Chapter 64 The Competition Between Foodies
Afterward, Lord Mo Kun brought Yan Wangchuan’s body home, so did Fan Xiaolu.
Two days later, Mo Kun exchanged Fan’s and Yan’s consciousness in the same way.
Since in Planet BT, Mo Kun had been studying on exchange consciousness, but previous experiments were limited to mammals such as wolves and tigers.
This was his first time to do this experiment with humans.
It was quite successful!
Then, Mo Kun received a message from Yan Wangchuan asking for another life interchanging.
“How can Yan Wangchuan secretly become strong to pursue Long Xi? I certainly wouldn’t let this happen.”
This time, Mo Kun altered Fan Xiaolu’s consciousness to Yan Wangchuan and Yan Wangchuan’s to a poodle of Fan Xiaolu, and the poodle’s to Fan Xiaolu.
At the moment, looking at the “experiments” in front of him, Mo Kun was quite satisfied with this result. A slow, sly smile was creeping around the corners of his mouth.
Mo Kun’s sight made Fan Xiaolu felt somewhat strange, he rubbed his cheek. “Is there anything dirty on my face?” Fan considered.
Even if Long Xi found the atmosphere sinister, but of course, she could not read Mo Kun’s sincere desire. Long Xi had only to blame her too young and Lord Mo Kun too calculating.
Long Xi supposed the best way to release such conditions now was to divert everyone’s attention to food. Therefore she asked, “Brother Kun, what would you like to eat?”
Having seen a small plate of red shrimp placed in front of Long Xi, as well as another dish of Stir Fried Fermented Beancurd Water Spinach and 200 grams rice, Mo Kun then asked, “What kind of shrimp is this?”
Long Xi replied, “I really love hot dishes. Thus I ordered a plate of spicy crayfish. Can you eat spicy food?”
Xiaolu uttered, “I can also eat spicy foods. I ordered a big bowl of pork won ton and a dish of Sliced Beef in Chili Oil, dare to try?”
Mo Kun replied, “I never eat that, I’d like to try.”
Long Xi persuaded Mo Kun to have spicy crayfish, soup with sweet potato leaves, and Cantonese style porridge.
With bright color and ruddy, the spicy crayfish made Mo Kun a ferocious appetite.
Mo Kun imitated Long Xi to peel off the shrimp shell and took a bite of crayfish meat. The hot spicy burned his tongue that tears started in his eyes.
However, the spicy taste blended with umami perception was done to a turn which impressed the tongue by a unique flavor.
Mo Kun felt as though a fire was burning in his throat and esophagus, but the limbs were surprisingly free and pleasant.
Soon Mo Kun took a second bite of shrimp with great relish.
It seemed that Lord Mo Kun had felled in love with spicy crayfish in his first trial.
Long Xi was a little amazed to say, “I don’t expect you to eat hot foods, Lord Mo Kun.”
Lord Mo Kun smiled to Long Xi and said, “Sure enough, this dish is quite palatable.”
Xiaolu stopped eating Kung Pao chicken and seized the chance to challenge Mo Kun by questioning, ” Dare you to try Chongqing hot pot with me? Let’s see who can eat more spicy food!”
Mo Kun replied while laughing, “Well! Who is afraid! You name the place, I schedule the time. Let’s complete until we find out the truth about this school murder. Long Xi, you judge.”
Long Xi was so stunned by the sudden name that she was choked by the crayfish meat. She unconvincedly glared Mo Kun and asked, “What’s the matter with me?”
Mo Kun said, “Of course it’s your business, you started this competition!”
Unexpectedly Xiaolu echoed with a smile, “Right, right, it’s most appropriate for you to be the referee. We believe you are fair, justice, and open.”
Mo Kun gave him five with Xiaolu and replied smilingly, “That’s a deal!”
Long Xi held her head, uttering, “No wonder you are foodie, even the competition! All right, I act judge!”
Mo Kun asked Long while dining, “Xixi, is there anything I can do for your investigation?”
Long Xi responded, “Not now, I don’t know the reason why Chen Qiangjian died. There is a long way to go. Brother Kun, would you please to fetch some meat to Kunkun? I’m afraid that he runs out of foods.”
Mo Kun said with a smile, “I’ve already taken ten catty of pork to him. Actually, he feels a little disappointed, maybe he wants to see you.”
Long Xi giggled and said, “You could read his dispirited? I’d see him as long as I finish this task.”
Fan Xiaolu interrupted them by asking, “Who is Kunkun?”
Long Xi secretly batted her eyes at Fan Xiaolu, whispering, “I’d lead you to see him later.”
Mo Kun swallowed a piece of crayfish and muttered unsatisfyingly, “Xixi, you can’t take him there. That’s our secret.”
Long Xi touched her own arm and questioned Mo Kun, “Why you always call me ‘Xixi’, I had goose pimples all over.”
Mo Kun said, “Yan Wangchuan can call you Xiaolongnv, Fan Xiaolu calls you Master Xi, why can’t I have a special nickname of you? Moreover, that’s what your grandmother calls you!”
In this regard, Long Xi resignedly said, “All right, just suit yourself. You are my benefactor! How can I oppose it?”
Xiaolu complained, “When did you get so familiar?”
Mo Kun smiled ambiguously and said to him, “Challenge me if you are not convinced!”
Xiaolu provoked by saying, “So what? Dare you now battle with me?”
Mo Kun said, “You mean dance battle? I’m not afraid, but I have no time now. Xixi, I intend to make a pair of robot feet for Kunkun.”
Long Xi refreshed and asked, “Robot feet? You mean that after being fitted with them, he can run freely?”
“Of course. Besides, they are metal. Kunkun is not easy to bite off them. I assure after installing the feet, he will become the king of the snow leopard! Don’t forget, I’m a scientist, that’s my field, my forte,” Mo Kun said confidently.
Long Xi said, “That’s great.”
“Actually, I’ve already made a drawing of the robot feet.” “But I need some titanium alloy materials. I’m an outlander and not familiar with the city. Xixi, when you solve this case, may you take me to buy materials?” Mo Kun asked.
“OK, It’s my pressure. I know where to buy the materials. I’ll help you.” Long Xi said.
“Me too, I know every place in this city,” Xiaolu said hastily.
“Of course I don’t want them run around. I will be the fifth wheel anyway. It’s not easy to get rid of me!” Xiaolu pondered.
Mo Kun didn’t refuse Xiaolu’s request. Just laughed it off.
Mo Kun thought, “Silly boy, it’s not a gentleman’s behavior to refuse you now. I’ll leave you no time to follow us.”
After the meal, they waited for Fu Xinjie in the entry of the restaurant.
Fu Xinjie soon came.
They came to a secluded place. Long Xi gave a detailed account of Mr. Xu’s condition.
Long Xi asked Fu Xinjie, “Did you find out where the last place the deceased appeared?”
