Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 311 Two hundred and twenty six. Expansion and Radio

   Lu Li, who doesn't know the world, naturally doesn't know how to be polite. Since the bird's beak mask figure said that everything should go back to Lu Li, it means that he can evacuate this place.

   Lu Li did exactly that.

   He didn't do it himself, three or four hundred shillings wasn't worth wasting time. He called Jojo over and asked her to sell the furniture.

   Just in case, Lu Li reminded Qiaoqiao not to enter the basement, even though the evil thing there has been taken away. Leave the rest to Jojo - it's best to sell the house together.

   Except for a bulky radio and a photo of what appears to be the beak masked figure himself.

  The former moved to the detective agency and could listen to information in real time. The latter is for the beak mask figure.

  If she didn't die and suddenly appeared in front of Lu Li, she could still get something to hold her thoughts on.

   On the way Qiao Qiao arrived, Lu Li and Anna checked every room in the building, and after confirming that there was no other strangeness, they handed it over to Qiao Qiao who arrived, and they went to the workers' residence.

   "The Jones Brothers," as they were called.

   They are not real brothers, not even blood related, just the names that four teenagers got together in order to survive more than ten years ago.

   After more than ten years of mutual support and living together, their feelings and brotherhood are almost the same.

   This is one of the workers that Qiaoqiao introduced to Lu Li.

   They were surprised by Lu Li's visit. After all, when Qiaoqiao contacted them, they asked them to work again after the rain had subsided - they thought that the client behind Qiaoqiao would not agree.

   But it won't be too long. In today's newspaper, the weather column says that it will rain tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and they can go to work tomorrow.

   Lu Li told them about the situation on the cliff and the content of his work, as well as a "construction drawing" drawn by Lu Li yesterday evening.

It is written that Lu Li’s requirements for the expansion of the cave: the cave is excavated to the interior with a depth of two meters, a height of three meters, and a width of six meters. Possibly fast.

   The space dug out in this way is very flat, like a corridor running through the deepest part of the cave. The reason for this was that Lu Li had only three cubic meters of deep-sea rocks, so he could barely lay walls of this size and the ground on all four sides.

   However, with the follow-up acquisition, Lu Li can expand the cave at any time. The width of six meters has been reserved by Lu Li, which is enough to cover the deep-sea rocks with a thickness of one meter, so Lu Li only needs to dig deeper into the cave.

   The premise is that Lu Li can also buy deep sea stones.

  The eldest of the four Jones brothers hesitated to speak, and finally suppressed his curiosity about the employer's requirements, thinking about his quotation: "The completion date is about 2 to 4 days, and the four of them have a total salary of 160 shillings per day."

   Maybe he thought the price was too high and Lu Li might disagree. The boss said, "You should know the horrors of the forest... We take a lot of risks when we go there, and many workers are reluctant to go in."

   "It's a bit slow." Lu Li said.

  There are only two days of good weather, the rainy season will soon come, when the storm will cover the whole city, it is no longer the ordinary scene of only rain.

  Thunderstorms, strong winds, and coveted existences in the dark will appear one after another.

   The boss told Lu Li helplessly: "It won't take too much time to dig a cave, and we don't lack strength. It's just that the space for digging the cellar is too small, so we can only do it alone."

   "I want to finish it in two days, the cellar can be left unfinished."

   "Then there's no problem." The boss breathed a sigh of relief. "But to save time, you'd better hire a carriage to transport us and tools."

"Can."

   Lu Li did not refuse. A carriage can save at least two or three hours a day on the road.

  The cliff is actually only two to three miles away from the city in a straight line, but if it is calculated according to the mountain road that is difficult to walk, it is at least five or six miles away.

   It was agreed that he would bring a carriage to pick them up at dawn tomorrow. Lu Li left the residence of the Jones brothers and returned to the detective agency.

   The time is still very early, the hour hand is close to the number 9 and will soon be touched.

The    sculpture has a new behavior. Its intact arm points to the phone, indicating that Lu Li had a phone call while they were away.

   Recently he often gets phone calls after he goes out.

   It is also worth noting that the long-drenched sculpture has recently shown signs of activity again, as if after a rain of eerie.

   Maybe it was a strange rain that affected it, or maybe it was just a mere coincidence.

  Lu Li picked up the phone and asked the telephone office about the incoming call. Somewhat unexpectedly, it was not Qiaoqiao but Tesla who called.

  Ana was working out how to make the radio sound, and Lu Li dialed the dial to call Tesla.

  pop-

  The sound of Anna beating on the radio came, and Lu Li's black eyes fell: "There is a clockwork in the back, just screw it to the end."

   This is the reason why Lu Li came back with the radio - if the wires were to be connected, it would be sold along with those furniture.

"Oh!"

  Anna suddenly realized and responded, tilted her head and looked behind the radio, looking for the clockwork.

  The call is connected at this time.

   After Lu Li inquired about his purpose, Tesla told Lu Li that Thomas' funeral will be held at the cemetery in the Holy Father's block at 10 a.m. tomorrow, if he wants to attend.

   Lu Li was about to speak when a strange sound of people whispering and murmured echoed in the detective agency.

   "You're dealing with weirdness?" Tesla's voice in the microphone was surprised.

   "Mass on the radio." Lu Li swept over to Anna, who made the sound, and said, "Would you like to prepare a dress?"

   "No, your usual clothes are very formal." Tesla commented on Lu Li's usual clothes, and hung up the phone after explaining the matter.

   Anna at the dining table has almost figured out how to use the radio, and is adjusting the frequency to search for other signals. The "rustling" noise drowned out the "rushing" rain outside the window.

  The noise of snowflakes was occasionally mixed with a fleeting human voice. Anna kept adjusting the frequency, but no clear voice came out, and her movements gradually became anxious——

"Let me do it."

  Lu Li said, quelling the inexplicable restlessness in Anna's heart, she moved away with a "oh" obediently, looked at Lu Li's debugging, and asked, "Aren't we going to the cliff tomorrow?"

   "The funeral is at 10 am, so it's too late." Lu Li said calmly, turning the FM slowly. "You stay on the cliff to watch the workers and accompany Annie."

   "I want to follow you!" Anna was unwilling.

  【*Noise*…The owner of the grocery store has been taken away by the police station for investigation, and the police have…whispered…the victim’s family *distorted* Daily News…whisper…follow-up…]

   This is a radio station under the "Daily News". Lu Li tweaked it a bit to make the sound as clear as possible, and took his hand away.

   He said to Anna: "Most of the people present at the funeral are exorcists, you are not fit to appear there."

  Anna also knew this, so she reluctantly agreed to Lu Li's arrangement.
