Ring of Fate

Chapter 912 Case Investigation
The next morning.

After cleaning herself in the master bedroom bathroom, Franka walked into the living room and saw the wooden dining table piled with plastic bags. Those translucent white plastic bags contained fried dough sticks, sesame balls, steamed dumplings, steamed buns, and other foods. Next to them were cups of soy milk and bottles of milk.

The fragrance in the air made Franca feel familiar and tempting. She blurted out in astonishment:

"Who bought it?"

You don't even need me as a guide to lead the way. Have you helped with the communication?
Is this still a "foreigner" who has just arrived less than 24 hours ago?

Lumian smiled and pointed at himself:
"Of course it is me."

Franka looked this guy up and down:
"You bought so much breakfast at once. Didn't the boss find it strange?"

"It's not like I bought them from the same store." Lumian glanced at Ludwig, who had bitten off most of the sesame ball, revealing some of the bean paste inside, and smiled. "Later, a boss saw me carrying so much food and did ask about it."

"How did you answer?" Franca asked warily.

Lumian smiled and said:
“I said I was involved in pyramid schemes.”

"..." Franca opened her mouth slightly, speechless.

"The boss had the same reaction and asked me if I was joking." Lumian kept smiling, "I said yes, I was actually preparing breakfast for the company's team building."

"Where do you know these terms?" Franca asked a little confused.

Lumian smiled:

"Aurore mentioned it before, and I asked about it, but I still didn't understand what it meant. I finally figured it out online last night."

"You have a strong learning ability..." Franka said with a slight twitch of the corner of her mouth.

I'll be able to surf the Internet so soon!

Fortunately, this guy has not learned how to order breakfast directly using the food delivery app, otherwise what’s the use of me as a guide?
Lumian said in an Aurore-like proud tone:
"I have applied for a QQ number and a backup WeChat account. Once I have completed the observation phase, I will try to add Mr. Fool."

"..." Franka thought that this girl was actually a real beauty, and could switch to a beauty form at any time, so she couldn't help but complain, "Mr. Fool will think you're a tea seller, and he won't add you at all."

“What?” Lumian was a little confused.

Finally, there is something you don't know! Franca pulled open a chair, sat down, tore open the seal of the soy milk, broke off half a dough stick, and threw it in to soak.

After finishing this task, she gave some common sense about the Internet to Lumian and Anthony who was eating breakfast in silence - Janna had been on duty late last night and was still catching up on sleep.

At the end, Franca thought for a moment and said to Lumian:
“Although you have integrated and adapted well, I still think that you shouldn’t have made such a joke when buying breakfast. That kind of joke is impressive, and you are still very handsome now. The owner of the breakfast shop must have remembered you, which is not very beneficial to our current plan of hiding our identities and observing secretly.

"If we weren't worried about this and were afraid of being noticed by the Heavenly Master because of being too famous, we could all start a live broadcast to make money and even take Ludwig to a buffet!"

Lumian thought carefully:
"Indeed, I will keep an eye on it and ask Anthony to buy it later."

At this point, Lumian sincerely praised Franka:

"You are more careful than I am about this kind of thing."

Franka picked up a piece of fried dough stick soaked in sweet soy milk with chopsticks, put it in her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then half-closed her eyes and sighed with intoxication and satisfaction:
“That’s the feeling…”

She paused and said triumphantly:

"Of course, I have played the role of an assassin seriously. I am definitely not the kind of assassin who kills everyone who sees me to be considered a successful stealth assassin!"

After they chatted for a while, Janna got up and started eating the breakfast that Lumian had put in the "traveler's bag" in advance without being discovered by Ludwig.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lumian and Franca went to open the door one after another, and saw two people in police uniforms standing outside. The leader had a high hairline and gray eyes, and the one behind him had black hair and green eyes. He was very handsome, but had a kind of idle and sloppy temperament.

Franka's pupils suddenly dilated.

She knew the young police officer with the green eyes.

That's Mr. Star from the Major Arcana!
Franka was about to greet him joyfully when she suddenly realized:
Mr. Star was targeted by that Heavenly Lord, and would be kicked out not long after each time he entered the dream. The person in front of him should be just the dream image of Mr. Star woven by Mr. Fool's subconscious mind.

"Good morning, my last name is Deng, and I'm the police officer in charge of this area." The gray-eyed police officer asked with a smile, "You just moved here yesterday, right?"

"Yes." Lumian did not hide it.

The police here figured out that we only arrived yesterday?
How can the police in Trier be so efficient...

Officer Deng said warmly:

“Do you have a temporary residence permit…?”

