Mystery: From Meeting Amon

Chapter 43 He's Lying
"Detective Lewis, you are really good at making black tea." Moses Mario took a sip of black tea and began to tell.

"The case happened just two or three hours ago. The detective opposite you, that is, Mr. Bernie, had an appointment with a beautiful lady. It is said that it was to celebrate that a certain detective was about to move out of the night vanilla block.

When he met the other party, he heard that the lady's family had undergone drastic changes, from being the daughter of a wealthy businessman to almost being reduced to selling her body in a brothel.

In order to help the poor lady, Mr. Burney decided to lend all his money, totaling a thousand pounds, to the lady, so that the lady could get out of trouble. "

"This seems to be a simple fraud case. There are always some idiots who are not very good at thinking. They are either confused by beauty, or just think they have found true love." Lewis sneered at this, as a Detective Bernie was a disgrace to the detective industry that a famous detective would be deceived by such a low-level trick and report to the police afterwards.

"You're right, but if it's just like this, we won't come to you." Moses Mario continued to explain: "Mr. Bernie called the police afterwards, and he didn't understand why he agreed to lend the other party a thousand Pound, obviously they only met for the second time. In addition, Detective Bernie claimed that he couldn’t remember the details of the money he borrowed, and he didn’t even remember the other person’s appearance. He could only describe the other person’s round face, and his name was Triss. It might just be a code name."

Lewis' heart sank suddenly. When he heard the second half of Moses Mario's description, Lewis knew that Bernie Cooper had encountered an extraordinary event, but he didn't expect that the other party happened to meet Triss.

"He was cheated out of all his money by a man!"

While sympathizing with what happened to Detective Bernie, Lewis couldn't help but want to laugh. Because he was about to move out of the block, Detective Bernie invited a woman out to celebrate, but he happened to meet the witch Triss. I was cheated out of all my savings.

congratulations!

"If I were to analyze it, I would just tell you that Detective Bernie was lying. He must have been willing when he borrowed the money, but for some reason he regretted it afterwards. Until now, deep down in his heart, he still has feelings for that woman." There is a trace of admiration, so I don't want to tell you the specific appearance of that lady." Lewis said in a deep voice.

Triss is a witch, and witches do not have the ability to rewrite a person's memory, so it can be determined that Detective Bernie is lying.

A person who has been charmed by a witch, it is normal to take out money under the impulse of emotion at that time.Of course, when you calm down afterwards, there are not a few people who regret it.

Moses Mario frowned and began to think. The old gentleman beside him showed surprise in his eyes. The other party could analyze that Detective Bernie was lying just from Moses Mario's description.

In fact, if he hadn't been there when Detective Bernie reported the crime, and noticed Detective Bernie's wandering eyes, even he wouldn't have been able to tell.

"Mr. Lewis, you are really an experienced detective." The old gentleman took off his beret excitedly, and couldn't help but respect him, and said: "If possible, please let me take over this detective firm. Quite a bit of experience."

Lewis glanced at the old gentleman in surprise, and Moses Mario hurriedly introduced: "This is a retired officer of mine. His dream is to be a detective. He just heard about the magic of Mr. Lewis, so he wanted to come and talk to him. You discuss various cases in Tingen."

Moses Mario sighed, and said helplessly, "I just didn't expect Mr. Lewis to transfer the detective agency."

"I'm sorry about that, but I'd be happy to give up the office to the officer." Lewis smiled.

After some discussion, he charged ten pounds for shop rent and consultancy fees, and then told Moses he had to go to the railway station.

Tonight, he will take the train to Backlund, temporarily staying away from the shadow of the sealed item 0-08.

……

Tingen at night was a bit cold. In an alley not far from the East District Workhouse, a man with dirty clothes and smell of alcohol wandered through the alley.

Unlike ordinary poor people, he has strong muscles, and a scar under the corner of his eye seems to tell his brilliant deeds.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, and a panic expression appeared on the face of the scarred man. He let out a "ho ho" sound from his throat, and then fell into the dirty puddle.

The black shadow appeared under the dim moonlight. She was wearing a black cloak and held a blood-stained dagger in her hand. It could be distinguished that it was a thin lady.

"Bang!" There was a sudden gunshot, and the lady was shot in the shoulder.

She glanced at the place where the gunshots came from in a little surprise, and then a strong thrust erupted from her feet, and she ran towards the train station in the distance.

……

At night, Lewis finally got a train ticket to Backlund. The train had already arrived, and the crowd turned into a torrent and rushed towards the entrance.

Lewis looked back at the city shrouded in night, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Judging from the memory he inherited, the original owner of the body has not left this small city for more than ten years, and has deep feelings for this small city.

"One day I will come back again, but at that time, I already had an extra quill in my hand." Lewis smiled lightly, and then followed the crowd and squeezed onto the train to Backlund.

With the sound of the train whistle, the huge train made the sound of steel rubbing, and the mechanical power made Lewis stand in awe.

Opposite Lewis's seat was a beautiful lady with blond hair. The other party's skin was white and her face was small, a bit like a legendary elf.

Of course, Lewis knew that elves, giants, and dragons had not appeared in this world for a long time.

The beautiful lady seemed to have seen Lewis, and she smiled slightly, making her look even more charming.

Lewis suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. He nodded politely to the lady, then got up and went to the bathroom at the end of the carriage.

Since the Triss incident, he hadn't tasted the taste of a witch for some days, which made him always feel an uncontrollable desire.

Thanks to the fact that Lewis is already a Sequence Eight "machine" and has almost completely digested the potion, he usually does not show any abnormalities, but at that moment just now, he suddenly felt a little uncontrollable.

As soon as he walked outside the washroom, Lewis' body was hit. He felt a strong impact, and a thin woman hit him.

Fortunately, he himself is a transcendent, so he can easily defuse this impact, so that he will not be taken by the other party and fall into the carriage.

"Miss Cherry, why are you here?" Lewis looked towards the end of the other carriage, and he felt a slight sense of danger. Someone was chasing Cherry.
