Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 144: The Normand Case
Two years ago, Miss Stephanie came to Loen on the Normand cruise ship, accompanying her father, a businessman, and a maid.

“I really want to know what happened on the cruise ship that Miss Stephanie was on. Perhaps, after hearing this story, I can guess the truth of what happened.” Lewis gave Stephanie hope and said.

Stephanie picked up the beer that Lewis had put aside and thought carefully:

“Just after the Normant left the Intis Sea, a murder occurred on the cruise ship. The blood of the corpse was almost drained, and there were bite marks on it, which were marks of human teeth.

The crew took action to search for the murderer, but the murderer was not found, and no tragedy happened again in the following days.

Three days before the Normande landed, the problem broke out again. This time, nearly half of the people on board died. Their deaths were more brutal than the first day. Their bodies were even torn to pieces. My father was one of the dead.

Then, on the last day of landing, we encountered pirates.

This time, we encountered a purge of pirates. I survived by hiding in the room below deck. There were less than 20 survivors who left the Normant with me. "

Listening to Stephanie's brief narration, Lewis could already imagine how horrible what happened on the cruise ship was. It was even possible that this incident involved supernatural powers.

“There were more than 800 tourists on the cruise ship at the time, including nobles or big businessmen from Intis, and these people might have been protected by extraordinary people.

Over half of the people on board were killed or injured overnight. This must not be a simple matter."

Lewis thought for a moment, put on a sad look, and said softly:

"I'm sorry to hear such a sad thing, but I don't know what I can do for you."

“No, it’s not Mr. Lewis’ fault.” Stephanie’s face looked better. She felt something in her heart was touched, and the bitterness was released all at once.

Just then, a thug standing in the corner came over, said a few words to Stephanie, and then took her away.

The billiard room suddenly became empty, Lewis spread his hands and put the cue aside.

Judging from the current situation, Wells Mond was most likely also on the Normand cruise ship. For some unknown reason, Wells Mond eventually died in a case on the cruise ship.

However, judging from the current information, it is not ruled out that Wells Mond is also a supernatural being with powers far beyond those of ordinary people.

“Perhaps, I should go find the client and get more specific information.

I have no idea about Wells Mond's true identity or his purpose in coming to Port Enmat."

Standing up and putting on a half-high silk hat, Lewis deliberately closed the door of the billiard room, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.

"Is there anything wrong?" Several people in black suits walked towards him with daggers in their hands.

The Kingdom of Loen has very high requirements for gun licenses, but maintains relatively loose requirements for cold weapons such as knives.

No one spoke, and several men in black suits surrounded Lewis, waving their weapons.

"destiny."

Lewis immediately took off a silver ring on his left hand and threw it into the crowd.

Suddenly, the person in the front twisted his foot and fell in front of Lewis, and several people fell down with him. After a round of attacks, Lewis was unharmed. He could always dodge the attacks in incredible ways.

Instead, the people who had done the action had some injuries on their bodies, and blood was dripping onto the wooden floor.

Lewis stepped over the fallen man, walked up to the bartender, asked the trembling bartender for a glass of banana beer, and left the stronghold bar while drinking it.

As he walked out the door, the silver ring he had just used was right at his feet. He picked it up and put it on his left hand.

“Has the gangster who’s holding Miss Stephanie captive finally responded to me?
Those people just now were all ordinary people, probably wanting to teach me a lesson, but they didn't expect me to be a transcendent."

Without thinking too much, Lewis took out a note from his pocket and went to a detective agency on Denia Street according to the information on the note.

It was almost noon and the detective agency was very deserted. A black-haired, brown-eyed detective was sitting at the coffee table, and a blonde, blue-eyed maid was busy tidying the room.

That detective had a very distinct Intis appearance.

"Welcome, I believe I can help you." The detective looked at Lewis and spoke in the standard official language of Loen.

Lewis sensed a sense of familiarity in the detective, and without having to guess, he knew that this detective must be the one who commissioned the incident at the party.

The maid brought the freshly brewed black tea and simple snacks. Lewis took a sip of the black tea and said in a deep voice:
"I need to know more about Wells Mond, his identity, his purpose for coming to Enmat Port, and the ship he was on before he disappeared."

The detective's face darkened. He sent the maid away, took out a stack of documents that he had prepared long ago from the drawer, and replied:
"That's all the news I can give you."

Lewis took the information with a frown. From the detective's words, he vaguely guessed that Wells Mond was not that simple.

If you think about it carefully, this detective is not simple either. He is a supernatural being himself, and he is from Intis.

The other party stayed in Enmat Port for so long just to track down someone who had died long ago.

Flipping through the documents, Lewis saw news about Wells Mond.

Sure enough, the ship that Wells Mond was on before he disappeared was the "Normant Cruise Ship"!
Judging from the information, this gentleman does have a rich resume. He worked in the navy in his early years, and later retired to do business. He became a famous businessman in Innis, traveling back and forth between Loen and Innis, and was even entertained by the royal family of Innis.

In addition, Wells Mond had experienced the baptism of war, and a bullet wound on his chest left an indelible scar.

As for why he came to Enmat Port, the information did not clearly state it, only that it was to deliver an important task.

Lewis hesitated for a moment. From the information, he suspected that Wells Mond was a spy, and maybe even a double agent for Loen and Index.

After all, as a businessman, his status was too high; as a businessman, he traveled between the two countries too frequently.

As for what Wells Mond delivered, Lewis guessed that it was not a simple matter, but a message or item that involved a wide range of things.

It was this message or item that led to the Normande tragedy, and even the pirates looted the Normande because of this item.
