Chapter 23 The reason is not important, the interesting is important
Wells stood outside the house, feeling uneasy.
Not long ago, he received a call from the person he asked for last time, asking him to check on a man named Esder, who was said to be a man next to Lilina Scatter. He had been spying on Lilina for so long. Wells
Naturally, she knew in her heart that there was no man around Lilina.
However, this idea was broken in the bar before. He clearly remembered the man with red pupils. The man almost killed him, but in the end he was able to escape because of the appearance of a woman.
And he also realized that all the spearheads seemed to be focused on the girl Lilina Skater, as if everything was related to Lilina, the death of the Skaters, the disappearance of Christina, the girl named Esde
The mysterious man and the underworld’s investigation into Lilina.
This girl named Lilina has something secret that he doesn't know about. He has considered using his connections to ask Lilina to come to the police station for investigation, but he has no evidence, so even if he invites her to drink tea, he has to
There are suitable reasons. What's more, although the Fat Director will no longer stop him from investigating these matters, it is unrealistic to expect him to help.
Therefore, in the end, he could only choose to come to Lilina's house alone and ask the other party in person. He also knew that he was destined to meet Esther when he came here, but there was nothing he could do about it. Since he wanted to find out these things,
You have to pay some price, so today he is not visiting as a policeman, but as an ordinary person, in order to show his sincerity.
"Oh, Esther said you would come, come in." Lilina sighed as she opened the door and saw Wells standing at the door.
To be honest, she doesn't hate this police officer who has been handling her parents' case, and even has some admiration in her heart. Because of this, Lilina doesn't want him to come here and come into contact with a world that is completely unfamiliar to him.
He also has children and a wife to take care of. Unlike himself, there is no one around him except Esther.
"Thank you, Miss Scutt." Wells said with honorifics. It's better to be careful here.
It can be seen from the outside of the house that this is a mansion. It was only after entering the house that Wells realized that poverty limited his imagination. The Scatters were indeed the most outstanding real estate businessmen in the area. The price of this piece of land was not high in the UK.
It is admirable that such results can be achieved in a market that is not nervous.
After arriving in the living room, Wells saw a familiar figure, a woman lying on the sofa without paying attention to her appearance. He was surprised and said: "Cristina!?"
When she heard someone calling her name, Christina raised her head and glanced lazily at Wells: "What? It turns out it's you. You can find it here. You're hardworking enough. I guess you should know something about it."
.”
"Ah, um." Wells murmured a little because he was too impressed with Christina's treatment here.
"Your hands..." Soon, Wells noticed that there seemed to be something missing on one side of Christina.
"Oh, are you talking about this? Tsk, it was done by a bastard who doesn't understand Lingxiang Xiyu at all." Speaking of one of her arms being chopped off by Esther, Christina's resentment was not small at all, even though it was for the sake of the witch.
It was careless, but she was not the one who benefited in the end, so she could be relieved.
"That's not the reason for you to eat all my ice cream!" Speaking of this was enough to drive Lilina crazy, but she had spent three months of her own pocket money to finally save such a refrigerator.
The gold powder ice cream was actually eaten by Christina in one night!? Is she a pig!?
That’s not a brand name! It’s really sprinkled with gold powder! You can show it off when you take it out!
"Humph, your man cut off my hand, how can I not pay for it!?" Anyway, Esther is not here now, so she can say whatever she wants.
"Oh? Then tell me, what do I need to compensate you? Is it enough to save your life?" At this time, Esther, who was walking down the stairs, happened to hear what Christina said, and he said with a smile.
.
The sincere Christina immediately faced her true nature and said flatteringly: "No, no, no, it's just an arm. I'll just ask my instructor to help me think of a solution when I get back. I don't need you to worry about it, Lord Vampire." Christina is a vampire.
The wording was very harsh, obviously mocking Esther.
It's a pity that Esther doesn't like this.
This made Christina feel like she had been punched in cotton.
"Okay, get out of here." Ested didn't intend to argue with Christina. Perhaps it was because of her pure-blood identity and what the vampires did to her people that Esther's conscience found out? I'm just kidding, he didn't kill indiscriminately.
People, this kind of thing happened in those days
There have been enough in the Holy War. When getting along with Christina, most of them treat each other as ordinary people. Of course, the most important thing is that Christina is good-looking. If it were another big man lying on the sofa and mocking him, well, then the other party would probably be cold.
.
Christina got up from the sofa unhappily and was pushed aside by Esther.
Esther glanced at Wells, who was standing aside, and said to him: "Sit down, there's no point in standing there."
Wells hesitated for a moment, whispered thank you, and sat on the sofa where Christina was rolling around just now.
Est sat casually aside. At this time, Lilina brought tea and some snacks. The configuration was British afternoon tea. Est picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He said as lightly as the tea: "Tell me about your experience."
Come and see."
"Miss Scutt said that Mr. Esther has guessed that I am coming."
Esther's expression didn't change much, "After all, your persistence in the death of Mr. and Mrs. Scott is not comparable to that of ordinary people." He glanced at Wells and continued: "But I am a little surprised, you are.
Already know my name."
"I also have my own network," Wells said.
"Oh?" Esther smiled, put down the teacup, and leaned against the sofa to look at Wells: "Let me guess, first of all, you can't find me from the police file. Then you can directly find me through an individual or a person.
group."
Wells remained silent and did not speak.
"There are only a few people who know my name, so the scope can be narrowed down. First, Lilina and Christina are excluded. After Christina knew my name, I locked her up here. She had no communication tools or other means. She had no choice.
Let me tell you my name, followed by Lilina’s cousin, but she has already gone to Cambridge before. I don’t think you would go to Cambridge specifically to ask the name of someone you don’t even know exists.”
"Then I think the scope can be narrowed down to two people. One of the two people who had dinner with Lilina before revealed my name to you." Esther said.
However, Wells shook his head. Unfortunately, he did not know his gangster friends, nor did he know Albert as a person. From beginning to end, they were in contact by phone.
"Really? I thought I would guess it right." Esther said regretfully, but this did not have much impact on the rest of the conversation.
Wells's expression became serious, "I want you to tell me the truth, the truth about the death of Mr. and Mrs. Scott."
"Give me a reason."
"Does reason matter to you?" Wells asked.
"It's not important." The next moment, Esther showed a smile, "But I think a reason that can make you so persistent will definitely sound interesting."
