Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 358 Two hundred seventy-three. And the scam

  【“Where is your uncle?”】

  【The Viscount returned to the room, only his daughter Sarah was standing in the study room. "He's gone," Sarah replied. 】

  【"What? I'm right at the door... Well, it must be another circus trick. What did he tell you?" The Viscount asked with a hint of disgust in his tone. "He said he would come back to see me in a while," Sarah replied. "I see, you can go back to your room. Also, go to the etiquette teacher to receive punishment later, and see how you look like a noble now..."]

   [Amidst the chattering scolding of the Viscount, Sara just pursed her lips and said nothing. "Goodbye, Lord Father." After the Viscount finished speaking, Sarah exited the study. 】

   [The door is closed, and only the Viscount is left in the study. When no one was around, the Viscount took off the majesty of the head of the family, like a middle-aged man who was about to grow old. 】

  【At this moment, the Viscount raised his head and sniffed strangely. 】

  【There seems to be an imperceptible smell of blood in the air. 】

  【“Uncle Butler.” “Hello, Miss.” In the corridor, Sarah made standard etiquette and greetings from the butler, and walked staggered. In the housekeeper's gratified eyes, the smile on Sarah's face who had gone away quickly disappeared and she became indifferent. 】

  【"Butler." The viscount's voice came from the study, and the old butler who heard the call walked into the study. 】

["I have already booked the wedding time of Sarah and Francis with Count Fran, just a week later." The Viscount said to the butler, "At that time, there will be many nobles who will be there to watch the ceremony, so you can make a list of who needs to be invited. ."]

  【"Will this be a little urgent?" The old butler asked slightly hesitantly. 】

["I can make Sarah calm down earlier, her heart is about to be hooked by that wild boy." The Viscount snorted coldly, thought about it and added: "Also, remember to send an invitation to Andrew." 】

  【"Andrew?" The butler looked at the Viscount with a very strange look: "You mean your brother Andrew? But he fell to his death when he was ten years old..."]

  【The Viscount was silent for a long time, as if he was remembering something, and slowly rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I don't know why I suddenly remembered him... Well, just do as before."]

  【"Good sir." The housekeeper exited the study. 】

   [The study is quiet again, and the Viscount begins to handle the official affairs of the territory. 】

  【A touch of confusion remains deep in your heart. 】

  【…】

   [Sarah walked around the corner of the corridor, her graceful steps became hurried, she quickly left the mansion, and walked along the outer wall to the bushes downstairs in the study. 】

  【But Sarah didn't see anything. There was no Andrew's body, no cooling blood, not even an indentation - the neatly manicured bushes swayed in the breeze, and Sarah felt no warmth in the bright sun. 】

   [Andrew is gone, as if he never fell. 】

   [Sara couldn't believe what she saw, she suddenly thought of something, stood on tiptoe to look at the bushes, and saw the handkerchief that fell along with Andrew's body. 】

  【The handkerchief fell in the middle of the bushes, Sarah squeezed into the bushes, her expensive silk dress was cut open, and her arms and calves were scratched with tiny scars one after another. Sarah ignored this and got the handkerchief. 】

  【The snow-white handkerchief is as white as new, spotless, as if the crimson blood stained before was just her own illusion. 】

【how so……? 】

   [Sarah couldn't understand the scene in front of her, standing in the bushes that covered her waist in a daze. 】

   [At some point, Sarah suddenly remembered the description of the devil she had seen in an ancient book. 】

  【They incarnate dead people and walk among the world. Use evil and strange means to lure people into depravity, make them full of sins return to **** after death, and become the minions of the devil. 】

   [Sara gradually remembered the most, for example, she did have an uncle, that uncle Andrew had died before she was born, and there was no doll...]

  [In order to determine what, Sarah struggled to run out of the bushes, lifted her skirt, and ran back to the bedroom with the surprised gazes of the servants. 】

  【When 啷——】

   [Sarah opened the wooden box next to the wardrobe, which was full of her past memories. Childhood toys, favorite wooden comb, cute little bear doll... With the sound of rummaging, Sarah turned to the bottom of the wooden box. 】

  【She didn't find the doll. 】

  【Her uncle is not human. 】

  【Her heart is full of fear. 】

   [But the next moment, the fear was dispelled by the firmness of the heart. 】

  【No one can stop Sarah from resurrecting Adam. 】

  【The devil can't either. 】

  …

【Da da da--】

   [Echoing footsteps sounded outside the basement. 】

   The obscure ancient voice rang in my ears.

  Lu Li raised his head, his black eyes hidden in the shadows revealed, and he looked up the steps.

  The wooden door is still closed.

   Always pay attention to the baron on Lu Li's side when he notices his movement and looks up strangely.

  【The footsteps stopped outside the door of the basement and fell silent. 】

   Petra and the housekeeper also noticed the strangeness of Lu Li and looked here one after another.

   [Servant Lu Li knew who was coming, but he still had hope and couldn't help but ask, "Who is it! Who is outside!"]

   "Sarah is here?" Anna asked softly in her ear.

  Lu Li didn't answer, he turned his head to look at the few people who were looking here, raised his head again, and stared at the dark walls of the basement.

  Time passed by, Lu Li did not respond to the obscure ancient voice, but the black mist of the evil spirit never descended.

  【"Strange, how can you hear someone talking...Who is it? Who is here?" Unfamiliar shouts came from the woodshed above. Not Sarah! Lu Li's heart was filled with joy, he couldn't wait to shout to the outside: "I'm here! Help me, let us out!"]

  Lu Li was silent, quietly listening to the grey ancient voice echoing in his ears.

   The black mist still did not descend.

  【"Did I hear it wrong?" The man on the ground muttered, shook his head, turned and walked out of the woodshed. 】

  【His footsteps are leaving. At this time, as long as Lu Li shouted loudly and told the people on the ground, he would be saved. Together with his beloved Irene, he could enjoy the bright sunshine, the care of his companions, and the death threat away from him. 】

  The obscure ancient sound stopped, and the footsteps gradually became smaller until they disappeared completely.

   Lu Li never responded.

  【But he didn't. 】

The sound of    was filled with regret and curse, and the obscure ancient sound gradually moved away.

  【Lu Li lost his only chance to get out alive...it's a pity...he will die like a poor **** in the dark, damp, smelly basement. 】

  Some kind of terrifying existence with malicious intent escaped from the surroundings of Lu Li.
