“If that’s the case, why’d you say so Yu Lan had understood why this group of police officers had come for him, he didn’t hesitate to ju him for a while
“It’s rather odd to say, but the victi seemed to have made a phone call before he passed away; it’s just that the call didn’t go through After checking the number, we found that it was meant for you…” The officer announced “Because of the call, the faitated They think the hter”
The officer’s words shocked Feng Yu Lan He instinctively touched thethe charab his phone and check the time At that moment, there was, indeed, a missed call on his cell, but the nu Yu Lan had assu nunored it at the time and, instead, directly called Luo Jian
The police officer took the phone fro Yu Lan, exa Yu Lan Although Feng Yu Lan had originally been the primary suspect because of this phone call, once the police investigated the surveillance ca Yu Lan had not left the ward the entire night In the ht, a nurse stopped by and checked the roo Yu Lan was sound asleep in his bed Moreover, it was a full one-hour drive fro Yu Lan currently rested at, h time to return [if he had co Yu Lan had a solid alibi to prove that he was not theYu Lan wasn’t the culprit, the next steps were easier to handle The officer had reason to believe that Feng Yu Lan e Yu Lan: “Because of your special circule room for you And for the sake of your safety, you’ll be under the protection of our police during your stay at this hospital”
Feng Yu Lan cursed in his heart, rather than saying such a pleasant word like, ‘protecting’, why not just say ‘’ Unfortunately, he could only say this in hisit aloud His heart had no choice but to accept the arrangeood to reject such an offer After all, Feng Yu Lan’s wound hadn’t healed yet, and he also didn’t want to receive anynearby, was also taken out for a drink by one of the officers Of course, since Luo Jian didn’t have anything to do with this matter in the first place, he was free to leave after a few questions Luo Jian was still feeling unbearably anxious though; he felt that he had overlooked so Yu Lan to take care of himself then headed off by himself to the Red Spider Lily Bar
There were a couple of things that the boss didn’t explain in detail However, theYu Lan and the note Feng Yu Lan wasn’t a player in the game, so how could he be invited? If not all, he didn’t write on the blank letter, but how did the note spontaneously modify itself into an invitation card? These were questions that Luo Jian needed answers to, and the only person who could answer these right noas the boss
Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped into the Red Spider Lily Bar, the bartender, Noah, took the initiative to welco for the boss He’s been awaiting your arrival for a long time”
“He knew I’d corin at Luo Jian then led hih, he saw that bearded uncle who claimed to be Boss; his face was flushed red from the wine, and he was sprawled across the sofa, completely motionless Noah sauntered over and, without an ounce of respect, harshly kicked the boss The other raised his head in a drunken daze, caught sight of Luo Jian, and then hiccupped
He slurred, “You ca tis to ht to the point
“Ah…that’s right I drank a bit tooabout it, you should’ve already realized so” The boss tossed his bottle aside, sat upright on the couch, and pulled at his disheveled hair, see The expression on his face was grave as he explained to Luo Jian, “Before I answer any of your questions, I have to tell you so very, very important”
“There’s this note in the chambers It’s a piece of paper with a purple hell flower that you would often see in the chambers The purpose of this note isn’t just to reive you some hints about the situation, it also has other functions If you take this note and ask it soive you a response… In simpler terms, it’s as if this slip of paper possesses a mind of its own; it has the ability to communicate with you! But e on behalf of the chaes the note brings to you!”
The boss’s account somewhat surprised Luo Jian He immediately recalled his first chamber experience; the piece of paper he held in his hand certainly answered Luo Jian’s question ThisYu Lan was invited by the note, and he asked, “You gave me a blank letter the last tied into a written invitation card and invited a?”
“The chambers will never invite ordinary people” The boss shook his head and pondered for ato Luo Jian’s question “Since your friend was invited, his situation’s probably just like yours; he was selected for a reason! As a newcomer, he still had yet to experience his first trial, but because he came in contact with that note, he was automatically approved and invited by the chambers—but if he really did accept the invitation, wouldn’t that uys became a team? That’s double the difficulty ah! You should count yourself lucky to be able to stand in front of ’s still amiss” Luo Jian cast a wry snore this vague sense of unease that pricked his heart After deliberating over whether he should say it, he finally continued, “I’m not sure if you’ve read the newspaper recently, but o… is this reat uncle ruffled his hair in exasperation; his previously unkempt hair turned into a ly beard With a bitter expression, he grih I’uide to all newcomers in this city, I’m not at all omniscient, but…about that serial killer in the city… There’s actually someone who has better qualifications to answer any questions youabout this You can go ask him”
The boss said his senior would come over at 8 PM or 9 PM, around the ti, so there was a good while before nighttiested that Luo Jian try to find a nearby place to kill some time, but Luo Jian didn’t knohat he could do to busy himself He’d just recently escaped the oppressive environ all of this free time actually stressed Luo Jian out
