Chapter 244 243.1 Bailey

After returning to his narrow room, Horus thought about the next action.

He no longer needed to worry too much about the police. Instead, he was a little stunned by their actions. After all, it was too smooth, so he suspected that these policemen were impersonated by others.

Originally, Horus wanted to make Ruter the murderer, so he pointed some hidden clues to Ruter. At the same time, for the possible investigation of Forna, he also planned to make up a script that Ruter tried to escape from prison, but eventually died at the hands of the prison guards.

However, he didn't need to do all this himself.

Now the only thing is to pass Forna, but if Horus guessed correctly, it would not be a difficult problem.

Because the children who were locked in the wine barrels last night had been moved away, so Forna's men would definitely not contact Maria again in the short term.

After all, human trafficking can only be done secretly and cannot be put in the open, and it is impossible for a group of children to be trafficked every day.

Therefore, it will take many days for the next batch of children to be delivered. By that time, even if the other party has some means, it is difficult to find that the real murderer is Horus.

In the end, Ruter can only take the blame.

The Forna manor must be very dangerous, but I still need to rescue those children, and "guarding the grave" is my reliance... It is impossible to call the police, no one believes...

Seeing Dekuo, Horus did not believe that the police could solve this matter. After all, although Viscount Forna had just arrived not long ago, he also knew the horror of the other party.

As for the church...

Thinking of this, Horus hesitated a little. He was not sure whether the church could do this, and whether it would be willing to do it.

After thinking for a while, Horus planned to list this as plan No. 2. He would investigate first, and then consider whether to report it to the church secretly.

...

Taking out the only black windbreaker from the closet, Horus put it on, then lifted the hood, stroked his stubble a little, and then left the room carefully.

People coming and going in Xisong came from all directions, and they were dressed in different clothes. It was relatively easy to hide their identities, so Horus's outfit was not noticeable.

...

For more than an hour, Horus wandered around crowded places, such as some taverns, and then asked people some questions privately, but unfortunately, it was not as smooth as he imagined.

Their understanding of the upper class was only superficial, and they had no idea about the details.

And Horus paid several Baileys for this, which made him heartbroken.

But fortunately, he still got a piece of news.

- The surrounding area is under the protection of the "Black Rose". To put it bluntly, it is a small gang. However, if you want to inquire about the news, it is best to find them.

When Horus first heard this name, he couldn't help laughing. A small organization of more than ten people has such an elegant name.

However, after hearing the name of the middleman of the Black Rose, Horus felt a little bit of a toothache, because that person was Lispi.

Then, he came to Maria Tavern again.

Maria's tavern is open at night, so there are no customers now, but there are usually staff on duty behind the tavern.

But now that Maria is dead, they left work early, and Lispi will not show up now, and he may still be receiving Maria's inheritance.

Moreover, Lispi does not live in the staff dormitory building, but has his own house, but Horus does not know.

If it were normal, he would definitely show up when the tavern opens at night, but now, the tavern may have to close for a few days.

After thinking about it, Horus planned to see if the other people in the tavern were still there, and then ask them about Lispi's address, and then go to the door in person.

...

In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, Horus made his body a little thinner. This is just another use of the "tombkeeper" ability, making his body look like an old man who is about to die, but this is only a physical change.

This effect, when it is a "tombkeeper", is forcibly reflected in the body as a side effect, and it is impossible to change back even if you want to, and it can only be slightly changed at most.

Unless the secret medicine is almost digested, and then the ability of "tomb guarding" is mastered, it is possible to restore one's body.

Horus was lucky to skip this stage directly, taking the special substance to become a "psychic", and restore his original body.

But this process is also unfortunate to some extent. If there is no Ubermo, Horus may really lose control.

...

At the same time, Horus also deliberately put on a cheap mask, which cost him 1 Bailey, making his already poor life worse.

After waiting around the tavern for a while, Horus felt a little stuffy and could only force himself to calm down.

At this time, he finally saw a man coming out of the back door of the tavern. The other party was wearing a linen shirt, black trousers, and a red bow tie on his collar.

