Breeze Ballroom.
Lumian looked around in the dim light but couldn't find Charlie.
This made his heart sink, and he quickly waved for Louis and Sakota to come over.
"Boss, what's the matter?" Louis asked anxiously.
He thought the boss was dissatisfied with some current situation in the dance hall.
Lumian glanced at the waiters in vests and bow ties and asked in a chatty tone:
"Where's Charlie? I have something to ask him."
Louis' eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out in astonishment: "Boss, didn't Charlie follow you out just now?" Me? Charlie followed me out? Lumian's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had received too strong a light.
"when?"
Outside the illuminated areas surrounded by darkness, He Lunsha suddenly stopped.
According to the rules of Breeze Ballroom, every waiter, bartender, chef and kitchen helper can get two sets of uniforms, but they cannot take them out of the ballroom and can only be kept in the locker room on the first floor.
There was only one person in the small dressing room. He Lunsha took a quick look and found the cabinet with Lanka's name on it.
I saw that the fence of the drainage ditch here had no signs of displacement, there were a lot of chaotic footprints on the roadside next to it, and there was no sign of being hit near the lower part of the gas lamppost near the special person's head.
You, holding He Lun's clothes, have entered a new round of divination. That is caused by the humanistic environment of the market area. These bartenders and waiters may go bankrupt at any time because of their own or their family's gambling, alcoholism, illness, etc., and be forced to flee this place. We must have taken the uniforms back home, and after moving away, we must have taken those things to the pawnshop for mortgage and exchanged them for cash, so we would care whether the Breeze Ballroom belongs to the White Gang.
One of the pairs was unfamiliar to me, and it belonged to Lanka. You then used a broom placed inside the dressing room door to do divination.
"Maybe, maybe it's true or not."
"I'll buy him one next time I see him." He Lunsha was sure that she would meet someone as unlucky as this homeless man in the near future.
"At least there are no footprints." Fu Charlie breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, all the missing details were already clear in my mind:
Fu Charlie shook his head quickly:
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw pieces of rubble rolling down from the pile of rocks blocking the entrance of the cave and hitting the ground with a clatter.
I originally planned to stop Lanka from walking out of the ballroom in his waiter's clothes, but because he was leaving with the boss, I wisely kept my mouth shut.
After that, I walked towards the dressing room near the kitchen area. Matisse carried the calcium carbide lamp and walked up the stairs to the floor without the street and square name.
After walking for a few minutes, Mathis and Fu Charlie stopped.
Are you, Matisse Lee, such a bad pretender
Very slowly, you loosened your left hand, but the broom kept moving and stood very steadily, as if it was still being supported by someone.
"It's like..."
"It's nothing like the unfortunate thing you saw this morning.
"If I can disguise myself as Mr. Efe, I can certainly disguise myself as you.
Mattis did not dwell on that question and asked:
The simplified "divination rod method" is difficult to use underground, because the direction it points to may be correct, but there may not be a way out. It requires a very small detour, and there is a risk of getting lost.
This is getting weirder!
Matisse nodded heavily and said fiercely:
"You're slow to react, but I know to find a divination medium for you." Fu Charlie, wearing a white robe and a hood, appeared at the side of Matisse and praised him.
You quickly walked to the full-length mirror in the dressing room and ran your hand across the surface.
Louis thought about it for a moment, looked at Lumian in confusion and said:
Fuherun held Lanka's clothes in his right hand, pressed the top of the broom with his left palm, and muttered something.
"That ability isn't that great.
It is hard to tell whether it is true or false. After all, one is the real person and the other is a special person, but it is not yet known.
We walked side by side for a long distance and discovered something from the communication, right
I believe He Lun’s disappearance has nothing to do with Susanna Louise!
"Less than five minutes ago.
Susanna Louise was close to recovery, but she was worried that the official ordinary people were still monitoring He Lun, so she asked the fake Mr. Efe to disguise himself as Charles and take He Lun away in a seemingly normal way, and took me back underground. Once we got to Tewail on the ground, it would be difficult for the official people to find us.
You immediately looked at He Lunsha: I don’t have any rough guesses this time!
Wait a little longer, it is said that even divination will be disturbed!
"This pervert took the same route before he knocked Jane unconscious," Mathis replied brilliantly.
"Let them do other things."
"Does he know where the fake Ev is going?" "We're underground!
"Lanka's current location.
Apart from this, you can see everything.
"Yes." Sakota answered Mattis' question very confidently.
In the last second, two figures appeared, walking outside the yellowish and blurry light.
Fu Charlie pondered for two seconds, then reached out and took out Lanka's linen shirt.
Fu Charlie was puzzled. After a few seconds, he finally couldn't help but ask:
I have no signs of being restricted for the time being.
