Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 237

   In the dark, a voice that could not tell the distance from near and far echoed in his mind, calling for Lu Li.

   Hearing the call, Lu Li woke up from his sleep, and a black crow jumped into his eyes.

  It stood by the entrance of the hole, its claws hooked on the reclining chair, and Lu Li, who was sitting up, was reflected in its dark eyes, and it opened its beak and let out a cry.

   "dumb—"

   The hoarse, high-pitched crows echoed in the small windbreak, shrill enough to wake anyone who rested.

   It might be this crow who called Lu Li.

  Black Crow…

  Lu Li looked down and landed on the crow's claws. A letterbox hangs from its right leg.

  Lu Li remembered the messenger he said on Friday, is that the crow in front of him?

  Lu Li stretched out his hand to the crow, it didn't dodge, lowered its head carelessly to sort out the messy feathers under its wings, and let Lu Li open the letterbox on his leg and take out the rolled up paper inside.

  Lu Li unfolded this piece of thin parchment that was only the size of a palm. Various lines were drawn on the yellowed paper—this was a map of the nearby sea.

  Lili saw several islands and reefs on the map, including Disk Reef and Wanghai Cliff, the starting point of the hurricane.

   Lu Li, who understood the use of the map, stretched out his hand to draw a slender piece of charcoal from the fire, circled it on the Wanghai Cliff where he was, and gently blew off the ashes on it, then rolled up the parchment map and put it back in the letterbox.

   After thinking about it, Lu Li picked up the can and planned to entertain the crow who came from afar.

   If it eats.

   "dumb—"

   The jet-black eyes reflected Lu Li's movements, and the black crow shouted at Lu Li, stretched its wings and flew out of the windbreak.

  Lu Li put down the can, followed the black crow out of the windbreak, and watched it flap its wings and fly to the woods on the other side of the cliff.

   There is a rotting monkey corpse over there, and there is a pool of water.

   It seems that it does not need to be taken care of, it has already visited the whole island before finding Luli.

   I don't think it will take long for the investigators to come to the rescue.

   Just don’t know if Friday knew about it.

  Lu Li looked up at the top of the cliff. The dark shadow had disappeared. If it was still tracking Friday, it should have climbed to the top of the cliff by now.

   The light spot behind the clouds changed from the east in the early morning to the west at this time, approaching the setting of the mountain.

  Lu Li first changed the jar at the water intake point and went around the trail behind the cliff to climb to the top of the cliff.

   This time, Lu Li didn't feel the disturbing aura from the last time. He walked around to the front of the hut, and Lu Li saw a dark shadow.

   It was lying on the wall by the window, with its palms on the side of the window, and probed in, maintaining the motion of peeping into the window.

   This scene makes people shudder.

  !

With a muffled sound, the door suddenly opened, and Lu Li stepped back half a step to reach for the psychic gun.

   appeared at the door on Friday. Ignoring the dark shadow on the wall, she stepped out of the wooden house and passed it, greeting Lu Li with a relaxed voice.

"good afternoon."

  …

  chi——

   With the flip, the sound of grilled meat on the stone and the smell of fish come out together.

   Withdrew his palm holding the branch, Lu Li scraped the sea salt from the sunken stone not far from the fire with a stone flake, and sprinkled it on two palm-sized half-cooked grilled fish.

  The night is shrouded in the sky above the island, there is no trace of light, and there is a shivering sea breeze blowing.

  The opposite is true in the windbreak, the bright and warm sunken space makes people want to sleep comfortably.

  Smoke and sound drifted over the deck chairs onto the beach, blown away by the sea breeze.

  Today was a bumper harvest. The carrion that Lu Li sprinkled on the water moor attracted a large number of fish at high tide, roughly twenty fish. Lu Li only fished out the four largest slap-sized sea fish, planed off the internal organs by the water, washed them, and brought them back to the windproof place.

   Those viscera were thrown into the water by him and recycled as the next bait

   These are enough for him and Friday's dinner, but if Friday is not full after eating her two fish - then she can only let her come to the water and fish for the fish.

   After nearly half an hour of cooking, the fish was almost cooked. Just in case, Lu Li waited until the appearance was almost burnt before he skewered the grilled fish with branches and handed it to Friday.

  Friday raised his hand to take it, his slender, bandaged palms grabbed the sides of the branches and sent them into the shadows under the hood. When I took it out again, a small piece of fish was missing, revealing steaming white flesh.

   Her attitude towards food is like Lu Li's attitude towards her - she won't take the initiative to mention it, but will give back to your behavior.

  Lu Li moved the other three grilled sea fish out of the fire, strung them together with branches, grabbed both sides of the branches with both hands like Friday, took a bite and chewed it slowly, and ground the fish bones.

  Friday's eating action was much faster than Lu Li's. She seemed to ignore the fishbone, taking one bite after another, and finally only the fish head was left.

   Lu Li, who had only eaten half of it at that time, stopped eating, picked up another grilled fish and handed it to her, took it again on Friday, and finished it as quickly as before.

   Lu Li didn't hand over the third article, and he didn't ask for it on Friday.

   After ten minutes, Lu Li, who had finished his meal, threw the twig with oil stains and two fish heads into the fire, held the uncooled jar and blew lightly, and drank it in small sips.

  The only sound left in the windbreak was the crackling of the fire and the sound of blowing air and drinking water.

   Cans that no one cares about are piled in the corner.

After a while, Lu Li asked, "When will the investigator's rescue arrive?"

"very soon."

   "How soon?"

The word    is too general, and on Friday, he told Lu Li a specific time to the minute: "Two hours and twenty-five minutes later."

"I hope so."

   "I'm going to sleep first, the boat is coming and call me." After a while, he said Friday, leaning against the stone wall, his breathing gradually stabilized.

  Lu Li quietly pondered the meaning of Friday's words for a few seconds, and then poured a thin layer of sand and hot water at the bottom of the jar to the edge of the fire.

   Lu Li didn't completely believe or disbelieve Friday's words. In any case, he subconsciously came up with the timing in his mind.

   One hour passed, two hours passed...

   At some point two hours later, Friday, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly raised his head and whispered, "We can leave now."

   Lu Li heard the words, and his black eyes looked out of the reclining chair. The sand wall blocked most of the scenery outside, but at the edge of the sand wall, a conspicuous beam of light pierced the night.

   The high-pitched reverberating whistle echoed over the island.

   Their rescue has arrived.

   Moved the reclining chair, got out of the windbreak, Lu Li and Friday looked to the sea.

   On the pitch-black sea, a steamship was stagnant dozens of meters away from the coastline, and the searchlight fell on the beach far away.

   "Want to complete your incident and become an official investigator?" said Friday suddenly.

   Seeing that he was saved, Lu Li still showed no emotion on his expression, and asked calmly, "What do you mean?"

   "As long as we don't say I helped you, they won't know." Friday stepped back into the windbreak, avoiding the searchlights that had moved to this stretch of sand.

  Lu Li could only see the corner of her black robe, and her words continued to sound: "Remember, you haven't met me, don't worry about me, I'll sneak onto the boat."

   Having said that, Friday paused and added a sentence.

   "Also, welcome to join the investigator."
