Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 444 Twenty One. Farewell... Lennon Islands

   In the bay in the afternoon, there are ships waiting to enter the port floating on the lead-grey silent sea.

   A behemoth was docked at Port 3, and Lu Li arrived just in time.

   "Avitannis", one of the best choices of ocean-going ships across continents. The massive and strong steel hull is enough to give anyone who sees it an unparalleled sense of security and conquest of the vast ocean.

   "Damn it! Chris, let that idiot pull the carriage aside! Animals can't be on board!"

  The port was crowded with people waiting in line. A crew member squeezed through the crowd and walked past the carriage where Lu Li was holding his hat and shouting loudly.

   Jojo looked back at the window, and the passing crew member stopped the passengers who were leading the carriage to the loading area and said something loudly.

   "It's so lively..."

  Jojo whispered to herself, the last time I saw such a scene was many years ago when the Queen of the Lennon Islands visited the Ellen Peninsula, people flooded the streets and enthusiastically waved at the gorgeous carriage drawn by eight pure white horses.

  Lu Li looked around the crowd, and saw the night watchman on the edge.

  As a place where people gather in large numbers, they have a responsibility to prevent weirdness from appearing here.

   Looking back, Lu Li drove the carriage to the carriage shop at the port and returned it. The group merged into the crowd of people at the port and waited for the ticket check.

  The crowd is divided into three boarding points according to the ticket class. The ticket that Lu Li bought was a second-class cabin, which was located on the deck. Slightly inferior to first class, stronger than last class.

  First class is the only choice for the nobles and the rich. They have the right to board the ship in advance, and the items they bring are taken to the loading area by the butler servants.

  Last class passengers make up the vast majority of the people waiting to check in on the harbour, and under the deck, there are small and closed multi-person cabins.

  The passengers in the second class are all middle class like Lu Li. Most of them are doctors, lawyers or businessmen and are not eligible to stay in the first class. However, there are also some who choose last class - today's last class ticket has almost been fired for nearly a thousand shillings.

   "We haven't bought tickets yet... Is it okay?" In the queue, Jojo asked cautiously.

   "Second-class cabins can bring family members, but they have to bear the extra ticket price." And Lu Li had three tickets - the extra one was for Anna's good friend Daisy.

   "How much is the ferry ticket?" Jojo took off her backpack and planned to pay for the ferry ticket along with Fran.

   She probably knew the ticket at the moment, and all the money on her body should be barely enough.

  Aunt Mary held her down lightly and shook her head. Qiaoqiao stopped and looked at Lu Li, who had not turned her head, and slowly picked up her backpack.

After the    refuge point was abandoned, the shilling became a number for Lu Li.

   Especially the harvest of the Shadow Town incident, the accumulated investigation points can be converted into shillings, which can turn Lu Li's family property into hundreds of thousands of shillings in an instant——

  The crowd was waiting for the ticket check. At a certain moment, a gust of sea breeze blew, bringing a slightly familiar voice.

"...Captain Rollin regretfully told me that there were no more first-class tickets. He said that Viscount Stan was willing to share the room with me. How could I promise that ugly dead fat pig, but I went to the Lennon Islands in recent days. The first-class tickets were all gone, so I had to buy a second-class ticket and huddle with these poor… guys.”

  Looking at the Avitannis, Lu Li withdrew his gaze and looked back.

  The lady who met at Shymfast and Baron Joseph's Manor was in a row and complained to the butler.

   It seemed that doing so would ease the embarrassment of a poor noble like her standing in this line.

"is her……"

  Anna recognized this woman whom she had met for the third time.

"Um."

   Nodding lightly, Lu Li retracted his gaze and looked at the big ship in front of the port again.

The lady who complained    also didn't find the man she met a few times not far away.

  After waiting for a while, the bridge on the cruise dropped and the ticket check began.

   "Are there only three tickets?" the crew member asked politely, looking at the three people behind Lu Li.

   "We will buy extra tickets for extra people."

   "Okay, welcome to the Avitannis." The crew returned the tickets, watched them walk on the bridge, and continued to check the next passenger's ticket.

   The teak deck in the drizzle turned dark brown, and the silence on the deck was quickly replaced by the rush of passengers. They put down their luggage and went back to the deck to wave goodbye to their family and friends on the shore.

   In the second-class suite, Qiao Qiao, who put down her luggage, looked at Lu Li.

   "Let's go shopping," said Lu Li, who understood her thoughts.

   "I'll be back before the boat sails!" Jojo couldn't wait to open the door and ran out, and then she seemed to bump into someone, and an apology sounded from outside the corridor.

  Click——

  The door was closed, followed by a knock.

  Ana waved her hand to open the door, revealing a crew member.

   "Is Miss Anna here?" He looked at Lu Li and said politely, "Here is her letter."

  Aunt Mary looked beside Lu Li suspiciously, Lu Li frowned and said, "Who sent it."

  Anna is a wraith and has never shown her face. How could anyone know that she is here.

"I have no idea."

  Lu Li took the letter, closed the door, and handed it to Anna who had emerged.

  Anna opened the envelope, her scarlet eyes fell on the paper, and after a long pause, she folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope.

   "Who is it?" Lu Li asked.

   "It's from Daisy, nothing." Anna said.

  Anna is very bad at lying, Lu Li silently watched her for a few seconds, looked away, and said nothing.

   This letter did not dispel everyone's ease of leaving the dangerous place, until Jojo returned to the suite, half an hour before the Avitannis was offshore, and the door was knocked again.

  The crew sent a letter again, this time, the recipient was Lu Li.

   Under everyone's attention, Lu Li unfolded the letter, and then his figure remained still for a while.

   "I'm afraid I can't go with you." After more than ten seconds, Lu Li's eyes moved away from the letter. "There are things that need to be dealt with right away."

   His eyes finally fell on Anna's illusory figure, but before saying anything, Anna had already answered: "Where are you going, where am I going."

   She knew that Lu Li would not do meaningless things, something must have happened.

"Can--"

  Aunt Mary stopped the puzzled Jojo, didn't ask what happened, just asked: "Will you go to the Lennon Islands after the deal?"

"maybe."

   "Wait for me then."

  Aunt Mary said, went into the bedroom to open the suitcase, and handed Lu Li a deed: "This is the deed, and there are some cans stored in the basement there."

  Lu Li took the deed and nodded.

  Qiaoqiao also turned around and ran to the bedroom, found Lu Li's luggage, and returned to the living room with the ignorant Fran, placing it at Lu Li's feet.

   She stood on tiptoe and hugged Lu Li gently, backed away from the diffuse coldness, and said goodbye to Lu Li.

   "We are waiting for you in the Lennon Islands."
