have caught inspiration.

yes!

We only investigated people outside, but we have never investigated people inside Anding County.

  Could it be that there is a mysterious master hidden in Anding County?

There is a fire on the stove to boil some water before cooking.

 After the piece of firewood in his hand was carved, Zhou An picked it up and observed it carefully.

 This expert loves fishing very much!

 As long as there is water, he has to throw two poles.

 He was like an old man taking a walk after a meal, walking slowly to the kitchen with his hands behind his back.

 He gave another warning.

 So it is not ruled out that some masters like to live in seclusion and stay in a small place like Anding County.

 【Boiled Pot lv.2 (Strength +1): 3580/20000】

Zhou An stood up and came to the door to look around. He planned to ask others.

 This thing has to be considered.

But he didn't think much about it. Maybe Lao Liu just went to the toilet.

"yes!"

Hearing this, Zhou An knew that Chef Liu didn’t want to talk anymore.

 Zhou An stood up, patted his belly, and prepared to fish in the room.

Zhou An nodded, took out another piece of wood, and prepared to continue carving.

But before he walked out of the kitchen, he heard rapid footsteps.

"Probably not. If I really asked for leave, who lit the fire under the stove?"

“I just stir-fry a few vegetables, there’s still time.” Chef Liu took a ladle of water to wash his hands and came to the stove: “The vegetables are all cut, just put them in the pot.”

 Members in charge took orders one after another.

He is now thinking about practicing the Chef Ding Jie Niu Knife Technique to the fourth level, and then the Pan Guo Skill to the third level, so that his strength can be greatly improved.

 But when he came to the door, he didn't see Chef Liu, and it was empty inside.

 After carving this piece of firewood, my proficiency has increased by about a hundred points.

After this period of time, he also figured out Lao Liu's rules.

 “Check, check from the inside!”

Zhou An likes this feeling of concentration.

 Zhang Si County then waved his hand and asked everyone to go about their own business.

 He put the firewood aside, and then realized that he was still alone in the kitchen.

 Sitting in front of a stall, Zhou An ordered a bowl of noodles. After eating happily and paying, Zhou An came to the Yamen.

These days, most of the powerful people have some little quirks. Is there anyone who likes to live in seclusion?

“It’s slower than last time. It seems like this thing will continue to explode.” Zhou An thought.

Zhou An looked outside, as if it was almost midnight again.

 After all, this kind of investigation is very easy to offend people, and no one wants to be investigated.

Chef Liu stepped into the kitchen and said, "Isn't this a coincidence? Just as I lit the fire, something suddenly happened to my relative, so I hurried out to deal with it for him."

 After the text in front of him disappeared, he stretched.

 Zhou An felt that practicing carving this time was a little more relaxed than last time. In terms of technique, he also needs to be much more skilled.

But before he could walk out of the dining hall, he saw a policeman running into the Yamen in a hurry.

 “Why isn’t Lao Liu here?” Zhou An was confused.

Zhou An came to the stove and cut all the morning vegetables. Then he found a piece of firewood and continued carving with a long knife.

  Throughout the morning, Lao Liu would never be lazy. He would cook seriously and never leave.

Zhou An exclaimed: "Is it still too late?"

These things did not come for free, they were carved out by me one by one.

He didn't care about this. He just said what he wanted to say. If he didn't say anything, forget about it. He continued to eat the food with his head down.

“We must investigate carefully, but we must also be careful not to spread hostility. We are here with a cooperative attitude this time.”

 Cook Liu lit the fire and began to cook attentively.

Zhou An turned around and found that Chef Liu was hurriedly coming from outside.

Chef Liu looked anxious, walked quickly, and there was sweat on his forehead, but he didn't even bother to wipe it off.

 Zhang Sixian remembered a master he had met before.

 Zhou An knew that this was due to the increase in proficiency.

Chef Liu shook his head: "It's just a little family matter. A policeman shouldn't worry about it."

 To be proficient, you have to grasp both ends and not relax at either end.

When the policeman saw that it was Zhou An, he responded smoothly: "We found a body that was not a local's. The body was covered with dense stab wounds."

 【Pao Ding's knife skills lv.3 (speed +2, accuracy +1): 1658/40000】

 【Pao Ding's knife skills lv.3 (speed +2, accuracy +1): 1385/40000】

 Even to the point of obsession.

That master was very powerful, but he only had one hobby that made him feel weird.

 When you eat, you always have to talk about something, and it doesn’t feel right to just eat.

 When you really concentrate on doing something, time will flow very quickly.

This time the wood chips are gone, and although there are still cracks, they are not as numerous or as big as last time.

Time passed gradually, and the night passed in the blink of an eye.

 “What happened?” Zhou An asked casually.

 After Zhou An nodded, he was ready to help in the kitchen.

 …

 The next day.

 Fish!

 After everyone left, he stayed alone in the room and continued to think about how to deal with the Beast Cult.

If it wasn't his duty, he would need to know the origins of various masters, and he really didn't want to check it out.

 There will be a reward if you work hard, and you will get a harvest if you work hard.

 After washing up, I left the room and came to a street.

But these all take time to develop.

 The two of them chatted for a while and finished eating quickly.

 But now he suddenly disappeared, Zhou An felt a little strange.

 Zhou An got up early and smiled as he looked at the proficiency in front of him.

“That’s not right, could it be that he took a leave of absence?” Zhou An frowned.

 Cook Liu is not here, I don’t know what he is doing.

Last time it was not only covered with sawdust, but also had so many cracks that he couldn't even see.

 “Old Liu, what are you doing here?” Zhou An asked.

 It’s time for dinner, eat first and then talk.

 It’s almost time for dinner.

“Old Liu, something happened to your relative, can you tell me?” Zhou An said casually.

 It’s still the same little green vegetable, but the carving this time is much better than the last time.

  Anyway, he has nothing to do now.

While Chef Liu was cooking, Zhou An carved several more wood carvings, and his proficiency increased by several hundred points.

This policeman should be patrolling the streets today. Something must have happened.

 The two of them brought the prepared dishes to the canteen together, found a seat, and ate first.

 Zhangsi County made up its mind.

 The yamen today is as peaceful as usual.

 “Oh, corpse…”

Zhou An said something subconsciously, and then realized something was wrong.
