Learn one small skill every day

These cards for children are sold in various small shops, costing one yuan and fifty cents a pack, with five cards in a pack.

The rules are simple: fan the cards. Use your palm to fan the cards from the front to the back. Whoever fans all the cards that both players have placed on the ground to flip over first gets all the cards.

But you absolutely cannot make money by simply winning cards like this.

The value of the card must be artificially created.

Sigh... I never thought I'd end up targeting elementary school students.

Just as Bai Miao was plotting how to squeeze money out of the elementary school students, he received some bad news on Monday when he went to school.

Lin Shanshan didn't come to school.

The specific reason is unknown, and Bai Miao had no way of finding out the answer by asking.

Go ask your homeroom teacher; she'll definitely think you're having a puppy love affair in no time.

Then inevitably comes a messy lecture, and the parents are called in, etc.

Perhaps Lin Shanshan is just sick today?

Bai Miao spent the day in speculation and doubt.

On Tuesday, Lin Shanshan still didn't come to school.

She was not there on Wednesday either.

Looking at the empty seat next to her, Lin Shanshan realized that all the books in her seat had been taken away without her noticing.

Bai Miao had to face a fact.

Lin Shanshan disappeared, or rather, went missing.

There was no announcement, and the homeroom teacher did not show any other emotion.

But rumors had already started circulating in the class.

Some say Lin Shanshan was abducted, others say she was hit by a car and died, and still others say her house caught fire.

In short, the more mysterious the story, the more it's passed down.

As Lin Shanshan's deskmate, Bai Miao naturally couldn't escape the questions from countless classmates.

“Bai An, you’re sitting with Lin Shanshan. Do you know what happened to her? My brother is in fourth grade, and he told me that Lin Shanshan was definitely abducted. It seems that some fourth and fifth graders have also been abducted recently.”

Bai Miao was speechless. In the past few months, nearly a dozen students from one school have been abducted, and the school and the police have not made any response at all?

They should station some police officers on duty at the entrance of the primary school.

If this continues, the school will practically become a pig farm for adult traffickers.

However, Bai Miao knew in his heart that Lin Shanshan's affairs were mostly related to her grandmother.

So Bai Miao mysteriously told the classmate who came to ask him, "I'm only telling you this, so don't spread it around."

Seeing that Bai Miao might actually have something to say, the classmate also came forward and lowered his voice: "I will definitely not spread rumors."

“Lin Shanshan told me that she saw her grandmother, but her grandmother died a long time ago.”

"Holy crap, it's really fake!"

His shout immediately attracted the attention of the whole class. Facing the curious and expectant gazes of the class, he pointed directly at Bai Miao and said, "Bai An knows the secret about Lin Shanshan!"

The class erupted in excitement as a group of elementary school students surrounded Bai Miao, bombarding him with questions. Bai Miao, with his hands supporting his chin, answered them one by one, feigning mystery.

It has to be said that these elementary school students are quite susceptible to this.

"So, based on my deduction, Lin Shanshan was most likely abducted by her grandmother! But there are still many details to be confirmed. Is there anyone willing to team up with me to investigate these mysterious events that have been happening at the school recently?"

No primary school student could say no to such supernatural, mysterious, and suspenseful events.

Especially when you have the right to investigate and enjoy being questioned by other students.

Given the popularity of the Detective Conan anime series in recent years, Bai Miao's proposal instantly piqued the interest of his classmates.

Immediately, several students volunteered to join Bai Miao's team.

Bai Miao did not agree directly, but instead asked, "Why should I choose you? You need to demonstrate your value and strength."

“For example, I know a lot about what happened before Lin Shanshan disappeared. She told me a lot, and I have these clues. I don’t want to share these clues casually. I only seek out teammates who are capable of finding new clues.”

At this point, Bai Miao held up three fingers: "You have three days. You can all look for your own clues. Meet outside Tianxing Garden at 10 a.m. on Saturday, three days from now."

Bai Miao successfully aroused the interest of the group of elementary school students, who went to ask any student they knew, regardless of grade, causing chaos throughout the school building.

Bai Miao did this to mitigate the risks; he needed to find out the reason for Lin Shanshan's disappearance.

However, if you investigate alone, it is easy for others to notice.

But if a large group of elementary school students investigate this matter, even if the other party discovers it, they will only find it amusing and think that these elementary school students are playing some kind of detective role-playing game again.

