Chapter 116: The Man Tortured by Rats
As they spoke, they had come to the convent's drawing room, the open door, where many people could be seen, arguing fiercely about something.
There are also people who have the meaning of rolling up their sleeves and making a gesture.
"Speaking of which......" The doorman looked Li Zu up and down and said with a smile, "You really don't look like a rat catcher." ”
The man in front of him was wearing a trench coat without a trace of wrinkles, expensive patent leather boots, and although the buttons of the shirt were a little unkempt, they were not offensive.
And the cane in his hand.
The delicate skull cane in his hand, even the doorman could guess the high value.
Is the ratcatcher talking like that now?
Li Zu said: "Rat catcher? I'm not, I'm a detective. ”
"What?" The doorman was stunned, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait, sir......"
However, Li Zu had already walked into the living room one step earlier, and the red carpet quickly left a few dusty footprints, which were very eye-catching.
The meeting room was buzzing like flies.
Some of them were carrying rat traps, some were holding animal traps, and some were holding strange medicines, and they were arguing fiercely.
"That's it! Everybody! ”
The old man, who was holding a black cat and gently stroking the cat's fur with his hand, interrupted the noisy quarrel.
He was wearing a shirt and suit, and his thin face was full of exhaustion.
The bloodshot in his eyes was intertwined into a web.
"I'm a real estate agent, as you can see, a retired real estate agent...... This monastery is the legacy of my ancestors, and now I am back here just to finish the last part of my life, to feel the breath of my ancestors, to be with them. ”
He sat down wearily and said, "The Abbey of Rackham has been renovated, inside and out, but the rats are so fierce that they have taken root in the walls of the abbey, and possibly in the foundations. His expression became vicious: "Every night, they are gouging in the wall and running around!" They may be the size of a cat or bigger than a dog, and I am going crazy with them. ”
Mr. Drapour's gaze swept over each of the "rat catchers" and said earnestly: "I'm not here to choose a rat catcher, or a rat catcher, I hope that everyone can work together to help me catch all the rats here, as long as I can solve the rats in the wall, I will be paid enough!" ”
The "ratcatchers" who were arguing just now softened their attitudes slightly after hearing these words.
Being able to get a "thank you" from a rich person will help them a lot in their future work.
But no one wants to share their victory with others, and they still prefer to win alone rather than deuce.
Standing on the side and listening to Mr. Drapour's words, Li Zu suddenly realized that Sim's muscular head had coaxed him to come here to catch mice.
"Sir, you're also a ratcatcher?" Old Dlapour noticed Li Zu.
In a group of ratcatchers, there stood a man with extraordinary equipment, and he was very human, and it was impossible to ignore.
"I'm a Detective"
"Detective? I don't have any cases to solve here, sorry...... If you'd like me to introduce you to Captain Norris, you don't have to make much effort. He seems to have seen a lot of people who wanted to help him connect with the military.
Even without waiting for Li Zu to be himself, I introduced him, and he was ready to drive people away.
"Sir......" came a servant hurrying in from outside, and he bent over to Drapour's ear and whispered something.
whispered, but it was amplified in Li Zu's ears.
After the "blood therapy", his body seemed to become very different!
Vision, physical strength, strength, hearing, smell, recovery...... And the urge for blood!
"We had a problem with our store in Innsmouth, our store was shut down by the police, and the Innsmouth police said that it was Burnham who stole and even killed someone!"
"Innsmouth? That hell place! "Old Dlapour didn't seem to like that place.
"Go to Edward...... Forget it, even if he is a good friend of my son, I shouldn't bother him all the time, and besides, we have to settle all this under the watchful eye of the law, go to a detective to investigate the situation first, and see what is going on there. ”
Such a big event happened to the industry under his name, as an old businessman who had been in the "battlefield" for a long time, the old Drappur only frowned slightly, and thought of the fastest way to deal with it.
The Innsmouth police had everything under control, and they had to get some useful information before then.
Old Dlapour stopped, and he looked at the man who had just called himself a detective.
If the man claims to be a ratcatcher, he definitely doesn't believe it, but if the other party claims to be a detective...... Beneath those deep dark eyes, there really seems to be some convincing stories hidden in him.
"What shall I call you, sir?" He was much more polite than just now.
"Bruce Wayne~"
"Mr. Wayne, I'm sorry that I might not need your help with the rat catcher, but I have another errand that might be of interest to you...... Delapel has an antique shop in Innsmouth, a quirky fishing village that always has something special, and the antique shop is mainly responsible for acquiring old and strange historical items."
He said, "I don't believe that my men will be guarding themselves, so can you please help me investigate?" ”
"Innsmouth?"
Li Zu only now realized that he was so close to this magical town, and the journey that was not in his plan seemed to unexpectedly unfold!
"Gladly!"
"Innsmouth is not very kind to people," said Mr. Delapel Sr., "and I hope you will bring me good news tomorrow morning, Mr. Wayne!" The remuneration will definitely make you satisfied. ”
Old Dlapour summoned the doorman: "Send Mr. Wayne back to Arkham, and the information from Innsmouth will also be compiled and handed over to Mr. Wayne!" ”
"Yes!" The doorman bowed his head in agreement.
And when Li Zu's figure left the Rackham Monastery, the servant next to the old Dlappur asked strangely: "The detective named Bruce Wayne, I haven't heard of it..."
"If he can find out something, I won't be stingy with the payment, if not...... He won't get a penny" Old Dlapour looked like he had already calculated: "And, Innsmouth, will you go?" ”
"No, no, no, I'll just stay by your side, sir" The servant shook his head vigorously, Innsmouth, who would want to go to that weird fishing village town that believes in a cult?
Just listening to those stories is enough to make people's hearts skip a few beats.
"I've heard that there are a few well-known detectives in the area, and we should not expect a yellow-skinned detective to help us investigate anything useful."
The servant departed with a command,
The arrangement he made just now was just to find an interface to get rid of Li Zu, whether it was successful or not, there was no one to stop him from catching mice, right?
Old Dlapour cleared his throat: "Guys, I hope that after tonight, I will see the dead corpses of rats!" ”
