In this world, there are wolves and people, but there are no werewolves.
The blood-colored moonlight penetrated the glass, and a choking mist enveloped the entire venue. The werewolf with long silver-white hair on his body and eyes full of blood held Count Mintz's head, with blood stains on his mouth.
Everyone's blood seemed to be solidified. They forgot to escape or call for help. The terrifying aura exuded by the werewolves combined with the smell of blood, nailing these nobles to the spot.
"Heh~~"
Not human-like, but with a deep mocking growl came from the werewolf's throat. He walked among the crowd. These nobles who had been crucified by coercion stared at the werewolf with eyes full of fear, like prey sentenced to death, waiting for a fate that they could not escape.
The werewolf stood on a high platform, where he could see everyone in the entire venue. This was built by Duke Mintz, the owner of this hotel. He believes that the banquet he holds should be the focus of everyone. Only by standing on a high place can he reflect his identity.
Now, his head took his place, looking down at everyone.
"Those who dare to touch the gospel..."
The werewolf threw the dead head onto the high platform, raised his feet, and fell heavily.
White and green condensation stained the face of the nearest nobleman. He looked at the werewolf's claws blankly, and his eyes lost all brilliance. It was obvious that he had gone crazy.
"They will all die like him."
Accompanied by a wolf howl that penetrated the sky, the werewolf arched his head and glanced at everyone coldly.
After releasing his hand covering Eluma, Zhou Li looked at the werewolf who retreated into the shadows and disappeared into the darkness, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Aren't you going to keep it?"
Eluma, who was automatically filtered by the bloody scene, couldn't see ahead, so she could only lean next to Zhou Li and ask in a low voice.
"Need not."
Zhou Li asked Eluma to step back a little, and then he snapped his fingers, and the black mist rolled up a bunch of wolf hair and put it into Zhou Li's hand. Afterwards, Zhou Li signaled Eluma to wait where he was and stepped forward.
The current crowd had just come out of the fear that the werewolf had brought to them. Cries gradually began to sound, and the disgusting smell gradually spread into the venue. At this time, the door sealed by an unknown force was opened, and a group of soldiers wearing red and gold armor poured into the hall, quickly maintaining order on the scene.
"Don't panic. Please stay where you are. Medical experts and defenders will be here soon. Please stay calm."
The leading soldier shouted in a loud voice. After he found that the venue was still noisy and disorderly, he pulled out the long sword at his waist, waved his right hand, and a peaceful sword intent swept across the entire venue. In an instant, the nobles calmed down and stopped running around.
"I am the captain of the third detachment of the Knights Templar, Roya. Please stay calm, stay where you are, and do not move or talk arbitrarily. I repeat..."
When these nobles heard the name of the soldier, the anger and resentment that had been suppressed were swept away, replaced by a sense of relief with a hint of fear.
After the Templar name was revealed, the entire venue stabilized, and Captain Roja breathed a sigh of relief. But soon, after hearing the report from the soldiers on the side, a solemn look appeared on Captain Roja's face.
This time the attack was very sudden, and the timing was hard to fathom. The most serious thing is that although there is only one deceased this time, the identity of the deceased can cause a major earthquake in Yingnan.
Evangelist—Duke Mintz.
"That man, what are you doing?!"
Just when Roja was about to urge the doctors and defenders, he caught a glimpse of a man from the corner of his eye. He immediately swept away his sword energy and shouted angrily: "Don't get close to the corpse! Stop what you are doing!"
"Ah."
Zhou Li stretched out his hand, grasped the sword energy without killing intent, and crushed it with force while the soldiers were stunned. He turned around and looked at Captain Roja who was not far away. His voice was unhurried and unhurried: "This captain, the perpetrator who killed Duke Mintz left clues at the scene. The duration of this clue is very short. Once you miss this time, re-investigation will consume a lot of material and financial resources."
"Who are you?"
Roja did not question. He frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice: "Stand where you are and answer my question."
