Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 25 A Student

The so-called Lower Iron Cross Street is a slum within a slum, where crime and chaos are the background.

After entering Iron Cross Street and going down the street, Lewis immediately noticed several lines of sight based on the monster's intuition. He followed his senses to look one by one, and found a few people in ragged clothes and erratic eyes.

More importantly, several people tried to get close to him.

Guessing that most of these people were thieves, Lewis patted the belt and the position of the gun bag, deliberately revealing the gun bag.

Sure enough, this move saved Lewis a lot of trouble, and just revealed his own danger a little, which dissuaded those rats who were plotting evil.

According to the direction indicated by the dream divination, Lewis came to a single apartment, he went up to the second floor, and knocked on the door on the left.

"Sir, what can you do?" In the dream, the plainly dressed lady with a black scar at the corner of her eye opened the door.

"Dear lady, I think there is a blue cat in your home, which is not your property. I want to take it away and return it to the original owner." Lewis emphasized.

The woman with black scars at the corners of her eyes lowered her face, fear flashed across her eyes.For the residents of Lower Iron Cross Street, their lives cannot afford any risk, even if it is only a trivial mistake.

If the cat was found out, it would likely bring her family into trouble with the police, and even just one day in police custody could put her out of a job and end up begging on the streets.

This is not alarmist talk, she knows many such people, just because they accidentally picked up a few pennies and were framed, the lives of those people came to an end.

"Sorry, I don't know the blue cat you're talking about." The lady with the black scar at the corner of her eye said nervously.

Lewis blinked his right eyelid three times in succession, and entered the state of spiritual vision.

"The inner astral body is dark, which means that she is sad, silent? Or is it fear? This lady's physical condition is not very good, her lungs and liver are dim, and she obviously has some diseases, but this short time Guilt isn't fatal."

After guessing what the lady was thinking and knowing how abrupt he was, Lewis took a step back slightly, showing a gentle smile, and said, "I'll wait downstairs. If you can find the blue cat, I will I will give you 10 soli as reward."

After speaking, Lewis went downstairs and disappeared at the end of the stairs.

When the lady returned home, she saw the child in ragged clothes, teasing the blue cat tied at the foot of the bed. The blue cat was curled up in a corner, its hair standing up.

On the bunk bed, my husband is recuperating on the bed. His right foot was injured due to a dock accident, and he will not be able to work for at least the next month.

Today, the family's expenses can only be maintained by her doing some odd jobs. These incomes are not high, only about 7 soli a week, which can barely maintain the current life.

Knowing that the blue cat might bring disaster to the family, the lady still grabbed the blue cat and held it in her arms like a precious treasure.

The ten soli reward gave her a sense of luck, and she would rather believe that the gentleman was a trustworthy person.

Going downstairs, the lady saw Lewis still standing in the space under the stairs, and the other party glanced at his pocket watch from time to time.

"Sir, I found the blue cat you mentioned at a neighbor's house. It...stealed a salted fish and was caught by my neighbor..." the lady explained.

Lewis naturally knew that the other party was lying, but he was just a detective, and he didn't intend to hold the other party accountable. Finding the cat was just a deal.

"I believe what you said, this cat always likes to run around." Lewis smiled lightly and took out ten one-soul rewards from his wallet, and handed it to the lady with black scars at the corners of her eyes.

"You are such a trustworthy gentleman." The lady with the black scar at the corner of her eye happily accepted ten soli, which was more than the family's weekly expenses.

Lewis held the rope around the blue cat's neck in his hand, and he gently pinched the back of the blue cat's neck, and the blue cat quickly calmed down from the state of blowing fur.

The loss of ten soli made Lewis feel a little bit heartbroken, but facing an insecure woman, he thought it was a more appropriate approach.

At that time, if he pressed too hard outside the door, it might not be a matter of ten soli, and this lady might go to him desperately.

"I suggest you go to a doctor to have a look. It should be good for your body." Lewis reminded the other party kindly, and Lewis left.

After Lewis left, the lady with black scars on the corners of her eyes hurried to the bakery to buy two pairs of hard black bread, which would be the family's food for tomorrow.

Suddenly, the lady was slapped from the back. She felt her body sink and her lung lobes felt severe pain.

Looking back, I saw a lady whose face was covered by a fine mesh black gauze quickly entered the crowd. Her face was slightly round, but she had an indescribable charm.

……

Lewis took John Cat back to the detective office. He put John Cat in the corner of the room and prepared some leftover beef from the morning.

Cat John began to eat big mouthfuls. As a pet cat, his eating was not very elegant.Come to think of it, these days away from the master should have suffered a lot.

Suddenly, Lewis' inspiration was touched. He opened his spiritual vision and saw a bone messenger sticking out a claw from the ground, and then threw a letter in front of Lewis.

"The messenger's service attitude is getting worse and worse. Where did I offend them?" Lewis was a little puzzled, and at the same time he wanted to summon the messenger to block the knife.

After opening the envelope, Lewis confirmed the contents of the letter.

"Mr. Ards asked me to go to the castle with me in three days. He also said that he would introduce a student to me, and that student happened to be doing archaeology in the small town of Durham."

Lewis couldn't help but doubt the identity of that student. If he guessed correctly, the student mentioned in Azik's letter should be Klein.

At this time, Klein should go to Durham to perform a mission. If he remembers correctly, it should be a mission about evil spirits, and the mission location is the old castle where Mr. Azik once lived.

The reason why the letter said it was archaeological was probably because Klein concealed specific information, because extraordinary events must be kept secret from ordinary people.

After putting down the letter, Lewis made a cup of black tea and drank it slowly.It was a good start to earn four pounds on the first day of opening, at least enough money to buy ceremonial supplies.

As the evening approached, the yellowed sunlight shone into the window. The blond lady pushed open the door of the detective agency and saw John the cat eating cat food.

"John, it's really you!" The blond lady hugged the blue cat in her arms, stroking its fur excitedly, and John the cat made a "purr" sound.

"Detective Lewis, you are a real detective. Detective Bernie on the opposite side can't be compared to you at all." The blond lady said happily: "Your charging price is very fair. In fact, I entrusted Mr. Bernie on the opposite side. I lost eight pounds, but I haven’t been able to find John until today, but he still asks me for materials.”

Lewis maintained the state of acting as a "machine", but he was very restless.

Ma'am, if you have money, don't tell me earlier. If you said it earlier, I would ask for at least 10 pounds. The four pounds will only be an advance deposit.

"I think, this is all the guidance of fate, the wind... Praise the goddess!" Lewis almost called out the name of the Lord of Storms again, he tapped four times on his chest to outline the crimson moon, and said in a very sticky manner .

"Praise Goddess, I still doubted your professionalism before I met John, and now I solemnly apologize." The blond lady exchanged pleasantries with Lewis, and then left the detective agency.
