17. Justice is above all else

Anna's reaction was much slower than Lu Li's.

When his palms were pressed behind his waist and he could pull out the flintlock gun at any time, Anna just followed the cold voice and looked.

It was a shadow hiding in the alley on the side of the apartment, somewhat solid in the darkness.

Lu Li looked at the translucent figure: "Are you the ghost the client said?"

"Yes, it's me, sir..."

The ghost then moved a little and replied with some fear.

The ghost's hair was disheveled, his skin showed a series of blue and purple scars, and one of his calves was twisted outwards to appear inward. The purple tight dress on his body was severely damaged, and it was wet and stuck to his body, with water dripping downwards.

Everything remains at the moment before death.

"I'm Lu Li."

The word "adult" sounds a little strange.

The ghost with a somewhat frightened expression trembled, and a color of hope flashed in his eyes: "Da... what does Master Lu Li mean...?"

"Tell me what happened." Lu Li paused for a moment as he looked at the scars on her face. "Or I can guess it myself."

Just from the appearance of the ghost, Lu Li could guess that there was a hidden meaning in this matter.

"Oh...ok." The ghost nodded, memories appeared on his pale cheeks, and he said slowly: "I am a...waiter at the Phantom Bar."

Most girls will subconsciously stay away from smoky places like bars, especially rum streets. Ghost is one of them, but most girls from lower-class backgrounds can't get better jobs, just like her. Although the bar is chaotic,

The high wages there are exactly what most people need.

So this innocent girl plunged headlong into the adult dye vat world, like a boat in a storm, struggling to withstand the wind and rain of the outside world.

It was peaceful at first, and nothing happened. Although the drunkards who came to the bar to drink were rude and loud, and liked to tease the waiters, that was all. Compared with them, the women sitting in the corner were wearing scantily clad clothes and heavy makeup.

More palatable to drunkards and cheaper.

This is also the norm in most bars. The owners don't like customers to cause trouble. Moreover, the owner of the bar where the girl works is a cold-faced and warm-hearted guy.

She was attacked on her way home.

The ghost became choked and found it difficult to continue speaking. Her tragic situation at this time showed the result. She was dragged into the alley to vent her animal desires. After venting their desires, the strong man and others lost their animalistic nature and drunkenness. They realized what they had done and regrets flooded over them.

Take it personally - this is of course impossible.

They recognized the girl and knew that she was an employee of "Red Eye". In order to avoid trouble from the police station and Red Eye, they simply took the girl to the beach in the middle of the night, ignored her cries for mercy, tied her with rocks, and threw her into the sea.

.

Her leg was broken at that time.

Her desire to live and her resentment turned her into a ghost. She found those who killed her, but... her revenge failed.

Although she is a ghost, she is not strong enough. She can do nothing except frighten the gangster in the skirt. Especially after they are on guard and plan to find an exorcist to solve the problem.

So Lu Li arrived, and she hid in the distance and peeped. After Lu Li left the apartment, she couldn't help but question, asking why he helped those bastards.

Her aura is very weak, even weaker than Anna who has not become stronger.

People who are weak at heart will naturally not have great resentment.

"What a bastard!"

Anna gritted her teeth and couldn't help but cursed.

Lu Li didn't say anything and asked about other things: "They said you won't come out during the day."

"I will hide during the day..." the ghost replied weakly.

Lu Li looked at her: "You are too soft-hearted. I can't see any resentment in you... Do you really want to take revenge?"

The ghost's lips moved slightly, but said nothing.

She lowered her head until Lu Li walked to the alley, pulled out his flintlock gun, and felt a shuddering breath on her forehead.

No one would come to the pub to get drunk during the day, especially when it was raining. This made it difficult for there to be many pedestrians on the street to notice what was happening in the alley this time.

"I'm still...a little unwilling to accept it."

Just as Lu Li was about to take action, a faint murmur of gnats sounded out.

At the same time as the sound sounded, the flintlock gun on his forehead suddenly withdrew, and the man with black eyes said calmly as always: "I remembered that we still have something to do, should we deal with it first."

She raised her head in surprise and saw Lu Li turning his head and asking about another pretty ghost lady beside him.

"What's the matter?" Anna asked subconsciously. Her eyes went back and forth between Lu Li and the girl several times. She suddenly realized and knocked her head: "Oh, yes, I want to provoke him, so let's go quickly!"

"Then let her stay here for now and come back after we finish handling other matters." After buckling his holster, Lu Li walked past Anna and walked away.

"Yeah." Anna drifted and followed, her figure gradually fading.

The ghost stared blankly at Lu Li and the disappearing silhouette, bit his lip, buried his head, and his body trembled slightly.

"Thank you... thank you..."

When he lifted it up again, tears were streaming down his face.



"Didn't you just say that rules are..."

Anna's curious voice sounded in Lu Li's ears.

"Everything is not black and white. The more base numbers there are, the greater the chance of outliers." Lu Li tilted his head and showed a profile. "I happen to be the one who believes in justice."

"Won't she harm innocent people?" Anna frowned slightly. She agreed with Lu Li's behavior, but she always felt that there would be some hidden dangers if there were no restrictions.

"Do you remember Misseliya? She is the same." Lu Li just replied.

No matter what, Lu Li will continue to pay attention to the situation here. If the girl loses control, he will step in to solve it. If the girl fails, Lu Li will solve it in his own way.

For example, call the police.

When I returned to the detective agency, the phone on the desk was buzzing.

The caller is Deputy Sheriff of Watchtown Police Department, Valentine.

There is news about what Lu Li asked him to pay attention to.



Watchtown, Tuna District.

In front of a single-family house, Lu Li knocked on the door.

Some movement was heard through the door, but no one came to open the door.

After waiting for dozens of seconds, Lu Li knocked on the door again.

Wow——

The messy noise made Lu Li frown slightly, followed closely by a stern shout from behind the door.

"Is-is it you!"

Lu Li said: "I am a detective from the Watchtown Police Station. I would like to know something about your wife's disappearance."

The sound of footsteps approaching from far away, the peephole on the door dimmed, and then the door was opened.

The pupils were bloodshot and the circles under his eyes were black, as if he had not rested for a long time. The young man was standing at the door with a wooden stick in his hand. The smell of disinfectant filled the door next to him.

He shouted in fear: "No... no! Don't care about this anymore. Don't let her come back. Please... let her leave!"

Lu Li and Anna looked at each other.

Things have changed.
