The red moon returns

Chapter 105 Repayment

The rolling wheels crushed the sunset, and the vendors pushed their carts and dispersed from Charles Square in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Through the carved glass windows on the second floor of No. 221 Vila Street, a picture of life in the Victorian style slowly unfolds before your eyes.

Looking out the window at the crowd of people returning home, Lynch suddenly realized that he was becoming more and more like a person from this world.

From the night of the 13th to the 19th, only six days have passed, but I feel that I have become accustomed to this strange and extraordinary world.

Dressed in Victorian style clothes, he walked between carriages and railway tracks, using gas equipment and ancient machinery, and came into contact with nobles, capitalists and workers. The key is that all he thought about was evil gods, aliens and mystery, which was full of weirdness. with dangerous things.

I always feel that I have become farther and farther away from the ordinary social life in my hometown. Perhaps this is one of the prices for embarking on the road to immortality.

Sighing, Lynch closed the window, sat down on the sofa, and picked up the most important detective record book.

Yes, he has finished his surveillance mission and gone home.

The investigation of the city hall yielded no results, several targets were absent, and the office door was locked. However, Lynch was not disappointed, because the information obtained from the cooperation with Miss Valente was enough to make up for everything. .

As for the grudge of a cup of coffee, I have already recorded it. The stupid nobleman will pay it back twice as much in the future.

Of course, this was just for his own entertainment. In fact, Lynch was in a very good mood. With Miss Valente's information, he had basically completed the puzzle.

In order to excavate Zul Harasar, the sewer ghouls colluded with Speaker Grant at the cost of providing free labor. They might also have provided the strange man-eating object before.

This is probably one of the key points of Duke Wayne's commission. He should have touched the key to the commission. Lynch thought in his mind that as long as he followed the clues and found the evidence of the existence of Zul Harasar, no, it must be If we find further evidence that the fragment of Mordiggian's will is sleeping deep in Zul'Harasar, we should be worthy of the agreed reward, which is Lady Red Moon's first memory. As for the second commission from the Cat Count, I'm afraid we need to investigate further to find out Mordiggian's purpose and then destroy it before we can get the reward with peace of mind.

Both of these rewards are not easy to earn, and you have to work hard, but Lin Qi doesn't feel conflicted in his heart, but feels quite comfortable because...

Lynch put down his notes and picked up a letter that had been sealed with wax paint.

The paper of the envelope is very elegant, with a black background and a few stars dotted on it. The fire paint on the seal is the emblem of stars hovering outside the scepter. You can tell at a glance that this is from the Dark Night Cathedral.

Dear Detective Leviev:

I sincerely invite you to meet at the Dark Night Church at 20 a.m. on the 9th. The agreed items have been approved by the Holy See and will arrive in Rhine City soon. I hope you can join me in receiving the items.

Yours, Trinleth.

Gently throwing the letter back on the coffee table, Lin Qi leaned back on the sofa comfortably, chuckled, and couldn't help feeling a little better.

Although these two old guys were treacherous, slippery, and insidious, and they dragged an ordinary person into such a troublesome matter when they were in need of help, they were at least sincere and it was not a loss to take the risk for them. What's more, I'm not just taking risks for them. Rhine City is my new home. Although I can escape from Rhine and change to a city life, but the landlady, the naughty child, and that vicious woman, can I really bear to see them in danger? ?

Smiling to himself, Lynch no longer hesitated. He reopened his notebook and recorded the latest clues one by one.

The next step is to wait for Miss Valente's line to learn more about Grant's collusion with the sewer ghouls. Those things seem to be much more violent than the mountain people, and dismantling the carriage is like dismantling a toy, which is very dangerous. , my divine right to save my life can only be used once for the time being, so I must act with caution. However, Valente’s information cannot be fully believed, and the mountain people cannot relax. It’s just that their whereabouts are unknown now, and if they find their traces, they must be pursued.

Before that, I’d better go to the Dark Night Cathedral tomorrow to meet Trinleth, and at least express my gratitude.

As he was sketching out his next action plan in his notebook, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. When Lynch looked up, he saw two groups of bright blond hair, one tall and one short, walking up from the bottom of the stairs.

Officer Natalie had brought little Martha back safely a long time ago, and she had seen him when he came home just now, so Lynch was not surprised, but Mrs. Maggie rarely went to the second floor when Lynch was at home. Lynch was a little surprised. He quickly stood up and invited Mrs. Maggie into the living room, where he found the two ladies holding his formal Ranger uniform.

"It's been cleaned, and some of the damage has been sewn, Mr. Leviv." Mrs. Maggie smiled softly, "You can put it on and try it on."

"Huh? You just washed it, so you don't need to try it."

"Ah, you misunderstood. When I was cleaning, I noticed that some parts of this suit did not suit you."

"Can you see this?"

"Because I worked as a tailor before, so I'm quite sensitive." The landlady shook off Lynch's clothes and chuckled, "You try it and I'll change it for you tonight. If you don't mind, I'll take your other clothes Also change them all, I think your clothes are all ready-made clothes, after all they are not as suitable as handmade ones."

"How embarrassing."

Lynch's face felt a little hot, and his body was as stiff as a stone. He allowed Mrs. Maggie to put the clothes on him, and then her fingers gently moved around, making his heart beat faster.

"Give me a chance to repay you, Mr. Leviv." The landlady measured her body and lowered her head and whispered softly, "Martha treated you like that. Not only did you not care about her, you were also willing to teach her a lesson and let her know Good or bad, this is what my mother should have taught her, but I only know how to spoil her, which is really unqualified. If I hadn’t met you, I really don’t know what this child would have become in the future. You wake up at night with nightmares about what horrible things she did. So you may not understand how grateful we are to you."

Lynch's face turned redder, his eyes wandering, and then he saw little Martha hanging on her mother's lap sticking her tongue out at him, but her eyes were red, and her eyes became softer.

"She just came back and told me that not only were you sincere to her, but you also protected her when she was in danger and didn't let her be threatened at all. We really don't know how to repay you, and I won't do anything else. The only thing you can do is take better care of your life.”

"This one……"

"You have taught Martha to do the right thing. Isn't it the right thing to be grateful? You can't teach her how to do it but not let her practice it." There was a hint of slyness in Mrs. Maggie's eyes and she covered her mouth He said softly, "Or do you want us to repay you in another way?"

"Just change your clothes, just change your clothes." Lin Qi's hair was blowing up, and the top of his head seemed to be smoking. He threw down his clothes and turned around and ran downstairs, "I, I, I heard the water boiling downstairs, I Go check it out.”

"Pfft." Mrs. Maggie's cheeks were also red, she bit her lip and showed a smile. She gently held her daughter in her arms. The two pretty faces came together, making the scenery in the room particularly beautiful.
