I seem to be an evil god

Three days later, uptown, cafe.

Japp came in from the door, greeted the attendant, and sat down opposite Poirot.

"How is the case you investigated?" Japp asked Poirot after taking a sip of coffee.

"The murderer of Mrs. Iris has been found. His method is not complicated. He is just disguising."

"Well," Japp interrupted Poirot's narration, "you should know that if there is no result in three days, I will arrest you, right?"

"This kind of arrest is inhumane and a frame-up of my character!"

Poirot was furious, while Japp just drank his coffee expressionlessly, "Just to remind you, I'm just a demon hunter, and the Demon Hunting Code stipulates what I can and cannot do."

"Hmph! I'm Poirot, and there's no case in the world that I can't solve."

Poirot shouted, packed up his clothes and left. Japp sat where he was. At this time, he could do nothing more than tell Poirot the Witcher Guild's decision.

Leaving the cafe, Poirot walked along the street. Three days ago, he solved the murderer of Iris at the Swan Lake restaurant and successfully helped the Duke of Monte Cristo hide the secret of his private meeting.

Everything was going well, but the next day, a trouble he didn't expect happened to him.

Find out why Marquis Akaba is cursed.

This matter should not have happened to him in the first place. Poirot knew very well that although he was a well-known detective, he was not yet worthy of being appointed by the Marquis. However, he guessed it with a turn of his clever head. reason.

Not bothering the two masters, the Grand Duke's friend turned into a monster is Marquis Akaba.

After thinking clearly about the reason, Poirot accepted the task without hesitation. In order to ensure the efficiency of his investigation, Poirot has now become one of the suspects in the case.

If the Marquis is not satisfied, the witcher will hunt him down.

‘Let’s go to the Marquis’ house to investigate first. ’

Poirot thought this and waved his hand to stop a carriage.

One day later, at the Dragon Blood Club, Mattes reported to Liu Dao.

"President, there are two people who have been snooping outside our headquarters recently. One of them is a somewhat famous detective. It is a bit troublesome to deal with it. Dillon would like to ask what you mean."

'A detective? ’, Liu Dao narrowed his eyes, remembering the hair he gave to the gods.

"Let them in and be polite." "Yes!"

Not long after, Poirot and Hastings were invited in. Hastings looked nervous and looked at Liu Dao with deep vigilance.

"Hello, two friends, please take a seat."

Poirot sat down unceremoniously and looked at Liu Dao seriously, "What do you want from us?"

"Actually, I also want to ask you this question. My people have seen you two wandering around outside recently."

Liu Dao didn't care about Poirot's attitude. At his level, he no longer bothered with offenses that did not harm his own interests.

"This may be your misunderstanding."

Hastings immediately started to explain, but Poirot interrupted him mid-sentence, "No, Hastings, there is no need for us to hide it."

"President Gaia, I am investigating a case under the order of Marquis Akaba, and the clues show that you are related to this case."

"Oh my God!"

Hearing what he said, Hastings immediately slapped his forehead. Mattas stood behind Liu Dao with a strange expression. He still remembered the name Marquis Akaba.

‘The president didn’t ask me to do anything? ’

Not mentioning Mateus' inner activities, Poirot kept talking and recounted all his investigations in the past two days in one breath, from the traces left at the scene of the Marquis Mansion to the animals around the mansion affected by shadow energy. Then there is the investigation of the Shadow Leopard Force in the intelligence market, the clues obtained by investigating the informants and the ultimate beneficiaries.

Finally, these conditions were organically connected by Poirot, reaching the final conclusion:

The Dragon Blood Society is the mastermind behind the curse on Marquis Red Leaf.

After the reasoning was over, Poirot looked at Liu Dao, "Do you have anything to refute my conclusion?"

Liu Dao smiled and did not answer, but asked: "Since you have already come to a conclusion, why didn't you inform the Marquis in advance? Instead, you snooped outside?"

"Because." Poirot stood up suddenly, raised the crutch in his hand with lightning speed, and stabbed Mattes who was standing aside. Hastings who was standing aside also moved in an instant, restraining Mattes from his side. Si's actions.

"I'm still lacking evidence."

Having said that, Poirot had already used his cane to pull out a strand of hair from Mats's arms, and took it to the tip of his nose to smell it, with a proud expression on his face.

"The smell of special cologne perfume. President Gaia, can you explain why there is a strand of hair hidden in the arms of your subordinates? And it also has the smell of special perfume that only the top nobles can use?"

"So, you were actually caught by me on purpose?"

Liu Dao did not answer Poirot's question, but asked with interest. Poirot stroked his mustache and smiled, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Yes, wonderful reasoning and heroic resourcefulness."

Liu Dao applauded lightly, "But have you forgotten one thing? This is the headquarters of the Dragon Blood Society. Do you think you can just walk out?"

"Haha, you are wrong about that."

Poirot smiled and took out a rune stone from his arms, "If you just admitted the crime, I have already recorded it in the rune stone. Just a thought can be passed to the Marquis. Now, do you still think I am wrong?"

"Okay, okay," Liu Dao laughed again and asked, "Since you didn't spread the news immediately, it seems that you want to negotiate terms with me?"

"As long as the Duke can recover, he probably won't care about the culprit."

Poirot's meaning was obvious, and Liu Dao naturally understood it. He lifted the curse of Marquis Akaba and let Poirot leave. Then Poirot would not tell Liu Dao that Liu Dao was the real murderer when he reported to the Marquis.

"A great deal, but it's a pity that you know so little."

"What do you mean?" Poirot had a bad feeling in his heart.

"What do you mean? What I mean is that you can report to the Marquis that I did it. You don't have to hold back. It doesn't matter if you tell them all."

Liu Dao smiled and said, "To ensure that you can see the Marquis smoothly, you can leave now. Don't worry, no one will stop you."

"You let us leave? Without any conditions?"

Poirot looked surprised, "Why?"

"If you really want to know, you can go and read the latest gossip in the newspaper. You may gain something. By the way, there is another reminder: Don't mention the hair issue when you meet the Marquis, because I can I guarantee that what Marquis Akaba is wearing on his head right now is definitely a wig."

After that, Liu Dao ordered people to send Poirot out. Watching Poirot leave with a confused look on his face, Liu Dao showed a helpless smile.

Since Marquis Chiye sent someone to negotiate terms, Liu Dao thought the curse was ineffective. Unexpectedly, the curse actually took effect, but Marquis Chiye didn't think about the Dragon Blood Society at all, and regarded the curse as the revenge of his enemy.

‘Kidnapping is also a technical job. ’

Liu Dao thought helplessly, but when Poirot returns and Marquis Chiye knows the truth, he will probably understand that all he wants is the corpses of the three masters.

Ignoring this episode, Liu Dao looked at Mattes.

"Are you all ready?"

While writing this chapter, I suddenly had the illusion that I had read it before and even played it once.

ps: The characters appearing in these two chapters have nothing to do with the famous detective Poirot written by the great Agatha Christie. They only appeared because I needed a detective supporting role and was too lazy to think of a name.
