Chapter 324 The Detective is Busy
Ding-Dang, the doorbell rang suddenly.
"Fuck! This is too much! Who else is here at this time? Screw him!"
Peiman held an exquisite revolver in each hand. After performing a few gun tricks, he walked towards the door angrily and raised his hand to shoot through the door.
Leonard was startled, and hurried forward to hold her arm and said:
"The devil won't knock on the door. It could be a client... We can just hang up a sign saying 'Busy investigating'..."
After Peiman put away his revolver, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. Outside the door was the client, Ian. The big boy looked alert, and he had obviously heard some unusual noises just now...
"You're here just in time," Leonard stepped forward and stopped at the door and said:
"We have completed your commission. Detective Zrel... is dead. He has been dead for several days, right? Well, the body is in the sewer entrance at the bottom of Iron Carbon Street in the East District.
"I'm sorry that we can't go with you, because we got into a lot of trouble due to a previous commission... You'd better not approach our house, it might be dangerous.
"As for the commission... apart from the 5 pounds you paid, we made 15 pounds..." Leonard saw Ian's shocked expression, and when he heard 15 pounds, he looked at him like you're kidding me, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and said:
"Go call the police, we'll cover the 15 pounds... If you have a chance in the future, just do three things for us. Bye!"
Bang! The door was closed with a loud noise.
Ian didn't even go in. For some reason, he felt that the wind in Backlund was a little chilly today... He hurriedly turned up the collar of his old coat to cover his face, and left with his head shrunk. He wanted to confirm Detective Zreal's situation with his own eyes. If he was really in trouble, he would have to contact... a higher-level intelligence officer (spy).
……
Jingle, jingle.
"Fuck!" Peiman jumped up from the sofa with red eyes, and started spinning with the revolver in her hand!
"Calm down!" Leonard finally discovered Peiman's "shortcomings"... Well, they weren't shortcomings, they were just some bad habits! When she was emotionally unstable, she was prone to extremes... In fact, this was already evident from the time she prayed to the evil god for power to kill Madam Sharon... He quickly hugged her and said:
"Let me go!"
"You guys? You're not allowed to lose money this time! 15 pounds for a boy to help three times? What do we need a minor for?!" Peiman said angrily.
"Okay, okay, I get it!" Leonard was helpless. He just saw that Ian couldn't pay the balance, so he quickly sent him away...
The door was opened again, and this time there was indeed someone who had a commission. The man had a big beard and light green eyes. It was Detective Stuart. He had previously commissioned the two to help find Emlyn White. Now the detective looked flustered, and it was obvious that he was not here for a mission to find someone.
"Sherlock! Did you receive any threatening letters? Listen to me, two people who participated in Mr. Eisinger's detective team have been confirmed dead! They were killed by the serial killer's accomplices!"
"..." Leonard could only say:
"Yes, I also saw the 'threatening letter'. We went to Sivella's Field this morning and found that many detectives who received the letter had already been there..."
"Isn't this the great detective Stuart?" Peiman's bright and beautiful smile appeared beside Leonard, and she said slowly:
"We already have a clue about the missing person you asked us to find! Yes, it's that big boy Emlyn. Our informant said that he saw him on Rose Street in the South District of Daqiao two days ago! He looked weak and not in good condition at the time... Maybe he was taken in by someone nearby!"
After the party last night, the two of them went to the Harvest Church on Rose Street and immediately found Emlyn White in a brown priest's robe... Well, he had been doing volunteer work in this church during his disappearance! When they saw the giant Bishop Utravsky, they also understood what was going on with his "voluntary work", and Emlyn asked them with shining eyes to notify his parents to save him...
At that time, countless imprisonment, men against men, and indescribable scenes flashed through Peiman's mind...but the other party's parents did not choose to call the police, so they could not report this "extraordinary imprisonment" to the Harvest Church.
"Ah? Really! That's great!" Stuart was stunned at first, and then he felt a little happy. He had a heavy commission, but he was powerless to complete it... Anyone who has experienced it knows!
The reason why I was so emotional after reading the threatening letter was also because of this commission... Oh, right! The threatening letter!
He hurriedly said:
"You guys are really great detectives with connections and abilities! I really didn't ask the wrong people for help!
"But I can only apologize first. Because we are involved in this troublesome 'revenge' case, I can't go to the White couple to settle the balance for the time being... But don't worry, I will never shortchange you in the future!
"Our top priority right now is our own personal safety. Perhaps we can go find Detective Isengard together? He has close ties with the police, so it's not impossible to convince them to protect us!"
"Uh... that makes sense," Leonard pulled back Peiman, whose expression changed slightly, and said:
"We need to change clothes and get our 'equipment'. You know, sometimes it's not convenient to carry guns with you..."
"I understand! I understand very well!" Stuart breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll call a cab and wait for you on the street. Uh... I think it might be safer for us to go together..."
……
"Damn it, another freeloader! 20 pounds plus 20 pounds, 40 pounds are gone... How many days is it enough to feed us? 1, 2, 3..." Peiman threw away the revolver and began to count the money on her fingers angrily.
"He will give it to us..." Leonard put on his windbreaker, took Peiman's lady's coat and put it on her, saying:
"Well, even if we invested, we still gained connections! Look, Stuart came to find Detective Watson and his assistant right away~
"In your words, it's 'We're famous!'" He imitated Peiman's tone deliberately for the last sentence, making it come alive.
"Haha! You're right!" Peiman regained some strength. She put on the sleeves of her coat, loaded her revolver, and suddenly said thoughtfully:
"Since we have invested, we cannot lose money! I originally thought that if Stuart knelt, he would kneel down, but in this case, we have to save his life...
"Oh ha ha! The title of the great detective will be promoted by these witnesses!
"Hey, he doesn't seem to be a Beyonder. This is going to be a difficult task!"
"Uh..." Leonard never expected that Peiman had thought so far ahead...