Zhou Li smiled slightly, took off his hat, performed a standard English-Southern gentleman's courtesy, and introduced himself elegantly:
"Hello, my name is Folds. I am a brilliant detective from Newt. You can just call me Afu."
After hearing that Zhou Li was a brilliant-level detective, Luo Ya's expression softened a bit. After taking a look at Zhou Li's leather gloves and shoes, he asked, "Where is your ID?"
"Unfortunately, this is a private dance, and many people are not prepared to carry the cumbersome and heavy ID cards."
Zhou Li looked at Luo Ya's frown and continued calmly: "But I entered the dance party openly from the main entrance. You can ask..."
Zhou Li glanced around and easily found the attendant who let him into the ball: "Sir, have you ever received me?"
"right."
The attendant looked at Zhou Li, nodded and responded.
"I know you are panicking and scared right now."
Zhou Li perfectly interpreted the image of a standard British-Southern gentleman and consoled him in a gentle tone: "None of us can predict this unexpected situation, but the responsibility is no longer on you, my friend. Now you only need to answer Just ask the officer a question, tell him who I am, and then you can go back home, take a nice hot bath, lie in bed and forget about this nightmare."
"Ok, thank you."
The attendant cast a grateful look at Zhou Li, then he thought for a moment and said firmly to Roja beside him: "Sir, this gentleman is indeed a special guest privately invited by Sir Mintz."
"okay."
Roja asked the attendant to leave here doubtfully, but he did not fully believe the attendant's words. He looked at Zhou Li and said to him: "I can buy you three minutes. During this period, I have to watch you operate the whole process, okay?"
"no problem."
Zhou Li shrugged calmly, then turned around and walked towards the Mintzberg beach.
"It's okay, everything is over."
He walked up to the noble whose face was splashed with residue, patted his shoulder gently, and said pleasantly: "Foldes, I, the detective, will help you, have a good rest."
The stupid string was connected, and the nobleman walked back in a daze, and sat down on the ground, making room for Zhou Li.
Luo Ya walked to Zhou Li and stared at his every move. Zhou Li didn't feel any panic or discomfort. He very professionally took out a pair of disposable white gloves from his pocket and put them on his hands. He leaned down and began to inspect the filth.
"It looks like Sir Mintz is dead."
After blowing out a breath of "smoke", Zhou Li made an accurate judgment. Roya on the side was in a daze for a moment, then nodded convinced: "You are right."
"Based on the condition of the body, there should be a murderer at work."
Zhou Li handed the pipe to Luo Ya and motioned for him to take it for him. Then he took out a bunch of wolf hair from the filth and said in wonder: "In my opinion, this wolf hair should be the clue left by the murderer."
"As expected of a great detective, you discovered all this."
A look of reverence appeared on Luo Ya's face. He held Zhou Li's pipe tightly, completely unaware of the black mist in his nose.
"In general, it's just a bit of craftsmanship."
Zhou Li smiled and was modest, then he took out a plastic bag for storing evidence, put the wolf fur in it, sealed it, handed it to Roja, and said to him: "Keep it, this is a crucial piece of evidence. .”
"No problem, Detective Folds."
In a daze, Luo Ya handed the pipe to Zhou Li. Zhou Li took off his white gloves and put them aside, then turned around and walked towards Eluma.
Looking at Zhou Li's back, Luo Ya glanced at the evidence in his hand, and then sighed softly:
"What an excellent detective."
"What's up with him?"
Just now, Roja had his back turned to everyone, and he did not turn around when he was taking the pipe and evidence. Therefore, only Eluma noticed that something was wrong with Roja. Zhou Li put the pipe into his pocket and said to Eluma calmly:
"This kid has been deceived by me."
In fact, Zhou Li's move just now was very risky. Roja himself is a brilliant-level Templar, a profession with inherently high-strength mental resistance. If Zhou Li hadn't been prepared, the wolf hair and pipe would have been filled with black mist. Through the guidance, Roja turned his back to everyone and directly invaded Roja's mind with black mist, quietly distorting his thoughts.
