Hearing Nightless Sky Yong Lian's words, Lin Yu was not surprised in the slightest. She already knew that Fu Luo had died.
He looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian and spoke just as calmly.
"As expected, what we consider 'the most important' matter is the same thing."
"The question I came to ask you about is also... what exactly happened to him in City That Never Sleeps last week?"
Nightless Sky Yong Lian let out a long sigh when she heard Lin Yu's words.
"Did A Luo indeed meet with misfortune?"
"The fact that you're asking this means that you're investigating the murderer who killed A Luo, correct?"
Lin Yu nodded.
"Yes. To answer your earlier question... Sherlock... was murdered."
"After leaving City That Never Sleeps, he returned to our world, where he was ambushed and killed."
"And the murderer... I have reason to suspect that they're connected to the group of people I'm investigating."
"I was investigating a secret organization hidden among the Otherworlders, and they put a bounty on me because of it—and after they placed that bounty, Sherlock began investigating the organization that had put a bounty on me without my knowledge... Then he was murdered."
As Lin Yu spoke, he clenched his fists. "That's why I need to uncover the truth."
"He was such a brilliant detective in life. I absolutely cannot let his death remain shrouded in mystery."
Hearing this, Nightless Sky Yong Lian fell into thought for a while before speaking again. "You really were very close partners, you and A Luo..."
Lin Yu looked at Nightless Sky Yong Lian. "But forgive my bluntness, Family Head. I didn't know before that Sherlock was... so important to you."
"I didn't expect you to regard matters concerning him as more important than the Fear Project."
