Chapter 160: Report

The reason Charlie was stunned was because he remembered that Xia Er had reminded him in the morning that he might encounter some bad things recently, and in the afternoon he lost the job opportunity he was looking forward to, and wasted several Jin Bang on treating people to drinks in vain.

This put more pressure on him, who was already not well-off.

Looking at Xia Er's smiling expression, Charlie lowered his voice unconsciously:

"Can you divine?"

The divination seems to be quite accurate!

"Didn't I tell you? I guessed it." Lu Mi said lies without stuttering at all.

Of course, this was not entirely a lie, it's just that he made the guess based on the fortune he sensed, just like knowing the correct answer when doing a problem and then compiling the process.

Charlie looked incredulous, but didn't question it. He asked rather expectantly:

"Is my bad luck gone now?"

Lu Mi turned his head, concentrated his spirit, and his eyes became a little deeper.

His expression gradually became solemn, more and more serious.

Seeing Xia Er's reaction, Charlie's heart suddenly jumped, and he was so nervous that his mouth was dry:

"W-what's wrong?"

Lu Mi pursed his lips and said:

"You will have a disaster recently."

Charlie's expression collapsed, his face turned blue and white, no longer the ruddiness just now.

Lu Mi laughed:

"Just kidding, although you won't have any good luck recently, you won't be too unlucky either."

This indicated that even if Su Su Shanna Ma Ma Disi's problem had not been completely solved, it would not erupt for a while.

Charlie didn't quite believe Lu Mi's words:

"Really?"

"Fake! Anyway, believe it if you want to believe it, I have no opinion if you don't want to believe it." Lu Mi ordered a glass of absinthe and smiled indifferently.

This attitude of his instead made Charlie breathe a sigh of relief. He sat on the high stool next to him and took a sip of rye beer:

"I thought it was, it was that matter that hadn't really ended."

That's not impossible... Lu Mi didn't try to scare Charlie again.

Charlie looked at the bar in front of him and said:

"Do you know? Just a second ago, I wanted to be the lowest-level handyman and move out of the Market District immediately."

Lu Mi glanced at him:

"If something really happens, you won't be able to escape no matter where you move."

Charlie's face immediately showed a bitter look that could not be concealed.

Lu Mi then added:

"You might as well go to the nearest 'Eternal Blazing Sun' church more often and pray more.

"By the way, I had dinner with the landlord Mr. Ev today, and when we talked about room 504, he acted a bit strange, as if he knew the whereabouts of the tenant before you, but refused to say it."

Charlie was stunned for a few seconds before understanding what Xia Er was referring to.

He lowered his voice again:

"The, the one who posted that woman's portrait?"

Lu Mi nodded slowly but surely.

Charlie was silent for a while, and muttered to himself:

"That woman's matter is related to Mr. Ev? He knows that portrait is problematic?

"I, I have to tell this matter to, to those people, I will go to the nearest church at dawn and tell the priest..."

Not bad, after my few days of teaching, he is much smarter than that Lu Yi Si of the Savar Party, he can understand my hints at once... Lu Mi picked up the wine glass with satisfaction and drank the green liquid with excellent visual effects.

He had no understanding of the specific situation of the Old Pigeon Cage Theater, and didn't know how serious the problem was and to what extent. If he wanted to investigate by himself, he wouldn't be able to gather enough useful intelligence without a week or two, and even if he gathered it, he might not have the ability to deal with it. Therefore, it was better to find a way to remind the official side from the beginning and let them follow up.

After Charlie made up his mind, he glanced at Paval Paval Nisen who was mixing drinks, and seeing that he didn't notice this side, he asked Lu Mi in a low voice:

"If they ask me where I heard the news, how should I answer?"

"Just say you heard it when chatting with me." Lu Mi said frankly.

Thanks to Charlie's previous "propaganda", the police in the Honest Market District should all know that the "Golden Chicken Hotel" had become the territory of Xia Er of the Savar Party, so it was a natural development for Xia Er and the landlord Mr. Ev to meet, eat, and chat.

By then, the official Beyonders would find out that this was a very normal thing after asking casually, and wouldn't suspect Lu Mi.

"Good." Charlie was obviously much more relaxed.

Lu Mi took another sip of "Green Fairy" and turned to ask:

"Which leaders of the Poison Sting Gang have you heard of?"

Charlie had said before that whether it was the Savar Party, the Poison Sting Gang, or several other smaller gangs, the leaders all had a certain reputation in the Honest Market District, which could be used to scare children.

"What do you want to do?" Charlie's expression became excited instantly.

"Find them to ask about something." Lu Mi chose the most elegant and polite way of saying it.

