Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 96 80 pounds reward

Mixed in the crowd, Elena suddenly sensed something bad, her body trembling, followed her companions until they pushed and shoved to the outside of the cemetery.

Probably because of the curse, she saw her classmates trip over the scattered bones, and she herself accidentally fell in front of a tombstone, which had a portrait of the dead smiling strangely, with Scalp-numbing epitaph:

"Why do you need to sleep for a long time when you are alive, you will sleep forever after death!"

This was the first time Elena saw such a scene, she looked down the tombstone, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of the coffin board being knocked was just below her body, and the sound seemed to affect her body. Every time it was knocked, it was like a drumstick hitting the heart, which made people want to spit it out.

She lay back, her eyes suddenly turned white, and she passed out, accompanied by a stench.

Lewis has been watching the group of unlucky boys and girls stumbling out of the cemetery, and in the end they didn't dare to look into the cemetery, and they scattered.

He once again wrapped Azik's copper whistle with spirituality, and the response of the corpse change stopped abruptly, and the neat knocking on the coffin boards also disappeared.

After today's malicious intimidation, in a short time, this group of unlucky people should never return to Green Cemetery again.

"I'm a little courageous, but I'm actually scared to pee."

Lewis came to Elena, helped the girl out of the cemetery, hired a night carriage, and threw her on the carriage seat.

After about ten minutes, the carriage finally returned to the real estate agent Wilbur's house, and Lewis rang the doorbell.

After a few minutes, the butler in tuxedo opened the door. He glanced at the girl supported by Lewis, and said in surprise, "Miss Elena, why is she here?"

"Go to her room and take a look." Lewis calmly explained: "I think I have found the reason for Miss Elena's abnormality, and if Mr. Wilbur is still awake, I want to deliver the task now. "

"Sorry, Mr. Wilbur has already fallen asleep. I will arrange a bedroom for you. Please wait until tomorrow."

The butler took Elena from Lewis and sent her back to the room.

Lewis found a not-so-formal room under the arrangement of the servants, and took a temporary rest. The gorgeous bedding smelled of rose essential oil, which was very particular.

"I also saw two unlucky people today, those who were haunted by resentful spirits. They are really miserable, but I can't come to the door to do spirit exorcism activities. That would expose my own abnormality."

……

In the morning, Lewis received a notice from his servant. He put on formal clothes, came to the living room, and met Wilbur, a real estate agent.

The chubby gentleman remained seated in the rocker, seemingly unwilling to let his feet touch the ground.

"Please sit down." Mr. Wilbur nodded.

Sitting aside, Lewis quietly looked at the chubby gentleman and said:

"I think, I have found Miss Elena's anomaly."

As Lewis glanced at the waiters in the living room, the real estate agent Wilbur sent the waiters away, saying:
"Now that you can tell what's going on, I hope to hear something really useful."

"Of course." Lewis smiled lightly, and described in detail what he saw in the Green Cemetery last night, including those boys and girls who stole corpses and danced weirdly.

Finally, he specifically emphasized the bald-headed adult man dancing with boys and girls.

"Mr. Wilbur, this is the truth about Ms. Elena's matter. I think the fruits of my labor are worthy of the 20 pounds reward." At the end, Lewis took a sip of black tea and added casually.

Wilbur's face became more and more ugly. Stealing corpses without permission is a crime. According to the kingdom's law, if the circumstances are serious, he will be sentenced to about ten years in prison.

If this matter gets out, not only Elena's life will be ruined, but his reputation will also be ruined. A real estate businessman with a ruined reputation will inevitably mean losing his wealth.

"No!" Wilbur smiled and said, "Mr. Lewis, I admire your ability to handle cases. The reward of 80 pounds is the reward you deserve."

Am I that much of a detective who likes to gossip?

Lewis was a little helpless, but he still stood up and saluted, "Mr. Wilbur, I admire your generosity. I hope Miss Elena can get out of the shadow of being threatened as soon as possible."

Elena was threatened?The detective is very clever, like my business partners, who can tell the truth from the false only if it is in their own interest.

"Mr. Detective, you deserve this. I never expected to receive the results in just one day. Your efforts are worth my money."

The two looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other's meaning in each other's words.

Taking 80 pounds in cash, Lewis bid farewell to the real estate agent Wilbur, and he took a tram to the Hilton District.

……

Near noon, Elena woke up from the big bed covered with velvet and mosquito nets. She looked at the surrounding environment in surprise and shook off her panic.

Recalling the sound of the corpse getting up from the ground last night and the sound of the coffin board being knocked under the tombstone, her body trembled slightly.

"I don't want to participate in this kind of ceremony anymore, it's too scary." Elena drank some water, her memory was only that she was tightly grasped by the dead man's hand protruding from the ground.

At that moment, she understood that there really was a real but imperceptible world beyond what the naked eye could see.

That may be the world where the dead lived, and the resurrection of the dead they did was an act of angering the god of death.

"I don't know what happened afterwards. Did the dead in the Green Cemetery come out of their coffins and look for those of us who disturbed the dead's long sleep."

Elena didn't know what happened after she fainted, let alone what happened to the rest of the people. She called the housekeeper and asked:

"How did I come back last night? I mean...was there anything unusual when I was sleeping last night?" Suddenly remembering that she sneaked out last night, Elena hurriedly argued.

The butler helped Elena prepare the clothes to wear today, and explained truthfully: "You passed out outside last night, and it was the detective who brought you back."

Of course, he omitted Elena's embarrassing scene. If he said it, it would be a shame for a lady in her life.

Elena suddenly thought of the Mr. Detective in uniform, and felt a strong tremor in her heart.

"It's him! He brought me out of the cemetery, from the siege of the dead, from the curse of death...

He really is an amazing and powerful detective, at least stronger than my teacher! "

"I'm going to go out later, to meet that detective." Elena said after finishing dressing and tidying up her attire.
