Chapter 648: Red Sea Rage (I)

"Honestly, you didn't really fall in love with that female police officer at first sight, did you?" Schiller leaned on the bar, holding a glass of wine, and looked at Chloe who was talking to the male police officer with Lucifer.

"What do you know? This is called love..." Lucifer also picked up the wine glass, stared at Chloe and said: "You humans often say that love comes so violently and without reason..."

Lucifer stood behind the bar, leaned forward with his elbows on the bar, and said in a low voice: "If you cooperate with me to deal with her, I will help you cure seasickness, how about it?"

"Not very good, I suddenly don't get seasick." Schiller put down the wine glass and stood up. He turned around and wanted to leave, but Lucifer held him and said: "Don't be like this, you just ruined my first meeting with her, you have to create another chance for me, right?"

Schiller turned his head and looked at Lucifer. Lucifer still held the wine glass and stared at Chloe. Schiller flicked the wine glass with his fingers. Lucifer was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. Schiller said helplessly: "You are not really fascinated by her, are you? Constantine specially summoned the devil, arranged the magic circle, and played a big drama in order to chase a female police officer... ”

”Now, you also like a female police officer, what’s wrong with you two?”

”You don’t understand…” Lucifer took a sip of wine, but his eyes never left Chloe. He said: “Pure and noble souls of the opposite sex have a fatal attraction to people from hell.”

”That kind of holy and noble soul attracts us, but at the same time, it also makes us want to destroy. Purity, nobility, kindness…”

Looking at the shadow of wings flashing behind Lucifer, Schiller knocked the table with his wine glass. With a “bang”, Lucifer came back to his senses. He shook his head and said: “That’s it, I fell in love with her.”

Schiller rolled his eyes and said: “Then you should bravely pursue your true love. I’m leaving.”

After that, he put down the wine glass and turned to leave. Lucifer’s attention was still on Chloe. He did not stop Schiller, but stood behind the bar thinking, obviously thinking about how to find another opportunity to intervene in this case.

Just when Schiller had walked to the side door of the bar, Chloe suddenly caught up with him. The female police officer walked up to Schiller and said, "Sorry, professor, can I take up a little of your time?"

Schiller pursed his lips and glanced back at Lucifer. Lucifer gestured to him and made a face. Schiller sighed and said, "Okay, Detective Chloe, what's the matter?"

At this time, Lucifer walked up and said, "Hey, don't talk here. It's windy here. Let's go in. What happened just now made all the guests run away. I can't finish the food I prepared. It's a waste to throw it away. Why don't we have a midnight snack together?"

Chloe didn't refuse , but looked at Schiller, who nodded and said, "Okay, give me another drink."

Lucifer quickly went to mix the drinks. After a while, Schiller, Lucifer, Chloe and male police officer Dan sat on the sofa. Chloe frowned and said:

"This case is not as simple as it seems. The killer who attacked the deceased wore an expensive watch that did not match his consumption level. I think there should be a darker deal behind this."

"Watch?" Lucifer frowned and rubbed his chin. He did not pay attention to the killer's dress. After all, he did not expect a female police officer to handle the case, so he did not pay attention to so many details.

"I think you think too much." Dan said, "I think it must be a conflict in the drug deal that caused the seller to shoot and kill people."

"This doesn't make sense, Dan, you should know that if all this is just an accident, the deceased happened to buy something from the drug dealer, and then didn't pay, angering the drug dealer, causing him to shoot and kill people, then why was the drug dealer's car hit and he died as soon as he killed people?"

Chloe reached out and stroked her hair and said, "The killer's death was not an accident. It should be the mastermind behind the scenes who wanted to silence him."

Lucifer thought about it and remembered that after the gunshot, there was a collision sound of a car accident. When he rushed out, he found that the car the murderer was riding in was hit by a large truck.

When he went to check the murderer's body, he found that the murderer died because of the collision of the car accident and his forehead hit the steering wheel in front.

As mentioned before, Lucifer is also a mystery lover, and this hobby was cultivated by Schiller. At this time, he analyzed almost instinctively:

"The intersection in front of my bar is not a straight crossroads. The direction of the big truck that hit the killer was the east side of the intersection, and the angle between it and the street where my bar is located is an obtuse angle."

"That is to say, on the way he drove here, his vision should be very good, and he could see what cars were on this road, and there would be no car accidents due to blind spots in his vision."

"I have been running a bar here for so many years, and I have never seen any car accidents. It is also a good proof that there is no road safety problem here. It is very suspicious that a car accident would occur at this time."

Chloe looked at Lucifer in surprise. He originally thought that this bar owner was just like those people who hang out in nightclubs all year round, only making some inappropriate dirty jokes and causing trouble. Unexpectedly, when he got serious, he could still provide some useful information.

Chloe took out a notebook from her bag, then looked at Lucifer and asked, "Do you know what the deceased did in the bar?"