However, when Bai Miao was walking home from school on Thursday, he was approached by a group of students from the next class.

"You're Bai An from Class One?"

"What is wrong with me?"

Elementary school students believe in never losing face, and no matter the situation, they always try to be a little arrogant when they speak.

"We have something to ask you."

"You think I have to answer your questions?"

"We're also investigating the missing student's case. You said Lin Shanshan saw her grandmother, you're not making that up, are you?"

Bai Miao chuckled dismissively: "Believe it or not, I advise you not to investigate randomly. This matter is very complicated."

“I am Tan Xuelong from Class 3. My deskmate told me before he went missing that he had seen his grandmother.”

Bai Miao's eyes lit up; it seemed that releasing some information really did have its benefits.

Moreover, the disappearance of primary school students seems to be related to seeing deceased relatives.

Even if you tell adults about this, they'll just think it's childish talk and won't take it seriously.

Only elementary school students would be convinced that this is the truth.

If Bai Miao hadn't actually encountered the same thing himself, he probably would have thought Lin Shanshan was talking nonsense, or at least wouldn't have believed her from the beginning.

Did his grandmother give him candy?

Tan Xuelong nodded: "Yes! And he also brought some for me to eat."

"have you eaten?"

Tan Xuelong shook his head: "I didn't eat it."

Do you still have any candy on you?

"It's gone. I put it in my pocket, but I won't be able to find it after a while."

Bai Miao saw Tan Xuelong's expectant gaze: "Are you planning to cooperate with me to investigate this matter?"

“That’s right. You’re just like the rest of us; you’re a fellow victim. We have firsthand information, so we should help each other.”

Tan Xuelong spoke with great conviction, but Bai Miao felt that their group hadn't made any progress after all this time.

However, we can't expect much progress from elementary school students.

"I can't agree to your request right now. If you really want to cooperate with me, please organize your current information and meet at the entrance of Tianxing Garden at 10:00 AM on Saturday."

Tan Xuelong was somewhat annoyed by Bai Miao's attitude: "You're still putting on airs with me. You probably don't have more information than us, do you?"

"Not always."

Bai Miao took out the milk candy that his grandmother had given him, showed it to Tan Xuelong only once, and then put it back in his pocket.

"Holy crap! It's that candy! How did you get this candy! Didn't it disappear?"

Tan Xuelong exclaimed in surprise, making no attempt to hide his agitated state.

“I saw my grandma, and she gave me candy, but I kept it and didn’t eat it.”

As Bai Miao spoke, he walked past Tan Xuelong and his group without turning his head and said, "If you want to know more, then meet on Saturday and see if you are worth teaming up with."

"What we are doing is likely quite dangerous. If you are not fully aware of this, you should withdraw as soon as possible."

"I don't want any cowards in my team who will falter at crucial moments."

Tan Xuelong and his group were thrilled and eagerly awaited Saturday so they could get down to business.

As for quitting, what a joke! If you say you're quitting at a time like this, you'll be laughed at until graduation!

So on Saturday morning, people living near Tianxing Garden saw a large group of primary school students gathered at the gate, not knowing what they were doing.

Bai Miao sat at the top, listening to the reports from the past few days.

"No intelligence, but your dad works in a government department? Okay, sure."

"You know someone from the vocational school? Sure, that's fine!"

"You had a good relationship with the victim and even visited his home? Sure, that's fine!"

After a selection process, Bai Miao chose five teammates. The others who were not selected were naturally dissatisfied, but the selection criteria were set by Bai Miao, and they could do nothing about not being chosen.

So they decided to form their own team, hoping to find out the truth before Bai Miao could.

The elderly man who was listening in finally understood what the group of elementary school students were doing.

So they were playing a detective game.

Young is so good.

Chapter 235 Everyone Expresses Their Opinions

"Bai An, how do we investigate this matter?"

Tan Xuelong was successfully selected and became a member of Bai Miao's investigation team. Bai Miao also arranged for him to be a deputy captain, so that Tan Xuelong would work more loyally for Bai Miao.

"We need to investigate whether more students have encountered this situation."

"What's going on? Do you have any new intelligence?"

The boy Bai Miao chose, whose family worked for the government, was named Zhang Ze. He was already wearing glasses at a young age, supposedly from playing video games, and his family was quite well-off.

“All the missing students claimed that they had seen their deceased relatives, who would give them candy.”
