Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 43 He is lying
"Detective Lewis, you are really good at making black tea." Moses Mario took a sip of black tea and began to talk.

"The case happened just two or three hours ago. The detective sitting opposite you, Mr. Bernie, met with a beautiful lady. It was said that it was to celebrate a detective's move out of the Night Vanilla District.

When he met the other party, he heard that the lady's family had suffered a dramatic change. From being the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she had almost fallen to the point of selling her body in a brothel.

In order to help this poor lady, Mr. Burney decided to take out all his money, a total of one thousand pounds, to lend to this lady so that she could get out of her predicament. "

"This seems to be a simple case of fraud. There are always some idiots with not very good brains. They are either bewitched by beauty, or they just think they have found true love." Lewis sneered at this. As a detective, he was fooled by such a low-level trick and called the police afterwards. Detective Bernie is simply a disgrace to their detective profession.

"You're right, but if that was all, we wouldn't have come to you." Moses Mario continued to explain, "Mr. Bernie called the police afterwards. He didn't understand why he agreed to lend the other party one thousand pounds when it was only their second meeting. In addition, Detective Bernie claimed that he couldn't remember the details of the loan at all. He couldn't even remember the other party's appearance. He could only describe the other party's face as a little round and his name was Triss, which might just be a code name."

Lewis' heart sank suddenly. When he heard the second half of Moses Mario's description, he knew that Bernie Cooper had encountered an extraordinary event, but he did not expect that he would actually meet Triss.

"He was actually cheated of all his money by a man!"

Lewis sympathized with Detective Bernie's situation and couldn't help laughing. Because he was going to move out of the neighborhood, Detective Bernie made an appointment with a lady to go out to celebrate, but he happened to meet the witch Triss. Not only was he deceived of his feelings, but also all his savings were taken away from him.

congratulations!

"If you ask me to analyze it, I will only tell you that Detective Bernie is lying. He must have been willing to borrow the money, but for some reason he regretted it afterwards. Until now, he still has a little admiration for that woman deep in his heart, so he is unwilling to tell you what the lady looks like." Lewis said in a deep voice.

Triss is a witch, and witches do not have the ability to rewrite a person's memory. From this, it can be confirmed that Detective Bernie is lying.

It is normal for a person who is bewitched by a witch to spend money under the impulse of emotion. Of course, there are also many people who regret it after they calm down.

Moses Mario frowned and thought about it. The old gentleman next to him showed surprise in his eyes. He could tell that Detective Bernie was lying just by looking at Moses Mario's description.

In fact, if he had not been at the scene when Detective Bernie reported the case and noticed Detective Bernie's wandering eyes, even he would not have been able to judge.

"Mr. Lewis, you are really an experienced detective." The old gentleman took off his beret excitedly and said in awe, "If possible, please let me take over this detective agency. I have some experience in being a detective."

Lewis looked at the old gentleman in surprise, and Moses Mario quickly introduced him, "This is a retired officer of mine. His dream is to be a detective. He happened to hear about Mr. Lewis's magic, so he wanted to come and discuss various cases in Tingen City with you."

Moses Mario sighed and said helplessly, "I just didn't expect that Mr. Lewis would transfer the detective agency."

"I'm sorry about that, but I'm happy to give this office to the officer." Lewis smiled.

After some discussion, he collected ten pounds for the shop rent and consulting fees, and then told Moses that he had to rush to the train station.

Tonight, he would board the train to Backlund and temporarily stay away from the shadow of Sealed Object 0-08.

……

Tingen was a little cold at night. In an alley not far from the East District Poorhouse, a man with dirty and smelly clothes and a strong smell of alcohol walked through the alley. Unlike ordinary poor people, he had strong muscles, and a scar under his eye seemed to tell of his glorious deeds.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by, and an expression of panic appeared on the face of the scarred man. He made a "ho ho" sound in his throat, and then fell into a dirty puddle.

The dark shadow appeared in the dim moonlight. She was wearing a black cloak and holding a blood-stained dagger in her hand. It could be seen that she was a thin lady.

"Bang!" Suddenly a gunshot was heard and the lady was shot in the shoulder.

She looked at the place where the gunshot came from with a little surprise, and then a powerful thrust burst out from under her feet, and she ran towards the train station in the distance.

……

At night, Lewis finally got a train ticket to Backlund. The train had already arrived at the station, and the crowd rushed towards the entrance like a torrent.

Lewis looked back at the city shrouded in the night, and couldn't help but sigh. From the memory he inherited, the original owner of the body had not left this small city for more than ten years and had a deep affection for this small city.

"I will come back one day, but by then I will have a feather pen in my hand." Lewis smiled calmly, and then followed the crowd to squeeze onto the train to Backlund.

As the train whistle sounded, the huge train made a sound of steel rubbing against each other, and the mechanical power made Lewis stand in awe.

Opposite Lewis' seat was a beautiful lady with blonde hair, snow-white skin and a small face, a bit like an elf in the legend.

Of course, Lewis knew that in this world, elves, giants, and dragons had not appeared for a long time.

The beautiful lady seemed to see Lewis, and she smiled faintly, making her look even more charming.

Lewis suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. He nodded politely to the lady, then stood up and went to the bathroom at the end of the carriage.

Since the incident with Triss, he hasn't tasted the taste of a witch for some days, which makes him always feel an irrepressible desire.

Thanks to the fact that Lewis himself was already a Sequence 8 "machine" and had almost completely digested the potion, he usually did not show any abnormality. But at that moment just now, he suddenly felt a little out of control.

As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, Lewis’ body was bumped. He felt a strong impact and a thin woman bumped into him.

Fortunately, he is a superhuman, so he can easily resolve the impact and avoid being knocked down in the carriage by the other party.

"Miss Cherry, why are you here?" Lewis looked to the end of the other carriage. He felt a not-so-strong sense of danger. Someone was chasing Cherry.
