Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 775 Sixty-six. New conspiracy

  The music stopped, and the nobles on the dance floor stopped dancing and looked at the group of uninvited guests and the information they brought in puzzlement.

   "Fake? What are you talking about, Mr. Yenard Matthews." Tour Lange cast a covert glance at Lu Li and frowned.

"The answer is in the mystery." Jenard Matthews looked at Lu Li regretfully: "It's actually quite pleasant to get along with you, except that you don't like to talk. I think you covered it up with silence because you were afraid of being exposed. Own?"

   There were whispers all around.

   Luli's indifference kept them fresh in their memory.

   "I don't know who you are or what your purpose is to pretend to be a vanished exorcist. But now, the conspiracy is revealed and it's over."

  Yenard Matthews is going to let the knights around him take him away.

   "Are you really human?" Lu Li suddenly said at this moment.

   He still had a calm expression that made people feel weird.

   "What are you talking about?" Jenard Matthews raised his eyebrows slightly.

   "Handshake at the town hall party." Immersive black eyes stared at Jenard Matthews. "For some reason, my left hand can hurt weirdly."

   was slightly silent, and Jenard Matthews waved his hand: "Okay, don't use this little trick that will make us look down on you. Sophistry won't work here. Knights, bring—"

  Tour Lange suddenly said indifferently: "Mr. Jenard Matthews, despite your honorable status, if you want to slander my guest and take him directly, have you ignored the Lange family too much?"

   Doing this is more like needing a step. The appearance of the Knights of the Ring is enough to show that Jenard Matthews is probably right.

   But letting the town hall people break into the Lange family gathering and take away their guests would cost them a lot of prestige.

  Tour Lange couldn't let them simply take them away, even if he was right.

"No offense, but I think these knights around the city are enough to prove my identity. You know, the people on the giant tree have always been neutral." Jenard Matthews did not intend to give him steps, his tone became indifferent , tilted his head and commanded: "Take him away."

   "Patriarch..." The butler whispered to Tour Lange.

  Tour Lange shook his head slightly, watching everything that happened gloomily.

  The knights in dark gold armor approached Luli.

   Until they walked in front of them, Lu Li did nothing.

   The increased physical fitness is not enough for Lu Li to fight against a dozen fully armed knights, and they seem to have other secrets.

  The knights did not treat Lu Li rudely. They only put handcuffs with runes engraved on him and a tarp with runes engraved on him, and led him away from the dead gathering hall.

   "The City Hall doesn't want this incident to make too many waves. I hope you can keep silent about the arrest of counterfeiters and don't spread the word."

  Yenard Matthews looked around and started to step back.

   He did not forget to wave goodbye to Tour Lange.

   "Excuse Little Tour, let's continue your party."

  The knights around the city gradually left the meeting hall, and the atmosphere of being suppressed by them gradually eased, but it was limited.

  Tour Lange looked at the disappearing figure outside the door, his face gloomy and almost dripping with water.

  …

  Being shackled to freedom and senses, Lu Li only feels like being taken on a carriage.

   He didn't get a chance to meet Jenard Matthews, maybe he got in another wagon.

When    was taken to an unknown destination, Lu Li in the dark thought quietly.

   Conspiracy? Misunderstand?

   The obvious conclusion at present is: Jenard Matthews reacted to the touch of Lu Li's left hand, maybe his consciousness was contaminated by weirdness, and his state was inclined to aliens. He realized that Lu Li's existence would sabotage their plan, so he slandered Lu Li as a fake.

   Obviously, with his identity and connections, he has more power than Lu Li.

  The Knights around the city only serve the real Kleins University above the giant tree, they are not the same faction as the city hall——

   Divergence within the giant tree?

   Or the giant tree agreed with the city hall.

   and why they would take themselves at parties.

   Lu Li backtracked to what happened last night at Cline's University.

   "You saw Jenard Matthews, is he the same as the rumors!" Pusius raised his head and jumped around Lu Li's legs excitedly.

   "What rumor." Lu Li took off his coat and hung it on the hanger.

   "Uh is... brave, cheerful, friendly, approachable..."

"mostly."

  The description of Jenard Matthews misses the point.

   Dean Lawrence arrived shortly after and told Lu Li about the invitation from the Lange family.

   "Help me reject it."

  Lu Li doesn't want to waste time on meaningless parties.

   He just wanted to find Anna's whereabouts, and the merchant's.

   But Dean Lawrence told him the current political environment in Midnight City: City Hall and the nobles headed by the Lange family are opposed, and the church and the giant tree are neutral.

   "You attended the town hall party. If you refuse the Lange family party, they will mistake you for the town hall faction, which will cause some trouble. If you attend, it means you are still neutral, and you will get some benefits."

   "What good."

"One more friend and one less enemy." Dean Lawrence said, after finding that Lu Li didn't care about this, he added: "The Lange family's intelligence is also keen, if you get along well with them, you will definitely be able to find it faster. The answer you're looking for."

  …

  The carriage stopped.

   Lu Li was taken off the carriage.

   He was erected by two knights, his feet were hanging in the air, no matter how difficult it was to rely on his body to tell the direction, there was only dull footsteps in his ears.

  Lu Li keeps thinking.

   There is no problem with Dean Lawrence, he is more afraid of Lu Li than others. It's fake.

   Used by City Hall as a weapon against the Lange family?

   Eliminate dissent at the expense of an exorcist, would they do it?

  A scene played by the Lange family to throw dirty water on City Hall? As nobles, it doesn't seem surprising that they do this, but the church and the giant tree can't possibly condone them.

   Looking around, it still seems that only Jenard Matthews has the question closest to the answer.

   But it also represents a huge mystery.

  How did Jenard Matthews, who has a questionable identity, persuade City Hall and the giant tree to confirm that Lu Li was fake and directly order the arrest?

   Lu Li's feet suddenly touched the ground.

   He was let down.

   was separated from his thoughts, and there was a heavy sound of stone rubbing in front of him, and then he was taken into the space behind the stone.

  The sound of Shimen rubbing and closing sounded behind him.

   With the complete closure, all sounds disappear.

   Silence surrounded Lu Li, as if he was the only one around.

   After waiting for a few minutes, Lu Li took off the tarpaulin covering him.

   What comes into view is a study with no windows and stone walls on all sides.

   He was imprisoned in this secret room, whether on the ground or underground, inside or outside the city.
