3. Mr. Detective is watching you

(Sure enough, 10,000 or something a day is not suitable for me.,Anyway, I've been very busy lately.,And some mysterious plans are in progress.,Maybe the update frequency will be a little messy.,Sorry)

What puzzled Lilith was that the day after she returned, the large army of orcs seemed to have all turned into cowards, and in a short period of time, they hastily retreated, ignoring the formation, and threw out all the territory that they had been fortunate to occupy before.

Worried about trying the full set, Fiana did not command the attack, but only began to act after the orc forces had completely withdrawn.

The remaining three parts of the fortress had all been defeated, and retreat was indeed the best way for the orcs, but Lilith felt that this retreat was too strange, as if it had been decided overnight, and she chose to retreat before even the tents could be dismantled.

It shouldn't be winter, and they all go back to hibernate en masse.

However, it was useless to worry, at least there was nothing that could be done now, and under the orders of Dean Frey, all of these students, who could barely be regarded as having seen the battlefield, were honestly sent back to the academy, and they no longer had to face the walls of the city.

Although it was true that Lilith felt a lot happier to finally be able to go back and enjoy life, and the cold winter did make people feel that home was the warmest place, there was still one thing that Lilith had to waste energy to complete.

"Lilith, I think the astrologer Frey gave you the wrong address. ”

Lucifer took the note from Lilith's hand and carefully examined the words on it, "I don't think there will be any detective who will set his faΓ§ade in this kind of downtown area. It's as ridiculous as if a thief would leave 'xx here for a visit' when he commits a crime every day. ”

"I don't think the dean has Alzheimer's disease to this point. ”

Lilith shook her head, "Look for it first." If you can't find it, hey, Mammon. Return the wallet you just came from. ”

The first thing Lilith did after returning to the empire was to inquire about the residences of the two detectives she had met before, Claire and Watson. Although this tall and short, male and female assistant and detective duo did not seem so reliable, Lilith already knew their methods in the previous brief cooperation with them. In particular, the magic that Claire calls "real" goes beyond the realm of ordinary magic.

So, after learning the addresses of the two from Frena. Lilith decided to leave Arya's matter to a professional to investigate for the time being. Since you're a detective, you probably won't say anything about it.

"Lilith, why are you looking for a detective?"

Ashmill looked back and forth at the girls passing by and asked, "Someone stole your fat?"

"No, I just wanted to investigate if you have had a ...... lately."

"I was wrong, I'm going to withdraw from tomorrow's meeting right away, and I'll cut off contact with that woman. ”

Hey, don't take it personally.

β€œ...... Turn left and go five meters. Then turn your head to look to the left...... Here?"

It's not that Lilith doesn't want to believe it, although she has made a lot of preparations in advance, but after really seeing Claire's residence. Lilith was still suspicious of her eyes.

Although the profession of a detective should not be swaggering, this room is too dilapidated, and the rusty door is wide open, and the words "detective agency" can barely be read on the wooden planks next to the door.

Forget it, now that you've found it, don't complain about the environment.

"Wait here for me, I'll be out soon. Lilith resisted the urge to cough, holding her breath not to smell the dust raised from the ground.

Is. How could a detective work in such a hostile environment?

"Hey, Watson...... I'm so hungry. Claire's limp voice came from inside the room. "If I were a mousse cake and a ...... sprinkled with honey and jam"

"Let's eat bread with pickles. Otherwise, you will have to eat wild vegetables for a few days. ”

Although Watson's voice sounded quite energetic, when Lilith saw the two of them, she still didn't know what to say.

Claire leaned back in her rocking chair like an old woman basking in the sun, but it was obvious that she couldn't do photosynthesis, and naturally she couldn't get enough of the sun. Watson, on the other hand, was squatting on the side and washing his clothes.

I really want to pretend I don't know them......

"I can't put up with it anymore!Watson!" Claire jumped suddenly, "I'm going to make money!

【Knock】

β€œ......”

"Don't look at it, it's a money bag, not a bomb. ”

Lilith placed the pouch on the table, and the peculiar sound of the coins made Claire look up like a cat smelling fish.

"Yo, you two, do you still know me?"

"Money!"

"I don't call it money. ”

Lilith lifted the purse above her head and watched as Claire kept circling around the purse.

"I have an entrustment, if you take it, this will be considered a deposit, remember, just a deposit. ”

"Oh, no problem, Lilith, we'll take it. ”

"Hey, wait. ”

Watson, who was full of foam, pulled Claire over, "What kind of commission did you take without listening to you......?

"It can't be some kind of murder and arson, let me ask first, the two of you are detectives, right?"

"Of course. ”

Probably seeing that the money had been settled, Claire was also serious, and it was hard to imagine that she was the old woman lying in the rocking chair basking in the sun just now.

"I know what you mean by Lilith, but rest assured, we won't say anything superfluous to anyone other than our employer. ”

"I'd like to ask you to help me investigate someone. Now that the other party had spoken out her concerns so clearly, Lilith did not hesitate any longer, and immediately put a photo of Alia on the table.

"Academy students?" Claire glanced at, "Anyway, if it's about emotional disputes, it's better to settle this by yourself." This case is just to give more money, I don't want to take it. ”

β€œ...... It's not emotion, please don't be wrong. Lilith said, "I want to ask you to help me investigate her YiqiΔ“, of course, I will give you the most basic information about her, and the task you need to do is to find a way to find out what she said and did, where she went, and what she did......"

"This is contrary to the laws of the Empire. Claire pondered, "What if we get caught?"

"Don't worry, if you're just caught for this kind of trivial matter, I'll find a way to get you out, but if she notices because of this, then you have to pay me back the original deposit. ”

"I'll just ask, with my level, how can I be caught?"

Claire reached out and was about to take the money bag from Lilith's hand, but was stopped by Watson.

"We won't accept this commission now, please ask another detective. (To be continued)
