Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"It's as cold as an ice lump, but it's also warm?"

"The size is just about right, I guess."

"Who are you trying to scare here, a guy who dropped out of secondary school and pretended to be a policeman?"

"Be careful, I'll get someone to report you to the nearby police station."

Lin Nuo kept smiling and replied in a relaxed tone.

He didn't look afraid of the night watchman in front of him at all.

He acted very calm.

Are you an Extraordinary?

I do not know!

All I know is that you are a 19-year-old perverted woman whose parents have both passed away and who is homeless and has been sleeping in various cemeteries for two years.

Klein's legs went weak and he almost fell to his knees after hearing Lin Nuo's outrageous speech.

This is Ms. Daly! This is the genius that the Night Temple is paying attention to!

Didn’t you see that the faces of the night watchmen behind her were blushing?

A night watchman in a gray windbreaker frowned when he heard Lin Nuo insulting his companion and wanted to step forward.

But Dai Li raised her hand to stop him.

After hearing what Lin Nuo and Daly said, Dr. Allen still couldn't figure out the relationship between the two, but he still chose to believe Lin Nuo's words, so he said:

"Are you really the police?"

"Do you have official police credentials?"

Although Alan also wanted to call the police, he didn't want to be deceived by a fake policeman with unknown origins.

It's not like he hasn't come into contact with some police officers before.

The temperament and dress of these men in gray are completely different from those of ordinary police officers.

"This is our document."

Daly said as she looked at Alan with a smile in her green eyes.

"Senior Inspector?"

Alan took over and exclaimed.

He turned and looked at Lin Nuo suspiciously.

How could a woman without higher education become Backlund's senior inspector?

“But she really didn’t go to college.”

Lin Nuo explained to Dr. Allen.

"Hehe, three gentlemen, if you still have doubts about my identity, how about I take you to the police station to talk slowly?"

Daly smiled slightly sinisterly from under the black hood of her weird face.

Lin Nuo looked past her and glanced at the Beyonder who looked like Nightmare.

"I'm a reporter, Alan is a doctor, and Sherlock is a detective."

"We are here to investigate the missing patient of Dr. Allen."

"We have found Will Auceptin's body. After examination, we found no obvious injuries on his body. He only carried a tarot card."

Lin Nuo said this as he pulled his hand back from behind and showed the Wheel of Fortune in his hand.

Dr. Allen was visibly stunned when he saw the familiar tarot card.

The body is already so rotten, and you still have the mood to search it?

Who is the detective between you and Sherlock?

Dr. Allen couldn't help but compare in his mind Lin Nuo, who was calmly investigating the scene, with Sherlock, who was supporting him and comforting him.

It was obviously Detective Sherlock who he hired to investigate.

Lin Nuo just came here to lend a hand out of curiosity and concern.

Aren't your two roles reversed?

After seeing the Wheel of Fortune in Lin Nuo's hand, Dai Li remembered the recent thief Black Emperor and took the card.

When she took the card, she also glanced at the black gloves Lin Nuo was wearing.

Although it looks like an ordinary glove at first glance, the stitching is actually surprisingly good.

This guy's taste is as good as ever.

Chapter 227 Ex-girlfriend

"Your unauthorized inspection of the body has had a negative impact on our subsequent investigation."

After taking the tarot cards, Daly immediately put a hat on Lin Nuo and the other two.

"This lady who somehow became a senior inspector."

"The duty of journalists is to expose the injustice and dark side of society."

"The Church of Night has commissioned several newspapers to organize a survey on the living conditions of various classes in the East District, Dock District, and Factory District."

"A doctor's duty is to care about the recovery of every patient he is responsible for treating and has treated."

"The detectives' role is to supplement the scarce police resources."

"For some missing persons cases that are difficult for the police to investigate, we will investigate them thoroughly and give our clients a clear explanation and answer."

"We three gentlemen with formal jobs have chosen to come together to search for a missing child because of a commitment that we each hold in our hearts."

"If you keep this attitude, maybe my lawyer will be willing to talk to you all night."

Lin Nuo directly said a bunch of high-sounding words.

After he finished speaking, Klein didn't mention it. At least Dr. Allen's originally nervous expression regained his composure.

Although he had been investigating Will Auceptin partly because of the nightmares he had been having.

But in his heart he was always thinking about the child whom he failed to save during the operation.

"You are still as eloquent as ever."

"I wonder how many naive and ignorant girls in Backlund have been deceived by this mouth."

"From the fact that you don't take me, a senior inspector, seriously, I can imagine that the girl you deceived must have an unusual family background, right?"

