Chapter 86: The Trial of Liu Yonglu (Part )

Liu Yonglu was singing when he saw Token go out. He thought to himself, okay, I have kept Mi Li'er busy long enough, I might as well quit while I am ahead. The Medea in front of him didn't seem to be in a good mental state and he couldn't get anything out of her.

Thinking of this, Liu Yonglu raised his hands and stopped the last syllable.

"Miss Medea, let's stop singing here today. This is not a play for just two people. My throat is smoking."

Medea didn't say anything. She hardly spoke at Ship Manor unless she was rehearsing a play.

Liu Yonglu went to the wine cabinet to drink some water. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Medea following him. He quickly poured a glass and handed it to her.

But Medea did not take the glass of water. She walked straight forward and finally came to the collection cabinet, staring at the red cloth on the shelf inside.

Eh? It's new. I wonder if Medea is a robot vacuum cleaner. How come she automatically goes back to charge after singing?

This strange behavior aroused Liu Yonglu's curiosity. He followed Medea's gaze and looked into the cabinet, and saw that there seemed to be something covered under the red cloth.

This is Liu Yonglu, who is really brave and naive. He also wants to know what is hidden under the cloth.

He was careful and didn't take it directly with his hands. He had a piece of copper rope in his arms. He tied one end of the rope around his wrist and manipulated the rope to pick up the red cloth.

When I picked it up, I saw a volleyball-sized mud ball standing on the stand. The edges of the mud ball were particularly rough, as if something had been deliberately covered with yellowish-brown mud by someone.

When Medea saw the mud ball, her face changed immediately. That expression reminded Liu Yonglu of the famous painting "The Scream" that he had seen before traveling through time. Her entire face looked like it had been torn apart by a Lanzhou ramen chef, and it was completely unrecognizable.

But Medea's reaction also showed that this thing was very important. Liu Yonglu thought that since he was already here, he might as well just take it away.

He was really bad. He took out a melon from the fruit plate next to the wine cabinet and placed it on the shelf. He raised his hand and covered it with the cloth. Someone said that the size and shape were just right.

But what should he do with the mud ball? Liu Yonglu tried to hold it in his arms, but it was too obvious because of its bulging shape, and his pocket was not that big. While thinking of a solution, he fumbled around the room and happened to find the coat rack next to him, and another evil idea came to his mind.

He hung his top hat on it before entering the house. Liu Yonglu put the mud ball on his head, took off his top hat and covered his head with it. Hey, it was just right!

But this also has a side effect. After I hid the mud ball, Medea always stared at my head. Wherever I went, she went. This time she really became a sweeping robot.

After removing the mud ball, Liu Yonglu put on his windbreaker, wrapped his scarf around his neck and prepared to go out.

But as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw four people standing at the door, facing each other and almost bumping into each other.

Liu Yonglu looked at them and saw that three of the four people were familiar to him: Token, Juri, and Patrick. He knew all three. At the end, there was a rich old man who looked very energetic, with his two big eyes shining brightly.

"Mr. Dou, is the show over? Don't be in a hurry to leave. Let me introduce you to some friends."

"Hey, it's getting late. Let's talk about it another day. If we don't leave now, we will miss the steam train."

Liu Yonglu was feeling guilty now, and he noticed that three of the four people looked unfriendly, so he took a step and wanted to leave, but Jiuli would not let him go and blocked Liu Yonglu's way with one step.

Liu Yonglu also knew that Jiuli and he were not on good terms, but now the two sides had basically torn their relations apart. Liu Yonglu was also angry and wanted to spit at him, but after thinking about it, he held back.

The situation is stronger than the people. There are three people on the other side, and we can barely be counted as two people.

So he retreated again.

There was a small coffee table between the piano and the wine cabinet, with five or six single sofas next to it, and the five people sat there.

But they had to sit in a very delicate position. The old man with the gleaming eyes and Jiuli sandwiched Liu Yonglu on the left and right. Token sat directly opposite him, while Patrick, the coward, sat on the side with his head down and didn't say a word.

Before the four people came, they found a study room and discussed everything.

They came in to interrogate this Dou Nival. It goes without saying that Jiuli Wilson was determined to kill Liu Yonglu. Patrick would definitely not dare to talk back as he was alone and weak. Token also had a negative attitude. Although there seemed to be some tacit understanding between this Mr. Dou and Medea, the mass was about to take place, so it would be better to eliminate all unstable factors.

But after the four of them sat down, Token was puzzled. Wasn't Medea still in the rehearsal room? She didn't leave, nor did she sit down. She just stood behind Mr. Bean and stared at the back of his head. He was very confused. Wilson spoke first. He had already discussed with Giuly before coming. They were the two judges. He would be the first. If he couldn't do it, Giuly would take over.

"Mr. Dou, let me introduce myself first. I'm Wilson Hahn. Old Wilson Antiques is my business. We've met from a distance a few times before."

When he introduced himself, Liu Yonglu was shocked. He didn't know he was there when he and Mi Li'er went to the antique shop before. The other party did this intentionally. Maybe they had revealed some flaws in the auction house at that time.

As expected, Wilson stared at Liu Yonglu and continued:
"You came to the antique shop with a companion, and today you came to the Ship's Manor with this companion. Excuse me, sir, where is your companion at this moment?
I don't mean anything else, I just saw your companion's Miskatonic University badge in the antique shop before, and since he is a knowledgeable Miskatonic University professor, I wanted to ask for his advice."

What I said was gentle but firm, and the meaning was very clear. I already know most of your identities, so stop pretending.

Liu Yonglu has been making eye contact with the old man since he started asking questions. If he loses his momentum at this moment, the more questions he gets asked, the more he will talk nonsense, and in the end he will be at the mercy of others.

So he gritted his teeth and didn't show any weakness. He didn't talk back after Wilson asked him the question, but just stared at him.

"Mr. Bean, why are you mute?"

Jiuli was standing next to him and making fun of him.

"How would I know where he got it cut? I'm not his father, he can go wherever he wants!"

Liu Yonglu had no tricks, but he just remembered one thing, he must not lose the image he had established at the dinner! No one would trust a person who is not what he seems, anyway, I'm going to hit you on the nose today, I'm poor and arrogant, let's see what you can do to me.

The four people sitting there were all well-known and upper-class celebrities. They were really dumbfounded by Liu Yonglu's stupid behavior.

"Mr. Bean, I'm afraid you don't know what your companion has done. He just broke into the important area of ​​​​Hipp Manor in private. Do you know how serious this matter is?"

"It's very serious."

Liu Yonglu still has that style. The sky is Liu Da, the earth is Liu Er, and I am Liu Lao San.

"Miskatonic University has been in close contact with the Saint's Sisters recently. Mr. Dou, would you like to tell us what your Christian name is in the Saint's Sisters?"

"Closely, closely."

"You are going to watch the ceremony in Sabine Forest through Patrick. Hum, are you planning to disrupt the ceremony? Or do you have any plans for the summoned gods?"

"It's just a ceremony."

"I will..."

Wilson couldn't ask any more questions. This guy was like a piece of tough meat. No matter what you asked him, he would play tricks on you. How could he ask any more questions?

Why not, if words don’t work, try force, Wilson winked at Giuly.

The next second, there was a noise of piston twisting, and Jiuli had already launched a sneak attack!
