Red Moon Returns

The rolling wheels crushed the sunset, and the vendors pushed their carts and walked away from Charles Square in the afterglow of the sunset.

Through the carved glass windows on the second floor of No. 221 Villa Street, a Victorian-style life picture slowly unfolded in front of his eyes.

Looking at the crowd returning home outside the window, Lynch suddenly realized that he was becoming more and more like the people of this world.

From the night of the 13th to the 19th, only six days have passed, but I feel that I have become accustomed to this strange and extraordinary world.

Wearing Victorian-style clothes, traveling between carriages and railroad tracks, using gas equipment and ancient machinery, and contacting nobles, capitalists and workers, the key is that all I think about in my mind are evil gods, aliens and mysterious things that are full of weirdness and danger.

I always feel that I am getting further and further away from the ordinary social life in my hometown. Perhaps this is one of the prices for embarking on the road to immortality.

Sighing, Lynch closed the window, sat down on the sofa, and picked up the most important detective notebook.

Yes, he has finished the surveillance mission and returned home.

The investigation of the city hall yielded nothing. Several targets were not there, and the office door was locked. However, Lynch was not disappointed, because the information obtained from the cooperation with Miss Valente was enough to make up for everything.

As for the grudge of a cup of coffee, it has been recorded. Foolish nobles, I will definitely repay it double in the future.

This is of course just for self-entertainment. In fact, Lynch is in a good mood. With Miss Valente's information, he has basically completed the puzzle.

In order to dig Zulhalazar, the sewer ghouls colluded with Speaker Grant at the cost of providing free labor. The previous man-eating wonder may also be provided by them.

This is probably one of the key points of Duke Wayne's commission. I should have touched the key to the commission. Lynch thought in his heart that as long as he followed the clues and found evidence of Zulhalazar's existence, no, he must further find evidence that Mordiggian's will fragments were sleeping in the depths of Zulhalazar, which should be worthy of the agreed reward, which is the first memory of Ms. Red Moon. As for the second commission from the Count Cat, I am afraid that I need to investigate further, find out Mordiggian's purpose and then destroy it, so that I can get the reward with peace of mind.

These two rewards are not easy to earn, and I have to work hard, but Lynch is not opposed to it, but feels quite comfortable, because...

Lynch put down his notes and picked up a letter that had been opened with wax seal.

The paper of the envelope is very exquisite, with a black background and a few stars on it. The wax seal is an emblem with starlight circling outside the scepter. At a glance, it is clear that this is from the Dark Night Cathedral.

Dear Detective Leviv:

I sincerely invite you to meet at the Dark Night Cathedral at 9 am on the 20th. The agreed items have been approved by the Holy See and will arrive in Rhine City soon. I hope you can join me in receiving the items.

Yours, Trinlais.

Throwing the letter back on the coffee table, Lynch leaned comfortably on the sofa, chuckled, and felt a little more favorable in his heart.

Although these two old guys are cunning, slippery and insidious, and took advantage of the time when they needed help to drag an ordinary person like me into such a troublesome matter, at least they are sincere and it is worth taking risks for them. Besides, it is not just taking risks for them. Rhine City is my new home. Although I can escape from Rhine and live in another city, can I really bear to watch the landlady, the bear child, and the vicious woman fall into danger?

With a self-deprecating smile, Lynch no longer hesitated. He reopened his notebook and recorded the latest clues one by one.

The next step is to wait for Miss Valente's line and learn more about Grant's collusion with the sewer ghouls. Those things seem to be more irritable than the mountain people, and dismantling the carriage is like dismantling toys. It is very dangerous. My life-saving divine power can only be used once for the time being, so I must act carefully.

However, I can't trust Valente's information completely, and I can't relax on the mountain people's side. It's just that I don't know where they are now. If I find their traces, I have to chase them.

Before that, I'd better go to the Dark Night Cathedral to see Trinlais tomorrow, at least to express my gratitude.

While sketching the next action plan in my notebook, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. When Lynch looked up, he saw two bright blondes, one tall and one short, walking up the stairs.

Officer Natalie had already sent little Martha back safely. I saw her when I went home just now, so Lynch was not surprised. However, Mrs. Maggie rarely went upstairs when Lynch was at home, which surprised Lynch a little. He quickly got up and invited Mrs. Maggie into the living room, and found that the two ladies were holding his Ranger's formal uniform.

"It has been cleaned and the few tears have been repaired, Mr. Leviev." Mrs. Maggie smiled softly, "Please try it on."

"Huh? You don't need to try it if it's just been cleaned."

"Ah, you misunderstood. When I was cleaning it, I noticed that some parts of this suit didn't fit you."

"You can see that?"

"Because I used to be a tailor, so I'm more sensitive." The landlady shook out the clothes for Lynch and smiled softly, "Please try it on and I'll make some changes for you tonight. If you don't mind, I'll make some changes to your other clothes. I think your clothes are all ready-made clothes, and they're not as suitable as handmade ones."

"How can I do that?"

Lynch's face was a little hot, and his body was as stiff as a stone. He let Mrs. Maggie put the clothes on him, and then her fingers gently moved around, making his heart beat faster.

"Give me a chance to repay you, Mr. Leviev." The landlady measured his body and lowered her head and whispered, "Martha treated you like that at the time, but you not only didn't care about her, but you were willing to teach her a lesson and let her know what was good and what was bad. This should have been taught to her by me as a mother, but I only knew how to spoil her, which was really unqualified. If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what this child would become in the future. I have been awakened by nightmares these nights, dreaming that she did something terrible. So you may not understand how grateful we are to you."

Lynch's face became redder, and his eyes were erratic. Then he saw little Martha hanging on her mother's legs and sticking out her tongue at him, but her eyes were red and her eyes were softer.

"She just came back and told me that you not only treated her sincerely, but also protected her when she was in danger and didn't let her feel any threat. We really don't know how to repay you, and I won't do anything else. The only thing we can do is to take better care of your life."

"This..."

"You taught Martha to do the right thing. Isn't being grateful the right thing? You can't teach her how to do it but not let her practice it." Mrs. Maggie's eyes revealed a hint of cunning, and she covered her mouth and whispered, "Or do you want us to repay you in another way?"

"Alter the clothes, just alter the clothes." Lin Qi's hair was blown up, and his head seemed to be smoking. He threw down his clothes and turned around and ran downstairs, "I heard the water downstairs was turned on, I'll go check it out."

"Puff." Mrs. Maggie's cheeks were also red, biting her lips and showing a smile, gently hugging her daughter in her arms, the two pretty faces together, making the scenery in the room particularly beautiful.
