"this……"
Faced with the topic of the second-grade disease that hit his face and was extremely concentrated, Zhou Li was stuck in his shell for a while and didn't know what to say.
"You're famous~"
Eluma on the side obviously did not gloat, but said this to Zhou Li very happily. If another person said this, it would be pure yin and yang.
Zhou Li sighed, put away the newspaper, put it aside and wiped his face with his hands, "Don't tell me, this Luo Ya has really fulfilled his promise."
It's just that the execution was a bit harsh.
"Actually, I'm curious about something, Zhou Li."
Eluma sat down on the chair, her slender calves swaying slightly, curling up a white halo, "What I thought at the time was that you would find the werewolf and ask him about the whereabouts of the Gospels. But why did you do this?"
Zhou Li knew that Eluma was referring to the unusual way he picked up a military vehicle and smashed it into the villa yesterday. Zhou Li leaned on the back of the lounge chair. The fog in Jordan made it difficult for the sun to fall, so everything was gray. Zhou Li on the balcony leaned against the gray space and explained:
"This is Yingnan."
"Yingnan?"
Facing Zhou Li's answer, Eluma was a little confused. Zhou Li did not become the Riddler. He smiled and said with emotion:
"Here, I don't have Magnum's advance layout."
In Magnum, Zhou Li relied on the memory of his previous life and the power exclusive to the brave to create one perfect plan after another. These plans echoed and overlapped each other, and finally became Zhou Li's weapon against the Magnum nobles and the two gods of Death and Life.
However, Yingnan is different.
In his previous life, Zhou Li didn't set foot in this land much. In addition to the fact that this place is an island country, Torea has no interest in it, and the twelve cards of the Kingdom of God are no longer in this country. Therefore, Zhou Li came to Yingnan only a handful of times in his previous life, and all he knew about Yingnan was from his comrades in the mortal coalition forces.
He did not know the interests and hobbies of the Yingnan king, nor did he know the differences between these Yingnan nobles and the Magnum nobles. There is no Dusk Forest here for him to serve as an outpost, nor is there a force that he can trust enough to seek help from. Zhou Li, who came to Yingnan, was like a traveler entering the fog. He could only move according to the times step by step.
"If it was Magnum, I would have kept this werewolf."
Zhou Li picked up Yingnan's black tea and took a sip, looking slightly tired. "Yingnan's upper class is not so much aristocrats as it is a group of capitalists who control resources. This group of people does not pay attention to their origins and bloodlines. They only talk about interests and Money. Here, the royal family is just a symbol and has no real power."
Seeing Eluma's confused look on the side, Zhou Li smiled, then stretched out his hand, and the black mist condensed into a pyramid shape and appeared in front of the two of them.
"This is Magnum."
Zhou Li moved his right hand slightly, and the top of the pyramid glowed slightly, "This is the king. As long as I can control him to a certain extent, I can gain great power in the country of Magnum."
"But Yingnan is different."
The pyramid turned into an inverted trapezoid, with a shimmering light at the top. "The rights of Yingnan are scattered in the hands of various businessmen or military officers. They all have their own strong capital to support the rights in their hands. The royal family is in their eyes." It’s more of a joke. So I can’t take these scattered rights into my own hands in a short period of time.”
"If I bring the werewolf back, first of all, I don't know if I can get the knowledge I want in a short time, because neither you nor I are professional interrogators. Secondly, there must be a force behind the werewolf. If we leave it here rashly, we are likely to be attacked by a double attack from the British and Southern governments and hidden forces."
"Oh~"
Hearing this, Eluma understood what Zhou Li meant, she stretched out her finger and tapped her forehead, and then said with enlightenment: "So if you hand over the werewolf to the Yingnan government, the forces behind the werewolf will definitely not give up. "
"But I must personally hand over the werewolf to the Yingnan government, otherwise it will make no sense."
Zhou Li ruffled Eluma's hair and added with a slight smile: "Guess why this is the case?"
