Embers of Embers

Chapter 89 Seleu
Although Lorenzo is said to be a lone detective, his popularity with women is actually better than anyone imagined.
His experience as a mistress terminator allowed him to get acquainted with many noble ladies. It was even said that through Lorenzo as a link, these noble ladies who had been hurt by men formed a small group. They maintained goodwill towards Lorenzo, and they were... Lorenzo has a rare network of connections in the old Dunling.
Of course, during the six years of work, Lorenzo not only got to know those ladies, but also people from other industries. However, since the employers were basically shrike, most of those people did not end well, and even a few of them fled. overseas.
But the girl in front of him is different. She is one of the few extremely special customers.
"As I said, if you come, could you please remind me?"
Lorenzo stretched out his hand to tighten the shower curtain, then picked up the bath towel and wrapped it around himself.
Do you think she is Eve?No, no, no, with the senses of a demon hunter, few people can escape Lorenzo's detection. If it were Eve, Lorenzo would have noticed something strange early on, but sometimes there are always exceptions, such as her, her sense of presence So low, so low that even Lorenzo would have trouble noticing her if she didn't deliberately emphasize her presence.
"So what happened to you this time? Did you lose your cat? Or is it some strange commission? I charge a lot of money here."
Lorenzo walked out wrapped in a bath towel. The girl looked straight at him, her blue and clear eyes reflecting Lorenzo's embarrassment. The demon hunter, who never backed down even when faced with a demon, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"No, I was just passing by. I heard that you were hired by Su Yalan Hall. Congratulations on finally having a serious job?"
As the girl spoke, she opened the wine bottle next to her, making a crisp sound.
"Underage drinking is prohibited."
Lorenzo took the wine bottle expressionlessly and put it on the edge of the window sill, where he usually preferred to drink.
"Give."
As he spoke, Lorenzo took a piece of paper from the counter, seemed to write something on it, and then handed it to the girl.
"This is my account. If you really want to celebrate, please send me some money."
The girl looked at the detective with a serious face, and her cold face softened slightly.This is still the slightly crazy Lorenzo, everything seems normal.
"Is it so direct? Do you want me to support you?"
"If you are a nurturing, then you may not be ranked high. Although I am barely tall, I am very popular with 'Saturday Housewives'."
Saturday housewives are a group of ladies who are united by Lorenzo. They usually gather on Saturdays to have fun and denounce their husbands' sins. But even so, they still like Lorenzo very much and say that there is no Lorenzo. , they would not know each other, and even said that they would use Lorenzo as the group's mascot.
In fact, Lorenzo was very moved when he saw the price, but after seeing that damn dress, he seriously refused.
"Ah...Seryu, how did you get in?"
After thinking for a while, Lorenzo suddenly asked. With Mrs. Vanlude's character, she would not let a stranger in.Lorenzo's job is special. Although he handles it very clean every time, it is inevitable that some miscellaneous people with overly sensitive noses will find their way to his residence.
"It's very simple, become friends with Mrs. Van Roode."
Seleu turned his body and faced Lorenzo directly. His clear eyes made Lorenzo very uncomfortable.
"That grumpy old lady?"
"Yeah, you taught me, Lorenzo, that being friends will solve a lot of problems."
Looking at this girl who looked like Hanxue, Lorenzo looked at her seriously. He suddenly realized that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and then he sat by the window wrapped in a bath towel.
"Let me tell you, becoming friends with that old lady is not an easy thing."
It seemed like a test, like a teacher's test on his students, Lorenzo looked back at it, and the two people were actually so similar.
"She is old and lives alone with no relatives. A grandmother of this age would probably want to have a grandchild, right?"
Seliu opened his hands, showing off his slender and beautiful body.
Lorenzo nodded, this is what he taught Seleu, sometimes the body is a good weapon.
"Then what? What did you do to make that old lady fascinated?"
Lorenzo became more and more curious about what Seleu had learned during his absence.
"To make her happy, that's it. This is what you taught me, isn't it? Use the things the other party wants to deceive. She longs for care, so give care, even if she notices something strange, because this is what she wants. , she will accept it too.”
There was a shimmer in Seleu's eyes, and those clear blue eyes were like sapphires. Lorenzo once said that her eyes had magic power and could easily see through people's hearts. This was also true. She was the most beautiful person Lorenzo had ever seen. A keen child, everyone loses their spiritual defense in front of her.
"It's really bad to gain the trust of an old man in this way."
Lorenzo admired her superb skills, but still had questions.
"Isn't this a good deal? Although it was based on deception, the care she received was real."
Seleu's voice was still cold, Lorenzo was used to her being like this, and his whole person was like an ice cube.
"Actually, I wanted to care about you. After all, you have become an external detective of Su Yalan Department. It's hard to imagine what will happen to you."
"Why is it so incredible for me to do a real job?"
Lorenzo replied fiercely, but suddenly Seleu calmed down, and looked at Lorenzo with his blue eyes. Lorenzo actually felt a little dizzy in the magnificent blue.
But this feeling was soon overcome by Lorenzo, who sounded a little angry.
"Seliu, we agreed, not everyone wants you to see through their thoughts."
Seleu then said.
"I'm just curious about what you've been through lately."
The voice is still cold. It is rare for you to feel the emotional side of this girl. Just like her magical eyes, she is the most sensitive person Lorenzo has ever seen. She is more worthy of the name than him. A great detective, she will easily see through everything just by looking at you.
But just when Lorenzo was about to say something, the tires made a violent friction sound with the ground. Lorenzo subconsciously turned his head, and a dark limo stopped in front of the door of 121A Cork Street.
"I guess you're not just passing by, right?"
Lorenzo felt a little weak for a moment. To be honest, he could fool many people, but among so many people he met, she was the only one who could evenly match him.
Seliu's frosty face finally showed some expression, showing a look that was probably apologetic. Maybe he wanted to pretend to be cute, and stuck out his tongue slightly, but in Lorenzo's opinion, this person was just mocking him. .
The car door had already opened, and a group of men in black pushed open the door aggressively. Lorenzo panicked at first, then pressed Seleu's head and stuffed her into the closet, and then jumped into the bathtub again.
Almost at the moment Lorenzo lay down in the bathtub, the door was pushed open mercilessly, and the small room was filled with people.
"Mr. Holmes?"
The old housekeeper walked into the room slowly and looked at Lorenzo in the bathtub with an unfriendly expression.
"Huh? What's wrong Yawei."
Lorenzo turned his head away and smiled politely but not awkwardly.
To be honest, this was probably the most embarrassing day for Lorenzo. He was soaking in the bathtub, and there were all tough men hiding guns under their clothes. He suddenly understood that when Marquis Barov was shot in the head by him in the bathtub, I feel... Is this considered retribution?
The butler named Yawei didn't say much. He dragged a chair aside and sat in front of Lorenzo.
He was silent, staring intently at Lorenzo, like a lion examining its prey.
After a long time Lorenzo tried to break the damn silence, he asked tentatively.
"Why...did your Miss Stuart sneak out again?"