Soon, a professional emergency team entered the venue from the gate. Medical staff and maintenance personnel quickly brought the entire hall under control and conducted detailed surveys and searches. Of course, the Templars also began to check and confirm everyone present.
"No need for this one."
When the Templars were about to investigate Zhou Li and Eluma, Roya walked over and said to them kindly: "Mr. Folds, and this Ms. Hua Shen, you can go back first." Go to your own residence. We will contact you if necessary. Thank you both for your support and cooperation in our work."
"This is what a British-Southern citizen should do."
Zhou Li nodded in thanks, and Eluma on the side also saluted, as elegant and beautiful as a bauhinia flower. Roja's eyes stayed on Eluma for a moment, and then continued to say to Zhou Li: "Mr. Folds has done a good job in emergency measures. I will report it. I believe Yingnan will give you generous rewards." reward."
"That's not necessary."
Zhou Li shook his head with a smile and rejected Luo Ya's kindness, "However, I have another matter that I hope Captain Luo Ya can give a little help to."
"Speaking."
"It's like this. The main purpose of my coming to Jordan this time is to open a detective agency. You also know that Newt people are generally violent, and it is difficult for detectives to be effective in the face of gunfire. I have always heard that The people in Jordan are simple and hospitable, so I hope to use my abilities here to create a good social environment for everyone."
"Oh? Then you are really right."
Luo Ya, who didn't hear Zhou Li's weirdness at all, or that he had been deceived, smiled and said to Zhou Li: "Jordan welcomes every professional to come and looks forward to your contribution."
"But I have a small request and need the captain's help."
Zhou Li's emotions were conveyed very well and he changed quickly. The middle-aged man with worry hidden under his polite appearance appeared instantly.
"I don't need material rewards. I just hope that your government can add my name when the official newspaper reports this matter. It doesn't need to be too much, just once."
******************************************
After returning to the hotel, Zhou Li took off his coat, put his cane in the stick, and slumped down on the sofa, letting out a long sigh.
"So, what are you doing this for?"
Eluma also took off her coat and sat next to Zhou Li. She gently wiped away the wrinkles on her skirt and asked Xiang Zhouli curiously: "What are we going to do next?"
"In fact, what just happened was not in my plan."
Zhou Li sighed, and then he stretched out his hand, and wolf hair appeared in his palm. "At first, I wanted to contact Count Mintz to see if I could get information about the gospels from him. Who knew that someone suddenly appeared A werewolf appeared and killed Count Mintz, which directly disrupted all my arrangements."
"What now?"
Eluma stretched out her hand and smoothed Zhou Li's frown. Zhou Li thought for a while and said:
"Just now I pretended to be a detective to handle the case and controlled Roja for our current identities. With Roja's endorsement, at least Folds and Hua Shen can continue to pretend for a while. The most important thing for us now is to find out this Werewolf identity.”
"This is not easy to handle."
A trace of worry appeared in Eluma's eyes, "Jordan... We don't have many acquaintances and no connections. It's difficult to find out the identity of the werewolf."
"Not necessarily."
Zhou Li suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said to Eluma: "Do you think I am going to follow the British detective style, trace the source through numerous clues, investigate and collect evidence, and finally reveal the truth about the werewolf?"
"Although they are all Ah Fu, using evidence to solve cases is Holmes' specialty."
"I am Foldes, nicknamed Black Tiger Afu."
He stretched out his hand, and black mist appeared on the silver wolf fur.
"This werewolf had a black fog appearance effect, and I just happened to hit it."
Zhou Li smiled coldly. Just when the blood moon rose, the black mist shrouded the world, and the werewolf appeared, Zhou Li quietly merged the black mist with the power of the Black Emperor into the mist.
At that time, the werewolf who was just trying to intimidate everyone didn't notice that an imperceptible layer of black mist was constantly surging on his hair, as if it was echoing something.
With the sword of power looming in his hand, Zhou Li, wearing a white shirt and leather military boots, tightened his collar, then stood up and kicked open the door to the room.
"Now, I want to show them how I, Black Tiger Afu, handles cases!"
