At eight o'clock in the morning, two Police slowly came to Golden Rooster Inn Third Floor. One checked Corpse, the suicide note and the environment, and the other was responsible for questioning the surrounding tenants.

Lumian has simply disguised itself with "Mystery-Peering Glasses" and is standing at the door of Room 310.

Police, who was wearing uniform and holding Paper and Pen, glanced at him:

"Are you Charles·Dubois? Please tell me the general story."

Lumian was already crazy when he moved from Flamang. He always claimed that after meeting Montsouris Ghosts, his family members were all dead and it was about to be his turn. He kept talking until he suddenly regained consciousness last night and drank a lot of wine.

"What's the matter with the wound on his shoulder?" That One Police, who was handling Corpse in the room, interrupted and asked.

"Before he regained consciousness last night, he hurt himself, and I bandaged his wounds." Lumian replied calmly.

After questioning other tenants and Basement Bar Boss, the two police officers initially confirmed that the deceased was a person who had been suffering from a long-term mental disorder and had the motive to commit suicide and had corresponding tendencies.

When they put Flamang's Corpse into the body bag, they said to Lumian, "We will send him to Catacombs, but there is one The relatively tedious process, which includes truly determining the cause of death, asking Clergy to purify it, finding someone who can inherit his legacy, and communicating with Catacombs managers, will take about one to two weeks."

Lumian was silent for a moment and said, "I drank with him several times. Remember to tell me when you bury him."

After answering in the affirmative, the two Police took Flamang's Corpse and the items in the room and left Golden Rooster Inn.

Lumian took off his disguise and returned to Room 207.

He was sitting on a chair, with his back facing the window of Sunlight and facing the somewhat dim corridor, with quite complicated emotions.

Flamang's suicide made him feel like he had seen another ending of himself.

He helped the other party to replace the Destiny who "met Montsouris Ghosts", not only to make use of that Destiny, but also did not think about getting other rewards. He just felt that Flamang, who had lost all his relatives, was in a similar situation to his own. It was just that one completely collapsed and became Madman, while the other was still trying to maintain it, telling himself that there was still hope and that he must remain rational enough.

But in the end, Flamang, who was no longer troubled by Montsouris Ghosts and no longer driven crazy by fear, chose to end his life.

In the corridor, Elodie, who was wearing a Golden wig and eye shadow, and another cleaning lady had begun their busy work today. They cleaned the floor and dealt with Bedbug without stopping for a moment.

Lumian watched all this quietly, his vision seemed to have no focus.

Nearly a quarter of an hour later, light but rapid footsteps extended from the stairs to outside Room 207.

The figure of Jenna then came into view, and Eyes of Lumian was wearing something simpler than usual. The slightly tight Lady’s shirt was paired with a light brown short top and a Ivory fluffy skirt, and black boots that went above the knees. She still wore the kind of decadent Fascination makeup.

She glanced at Lumian, entered Room 207, and closed Wooden Door with her backhand.

Lumian came back to her senses and looked at this guy quietly without asking her purpose.

Jenna lowered his voice with a look of curiosity and excitement. "Have you heard? Boss of Stinger Gang and the two leaders were all killed!"

"I know." Lumian nodded.

Jenna looked at his expression and deliberately asked, "You didn't do it, did you?"

"Do you think I can kill 'Black Scorpion'Roger, 'Baldy'Harman and 'Short-legged Candelabrum'Castina in one go?" Lumian asked.

Jenna already knew the approximate strength of Charles from Franca, and also knew that "Black Scorpion" Roger was not weaker than Franca. He shook his head and said, "No."

She then extended her tone:

"But you can still find help."

For example, Franca.

"No official suspects me." Lumian said.

He was actually a little confused about this matter.

Normally, as one of the few people who had a direct conflict with Stinger Gang recently, after something like that happened, he would definitely be asked about the situation. However, Lumian waited from last night to this morning, always ready to put on some disguise, but never waited for the investigators.

At this moment, another burst of rapid footsteps came from the stairs.

Dong Dong Dong, Room 207 was knocked.

Charlie? Lumian looked at the door and said, "Come in, it's not locked."

The visitor is none other than Charlie. He is wearing White Shirt, a light-colored vest, a black formal suit, a Medium-Height Silk Top Hat on his head, and a dark bow tie around his neck.

This dress is more Dignity than when he was White Swan Hotel as Waiter.

After looking at Charlie for a few times, Lumian smiled:

"Hey, where did this Civilization person come from?"

Charlie couldn't hide his smile, and said in a warm and passionate tone, "Really? I am a real Civilization person now, and I am still learning classical grammar. Lady, sir, please allow me to say hello to you in a Civilization person's way."

As he spoke, he took off the Medium-Height Silk Top Hat on his head, pressed it on his chest, bent down slightly, and bowed.

