Detective Story Time

Although he was certain from the beginning that Fu Luo hadn't done anything excessive, Lin Yu was still somewhat shocked when the correct answer was revealed.

Fu Luo, so your way of pleasing the head of the Nevernight Clan is by telling him stories?

Moreover, it seems they're simply copying the stories of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Pollo onto themselves...

Dude, your ID is "Sherlock," do you really think you're one of them?

And the Family Head, at first glance, looks like little girl, but her conversation with Nightless Sky Huo Le just now made her seem very mature.

Looking at it now, it seems that some aspects of her as little girl have been retained?

Despite having a lot of complaints in his heart, Lin Yu still honestly began to tell the story.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel fortunate...

"Luckily, I've also read Agatha Christie's 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles' and remember the general plot."

Lin Yu cleared his throat, sat down, and began to tell the story of the novel to the Nightless Sky Family Head in Fu Luo's tone.

The Nightless Sky Family Head sat quietly in Lin Yu's lap, listening intently to the story he was telling, occasionally making sounds like "Oh--".

Since "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" was Agatha's debut novel, its story structure was relatively simple, and Lin Yu quickly finished telling the whole story.

"So that's how it is. It was a method of poisoning beforehand... Not too clever, but it's still quite clever."

After listening to Lin Yu's story, the Nightless Sky Family Head commented with sudden realization.

After the Nightless Sky Family Head finished speaking, he jumped out of Lin Yu's arms. "Overall, I think your case this time, in terms of complexity and novelty, can only be described as above average."

Lin Yu looked at the Nightless Sky Family Head and smiled, saying, "Indeed, this isn't a particularly special case..."

The Nightless Sky Family Head before us must have plotted many assassinations...

Techniques found in early detective novels like "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" might not have been particularly novel or exciting for her.

Lin Yu rested his chin on his hand and looked at the Nightless Sky Family Head: "How about I tell you another one?"

"Of course!"

The Nightless Sky Family Head raised his hands, laughing merrily, and then sat down opposite Lin Yu again.

Lin Yu cleared his throat.

Judging from the fact that the Nightless Sky Family Head previously mentioned that his "assistant" had changed from Watson to Hastings, it seems that what Sherlock was telling before was a story from the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and now it should be Pollo's turn.

Moreover, considering that the Mysterious Affair at Styles is the first book in the series, Lin Yu couldn't help but speculate that this should be the first story about Pollo told by Fu Luo.

Therefore, if what follows is about Pollo, it's highly likely that the Nightless Sky Family Head has never heard of him.

As for the fact that Fu Luo would have one less story to tell after Lin Yu told it, that was not within Lin Yu's consideration.

Lin Yu pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a new plan.

"The case I'm about to tell you is the story of a serial killer who deliberately provoked me. This is a serial killer who murdered people in alphabetical order by their last name..."

As Lin Yu spoke, he recounted the details of the "The ABC Murders."

Lin Yu quickly finished recounting the case.

Compared to * the Mysterious Affair at Styles *, Agatha Christie's writing style had matured by the time she wrote * the ABC Murders *. At this point, Agatha already held the title of "Queen of Crime." Therefore, while * the ABC Murders * may not have the same level of experience as Agatha most famous works such as *The Murder of the Murder of Roger Ackroyd *, * Murder on the Orient Express *, and And Then There Were None, its plot is undeniably captivating and pioneered some new concepts in suspense and mystery.

This time, the Nightless Sky Family Head listened with much more rapt attention.

When Lin Yu finally revealed the answer, the Nightless Sky Family Head sighed with emotion.

"Is the best place to hide a leaf in the forest...?"

"This is really interesting; it's beyond my expectations."

As she spoke, she rested her chin on her hand and looked at Lin Yu: "I really like this case."

"Although I'd like to hear a few more, let's get down to business for now."

"Huo Le came to me to ask for an invitation to Fire Apricot's Birthday Banquet, and also to try and get some benefits for herself..."

"And you, what brings you here? And why are you attending Fire Apricot's Birthday Banquet?"

Lin Yu replied seriously, "I just wanted to increase Huo Le's chances of winning. Someone has to do things she's not good at."

Then, Lin Yu changed the subject. "Of course, I haven't been back for a long time either. Now that I'm back, of course I have to come and visit you right away."

This answer is perfect.

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Nightless Sky Family Head couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's so typical of A Luo."

"You really know how to make me happy more and more, that's wonderful."

"And I'm so pleased that you care so much about Huo Le."

The Nightless Sky Family Head spoke, his eyes slightly narrowed.

She bears a striking resemblance to the Nightless Sky Huo Le and Nightless Sky Huo Shu, both siblings possessing the same fiery red eyes and upturned fox-like eyes as their mother.

However, the eyes of the Nightless Sky Family Head were longer and narrower than those of her children, and when she narrowed them, she looked exactly like a little fox.

"But, A Luo, do you know which Deity I am Chosen of God?"

When Lin Yu heard the Nightless Sky Family Head ask this, he replied casually, "I don't know. Did you mention it? I don't recall."

"I didn't say that, but you can guess."

Nightless Sky Family Head spoke, Lin Yu shook his head. "How could I possibly guess that?"

Actually, it's quite easy to guess.

After all, the known information is that the Truth Company is backed by the God of Miracles and the God of Wisdom.

That's most likely one of the two gods.

Moreover, Lin Yu had already seen the "statue" downstairs.

Judging from the feeling emanating from that statue and the "library" now appearing on the top floor, Lin Yu could easily guess...

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Nightless Sky Family Head should be the Chosen of God of the "God of Wisdom".

As expected, the Nightless Sky Family Head spoke calmly.

"I am the Chosen of God of the God of Wisdom."

As she spoke, she stood up and looked at Lin Yu with great interest.

"So... which Deity sent you?"

"And what did you do to A Luo?"

As she spoke, all the bookshelves trembled, and heavy books flew into the air, hovering and stopping, their pages turning with a rustling sound.

"Although you are realistic enough... you are not A Luo."

The Nightless Sky Family Head spoke calmly.

Even after Lin Yu's identity was exposed, he remained seated.

"Hmm... I've been seen through."

That was to be expected.

He showed no sign of panic.

After all, being seen through at this point, or rather, having this point brought up only now, is very significant for Lin Yu...

That's perfectly acceptable.