Charlie felt slightly disappointed because he couldn't see the excitement:

"Except for Ma Ge, I only know two, one is 'Hammer' Aite, he was originally on the Honest Market side, and has often come to Chaotic Street in the past few days, one is called Haman, no nickname, I saw Ma Ge walking with him several times, and he was very respectful to him, well, he is a bald head.

"The boss of the Poison Sting Gang is a person called 'Black Scorpion' Roger, who seems to live somewhere on Market Avenue..."

Being able to make Ma Ge respectful, that Haman should be higher than Ma Ge in both the status of the Poison Sting Gang and his own strength... "Hammer" Aite took over the Mill Dance Hall and the territory of Chaotic Street, so he runs here from time to time? Lu Mi analyzed a little and set his target on "Hammer" Aite.

He planned to wait for this gang leader for a few days to figure out his behavioral patterns and daily performance. If he couldn't find Wilson later, he would consider taking him as the target.

After drinking the absinthe, Lu Mi and Charlie returned upstairs together.

Before they got close to room 207, he saw a wooden box placed on the ground at the door, with a Savar Party logo drawn on the lid with a black marker:

"A bullet and a short knife."

Materials sent by Lu Yi Si? Lu Mi bent down to pick up the wooden box, opened the door, and entered the room.

After he opened the lid, he saw a dark stone emitting a bird-dung smell and a pair of blood-colored eyeballs and a poison sac contained in a glass jar, which was no surprise.

…………

Market Avenue, under the light of yellowish gas street lamps.

Mr. Ev, the landlord of the "Golden Chicken Hotel", led a person to a homeless man who was sleeping with his eyes closed.

"My silver coin is right here!" he said in a deep voice.

The person following him looked at the homeless man in the dark and asked:

"Did he rob you?"

"No." Ev answered very firmly, "Regardless of height, body shape, or clothes, they are all different."

"A robber threw the money he robbed directly to a homeless man... This matter indeed has some problems." The person standing at the edge of the street lamp light nodded imperceptibly, "We have to be prepared to deal with accidents or investigations."

Ev said "Hmm", and muttered low:

"If he hadn't thrown my silver coin to the homeless man, we could have found him directly."

He could sense where money and property that once belonged to him were within a certain period of time.

…………

The next morning, Lu Mi stayed in the "Golden Chicken Hotel" and flipped through Aurora's witchcraft notes.

This was because he had to wait and track "Hammer" Aite and others for a long time later, and they always appeared in the afternoon and didn't return home until the early morning, so he had to change his study time to the morning.

Charlie went to the nearest "Eternal Blazing Sun" church early in the morning. When he came back, he was not only relaxed in state but also had a smile on his face, as if he had found support and had been praised.

Just before noon, Lu Mi hid the witchcraft notes and walked to Market Avenue like a stroll, standing in a place not far from Mr. Ev's apartment and the Old Pigeon Cage Theater, wanting to see if the official Beyonders had taken any action.

Everything here was as usual, people coming and going, whether it was the shops by the street or the passing carriages, none of them revealed any signs of what had happened.

Lu Mi observed for a while, and just as he was about to find a restaurant nearby to fill his stomach, he saw Mr. Ev appear in the distance.

He was still wearing that white-washed formal suit and chestnut tweed trousers, wearing a grayish wide-brimmed round hat, holding a black cane, and walking step by step toward the apartment where he lived.

The official Beyonders haven't appeared yet? Lu Mi thought for a while, crossed Market Avenue, and greeted the landlord.

"Good noon, Mr. Ev, where have you been?" he greeted with a smile.

Mr. Ev was stunned for a second, looked at him vigilantly and fearfully and said:

"I went to the police station to deal with some things."

The official Beyonders summoned Mr. Ev through the police station, but the person actually responsible for questioning was someone with corresponding abilities? Lu Mi roughly understood why.

But what puzzled him was:

The official side didn't even discover that Mr. Ev possessed Beyonder abilities?

Lu Mi nodded lightly and said with a smile:

"What things? Maybe I can help."

"No need." Mr. Ev answered cautiously and resistantly.

He then pointed to the beige apartment:

"I have to go home."

In order not to arouse suspicion, Lu Mi didn't try to stop him, nor did he make more tests.

While watching Mr. Ev's back walk away step by step, he frowned slightly.

Recalling the conversation just now, he didn't find anything suspicious, but felt that some details were strange, with an indescribable feeling.

Lu Mi subconsciously concentrated his spirit, looked at Mr. Ev's back, and tried to sense his fortune recently.

That fortune was relatively normal, neither good nor bad.

But the doubt in Lu Mi's heart did not decrease but increased.

When he had dinner with Mr. Ev yesterday, he had habitually sensed the other party's fortune,

It was clearly a bit unlucky!

It's only been a day, and his fortune has changed. What happened in between? Lu Mi turned his body, put his hands in his pockets, and walked on Market Avenue like a stroll.
