My esoteric uncle Jules

Chapter 49 Arrest
"How did you kill that disobedient guy?"

Looking through the report presented to him, the obese man frowned.

"Didn't I tell you not to make things complicated? You could just find a reason to replace him, but you had to kill him? Do you think my report wasn't detailed enough?"

To him, death is a small matter, but death at this moment is a bit troublesome.

The subordinate in front of him bowed:
"I'm really sorry. It's mainly because the Wellington family has strongly requested that we be compensated later."

The obese man stroked the report and snorted coldly:

"What compensation? This is a human life, can it be measured by money?"

His words were full of righteousness, and there was no sign of his indifferent attitude not long ago.

"They said they were willing to give me the skill of 'controlled fire'."

"Oh?" The fat man's eyes were slightly moved, and he asked quickly:
"In what respect?"

The door suddenly opened, and Sir Revere slowly walked into the room, smiling faintly:

"The art of 'darkness' and 'seeking' can summon unique creatures from the Mansu."

"This skill is not recorded in Silent Bookstore," he emphasized.

Hearing that there was no record of this in the Silent Bookstore, the fat man's expression suddenly became a little serious:

"Can you be sure?"

Sir Revere showed a matter-of-fact expression:
"That's natural. Although we have never practiced it, we have never revealed it to others either."

The obese man fell silent.

The term "Silent Bookstore" is very unfamiliar to outsiders, but the members of the Anti-Suppression Bureau are quite familiar with it.

It is a temple of occult knowledge, and only the most senior scholars can enter it.

Although it suffered a major fire a hundred years ago, it still contains a vast amount of occult knowledge.

If this skill is not recorded in the Silent Bookstore, it means that it is truly a "secret" skill!
His eyes changed for a while, and he said:

"I think the Wellington family sent a representative here specially and gave such a generous gift. I'm afraid it's not just for the life of a mere mortal police officer, right?"

"That's natural," Sir Revere said with a slight curl of his lips, "Mr. Karl of our family doesn't like that Yule very much.

Naturally, he destroyed everything related to it."

……

Jules returned to the apartment in a daze. Seeing Holmes still immersed in the world of books, he opened his mouth and said with difficulty:
"Officer Fate is dead."

Holmes stopped turning the pages of the book, and a calm voice came:
"That police officer... he's quite a nice guy, and quite capable. Was it murder?"

"According to the official line, Jack the Ripper has struck again."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Jules's lips:

"The Ripper is a basket, put whatever you need into it."

After hearing what Jules said, Holmes fell into thought for a while.

"If that's the case, then our current situation is probably more dangerous than we imagined."

Jules remained silent.

The other party even dares to kill people so wantonly, what else don’t they dare to do?

He couldn't help but feel confused in his heart - Carl was just a second-level transcendent, how could he get such support from the Wellington family?

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the window.

"Here comes the one who's coming to catch you." Holmes walked to the window and instantly saw the purpose of the visitor.

Then he turned his head and looked at Jules:

"Aren't you going to run?"

Yule grinned and said:
"I ran away, but what will you do?"

At this time, Lolita was still curled up in her own room and sleeping soundly, completely unaware of anything happening in the outside world.

If he ran away, wouldn't that leave the problem to Holmes and Lolita?
Holmes said nothing more, but simply patted Jules on the shoulder. "I'll stand behind you. Don't be impulsive."

……

Soon, Jules went downstairs and confronted the guards who came to arrest him.

"Mr. Jules, you must understand that resisting arrest is an aggravated crime and imperial law cannot be violated."

The leading member of the Anti-Suppression Bureau was dressed as a police officer, but the mysterious aura he exuded exposed his identity.

However, the other party obviously did not intend to conceal it deliberately, but deliberately used it to intimidate Jules.

Feeling the aura of three extraordinary people in the police team, Yule's eyes became more gloomy.

Is it necessary to make such a big fuss to arrest an ordinary transcendent who is only at the first level and put him in jail?
"I'm curious what law I broke that warranted all this fuss. Arresting a peasant like me would certainly soil your silk gloves, wouldn't it?"

Hearing Jules's sarcastic tone, the visitor snorted and said:
"It's not a big sin, but it's still a sin!"

The three of them took a step forward at the same time in tacit understanding, and the invisible force began to rise and fall like the tide, forming a powerful oppression.

Jules, however, just stood there with his hands behind his back, motionless, with a mocking look on his face:

"Oh? You mean you can't explain exactly what crimes I've committed?"

His hand trembled as he displayed the list of crimes he had prepared in advance and said with a smile:

"Please explain in detail where these crimes come from so that I can be caught."

The crimes listed above were basically fabricated, and only the crime of evading the ticket on the Titanic could be considered a real violation of the law, but it was only a minor offense punishable by detention.

The three of them exchanged glances, and the leader remained calm and said calmly:

"None of this matters. What matters is that we are here with a search warrant and an arrest warrant!"

Two shining certificates were displayed and caught Holmes' eyes, making him even more silent, but the light in his eyes became even brighter.

He suddenly took a step forward and whispered in Yule's ear in a barely audible voice:
"You can't go with them, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Of course," Yule replied in a low voice, then looked at the people in front of him with his eyes narrowed slightly. "I remember that Officer Fate, who was able to issue search and arrest warrants, died in the line of duty not long ago. Where did you get these documents?"

"Of course it's the new police officer." The three of them had smiles on their faces, as if they had Jules in their grasp.

Hearing this, Yule's anger suddenly rose.

The other party was barely putting on any act, the only thing missing was printing the words "Officer Fate's murderer" on his face!

Although he was angry inside, his face was extremely calm:
"In that case, I have nothing to say. All the crimes were committed by me alone and have nothing to do with anyone else."

The three were a little surprised to see that Jules was so sensible.

Just as Jules was about to step forward to accept the shackles, Holmes suddenly grabbed him and shook his head firmly at him.

He simply gave Holmes a reassuring look, then resolutely turned around, lowered his head and offered his hands.

Feeling the cold shackles on his wrists, his eyes became more indifferent.

Taking action here will easily affect Holmes and the others, so let's change the place.

He had tested it before. He could activate the props turned into cards as long as he had the thought in his mind.

Even if they tied him up, he had a way to kill these three people with just a thought!

"It's a pity that my tusk staff might have two teeth broken..."

Jules was feeling regretful when suddenly a familiar shout rang out:

"Put down the shackles!"

He looked up suddenly.

The hot breath hit his face.

Facing the burning sensation, he forced himself to open his eyes. The heavy figure of "Steel" Lutos appeared at the end of his vision, and his voice was like a bell:

"Sorry, I'm late."
