Bizarre Detective Agency: Chapter 98 14. The girl with the umbrella
Chapter 98 Fourteen. Girl with an umbrella
"I don't want to."
Behind the desk, the oil lamp was on, and Lu Li shook his head slightly.
"But there's no way. O'Connor rots every day, maybe tomorrow he'll be a different form, and we can't find him."
Anna wants to find O'Connor before he attacks the new victim, but it's impossible.
"I know but... but it's still a little uncomfortable." The ghost girl pursed her lips, her kindness was enough to make many humans ashamed.
Lu Li thought of Hades' eyes that seemed to have a deep meaning. He himself seemed to be very opposed to making the ghost stronger - Lu Li planned to take the time to ask why.
Like tomorrow.
The surroundings became quiet, and Lu Li began to think about tracking Richard's whereabouts.
Richard's plan has been completely revealed in front of his eyes. Next, Lu Li has to find O'Connor and get Richard's position from his mouth.
He already knew what O'Connor was going to do, and he just had to wait.
But in order to avoid a loophole, Lu Li took out a note from his pocket after thinking.
When left the police station, Valentine, the Deputy Sheriff of Watch Town, handed him a note. Above is Valentine's personal phone number.
Of course, it wasn't Valentine who also fell in love with Lu Li, he hoped that the two could keep in touch, which was a kind of gesture.
And just as Valentine was interested in Lu Li's future, Lu Li was also interested in Valentine's ability. He called Valentine and told him he needed help.
"Please help me keep an eye out for the recent disappearances in Overwatch Town and the presence of highly decomposed corpses. Contact me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will let my subordinates pay attention."
Hanging up the phone, Lu Li calmly leaned into the seat.
The net has been laid, and the next step is to wait for O'Connor's self-injection.
The night was dark, and the door was knocked at a certain moment.
Anna, who was wiping the sculpture, tilted her head in surprise, and temporarily put down the towel to hide her figure.
The manager of Stephen's car dealership, whom Lu Li had met not long ago, stood outside the door. He brought Lu Li's plain gain this time: 963 shillings.
The flowers were returned by Stephen's car dealership, but the florist was only willing to accept half of them, because the trimmed flowers can only be stored for a maximum of two to three days. The remaining half was sent to other flower shops by Steve's, but only half were sold.
Apart from the 30% of the labor fee that Lu Li had promised, 70% of the shillings had already been put on the table, and the remaining quarter of the tulips on the street outside the longhouse.
The manager of the car shop was stopped by Lu Li before he was about to leave. He took 20 shillings from the stack of shillings and pushed it in front of the manager: "Leave one of the tulips outside, and the others help me give them to other residents on the street."
The manager of the car dealership did not refuse this time. In his opinion, it is a good deal to earn 20 shillings extra for one street. He smiled and bowed: "I think the people of Sailor Street will thank you for your generosity."
The dealership manager left the detective agency, brought another tulip in a short while, and then walked backwards.
"Send it to you."
Lu Li handed the flower to Anna who secretly looked over here.
Anna took it shyly and hinted awkwardly, "Do you know the flower language of tulips?"
Lu Li, who symbolizes absolute rationality, looked at her and replied, "That's not important, it's meaningless, it's just a sales strategy by the flower shop owner."
Anna drifted away with a stiff smile.
…
The next day, nine thirty in the morning.
Lu Li, who was lying on the desk, woke up.
The oil lamp was dimly lit, and Anna was sitting gracefully in the portrait on the shelf.
Lu Li turned off the oil lamp, the color in the room changed from a mixture of cool and warm tones to a cold one, looking out of the window, a tulip inserted in a water glass on the window sill stood tall.
glanced at the time, the time to return the carriage was before ten o'clock in the morning, it seemed that there was no way to return the carriage after returning from Hades.
Fortunately, the car shop is only one street away from Haders' detective agency, not very far.
Putting on a black trench coat, Lu Li went out.
Maybe because of waking up in the morning and finding a tulip stuck in every door in the whole street, every resident greeted Lu Li very friendly. Holding up a few golden tulips, the children ran past them playfully, leaving clear words of thanks.
got on the carriage, and Lu Li drove to the car shop. Ten minutes later, when he was approaching the carriage shop, he noticed that the adjacent shop had pulled up a cordon.
Familiar police uniforms under the umbrella surrounded the cordon and talked in a low voice.
In the sound of the rain, the faint voices came into the ears along the breeze.
It seems that a resident found a half-length body by the trash can of the shop.
The corpse was broken with tooth marks, as if it had been swallowed by a wild beast. But the upper body was not found, and it is likely that the upper body will not be found.
Lu Li passed the cordon, returned the carriage, and stood under the eaves quietly looking at the busy police officers under the rain. They are analyzing whether the dead did not carry a light source after nightfall.
At this moment, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and a figure stood beside him, holding a large light gray umbrella that did not match his petite figure.
"Sir, do you need an umbrella?" He asked Lu Li with a clear voice like jade beads falling on a silver plate.
The grey umbrella was pressed very low, covering most of the face, only a small section of the snow-white chin and bright red lips were revealed. A white lace dress
Lu Li's body stiffened in an instant, and replied, "I have an umbrella."
The girl under the umbrella said softly, "I'd better give it to you. Look, my umbrella is very big."
"...Thank you." After a brief silence, Lu Li walked under the umbrella he held up. "I'm going to No. 36 Xingchen Street."
His right hand was always attached to the trouser line near the holster.
He turned his head and looked at the girl's side face.
Ming's snow-white face is amazing, as perfect as walking out of an oil painting.
"You're welcome, but remember that no matter what, don't look up." Bai Ruoqing's fingers lightly covered her red lips, the girl said softly.
"What happens when you see it?" Lu Li asked.
The red lips covered by the fingers raised a wonderful arc, and said with a chuckle, "It may be eaten."
Lu Li stopped talking, walked side by side with the girl, the drizzle was hazy, and the men and women under the umbrella walked past the shop with the cordoned up, and walked forward shoulder to shoulder.
An outsider may seem a little bit shy - but the person involved will not think so.
Occasionally there will be a faint chewing sound coming from the top of the head, like grinding teeth. Girls often remind at this time: "Don't look up."
"I know." Lu Li replied.
The length of a street is just a few minutes walk. Ten minutes later, in front of Hades' detective agency, Lu Li took a step and left the area shrouded by the wide gray umbrella.
"Thank you." Lu Li turned his head and thanked him calmly.
The girl picked up a corner of her skirt and bowed slightly with a chuckle.
She raised her face and watched Lu Li turned around and pushed the door towards the dark interior. The wind chimed, and the closed door blocked her vision.
"he's gone."
The red lips exposed under the umbrella moved slightly, and a slightly regretful voice sounded.
"What a pity, I thought I could have a full meal."
Guru-
A muffled belly growl sounded from the bottom of the umbrella, as if answering the girl. The mouthparts occupying the entire bottom of the umbrella wriggled, dripping dark green mucus.
