Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 69 Target Death
Lewis tried hard to recall what Mrs. Joan had done. The morning he accepted Mrs. Joan's commission was the day after he registered the advertisement in the Tussock Reporter. The effect of the advertisement seemed to be mediocre, and only Mrs. Joan came to the door.

At that time, Mrs. Joan tried hard to act normal, but some small movements betrayed her inner thoughts and it could be seen that she was very nervous.

Considering that her husband was kidnapped, Lewis believed that Mrs. Joan's nervousness and fear were understandable, which was a manifestation of her concern for her husband and herself.

"June Yarlin is lying to me."

Lewis took out a coin from his pocket and tossed it up. This divination for Mrs. Joan was actually a divination for himself, so there was no lack of prerequisites.

"Zheng!"

The coin fell on the table, tumbling and spinning, until the side with the head of George III appeared.

"This proves that Mrs. Joan is really lying. She didn't come here to report the case to find her husband Dick Yarlin. Then what was she doing for?" Picking up the coin, Lewis already had a plan. All he had to do next was go to the police station to ask, and he would be able to quickly confirm Mrs. Joan's real purpose.

If it wasn't to save Dick Yarlin, then the kidnapping case was likely related to Mrs. Joan.

"I'm going to go out for a while to investigate a lady's infidelity." Lewis took the top hat from the coat rack and put it on, then left with his cane.

Blau hurriedly followed. In order to get promoted, he had to follow Lewis like a follower at all times.

With the help of Miss Joan's hair, Lewis used the "rod divination method" to find the route, which would enable him to find Joan Yarlin as quickly as possible. If he arrived in time, he might even be able to take pictures of her cheating.

The cane in his hand shifted to the side under the guidance of the spirit, but after a moment, it stood up again, standing very straight.

"My divination was disturbed? It was the man who was with Miss Qiong. I didn't see his face clearly in the dream. This means that he has the ability to reverse divination or interfere with divination."

Seeing that things were getting more complicated, Lewis sensed something was wrong, and the person with Miss Joan made him feel familiar.

Is it possible that the other party is a member of the "Blood Cult" and happens to be the Sequence Seven who kidnapped Mr. Dick?

Lewis looked at Blau, handed him his cane and hair, and said, "My status is not high enough. The person with Mrs. June is likely a Sequence Seven of the Abyss Passage. If you are willing to help, I will give you five pounds of this reward."

"No, at least fifteen pounds." Blau took the cane calmly and emphasized.

"Okay, fifteen pounds." Lewis agreed. He had been paying for all of Brough's expenses recently. It would not be difficult for him to find an excuse to embezzle the fifteen pounds.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this matter is probably not simple, and he must find Mrs. Joan as soon as possible to prevent any accidents.

Blau's spirit gradually became ethereal, his eyes turned pure white, and he let go of his cane.

The cane fell down and pointed straight ahead.

Lewis hailed a carriage on the side of the road, and following the direction of his cane, the two of them went around in circles and finally found the residential area with high-rise buildings behind the Backlund Stock Exchange.

"No passage ahead." Suddenly, a policeman stopped the carriage.

The driver quickly tightened the reins, and as the carriage stopped, he explained the situation to Lewis in the carriage.

"Got it, we'll get off here," Lewis replied. He paid the one soli fee for the carriage and got off with Brough.

The road leading to the target location was blocked, and fully armed police officers could be seen every few meters on the road, stopping anyone who wanted to approach the scene.

However, Lewis did not discover the extraordinary person.

"Mr. Policeman, what happened here?" Lewis adjusted his hat. He did not reveal his identity. It is always right to be cautious.

"A lady died tragically in a residential house, and her internal organs are missing. We have to seal off the scene and wait for the experts to arrive." The policeman took the penny from Lewis and put it in his pocket, explaining in a good mood.

"It's hard to believe that there is such a brutal criminal in Backlund. You must bring him to justice." Lewis controlled his facial expression and cursed the criminal whose identity was unknown passionately.

He knew that the experts the police were talking about were most likely those official extraordinary people.

"Of course, it is our responsibility to protect the residents." The policeman touched his gun bag and smiled.

"Do you know the identity of that lady? Some of my friends live nearby and I'm worried about their safety," Lewis asked again.

"We can't tell you this news. Things are a bit complicated." The police politely refused.

"That's a pity. I'm really worried about those friends." Lewis said some polite words and then pretended to leave casually.

"Let's rest in a nearby hotel and then go to the scene to check the situation at night." Lewis explained to Blau. If he guessed correctly, the dead lady should be Joan Yarlin.

It is very simple to confirm this. After the police and experts finish their investigation, we just need to ask the nearby residents.

Even if he couldn't get any information out of her, if Mrs. Joan really had a problem, Mr. Dick would come and inform him.

Finally, if both of the above methods fail, he can also roughly confirm it through divination.

"I think your behavior is very risky. My intuition tells me that this matter is very likely related to supernatural powers. If those official supernatural beings intervene, they will definitely pay attention to the crime scene, and the official supernatural beings don't like us." Blau returned the cane to Lewis and persuaded him tactfully.

Lewis frowned, he felt that what Blau said made sense.

As wild superhumans, their identities are indeed somewhat embarrassing. If they are encountered by official superhumans, they might be arrested.

Although he cared about the cause of Mrs. June's death, and even more about what those "Blood Cult" followers wanted to do, curiosity was nothing compared to his own safety.

"We'll go back today. If it's really Mrs. June who's in trouble, I believe Mr. Dick will come and inform us."

Lewis immediately moved away from the crime scene. He believed that the police and the experts would handle the matter well. If they couldn't handle it well, it would be best not to get himself into trouble.

In order to prevent someone from becoming suspicious, Lewis did not return directly to the detective agency. Instead, he went shopping in a nearby shopping mall and bought some tea and coffee beans.