That was Raen, the financial staff in the tavern, one of the people who went to the police last time.

Horus then walked forward, blocking the way of Raan. In the face of his puzzled and unhappy expression, he said in a hoarse but heavy voice: "Tell me where Lispi is, and this 1 Bailey is yours."

As he spoke, he stretched out his skinny and shriveled hand, and then spread it out, revealing a rusty coin.

Raen looked at the other party's trembling palm, and couldn't imagine how an old man who would fall to the ground at the slightest touch could say such a provocative word.

But the fact is that Raen was a little nervous about him.

Because Horus' voice made Raen feel a little trembling, as if the temperature around him suddenly dropped, which was incredible.

Just a moment, Raen didn't intend to refuse the unreasonable request of the old man, because he felt that the other party was very dangerous, and he must have the courage to support him to do so.

So, Raen answered tactfully: "He is not in the tavern now, but he lives in No. 12 Momo Street, the small house with a window, you can tell at a glance."

Although Raen didn't know whether the other party came to seek revenge, it had nothing to do with him. On the contrary, it would be better if it was for this reason.

"So, do other people know where Lispi is now?" Horus asked immediately, his tone as stiff as ever.

Laen then replied with a strange tone: "This sir, he left the tavern more than half an hour ago, and he didn't tell us where he was going."

"This coin is yours." Horus didn't ask any more questions, and the other party obviously didn't know anything.

Then Horus held the coin and stopped his hand in the air, ready to wait for the other party to take it away.

But Laen shook his head and said, "This sir, you just take it. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Although he coveted this Bailey, after all, he could drink a glass of cheap wine brewed by a small workshop. But Laen still thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible. Staying by the other party's side, he always felt that death cared about him.

But Laen couldn't figure out why he had this idea, so his choice was to follow his heart and didn't take Horus's coin.

Horus didn't speak, retracted the coin back into his hand, and then left directly.

There are still five Baileys left... Horus sighed slightly, and there was only so little left of what Ubermo lent him last time.

What can a Bailey do?

You can buy a 1-pound rye bread. If you eat sparingly, you may be able to survive for a day or two.

The face value of 1 Bailey is not high at all.

If Horus became a "tombkeeper" at that time, as long as he did not engage in strenuous activities, he could survive for half a month with a piece of bread. He could even eat some creatures in the ground raw.

As for why he pretended to be so tough, and even had a hint of threat in his words?

It was definitely not because he was short of money!

How could this be possible? He would not be so fussy about 1 Bailey, after all, he was not too concerned about material needs now.

It was because he wanted to create a strong and mysterious person, only in this way could Lispi answer obediently. Even if Forna's people learned from Lispi that someone was paying attention to Forna, they would fall into misunderstanding.

Therefore, even in the face of Rahn, Horus needs to play his role well and start from now on.

...

Momo Street is not too far from Maria Tavern, just one or two streets away.

Horus began to look for Lispi's address according to the information in his mind.

Soon, he saw a narrow two-story house, located between two rows of houses, like a corridor that was once reserved and rebuilt.

There was only one window on the second floor, but it looked like it had not been opened for a long time, and there was some dust outside.

But Horus didn't know whether the other party was here now. After all, it was not long after the Maria incident, and there were still many things to deal with afterwards.

Approaching the house, Horus began to feel the breath of the room in a slightly complicated way, and then he sensed that there were two people in the room on the second floor, and they were very close.

Horus went around a place and came to a corner, summoned the "tombstone", and went directly to the room on the second floor where Lispi was.

The room was a little dim, and clothes were scattered on the ground. Horus walked forward a few steps and sat directly on a chair not far from the bed, watching a man and a woman lingering on the bed.

Then, Horus knocked on the wardrobe next to him.

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound was clear and loud, hitting people's minds directly, causing Li Sipi, who was in a state of happiness, to tense up instantly and suddenly stop his movements.

Li Sipi quickly turned his head and looked behind him.

Seeing that figure, he was angry at first, and then his face turned pale.
