Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 440 Seventeen. Goodbye Irene

  The clouds covered the sky, and the mist that enveloped Belfast could not be washed away by the wet and cold light rain.

   In the distance, there is only a foggy outline of Crescent Bay.

  The light gray deserted is blocked from one of the most gorgeous estates in Onyx Lake. A grand banquet is being held at Baron Joseph's house. The guests' carriages are lined up on the left outside the manor, and the accompanying groomsmen and servants who are not qualified to enter the manor are enjoying the food brought by the maid.

  The most common of the invited guests is also a millionaire, so at this moment, an ordinary rental carriage that broke into them became dazzling.

   Like Baron Joseph, who was pushed by the housekeeper, sat in a wheelchair, and walked among the guests.

   The invited guests did not underestimate this young and beautiful woman, as if they could not see the missing legs under the violet-like gorgeous dress, they raised their wine glasses and paid tribute to Joseph who passed by.

It was like the sight cast from countless pairs of gorgeous carriages, and the ordinary carriage that was in focus stopped briefly in front of the manor without even handing in the invitation letter. The maid took the initiative to take the reins when the curtain was lifted to talk about something. , lead the carriage into the manor.

   "The baron has been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Lu Li." The maid holding an umbrella couldn't help but tell Lu Li.

  Lu Li's cold and calm voice sounded: "What does she want to say to me?"

  …

   "I am very sorry and saddened by what happened before, little Irene."

  The woman with the heavy makeup to hide the ravages of the years sighed in a "noble" tone while standing in front of the wheelchair.

   The red-burning fireplace didn't warm the open hall much, but she still grabbed a feather fan and fanned it gently.

It can be seen that she likes this exaggerated dress very much, otherwise there is no reason to insist on wearing her to the banquet even when the fat is squeezed out of her waist - of course, she may be surrounded by graceful and flattering people. People tell her the truth.

   "Compared to being killed by an evil spirit, it's a better ending now." Baron Joseph's lazy voice had a unique hoarseness.

  Most people think that Baron Joseph's farewell feast and departure were due to the evil spirits encountered - although it is not too much.

   They don't think the source is a man's suggestion.

   At this moment, the man was walking up the stone steps outside the door.

   "I have something strange." The hoarse voice as light as a cat sounded, and Baron Joseph's eyes fell on the woman with a certain meaning: "Monsters don't appear in the manor for no reason, are you right?"

   "Uh... Who knows, oh hehe-" Aunt Mary showed obvious panic, she covered her lips with a fan and gave a few pretentious smiles, then turned and left in a panic.

  Baron Joseph narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Aunt Mary walk away.

   "Mr. Lu Li is here."

   The butler bowed and whispered in Baron Joseph's ear.

   Those slightly curved eyes immediately lit up, and he turned to look at the tall figure walking towards the door.

   took the wine glass that the baron was holding in the palm of his hand and put it on the maid's tray. The butler pushed the baron to meet Lu Li.

   "You're late." Erin's voice became less hoarse lazily.

   "Some personal things to do." Lu Li replied, his eyes fell on her dress, or under the empty skirt.

   "Can I invite you to a dance?" Irene stretched out her slender hand and said with a small smile.

   In front of Lu Li, she can properly not maintain an aristocratic attitude.

  The temperature around Luli quickly became shady and cool, and the guests not far away had a layer of goosebumps and moved away from the door in confusion.

  Irene showed the embarrassment of being caught on the spot, and pretended to say nothing, "Miss Anna is also there? Then let's talk about business."

  The temperature did not rise as Irene changed the subject. Before the baron's rashness caused more disturbances, the butler interjected: "Miss Anna, you know that the baron's legs are gone, so he can't dance."

   The gloomy aura around him finally dissipated.

   Walking to the window in the corner of the hall, Lu Li felt some unkind eyes swept here.

The    banquet did not seem to be as harmonious as expected.

   "I heard that you are leaving the Ellen Peninsula to go to the Lennon Islands?" Being with Lu Li made Irene more relaxed and said lazily leaning on the wheelchair.

   "Who said that?" Lu Li asked calmly.

   "It's just what my servant told me." Erin replied casually.

   "Where did the servant know about it."

"Okay, in fact, I was secretly watching your whereabouts, so I knew as soon as you booked the ticket." Irene reluctantly confessed, and whispered to herself: "Do you have to be so specific...you Are you listening?"

   Hearing the call, Lu Li looked away from the familiar figure of the lady in the crowd in the banquet hall: "What was the business you just said?"

   glanced at the hall strangely, and Irene replied: "Farewell, and there is a play to watch."

  Lu Li kept quiet, waiting for Irene to continue speaking.

  The whole world is becoming more and more dangerous today, nobles are transferring their assets and families to seek a safer place.

  Some choose Lennon Islands like Lu Li, and some choose Refuge like Erin. Either way, they have to arrange their own property before leaving.

   Or sell it, or make a proper arrangement to look forward to the day when the opportunity arises.

  As one of the richest people in Belfast, and without an heir and a deep background that is hard to offend, Irene was harassed by distant relatives and other nobles at this time.

   They wanted to take a chunk of meat off Baron Joseph.

   Baron Joseph, who maintains his wealth, has the best disguise: youth and beauty.

  People will subconsciously look up on an old man with wise eyes, and belittle a baroness who is riddled with scandals and has bad reviews.

   So the farewell banquet in the hall at the moment is just an illusion. Next, Irene will invite the person who should be invited to the real "banquet".

   "What should I do?" Lu left the exit.

   "You don't have to do anything, I can solve these little things, but your presence can scare them. The more mysterious you are, the more uneasy they will be." Irene looked at the crowd at the banquet, her eyes showing a fox-like arc.

   "They must have started to feel uneasy."

   The real banquet started soon. Lu Li and Baron Joseph went to the living room to wait. The butler left to call for the guests who needed to attend the "real banquet".

  The nobles who received the call left the noisy banquet hall one after another and walked into the quiet meeting room. Looking at each other, they seemed to understand something, and sat quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.

   Aunt Mary of Irene was also called by the housekeeper. When she came in, she also yelled and asked what was going on, and was quiet under Irene's indifferent gaze.

   Soon, the twelve tables and chairs in front of the long table were filled with richly dressed nobles.

  In addition to Lu Li, 11 people including Irene almost monopolized one-third of Belfast's wealth.

   And then, as Irene said, Lu Li doesn't have to do anything, the only purpose of his presence is to make those people feel uneasy and satisfy Irene's bad taste.