Eluma frowned, lowered her head, and her lips and chin outlined a perfect line. After a moment, Eluma seemed to have thought of something, and raised her head, her eyes shining like stars, "Because only you have your own hands." Hand the werewolf over to the Yingnan government, and the forces behind the werewolf will pay attention to you."
"Yes, but there's one more thing."
Zhou Li tilted his head, as if waiting for something. Soon, Zhou Li closed the newspaper in his hand and said with a smile: "Only when the forces behind the werewolf pay attention to me, the Yingnan government will choose to protect me."
"Meanwhile, let me in."
Boom, boom, boom.
As soon as Zhou Li finished speaking, a gentle knock on the door interrupted their conversation. A standard business smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Li's face. He got up and strolled to the door of the room. He asked loudly: "Hello, who is that?"
"Mr. Foldes, I am Roya, captain of the third branch of the Knights Templar. We have met."
Luo Ya's voice came from outside the door, but Zhou Li did not rush to open the door. Instead, he asked: "Captain Luo Ya, when did you pay me back the twelve gold coins you borrowed last time?"
"ah?"
There was a doubtful voice outside the door. After Zhou Li heard the doubtful voice, he pushed the door open with a smile. As expected, standing outside the door was none other than Roya in military uniform.
"Mr. Roja, of course you don't owe me any money. This is just a small precaution on my part. Please forgive me if I offend you."
After hearing Zhou Li's words, Luo Ya suddenly realized, "Ah, you have noticed it?"
"It's natural to be vigilant when going out. What's more, after meeting a werewolf, a thing that only exists in mystery, a professional like me will inevitably become more suspicious."
Hearing this, a look of admiration suddenly appeared on Roja's face. In fact, Zhou Li had noticed through the black mist in Luo Ya's body as early as when Luo Ya came downstairs of the hotel. Those so-called warnings were all just to fool him.
"Your vigilance is completely necessary. In addition to thanking you, I also have news to inform you."
After being invited into the house by Zhou Li, Luo Ya sat on the sofa with a very upright posture. After pouring two cups of black tea for the two of them, Eluma sat next to Zhou Li and waited obediently for the two to talk.
"You have a very good relationship with your assistant."
Seeing the two people next to each other, Roja teased with a slight smile, and then took a sip of black tea. This is a standard social etiquette in England and South China, and is used to build relationships between each other. After the necessary social etiquette, Roja put down the tea cup and got straight to the point.
"Detective Folds, we got some news early this morning."
Roja leaned forward slightly with a very serious expression, "Count Asman, who was related to Fuyoshu, was killed last night. The time was exactly the same as Duke Mintz's murder, except that Count Asman was killed in his bedroom. .”
"What's the cause of death?"
Zhou Li's inquiry was also expected by Luo Ya. He took out a photo from the device beside him and handed it to Zhou Li and said to him: "The blood was sucked dry from all over the body. When we found the body, it was already dead." Complete mummy state."
Zhou Li put down this unacceptable photo of the mummy, then pushed away the curious little head and asked Roja: "If my guess is correct, there were also witnesses to Count Asman's death, right?"
"Yes, you're right."
Roja nodded, admiring Zhou Li's professional ability very much: "The mistress and servants of the deceased all claimed that they saw an evil ghost with flesh wings killing the earl. The evil ghost seemed to be discovered deliberately and stayed for a while. Time allowed others to see his appearance clearly."
Luo Ya took out a portrait again and handed it to Zhou Li, "This is a portrait extracted from the memory of an eyewitness by a brilliant-level painter and mental manipulator. It is at least 80% similar."
"good."
Zhou Li, who had long been accustomed to the world's unscientific but magical criminal investigation methods, took the portrait, and a standard vampire face appeared in front of the curious little head and Zhou Li.
Red eyes, dark circles, pale and bloodless skin. The two fangs are exposed, and the veins around his mouth are particularly ferocious.
"Have you investigated this person's identity?"
Zhou Li put down the portrait and asked Xiang Luo Ya.
