Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 26 Evil Ritual
When it was getting dark, Lewis, who was suffering from the negative effects of the magical items, went to Wharton Mansion. He had reason to believe that this would be a wonderful night.

"I'm looking for Miss Serra." Lewis handed his hat and coat to the waiter, and followed the waiter's lead straight into Miss Serra's room.

"Good evening, Mr. Lewis." Seeing Lewis coming, Sera put down the newspaper, and her originally gloomy face immediately broke into a smile.

"Good evening." Lewis glanced at the newspaper Sera was reading. It was the Tingen Morning Post published by Tingen City. Yesterday's news was printed in one corner of the newspaper. It seemed that two accidental deaths overlapped and occupied one corner of the newspaper.

"We have to hurry today, Mr. Lewis. I'm going to be out for something tonight." Sera approached Lewis, exuding a charm that all men could not resist.

Lewis naturally couldn't resist, he entered the fascinating world with a clear mind.

In the morning, Lewis woke up from a large velvet bed, and Sera had left last night, reportedly to have something to deal with.

Sighing silently, Lewis was somewhat dissatisfied with his situation last night. He used to be an invincible general, so why did he surrender in just half an hour last night?

However, Lewis did not get entangled in it. Everyone has times when they perform poorly, and he is no exception.

After getting his hat and coat back from the waiter, Lewis returned to the detective agency. Although he had been getting free stuff recently, he was indeed running out of money.

Lewis couldn’t help but think of Mandy’s current situation. As a person who had lost her destiny, where would Amon put Mandy?
However, he knew clearly that his current ability was not enough to find Mandy. All he could do was digest the potion well and advance to the next sequence.

When he has enough status or finds the right supernatural item, then he should consider looking for Mandy.

Of course, there is also a dumbest way, which is to spend a lot of energy and money to find someone who looks like Mandy through the media, but this method is not reliable, because the blasphemer Amon is likely to discover his purpose first and play a prank.

Back at the office, Lewis made a simple breakfast that was barely edible, then made a cup of black tea, sipped it slowly, and waited for business to come.

Boom boom boom!
"Come in." Hearing a knock on the door, Lewis saw a man in formal clothes with a "crossed swords and a crown" logo on his clothes pushing the door open.

"Welcome, Mr. Policeman." Lewis put down the tea and smiled.

"I have something to ask you." The young policeman took off his hat and introduced himself: "I'm Moses Mario. Miss Leona told me that you are a real detective, more professional than Bernie Cooper across the street."

Miss Leona? Lewis immediately thought of John the Cat. It turned out that the lady's name was Leona, which was a beautiful name.

"Ms. Leona is really sensible. She introduced business to us so quickly."

While secretly praising Miss Leona, Lewis put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Miss Leona, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary detective who happened to help her find 'John'."

Moses Mario was in awe. Detective Lewis found the cat that had been missing for more than a week in just half a day. If this happened to Detective Bernie, it would probably be enough for him to brag about it for a year.

It can be seen that Mr. Lewis is not only highly skilled in his profession, but also a humble and cautious person, which are the best qualities for a detective.

"I hope you can accept my commission. This may concern the lives of many people." Moses Mario took out a newspaper from his wallet and placed it in front of Lewis.

When Lewis saw Moses Mario's bulging wallet, he was excited, but when Moses Mario took out a newspaper from his wallet, he wanted to curse.

I thought a fat sheep had come, but it turned out to be just an illusion. "This responsibility is too great. Please tell me the details of your commission." Lewis was a little dissatisfied with what he had just done, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Please take a look at the natural death incident in this newspaper. I took over this case. My colleagues all said it was a natural death, but I don't think so."

Lewis nodded as he listened. Moses Mario believed that this incident was man-made. After all, the time of death of the deceased was too coincidental.

For three consecutive days, people walking down Iron Cross Street died every day due to illness or accidents. There was even one person who had been diagnosed with a mild liver disease only a few days ago.

Before the accidental death in Lower Iron Cross Street, a similar incident occurred in the East End Workhouse.

It was precisely because all this was too coincidental that policeman Moses Mario suspected that there was another hidden story behind this incident, perhaps the perpetrator's method was too sophisticated.

As he read, Lewis tightly grasped the newspaper. He remembered one thing. Wasn't this the incident where Triss performed an evil ritual?
The deaths of these people were related to supernatural factors, so it's no wonder that the police were unable to find any valuable clues.

"Twelve pounds, the commission fee is twelve pounds, and you must pay me six pounds in advance for the activity expenses. If things are successful, you won't see similar incidents in the newspaper tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If it fails, I won't refund the six pounds." Lewis immediately finalized the price. Now that he knew that this was the work of the witch, he would of course take the opportunity to make some money.

Triss is a Sequence 7 transcendent, and she should have something in her hands. Although this matter is very dangerous, Lewis is quite confident.

Of course, if it is really dangerous enough, he will definitely choose to run away.

Moses Mario frowned and then nodded. Detective Lewis was able to determine the price just by taking a look at the newspaper. This is exactly the quality that a real detective should have.

Lewis was unwilling to tell him the details, and it was obvious that the matter was too dangerous and beyond his ability.

"Okay." Moses Mario agreed. He gave Lewis six one-pound notes and left.

After Moses Mario left, Lewis took the necklace in his hand, and his spirit gradually became ethereal.

"This matter is related to Triss..."

After repeating it silently three times, the necklace stopped, which meant that the divination was disturbed.

Now, Lewis was more certain that this was not just an ordinary coincidence because his divination had been interfered with.

As far as Lewis knew, Triss killed people in order to take away their remaining lifespans to perform evil rituals.

The reason for holding the evil ceremony was naturally to curse certain people, those who caused her to be hunted down.

Of course, even though Triss spent a lot of time and money, she still failed to achieve her goal, just because she met the Son of Destiny, Klein, who was also Mr. Fool of their Tarot Club.

Of course, Mr. Fool is still only a Sequence Nine now.
