Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 443 Twenty. Farewell to Belfast

  The streets of Belfast have become bustling and bustling after a long time.

  The fog has dissipated, and only the light rain falling from the gloomy clouds shrouded the city. Viewed from the street at the top of the hill, the road to Rodester Harbour is crowded with long queues of carriages.

  The whistles of steam cars huddled in the procession echoed low in the sky, like those swarms of crows circling in the air, bringing ominous signs.

   The carriages that left Sailor Street were quickly jammed into the road, and the hooded driver in the steam car ahead was honking his horn impatiently, as if this would make the road clear.

   Under the noise, the horses snorted in shock.

   "We can go around the slum." Anna's voice sounded in my ear.

  Lu Li took the reins and left the congested Changlong and drove towards the South Block.

   Driving through several unfamiliar blocks, the carriage entered a familiar block: the Holy Father’s block.

   In the drizzle in the distance, the towering Cathedral of Kaelthas stands in a secluded cemetery.

  The carriage approached the church, and the tombstones of varying heights and the sympathetic angel statues in the low fence of the cemetery became clear.

   Dumb! dumb! dumb! dumb!

  Flocks of crows fell into the dead trees in the cemetery, crowded with branches, and tilted their heads to look at the pedestrians and carriages passing by outside the cemetery, as if announcing death.

   For Jojo and Fran, who looked out the car window to witness this scene, the crows on the branches were full of ominous signs.

   Lu Li and Anna were very calm - for investigators, crows were equivalent to companions.

   This is more like a farewell from the companions.

   Without stopping, the carriage drove away from the street of the Holy Father, and the church gradually disappeared into the shadow of the buildings and the misty drizzle.

   Driving towards the east coast, even far from the busiest neighborhoods in Belfast, these fringe neighborhoods still see many people and carriages dragging their families to the port.

   Some are locals, and some are "smart people" who switched paths like Lu Li.

  The only difference is that when they approached the slum, they avoided the chaotic place far away, while Lu Li broke in directly.

   Unlike other streets where panic breeds, the slums have a strange and peaceful atmosphere, and people traveling or at home are no different from usual, as if today is just an ordinary day.

   After all, for most of the people here, leaving Belfast is too far for them.

   And the crises that come with the weird might be less terrifying to them than an empty cupboard.

   This peace lasted until Lu Li crossed the slum without any trouble.

   The atmosphere on the street became the same as outside the slums - panic, fear.

   The road ahead was mostly blocked by the police, and there were a few night watchmen in black uniforms among them.

  The source of the atmosphere change has been found.

   Here comes the weirdness.

   The slowly moving carriage bypassed the edge, and before leaving, the carriage gradually slowed down and stopped.

The reason    stopped the carriage was because Lu Li saw two familiar faces he had seen not long ago on the corpse that was being covered with white cloth.

   "What did you see?"

"What's wrong?"

   The question from Jojo and Fran came from the compartment behind him.

  Lu Li didn't answer their doubts. He took out the new badge in his pocket and showed it to a police officer walking towards the carriage: "Investigator Lu Li, what happened ahead."

   All police officers in the Belfast area recognize the badge, "Please wait a moment," the constable said, turning to call for the Night's Watch.

One after another corpses were carried out of the casino, and they all had the same characteristics: the upper part of the face was hollowed out, there were traces of being eaten, and they made vague screams, some died for a long time, some died Still lingering, the tongue that had lost its nasal cavity and exposed its tongue trembled horribly.

  A night watchman approached the carriage, saw the badge and said to Lu Li solemnly, "Your Excellency, an evil spirit has attacked here."

   The few survivors were unable to speak and could not be rescued, but many people almost saw the whole process.

A gloomy face walked into the Black Mamba casino not long ago, he won thousands of shillings, and was stopped by the casino when he wanted to leave - the locals knew that the money from the casino was never allowed to flow to the outside world, so they framed the student. The face stole the chips and let them open their stomachs for them to check. The raw face used another way to make them confirm: eating the upper part of the face of everyone in the casino, or around the eyeballs.

   It is making them see clearly in their stomachs.

   After doing all of this, the raw face walked out of the casino full of screams and blood, and soon disappeared into the distance.

It is worth noting that just ten minutes before this tragedy happened, the same thing happened in the Black Mamba Casino - two outsiders won thousands of shillings in the casino, and they were also harassed by the casino. Forced to open the stomach for examination.

   One of the out-of-towners did it so stupidly, he opened his stomach to prove his innocence, and the casino finally let them go. However, after the police and the night watchman arrived, they found their cold bodies in the alley outside the casino, which had lost their temperature for a long time.

"I see."

  Lu Li nodded, the night watchman went back to the casino to busy himself, and he also took the reins and bypassed the casino where dozens of people died.

   "It's those two people..." Anna whispered to herself.

  Aunt Mary and others were at a loss, but Lu Li and Anna had no sign of explaining, so they had to suppress their curiosity.

   On the way to the port, everyone in the carriage saw many similar scenes.

Passing through a park, there were several corpses covered with blood-stained white cloth lying in front of the benches beside the park. The carriage drove past, and they heard a frightened nearby resident trembling and saying: "At noon, I Seeing him and his family wandering the streets like ghosts from the basement window. He moved the park benches together and told the women to sit down and so did the kids. I didn't understand what he was going to do. Then he… …He shot his mother and son. The girl begged him not to kill her, but he pinned the **** the bench and shot her. Then he stepped aside, looked around, and fired The gun killed himself."

   On the edge of the park, many residents gathered, and an elderly man shouted: "Aren't you afraid of the darkness of the setting sun?"

   People replied: "Not afraid!"

"tell me why!"

   "Because the sun will rise as usual tomorrow!"

   On the streets of the coast, police officers were comforting a wet crewman, surrounded by several night watchmen.

   "Calm down sir, you are safe now. We are on land."

   "No, no! You don't know! They're in that fog!—Listen! They're coming! They're coming—"

The frantic cry of    came to an abrupt end, and the Night's Watch approached him to find that the sailor had been frightened to death with extreme terror.

The speed of the    carriage began to slow down, lining up in front of the congested port.

   The hustle and bustle of Rodster Harbour is just ahead.
