Chapter 89: The Strange Restaurant

Dark green-painted cars slowly spin rubber tires as they pass by the damp smell of the intersection.

The choking smoke from the chimney filled the streets,

The rain rushed down on him, and the exhaust fumes were shattered and disappeared by the fine raindrops at the first time, and only the disgusted expressions could be seen on the faces of the townspeople who walked by with their noses covered.

"Ahem"

There is also the sound of coughing.

From the intersection down the broken brick sidewalk, behind a thin pine tree in the north aisle, there is a restaurant that exudes a quirky atmosphere.

Looking at the expressions of people passing by, it is obvious that there is something extraordinary hiding inside.

The restaurant is flanked by iron bars tied with gold wires, representing the doorway of high society, and on both sides of the door frame are lit two lampshades with eagle patterns, the light is mild and eerie, and in the rain and fog, hazy.

A neat red carpet is laid out on the stairs, cushioned at the edge of the path, and the corners are rolled up.

Imagine

A woman in a luxurious white pleated skirt gently hugged her young and handsome British male companion in a tuxedo with a happy smile on her face.

They sat down in chairs under the gentle lighting, enjoyed the warm atmosphere, ordered a French foie gras, and shared the melt-in-the-mouth warmth with each other.

"Well, that's really elegant and wonderful~ cough cough hahaha!"

Li Zu was standing at the door of the restaurant, his shoulders shaking.

The dangerous aura in the dining room, like two iron hooks, pulled the corners of his mouth, pulled to both sides, and raised upward.

Squeak~!

As the white door was pushed open, the scene inside Count Greno's dining room was completely unfolded in front of Li Zu.

"Cut" his face made no secret of his disappointment at the sight behind the door.

It's not that the scene in the Earl's Dining Room is terrifying, on the contrary, it's very special, special...... Clean!

"What about the fingers? What about heads? What about the dismembered girl? How nothing! Li Zu did not hide his emotions, but it was inevitable that people would be refreshed when they heard this, and the residents who passed by were shocked, looked at Li Zu in horror, and listed him as one of the dangerous elements in their hearts.

Before pushing open the door, Li Zu had already imagined the world behind the door, with stumps, monsters, and blood...... But when he really pushed the door open, all that was revealed in front of him was neatness beyond common sense.

The unusually neat dining room, neatly arranged tables and chairs, as Li Zu opened the door, the fresh air came to his face.

Li Zu pushed the door and walked into the restaurant with a disappointed mood.

He approached a dining table, and the four chairs did not leave the slightest stain, like a table top that had been deliberately arranged by the salesperson when it was not sold, not only neat, but also the smell of carefully selected perfumes.

Plates are carefully placed on the table, knives and forks are placed left and right, gently pressing the tablecloth, without a trace of wrinkles.

No one can associate the elegant and neat restaurant in front of them with the restaurant that will make women disappear.

It's a restaurant, one that is attentive enough.

"Hmm~" Li Zu took a deep breath The smell in the air was very strange, it was the taste of careful cooking, the raw materials could not be smelled, but it had an uncomfortable aroma, and a large amount of cheese had been put in it, and the smell after baking was very recognizable.

Standing doesn't look like a detective tracking down missing people, but rather like a traveler, visiting as if no one was on the first floor.

Maybe it's a story rumored outside,

There is also no half of the restaurant in sight at this time.

But things don't stop there.

Soon, Li Zu had an unexpected gain.

On a wooden table near the ordering bar sat a half-written letter.

The letter was addressed to "Mr. Robert Sloegmorton". ”

"Does this have anything to do with that orangutan face?" Li Zu picked up the letterhead, he was Detective Charles Reed's employer, and now all Reed's actions were under his orders.

Li Zu thought of the "colleague" who was as mentally abnormal as himself, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and put his eyes on the letter again.

With his vocabulary, he can only read approximately......

"Count's Restaurant Greno is honored to have you here, I will present you with the most sumptuous and perfect meal, please take care of your stomach, prepare your noble stomach, waiting for me to bring you a wonderful gastronomic journey!"

"Head Chef ......"

The name that followed was still unfinished, and the letter seemed to be missing only the signature of a chef and the mailing of the letter, targeting Sloegmorton, the white ape-man.

A letter of little use.

After making a simple conclusion, Li Zu completely threw the letter aside.

On the first floor of the restaurant, after a few reluctant turns, Li Zu's eyes turned to the basement, judging from the previous experience, the basement is the final destination in the hearts of the people of Oakmont.

"Locked" Li Zu pushed the basement door, motionless.

He had to give up the idea of going to the basement for a moment and head towards the second floor.

On the second floor, it's still as clean as new, except for a table with an eerie candle lit and a set of plates on the table.

The food on the plate has been eaten.

"This guest looks anxious"

Li Zu touched the stains on the tablecloth, the tablecloth that his fingers had scratched, and there were still finger marks on it.

"He must have been hungry!"

Li Zu walked downstairs and rushed towards the basement again.

Bang, the bullet pierced the door lock.

The basement door shook violently.

With a kick on the door, the whole door collapsed.

Li Zu walked into the door with his left hand in his pocket and a gun in his right hand, crooked shoulders.

His gaze swept over the bloodstains at the door, the iron hooks that hung two steps away from the slaughterhouse for hanging the carcasses of cattle and sheep, the unclean human skulls in the iron basin, the basin of filth, the torn clothes of women......

ultimately

Stop at the white chef holding a knife, wearing a red and white apron, and freeze in place to look at Li Zu in shock.

"If it disturbs your meal......"

Li Zu looked at the man's "dining table", on which were lying pieces of red meat and chopped onions, which were marinated and tasted.

"Ahh

The chef howled and threw the meat cleaver in his hand at Li Zu.

And when Li Zu dodged sideways, he quickly grabbed the pistol on the table.

Poof-

The bullet burst in, piercing through the chef's left temple, across his entire brain, and finally leaving a clear bullet hole in the wall.

“…… Then I'm sorry."

Li Zu's words had just been finished.

Before the words fell, Li Zu had already turned around and left.

Killing, eating people, making people into dishes.

He wasn't interested, so flat, like the corners of his mouth that hadn't been raised.

"I knew I would have followed Reed to investigate the mirror," Li Zu walked out of the door of Count Grinau's restaurant, pouting boredly, and striding down the wet street.

Now he only hopes that Dr. Grant will not let him down too much.