"No, Yingnan's household registration system is very complete. Our mechanical instructor has checked all the foreign or local people and has not found a similar face to him. According to the analysis, this person is likely to be a smuggler."
"At the same time, we have a problem."
Luo Ya frowned and said to Zhou Li: "We can't identify the werewolf at all. Because the villa is an ownerless property, we can't trace its origins. Our interrogators also tried interrogation, but to no avail. We didn't get anything at all. Useful information."
After saying this, Luo Ya seemed to sense something. He said hello to Zhou Li and took out a communicator from his waist and put it to his ear. Not long after, Roja put down the communicator and his expression darkened.
"Mr. Zhou Li, we just got some information."
"Hillary, the boss of Novi Minerals, was killed in public during a staff meeting at seven o'clock today. The assailant was a weirdo wrapped in bandages. He hung Hillary from the ceiling and wrapped the bandages around Hillary's body. body, and then burned her to death with flames.”
Ha, that’s interesting.
Zhou Li leaned on the back of the sofa and said thoughtfully: "Werewolf, vampire, bandage weirdo..."
"This is an organization."
"Now it seems that you need our protection."
Roja looked at Zhou Li and said solemnly: "I know Hillary. She will always have a brilliant guardian beside her to protect her. Duke Mintz also has two shadow assassins and a guardian knight. Protection, Count Asman is no exception. If these three monsters belong to the same organization, then the power behind this organization should be very terrifying."
"Of course I don't mind the government's protection of citizens, but as a brave man said, I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid thieves will miss me. If this organization really targets me, I can't hide under the government's control all my life. not to mention……"
Zhou Li glanced at Eluma, who was watching the case analysis attentively. He chuckled and said to Roja: "I am not made of steel. I have my own weaknesses."
"I understand."
Luo Ya nodded, then he took out another piece of paper and placed it in front of Zhou Li.
"So, I made suggestions to my superiors."
Zhou Li picked up the piece of paper, with the emblem of the God of Justice clearly engraved on it, and a standard contract appeared in front of Zhou Li's eyes.
"This is an external contract. We want to hire you to assist the Templars in solving these three monsters and the organizations behind them. During this period, we will provide all-round protection for you and your assistants, and will also We will provide you with all the support and assistance from the Templars and the police. At the same time, we will provide you with all the details about this case and help you make deductions and solve the case."
"When the incident is over, or you want to unilaterally terminate the external employment, we will evaluate your role in the case and reward you accordingly. Please rest assured that the Yingnan government will not treat anyone with meritorious deeds badly. "
After introducing the contract, Luo Ya took a look at Zhou Li's expression and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he had no clear intention to refuse. After all, the profession of detective is very unique, and few high-level detectives would choose to join the government. In previous cases, when these detectives heard about joining the government, they were either disdainful or enthusiastic, and then left alone to try to solve the case.
As a result, most of the detectives were killed by criminals with fighting professions, and their heads were thrown away.
"Thank you very much and the Jordanian government for your trust."
Zhou Li put down the contract and said to Roja: "However, I want to modify a regulation."
Zhou Li put down the contract, pointed to the clause "During the period of employment, Folds is not allowed to open a private detective agency", and said to Roja: "I want to gain a foothold here. This period is when I started my career in Yingnan." Reputation is very important at this time. I hope you can consider amending this regulation. Of course, I will accept the entrustment without affecting the case, and this can be handed over to you for review."
"There is no problem with this. You are a temporary external employee. It doesn't matter if this regulation is added or not."
Luo Ya was also very generous and deleted this line of regulations with a stroke of his pen. Zhou Li nodded, and then signed Folds' name. Roya is very satisfied with this result.
"Thank you for your cooperation in Jordan's work."
Luo Ya shook hands with Zhou Li, then stood up and prepared to leave.
"By the way, Captain Roya, I want to ask you a question."
Just before Luo Ya left, Zhou Li suddenly stopped him and asked him a question.
"Does Jordan have his own nursery rhymes? Ones about monsters."
