Chapter 21 The Same(1/2)
Now there is only one sentence left in Mrs. Meia's mind.
Folds, you have no detective spirit!
"Who are you anyway?"
Gritting her teeth, veins popped out on her forehead. Mrs. Meia's originally beautiful cheeks were 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 very respected profession. Keen observation, extensive knowledge, and unique detective thinking make this group of professionals who always remain calm and solve crimes elegantly become
The aristocratic class in Yingnan.
Of course, this is not without cost. When a person chooses to become a detective, he must abide by the three detective rules set by the "Sherlock" detective who founded 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 obtain support from government agencies, on the other hand, when a person becomes a detective, some extraordinary means will not be available. Under certain conditions, these detectives will be more capable than ordinary people.
It is more difficult to get others to plead guilty unless key evidence is obtained.
Zhou Li's behavior just now cannot be said to have 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. Meiya's eyes, she knew,
This man's identity is definitely more than just a detective.
But, it's 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 getting close to Madam Meiya's ear, Zhou Li whispered, "Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, Zhou Li showed the dagger on his waist to Madam Meiya, 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 worn by Zhou Li made a dull knocking sound with the ground, Mrs. Meia would feel her heart tremble. When Zhou Li's figure disappeared into the dark room, there were only occasional sounds around her.
After the wolf howled, Mrs. Meia'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 residence, 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 Roya on the side: "What happens next is up to you, we will leave first."
"ah?"
Luo Ya 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 away 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 at it.
Where is this city?”
Even Roja, who is known as Jordan's steel bar, noticed that Detective Folds was really special to his assistant Hua Shen. So Roja understood it instantly and said with a smile: "Okay, if you have any questions or
For 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 should we do next? Continue to investigate the case?
"
"We can no longer waste time on these two precious things, werewolves and succubi."
Zhou Li picked up the honey milk and took a sip, with a look of satisfaction on his face. After all, he had to maintain his image as a great detective. He couldn't just say "milk, add more honey" when others asked for black tea or coffee when discussing things.
, that’s a little 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 pattern on it and continued to analyze: "Our goal now is to find the book of blessings, but now the Gospel Cathedral has been destroyed, and there are too many security forces around. Stealing this kind of
This method simply won’t work. Therefore, our current breakthrough point is the werewolf faction that is obviously hostile to the Gospels.”
"Can't we just reveal our identities and go to the Yingnan nobles to borrow books?"
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 is not easy to get help."
What do you call a slight discord? Come on, you just killed the God of Death.
Suppressing the desire to complain, Eluma stirred the honey milk in front of her and asked 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 was calculated."
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 azure eyes reflecting Zhou Li's black pupils. She knew everything, but she remained silent. She just followed Zhou Li and acted as a 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 have been in this situation since I attended Duke Mintz's dinner and the werewolf appeared."
From the beginning, Zhou Li felt something was wrong.
What happened was as dramatic as a novel.
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 him to help the authorities crack down on the werewolf.
case.
As the case progressed, the detective gradually fell 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, the detective discovered that the Duke's wife seemed to have
A serious suspicion. 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 seemed that these cases were intertwined and happened naturally. But in Zhou Li's eyes, it was like a series of farces put together.
Did anyone die in these cases?
The answer is, no.
Even the skeletal giants, who were like natural disasters, were like a law-abiding demolition team, only demolishing but not killing. From beginning to end, one monster after another that only existed in fantasy never killed a single person. And Zhou Li
It's more like the protagonist in this fairy tale, who can always save the day from danger and always stand up like a hero.
