Chapter 26: Evil Ritual
As it gets dark, Lewis, who has been affected by the negative effects of magical items, goes to the Wharton Mansion, where he has reason to believe that it will be a wonderful night.
"I'm looking for Miss Serra." Lewis handed the top hat and coat to the waiter, who led him straight into Miss Serra's room.
"Good evening, Mr. Lewis." Seeing Lewis coming, Sierra put down the newspaper, and her originally gloomy face immediately burst into a smile.
"Good evening." Lewis glanced at the newspaper that Serra was reading, the Tingen Morning Post, which was published by the city of Tingen, with yesterday's news printed on the corner of the newspaper, as if two accidental deaths were stacked on top of each other, occupying a corner of the newspaper.
"We're going to hurry up today, Mr. Lewis, and I'm going to be out in the evening." Sierra approached Lewis, and she had a charm that all men couldn't resist.
Lewis, of course, couldn't resist either, and he cleared his head and entered the fascinating world.
In the morning, Lewis woke up from the large velvet bed, and Serra had already left the previous night, supposedly having something to deal with.
Sighing silently, Lewis was a little dissatisfied with his situation last night, he was obviously an invincible general in the past, why did he surrender last night in only half an hour?
However, Lewis is not dwelled, there are always times when people play out of order, even he is no exception.
Asked for a hat and coat from the waiter, Lewis went back to the detective agency, although he has been a prostitute lately, but his money is indeed stretched.
Lewis couldn't help but think about Mandy's current situation, as a person who has lost his fate, where will Mandy be put by Amon?
However, he clearly understood that his current abilities could not retrieve Mandy, and all he could do was to digest the potion and then advance to the next sequence.
Once he's got enough personality or found the right transcendent item, finding Mandy is what he's supposed to do.
Of course, there is also the stupidest way to spend a lot of energy and money to find people who resemble Mandy through the media, but this method is not reliable, because Amon the blasphemer is likely to find out his purpose before he is the first to carry out the prank.
Back at the office, Lewis made a simple breakfast that could barely be swallowed, then made a cup of black tea, sipped the tea slowly, and waited for business to come to the door.
Knock knock!
"Please come in." Hearing a knock on the door, Lewis saw a man in a formal suit with a sign that read "Two Swords Crossed, Crowned" on his shirt pushing the door open.
"Welcome, Mr. Policeman." Lewis put down his tea and smiled.
"I have something I want to entrust to you." The young policeman took off his hat and introduced himself: "I am Moses. Mario, listen to Miss Leona and say that you are a real detective, compared to Bernie on the other side. Cooper is more professional. ”
Miss Leona? Lewis immediately thought of the John's cat, and it turned out that the young lady's name was Leona, which was a beautiful name.
"Miss Leona is so sensible, she introduced business to her door so quickly."
While secretly praising Miss Leona, Lewis put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Miss Leona has won the award, I am just an ordinary detective, and I just happened to help her find 'John'." ”
Moses. Mario was in awe, Detective Lewis found the cat that had been missing for more than a week in half a day, and if this matter was placed with Detective Bernie, I am afraid it would be enough for the other party to boast for a year.
It can be seen that Mr. Lewis is not only a professional master, but also a humble and cautious person, which is the best quality of a detective.
"I hope you will accept my commission, which may be the life of many people." Moses. Mario pulls a newspaper out of his wallet and places it in front of Lewis.
When Lewis saw Moses. Mario was excited when he was in the puff of wallet, but when Moses. When Mario pulls out a newspaper from his wallet, he wants to curse.
I thought a fat sheep came, but it turned out to be just an illusion.
"This is a very big responsibility, please tell us more about your commission." Lewis was a little dissatisfied with what he had just been played, and there was a little more sarcasm in his tone.
"Please take a look at the case of natural death in this newspaper, I took over this case, and my colleagues said it was a natural death, but I don't think so."
Lewis nodded as he listened, Moses. Mario thinks that this incident is man-made, after all, the timing of the deceased's death is too coincidental.
For three days in a row, people from Iron Cross Street died every day due to illness or accidents, and there was even one deceased who had only been diagnosed with mild liver disease a few days earlier.
Prior to the accidental death at Iron Cross Street, a similar incident had occurred in the Eastern District Workhouse.
It was all this because of the coincidence that Moses. Mario police suspect that there is something else hidden in this matter, and that the perpetrators may be too clever in their methods.
Looking at it, Lewis clutched the newspaper tightly, and he remembered one thing, wasn't this the incident of Triss performing an evil ritual?
The deaths of these people are related to supernatural factors, and it is no wonder that the police have not been able to find valuable clues at all.
"Twelve pounds, twelve pounds for commissioning, you have to pay me six pounds upfront for the event, and if it works out, you won't see anything like it in the newspapers tomorrow or the day after. If it fails, I won't return those six pounds either. Lewis immediately set the price, and now that he knew that the witch had done it, he certainly had to take the opportunity to get a handful of wool.
Triss is a Sequence Seven transcendent, and she should have something in her hands, and although this matter is dangerous, Lewis is not afraid of it.
Of course, if it is really dangerous enough, he will definitely choose to run away.
Moses. Mario frowned and nodded, Detective Lewis was able to determine the price just by looking at the newspaper, which is exactly what a true detective should be.
Lewis was reluctant to tell him the specifics, and it was clear that the danger was too great for him to handle.
"Okay." Moses. Mario agreed, and he gave Lewis six one-pound bills and left.
Wait for Moses. Mario leaves, Lewis holds the necklace in his hand, and his spirit gradually becomes ethereal.
"This has to do with Tris......"
After three silent recitations, the necklace stalled, indicating that the divination had been disturbed.
Now, Lewis was even more sure that it was no ordinary coincidence, because his divination had been interfered with.
As far as Lewis knew, Triss killed people in order to take the rest of their lives and use them to perform evil rituals.
And the reason for the evil ritual is naturally to curse some people, some people who cause her to be hunted down.
Of course, even though Triss paid a lot of time and money, her goal was not achieved, only because he met Klein, the son of destiny, who is also the Mr. Fool of their Tarot Society.
Of course, the current Mr. Fool is only a sequence nine.