Daly Simone looked at Lin Nuo and saw that he was not afraid of her at all. Instead of getting angry, she smiled and teased him.

He never seemed to be afraid of her.

This was true even though she had been shunned by others in the past, even though she liked cold feelings and being close to corpses due to psychological trauma and the effects of potions, and always wandered around cemeteries, slept in front of graves.

Lin Nuo was one of the few people who dared to call her a pervert in front of her.

The rest of the men are just cowards who only dare to fantasize about her behind her back.

The Night Watchman, who had originally developed a slight favorable impression of Lin Nuo after hearing his upright words, once again showed a slight decline in his attitude toward Lin Nuo.

I thought you had a clear conscience, but it turns out you are just fearless?

Or rely on women...

"Madam Inspector, I don't like having a meaningless argument with you in front of the ghost of a child."

“Why should the quarrels of adults involve innocent children?”

"We now have so many professions here: doctors, journalists, detectives, police officers, grave keepers."

"Rather than letting this poor child lie alone in the ground and not rest in peace, why don't we quickly collect all the clues and take this poor child to the church of the Church of the Night to receive a mass. May his soul rest in peace under the blessing of the goddess, and then choose a cemetery and a coffin to bury him?"

Lin Nuo spread his hands, held his forehead with his hand and sighed helplessly.

He now behaved like a caring husband who did not want to have a conflict with the beautiful opposite sex and disturb his sleeping children.

"I will pay for the child's mass and burial."

"I wouldn't mind personally carrying the child's remains to the nearest church affiliated with the Church of Evernight."

Without any sense of incongruity, Lin Nuo drew a crimson moon on his chest by dotting four times clockwise.

"Praise the goddess."

"May your glory bless this child who was once blessed by you."

With an extremely holy and pious look, he prayed for the favor of the Goddess of Night for Will Auceptin.

Everyone who witnessed this scene could only follow his actions no matter what attitude they had towards Lin Nuo.

Alan tapped his chest four times clockwise and chanted in a low voice, "Goddess of the Night, who is higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity, your devout believer prays for your favor..."

Daly, members of the Nightwatch team, and gravekeepers, all followers of the Goddess of Night, also nodded four times clockwise and chanted in a low voice, "Goddess of Night, who is higher than the starry sky and longer than eternity, your devout followers pray for your favor..."

Only Klein awkwardly and out of place drew a triangular holy emblem on his chest and muttered to himself:

"God of steam and machinery, your unreligious believer prays for your favor..."

After the prayer, Klein found that the atmosphere in the field was obviously not as tense as it was at the beginning.

A night watchman politely but distantly took Lin Nuo and the other two aside to wait for them to inspect Will Auceptin's body.

Dr. Allen had a good chat with the night watchman.

Lin Nuo would occasionally interject a few words, and although the Nighthawk was still unhappy with him, he would also respond.

And Klein...he found himself seemingly forgotten and isolated by these followers of the Night...

Although this is a good thing for him...

But Klein felt a little uncomfortable, a little admiring, and a little distressed when he saw that Lin Nuo, a pagan, pretended to be more pious than him, a former night watchman.

The good news is that his identity was not exposed, and Lin Nuo was able to fool people about the Wheel of Fortune.

The bad news is that his Blasphemous Card may not be coming back.

Although it's not completely impossible, the card of blasphemy is normally completely invisible.

But the chances are slim...

Klein covered his heart, which was throbbing with pain, and felt like crying.

Why is my luck so bad? Why did Ms. Daly come?

Otherwise, it would be easy for him and Lin Nuo to cooperate to hide a card.

The more Klein thought about it, the more his heart ached.

It would have been better for him not to have seen the Wheel of Fortune in the first place.

After a while, when Lin Nuo was thinking that he would have to skip work again today.

Daly came over with another Nighthawk.

"Let's go back to the police station. You still need to make a statement."

She also carried a sack on her back.

"My dear Madam Inspector, if you don't mind, please allow me and my friends to hire a few carriages."

"You wearing a black robe and a hood and carrying a sack really affects our overall image."

Lin Nuo covered his eyes and said as if he couldn't bear to watch.

"If you're willing to pay for it yourself, I have no problem with that."

"But if the three of you want to abandon us and take the carriage, I can only assume that you are absconding for fear of crime."

Daley said with a smile on her face.

"I'll pay for the carriage rental."

Dr. Allen spoke before Lin Nuo could.

How could he possibly let Lin Nuo help him pay for it?
