Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 671 Two hundred and forty-eight. Night represents danger

   "Miss Celica, do you need any help?" the restaurant waiter asked politely.

   As cruise ship crew, they take note of first class passengers and most first class passengers.

   Especially this pair is not difficult to identify at all.

   "Prepare one... no, two meals. Milk and juice?" Celica Dallaire uttered every word with a hiss, like the wind blowing through a crevice.

  The waiter had to lean forward to hear what she was saying in the dining room: "Uh...no juice lady, but some milk. Do you need us to deliver you to your suite?"

   "No need, I'm waiting here."

   "Okay, soon lady."

   Food is ready quickly. Celica Dallaire held the plate cover back to the door of the room and gently pushed open the carved wooden door.

   A man is sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace.

   Rare jet-black broken hair, and even rarer eyes that are as mysterious as black gems.

   The black coat he wears is unbuttoned, and the exposed white shirt vaguely outlines the outline of his chest.

   He lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

   The burning fireplace on the back smudges the man's silhouette, as if plated with a warm glow.

   Celica Dallaire couldn't help but stop outside the door, daring not to disturb the oil painting-like scenery.

  Time passed quietly, until a breeze blew into the suite from the hallway, the fireplace flames swayed, and the light and shadow swayed.

   The man in the oil painting was disturbed, and he frowned and looked calmly.

"Land from……"

   Celica Dallaire couldn't help but murmured.

   "What's wrong with Celica." A low and gentle voice sounded, calling out Celica Dallaire's name at the moment, and at the same time awakening her from her slightly drunken beauty.

   "I went to pick up dinner and came back."

   Celica walked into the room, put down the plate, and closed the door.

  The breeze was cut off from the hallway, and the fireplace flame became steady again.

   "I saw that there was milk in the restaurant, so I ordered some." Celica explained, noting Lu Li's gaze towards the milk.

  Lu Li nodded lightly and left the soft sofa: "I'm going to the last class, you stay here."

   "Last class?"

   "Passengers don't know the dangers of the night route." Lu Li replied, rejecting Celica's request to follow. "After eating, ask the crew for some gauze alcohol to treat the wound, or wait for me to come back."

   Carrying the oil lamp, Lu Li left the first class cabin and came to the deck.

  The cold sea breeze blew his hair and the corners of his clothes, and there were only a few sailors on the deck holding oil lamps and crouching their necks to check.

  The rich night surrounds the cruise ship, and there is only the sound of waves and wind outside the surging darkness.

  Luli turned into the cabin, and walked along the narrow corridor to the restaurant pointed by the sign.

  Raislin will also provide dinner for last class passengers. It's usually mashed potatoes or fish cakes, but since it's free, passengers won't miss it.

  The cabin restaurant was full of diners, and people gathered around the round table to chat loudly. The aroma of food and tobacco and alcohol rose up, wafting into smoke around the oil lamps.

   It is more secure here than above.

   Stepping into the restaurant, Lu Li is like breaking into the hustle and bustle.

  Lu Li avoided the diners and walked towards the center of the restaurant.

   "I'm an exorcist, I want to borrow this table temporarily." Lu Li said to the diners, and when they stood up to give way, he stepped on the wooden chair and used the chair to stand on the round table, his head almost touching the canopy.

  The diners in the restaurant saw the noise getting smaller and smaller, and finally quieted down.

   "My name is Lu Li, the exorcist."

  Lu Li calmly looked back at the people who were looking up: "This ship is hiding something: sailing at night may invite weirdness."

There was a humming noise in the cabin restaurant, and before it spread into chaos, Lu Li's voice sounded again: "Although the odds are low, the possibility exists. Just in case, it is recommended that two people stay awake in each cabin. And two light sources, don't stand alone and make noise."

   Then Lu Li reminded them how to deal with evil spirits in another way.

   For example, when you see the appearance of ghost claws, you stamp and beat. There were three intermittent knocks outside the cabin door, inviting those outside the door to enter. When you hear the strange song, close your eyes until the song disappears.

   This way of describing the evil spirit will not cause the Sanity value to decrease, and the principle cannot be understood.

   After talking about all the evil spirits he knew, Lu Li stepped on the wooden chair and walked off the floor when the restaurant was silent.

   His actions alarmed the master of the Raistlin. The captain came to the cabin dining room, surrounded by the first officer and several crew members.

   "You can't do this sir, please go back to your room—" the captain said to Lu Li with an ugly expression.

   He looked around the silent dining room, his face even gloomier.

  If Lu Li was not a first-class passenger, maybe he was facing the captain's anger instead of restraint.

   "Senior investigator Lu Li, I can do this." Lu Li showed the three-eyed black crow badge and said calmly. "Then please tell the first-class and first-class passengers about this next."

  The captain knows this three-eyed black crow badge, which is always carried by those exorcists who are secretive and always go in and out of dangerous places.

His tone softened, but his expression was still ugly, and he lowered his voice to remind: "Lord Lu Li, the controller behind our Fourteen Shipping Company is an earl's family. You broke the rules and affected the business by doing this, which may make The Count is not happy..."

   "Does he know the dangers of the night route?" Lu Li asked.

of course I know.

   thought the captain, but it is impossible to say such a thing.

   "Mr. Exorcist, we can go to the captain's room to talk." He said politely.

   "No need, do you have a pen?"

  The captain didn't know what Lu Li was going to do, but he still wanted a pen and parchment for Lu Li.

  Lu Li wrote his signature on the parchment and gave it to the puzzled captain.

   "When I got to shore, I handed the note to the earl and told him that I bought the Fourteen Shipping Company and asked the merchant for the money. He knew who the merchant was."

  Lu Li has no intention to fight against the crew on behalf of the passengers, which will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble and waste a lot of time.

   And the acquisition saves time and effort.

   After thinking about it, Lu Li added: "If you think your ability is sufficient, the chairman of the company can do it. My request is to cancel the night route, and hand over all the company's profits to the merchants. If you need money, you can also ask them for it."

   The captain bowed his head in a daze, there was nothing on the parchment except his signature. In the past, he definitely thought it was an inferior and uninteresting joke. But...what if it were true?

   This exorcist seems to possess unquestionable magic.

   Adam's apple wriggled, and the captain took the parchment in both hands.

   If this being really has the ability to buy a company, he will go from the captain of a cruise ship to the chairman of a shipping company...

   "Of course...I will go to the count after I land..." The captain's voice was a little dry.

  Lu Li nodded lightly and left the restaurant without stopping.