"Everyone comes to the bar for one purpose, that is, to have fun and relax." Lucifer took a sip of wine, and then said, "Delilah is no exception. She may want to come to me to talk about her troubles."

"What troubles does she have?" Chloe keenly caught this point.

"She didn't say anything." Lucifer shook his head and said, "There were several times when she wanted to say something but stopped herself, but in the end she said nothing. You might as well ask this psychology professor, who had a more in-depth conversation with Delilah."

Chloe turned to look at Schiller. Although Schiller was already sure of Delilah's mental state, he still said relatively conservatively:

"She is in a state of anxiety and has a fear of choice. This mental state should have lasted for a long time. The specific cause may be the pressure from the other party in the intimate relationship..."

"Intimate relationship?" Chloe thought, then she turned around and pushed Dan, saying: "Go back to the police station now and see if you can find Delilah's identity information. If you do, call me..."

After Dan left, Lucifer became more proactive. He looked at Looking at Dan's departing back, he asked, "Detective, I don't mean to offend you, but you and your colleagues don't seem to have a good relationship..."

Chloe frowned, as if she felt that the question was a bit offensive. Schiller said, "Let's take advantage of this time to check the scene again. Lucifer and I are both mystery enthusiasts. This kind of experience in solving murders on the spot is very valuable to us. It is our honor to work with an experienced police officer like you..."

Hearing this, Chloe's expression eased a little. She stood up with her legs and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I just missed some of the surrounding environment and didn't investigate. If you want to see it, remember not to destroy the scene or move the body."

"Don't worry, as a psychology professor, I have also worked with the police, and I understand these things." Schiller also stood up.

As the three of them were walking out, Chloe asked casually, "Professor, which university are you working at now?"

"Gotham University."

Chloe paused as she pushed the door open, and said, "It seems that you should have more experience than me."

Schiller smiled and said nothing. After the three of them went out, Chloe went to the intersection where the car accident occurred to check the situation.

The female police officer found that the situation was indeed as Lucifer said. The intersection had a wide field of vision, and there was no blind spot like the ordinary crossroads. From the driving trajectory of the truck, the truck driver had no intention of braking or turning, and just ran straight into it.

The death of the killer's body in the car was not unexpected. The fatal injury was a head collision, but what made Chloe a little concerned was that there were some strange signs of movement on the body. It didn't look like it was moved by someone, but it moved after death.

Chloe certainly didn't think that someone could revive the body. She thought it might be the shock caused by the subsequent explosion of the vehicle that caused the body to shift. This situation has also happened before.

While Chloe was trying to figure out the identity of the murderer, Schiller and Lucifer gathered next to Delilah's body, and Schiller whispered, "Why don't you revive her now and find out what's going on?"

"Do you think I can revive anyone I want?"

"Isn't it?" Schiller asked.

"Of course not." Lucifer glanced at Chloe in the distance and said, "The last time I was able to resurrect the sister of the female police officer Angela, it was because I modified the cause and effect relationship from the timeline. Without the cause, she would not die naturally, so it cannot be said to be resurrection."

"And now, if I want to resurrect Delilah out of thin air, then I have to go to hell and find her soul back."

"Then why don't you go?"

"Remember the female bartender who mixed your drinks before? She kept persuading me to go back to hell. There were also demons from hell who came up before. They all wanted me to return to hell. I don't want to go back, so I don't want to have too much contact with hell..."

Schiller didn't continue talking. He was reserved about the act of resurrection. From a behavioral point of view, death is an important cause of many human behavior patterns. Once there is no deterrence of death, how human behavior will develop, no one knows.

And resurrection from the dead may also have a great impact on human psychology, not to mention that in this world, after human death, either go to heaven or go to hell. After seeing the scenery of these two worlds, I am afraid that the whole person's mentality will change greatly.

Schiller didn't know what the relationship between Delilah and Lucifer was. Now it seems that they may not have a deep friendship. After all, Lucifer helped Delilah just for fun and didn't invest any feelings.

Schiller squatted down, looked at Delilah's body, checked the part where she was shot, and then checked the surrounding ground. After checking everything, he said: "The person who did it was very professional. All the bullets hit the target person. There was no trace of any bullets on the surrounding ground."

Lucifer narrowed his eyes and said: "No matter what, Delilah is also my friend, and I don't allow anyone to do it on my territory. If I don't give the people behind it a good look, I won't be able to survive on the West Coast."

"You said before that if I create an opportunity for you, you can help me figure out why I am seasick. What is going on? Now, the opportunity has come. "

Schiller stood up and looked at Lucifer, who also looked at him. Schiller said: "Delilah's troubles may come from one of her intimate relationships, perhaps her husband and boyfriend, or her family."

"You can propose to Officer Chloe to investigate her family situation together, so that you will have plenty of time to pick her up."

Lucifer looked at Schiller in surprise, but then he set his eyes on the ring on Schiller's hand. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine without saying anything.
