Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 357 Two hundred seventy-two. The truth

   Several maids called by the housekeeper were cleaning the basement, and they were all trustworthy and courageous servants who appeared here at this time.

   "Lunch is fried steak and mashed potatoes, what do you need for drinks?"

   "Milk or juice."

   The head maid, who was squatting beside Lu Li, got the answer, and went to ask Petra, "Wine, and another bottle of rum."

   The head maid left the basement, and Lu Li looked at Petra.

   "For Vincent, he loves this wine." Petra's palmless arm pointed to the long black table.

  Sarah hasn't returned to the basement for a while, no surprise, she won't appear here until evening.

   Rare time to rest and think, relatively clean and hygienic environment, and plentiful food—these don’t look too bad.

   If you don't count the three people who were chained to the wall, lost both legs, suffered severe blood loss and suffered abdominal injuries.

   "Will someone come to save us?" The baron stared blankly at her disappearing calf. Her long, slender legs were now ridiculously short.

   Petra sighed: "We're not the protagonists, so we won't."

   And they couldn't save themselves.

  …

["Have you heard... Lola is back, biting like crazy, as if he has no pain, a group of guards in armor couldn't stop him, and finally he was killed by cutting off his head..." "Uh... Who is Laura?" "A servant who serves Miss Sarah." "Miss' servant? My God... is Missy okay?" "A servant was attacked by Laura and ran back to report after being seriously injured. It's alright, Miss."]

  【Bright Garden, Sarah is sitting on a bench, not far from two maids whispering together. Sarah listened quietly, her inner impetuousness emerging like a tide. 】

   [Sara just came back from the dungeon where Laura's body was stored. She used Laura as her servant as an excuse to successfully see Laura's corpse - the wound was ferocious, there was no blood, and the lifeless cyan skin. The captain of the guard was puzzled. He had been on the battlefield as a member of the kingdom's soldiers and had seen countless corpses, and this corpse had obviously been dead for a long time. 】

  【Why is this happening... Where is the problem! Sara was very sure of the materials recorded in the Book of Death, and she memorized it completely and did it according to the requirements. But she only made the dead body move, not resurrected, nor the most important soul. 】

   [The voice of the discussion between the two maids not far away came over again]

  【"It's really scary...Isn't the head of the house going?" "The younger brother of the Viscount is back, they are in the study, and they haven't taken care of it yet."]

  【Uncle Andrew? 】

   [Sarah thinks of Uncle Andrew who brought the Book of the Dead, maybe he knows what's going on! 】

   [Lifting her skirt, Sarah trotted to the mansion. The two maids, who were attracted by the quietness, looked in amazement. Sara didn't pay attention to their gazes and ran up the steps. The etiquette teacher came towards her, and she stood meanly, waiting for Sara to salute her as politely as usual—but Sara just ignored her. 】

  【"Uncle Andrew!" Sara pushed open the door of the Viscount's study, panting and shouting. "Sarah, didn't the etiquette teacher teach you to knock on the door before entering?" The Viscount frowned with impatience on his brows and said, "You came out like this, go back to me—"]

   ["Okay, she's here to find me." Andrew soothed the Viscount's anger, and smiled at Sarah if he had a deep meaning: "Can I chat with Sarah alone?"]

  【"This is my manor, and Sarah is my daughter." Facing his own younger brother, the Viscount still said in a dignified, low voice. 】

  【"I am also a member of the family, Sarah is my niece." Andrew looked at his brother and said. 】

   ["...Don't take too long, I have other things to do with Sarah." After a moment of silence, the Viscount nodded and looked away from Sarah]

  【Click—the door was closed, and the Viscount left the study. Andrew looked at Sarah, and there seemed to be something in his words: "I haven't seen you for a few days, niece, you have changed a lot."]

   [Sarah doesn't care what Andrew found, she stepped forward and asked urgently: "Why is it useless! There is something wrong with the resurrection ceremony of the Book of Death!"]

  【"Is there a problem?" Andrew tilted his head, and under Sarah's gaze, he walked to the balcony and stretched out his arms. Like some kind of inspiration, a beautiful butterfly landed on his fingertips. Andrew had a gentle smile, but his fingertips were clenched, and the butterfly that had no time to leave fluttered its wings a few times in vain, and its beauty withered. 】

   [Next, Sarah saw Andrew wipe off the pollen stained on his fingertips, take out the familiar materials from the small bag in his arms, arrange them, and recite the incantation silently. The surrounding light distorted in an instant and returned to its original state. The butterfly on Andrew's palm woke up again. 】

  【The tattered butterfly that maintains the moment of death, flapping its broken wings and flying into the distance. 】

  【"Where is the problem?" Andrew looked back at her with an undiminished smile. 】

  【Andrew's smile Sarah has seen many times, but for some reason, she suddenly felt that the smile made her very uncomfortable, and the smile seemed to hide countless emotions such as chaos, madness and coldness. 】

  【“It cannot resurrect Adam,” Sarah said. "You did that servant who attacked indiscriminately a few hours ago?" Andrew asked suddenly. 】

  【“Yes.” After a moment’s pause, Sarah admitted her actions. 】

   [Andrew asked Sarah for the Book of the Dead, and Sarah took it with her. Andrew took the ancient book, turned to the last page, and pointed to a sentence in it to show Sarah: Do not use human corpses for experiments. "Because this book of the dead cannot bring people back to life," Andrew said. 】

   [Sara looked at the markings on the line of fingers in disbelief. She had read the Book of Death more than a dozen times, but she never found this text...]

  【"But you clearly told me..."】

["You violated the rules, I will take back the book of death. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." Now Andrew's smile seemed to be mocking again, and he continued: "I heard that you will get married in a few days? I will come to attend then. of."】

   [Andrew turned around and wanted to walk out of the study, but Sarah blocked him and begged him: "Uncle Andrew, can you help me? I just want to resurrect Adam..."]

   [Andrew said with a smile: "No one can resurrect the dead, and neither can I, you--aaaaaaaaaa..."]

   [The words stopped abruptly, and his throat made a gas leaking snort. 】

  【Sarah's dagger completely pierced into Andrew's throat. 】

  【Without pulling out the dagger, Sarah grabbed the other hand of the handkerchief and covered Andrew's throat tightly to prevent blood from falling on the blanket. With cold eyes, she pushed Andrew to the guardrail, and then pushed hard——]

   [The blood-stained dagger was pulled out, and Andrew flipped over the guardrail. 】
