"Siren?" Inspector Pine frowned.

"It's said to be a female Siren, a mermaid." The fat man smiled flatteringly.

In a narrow sense, the Kraken generally refers to mermaids.

In fact, there are very different types of krakens, including single-tailed mermaids, two-tailed mermaids, human snake tails, half-human and half-bird...... Wait a minute.

Among them, because the two-tailed mermaid is good by nature, in the long process of reproduction, countless krakens and krakens were born with different races. [Note 1]

Therefore, the Kraken clan is very large.

- In the definition of humans, those who usually have intelligence are krakens, and those who follow the instincts of beasts are krakens.

"Is the source reliable?"

"It was found by Lady Black Cat's mice, but she can't come up with any more evidence."

"Where exactly did you find it?"

"In the Rutherford Avenue sewers, her rats smelled it."

"She's not tracking?"

"Of course she tracked it down, but she lost her rats, otherwise she wouldn't have sold me the news." The fat man said.

Pine nodded.

If Mrs. Black Cat had evidence and sold the news to the Sheriff's Office, the reward would undoubtedly be more generous.

Of course, even if there is no evidence, the Sheriff's Department will accept it and even give a certain reward.

But the reward amount is still too small.

It's not that the Sheriff's Department is unwilling to pay more, it's that the project is too pitiful.

Ten messages, nine falsehoods.

"Outsourcing" is the most economical approach.

For outsourcers, it seems that they need to bear the loss of filtering messages, but in fact, they also have a "degree of flexibility" that the official does not have.

- That is, you can reduce costs and make profits by repeatedly selling information.

Inspector Pine then asked for details and other information, then pulled a few coins out of his pocket and threw them on the table.

"Mr. Pine, you're so polite."

The fat man was polite, but his movements were unambiguous, and he stretched out his fingers, which were as thick as turnips, and deftly carried the silver coin away.

After collecting the money, he suddenly looked at Li Shenzhi: "If I guessed correctly, you are Mr. Landon Darius, right?" ”

Li Shenzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You're well-informed." Pine laughed.

"Hehe, who doesn't know that the Fourteenth District Sheriff's Office has produced a red-haired fierce man who used his body as bait to capture the Creeper alive?"

The fat man slapped his ass without a trace:

"Mr. Langdon, my name is Wallis. At Tudor, I bet no one is better informed than I am, except, of course, officially. If you're looking for something, look for me. ”

"Really? I hope we have a happy cooperation in the future. Li Shenzhi replied politely.

Then the two sides exchanged a few words, and Li Shenzhi and the two said goodbye and left.

After walking away, Pine said:

"Be careful of that fat man, you can't believe all his words, otherwise, you won't know how to die."

Li Shenzhi raised his eyebrows: "Will he sell false information?" ”

"It can't be said that it is false information, he is an ordinary person after all, and sometimes it is normal to not be able to distinguish the news, and ...... Some cults will also spread false news through them to paralyze the Sheriff's Office. Pine explained.

"I see." Li Shenzhi nodded: "Is the Kraken still investigating?" ”

"Check, Mrs. Black Cat is a cautious person, since the news comes from her, most of them can't be wrong. In addition, the Kraken is the minion of the Lord of the Deep Sea, and whether this news is true or not, it is necessary to investigate. ”

Pine said, and then looked at Li Shenzhi with a solemn face: "I will report this matter to Sheriff Gold, and you may be asked to cooperate in the investigation, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Li Shenzhi bowed: "I know." ”

As a seafront city, Tudor has a well-developed sewer system, and the main road is 16 feet wide, making it an underground labyrinth.

But even so, it is still very unfriendly to terrestrial humans.

Once attacked, it is easy to return to the arms of the god of navigation when it loses the space to move around.

Therefore, it is necessary to arrange for mosaics with matching abilities to participate in the survey.

This point Li Shenzhi is quite in line with the situation.

On the one hand, with the body of a maggot, he is not afraid of conventional knife and gun attacks;

On the other hand, from the perspective of the Sheriff's Department, although he is only embedded with a creeper and cannot perfectly possess the creeper's ability to "break into pieces", he can still activate some limbs to peek into some hidden corners.

Therefore, it is highly likely that they will be asked to cooperate in the investigation.

Back to business.

After learning about the Kraken, Pyne apparently had no intention of staying.

He hurriedly introduced the mysterious market to Li Shenzhi and left.

Li Shenzhi also had no intention of staying.

However, he still patiently took a turn around, looked east and west, and even bought two occult books before leaving the mystery market.

Back home, Caroline prepared dinner as usual.

Seeing this, Li Shenzhi sighed in his heart.

Hiring servants is not all good.

Especially for him, who has more and more secrets, he often needs to avoid servants in order to do things.

Looks like we have to change the rules of service.

Thinking of this, Li Shenyi asked while enjoying dinner, "Ms. Caroline, take the liberty of asking, where do you live?" Is it far from here? ”

"I live on Avenue Vebron in the 11th arrondissement, and there's a 2p metro ride, not too far."

"2 penny subway? I remember the nearest exit was on Colby Street, right? It's still a bit far! In this way, you can make dinner and put it on the table in the future, and you don't have to wait for me. ”

"It's okay, Mr. Langdon." Caroline waved her hand.

"You're welcome, go back early, you can also accompany your family, clean up your housework, don't worry, your salary won't be reduced." Li Shenzhi thinks he is empathetic.

Caroline, who felt Mr. Langdon's kindness, was simply entangled in her heart.

Of course she wanted to go back sooner.

However, if she goes back early, she won't be able to get leftovers!

However, she could not say this, not because she was embarrassed, but because she was afraid that Mr. Langdon would suspect that she had filled her pockets and deliberately cooked more dinner.

"Thank you, Mr. Langdon, I'll go back sooner later. By the way, after you've had dinner, put the cutlery on the table, and I'll come and clean it up in the morning. ”

Caroline didn't dare to disobey Langdon.

I thought to myself, this weather dinner can't be bad overnight.

"Well, let's go back early!" Li Shenzhi waved his hand.

So fast?

Caroline didn't expect Mr. Langdon to be so resolute, so she could only pack up her personal belongings and leave work.

After Caroline left, Li Shenzhi breathed a sigh of relief, divided the dinner by two, and then returned to the bedroom, and at the same time separated a part of his limbs and drilled into the sewer along the leaky hole of the vegetable sink.

……

……

At this time, Natalie, a mermaid hiding in a conch, regrets it!

She shouldn't have left the sewers recklessly;

Siren tears should not be handed over.

Losing the Siren's Tears illusion disguise, her exposure risk skyrocketed.

In this place of filth and filth, darkness and madness are already bred.

In that disgusting darkness, I don't know how many malicious eyes are hidden.

Those whispering filthy rats always wandered in her path with ill intentions, and even found her hiding conch several times.

These rats are certainly not to be feared, but she cannot be awake and vigilant at all times.

She needs to rest and regain her energy.

However, the current situation obviously drove her crazy.

She had thought about seeking refuge from the terrible being, but from what had happened that day, it was clear that he had no interest in her, who was as weak as a worm.

It can even be said that if she hadn't offered the siren's tears, the other party might have eaten her soul.

Boldly praying for His protection, I am afraid that what I will receive is not help, but the cure for all troubles - death.

"Gotta leave, stay any longer, I'm going to go crazy."

Natalie, who had just become familiar with the Tudor sewers, decided to leave her comfort zone with Silver Fang.
