Chapter 301 Strange Dance and Little Girl
"Well, let's discuss this. My two old lords, if you want to drink, I'll be here soon."

Even if Liu Yonglu had eight guts, he wouldn't dare to back down. He quickly pulled Mili Tang aside and whispered:
"Mi Li'er, why did you agree to this? The dinner party at the Continental Expo, what kind of occasion is that? How can you bring someone along just because you want to?"

"Hmph, don't try to trick me. Don't you have the right to agree to Marquette's female companion? What is Captain Ricky's current status? He is a hotshot in the Investigation Department, a genius that even Prince Andrew relies on. What's the big deal about having two female companions around?"

Millie Tang rolled her eyes and her voice turned into a female one.

Liu Yonglu's scalp tingled when he listened to this. Mi Li'er was not there when Dora and White were having a quarrel. How did she know about it? Besides, he didn't hug anyone left and right. It was so unfair!
The bad luck was on Kogan. The young man was happy today because the captain's restaurant was open. It was the first time he saw so many nobles and celebrities. He was a little restrained at first, but he was happy again when he saw the menu.

The original price of the Imperial Jade Wine was 180 pounds, but today it was discounted to 1.8 pounds as a gift to customers. Moreover, since he was Captain Ricky's guest, he didn't have to spend a penny and could eat and drink for free. He would not be Kougan if he didn't take advantage of this.

So the young man ate whatever was delicious and drank whatever was delicious, until his little belly was full. He drank more than ten pots of Palace Jade Liquor. To be honest, this wine was really good. It was pleasant to drink but not intoxicating. He didn't get drunk even after drinking so many pots!
Seeing Millie Tang and Lin Brown coming back, Kogan wanted to annoy Millie Tang sincerely under the influence of alcohol. There was no conflict between them before, and Kogan simply didn't want to see his idol Captain Ricky entangled with this "same-sex partner" again.

"Mr. Millie Tang, our Captain Ricky is really capable. Miss Dora, you have seen it too. I just heard that they are the Sisters of the Lake from Calder County.

I won't talk about their relationship! I guess, as long as Captain Ricky nods and hooks his finger, the New New Londo newspaper will publish...headline news tomorrow.

Just call it... Miss Dora, the rising star of the musical, is already... taken, and the background of the mysterious lucky guy remains a mystery, hahahaha."

"Oh? What happened between Mr. Rich and Miss Dora just now?"

Millie Tang turned her head, holding a small silver knife and fork in her hand, and smiled so sweetly. All the Kogan people were stunned. No wonder Mr. Rich liked him so much. He looked so good when he smiled, no worse than the two ladies.

"Ah, ah, just now Miss Dora and Miss White were jealous of Captain Ricky. You didn't see that the way they looked at the captain was like wolves seeing meat."

"Oh? What about Ricky? How does he do it?"

Millie Tang turned her head and looked at Liu Yonglu. Liu Yonglu was talking to General Norman who had just entered the room. Feeling Millie Tang's gaze, he turned his head and smiled.

There must be something wrong with her smiling so flatteringly!

"Captain Ricky... naturally he hugged her left and right, hahahaha..."

Kou Gang didn't even look at Liu Yonglu being surrounded by women. This scene and the plot for the next hour or so were all made up in his mind, but he continued to describe it under the influence of alcohol, and didn't notice that Millie Tang next to him had turned green in the face.

After Liu Yonglu heard what Mili Tang said, he wanted to strangle Kou Gang to death. He was really ready to drag Mili Tang over to confront him, and stood in front of Kou Gang, pointing at him and cursing:

"You heard it from someone? You saw it! You heard it from someone? You saw it! Bah!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Ricky, there are so many people watching, don't do anything."

When Liu Yonglu pulled her hand like that, Millie Tang quickly pulled his hand away as if she had been electrocuted, her face flushed red.

"No, if you don't believe me, ask Marquette, Oliver, I really didn't do anything, I just beat them up and tried to stop the fight."

"Hmph, I'll ask Oliver later."

Millie Tang was quite cunning. He knew that Marquette had a good relationship with Liu Yonglu and would definitely cover for him, but Oliver was a man who always said what he thought and never gave face to anyone.

"What should I say when I cut it? Give me an idea. Do I really want to take the two of them with me?"

"Yes, take her with you. Miss Dora has just arrived in New Newland, and it would be good for her to meet some important people at the dinner party.

As for White... hmph, you take her in, I will make my own arrangements."

White's suspicion on Millie Tang not only did not decrease, but became even heavier. She chose the right time to save the situation today too well. Even if someone wanted to use her to assassinate Ricky before, she couldn't have known it so clearly.

And unlike Dora, Milly Tang could feel that Miss White's eyes and expression... were somewhat deliberate. She couldn't explain why, it was simply an intuition.

"That's what you said. I'm going to stop you. Don't put the blame on me again."

"I said, go back."

When the two of them were returning, Sir Gregory had somehow joined in the conversation between the two old gentlemen.

