There is only one sentence left in Mrs. Meia's mind now.
Folds, you have no detective spirit!
"who are you?"
Gritting his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead. Mrs. Meia's originally beautiful face was full of ferocity, and her voice was full of resentment: "You are not a detective at all. You have not followed the detective rules at all."
In Yingnan, detectives who can easily solve crimes are a highly respected profession. Keen observation, extensive knowledge, and unique detective thinking allow this group to always remain calm, and their profession of elegantly solving crimes has become the aristocratic class in Yingnan.
Of course, this doesn't come without a cost. When a person chooses to become a detective, he must abide by the three detective rules set by the "Sherlock" detective who created the detective profession.
First, detectives cannot use threats, violence, or other methods to force others to confess.
Second, detectives cannot convict others based on their feelings without any evidence.
Third, detectives must not violate the law.
Although these three laws protect detectives to a certain extent and allow them to gain support from government agencies. But on the other hand, when a person becomes a detective, some extraordinary means will not be available. Under certain conditions, these detectives will have a harder time getting others to confess than ordinary people. Unless they have key evidence, it will be difficult for them to plead guilty.
As for Zhou Li's behavior just now, it cannot be said that it violated the detective rules. It can only be said that he did not take the detective rules to heart from the beginning to the end. Therefore, when the dagger appeared in front of Mrs. Meia's eyes, she knew that this man's identity was definitely more than just a detective.
But it was too late.
"Then what?"
Facing Mrs. Meia's frightened anger, Zhou Li turned a blind eye and even wanted to laugh: "You can continue your accusations or insults. Of course, I want to remind you that I have no merits."
"It's just small-minded."
Leaning forward and approaching Mrs. Meia's ear, Zhou Li whispered, "Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, Zhou Li showed the dagger on his waist to Mrs. Meya, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally. Then he turned around and walked slowly towards the door of the interrogation room.
Every time the soft-heeled leather shoes Zhou Li wore made a dull knocking sound with the ground, Mrs. Meiya would feel her heart tremble. When Zhou Li's figure disappeared into the dark room, and there were only intermittent howls and whines of wolves around her, Mrs. Meya's heart sank completely.
"That's almost it. The murderer is most likely her."
Back in the observation room, Zhou Li's tone revealed some helplessness, "But she still refuses to plead guilty. The most important thing now is to find direct evidence."
"We will conduct a comprehensive search of Mrs. Meia's mansion, you can rest assured."
Roja had already commanded a security team to conduct a search. Based on the suddenness of the matter, it was almost impossible for Mrs. Meia to have time to hide evidence or traces.
"Well, okay, just pay more attention."
Zhou Li nodded, then glanced at Mrs. Meiya who was shivering behind the glass, smiled lightly, and said to Roja beside him: "What happens next is up to you, we will leave first."
"ah?"
Roja was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and nodded in response: "Okay, I'll see you two off."
"No."
Zhou Li waved his hand and refused with a smile: "I've been bothering Captain Luo Ya for the past two days, so there's no need to send it off today. My assistant and I just happened to be shopping in Jordan. It's been so long, and we haven't had a good look. This city."
Even Roya, who is known as Jordan's steel bar, noticed that Detective Folds was really special to his assistant Hua Shen. So Roja instantly understood and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have any questions or other clues, Detective Folds, you can contact me at any time."
"Well, then I won't bother you."
*********************
"Huh~"
After opening the door and checking that there were no strange packages around him, Zhou Li walked upright to the sofa, threw himself directly on it, and let out a long, comfortable sigh.
"are you tired?"
Eluma took off her soft hat and put it aside, took off her exquisite red plaid coat, and asked Zhou Li with a slight smile: "Coffee or milk?"
"Come with you."
Zhou Li waved his hand and said feebly: "The black tea I drank in the past few days has really made me feel nauseous. I really don't know what these Yingnan people think. There is butter in the black tea tea bricks, which is really not greasy. "
"No way, the taste will always be different."
Eluma walked to the kitchen, poured two glasses of honey milk, then slowly walked to the sofa and placed the extra honey portion in front of Zhou Li, "What are we going to do next? Continue to investigate the case?" "
"We can't continue to waste time on these two precious things, werewolves and succubi."
Zhou Li picked up the honey milk and took a sip, with a satisfied look on his face. After all, you have to maintain your image as a great detective. You can't just say "milk, add more honey" when others ask for black tea or coffee when discussing things. That would be a bit too weird.
"What we know now is that this dagger has a strong deterrent effect on monsters that suddenly appear."
Putting the dagger on the table, Zhou Li looked at the patterns on it and continued to analyze: "Our goal now is to find the Book of Fortune, but now the Gospel Cathedral has been destroyed, and there are too many security forces around. This method simply won’t work. So our current breakthrough point is the werewolf faction that is obviously hostile to the Gospels.”
"Can't we just reveal our identities and borrow books from the Yingnan nobles?"
Eluma sat next to Zhou Li and asked such a question.
"It's hard."
Facing Eluma's inquiry, Zhou Li said straightforwardly: "The Gospel is as fundamental to Yingnan as the country. My current reputation and ability are not enough to force Yingnan to let me check the Gospel. Unless God helps me stand up, But you also know that if I have a slight disagreement with the gods, it’s not easy to get help.”
What do you call a slight discord? Come on, you just killed Death.
Suppressing the desire to complain, Eluma stirred the honey milk in front of her and said softly, "Are the Gospels really so important?"
"Very important."
Leaning on the back of the sofa, Zhou Li replied without hesitation: "It's very important."
"To whom?"
The mixing spoon in her hand stopped, Eluma raised her head, looked at Zhou Li, and asked softly: "Is it important to you or to me?"
