Chapter 318 Peiman: There is only one truth!
Night falls, which is perfect for sneaking in and investigating.

"The situation... is already very clear!" Pei Man said after the two of them had been squatting near No. 138, Rose Street for a long time:
"From the garbage outside the house, it's clear that someone lives in the house, and no one cooks there. They only eat bread and food delivered from outside...

"But it was just getting dark and there was no light on inside? He was creating the illusion that no one was in the house? Yet he didn't pay attention to the disposal of domestic waste... Not a very professional killer?!

"Someone is guarding the body? Someone is crouching down on others?"

"Uh... maybe there's really no one inside? The garbage might have been thrown there by someone else..." Leonard put forward his own reasoning.

"Trust a woman's sixth sense!"

Peiman held down and shook Leonard's shoulders twice, and said with a sharp look in her eyes:

"Believe me, I've seen this kind of case countless times! In the past, it was always solved by the Death God Elementary School Student. This time it's my turn!
"Follow me! Sneak in! If there's anyone inside, remember to sleep with him!"

Leonard said in horror: "Hey! What do you mean by 'asleep'? That's my real extraordinary ability 'Midnight Poetry'!"

"Okay, Mr. Midnight Poet, come with me and let's sleep with the people inside together!" Peiman took out two masks from her pocket, wrapped them around her face very naturally, and then helped Leonard put them on. They climbed into No. 138 from the hiding place one after the other.

Then, the two of them followed the water pipe and easily climbed up to the small balcony on the second floor where clothes were hung out to dry.

Peiman laughed silently with her hands on her hips, then took out a thin wire from her pocket, twisted it slightly, and turned it into a simple key, and began to poke at the balcony lock. However, after she pokes for a long time, the door shows no sign of being opened...

Leonard also laughed at this unreliable operation. Peiman is sometimes... how should I put it, a little naive...

He walked up and patted Peiman on the shoulder, indicating that he should do it. Peiman reluctantly retracted the thin wire and muttered something.

Leonard opened his arms and chanted:

"Ah, the threat of fear, the crimson hope!

"At least one thing is true..."

The poem seemed to have the power to relax and soothe people; even Peiman yawned and leaned back against the balcony railing.

Then, Leonard suddenly swung his shoulders, punched out, and hit the door lock. The wooden board around the door lock immediately shattered, and a hole appeared that was big enough for a hand to pass through.

He reached into the hole and unlocked the door. He was very familiar with this operation, having done it many times in Tingen City... and after digesting the "Midnight Poet" potion, his skills and poetry abilities were significantly enhanced! Therefore, it was easier to operate.

"Wow! That's awesome!" Peiman's eyes sparkled. After shaking off her sleepiness, she followed Leonard into the house and went straight to the master bedroom. At this moment, a slight noise was heard from inside!

Leonard's expression changed. There really was someone there! And there was more than one! Peiman's reasoning was probably right again! He immediately recited the poem again:
"After a flower blooms, it will die..."

As the room fell silent again, he turned the handle, pushed the door open and rushed in. With his night vision, he immediately spotted three men in the dark. One of them was on the bed, one was at the desk, and one was at the sofa. They were all sleeping soundly! Leonard sighed and completely believed what Peiman said that Zreal was dead. He waved his hand to indicate that the danger was over, but after waiting for a while, the lady didn't come in. He turned around in confusion and saw Peiman leaning against the wall in the corridor and snoring...

He couldn't help but hold his forehead. "Midnight Poem" was a range attack, and he couldn't control it! He hurriedly left the room, held her shoulders, and tried to shake her a few times.

Peiman opened her sleepy eyes and muttered:
"Mom, I won't eat breakfast...Wake me up at noon, I'll sleep a little longer...

"Uh! Who are you, handsome guy?
"Leonard?! Ah, I fell asleep? The people inside must have fallen asleep too? Go check under the bed, in the closet, behind the sofa to see if there is any body..." Peiman propped herself up, regained consciousness and spoke quickly.

"I understand. I'll go right away. You can take a break. Leave the search to me." Leonard recalled the lady's sleeping face and her dream talk before. He felt distressed for no reason. Her hometown was so beautiful and there were so many delicious foods, but he had never heard her talk about her family...

She used to get up at noon, but now she gets up early every day to make breakfast for herself in different ways...

She could see my inner confusion, so she kept me busy in various ways to prevent me from thinking about negative things...

Leonard stepped back into the room, his steps firm. With such a beautiful woman by his side, what else could he ask for? If she wanted to go crazy, he would go crazy with her! If she wanted to be quiet, he would be quiet with her! And the hateful "Aurora Society" that was spying on her secretly... He had to find them out and eliminate her hidden dangers!
“Old man, help me check if there is a secret room or hidden compartment in this room. I… know that you deliberately didn’t let me find it that time in order to protect me… I don’t blame you, this is my fate.

"But I hope, I hope she can be safe, I hope I can protect her... Is there any hidden danger in this matter? Should we withdraw?"

[“Fate… kid, some things can’t be avoided. There is no dark room here, but there are processed bloodstains on the floor. These three people are from the Zmanger Party. The owner of the house is dead. The body is not here, but in the sewer entrance at the right turn at the bottom of Tietan Street in the East District. I know this so clearly only because one of the three was responsible for disposing of the body. Don’t come to me for other matters! Well, remember to call me when dinner is ready.”]

"..." Leonard couldn't hold it in any longer. Just tell me earlier! Do I have to kneel down and beg you? ! Zmanger gang, the mafia? The mafia killed Zreal... and found someone to disguise as him? There's no need for that! But the old man won't tell me more information! Oh, if I were already a nightmare, I could invade the dream of the person who dumped the corpse and find out what happened...

He followed the old man's instructions and found bloodstains on the carpet. He turned around and gestured to Peiman who had come into the room, pointing to the ground.

Peiman observed carefully for a few seconds, then nodded. After collecting a few easy-to-carry items belonging to the original owner, she led Leonard out of the bedroom and whispered after closing the door:
"The three people inside may be the murderers, or they may be instructed by someone else...

"What do you think we should do now? Knock them out and notify Sivellas, and leave a report letter at the scene? Killing me directly is not recommended... Then the case may be taken over by the authorities, and the psychic may reveal something..."

Leonard was silent for a while, then he took Peiman's hand and walked out. When they left the house and reached a safe place, he said:
“We can’t do anything to these three people. Once something happens to them, the authorities can easily conclude that it’s related to us based on Ian’s commission, and normal detectives will never take the incident so seriously.

“To complete this commission, we still need to find Zreal’s body, which is the key evidence of the murder.

“Otherwise, the three people’s arrest could be explained as being motivated by money and stealing.

“And the person pretending to be Zreal may reappear and offer to settle the case for money, and the other party may not even go to jail.

"Pei Man, anyway, we may be involved in a very troublesome incident..."
