For a stubborn person, no amount of explanation is pale.

Mars was in great pain.

Originally, although he was injured and even lying on the hospital bed, he was not in a bad mood.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, a client who had disappeared inexplicably for a long time suddenly appeared.

The client, named Augusta, considered himself an explorer, but he had long recognized that Augusta was a tomb robber.

But tomb robbers are tomb robbers, in fact, low-level detectives are also doing some things like candid photography, tracking, etc., and often deal with thieves, so he has no discrimination against the tomb robber industry.

Long ago, before he and Alice had established the Trimu Detective Agency, he accepted the commission of the tomb robber Augusta.

The specific content of that commission was to ask him to investigate the specific whereabouts of an antiquarian named Wal-Mart.

And one chance afternoon, he managed to come into contact with the Relic Society before Wal-Mart.

After that, he conducted a certain degree of investigation and understanding of the relic society, and obtained first-hand information.

However, after an initial investigation, he discovered that the relic would be an unfathomable organization, and if he continued to investigate further, he was likely to encounter unimaginable dangers.

So he decisively gave up the investigation, sealed the information he had obtained, and only waited for the client Augusta to come to the door, he handed over the information to him, and then broke away from the whole incident.

But Augusta never appeared.

On the contrary, Alice, the proprietress of the flower shop, was going upstairs to help him with the cleaning, and she stumbled upon the information of the relic society - there is no need to say anything about the rest of the matter.

Alice developed a strong interest in relics, and encountered some extraordinary phenomena on the way to contact the relics society, and then obtained an invitation letter and qualification certificate from the relics society.

Although it is still impossible to figure out whether those invitations and golden chrysanthemum badges were issued by the relics or by Elder Gosen personally, they were indeed the case in the first place.

Alice brought a few old ornaments that were not so precious, and just got a package and went to the first dinner.

Then, at that dinner, I was very lucky to get a "god-given thing", a pendant in the shape of an eye.

She called it the "Eye of Horus", and the reason for the name was that she had heard about the Eye of Horus, but it had nothing to do with the pendant itself.

Later, with the help of the "Eye of Horus", she helped Mars solve several very bizarre cases, almost dragging him on the road to marrying Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of his life.

And after having enough money, he bought a house and created the "Three Eyes Detective Agency".

The "three eyes" of the three-eye detective agency are the metaphorical "eyes of Horus".

……

That's basically the story.

Mars didn't expect Augusta to come to the door suddenly, and what he didn't expect was that Augusta, who appeared in front of him, turned into such a terrifying appearance!

Augusta was originally a short, obese man, and he even had the nickname "Fat Mouse" in the industry.

And now, he's still short and fat!

But his skin outside of his clothes was covered with black or red spots, his head became unusually swollen, and what was even more terrifying was that in the left eye socket covered by the blindfold, there was a mouse!

Mars couldn't imagine how that rat could live in a man's head!

And that person is still standing alive in front of him!

This made him frightened at the first sight of Augusta, but he still tried his best to calm down and wanted to have a normal conversation with Augusta, after all, they were only the relationship between the principal and the entrusted person, and there was no hatred.

However, after Augusta's appearance changed drastically, his mind became unpredictable, and he was sometimes agitated, sometimes he was unlucky, and he took Alice hostage for no reason.

The reason is just to prevent Mars from deceiving him!

Alice's captor was a "man" who emerged from the shadows in the corner of the room, wrapped in a black robe and exposed only a mouse's nose.

Mars suspects that it is a "nezumi" that he has only seen in a comic book.

The "nezumi" dragged Alice into the shadows and disappeared!

If he hadn't happened to see a monster like the "Serpent of History" with his own eyes last night, he would have thought he was hallucinating.

The nezumi captured Alice, and there was nothing he could do, and in despair in his heart, he could only try to cooperate with Augusta.

But before he could explain the matter of the commission to Augusta, Su Xian happened to come to visit the patient with a bouquet of flowers and fruits.

This is obviously unexpected.

Augusta was extremely cautious and timid, and immediately hid in the shadows.

Mars tried his best to calm down, pretending that nothing had happened, and chatted with Sue.

As he chatted, Mars gradually realized that negotiating with a monster like Augusta, even if he finally gave him the information entrusted with the investigation, might not really be able to rescue Alice.

Luckily, he had someone in front of him who could help him.

But given that Augusta was lurking in the shadows of the corner, he didn't dare to call for help directly, and he didn't reluctantly make some hints until Su Xian was about to leave.

But that hint was too reluctant for him to find even himself useful.

He couldn't be sure whether Su Xian realized that something was wrong or not.

……

In the end, in the face of Augusta's urging, Mars couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "Mr. Augusta, I can grant you all your requests, I just hope you don't hurt my wife." ”

Augusta grinned, revealing a mouth full of black teeth: "Detective Mars, this is your own promise, don't let me find out that you are cheating on me, otherwise!" ”

Mars nodded vigorously, "I know." ”

As long as you can find a chance to be alone with Su Xian, everything can still be saved!

……

"Then let's go get the information first."

Mars endured the pain of the wound and sat up from the bed, thinking to himself:

"I still have a lot of time to think about it, and I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. I'm a detective! He's a detective! It will definitely work! ”

He was self-hypnotizing, strengthening his faith, and despite the confusion in his heart, he had to.

But when he put on his coat and put on crutches, and turned his head to look at Augusta, he suddenly found that the humanoid monster that had given him great fear was actually standing there and not moving!

Then there was a sudden "click".

The lock was unscrewed, and a man pushed the door in.
