The sound of dripping echoed in the leaden gray hall.
There are wooden barrels collecting water under each window, and the sound of water dripping can be heard one after another.
In the dark corner of the rest area, Tesla was holding a bottle of wine, leaning against the counter and talking to alliance staff.
Tesla turned around, leaned on the counter and said nonchalantly: "Even if it is decorated like a noble mansion, there will be no investigators staying here, and the two words "some" and "too much" conflict."
"I'm just expressing my opinion tactfully." The alliance personnel gave up trying to persuade these casual and lazy investigators, and their eyes fell behind Tesla.
"Someone is looking for you."
A figure appeared outside the pipeline passage and walked towards the rest area.
Thinking of something, he said to the alliance staff: "Prepare another glass of milk."
"Milk is not good for sobering up."
"Not for me to drink."
Lu Li sat down at the edge dining table. Tesla walked over to sit opposite him and asked casually: "Are you ready for the rainy season?"
"Um."
There is still food left to buy. Lu Li will go back later to buy some shelf-stable food and canned food, which will be needed sooner or later.
The air surrounding Tesla arrived belatedly, with a hint of alcohol flowing over the table, and was captured by Lu Li.
"Are you drinking?"
Tesla raised the wine bottle from under the dining table, and the clear liquid inside was sloshing: "I just realized it? I've been holding it for a while."
Lu Li replied: "Before you smell the alcohol, it might be filled with something else."
"A very professional exorcist's thinking, you are already an excellent investigator." Tesla smiled and praised, then sighed softly. "It's just that I lost another friend, which makes me a little sad."
"Thomas?"
"Well. Apart from some aristocratic shortcomings, this guy is still a very good person." Putting down his arms, Thomas reminded Lu Li: "I already know the cause of his death. Don't learn from it. Whenever you face those weird things,
Don’t be careless.”
"I know."
So it was Thomas who died instead of the two investigators.
"So why did you come here just after the incident and want to ask some questions? By the way. The next person on duty... let me think about it... I remembered it, it's Rachel. So if you have any questions in the next three weeks, you can
Hit me at home."
"I'll submit the incident."
"The incident at 33 Elm Street?"
"Um."
"The judgment team hasn't arrived yet, you can wait... I remembered, they were really worried about that incident." Tesla thought of something and closed his mouth, then changed his words and said, "You can tell me, as Bell
As the head of Fast Regional, I have the authority to temporarily serve as the judgment team."
Lu Li looked at him quietly: "I can wait for them."
Tesla suddenly leaned forward, his brown eyes that were a little blurry due to being tipsy suddenly became clear and sharp, and he showed a sly smile like a hunter: "Don't worry, I'm not drunk, it's filled with lemon juice.
Just mixed with some wine."
Lu Li said nothing, waiting for Tesla to continue speaking.
He continued to whisper: "Someone wants to deal with me, and I don't know who it is, so I have to help the other party "create" a condition for him to do it."
After finishing speaking, Tesla sat back in the chair, regained his drunken appearance, casually unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, tilted his head and said to the alliance personnel who brought the milk: "Bring paper and pen."
The alliance personnel left briefly, and then brought several quills, notebooks and a bottle of ink to Tesla.
"Quill pen?" Tesla looked at the things on the table and was slightly stunned.
The alliance staff said helplessly: "That guy Tristan accidentally sat on the box containing the pens while doing weightlifting, and they are all useless."
"I think that was last week, right?"
"Tristan said he would buy a box of pens soon."
"Okay." Tesla shrugged and said to Lu Li: "Many nobles have the habit of using quill pens, which is called a noble tradition - but when no one is around, they will secretly use fountain pens that are convenient and trouble-free."
"The quill is fine, too." Lu Li reached for the quill.
It’s just that the written words will be uglier.
"This is not for you." Tesla picked up the quill one step faster than Lu Li, opened a blank notebook page and said, "You tell me, I'll write."
Alliance personnel have returned behind the counter.
Lu Li asked: "Is it okay?"
"Of course, the incident investigator organization that will not pollute the sanity does not mind spreading. I want to hear why Thomas died."
Lu Li paused for a few seconds, thinking about where to start, and then calmly told: "In order to make money, I went out to look for weirdness in the rain of weirdness. For some reason, I approached Elm Street——"
Entering the cafe, discovering the problem and rescuing people, summoning the black crow to contact the investigators, and then the night watchman came, blocked the street, and investigated the source of the pollutants.
Lu Li asked for a quill pen and a few pages of paper, and while he was talking about these things, he was writing them down. When the merchant showed up, he handed them over directly, saving him the time of describing them to the merchant again.
After confirming the source, Thomas appeared and went into 33 Elm Street with him to explore. The final result was that Thomas opened the ancient book and was killed by the suddenly awakened clothes.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Li started talking about what happened after leaving Elm Street. When Lu Li mentioned calling Petra's friend to ask about her hobby and getting an answer, Tesla stopped holding the quill in his hand.
"That guy's death...is really pointless."
Putting the quill aside, Lu Li waited for the ink on the paper to dry without responding to Tesla's emotion.
Tesla turned and said: "So are you going to send a bouquet of flowers to the unlucky Thomas?"
"when."
"The news of his death should not have reached his daughter yet. It may be three days or seven days later. I will let you know then."
After a brief silence, Lu Li nodded and said, "I will consider it."
Tesla seemed to know what Lu Li was thinking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, his daughter doesn't have a good relationship with him, so you won't get entangled with her."
"Call me when the time comes."
"Um."
Lu Li picked up the milk and drank it in one gulp, said goodbye to Tesla and turned to leave.
Seeing Lu Li walking towards the pipeline passage, Tesla, who had not been drinking, suddenly shouted to his back: "I suddenly feel that you are right."
"What." Lu Li looked back.
"nothing."
Lu Li was still looking at him.
Tesla thought for a while and said to Lu Li: "You will understand what I am referring to after reading tomorrow's "Investigator Weekly"."
