Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 278 One hundred and ninety-three. Discovery of the source of pollutants

   Little Leif Street.

  This is adjacent to Elm Street, which is geographically closer to Belfast city center - compared to Elm Street.

   But the house prices here are not slightly more expensive than Elm Street, on the contrary, this is one of the few neighborhoods in Belfast where house prices can be regarded as cheap.

  Because it's too far from the city and not near the elm forest.

  Elm Street is at least adjacent to a forest, and a considerable number of people like to be close to nature.

   Alfre Reno is the owner of the house at 158 ​​Little Leif Street, adjacent to 1 Elm Street.

  Alfred Reynolds had rheumatism, so whenever it rained, he would bring a rocking chair, a blanket and a kettle full of hot coffee, and a book, and sit in front of the fireplace to pass the time.

   But he wouldn't sit near a window, and seeing or hearing rain would make his knees start to sore -- not seeing that much better.

  It was raining heavily on Sunday, and Alfred Reno was sitting on the other side of the fireplace away from the window, holding a travel novel, reading quietly with the crackling of the fireplace wood.

   At a certain moment, he heard the faint sound of rain outside the window mixed with a little noise, and it spread out over time, overpowering the sound of falling rain.

   Stepped his feet on the floor, the rocking chair under him stopped shaking, Alfred Reno took off the blanket, left the chair and walked to the window. Under the pouring rain, he saw dozens of police officers dispersed in the rain curtain, blocking the road leading to Elm Street. Among them were some mysterious fellows in black uniforms, with shivering eyes open over their shoulders.

"This is……"

   Alfred Reno froze, staring blankly at these people busy on the street not far from his home.

   A figure in a black uniform noticed Alfred Reno behind the window, gave him a cold look, and retracted his gaze.

   The police officers who arrived earlier appeared on the edge of Elm Street. Their expressions were confused and frightened, but they had not forgotten their responsibilities, and had not communicated with their colleagues outside the cordon.

   They are responsible for explaining the situation to the potentially infected residents on Elm Street.

   The entire Elm block has been completely blocked off, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

  …

   in the blocked Elm Street.

   The cafe owner's words fell, and Price and Matthew looked at each other - because Lu Li didn't look at him.

  Lu Li continued to ask: "What do you know about the cup she brought to you."

  The owner of the cafe has some guesses: "You think it's her cup..."

   Lu Li nodded lightly and looked at him calmly. The cafe owner whispered something inexplicably. After thinking about it, he told Lu Li, "I think it's not the cup... or at least the cup itself has a problem. Madam Petra has been doing this for almost five years, and it can't be recently... "

  The cafe owner hesitated.

  Price replied: "Put the analysis aside in advance and tell us the details of the cup."

"Okay...that's a set of silver cups, and Mrs. Petra said there are three of the same cups, but I only saw her bring one...maybe there's no difference in appearance. Oh yes, the style of the cups It's a mug..."

   "Did she say where the cup came from?"

   "I said, it's one of her students."

"continue."

"Continue... um... I don't think so... Wait a minute, I think about it! Because it's inconvenient to bring a cup around, Mrs. Petra sometimes puts the cup with me and comes over to drink tea the next day. But she Loved that set of mugs so I didn't do it very often."

  Price said, "Anything else to add?"

   "I can't think of it for a while..." the cafe owner replied.

  Price looked at Lu Li who was thinking, and waited quietly for him to finish thinking: "What did you think of?"

"Only the person and the cup are the most suspicious at the moment. The cup may not be the source of everything, but it may be the source of the infection in the cafe - something or existence infected Petra's home, and Petra's cup was brought to the Cafes, causing secondary infections."

   "Just these two things we can do together, you contact the outside world, and investigate who Petra has been in contact with before, focusing on this time a week ago."

  The interval between the birth of the consciousness of evil things is about a week, and it will take a week for Petra's home to be infected, so continue to push back, they just need to determine what happened a week ago.

   Matthew stayed, and Price went to call the outside world in person. Six minutes later, he returned to Lu Li: "The alliance has already started to do it, and Elm Street has been blocked. Next, we are here to wait for the materials to be sent?"

   Lu Li nodded.

  …

  Hot drinks can be served uninterrupted, but food is not. This clothing store doesn’t store much food, and it’s hard to buy outside in this weather—especially when there’s no way to communicate with the outside world.

   But apart from the night watchman, even Lu Li usually doesn't eat three meals, so no one said anything.

After a boring wait, Lu Li left the kitchen for a short time, walked to the bookcase in the corner, and picked two books: a book of wild species in the Ellen Peninsula, and a love novel that is very popular among girls, which is related to weirdness - a human girl loves The story of a young nobleman's ghost.

  Anna should enjoy watching it.

   Lu Li returned to the window with these two books, one in front of him and one beside him.

  Price's gaze and Matthew's slightly raised eyebrows behind them, they saw the book beside Lu Li opened automatically, as if there was an invisible existence opening the book.

   The alliance moved quickly. The third hour after Lu Li went to Elm Street, and the second hour after Price communicated with the outside world, the police officers on Elm Street received the information thrown by the police outside.

  What Luli and Price need are in there.

   Waiting for the thing to arrive, Pulis handed it over to Lu Li habitually: "You look at it first."

  Anna was still reading, Lu Li opened the rain cloth outside and pulled out the materials.

   The printed and handwritten content is mixed in half and half, and the ink marks on it have not completely dried up.

   There are many people who have been in contact with Petra a week ago, and there are many exchanges.

  Petra was invited by the University of Bolivia to give a lecture last Saturday. The alliance visited most of the students and professors she had contact with in a short period of time, and recorded the chat records of the conversations. Three of them were highlighted.

  Hawkinson, 29, associate professor of occultism at the University of Bolivia, student Nancy Lim and dean Mr. Robert.

   After briefly skipping the survey data of the latter two names, Lu Li's attention fell on Hawkinson's data.

  If nothing else, the problem lies with the associate professor.

   When Petra went to the University of Bolivia a week ago, his former student Hawkinson gave her an ancient book.

   More importantly, after the ancient books were sent, the young associate professor disappeared.
