Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 287 202. Remi's request

  Abundant rain, gloomy sky, and complex emotions derived from it.

   This is something that will appear on a rainy day.

   Pessimists usually choose to sigh in gloomy weather rather than bright sunny days.

  Lu Li is not a pessimist, but the world he sees is worse than a pessimist.

   In the early morning of the next day, the rain did not weaken at all compared to yesterday, and the majestic rain enveloped the whole city, as if the lead-grey sea water was hiding behind thick clouds.

   If it wasn't for the newspaper delivered a few minutes ago that it was still expected to arrive next Wednesday, Lu Li would have thought that the rainy season had arrived earlier.

  Depending on the topography of Belfast, there is almost no flooding here, only turbulent currents rush down the canals to the sea.

  Anna was preparing food in the kitchen. Lu Li went out to buy today's ingredients while the market was still open half an hour ago.

   Before the businessman arrived, he put down the newspaper with a bang, and Lu Li picked up the envelope beside him.

   Signed Remy & Jimmy on it, counting the time, it was time for them to send the letter.

  【Dear Lu Li】

  【We have left Shanjiao Town to Simfast, Shanjiao Town is boring, there is only a mountain with nothing. 】

   [There seems to be something wrong there, which is very against us outsiders. I am sure that Jimmy did not show his body in the car, but they still drove us out. 】

   [That's a bunch of unfriendly guys... But don't worry, remember what I said earlier, we've already arrived at Shymfast. 】

  【In the end, we didn’t enter Shanjiao Town, but fortunately there were kind townspeople who were willing to sell us food. You know, I secretly asked the townspeople if there was something going on in the town, but the townspeople seemed to be scared and ran away and didn't even dare to say anything. 】

   [Forget it, let’s not talk about that town, let’s talk about Simfast. It's worthy of being called the capital of art, and the streets are full of people selling their paintings, as if everyone uses a paintbrush. For a small sum of money I had a very old man paint me a portrait. But there's only one painting and it won't fit in an envelope... I'll show you when we get to Belfast. 】

   [Brother Jimmy also wants a portrait, but he can't get out of the car, that would expose him... It's a shame, when will people stop being prejudiced against monsters? 】

   [Writing here, I suddenly remembered, yesterday stupid Jimmy said he saw you, how is this possible, this guy must be confused again, remembering Shymfast as Belfast. He was always like this, normal and confused. 】

[I bought a newspaper here, and it said that there will be heavy rain these days. We originally planned to go directly to Belfast to find you, but now it seems that we have to stop on the road for a while. The map says Conch Town and Watch Town... Watch Town is very close to you. 】

  【It's almost too late to write, so let's go here. 】

  【Your good friends, Remy & Jimmy. 】

  …

   is the end of the handwriting, but not the end of the letter.

   A few lines of scribbled handwriting appeared under the lines of the signature, as if someone had written it in a hurry.

  【My name is Remy, and I wrote this sentence secretly when I took the letter and sacrificed it. Remember when I said that Jimmy would be normal and confused for a while? He's been like this for a while, and the stupor is increasing. Although he wouldn't attack me then, he would want to attack ordinary people nearby. 】

  【I can cover these up for the time being, but I'm worried that his condition will continue to deteriorate until one day he won't wake up again... I have only this relative, please help me. 】

  【It's very close to Belfast, our letter may arrive in a day, when we should be in Conch Town. I'll be waiting for you in Conch Town for a day, and if you get it in time, if you know what's going on with Jimmy or have a way to help him, please do write to me. 】

  【Remy & Jimmy who need your help】

   The letter was postmarked Symfast, and Remy was still there when she sent it.

   It is worth noting that this letter is no longer one-way.

  Remi is eager for Lu Li to respond to her.

   This is very different from the past.

   Lu Li didn't know whether Remy really needed help or something else, he proved his decision with his actions.

   He tore a blank page of note paper.

   Although it was only spoken by Tesla, Lu Li still remembered Jimmy's situation. He was transformed into a monster outside the ruins, but for some reason it was not completely transformed. He retained the human consciousness and also had a monster body transformed from a shadow.

  In other words, Jimmy's situation at this time is likely to have something to do with this.

  【I am Lu Li, I have received your letter and the previous ones. 】

  【I'm guessing Jimmy's condition is related to the monster's body, he may be being affected by that body. The content of the letter is too small for me to be more specific. If there is time, I hope you will tell me more. 】

After   's usual brevity, Lu Li paused a little and added: [Just in case, don't let him get wet. 】

   After writing, Lu Li put away the pen, folded the paper into an envelope, and put it in the envelope.

  The postman has already left, and the next time he arrives will be tomorrow morning, when it may be too late. He can only go to the post office once, or...

  A merchant can do anything, maybe it can part-time as a postman?

   At this moment, Anna's voice wafted out of the kitchen along with the aroma: "Lu Lili~ Breakfast will be ready soon."

   Not long after, Anna, who was wearing a floral apron around her waist, walked out of the kitchen with a pot and brought it to the dining table.

   Lu Li was halfway through his meal when he heard dull footsteps coming from the corridor.

   Merchant arrives.

   opened the door, as if a businessman who had just swam ashore from the sea walked into the detective agency, leaving a line of wet traces, and placed the second deep-sea stone on the first.

  The businessman took off the huge backpack that was a little taller than a cubic meter of deep-sea rocks, and took out this week's "Investigator Weekly" and handed it to Lu Li.

  The strange thing is that it was still brand new and dry, with only wet marks left on the corner held by the merchant.

  Lu Li took the weekly newspaper, turned around and walked to the desk to put down the newspaper, picked up the envelope and handed it to the businessman: "Are you part-time mail delivery?"

   "Where, for how long."

   "Conch Town, tomorrow at the latest."

   "Today to 5 investigation points, tomorrow to 3 investigation points."

   "Then it will be delivered today and give you cash."

   reached into his arms to take the money, only to see the businessman suddenly take the initiative to say, "Are you sure you want to send this letter?"

   Lu Li, who had dealt with several different businessmen, knew how silent they were, but now, a businessman was taking the initiative to speak to him.

  Lu Li frowned slightly and asked, "What's the problem?"

"trouble."

   "Speak clearly."

   "They are coming into reality through you."