"Mr. Asley, did you see old Mallenko tonight?"

"Old Malenko? Not only can the poor old fellow not come today, he will probably have to lie in bed in the sanatorium for some time to come."

"What's up with him?"

Sir Gregory frowned slightly. Malenko was the vice president of the Royal Astronomical Society, and he had invited him to come today. No wonder he hadn't been seen.

"I was injured. I hit my head. Alas, I heard from the servants that a man went to take a shower and when he came out, his foot slipped and he fell pretty hard.

And after waking up, his mind was not clear, he kept mumbling, and no one knew what he was saying. "

"Is he saying that he has seen a truth that transcends his time, and that his research for most of his life is worthless?"

Sir Gregory spoke slowly and seriously.

"It seems there are one or two sentences like this. The original words are slightly different, but the general meaning is this. Sir Gregory, how did you know?" Seeing Liu Yonglu and Milly Tang coming over, Gregory curled his lips and waved at them:

"Come with me to the bar and pour me a drink. Ricky, your Royal Court Liquor is too light. Change it to something stronger."

On the way to the bar, Gregory continued the topic of the astronomer falling in his bathroom:

"This is not the first case. In the past half month, six scholars in New New Lent have had brain problems.

Old Malenko didn't fall down for no reason. I guess he was dancing in the bathroom, and the crazy things he said had little to do with hitting his head. "

"Dancing? Jiemalenko is already an old man, how can he still be addicted to it?"

Liu Yonglu found it hard to imagine an old man with a bath towel wrapped around his waist dancing in his own bathroom.

“I guess dancing is just an aftereffect, as they were initially challenged and questioned academically.

In the process of rebuttal, they all failed without exception, and the huge sense of frustration made them lose their minds. "

“Are they all astronomers?”

Milly Tang grasped the key point. If someone wanted to challenge Moses Sadeh's authority in astronomy in one go, there would be a clue, which could be found among the scholars who had been expelled from the Astronomical Society before.

“That’s what’s strange. Astronomers, mathematicians, and even linguists, in short, these scholars have a variety of backgrounds, but they have only one thing in common, that is, they are all at the top of their respective disciplines.

And within half a month, everyone fell into the abyss of self-doubt and denial. "

"Then Mi Li'er, you should be careful too."

Liu Yonglu suddenly thought that Mi Li'er was also a learned person. If the other party was specifically looking for this kind of people, then Mili Tang would also be in danger.

Gregory knew the identity of Professor Millie Tang, but he did not know it in depth. He looked up at the two of them and continued:
"The impact of this incident is not big at the moment, mainly because it is too bizarre and no one has connected the two things together. There were no signs of violent fighting at the scene, so we just treat it as an accident.

What do you think?

Liu Yonglu waved to Shani and asked him to take out the raw material of the Palace Jade Wine and poured a glass for Sir Gregory.

"Do you think it has something to do with gods? Were there any witnesses at the scene? Did they see anything strange?"

"Two of the housekeepers said that they saw a little girl following the scholars' carriage back that day. She might have been a hitchhiker, but after they got home, the little girl left on her own."

"Little girl? Are you sure you're alone?"

"It was dark at the time, and the housekeeper could only roughly describe her height and figure. Judging from these two points, it was most likely a person."

"Where are the letters? Are there any letters left?"

"Humph, this is also a strange thing...ah."

Gregory drank Liu Yonglu's pure Imperial Jade Wine in one gulp, smacking the taste with relish:

"Opened envelopes were found at the scene. The envelopes were blank, with no writing on them. The envelopes were just ordinary envelopes that you can buy for a few pennies in a grocery store.

But the letters were gone. … In one case I sent Carol to investigate, but he searched the botanist’s house but couldn’t find them.

Carol suspected that the botanist had swallowed the letter before dancing.

"have eaten?"

This scholar is really interesting. Why do they eat paper when they can't figure out something?

"The whole thing has not risen to the level of a special incident. Ms. Peggy went to visit several scholars. She estimated that if he was not stimulated any further, he might be able to regain his sanity after a year or two of rest."

Millie Tang nodded. With the Continental Expo approaching, both the Public Security Bureau and the Investigation Department were short-staffed. Since no casualties were caused, there would be no large-scale investigation.

"I'm just speaking to you casually. You can pay attention to it when you're not busy. I share the same view as you, Ricky. The possibility of a deity at work is quite high, but the other party's motives and behavior are a bit strange.

She seemed to have no intention of harming these scholars; the fact that six people swallowed the letters, danced, and fell into a self-denying madness was just an additional product.

You two, be careful, little girls of four or five years old."

"Okay, let's keep an eye on it."

Liu Yonglu scratched the back of his head. The unknown child and the strange things happening around him all sounded so similar to what happened to Xiaohu back then...

Hehe, I was quite happy yesterday. I celebrated my wife’s birthday with her, won a prize, and the cat also pooped. It was a grand slam.
