Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 774 Sixty-five.

"tell me."

   Lu Li's black eyes moved away from the left hand that Jenard Matthews swung.

  The waiter holding the plate passed by, and Jenard Matthews took down a glass of red wine: "Its ritual is to get into the shadow of the victim and imitate the victim. If it is dismantled, the victim will die, right?"

   That was Anna's ceremony.

   "What happened to her after the silent hour became the silent hour?"

"she?"

  Yenard Matthews's strange address: "I haven't heard of it again, maybe disappear or be eliminated. You know, weirdos are also hostile to each other."

The voice of    fell, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

   "I'm leaving." Lu Li said, turning around and walking towards the waiter not far away.

  Yenard Matthews looked at his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

   "Where is Senator Sophie Shestrom?" Lu Li asked.

   "Oh... Please, please, Lord Exorcist, come with me." The waiter returned to his senses and led Lu Li to the edge of the hall.

  The old man in a gray tuxedo was talking softly with a graceful woman in a dark purple evening dress, and the waiter stepped forward and whispered to him.

  The old man raised his head and raised his glass to Lu Li who was approaching: "I am flattered by your visit."

  The graceful woman looked at Lu Li, her eyes mostly focused on that face and chest.

   "I want to ask something." Lu Li said.

  The old man put the wine glass back on the tray in the waiter's hand, and nodded after he walked away: "Of course, please say."

   "About Maiden's Shadow."

   "I know, you entrusted us this afternoon, right?" Congressman Sophie Shestrom remembered. "But not so fast... Our people are still investigating, maybe tonight or tomorrow..."

   He summoned his subordinates not far away to inquire about the progress. They did investigate some things, such as the fact that the shadow of the maiden had never raged in the barren land, and the proverb that "in the Hillevigg Mountains, no one can kill a cat".

   "It's in the Lord's Continent, where we have to contact Wiener Freezing Port."

   "Will it take a long time."

  Although telephone and telegrams are not lost, and there are other mysterious side communication methods, too far away will inevitably slow down the progress.

"Neither." Congressman Sophie Shestrom smiled: "You may not know, you are more popular there. I heard that all the newspapers about your return were sold out that day, and you are still local to this day. On the front page of the newspaper, the ambassador of Wiener Freeze has applied to the city hall several times to meet you."

   The ice-free port of Wiener, who yearns for the glory of the past, cares more about Luli.

   "Please tell me about finding the girl's shadow, if there is any news, I will meet him."

"give it to me."

   Senator Sophie Shestrom responded and asked curiously, "Is that evil spirit your enemy?"

  pop-

   Before Lu Li answered, crisp applause sounded in the center of the hall.

  Yenard Matthews put down his palm and smiled when the trivial conversation disappeared: "It's just that ordinary evening parties are too boring, why don't I tell you the story that happened before I fell asleep?"

   "It would be great if I could hear it." A middle-aged man wearing a councilor badge said with a smile.

  People gradually gathered around.

   "Let's go too."

   Senator Sophie Shestrom said, raised her arm, waited for the woman to hold him up, and joined the crowd with Lu Li.

   "I call it the Dream Eater, but what it does is not to devour dreams, but to keep you from falling asleep—"

   Jenard Matthews is a good storyteller.

   His contagious tone and expression made this experience interesting. Even if all the big names in Midnight City attended the party, they subconsciously followed the plot and exclaimed or sighed.

"Finally, I woke up from my long sleep, pushed away its wall-thick jellyfish-like body, and crawled out of the ground. Luckily the nearest old sewer was not far from me, where I met Cyrus Ray. Mr. Meng's subordinate, ask him to take me away."

"Of course! I still remember that little **** came to tell me to find Jenard Matthews, and I almost threw him out of the manor as a lunatic." The bear-like Senator Cyrus Raymond shouted in the crowd. .

With a smile, Jenard Matthews looked at Lu Li in the crowd: "I went to see Navin Lynch before attending the party, he was too old to remember me, but he still remembers Your Excellency Lu Li, And let me say hello to you and thank you for taking him to the top of the mountain."

   "Navin Lynch?"

   Lu Li was not impressed by the name.

   "It was the poor fellow who was brought to the top of the mountain by the sea, but he was later the most respected dean of Midnight City."

   "I don't remember this." Lu Li said calmly.

The    voice fell, the hall became quiet, and many doubtful eyes fell on him.

   "...Maybe he remembered it wrong." Yenard Matthews scratched his head like a young man.

  The crowd gradually dispersed, and the party continued. But from time to time, there are doubts looking at Lu Li.

  Yenard Matthews didn't come to him after that.

   Lu Li didn't stay at the city hall party for too long. Near 7 o'clock in the evening, he left the city hall and took a carriage to return to Appearance Clinens University.

   On the second day, Lu Li still had something to do.

  The Lange family and several families sent invitations to Lu Li to attend the party held at the Lange family manor tonight.

  Because of Dean Lawrence's persuasion, Lu Li did not refuse.

   As the afternoon approached, Lu Li took a carriage to the Lange family's luxurious manor, which was hard to see even in the old days.

   This party was more of a networking event than a distant town hall party.

   In addition to those in power of the family, there were also many young men and women who were brought in.

   In the soothing music, young nobles embraced and danced on the dance floor.

   An elf-like fair-skinned girl came to Lu Li and blinked her eyelashes nervously: "Can I ask you to do a dance?"

   "I can't jump."

   The girl's cheeks flushed: "It's okay...it's okay, I can teach you."

   "I don't want to jump."

   The disappointed girl left because Lu Li refused.

   "She is the youngest daughter of a congressman. Mr. Lu Li shouldn't have refused so bluntly." Sitting beside him, the current ruler of the Lange family, Tur Lange smiled warmly.

   At this moment, a loud noise came from outside the party.

  Tour Lange tilted his head, and the gentle smile disappeared from his face.

   A team of knights affiliated with the city hall was led and broke into his party.

   "Mr. Jenard Matthews."

  Tour Lange looked at the leader.

   "Should I say welcome?"

  Tour Lange did not invite Jenard Mathews because he did not belong to the circle.

   "Sorry to interrupt your party. I have something to say."

  Yenard Matthews ignored Tour Lange in front of him and landed on Lu Li behind him, his eyes were only scrutiny.

   "About this, the impostor who pretended to be Lu Li."
