12. Clue Interruption and New Clues

Brian, whose full name is Ada Brian, lives at Gate 6, No. 308, Huayu Street, Shouwang Town, female.

Yes, female. O'Connor occupies a female body.

Whether this was O'Connor's choice or Richard's bad taste is unknown. In any case, Brian was a poor woman who suffered this disaster.

"Although the victim is very pitiful, I think the victim's husband is also very pitiful..." Anna muttered softly.

The carriage has arrived at Huayu Street and has just passed No. 300 Huayu Street, where there is a ceramics shop.

No. 308 Huayu Street is a longhouse, similar to the longhouse on Sailor Street, but more simple. The dilapidated wooden walls are thin and cannot block rainwater. Rainy days and winters may be difficult for people living here.

The carriage stopped, Lu Li got out of the carriage, and accompanied by Anna, walked into the main entrance of the long house.

The corridor is quiet, and the gas lamps on the walls cast a dim light.

Knock knock knock——

Standing in front of Door 6, Lu Li raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door, and the knocking sound echoed.

Click——

The door rang, but it wasn't the one in front of me.

An old man who was carrying garbage and ready to take it out walked out of the door behind him and said casually: "Little Ada is not here, do you have anything to do with her?"

An unpleasant smell spread from the room behind her into the corridor, the smell seemed to be that of something rotting.

Lu Li turned around and asked, "I'm a detective and I want to find out something from her. Do you know where she is?"

The old man looked at Lu Li with his cloudy eyes. Those eyes gave Lu Li an awkward and strange feeling.

Confirming that Lu Li didn't look like a bad guy, the old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. She left just now and took a lot of things. Maybe she went to Belfast. You can try to find her there."

"Okay, thank you." He thanked him politely and watched the old man slowly walk towards the corridor. Lu Li paused for a moment behind the old man's open door, then moved away and said to the empty space around him, "Go in and take a look."

Anna revealed her figure and responded, floating behind the door. After a moment, she came out and shook her head regretfully: "There is no one inside."

"We're late." Lu Li frowned.

O'Connor's hasty departure was too coincidental. It could almost be judged that O'Connor knew that Lu Li had dealt with Hall, and then packed up his things and ran away.

As for how O'Connor knew... Lu Li didn't know.

"What to do next? Where to look for it?" The clue was suddenly interrupted, and Anna was a little annoyed. "I knew I would have kept Hall for the time being."

Lu Li could not keep Hall, even if he knew the truth. This had nothing to do with what he did. Lu Li was not someone who would place his safety on other things, even an ordinary ghost.

Besides, Hall was not ordinary, and the red eyes appearing on his body were enough to make Lu Li wary and fearful.

"Go back first."

Lu Li said calmly, turned and left the corridor.

Back on the carriage, the fallen curtains blocked the hustle and bustle on the street. In the small and quiet space, only the soft sound of raindrops falling on the roof of the carriage and Anna's blinking eyes beside her were left.

Anna felt that Lu Li had other ideas, because there was no movement in his black gem-like eyes, as silent as dead water.

Of course Lu Li had other ideas, but the hidden dangers were huge: he only needed to tell the night watchmen about Richard's plot, and they would help Lu Li find Richard.

But then problems will arise. It is troublesome to contact Richard in the first place. Joel's easy talk and appreciation of Lu Li are only based on him personally. It is unlikely that the Night Watch force will allow Lu Li to approach Richard. And it is reasonable to

Chad will almost definitely leak the fact that Lu Li has touched the door. Before he knows what the "door" is, this will make Lu Li passive.

Lu Li reached out from under the car curtain and waved the reins. The obedient horse stepped forward slowly on the wet bluestone road.

The roof of the car blocked most of the drizzle, and some raindrops rushed towards the face, bringing a slight chill.

Lu Li's black eyes slightly lost focus and continued his previous thoughts.

In addition to this, he also has an alternative plan: joining the Night's Watch or the Demon Slayer organization.

By joining these two organizations, Lu Li can use the resources to find Richard. But the disadvantages are also obvious: the former works for the Principality of Ellen Peninsula or above and has an official background. The situation of joining them is almost conceivable: freedom is restricted and militarization

Management. The Demon Slayer organization looks slightly better on the surface, because Lu Li’s prerequisite for becoming a Demon Slayer, “Solving a Wraith Spirit”, can be regarded as completed – Misheliya was indirectly solved by Lu Li. She is a Wraith Spirit.

Lu Li is barely qualified to join the Demon Slayer.

But the problem also arises. The Demon Slayer Organization is a secret organization and will rarely appear in the public eye. Lu Li doesn't know how to contact them. Maybe it is a good idea to publicize his reputation and wait for the Demon Slayer Organization to find him, but Lu Li is very worried.

It’s clear that you can’t really solve a resentful spirit by yourself.

Although he has no interest in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Lu Li does not want to see a reputation that exceeds his strength.

That means trouble. Maybe from the same kind, maybe from weirdness.

In the car, Anna held her chin up and leaned against the car window to look at the street scenery.

The raindrops falling into the carriage passed through her transparent soul, and the breeze could not blow away a strand of hair.

Anna's tranquility did not last long. There was a sound of "Xi Lv Lv" from the front, and the carriage stopped.

Puzzled, he turned his head and saw Lu Li talking to himself: "She just talked about you."

"What?"

Lu Li turned his head and looked at Anna: "The old man who lives opposite O'Connor told me 'you'."

"That's right, didn't we go together?" Anna still didn't understand what Lu Li meant.

"How could she see you?"

"Of course...Eh!?" Anna's clear eyes gradually widened, and she finally realized something.

On the streets of Shouwang Town, a carriage made a U-turn on the cold and empty street and drove back the way it came.



No. 308, Huayu Street.

A slender figure walked into the corridor of the long house.

The corridor is as quiet as ever, and occasionally you can hear the voices of other residents behind the thin walls.

When they arrived at Gate 6, the door opposite it was open, just as it was when they left.

The rotten smell lingered at the door. I stood in front of the door and quietly looked at the space behind the door. The room was covered with a layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

The old man didn't come back and the room didn't look like it had been occupied, which intensified Lu Li's speculation.

"Ask the neighbors who lives here." Lu Li tilted his head and said.

"Eh? Me?"

"I."

Lu Li, who remembered that Anna was a ghost, ordered himself, turned around and walked to other rooms.

Ten minutes later, within gate 12.

"The last tenant on door 12 opposite door 6 was a month and a half ago, and the last resident was a middle-aged man. There are no elderly people living in the entire longhouse."

Lu Li stood behind the door and quietly recounted what had happened.

This information almost certainly confirms that the old man is O'Connor.

Anna pursed her lips: "It's a pity that he ran away and the clue was lost again..."

Lu Li shook his head slightly and looked around with his dark eyes.

"No, Brian gave us the clue."
