Two years earlier, Miss Stephanie had come to Rune on the Normant cruise ship, along with her father, a merchant, and a maid by her side.

"I'd love to know what happened on Miss Stephanie's cruise ship, and perhaps, by listening to this story, I can guess what happened." Lewis gave Stephanie a hope, saying.

Stephanie picked up the beer Lewis had put aside and recalled:

"No sooner had the Normant left the waters of Intis than there was a homicide on board the cruise ship, and the blood of the corpse was almost dry, and there were bite marks on it, which were the marks of human teeth.

The crew went into search of the killer, but the killer was not found, and the tragedy did not happen again for the next few days.

It wasn't until three days before the Normant landed that the problem flared up again, and this time nearly half of the people on board died, and their deaths were even more brutal than the first day, and the bodies were even torn apart, including my father.

Then, on the last day of landing, we encountered pirates.

This time, we were purged by pirates, and I survived hiding in a room below deck, with fewer than 20 survivors leaving the Normante with me. ”

Listening to Stephanie's short narrative, Lewis could already imagine how horrific what happened on the cruise ship in the first place, and even that it was likely to involve supernatural powers.

"There were more than 800 tourists on that cruise ship at that time, and among them must have been the nobles or great merchants of Intis, and these people might have been protected by transcendental beings.

With more than half of the people on board killed or injured overnight, things must not be so simple. ”

Lewis thought for a moment, put on a sad look, and said softly:

"I'm sorry to hear such a sad thing, but I don't know what I can do for you."

"No, it's not Mr. Lewis' fault." Stephanie's face looked a little better, and she felt something in her heart be touched, and the sourness was released at once.

Just then, a thug standing in the corner walked up, said a few words to Stephanie, and then took the other person away.

The billiard room suddenly became empty, and Lewis spread his hands and set the club aside.

As things stand, that Wells. Mondstadt was probably also on the Normante cruise ship, for unknown reasons, Wells. Mondstadt ended up dying in the case on the cruise ship.

However, judging by the current news, it is not ruled out that Wells. Mondstadt is also a transcendent being, possessing powers far beyond the ordinary.

"Perhaps, I should go to the client for more specific information.

I'm interested in Wells. Mondstadt's true identity and the purpose of his visit to the port of Enmatt are unknown. ”

Standing up, putting on his half-height silk top hat, Lewis deliberately closed the door to the billiard room, the corners of his mouth curling slightly.

"What's the matter?" In front of him, several men in black suits walked towards him, still holding short knives in their hands.

The Kingdom of Rune has high requirements for gun licenses, but it maintains relatively relaxed requirements for cold weapons such as knives.

No one spoke, and several men in black suits returned toward Lewis, waving their weapons.

"Fate."

Lewis immediately removed a silver ring from his left hand and threw it into the crowd.

Suddenly, the person who rushed to the front twisted his foot and fell in front of Lewis, and several people fell down with him.

Lewis was unscathed after a flurry of attacks, and he was always able to dodge attacks in an uncanny way.

Instead, it was the hands-on ones, who had some injuries on their bodies, blood dripping on the wooden floor.

Lewis stepped over the fallen man, he walked up to the bartender, asked the trembling bartender for a banana beer, and left the colony bar as he sipped.

Walking out the door, the silver ring he had just used was right at his feet, and he picked it up and put it on his left hand.

"Did the gangster who kept Miss Stephanie in captivity finally react to me?

Those people just now were ordinary people, probably trying to teach me a lesson, but the other party didn't expect me to be extraordinary. ”

Without much thought, Lewis took a note out of his pocket and, following the message on the note, went to a detective agency on Denia Street.

It was nearly noon, and the detective office was deserted, with a dark-haired, brown-eyed detective sitting at the coffee table and a blonde maid busily tidying up the room.

The detective had the obvious appearance of an Intisian.

"Welcome to your visit and trust me to help you." The detective looked at Lewis and said in standard Rune's official language.

Lewis sensed a sense of familiarity in the detective, and he knew that the detective must be the one who commissioned the incident at the party.

The maid brought the freshly brewed black tea and a simple snack, and Lewis took a sip of the black tea and said in a deep voice:

"I need to know Wells. More information about Mondstadt, his identity, and the purpose of his visit to the port of Enmat, as well as the ship he was on before he disappeared. ”

The detective's face sank, and he sent the maid away, took out a stack of materials from the drawer, and replied:

"Here's all I can give you."

Lewis frowned and took the information, and from the detective's words, he vaguely guessed that Wells. Mondstadt isn't that simple.

If you think about it, this detective is not simple, he is a transcendent in his own right, and he is still an Intisian.

The other party stayed in the port of Enmat for so long, but it was just to track down a person who had died a long time ago.

Flipping through the information, Lewis saw Wells. News about Mondstadt.

Sure enough, Wells. The ship Mondstadt was on before he disappeared was none other than the Normante Cruise Ship!

Judging from the information, this gentleman's resume is indeed somewhat rich, he worked in the navy in his early years, and later retired from business, becoming a famous merchant in Intis, going back and forth between Rune and Intis, and even being entertained by the royal family of Intis.

In addition to that, Wells. Mondstadt also experienced the baptism of war, and was scarred by a bullet in his chest that will not go away.

As for the reason why he came to the port of Enmat, it is not clearly stated in the information, only that it was to deliver an important matter.

Lewis groaned slightly, judging from the information, he suspected that Wells. Mondstadt is supposed to be a spy, maybe a double agent for Rune and Intis.

After all, as a businessman, his status is too high; As a businessman, he also travels back and forth between the two countries too often.

As for Wells. Mondstadt's delivery, Lewis guesses that it is not a simple matter, but a message or item that involves a wide range of things.

It was this message or item that led to the tragedy of the Normante, and even the pirates ransacked the Normante because of this item.
