A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 11: Detective's Seed

   "The wooden barrels in the warehouse were cracked, grease and tar flowed into the Thames River, and a fire started on the surface of the water. Several sailboats near the pier were also filled with oil."

   "When the fire weakened slightly, the steam tug tried to pull the sailboats to the middle of the river, but it failed and caught fire together."

   At this moment, Mi Gao was standing on the boiler, processing the fresh big elbows bought in the afternoon, while continuing to tell Lu Li more details about the fire:

   "Those burning tar barrels lined up on the bank of the river for several miles, forming a twenty-foot-high wall of fire.

  Unfortunately, the wind was blowing to the west at that time, and the warehouse in that direction stored more grease. Eventually, Tuli Street was forced to give up. "

   The little guy said plausibly, as if he was on the scene in person.

   Of course, the real situation is not far from this.

   Shoe boys like to join in the fun, many children see that the business hasn't been done, so they simply rush to the neighborhood to join in the fun, and then, afterwards, use the sights they see as talks and describe them to other friends.

   "Grease, potassium nitrate, black powder in barrels."

   Lu Li frowned, if these things were there to cause such a big movement, it was indeed understandable.

  Perhaps, a careless worker did not pay much attention to smoking and threw away cigarette butts or ashes.

  Fire source, combustion-supporting materials, wind direction, plus the disaster happened in the early hours of the morning...

   It makes sense.

   But why do major associations and official organizations ask detectives to investigate?

   Things are definitely not that simple, Lu Li shook his head, and the day after tomorrow's schedule was also available:

   went to the Fire Department to pick up the task.

   As for tomorrow?

   First go to Whitehall Street, talk to the old acquaintance Vincent, and see what vicious case is, and the Criminal Investigation Department is helpless.

   However, some time must be reserved for reading the newspaper.

   It’s been nearly two days since I entered this world. With Pan Ming’s ability, no matter how bad the situation is, he should be dealt with, and according to the agreement, he should find a way to get in touch with Duke.

   was thinking, the big elbow that had been stewed for a long time was finally out of the pot, the spice and meat flavors were mixed together, and it came to my face.

   Mi Gao couldn't help swallowing, because Lu Li hadn't come back, he ate a piece of pie at night.

   And this elbow has been simmering in the pot.

   "It just happened to have no meal."

  The words were over, Lu Li took the big iron basin and knife and fork, and walked towards the large living room on the second floor.

   The boy followed closely.

   No matter how late, as long as you can wait for people back.

   In this way, the two began to share supper.

   Long before Lu Li returned, Michael had considered everything. In addition to his big elbow, he also threw a few potatoes into the wood-burning fireplace.

   After the pink and waxy potatoes are peeled, they are dipped in the thick miso soup left over from the stewed elbows. They are as picky as Lu Li, and they feel delicious.

   Not to mention the height of rice, the child was so hungry that he was willing to stop eating three large potatoes.

   "Sure enough, the meat is delicious with spices, it's really fragrant."

   At the dining table, Michael rubbed his stomach and couldn't help but sigh.

   "What is not delicious with meat?"

   Lu Li patted the little guy on the shoulder, half blaming and half helplessly said: "If this happens again in the future, don't wait for me."

  As a detective, it’s very common not to return home at night. After all, the case is bigger than anything else. Sometimes it’s too busy and Lu Li doesn’t even bother to eat.

   If Michael followed his rhythm of life, he might not be hungry and sick.

"after?"

   "Don't you look after the clinic's business?"

   Frankly speaking, Michael never thought that this kind of thing would happen frequently—

   How can there be doctors running around instead of treating illnesses to save people?

  In the planning of the boy, the day should be like this:

   Mr. Lu diagnoses and treats patients during the day, and he is responsible for three meals a day, laundry and grocery shopping.

   In my free time, I would like to ask Mr. Lu to give himself a few words to lay a solid foundation in medicine...

   Upon seeing this, Lu Li no longer concealed it, and said frankly: "Compared to being a doctor, I am more inclined to detect crimes, eh, have you heard of a detective?"

   Mi Gao was taken aback, then nodded stupidly.

   In the days when he was shining shoes on the street, he had come into contact with all three teachers, and naturally there were detectives among them.

   With the influx of large numbers of people, criminal activities in Wudu have increased sharply. Fighting incidents occur every day, especially in the Eastern District. Unknown bodies can often be seen in the garbage dump.

   And law enforcement officials and police officers simply can’t take care of it. London is too big and the terrain is extremely complicated. Even if the police force is expanded, it cannot meet the social needs of fighting criminal activities.

  Because of this, after some major criminal cases occurred, the government or wealthy victims had to offer rewards to the society to attract people to provide intelligence and arrest criminals.

  In this general environment, private detectives, or catching thief, came into being. They are dedicated to get rewards to investigate the case and find criminals.

   So, detectives are not too lofty, and people do not choose this line because they have a sense of justice, but because it can bring rich returns, nothing more.

   To this day, Michael still remembers that a guy who claimed to be a detective asked him to help polish his shoes and clean his trouser legs, but afterwards relied on his youth and strength to escape the bill without giving him money.

  In order to restore the cleanliness of those blunt leather boots covered with dust and mud, Xiaomi Gao spent an hour, half a tube of shoe polish, and countless clean cloth strips, but the result was...

  Before Lu Li appeared, the detectives in Migao's eyes were a group of civilized villains with misconduct and bullying. They could be called bipedal beasts.

   "Mr. Lu, do you really want to be a detective?"

   "That's right."

"Oh……"

   Mi Gao nodded sensibly, but he was not very interested, and said to himself: Among the detectives, there may also be people like Mr. Lu who are upright and law-abiding.

   At this moment, the detectives in the fog should be grateful to Lu Li, who made a child slightly reverse his impression of this industry.

   "Can I do things with you?"

   "Having been on the streets for so many years~www.wuxiamtl.com~ I know every road in London, I have met many big people, friends who have worked together, and can also help gather information."

   It can be seen that Mi Gao is very stubborn in this regard, and he really wants to help Lu Li do something.

   Boy Detectives?

   An odd word struck Lu Li's mind.

   "The investigator will encounter all kinds of dangers. You are too young. It is better to read a few medical books in the clinic. I will provide guidance in my spare time."

   "In a few years, you can go to university for further studies. There is no need to worry about recommendation letters and living expenses."

   "By the way, if there is any weird admission letter sent over in the future." Lu Li's thinking was a little divergent, and he said: "Remember to go before you go, especially Miskatonic."

   Persuade people to study medicine, and the sky thunders.

   Persuading people to go to the University of Michigan for further studies, even more uneasy and kind.

  Of course, everyone has the right to choose.

   For some people, dying to explore the truth is very worthwhile, and living in ignorance is something worth lamenting.