Jenna immediately laughed with Library, but did not hit Charlie, and Lumian said "tsk tsk": "Frankly speaking, you are now more like a monkey wearing clothes of a Civilization person, trying to do the actions of a Civilization person."

Charlie was not hit and was still so happy:

"I have only studied for one day. In another month, you will know me again. Oh, this is Mr. Charlie Corrente. He is enjoying a sumptuous dinner worth 8 Felkine!"

Having said this, Charlie glanced at Jenna who was standing by the bed and opened his mouth, as if he had something he wanted to say but couldn't say it in front of Jenna.

Lumian asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Charlie lowered his voice:

"Did you know? Last night, 'Black Scorpion'Roger, 'Baldy'Harman and 'Short-legged Candelabrum'Castina were all killed."

"I know, what next?" Lumian believed that Charlie would not come to him for such a thing that would soon be known to everyone.

Charlie looked at Jenna and continued, "The current confirmed situation is that the murderer belongs to a terrorist organization called 'Aurora Order'. On the one hand, they like to create scenes full of flesh and blood. On the other hand, it is always for those who believe in Evil God, yes, 'Black Scorpion' Roger. They believe in a Evil God called 'Great Mother'."

Aurora Order? Lumian was a little stunned after hearing this.

Where does this scapegoat come from?

Why did Official Beyonder inexplicably suspect the organization called "Aurora Order"?

Shouldn't we first check for people who have conflicts with "Black Scorpion", Roger and Stinger Gang? This is how Detective novels are written!

"Is it really the organization called 'Aurora Order' that did it?" Jenna asked curiously.

Charlie nodded heavily:

"Yes, 'Aurora Order' seems to have claimed responsibility for this case in some way. Tomorrow, there should be a report on the case in some newspapers."

Charlie means that what he just said is content that can be made public and is not subject to the confidentiality clause.

"Aurora Order" claimed to be responsible? You didn't do anything, so why are you responsible? Lumian was confused and funny for a moment.

If he hadn't killed "Black Scorpion" and "Roger" with his own hands, he would have suspected that it was really "Aurora Order" who did it.

Charlie glanced at him and added in a low voice, "This afternoon, after the election, the entire Market District Gang will be cleaned up to respond to the public's doubts about the security of the district."

Are you memorizing a document? The wording is so written? Lumian probably understood what Charlie came here to remind him of.

Anyone with a case against them had better leave Market District this afternoon and hide for a while!

Lumian nodded lightly and said, "I will go to a Occult Gathering this afternoon."

The party called by Mr. K is at nine o'clock in the evening, but Lumian plans to go earlier.

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the door:

"I'm leaving first."

Lumian thought for a moment and said, "In the future, you don't need to go out of your way to notify me of such trivial matters."

He then mocked. "Are you looking down on my ability?"

Charlie said with a smile, "The first time, the first time is more exciting. From now on, if it is not really directed at you, I will not hint you."

After watching him leave, Jenna sighed:

"He actually became your spy inside Official Beyonder."

"I'd rather he wasn't." Lumian pouted, "A fool who can only do bad things."

Jenna said "heh" and waved his hand. "I'm going to find Franca. Do you want to tell others the information disclosed by Charlie?"

Lumian shook his head:

"If everyone runs away, Official Beyonder will definitely check whether anyone leaked the action plan. That fool will never escape.

"Some people do deserve to go to jail anyway."

Aren't you? Jenna cursed, walked out of Room 207, and entered the corridor.

At this time, two cleaning ladies had already cleaned up to the stairs.

Jenna walked briskly Past and glanced at the cleaning lady named Elodie who was wearing a Golden wig.

Her expression suddenly froze, she turned around suddenly and returned to Room 207, which looked strange to Lumian who was about to go out.

Elodie, who was nearly fifty years old and wearing a Golden wig and eye shadow, also noticed Jenna. She stared at the back of Actor Apprentice for a few seconds, and shouted with confusion and worry, "Celia..."

Jenna's body suddenly froze.

She turned Past slowly, forced a smile, and shouted to Elodie, "Mom."

Mom? Lumian almost doubted her ears.

He then remembered that Elodie said that she used to be Stage Actor, and now she likes to watch performances at Old Pigeon Cage. She had a husband who died in the Factory accident a few years ago, leaving behind two children. Now they are almost adults and can help support the family.

And Jenna is Actor Apprentice of Old Pigeon Cage. His father passed away a few years ago, and his mother and brother are still his relatives. He plans to earn the tuition and other expenses for the next year by himself.

That's right...Lumian nodded thoughtfully.

Elodie carried the broom and walked up to Jenna, looking her up and down:

"Why are you here? What kind of makeup are you wearing?"
