Chapter 43: He's Lying
"Detective Lewis, you're really good at making black tea." Moses. Mario took a sip of black tea and began to speak.
"The incident happened just two or three hours ago, when the detective across from you, Mr. Bernie, had met with a beautiful lady, supposedly to celebrate the imminent departure of a certain detective from the Night Vanilla Neighborhood.
When he met with the other party, he heard that the lady's family had undergone a drastic change, from the daughter of a wealthy businessman to the point of selling her body in a brothel.
In order to help the poor lady, Mr. Bernie decided to lend her all his money, a total of a thousand pounds, to the lady so that she could get out of her predicament. ”
"It seems to be a simple fraud, there are always some idiots who are not very good at their brains, they are either confused by beauty, or they just think they have found true love." Lewis scoffed at this, as a detective, he could be deceived by such a low-level trick, and he called the police afterwards, Detective Bernie is simply a shame on their detective industry.
"You're right, but if that's all there is, we won't come to you." Moses. Mario continued, "Mr. Bernie called the police afterwards, and he didn't understand why he agreed to lend him a thousand pounds, when they were only meeting for the second time. In addition, Detective Bernie claims that he can't remember the details of the money he borrowed at all, and he doesn't even remember what the other person looks like, and can only describe the other person's face as somewhat rounded, and his name is Triss, which may just be a code name. ”
Lewis's heart sank suddenly, and he heard that Moses. When Mario describes it in the second half, Lewis knows about Bernie. Cooper encounters an extraordinary event, but he didn't expect the other party to meet Triss.
"He was cheated out of all his money by a man!"
Lewis sympathizes with Detective Bernie's plight and can't help but laugh, because he is moving out of the block, Detective Bernie asks a lady out to celebrate, only to meet the witch Triss, who is not only cheated of his feelings but also of all his savings.
Congratulations!
"If I were to analyze, I would just tell you that Detective Bernie was lying, and he must have been willing to borrow money, but for some reason he reversed himself afterwards. Until now, he still has a little affection for that woman in his heart, so he doesn't want to tell you what that lady looks like. Lewis said in a deep voice.
Triss is a witch, and a witch has no ability to rewrite a person's memories, so it is certain that Detective Bernie is lying.
A person who was seduced by a witch was normal to take out money under the emotional impulse at that time. Of course, there are not a few people who calm down afterwards and regret it.
Moses. Mario frowned and thought about it, and the old gentleman next to him had a look of surprise in his eyes. Mario's description shows that Detective Bernie is lying.
Actually, if it weren't for Bernie. He was there when the detective reported the crime, and noticed Detective Bernie's wandering eyes, which even he couldn't tell.
"Mr. Lewis, you are such an experienced detective." The old gentleman took off his beret excitedly, and couldn't help but be in awe, and said, "If you can, please let me take over this detective agency, I have some experience in being a detective." ”
Lewis glanced at the old gentleman in surprise. Mario hurriedly introduced: "This is a retired officer of mine, whose dream is to be a detective, and I happened to hear about the magic of Mr. Lewis, and wanted to discuss with you the various cases in the city of Tingen. ”
Moses. Mario sighed and said helplessly: "It's just that I didn't expect Mr. Lewis to transfer the detective agency." ”
"I'm sorry for that, but I'm willing to give this office to this officer." Lewis smiled.
After some discussion, he collected ten pounds for the rent of the shop and the cost of the consultation, and then told Moses that he had to go to the train station.
Tonight, he's going to get on the train to Beckland, away from the shadow of Seal 0-08 for a while.
……
It's a chilly night in Tingen, and in an alley not far from the East End Workhouse, a man with dirty, smelly clothes and the smell of alcohol swaying through it.
Unlike the average poor man, he has strong muscles, and a scar under the corner of his eye seems to tell the story of his glorious deeds.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, and a frightened expression appeared on the scarred man's face, and he made a "ho-ho" sound in his throat, and then collapsed into a filthy puddle.
The dark shadow revealed in the not-bright moonlight, and she wore a black cloak and held a bloodstained dagger in her hand, and she could tell that it was a thin lady.
"Bang!" Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, and the woman was shot in the shoulder.
She glanced at the place where the gunshots had come from, and then a powerful thrust erupted under her feet, and she ran in the direction of the train station in the distance.
……
In the evening, Lewis finally got his ticket to Beckland, and the train had arrived, and the crowd turned into a torrent and poured towards the entrance.
Lewis glanced back at the city shrouded in night, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Judging from the memories he inherited, the original owner of the body has not left this small city for more than ten years, and he has a deep affection for this small city.
"I'll come back one day, but I already have an extra quill." Lewis smiled indifferently, and then followed the crowd and squeezed onto the train to Beckland.
As the train whistle sounded, the massive train made the sound of steel grinding, a mechanical force that made Lewis in awe.
Across from Lewis's seat was a beautiful young lady with blonde hair, with snow-white skin and a small face, somewhat resembling a legendary elf.
Of course, Lewis knew that in this world, elves, giants, and dragons had not appeared for a long time.
The beautiful young lady seemed to see Lewis, and she smiled faintly, making her expression even more charming.
Lewis suddenly felt a sensation in his lower abdomen, nodded politely to the lady, and then got up and went to the lavatory at the end of the carriage.
He hadn't tasted a witch in days since Triss's incident, which made him feel an irrepressible desire.
Thanks to the fact that Lewis himself is already a "machine" of Sequence Eight, and he is close to completely digesting potions, this makes him usually not show anything unusual, but at that moment just now, he suddenly felt a little uncontrollable.
As soon as he walked outside the bathroom, Lewis's body was bumped, and he felt a powerful impact, and a thin woman hit him.
Fortunately, he himself is an extraordinary person, so he can easily defuse this impact and not be carried by the other party and fall into the carriage.
"Miss Cherry, why are you here?" Lewis looked to the end of the other carriage, and he sensed a not-so-strong sense of danger that someone was chasing Cheley.
