Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 433 Ten. The Eve of Parting

  Belfast is festive today.

  The misty bluestone streets are full of carriages and pedestrians. Even if the air is drizzled by the choking smell of burning wood that cannot be washed away by the drizzle, you can still vaguely see the lively harbour crowded with boats in the bay.

  Belfast and Shymfast are both "Fast" cities, but Shymfast is difficult to compare with in terms of population and landscape.

   Just reading the back of the mountain, looking down from the top of the mountain, the houses and streets extending down in an orderly manner, the crescent-shaped bay and the vast sea beyond are enough to be amazing.

   The carriages and carriages in front of them opened the curtains one after another, overlooking the scenery and marveling at the prosperity of Belfast.

  The last prosperity.

   Driving into Belfast, the carriages with different purposes dissipated, but more of them were still in the convoy, heading for the destination of Rodster Port for most people.

  The two carriages in front of Lu Li turned towards the Onyx Lake, the wind lifted the curtains, and a lady in the carriage was covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, showing disgust.

   She is indeed going to Baron Joseph's manor.

   After half an hour, Lu Li returned to the familiar Sailor Street.

   The storm dissipated yesterday afternoon. After the newspaper published the news that the next storm would be in two or three days, the residents living in the wooden houses couldn't wait to remove the wooden slats that blocked the windows, pushed open the windows, and tried to disperse the damp and rotten wood in the houses in the rainy weather. smell.

  The carriage stopped in front of the longhouse, Lu Li, Aunt Mary, and Anna, who was hiding, got off the carriage, nodded to the familiar faces who were eagerly greeting, and walked into the dark corridor behind the door.

   Two days have passed, and the longhouse seems to have not changed except for the sandbags removed in front of the door.

   The severe rotting smell of the wooden corpse made Aunt Mary uncomfortable. Most of the doors on the promenade were closed, and it seemed that no one was there. She followed Lu Li to a wooden door: "Do you live in this environment..."

   "And in the forest on the mountain." Anna whispered in the air.

   Crouching in front of the carpet to take the copper key, Lu Li suddenly tilted his head slightly.

   A plush doll was sitting beside the door, with two buttons as eyes, and patches on his body, but there was still a corner of black cotton padding.

   An envelope stood beside the stuffed toy.

   picked up the envelope, Lu Li stood up, inserted the copper key, and answered Aunt Mary's surprise: "We've always been short of money."

  Squeak——Wow——

   The damp and swollen wooden door rubbed against the floor, marking rainbow-like marks.

   Surprisingly, the imagined rich rotten smell did not pour into the corridor.

The    was originally next to the hanger behind the door, but now sits in the wooden chair behind the desk. The sculpture shows who is responsible.

  Aunt Mary also saw the female sculpture sitting in the prominent position, but she thought it was placed there on purpose by Lu Li, so she didn't think much about it.

   Until Anna, who emerged, said softly, "Are we going to take the statue away?"

  Lu Li didn't answer. He walked to the desk and stared straight at the wooden chair, which was exquisite and beautiful, but without color scheduling: "We are leaving here for the Lennon Islands, what is your choice?"

   There was no response for a long time, Lu Li turned his head to tell Anna and Aunt Mary not to look at the sculpture, went around the desk, took out the notebook from the drawer and tore off two pages.

   One says to stay, one says to leave.

   closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened it, the attached pale and colorless arm pointed to stay.

   "Okay. It doesn't want to leave us."

  Lu Li rounded up the two pieces of paper and threw them into a clean trash can.

He opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and read it quickly, then turned around and said to Anna and Aunt Mary: "Anna, let's go to Elm Forest, Remy and Jimmy have already arrived. After returning, go to Tesla's mansion to say goodbye, then finish the trivial matters, go to harbor."

   Such as selling the detective agency and going to the investigator base to get a new container that can hold the psychic gun.

   Lu Li doesn't know many people, so he doesn't need to spend too long to say goodbye.

   "Tesla Mansion... Am I going too?" Anna was still not used to showing her face in front of others.

  Lu Li looked at Anna and said, "Mrs. Tesla has wanted to see you for a long time. She is just like you. Before leaving, it is best to see her once."

   And he had to know how things were going about "The Door" and "Richard."

   If possible, it is best to settle it before leaving Belfast in the evening.

   "Yeah." Anna agreed.

  Lu Li said to Aunt Mary again: "The ticket will be delivered soon. Please stay here to sign for the ticket and wait for us to return."

  Aunt Mary nodded, and asked with some embarrassment: "Am I going to be with...the statue...Miss?"

   She is just an ordinary person after all.

   "The statue is harmless, you don't have to worry about it."

   Lu Li replied, but her words reminded Lu Li.

   They are leaving Belfast, how should the sculptures that do not want to leave be arranged?

Lu Li bent down and took out the two pieces of paper in the trash, unfolded the crumpled paper and put it back on the table: "We are leaving, you can choose to live in a shelter, Anna's sister is also there. Or I will contact you. Syndicate, send you back to Benjamin.

   "Leave the delegate to the refuge."

After    opened and closed his eyes again, the statue chose to go to the refuge.

  Lu Li turned around and said to Anna, "Take it and let's go."

   left the detective agency with the sculpture and returned to the carriage. Lu Li, who was wearing a poncho, picked up the reins.

   Just as he was about to leave, eager shouts rang out in the horseshoes.

   "Mr. Lu Li! Please wait... Please wait!"

   A gorgeous carriage was approaching, and the woman leaning out of the carriage shouted to him.

   Lu Li remembered her, the head maid of Baron Joseph's house.

Quietly waited until the carriage came to his side, the head maid bowed slightly and told Lu Li, "Finally, when you come back, the baron will leave Belfast soon. Today is the last day of the farewell banquet. The baron told me to call you there. Say it's important."

   "She's going to the Lennon Islands?" Lu Li asked.

   The head maid knew the relationship between the man in front of him and the baron, and didn't hide it: "The baron will go to the sanctuary built by the exorcists."

   Surprisingly, Lu Li thought that Baron Joseph would go to the Lennon Islands—the Lennon Islands should be more suitable for the rich and aristocrats than the underground shelters that do not see the sun.

   Even waiting for death to come, there will be more dignity there.

   "When will it start?" Lu Li asked.

   "Go back to your Excellency, the banquet will start at 12 noon."

   "Tell the Baron I'll be there."

  The time is too late, and the Baron Manor and Tesla Mansion are both on the shore of Onyx Lake, so you can drop by.

   "Then I'll tell the baron, she'll be delighted with your presence."

  The head maid said goodbye to Lu Li, and turned the carriage to leave.

  Lu Li retracted his gaze, pulled the reins, and drove in the opposite direction from where the head maid left, the carriage gradually disappeared into the morning mist.
