Chapter 19: Finding the Smell of Perfume
Ruili watched Chris disappear into a fog, but Wald Rue turned around angrily and reprimanded his men one by one.
In the room just now, Neikris has left a good impression on Ruili, Ruili is now a little worried about Chris, she wants to help Chris deal with Walter Lu, but she can't find any way.
She wanted to ask Mir for help, but she wasn't sure if Mir would help her, after all, Chris was French and not the same kind of person as Mir.
While Ruili was hesitating, Vincent, who was beside her, seemed to be watching the argument at the door of the hotel outside the window.
"Inspector Louie, one of our too?" Vincent asked.
Mir's eyes remained on the drawings, and he replied, "Although he and I are very good friends, we are only working together to investigate the murder at the moment. ”
Ruili sighed lightly and sat down, she wanted to lead the conversation to Chris's dilemma: "I heard the general say that only you can investigate this murder case." ”
Mill smiled and said to Ruili, "Uncle Amos overestimated me, in fact, it was the French police department, and their incompetent performance angered Uncle Amos. ”
"Mr. Edward, I feel that you have the ability to solve it, otherwise you would never have taken on such a difficult case." Ruili held her chin in her hand and said as she stared at Mir with envy.
"I took it, it doesn't mean that I have the ability to solve the case, I am out of helplessness, and Ian is my most loyal friend."
Mir said this, and then immediately stopped his mouth, he didn't want to express what was really in his heart.
"And they, what are we going to do next?" Ruili asked.
Mir looked up, looked at Ruili and said, "They haven't really me off yet. ”
Ruili seemed to be politely rejected by Mir, most likely Mir had already heard what she was trying to say, and she didn't want to continue asking, for fear that Mir would find out.
Mir rolls up the construction drawings and gives them to Ruili, telling her to hide them and let her stay in the house to rest, and if she is afraid, Mir is going to open another room for her.
To Mir's surprise, Ruili agreed to stay in the house.
"Aren't you afraid of ghosts? Ruili? Mir asked curiously.
Ruili turned her head, glanced out the window and said, "There's light outside, I don't think it dares to appear in front of me." ”
Ruili then removed her flintlock pistol, turned the head, and pointed the muzzle at the ceiling.
There was a loud "pop", a hole in the roof leaking a plate, and the thick white mist fell lightly, almost distorting the people in the house.
Mill stared at the roof and exclaimed, "Oh my God! Ruili! You're in trouble. ”
"I'm really sorry, I just wanted to show my bravery, the gun went off, and the roof couldn't stop the strength of the bullet." Ruili said like a child who made a mistake, she lowered her head.
"Vincent, you go and check in the corridor, don't alarm the people at the hotel, especially the owner." Mir commanded immediately.
When Vincent opened the door, Martin leaned against the door of 320 with sleepy eyes and began to mumble, "Are you still alive?" I can't believe it. ”
"OMG! What is that? The sun? Martin walked into the room and was shocked.
Ruili erupted in anger and shouted, "Shut your mouth! Martin, do you want the whole hotel to hear it? ”
"Then I'll go back to sleep!"
This completely surprises Mir, why would Ruili get angry at Martin for no reason, he was almost frightened by Ruili's roar, Mir thinks that Ruili seems to be more terrifying than a ghost.
An idea arose in Mir's mind that he needed to stay away from Ruili, and he was even more worried that Ruili's gun would go off.
"Mr. Edward, Martin was my subordinate, and I think you should understand that I, as a commander, have to be harsh on him." Ruili adjusted her mood and said in the gentlest tone.
Mir shrugged and said, "I understand, Ruili, I understand. ”
"The drawings are in your place first, Ruili, I need to go out to investigate the rest of the situation, and besides, the roof will be repaired, you don't have to worry."
After calming Ruili for the time being, Mir immediately walked out of the room, and then Mir saw Vincent at the end of the hallway.
"Mr. Edward, I didn't find the boss, there seems to be no one in the hotel, it's like everyone is missing." Vincent ran over and said.
"Let's go, Vincent, you go out with me." Mill asked, "Vincent, do you know where there is a custom hall here?" ”
"Hmm... The House of Customs is not near the New Orleans inn, but further away. Vincent could not imagine why Mill went to such a place for pleasure, and he said, "Mr. Edward, you know that I am from St. Louis, and that I am not very familiar with New Orleans. ”
"Oh? Is it? You haven't been here? Mill didn't believe Vincennes wouldn't go to that kind of place, and there was hardly anyone in France, or Louisiana, who didn't aspire to a custom house.
"I came here last year, just to visit friends." Vincent replied.
"Okay, then I'll ask Chris."
As soon as he walked out of the door of the inn, Vincent could not see the scenery in the distance, and said, "Mr. Edward, you are going in the wrong direction, and the Customs Hall is here." ”
Vincent already felt that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately closed his mouth.
Vincent's eyes glanced at Mir, and he saw that Mir was looking at him suspiciously, and said, "My friend took me there that day. ”
"Lead the way, Vincent." Mill said with a smile.
"Mr. Edward, may I say more?" Vincent asked.
Mir nodded and said, "Of course." ”
"I want to ask, what are you going to investigate at the Customs Museum?" Vincent reminded, "That girl is so pretty, I'm afraid you'll ... You know what I mean? ”
"I'm going to investigate the smell of a perfume, don't worry, I don't worry about that kind of place, I can control it."
Vincent was extremely curious and asked, "What is the name of the perfume?" ”
"I don't know exactly what the name is, but I know what it smells like, but you'll need to keep it a secret for me."
Seeing Vincent's loyal and honest appearance, Mill regretted it a little, regretting letting him go to the Custom Hall with him, if Vincent would not pay attention to tell him about going to the Custom Hall, then Martin and Ruili would look at him with strange eyes.
Mir was very unhappy with the plan he had arranged, and didn't arrange things according to everyone's personality, which seemed to dictate everything that came next.
Although Ruili's personality is uncertain, her beautiful appearance can charm everyone, despite this, Mir is still worried about her safety in the room, he hopes that Ruili will not meet the ghost, and they are indistinguishable from each other, especially Ruili's gun, which is even more terrifying than the sudden appearance of the ghost.
