Bizarre Detective Agency

  Chapter 372

  woo——

   A whistling sound came from outside the closed window.

  The sailor stood outside the door, and on his carefully raised arm stood a raven the size of a human head. The ordinary raven looked like a child in front of it.

   The eagle-like crow on the mural at the entrance to the investigator base is likely to depict a raven.

   "Is this your pet? Mrs. Wright came back and found it standing on your windowsill."

  Lu Li turned sideways, the intelligent raven spread out its wings with a diameter of nearly one meter, flew into the detective agency and landed on the desk.

   Only this huge body can travel through the storm.

   "Thank you." It's actions already showed its identity, Lu Li and the sailor thanked and closed the door.

  Ana went to the kitchen to find bread, Lu Li walked to the raven, but didn't find the letterbox on its feet.

At this moment, the jet-black raven raised its beak and made a piercing scream: "The stars have returned, the black sun has appeared, and the farmland has fallen! The stars have returned, the black sun has appeared, and the farmland has fallen. The stars have returned--"

  Raven imitates the voice of a human, like a child's cry, with a clear southern accent of the main continent. The investigator's headquarters is over there, and it's clear where it came from.

   "What is the black sun?" Lu Li asked it.

   "The stars have returned, the black sun has appeared, and the farmland has fallen!"

   Such a move is stupid, the raven ignored Lu Li's inquiry, and kept repeating this statement of fear sharply.

   "I see." Lu Li replied.

  The raven stopped the high-decibel noise pollution, and lowered his head to clean up his feathers stained with water droplets.

   "Crows can actually talk..." Anna, holding breadcrumbs, came over in surprise.

  Raven stopped to organize, tilted his head, his dark eyes reflected the approaching phantom figure and the pile of breadcrumbs.

   As Anna put the crumbs on the edge of the desk, the raven lowered his head to eat the food.

   "Crows can imitate human voices, they are very smart, and they are not as weak as pigeons." Lu Li told Anna.

  Raven eats fast, its hard beak pecks on the old desk, leaving white marks as it takes away food.

   Seeing that the raven had finished eating, Anna wanted to go to the kitchen to get some more, but without making a loud cry from the raven, she flapped her wings and flew around, and landed on Lu Li's just raised arm.

   It now goes to the next exorcist to declare.

   "I'll send it out." Lu Li said.

   sent the raven outside, Lu Li returned to the detective agency, closed the door, walked to the desk and picked up the phone.

  The call to Tesla was forwarded to the telephone office, and the staff told Luli that the telephone line in the Belfast area was damaged due to bad weather, and workers could not go to repair it until after the storm.

   Hanging up the phone, Lu Li found the biology illustrated book from the bookshelf behind him and continued to flip through it.

  The hands of the alarm clock turned, the voices of walking and talking from the corridor gradually disappeared, and the residents fell asleep.

   It was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Anna walked out of the kitchen with the dried blanket and spread it on the sofa.

  Lu Li looked up, raised his hand to close the book he was about to finish, walked to the sofa, raised his hand to untie his tie.

  Dried blankets have a warm residual heat, and the toasted wool mixes with the smell of wood-burning smoke, which is comforting.

   After Lu Li lay down, Anna took another blanket and covered Lu Li with her own hands.

   In the past, Anna was absolutely ashamed to do such a thing, but now she is very natural. Anna lowered her head to look at Lu Li, her scarlet pupils conspicuous in the dimness.

"Good night."

   When Lu Li closed his eyes, Anna took her book and sat behind the desk where Lu Li was sitting during the day, quietly flipping through it.

  The longhouse gradually became calm, except for the sound of thunderstorms and whistling from outside.

   In the stormy night, the detective agency was relatively quiet, but this quietness did not last long before it was broken by a knock on the door.

  Knock -- Knock -- Knock --

   The slow, gentle tapping sound was melancholy.

   Lu Li, who was not yet asleep, opened his eyes, looked at Anna, sat up, lifted the blanket and opened the door.

  Squeak-

   A woman in a yellow burlap white dress was standing outside the door, and a little boy was standing in front of her. She looked up at Lu Li and begged in a low voice: "Hello Mr. Lu Li, I'm your neighbor Patricia Murphy, I... May I ask if you have any food to spare? Can you... give us some? I can Eat, but my two kids have been hungry for a day and a half..."

   "Please, Mr. Exorcist, just give us a copy. My sister is still sick." The little boy also raised his head and begged. He looked so thin.

  Lu Li looked at the little boy and his mother, turned his head to Anna who was standing behind the door and said, "Bring some cans."

Soon, Anna brought six cans of canned pork and two cans of canned fruit. She stood behind the door that the mother and son could not see. When Lu Li took it, they only thought that there were other people in the room, and then they were attracted by the small pile. All attention.

   "This is too much..." Patricia Murphy hesitated, while the little boy stared at the can and forgot to speak.

   "These are enough for you to hold out until the storm passes." Lu Li handed it to Patricia Murphy.

   "Thank you...Thank you so much, I really don't know how to thank you...Ike, thank you Mr. Lu Li!" The woman could hardly control her voice, choked her son to thank him.

   "Thank you, Mr. Exorcist." The little boy said quickly.

  The mother and son turned to leave, and the little boy cheered, "It's great, the canned fruit sister will be very happy!", and gradually walked away.

  Lu Li silently closed the door.

   "What's the matter?" Anna felt the change in Lu Li's mood.

   After a moment of silence, Lu Li frowned and looked at Anna: "Remember the story that the fish cares? I found that I couldn't save those fish."

  A huge storm is formed on the sea surface. Compared with the storm, people are so insignificant. The land that throws the fish back into the sea cannot keep the fish alive.

   After all, even he himself had difficulty escaping the beach before the storm.

  Anna of course still remembered that story, her expression became more gentle, and she comforted Lu Li softly: "You did a good job, this is enough, we can't save everyone."

  Although Anna couldn't understand why Lu Li was depressed because he couldn't help others, she found that she liked Lu Li more.

   Compared to staying calm and rational all the time, like a monster without emotions, the smell of humanity that appeared on Lu Li at this time made her even more excited.

  Lu Li quickly regained his calm and returned to the sofa to rest.

   The silence continued for a while, and was broken again at midnight.

   opened the knocked door, Jojo stood outside the door, even though she was wearing a poncho, she was still soaked like a chicken. The rain was meandering from the edge of her shoes.

  Jojo's eye circles are red, and rain and tears are mixed.

   "My brother has an accident!"
