Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 327 Two hundred forty-two. She gave too much money

   This coincidence is like a conspiracy.

   "I joined half a month ago." Lu Li answered briefly.

  Petra is also an ordinary investigator, but he has been an investigator for more than two years, and his experience far exceeds that of Lu Li.

   To put it another way, high-ranking investigators can represent competence, as can long-term employment—it means that they live a long time.

  Petra nodded suddenly: "Don't worry, the shadow of the thread is easy to deal with. If you don't mind, we can form a team and solve this ceremony together."

   Lu Li's focus at the moment is on other things: "Are you here to investigate the evil spirit incident?"

   "Of course not. Investigators did not release this incident." Petra shrugged. "I just traveled here, and I happened to hear that a baron was recruiting exorcists. Come and watch the excitement."

   Investigators are mostly full of desire to explore, like moths.

   "Where's the night watchman?"

   "You mean do they have a mission? Of course not, or you've seen that group of unsmiling guys blocking this place."

   Got the answer, Lu Li was silent.

The fact that   Baron Joseph was attacked by an evil spirit was inexplicably disturbing.

   Not the incident itself, but the fact that the two major organizations ignored this evil spirit.

   On the bright side, maybe they thought that the baron of the evil spirit could solve it by himself, so they didn't intervene. On the bad side... The two major organizations had no time to deal with the evil spirits that appeared in Belfast.

  According to Lu Li's knowledge of them, the possibility of the former is minimal.

"excuse me."

  Lu Li got up and said, Petra pushed open the door of the meeting room and walked into the hall under Petra's gaze.

   In the middle of the hall, a man with a strong upper body was smearing animal fat on his body. Baron Joseph huddled lazily on the sofa, watching the performance boredly. The movement at the door of the reception room made her glance sideways, then sat up excitedly, waved her hand and said to the butler, "Give me a tip and send this circus member out like his colleagues."

   Ignoring the stunned exorcist again, Baron Joseph watched Lu Li walk to the sofa with fiery eyes.

   "I want to quit."

   Lu Li's words made Baron Joseph's good mood dissipate instantly, frowning and rejecting: "No, you must stay!"

   The voice fell, and a cold breath that made the hair stand on end spread out from Lu Li's body.

   The exorcist who was being invited out of the mansion by the maid couldn't help but turn his head back, his face was horrified, layers of goose bumps appeared on his naked upper body, and the greatly improved inspiration after applying grease was giving him a warning.

   But how could a human being exude a terrifying aura like a wraith...

   The butler seemed to sense something, pursed his lips and protected the baron behind him, his tone never fluctuating: "Did that Your Excellency say something to you?"

  Lu Li looked at the housekeeper, noncommittal.

   The wise man's conversation was simple, the butler nodded and said, "We haven't signed the power of attorney yet, if you feel inappropriate, of course you can quit—"

"I disagree!"

  Baron Joseph interrupted the housekeeper loudly, the possessiveness in her eyes made her look like a little girl facing her beloved doll.

   The cold aura around Lu Li's body erupted even more violently, the bright hall became dark and dull, and a chilling heart palpitations grew in the bottom of my heart.

   "Anna."

   Lu Li called softly.

   paused for a few seconds, the aura gradually faded, and the hall became bright again visible to the naked eye.

  Lu Li tilted his head slightly and saw a figure disappear behind the half-closed door of the reception room.

  Baron Joseph's face turned pale due to the impact of his breath, but he still refused to admit defeat and raised his head to stare at Lu Li.

The butler roughly realized that the baron was very determined this time, released his biting white lips, and said, "You have seen the sincerity of the baron, we have no intention to hide anything, if you agree to help the baron get out of trouble, we will offer you a generous reward. Give you."

   Lu Li did not respond immediately.

   Taking the initiative to participate in the ritual of evil spirits is never Lu Li's style, but the refuge has not been completely arranged, Lu Li needs money very much, and Baron Joseph is very rich.

   Lu Li turned his head and whispered, "Anna, what do you think?"

   He couldn't choose for Anna.

   A few seconds later, Anna's answer sounded in the void.

   "I'm with you, whoever wants to hurt you will kill me first."

  Lu Li nodded slightly, his eyes fell on the housekeeper: "Unless you meet my conditions."

   "What conditions?"

   Baron Joseph asked first.

   "Fifty thousand shillings remuneration."

  Lu Li deliberately stated a high price, so as to ensure that the baron would have leftovers after counter-offering—

   "Yes! I can give it to you now, Lulu, and prepare fifty thousand shillings for our charming Luli exorcist." Baron Joseph replied anxiously, and even the hoarse voice he had used to disguise disappeared.

   Lu Li frowned.

   He should have asked for more.

   The butler frowned.

   The baron's quick agreement made it difficult for her to negotiate... Forget it, it was only fifty thousand shillings, less than a few blocks a day's rent.

   In any case, the deal between Lu Li and the baron was officially negotiated.

   After completing this commission, Lu Li will be able to fill the vacancy of the deep sea stone at the refuge point, and he will no longer have to search for ways to make money.

  Lu Li returned to the reception room to wait, while the butler resumed the assessment with the baron's impatient look.

  Petra was still sitting in the seat before, as if he had never moved, he nodded to Lu Li and did not ask what happened outside.

   The speed of the external assessment was obviously accelerated. For the next half an hour, exorcists entered the reception room one after another, until a few minutes after the sixth exorcist came in, the banquet in the garden outside the window resumed.

  The selection is over.

   The six people in the reception room were the only ones who found the evil spirits.

   Except for Lu Li.

   They thought that these people would be the solvers of this evil spirit ceremony, but soon the housekeeper arrived and politely said to two of them: "I'm sorry, the number of places for the evil spirit ceremony is limited, we can only add up to four people."

   In order to compensate the two exorcists, the baron's mansion will provide a carriage to send back and give a reward of 2000 shillings.

   Although he felt uncomfortable, no one wanted to offend a nobleman, and the two exorcists left obediently.

   The butler said to the remaining four Lu Li, "Please wait, the baron will come over and tell you about the specific situation."

   She left the reception room briefly. A few minutes later, the two doors of the reception room were pushed open, and the baron walked in surrounded by the butler and the maids, and sat down at the head of the long table.

   She looked around, a little dissatisfied, and said with red lips, "It's too bright here."

The maids behind    scattered, lit the candles in the long table and the silver candlesticks on the stone pillars one after another, and turned off the chandeliers.

  Boom!

   Fire rose from the fireplace.

  The reception room suddenly became like a castle with a mysterious atmosphere.

   The flickering firelight reflected the baron's profile, the red lips curved up, and the lazy hoarse voice overflowed.

   "There is a storytelling atmosphere now."