I have blond hair with a hint of gray, a pair of dark light blue eyes, and I look quite good, just like another Matisse.
Some of the small rules of the dance hall are prepared for waiters, dancers, bartenders, chefs, thugs, cleaners, and even managers, and the boss needs to abide by them!
Before He Lunsha finished speaking, Mathis looked at her warmly. She immediately changed her position and said in a whisper:
"He Lun's current location. He asked in a deep voice:
"It's possible..." He Lunsha blurted out.
Similarly, the cheap cafés where Tewail catered to scavengers, coolies, vagrants, and lower-class workers often used tin cutlery and secured them under the tables with chains, leaving just enough room for movement to prevent them from being quietly taken away and sold by customers.
"Idiot..." Mathis cursed at the guy.
"Where did he buy this bad luck charm? It's so ineffective, isn't it?"
The "wizard" did not bring any lighting tools. I wonder if he was sure that he would be separated from Matisse, or if he was worried that the darkness would have some effect on your eyesight.
My destination is this entrance that goes underground in the middle of the market path.
"You are stupid again." Mathis responded in a complicated manner. He took out a half piece of wire he carried with him, fiddled with it for a while, and opened the cabinet where Lanka kept his clothes.
After a few seconds, it fell up with a snap.
Judging from the footprints, He Lun was very afraid of retreating underground late at night, and walked timidly, but in the end he chose to suspect "Charles".
You said to yourself with a hint of doubt:
After a while, someone made a passage outside, and a figure came out cautiously.
At this point, Charlie suddenly realized:
As the yellowish-bluish light of the calcium carbide lamp illuminated the upward stairs, He Lunsha found two pairs of footprints.
I was walking very slowly, and soon I lost my direction before I found any footprints. After a while, I found Lanka and the fake Ef's footprints again.
Matisse nodded, turned and walked out of the locker room, went downstairs to get a calcium carbide lamp and some things that might be useful later, and went straight into the ballroom.
That was the most unfamiliar and least dangerous route for the gang, and the fake Ev was supposed to take Lanka to see Susanna and Louis—Susanna and Louis were probably at the end of that route! .
"Did you harass me?" Mattis asked tentatively. Mattis had not believed it before, but now he was even more certain:
Fu Charlie examined it for a few seconds and interpreted it with a firm tone:
There seemed to be some collapse outside, with rubble everywhere, and the footprints became messy here, and finally pointed to a
There was a small hole blocked by rubble.
"Maybe no one is pretending to be you, but you are vague about what I want to do with Lanka."
Five minutes ago? I've been in White Coat Street for more than half an hour. Besides, the last time I left the dance hall, I was a disguised drunk. It's impossible for Charlie to leave with me... Lumian quickly ruled out the possibility that Charlie followed him out of the dance hall without him knowing.
"The target encountered a serious landslide and was trapped outside?" Fu Charlie hissed, "That's too unlucky, isn't it?"
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't hide it from the official ordinary people during the first investigation." Fu Charlie replied, and then he turned invisible again and followed Mathis to the entrance of the ground Tewail in the middle of the market alley.
Lumian's gaze fell on Sakota and found that this taciturn and relatively more trustworthy subordinate also had a confused look on his face.
"This fake Ev who is plagued by bad luck? I am the one who took Lanka away?"
"So the divination just now has a way of predicting the result. The broom will always be able to jump up by itself and stand upright, right
One of them vaguely looked like Lanka dressed as a waiter, and the back of the other one looked very much like He Lunsha.
A few breaths ago, the mirror turned dark, as if reflecting darkness.
The less fancy cafes don't have their own worries. For the sake of appearances, they tend to use silver or porcelain tableware, but the customers are not so decent, so before closing every day, the boss has to count the tableware again and again to see if anything is missing, and he usually repeatedly reminds the waiters to pay attention to similar things.
"Did He Lun change his clothes when he walked out of the ballroom?"
"It was as if he slipped, and while struggling to steady himself, he tripped over the gutter and ended up crashing into a street lamp... There shouldn't have been any bloodstains, but they were dealt with..." Fu Charlie appeared again and made a preliminary reconstruction of the whole incident based on the situation at the scene.
Fu Charlie said a lot, using the darkness around him to half-hide his figure, sometimes searching behind, sometimes guarding the front and sides.
Under the market path illuminated by the crimson moonlight and gas street lamps, Matisse walked slowly, looking for possible clues.
Lumian suppressed the various thoughts in his mind and said to Sakota and Lumian:
A few minutes later, Lumian and I both greeted the boss. This could be fake!
Upon seeing this, Fu Charlie once again took out the fluorescent powder and used a spell to make himself invisible.
Combined with Charlie's bright red and black fortune, the probability of him encountering danger is almost 100%!
