Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 489 Sixty Six

  【Ah, why don't you act like a good child who listens to your mother and waits for my plan to be completed? 】

  【Look at what you have done... Poor old Rodney, his two sons just left him not long ago, and now you devil is going to take his life! 】

  【As a righteous and brave Belfast citizen, fighting crime is everyone's responsibility. I've already called the police. They should take you, the murderer, to the police station soon and bring him to justice. 】

The street behind    suddenly became a commotion, people screaming and running away from the strange fog, Lu Li's eyes moved away from the paper.

  A boy dressed as a newsboy was grabbed off the ground by an invisible force, waving his limbs and screaming in terror, floating towards the carriage.

   He is not Richard.

   "I'm an exorcist, and I want to ask something." Lu Li stared at the boy who was brought to him, and held up the letter: "Who asked you to send this letter."

   His fingers were stained with ink, the writing on the paper had not dried up, and it had not been long before the letter was written.

   After all, it was only ten minutes after Lu Li left the cemetery.

   "The monster let me down!"

  The boy seemed frightened, he closed his eyes and shouted and struggled, but did not hear Lu Li's calm words.

   "Let him calm down." Lu Li said.

  Anna is already doing it. Like those infected who turned into human pus, Anna imprisoned the boy's limbs, making him unable to do anything but breathe.

  The boy who was held hostage by fear finally opened his eyes, saw the calm Lu Li, and fell into a sluggishness.

   In the brief silence, Lu left the mouth: "I'm an exorcist—"

   His words were interrupted by the sound of loud footsteps approaching. Lu Li looked to see that in the fog a few dozen meters ahead, police officers rushed here, among them were the silhouettes of night watchmen in black uniforms.

   Richard really had to do it.

  Lu Li lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the unfinished content on the paper.

【This is what you deserve! 】

  【Only I can save everyone, and you are just a poor clown who failed to plunder the fruit, squatting in the cold and damp dungeon and counting the rest of your life! 】

   "Put him down."

   Folded the paper, Lu Li said to Anna, took out the investigator badge and looked at the surrounding police night watchman: "Senior investigator Lu Li is tracking a fugitive. He planned to frame me not long ago."

   "I know you."

   A police officer suddenly stood up, looking at Lu Li with surprise on his face: "I saw you at the port last night."

   With the testimony of his companions, Lu Li quickly cleared the suspicion.

A night watchman looked around Lu Li cautiously, and seemed to sense Anna's presence: "As you said, the police station received a call more than ten minutes ago, saying that the murderer killed an old man in the cemetery and is heading here. Come."

   was slightly silent, and Lu Li replied, "I killed him. He was parasitized by a strange creature."

   The night watchman had no doubts about Lu Li's words - exorcists would never doubt each other's quality, especially a senior investigator.

  Richard's conspiracy was useless, and it was even difficult to stop Lu Li for a few minutes. Or maybe Richard knew it, but his unstable sanity made it difficult for him to plan a finer and more refined plan.

  In any case, Richard has been cornered.

  The night watchman and the police officers returned to the police station, followed by Lu Li in the carriage.

   Now, he has some doubts to prove.

  The boy was quickly let go by Lu Li. He was just a newsboy. Richard found him a few minutes ago and gave him two shillings to send a letter and instructed Lu Li to be very dangerous and to run away immediately after putting down the letter.

   A few minutes later, Lu Li followed the police officers back to the police station and asked them to trace the address of the police number.

   The result came quickly, and the source of the number was a public phone booth in the Marseille neighborhood.

   does not coincide with doubt.

   Lu Li asked about the previous search of Richard's hiding place. Regarding the result of the phone call, the police station helped Lu Li contact the police station that handled the incident. After a short wait, the result emerged.

   After silently listening to the number coming from the microphone, Lu Li hung up the phone and walked out of the police station.

   The weird fog that enveloped the city finally showed signs of dissipating, and he could barely see half the length of the street.

   "Marcus is Richard."

   said Lu Li, who sat on the carriage.

   The aura around him was a little chaotic, and Anna's voice came out: "He has been following us all the time, and he knows our purpose."

"Um."

  Everything seems to be right. Marcus once said that he was arrested by the police, and that time was after Lu Li reported Richard's matter to the investigator's headquarters.

   "Unfortunately we know it too late." Anna said.

  Richard's phone was left in the hiding place and fell into the hands of the police station. It was difficult for Lu Li to contact him again unless he showed up.

   There is a certain possibility, no one knows what the mad Richard will do, after all, he is still using this kind of letter to threaten Lu Li's childish means, and...

   "Richard is running out of money." Lu Li said.

  Richard gave the newsboy a pitiful two shillings, a fee for barely driving the newsboy for a trip.

   Based on Lu Li's superficial understanding of Richard, he is not someone who intends to save, unless it is difficult to survive.

   "So we just have to go back to the detective agency and wait. Wait for him to show up, or to contact us as Marcus?"

   Thinking of the latter, it does seem like something Richard would do.

"Um."

  Now, Lu Li can only wait. Wait for Richard to take the initiative, or use a fake identity.

   Approaching the detective agency, Lu Li returned the carriage. Passing through the market, I spent more than a hundred shillings to buy enough meat and vegetables for two meals.

   All food prices have risen, and only brown bread has been reluctantly suppressed by the government within a range that can be afforded by civilians.

   But if it continues to deteriorate, the price of brown bread will inevitably rise soon, becoming a more desperate pressure than weirdness.

   And the deterioration is already like time, flowing steadily downstream, and the result is obvious.

   Walking through the gray and ruined streets, the faces of passers-by are not smiling, and Lu Li returned to the detective agency with a kraft paper bag.

  Anna, who appeared, floated into the kitchen with the ingredients, and after a while, the sound of making a fire came from inside.

  Lu Li stood by the bed, looking at the gray clouds, waiting for something.

   As time went by, the kitchen rumbling of boiling water and the smell of meat gradually came out. Anna, who learned to put condiments from Aunt Mary, became more and more proficient in cooking.

   The black cat had woken up, got out of the bedroom and jumped on the sofa, rubbed lightly on Lu Li's legs standing in front of the sofa, jumped onto the desk and licked his paws.

   Every once in a while, Lu Li would walk out of the longhouse, stand in the middle of the street and look around in all directions, returning to the detective agency without finding anything.

   Half an hour later, the food was ready, and Anna came to the living room with a boiling pot.

  Lu Li sat at the dining table, Anna gently poured the food into the wooden bowl.

  Everything is the same as before, as if it had not changed.
