Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 42 The Last Business

The sky gradually darkened, and Lewis drank a cup of black tea until the evening. After thinking it over again and again, he decided to leave Tingen City early and go to Backlund, the capital of Loen.

At present, it is almost impossible to find Mandy using normal methods, but the appearance of Sealed Object 0-08 provides him with a new idea.

What's more, the ability of Sealed Artifact 0-08 is not just to find the person who has lost his destiny. If this sealed object is used well, many difficult things will become possible, and he will become the true guardian of destiny.

If he wants to get the Sealed Artifact 0-08, he must temporarily stay away from the script of that third-rate writer. Only people outside the script can break free from the constraints of the script and get the "pen" that determines the fate of the character.

"It's best to go to Backlund early. There are many high-level extraordinary people there, and there are also many extraordinary people gathering. If there is a chance to meet members of the School of Life or that Sequence One Will..." Lewis turned off the gas lamp in the room and suddenly shook his head.

"It's better not to see the mercury snake. I have a magical item of high status that is related to fate. It is not a good thing to meet it when I am weak."

Lewis gave up the idea of ​​looking for the Mercury Snake. This was not a bright world. When a person chose a certain extraordinary sequence, his friends and enemies were already determined.

He and Will Auceptin may not be enemies, but he has a powerful magical item on him, which seems to be a destiny item. If Will Auceptin finds it, no one knows what will happen.

He could trust Will Auceptin's serpentine character, but he shouldn't test his serpentine nature too much. After all, no extraordinary person would watch a powerful extraordinary object running around in front of him without being tempted.

After returning home, Lewis changed out of his formal clothes, prepared some barely edible dinner to fill his stomach, and then rummaged around the room until he found all the items he could take away.

The house was left by his adoptive parents, and Lewis had no plans to sell it. He also wanted to leave a place for himself and Mandy to return to.

But Lewis planned to sublet the detective agency on Night Vanilla Street to someone else. After all, he had paid the rent for half a year, and it would be uneconomical to give up now.

"By the way, there's also what I promised Witch Sera." Lewis had no intention of breaking the contract. If there was no risk in helping Witch Sera get promoted and he could get a thousand pounds, why not do it?
The only difficulty now is how the witch Sera can find himself and wait until the other party gets the contract from the notary.

After thinking about it, Lewis decided to write a letter and leave it at his residence. With the ability of the witch Sera, he would be able to find Mr. Azik with this letter, and then Mr. Azik would send the letter to him.

Lewis wrote an ordinary letter in the room, mainly explaining that he had left Tingen and asked Sera to find Mr. Azik.

……

In the morning, Lewis opened the shop as usual. He wrote the words "Shop Transfer" on the notice board of the detective agency, and then sat in the office drinking black tea as usual.

If the store transfer went smoothly, he would be able to take a train to Backlund tonight and arrive in the capital, Backlund, early tomorrow morning.

Drinking tea and reading newspapers, this boring life continued until noon, when Lewis finally waited for his first customer, Bernie Cooper. Mr. Detective, do you want to open a branch? ... Lewis frowned and couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Mr. Lewis, I heard that you are going to transfer this store. What a pity! I feel sorry for losing a true rival like you." Bernie Cooper took off his hat, revealing his few hairs. His smile showed that he had no regrets.

"I also feel sorry for losing an opponent like you. If there is nothing else, you can leave." Lewis said unhappily. If he himself had not been written into the script of 0-08, he would definitely choose to open the detective agency for another year based on Detective Bernie's words.

For no other reason than to see Detective Bernie having no business, that's all.

"I look forward to seeing you again." Bernie Cooper picked up his cane, roughly knocked open the door of the Lewis Detective Agency with it, and slowly returned to the "Bernie Detective Agency" opposite the "Lewis Detective Agency".

After returning to the office and making sure that there was no one around, Bernie Cooper twisted his short and fat body and started ballroom dancing.

"That idiot shouldn't have lied to me. He's finally going to close his shop. Even though I hate him, I have to admit that idiot is a qualified detective." After dancing for a while, Bernie Cooper suddenly remembered the extremely beautiful girl he met at the dance last time. She had a slightly round face, and her temperament and manners were extremely elegant. She had an indescribable beauty.

"I'm going to invite Miss Triss to Daffodil Street to enjoy a Dipsy-style afternoon tea together to celebrate. It won't cost much money, and I'll make more money after that idiot leaves." Bernie Cooper sprayed some perfume on himself. He felt that it would make him more attractive.

……

Lewis waited in the room depressedly until it got dark. It seemed that the store transfer was not very attractive.

Boom boom boom!
There was another knock on the door of the detective agency. Lewis put down the newspaper and called out, "Come in."

"Detective Lewis." Old customer Moses Mario was wearing a police uniform with the logo of "crossed swords and a crown", and following behind him was an old gentleman with gray hair and a black beret.

"Welcome, Mr. Moses." Lewis smiled and said, "As you can see, I'm going to sell this store and move to Backlund. If you have a case and want my help, I'm afraid I don't have the time."

"We do have a case, but we don't want you to investigate it. We just want to hear your opinion." Moses Mario glanced at the old gentleman next to him, and the old gentleman nodded slightly.

Lewis followed Moses' gaze and looked at the old gentleman in surprise. Judging from Policeman Moses's performance, the old gentleman should have a very high status.

“Then tell me.” Lewis brewed two more cups of black tea. His plan to go to Backlund would not change. If he could not transfer the business before dark, he would earn the last consulting fee and then take the train to Backlund.

He had to hurry up and advance to Sequence 7 before Mr. Fool took action, and then find a way to get the Sealed Artifact from Ince Zangwill.
