Chapter 319 Even the Gods Cannot Protect Everyone
Early the next morning, after Eros had breakfast, he got on the carriage heading to the Special Operations Department.
Anne and others were a little confused about Eros's move. Generally speaking, isn't a vacation three days in a row?
It's only the second day, why is Eros going to the Special Operations Department?
So Eros briefly explained what happened to him when he rescued Peter yesterday.
Tell them that they are going to the Special Operations Department now, just to understand the specific situation.
If nothing major happens by then, he will be back.
In this way, Eros bid farewell to the three girls.
After arriving at Youle Street, he patrolled the street as usual.
This didn't take long, so Eros wasn't in a hurry to go to the Special Operations Office.
This neighborhood is still the same as it was a few days ago, Mr. Vadim is still so friendly, and Mrs. Jennifer’s flower shop is still locked.
The only thing that was different was the look on the little girl Jessica's face.
Different from the happy and lively mood of the previous two days, Jessica's little face showed a rare hint of sadness today.
Eros was a little surprised when he saw this scene. Could it be that something happened to Jessica's family?
But if something happened at home, how could she still be free to sell matches?
"Why do you feel so unhappy today?"
After thinking for a while, Eros asked with concern in a soft tone.
Jessica pursed her lips and said coquettishly:
"Mrs. Jennifer disappeared, and then I heard terrible news."
"The news is that Mrs. Jennifer fell into the hands of a group of vicious tomb robbers. There is a very small chance that she is still alive today."
It turns out that the flower shop has not been open for a few days. Is it because the store manager, Mrs. Jennifer, has disappeared?
Also, a tomb robber?
Thinking of this, Eros frowned. The prerequisite for Mrs. Jennifer to fall into the hands of grave robbers was that she had been to the cemetery.
And now the cemetery...
Wait, did Mrs. Jennifer happen to encounter members of the Abyss Order making ghouls when she went to the cemetery?
That's why the news said there was little chance that Mrs. Jennifer was still alive.
This cannot be said to be very small at all, but rather to say that there is no possibility of survival.
It is estimated that the news Jessica heard was polished and released by the police.
The reason why the news didn’t say he was dead is probably because the body hasn’t been found yet!
But the corpse...the ghoul...
Eros sighed softly and reached out to rub the sobbing little head in front of him.
It seemed that Jessica should have noticed that those fresh roses were deliberately thrown away by Mrs. Jennifer.
The kind lady has been using her own implicit way to protect the poor self-esteem of the little girl in front of her.
But she herself was involved in a mysterious incident without knowing it, and her body was wiped out.
Looking at the sad little girl in front of him, Eros wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.
Could it be that he was told that Mrs. Jennifer would be fine?
This is nothing but self-deception.
In the end, Eros didn't say anything, just watched silently as the little girl in front of him sobbed.
After a while, Jessica raised her little face and forced out a smile:
"Mrs. Jennifer will be fine. She is such a kind-hearted person, and the great God will definitely protect her."
Eros still didn't speak, but just rubbed Jessica's head again.
There are so many people in the world, and it is impossible for gods to protect everyone.
After bidding farewell to Jessica, Eros continued walking along the street, and it didn't take long to inspect the entire street.
After that, he didn't stay outside for long and went straight to the West District Police Headquarters, which was not far away.
After arriving at the Special Operations Office, as soon as Eros entered the door, his shoulders were held by Peter:
"Conan, thank you so much for yesterday!"
When Peter said this, his face was full of fear.
Eros smiled slightly and said: "You should thank Ms. Vivian. She arrived before me and used holy water to help you remove part of the pollution."
Hearing what Eros said, David on the side let out a laugh and said:
"He also wanted to use the excuse of thanks to hug Vivian's shoulders!"
Eros raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Then what?"
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Peter coughed vigorously on the side.
But David ignored Peter's hint at all. He pouted at the wall on the other side and mocked:
"Then, before his hand even touched Vivian's shoulder, she knocked him away."
At this point, David was happy: "Have you not cleaned up the pollution from yesterday? Otherwise, why would you have made such an idiotic move?"
"You can also take advantage of Vivian?"
"Go, go, go, go!" Peter cursed angrily.
Eros looked towards where David indicated and saw a sunken human-shaped mark on the wall.
It seemed that Vivian's attack was quite heavy. Thinking of this, Eros turned his head and looked at Vivian who was leaning back on the chair on the other side, with a kind of destruction, I'm tired temperament all over his body.
As if she sensed that someone was looking at her, Vivian raised her eyelids, and then continued her posture.
Eros was a little surprised. She was not so depressed when he saw her yesterday.
Seeing this, David at the side lowered his voice and explained:
"I heard from Daisy that Vivian has to pay off the bank debt today."
So that's the case, Eros understood, no wonder she was so depressed, probably because she couldn't come up with the money.
The debt of 170,000 pounds is indeed a bit too much for a sequence 6.
Shaking his head, Eros withdrew his gaze from Vivian and fell on Peter again:
"Did you find anything yesterday?"
When Eros mentioned yesterday's incident, Peter said in a depressed tone:
"Didn't you have guests at home yesterday? In the afternoon, when I helped you patrol the area, I saw Sheriff Modi and several police officers investigating the disappearance of a florist."
"Then I went up to ask for the specific details. After hearing that the florist disappeared in the cemetery and that a corpse was stolen in the cemetery, I became suspicious."
Florist? Mrs. Jennifer? She really ran into someone from the Abyss Cult.
I just didn't expect that the reason why Peter was contaminated yesterday was actually related to her incident.
A trace of thought flashed in Eros' eyes. Peter, who was talking on the side, didn't notice the change in Eros' expression. He was still talking about his experience yesterday.
"So I ran to the cemetery and wanted to use the items related to the stolen bodies to perform spiritualism."
"Through spiritualism, I learned the details of the matter, but who knew that the matter was actually related to a supernatural person."
"Fortunately, I interrupted the spiritualism in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would really have to explain it there."
Hearing Peter's last sigh, Eros curled his lips.
Was it because you interrupted it quickly? That was because people didn't want to kill you at all.
Of course, he just complained in his heart and didn't say it out loud.
