Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 341 Two hundred and fifty-six. No stranger
Chapter 341
Lu Li didn't sleep well that night.
has nothing to do with other things, but since midnight, the cries of neighbors have been heard outside the detective agency one after another. Either the room is leaking, or the rain is spilling into the hallway.
The landlord's shouts rang out in the corridor outside the door all night long.
Lu Li's special status made the slightly fat landlord take care of him intentionally. For example, although the detective agency was wet, it did not leak, and he did not call out to repair the leak.
He was a distinguished guest on the big ship of the leaking "long house".
Early morning, 5:30.
Ana woke him up according to Lu Li's request, then leaned over to the window and continued to look at the hazy rainy street and pedestrians.
The majestic rain was like the sea water pouring down from the sky, and it was dimly lit with blue-gray that only showed the outline.
The gloomy streets and the pedestrians hurriedly passing by in the rain gave her a sense of both vision and reality—there is a plot in the novel she is currently reading.
The shouts and chaotic footsteps outside the door continued. Lu Li opened the door and walked into the corridor. Sandbags were stacked in front of the detective agency. layer of wax. In the opposite room, wooden barrels and iron basins are piled up to collect the rainwater that leaked into the house.
A male resident was wiping the stagnant water on the floor and found Lu Li walking out of the room. He greeted him respectfully: "Good morning, Mr. Lu Li, are you resting?"
Lu Li nodded: "Thank you for your help."
The resident waved his hand indifferently: "This is what we should do, you protect us from ghosts."
The residents of the noble carriage longhouse who have been picking up and dropping off in the past few days can see it in their eyes. In their understanding, Lu Li is a great exorcist who can help the nobles, and he lives here to protect the residents for free.
Although Lu Li has never done anything for the residents here.
went to the water room to pick up a pot of boiled water. Lu Li returned to the detective agency and put it back in the kettle. He picked up the receiver and called the telephone office to ask if there was a call yesterday.
Got no reply, Lu Li came to the corridor and stood under the eaves, opening the small wooden box containing the carrion.
The calf-height sandbags piled up in front of the door block the stagnant water seeping into the room and splashing water.
Even in bad weather, the messenger is safe from rain or shine. A few minutes later, a black silhouette descended from the sky and landed on Lu Liping's outstretched arm.
A thunderous sound rang out incessantly, slowly disappearing in the fog.
"Call the merchant."
The black crow's dark eyes reflected Lu Li's calm face, shaking the water droplets sticking to the feathers, the black crow lowered its head and ate the carrion in the broken wooden box, spreading its wings and flying into the rain screen.
Walking back to the detective agency, Lu Li received a few more greetings. While waiting for the businessman to arrive, Anna asked tentatively, "You don't want to go to refuge?"
[Zizi...Residents pay attention to...Zizi...Love will...Zizi...Broadcast for you]
Lu Li, who was tuning the radio frequency, raised his eyes and said, "Why do you say that."
"The residents here are kind to us... to you," Anna said.
Lu Li continued to lower his head to adjust the frequency, and answered simply: "No danger, no strangers."
Anna nodded knowingly.
Near 5:50, dull footsteps came from the corridor and stopped behind the door.
knock knock --
There was a knock on the door.
Ana opened the door and drifted back behind Lu Li.
The businessman was still not someone Lu Li knew, the brown-red scarf wrapped around most of its face, revealing only a pair of shadowy eyes.
Lu left straight to the point and asked, "How much is the deep sea stone?"
"13777 shillings."
The price of was almost doubled, but fortunately, Lu Li, who was paid 50,000 shillings, could barely afford it.
"Can you erase the fraction?" Lu Li asked a meaningless question.
"13,775 shillings," replied the merchant.
"Four deep-sea stones." Lu Li pushed the cowhide bag containing the reward in front of the merchant, and gave it a deposit of 5,200 shillings. "Buy two pieces of carrion, cut them and take the stone to 120 Elm Street, and put the key under the blanket at the door."
The two small wooden boxes were placed on the desk, which were put away by Lu Li, watching the merchant who took all his savings leave the detective agency.
At this point, Lu Li could hardly afford to eat—fortunately, there is free food for the time being.
After working with the detective agency, Lu Li got into the carriage that had been waiting on the street ten minutes ago and headed to the Baron Manor.
…
"She didn't wake up early, she was still sleeping." Having breakfast with the baron, the housekeeper briefly introduced the situation to Lu Li. "The story goes to the official content, no accident, the real danger will start from now, pay attention to safety."
"Um."
After eating, they changed their clothes and waited in the bedroom near 7 am.
The five exchanged a few words with each other and waited quietly for the obscure ancient sound.
The majestic rain outside the window carried a sense of destruction that was about to destroy everything, and the sky was only slightly brighter than when Lu Li woke up. Occasional flashes of lightning can't give people a sense of security.
7:10, the obscure ancient voice sounded on time.
【Chapter 8 Ritual of Resurrection】
[Sarah, who is sore all over, wakes up from the soft bed, still wearing the torn dress from last night. "Miss, are you resting?" said the servant Irene. Ra said, "Your eyes are all red."]
"Miss, you haven't rested yet, your eyes are all red." The baron repeated.
["Um..." Sara said vaguely and asked Francis if he should leave. The maid Irene said with a look of admiration in her eyes: He was sent away by the Viscount this morning. He was so kind to you. The Viscount stopped him from calling you to send him away. 】
["Really..." Sarah lowered her eyes and murmured, she thought of what was recorded in the Book of Death, and she wanted to try it. 】
【"Irene, I'm not feeling well, can you ask the teachers for leave for me? Don't tell my father." Sarah said to the maid Irene. uncomfortable? I'm going to call the doctor..." "I'm fine, I just want to rest for a while...please. "Sarah interrupted the maid Erin.]
["Okay..." Maid Irene said, apart from disagreement about Francis, she is also Sarah's good friend, of course she has to keep secrets for her friends. 】
The Baron left the bedroom.
[Sarah waited for Irene to leave, stepped out of bed and walked to the door, looking out - she saw those servants in the corridor, as if guarding her. "What are you doing here?" Sarah asked. 】
"Clean up." Lu Li still didn't give Shadow of the Line a chance to manipulate himself.
【"Clean up." The servant Lu Li replied. Sara suspected that they were assigned by her father to monitor her, but she couldn't find a suitable excuse to keep them away, so she pretended to ask casually, closed the door again, and locked it from the inside. 】