Hearing this, Zhou Li remained silent.
"That's not how it works."
After a while, Zhou Li spoke, his brows no longer as tight as before, but relaxed: "The Gospels are very important to you, but you are more important to me."
"I know."
Without being shy or coy, Eluma accepted Zhou Li's words calmly and generously. She gently held Zhou Li's hand, placed it on her forehead, and said softly:
"But have you ever thought that you are also very important to me."
Feeling the warmth on the back of his hand, Zhou Li fell silent.
"We fell into a trap on the first day we came to Yingnan, right?"
Eluma raised her head, her blue eyes reflecting Zhou Li's black pupils. She knew everything, but she remained silent. She just followed Zhou Li and played the role of detective and assistant.
Zhou Li sighed softly. Sure enough, he couldn't hide it from Eluma.
"That's right."
Zhou Li opened his mouth and said calmly: "This is a game."
"We've been in this game since I attended Duke Mintz's dinner and the werewolf showed up."
From the beginning, Zhou Li felt something was wrong.
Everything that happened was dramatic.
A foreign detective and his beautiful girl assistant encountered a werewolf murder case on their first day in the new city. The detective's calm performance at the crime scene attracted the attention of officials, who requested his help in solving the werewolf case.
As the case progresses, the detective gradually falls into the whirlpool of the werewolf case. He discovered that the werewolf was not the real mastermind, and the true identity of the werewolf turned out to be the deceased who was killed by him. After investigation, detectives discovered that the duke's wife seemed to be a suspect. After a series of investigations and evidence collection, the Duchess turned out to be the mastermind behind the werewolf case, and it was she who transformed the Duke into a werewolf.
It seems that these cases are intertwined and happen as a matter of course. But in Zhou Li's eyes, it was like a series of farce performances.
Did anyone die in these cases?
The answer is, no.
Even the skeletal giant, which is like a natural disaster, is like a law-abiding demolition team, only demolishing, not killing. From beginning to end, one monster after another that only exists in fantasy has not even killed a single person. And Zhou Li is more like the protagonist in this fairy tale. He can always turn danger into safety and always stand up like a hero.
He won the plaudits, the reputation, and the trust of Roja as the official representative. But it all came so naturally, just like the protagonist in a mindless novel who cheated all the way and easily obtained something that others had struggled for their entire lives. This seems cool, and so is the protagonist, but is this reasonable?
Isn't there a price for these?
Please, people will die in this world. Nearly half of Muqi's army died in the second invasion of the void, and countless people were killed by the three disasters. And among these ferocious and terrifying monsters, not a single person was killed from beginning to end. how? Are they living Buddhas?
Zhou Li had long known that his actions had been controlled by an unknown entity. He kept tempting himself, using various clues and foreshadowings to lead him into the trap step by step.
This is a seemingly low-level, but very clever technique.
The reason is very simple. This unknown existence is using conspiracy.
"I'm very slow."
Eluma looked at Zhou Li and said softly: "But even though I am so slow, I can notice something is wrong. There is no way you wouldn't notice it."
"Zhou Li, don't take yourself as a bet, okay?"
For a long time, Zhou Li did not answer Eluma. Zhou Li just looked at her blankly, looking a little dazed. After a while, he spoke:
"You're right, I did notice Yingnan's weirdness very early on."
"but."
Zhou Li suddenly made a turn, and then, a smile like "a victim is about to appear" appeared on his face. This smile once tormented all parties, from the street corner vendors to the God of Death, who all lost their money due to this smile.
"I'm not prepared to gamble with the person who wants to manipulate me. He wants to hide in Yingnan's shadow, manipulate my behavior, and put on a good show for him."
"I guess he is listening to the conversation between the two of us now. This despicable and despicable approach that even I rarely use makes me very angry."
Zhou Li clenched his hand and flicked Eluma's head. Then Zhou Li drank the honey milk on the side, and then said word by word: "So, I am going to overthrow Yingnan and smash it to pieces." Theater, and then..."
"Break this thing's bones!"
**********************************
The palace of Silver City was already shrouded in night. In a glazed palace, the closed door was quietly opened. A silver-haired girl was wearing a white dress, with no expression on her face as beautiful as a fairy.
An hour ago, Torrea received a message. This message came from Azi, the content was very strange, it only contained one short sentence.
"Do you remember him?"
When she just saw this line of text, Torea thought Azi was playing a prank on her and sent such a meaningless sentence.
But when Torea was lying on her bed, looking at the waning moon outside the window and getting ready to fall asleep, she couldn't help but think of that message. After a while, Torea suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of disharmony.
Why do I know Azi?
How could I relate to her?
For some reason, Torea's intuition is very sharp. She immediately began to recall the process of her acquaintance with Azi. But no matter how she recalled it, her acquaintance with Azi and his friends was very unexpected. Just like two connected lines, there is always a blank space, which is very strange.
When she noticed this, Torea took off the jewel she had been wearing without hesitation. When she took off the jewel that gave her the household register of this world, the blank space in Torea's mind was suddenly filled.
Zhou Li.
She thought of this name, and of the man who always looked frivolous, but was always able to turn the tide. She remembered that night in Muqi, when she closed her eyes in despair, the warm halo fell on her palms, giving her endless hope.
Zhou Li is in danger.
When she just came out of her memory, Torea noticed this problem. She had seen Zhou Li's identity, strength, and down-to-earth style. It was hard for her to imagine what could erase Zhou Li's existence.
After realizing that Zhou Li was in a very dangerous situation, Torea put on her clothes without hesitation. She also found the spear that was placed in the corner and placed it on her waist.
Torea, who had already jumped to the eaves, suddenly remembered something, jumped off the eaves, and walked towards the palace.
I almost forgot, I still have three days off.
