Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 15 Fifteen. Slavic Sorrows

  The metal lock on the latch blocked Lu Li's way.

   Didn't give Lu Li time to think, the sound of slow and heavy footsteps came from upstairs, approaching this side.

   "Where are you, Mr. Lu Li, don't hide, come out quickly."

  Looking around the living room, Lu Li quietly walked behind the desk and hid.

  dacha—

  dacha—

  dacha—

   The heavy moving sound was like the death knell foretelling death, and he approached the living room step by step unswervingly.

   The dust on the edge of the stairs was shaken and fell, and the thick legs under the floral nightdress appeared between the guardrails.

  The Slavic lady has come to the drawing room.

   This beast-like savage woman walked to the center of the living room, and a voice like thunder sounded dull: "So you like this kind of fun, Mr. Lu Li is really an interesting person."

  dacha—

  dacha—

  dacha—

   The slipper rubbed against the wooden board, and the Slavic lady moved again and started walking towards the desk, getting closer and closer.

   Lu Li had already heard the suppressed excited breathing.

  patta—

   When the Slavic lady was about to walk to the desk, there was a small sound from the stairs, like the sound of falling stones, or the sound of accidentally stepping on a protruding plank.

  The footsteps stopped, and the Slavic lady's laughter sounded from behind the desk: "Mr. Lu Li, I have found you."

  嘭嘭—

  The running sound of the Slavic lady is like a battering ram, even the hall can feel it

  Lu Li stood up from his hiding place, his elusive and quiet gaze fell to the corner of the stairs on the second floor.

  …

  The poor weak and helpless Oliver huddled by the bed, full of guilt and worry about Lu Li as he showed.

   He couldn't imagine how the Slavic lady was pressing on Lu Li.

   Want to help the boss? But the Slavic lady can break my neck with one hand...

   In the inner torment, the soil of the door was pushed open, and a figure that should not have appeared appeared at the door.

   "Tell me what happened."

   Facing the surprised gaze, Lu Li's tone was still calm, and he closed the door slowly and silently.

   There were some voices outside, and some tenants found the apartment door locked and were asking the Slavs.

   Oliver, who had been extremely entangled for a long time, did not hide anything, and told Lu Li everything that happened.

   "So because I complimented the Slavic lady, she thought I liked her and asked you to lead me here?"

   "Poor...about the same."

   Oliver couldn't think of any other reason besides this, and the Slavic lady did show a... fascination with Lu Li.

  Lu Li was silent, Oliver was frightened.

   "The door is locked, is there any way you can get out of here?"

   Lu Li's voice sounded, and he didn't talk too much about Oliver's betrayal of himself.

  Oliver raised his head suddenly, his eyes hopeful. He opened his mouth to say something, and suddenly the footsteps of the Slavic lady reverberated in the corridor outside the door.

  Oliver's face was pale, and he said hurriedly: "Boss, hurry up and hide, the Slavic lady is here."

  Lu Li took a deep look at Oliver and hid behind the bed.

  dacha—

  dacha—

  dacha—

The sound of    approaching footsteps disappeared behind the door, and the door handle slowly turned.

  Squeak-

   The sour door sounded, and the Slavic lady's body was jammed outside the door.

  Oliver put on a surprised face and hurried forward: "Lady Slav, why are you here, have you met my boss?"

   "Has Mr. Lu Li been here?" The lighthouse-like gaze fell on Oliver.

   Oliver couldn't look directly at that line of sight, and lowered his head. Suddenly he raised his head with determination, and stammered, "Come, come..."

   "The boss said he was going to hide on the third floor, he just left!"

   "You are doing well, little Oliver." The Slavic lady was very satisfied with Oliver's answer. "If Lu Li becomes your boss, maybe you won't need to spend a penny to live here in the future."

   "I wish you success, Mrs. Lu Li." Oliver bowed his head respectfully.

  It wasn't until Mrs. Slav left that Oliver raised his head and closed the door.

   He leaned back against the door, heaving a sigh of relief, thinking of what to say to Lu Li who stood up behind the bed: "Boss, you can escape through the window!"

  Oliver jumped to the window and lifted it up, and the breeze came in from outside, blowing the edge of the window cloth.

   "What about the entrustment information?"

   Lu Li's voice made Oliver's movements stop, thinking of something, he rushed to the table, sorted out a stack of papers not far from the unwashed dishes, and handed it to Lu Li excitedly.

   He thought this new job was over, but Lu Li's words showed that he was still willing to hire himself.

   "Boss, I have no choice but to take care of my sister if I die, her name is Joanna!" Oliver's thin body showed courage, he stared deeply at Lu Li: "Now, let's go quickly."

  Oliver opened the door and shouted with all his strength to the door: "Lady Slav! My boss is here!"

After shouting   , he didn't look back at Lu Li, but slammed his forehead against the door frame.

  !

   With a muffled sound, Oliver fell to the ground with his eyes rolling.

  Looking at all this silently, Lu Li retracted his gaze, glanced at the corridor where footsteps approached quickly, turned and walked towards the window.

   Black and gold streets, pedestrians come and go.

   A figure falling from the sky caused the exclamations of passers-by. Their eyes moved back and forth between the figure and the window on the second floor, full of surprise.

  Lu Li dusted off his body like an outsider, put on a top hat, and walked away on the street.

  …

   "Why did Mr. Lu Li run away?"

There was a hint of sadness in the   slavic lady's tone. If she didn't look at her, she sounded like a woman whose heart was broken by a man.

   "Hiss...but...maybe you scared him madam..." Oliver touched the lump on his forehead and gasped.

   The terrifying gaze fell on him, and Oliver quickly added: "My boss is a very introverted person, madam, you are too enthusiastic."

   "Little Oliver, what can you do?"

   "Like... writing a love letter...?"

  …

boom-

  The door was blown closed by the wind.

   The top hat was hung on the hanger, Lu Li returned to the deserted detective agency, went around to the seat behind the desk and sat down, unfolding today's newspaper.

   He didn't read in the newspaper what happened in the port yesterday.

   It seems to have been confirmed that the Rhodes in the harbor encountered something in the deep sea yesterday.

  Quietly read the entire contents of the newspaper, including some advertisements, Lu Li picked up a book in the drawer and pulled out the piece of paper.

  【Important: Resolve the ghost entangled in yourself (completed)】

   added brackets at the back, Lu Li put down the pen and thought about what to do next.

  Lu Li hasn't decided whether to become an exorcist.

  This world is already full of dangers, and the exorcist who faces the ghost is the first to bear the brunt, which is somewhat inconsistent with Lu Li's purpose of understanding the world in a stable manner.

   Then, let’s earn 1000 shillings through commissioning.