"Captain, it's now called a residence permit." The young police officer with black hair and green eyes, who looked like the dream image of Mr. "Star" from the Major Arcana card, reminded helplessly.

He seemed to have reminded me many times.

"Haha, I forgot, forgot." Police officer Deng laughed at himself.

"I haven't had time to process it yet." Franca answered first, fearing that Lumian didn't know what a residence permit was.

"Then when you have time, go to the police station opposite Xindu Garden to get your certificate. If you two get married and have children, and want them to attend public kindergartens, you'll also have to look at this." Officer Deng reminded in a casual manner.

It’s almost time to get married and have kids...Franca found this both funny and helpless.

"Captain..." Mr. "Xingxing" behind Officer Deng reminded again.

Officer Deng smiled:
"I almost forgot, I came to you today to ask you something.

"Call all your friends over here."

When Jana led Ludwig and Anthony to the entrance area, Officer Deng took out a photo:
"Have you seen this man?"

The man in the photo had his hair and eyebrows dyed burnt yellow, and his facial features were not very deep. He looked like the Messenger of God, Danitz.

"Yes," Lumian replied, pretending to be thoughtful. "He handed us a flyer last night. What was it called?"

He turned his gaze to Janna.

Jana, who was holding Ludwig's hand, said:
"His surname is Da, but I don't remember his specific name. He wants to recommend a suitable cram school for my child. I plan to go and take a look when I have time."

Seeing that Lumian and Janna acted like an old married couple with a child, Officer Deng glanced between the two of them, and back and forth between Lumian and Franca.

Today's young people...

"Did something happen to him?" Lumian asked curiously.

Officer Deng simply said:
"He didn't return to his place last night, his roommate reported him missing, and we are investigating everyone he had contact with last night."

Franka and Janna resisted the urge to look at Lumian, and Lumian spoke the truth:
"He handed us flyers, talked for a few minutes and then left."

Officer Deng and Mr. "Xingxing" asked some more details and took notes.

After they left and they sat back at the dining table, Franca looked at Lumian and asked with concern:
"Is the body of the angel still in that mirror?"

Lumian took out the corresponding mirror and checked it:
"Still."

There is still a mirror world here, and Lumian can also enter and exit freely, but the range in which he can directly locate different mirrors has been reduced to five hundred meters. If the mirrors that have already mastered the positioning want to shuttle back and forth, the distance between the two sides cannot exceed ten kilometers, otherwise there will be a danger of getting lost in the tunnel of nothingness.

Janna nodded:
“Then yesterday’s first guess can be ruled out.

“The key things that Mr. Fool’s dream identity didn’t know and had never heard of will also become real and will evolve further.”

The remaining two guesses are that the dummies in the dream all have part of Mr. Fool's subconscious integrated into them, and that the death of God's messenger was done by Tianzun's men.

The two are not completely opposite and can be true at the same time.

Lumian said, “Hmm.”
"If it was done by Tianzun's men, the disappearance of the body will also make them suspicious. In addition to the police, they should be the next people to investigate the whereabouts of the God's messenger. We have to pay attention to them."

After discussing this for a while, Lumian glanced at the wall clock that had long stopped ticking, and then looked at the sky outside:
"It seems to be getting late."

Franca took out her cell phone, turned on the screen, glanced at it and said:

"It's time to go out. Mr. Fool will be leaving for the company soon."

Lumian thought for a moment and said to Franka:

"I was worried that I would run into Amon again if I took a taxi, so I found out online last night that there is also the option of renting a car. Although it costs more money, it is safer and more hidden.

"can you drive?"

"I have a driver's license." Franka blinked and said, "The ID provided by Ms. Justice also has a driver's license."

"I asked if you can drive," Lumian emphasized with amusement.

Franka was furious:
“I got my driver’s license in college, but before I graduated, I, uh, came to Intis. Where could I get a car to drive?

"If you ask me if I can drive, I can only answer you that I have a driver's license."

She thought that Anthony, who was experiencing the dream world, should have guessed that she came from a different world.

Without waiting for Lumian to ask again, she said confidently:

"With the Beyonder's vision, hearing, reaction ability, and physical coordination, plus my driving common sense, I don't think driving is a problem. Didn't you quickly master how to use chopsticks yesterday?"

"Then let's rent a car." Lumian made the decision.

Although Franka felt bad about the money, she suppressed the feeling when she thought that she could still borrow a lot more.

Before the repayment date, maybe we will complete the task and leave the dream!
…………

In a parking space opposite a building.

Lumian and others sitting in the gray car looked intently through the filmed windows at the white-collar workers who were entering the building in a hurry or leisurely.
