Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 16 Sixteen. Contents of the Commission

  【Haunted House】

  【Location: Simp Park】

  [Belfast has never been a children's paradise. It has been facing the corrosion of the sea breeze and the smog that can kill people in the industrial area all the year round, although it has been better recently. As one of the representatives of Simpler Park, apart from the circus and the broken horses, there are only those flowers and plants left. This newly built, well-made, seriously-staffed haunted house is seriously out of tune - and does anyone really pay to see the ghosts? 】

[The answer is yes, and there are a lot of idiots (please allow me to call them that) who pay to see the ghosts played by employees and claim how real the ghosts are... Please, why pay money to meet real ghosts when you can meet them for free To see a fake ghost? 】

[This information comes from a curious, or a guy who has been frightened by a haunted house. The client went home after visiting the haunted house and was frightened and had nightmares for a few days. He suspected that the ghost of the haunted house was a real ghost and not an employee, so he was planning to Look for the detective agency to issue a commission. 】

  【Remuneration that can be paid: 50~200 shillings. He's just a little penny commoner and can't come up with much money. 】

  Note: My brother at Simps Park told me that apart from the opening of a haunted house, there are no other spooky events happening in the park.

  【Mrs. An Lei Art Gallery】

  【Location: No. 23 Da Vinci Street】

[It is rumored that there are sculptures and living portraits that move around in the middle of the night in art galleries. You know, in places like Belfast where there is no artistic atmosphere at all, it is normal for people to be afraid of sculptures and portraits. Decades ago They're even scared of cameras... I seem to be digressing? 】

  【In short, many employees on duty at night were scared away. They claimed that the night there was very scary, and it was more desperate than staying at the seaside late at night. 】

  【I asked for this information privately. I heard that the person in charge of the gallery is not planning to hire an exorcist for the time being—before the customers are attacked. However, there are night-time employees there, and now it has risen to 20 shillings a night. Boss, you can try it out. If you really catch a ghost, you can ask the boss for a price—I heard that the boss from out of town is very rich]

  【Remuneration that can be paid: Unclear. The gallery owner is a mean guy, especially before he sees a ghost. 】

  Note: The brothers in the Da Vinci block told me that the gallery business was bad, as expected.

  【Forest Ghost】

  【Location: Stover Lumberyard】

[This commission was jointly posted by several lumberjacks. They claimed that there would be walking figures and strange communication sounds in the forest every evening. will not disappear. The lumberjacks hoped to find out the truth and exorcise the ghosts. 】

  【This request has been posted on the notice board for several weeks and has been ignored. Those who can handle it look down on that money, and those who value it can't handle it. I secretly asked some friends, and they said that the Stover Lumberyard is still getting several truckloads of firewood every day, and the lumberjacks are fine. So is it possible that someone is messing up? 】

  【Remuneration that can be paid: 180 shillings. The six lumberjacks each paid 30 shillings. 】

  Note: I have no brothers living there.

  【Abandoned Madhouse】

  【Location: Suburbs of Port Rodster】

  【Insane asylum, mental hospital, whatever you want to call it. I heard that it was closed down three years ago due to poor management - because this hospital is private, the place has never been sold and abandoned. Nearby residents could hear screams from the asylum after it was abandoned. 】

  【It is said that after the closure of the madhouse, all the medical staff left, but some patients who were kept in custody were forgotten in it until today. 】

  【The client is a relative of a patient, strictly speaking, his cousin. His cousin Edward heard that he was sent to this insane asylum because he was insane, and then nothing happened. He didn't have the guts to go in, so he posted power of attorney on various streets and asked someone to go to the madhouse to find his cousin. 】

  【Remuneration that can be paid: 100 shillings. The client felt that it was just a little scary there, and there would be no supernatural phenomena. 】

  Remarks: The brothers in the suburbs told me that the above is true. When those people evacuated, they left some patients with no homes and no money. It’s really pitiful. I hope they are not locked in iron cages.

  【Library Ruins】

  【Location: Belfast Library】

  [The ruins of the Belfast library are left untreated so far, and I have to say that this is the sadness of the government and the people. But this has little to do with us. 】

[There is no client for this information. It appears here because the old curator of the library believed that there were some books in the ruins that had not been burned, so he published a newspaper to solicit residents to search for the unburned books in the ruins (with a copy of that day’s newspaper), each book will be recycled by the old curator for 5 shillings]

  【I tried it and found nothing except being exhausted to death and almost hit by charred wood. The reason it's here is just that I personally think bosses might be of interest to you. If the boss is short on cash, try your luck, but don't get your hopes up. 】

  【Remuneration that can be paid: 5 shillings a copy. 】

  Remarks: The brothers near the library told me that there may be undead wandering in the ruins, and some people have seen people walking around the ruins with lights at night.

   Oliver had arranged a lot of commissions. After Lu Li removed some commissions that were too low-paid and had a high probability of being haunted, the remaining ones were spread out on the table and sorted by priority.

   After reading the five commissions for the third time, Lu Li set his primary goal as the haunted house.

   Just to see if there is a ghost, there will be a decent shilling, of course Lu Li will not miss it.

   However, the situation changed a bit. When contacting the client, Oliver told him that the commission had been accepted.

  Lu Li retreated and chose the second sequence of Mrs. An Lei Art Gallery.

   The price of 20 shillings per night is only the same as that of a salesperson, and Lu Li, the representative of the night staff, can only work at night. But he knew one thing: shillings weren't that easy to earn.

   There is no such example of cheating on his father like Henry, and Lu Li, who only has a psychic gun, can't take off the commission of exterminating ghosts like a real exorcist.

  Lu Li still needs to learn.

   The upper class may have a lot of money, but Lu Li doesn't plan to have too much contact with them for the time being.

  The capitalists and aristocrats in the early days of capital were like a mixture of vampires and hyenas, greedy and demanding.

   Lu Li doesn't think he can deal with them by himself.

   In order to prevent others from contacting the gallery first, Lu Li, who had accepted the commission, came to the Madame Anlei Art Gallery in the Da Vinci block that afternoon.
