Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 800 Ninety-one. New "partners"

   Chapter 800 Ninety-one. New "Partner"

   "I'm sorry Katarina, I'm so sad..."

   Barry's honest and upright face still had snot on his face.

   Barry?

   Lu Li frowned slightly on the hospital bed with a bandage around his neck.

  Barry was the one they met at Cape Storm, and then chose to follow like Katerina, Pusius, and Big Sister.

   But why is it so hard to remember more details?

   "It's okay, isn't Mr. Lu Li awake?"

  Puseus' words interrupted Lu Li, who was looking back on his memory: "Mr. Lu Li, are you feeling better?"

  …

   "Better than expected. The doctor said that the bullet grazed the neck, and only nearly broke the exorcist's neck. The assassin should not be able to use a musket, and he didn't know the bullet had a parabola..."

  In the corridor outside the ward, the assistant said to Mayor Matteus Knox who came over with joy.

   "So he has something to do!" Lord Mayor asked anxiously, he only cared a little.

   "Just blood loss and coma, woke up a few minutes ago."

   Mayor Mateus Knox looked at the room where the crying was heard. The noise made him uneasy, and he hesitated before knocking on the door.

   "It's me, Matthaus."

   The mayor who pushed open the door explained to Katarina and the others who were watching with a wary eye.

   "Is Mr. Lu Li okay?"

"Not at all."

   The always cheerful Purse showed unprecedented anger, and even asked, "Isn't this a coincidence, right, Lord Mayor? Mr. Lu Li just moved into that room early in the morning."

   Outside the window of the original room was a street that extended forward. There was a three-story stone building on the left side of the replaced room, which was just parallel to the room, allowing assassins to take advantage.

   "I'm sorry, it was my dereliction of duty..." Mayor Mateus Knox bowed his head to the pale Lu Li on the hospital bed with a strong apology: "Please give me some time... I will investigate."

   This mayor has put his status low enough that Katerina and the others can’t complain any more.

   Leaving the words to take a good rest, Mayor Mateus Knox exited the ward with a gloomy expression on his face.

   "Is it a conspiracy?" the assistant asked him.

   "Has the murderer been caught?" Matthaus asked.

   "Suicide."

"That's it."

  Mateus came to the corridor window, glanced at the guards at the end, and looked at the soldiers under martial law around the Weinstein Hospital outside the window.

   "Indeed... the timing of the assassin's appearance is too coincidental. Also, Mr. Mayor, now the councillors and nobles don't have a good reputation for you." The assistant stood behind him and said.

   "What did you say?"

   "A lot. The assassination of Your Excellency Lu Li did not stop Your Excellency Lu Li from leaving. Some people even said..."

"say what."

   "... Said that the assassin was sent by you, in order not to let Your Excellency Lu Li leave."

  …

   "You just appeared when you said you wanted to leave the assassination."

   Katerina folded her arms and leaned against the ward wall with old-fashioned rose wallpaper: "And she only suffered minor injuries that made it difficult to leave... Maybe this is a warning to stop running around."

   Katarina's thoughts were dark, but at this point they were believable.

   "But... Mayor Mateus looks like a good guy." Barry said hesitantly.

  Katerina sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say to this simple and honest guy: "Good people don't become politicians."

  A few days in the Lange family Caterina seemed to be indoctrinated into something that made her hate politicians.

   "The odds are low."

  Lu Li said calmly, his pale face attached to the words with a weak meaning: "No one will use assassination to stop them."

   That is stupid.

   And besides Lu Li, who was assassinated, Mayor Matthew Knox was the second-worst person to lose.

   It is conceivable how the human world would laugh at Wiener Port Freeze, and how councillors and nobles would criticize the derelict mayor.

  The political struggle in Wiener's Antifreeze Harbor is more serious than that in Midnight City, and there is no apparent repression by strange forces here.

   The councilors who are trying to seize the mayor's position will not let go of this mace.

   Maybe even the mace was delivered by them…

  …

   "The assassin shouted for Lord Lowry after being caught, and then swallowed poison and committed suicide."

  Lori Hama, adviser to the Privy Council, a member of the mayor's faction.

   Matthaus sighed: "It's a simple slander, right?"

   "But it's very effective, angry people don't think much rationally, they just vent their anger," the assistant replied.

   "Go and tell him that I will remove him temporarily. We know he was wronged but we have to give the people an explanation."

   "I don't approve of you doing this. The Brotherhood is likely to be eyeing this position, just waiting for you to remove him and replace him with one of their own."

   "Then lend it to them temporarily, and the top priority is to solve the trouble of the exorcist."

   Anyone who knows the details of the assassination knows that the killer shouldn't make such a stupid mistake.

   "But one thing is certain."

   "What?" Matthaus looked back at the assistant.

   "The exorcist won't risk leaving for a while."

  …

   "Still leaving? But your injury..." Katerina frowned.

  Prius and Barry are also persuading.

   "It's just blood loss." Lu Li said.

  The Doomsday Apocalypse gives him faster recovery and tougher stamina.

   "Vener Freeze will not let you leave," Katerina said.

   "It's good not to be known by them."

  Luri looked out the window, seagulls hovering over the port.

   "Since you insist." Katerina did not persuade anymore.

   The door of the ward was pushed open, and everyone in the conversation turned off at the same time.

  The merchant entered the ward.

   They looked away and didn't ask where it was going because it could only be a transaction.

   Strangely, the merchant's eyes fell on Barry.

   "Who are you." it asked.

   Lu Li frowned.

   The simple and honest appearance of Barry stopped, suddenly faded, and disappeared into the ward.

   Everyone's memory about him gradually faded away as he disappeared.

   "Why can't I suddenly remember who Barry is..." Pusius shook his head.

   "A memory that is not part of experience."

   Lu Li whispered, his memory was fading, he raised his head and asked the businessman, "Is it an evil spirit."

"No message."

   Katerina commissioned the mayor's assistant to investigate, but there is still no information about "Barry".

Is    a new evil spirit or something else weird? .

   After being fortunate, I was afraid.

   They didn't notice the strangeness that came in, not even Lu Li.

  In any case, it was fortunate that the merchant pierced it and drove it away.

  The outside world is in chaos due to the attack on Lu Li, but everything is blocked outside the hospital.

During the    period, Katarina went back to the city hall and brought her luggage back to prepare for her secret departure.

   "When are we?"

   Worried that the partition wall has ears, Katarina only said half of it.

   "Before dawn."

  Lu Li and the others were in the eye of the storm that swept through the ice-free port of Wiener, but instead fell into a strange calm.

  The merchant left again in the evening, and Katerina and Physius rested in the ward, preparing for their secret departure in the middle of the night.

   "I don't know why the businessman is so malicious towards me..."

   The simple and honest man sat down in the corner with his head down.

   "Don't worry about Barry."

  Prius got up, wagged his tail and walked to Barry to cheer him up: "We all believe in you."
