Chapter 53 The Coming of Trouble
Sitting in the car, Du Luo looked Shalan up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that there was nothing wrong with Shalan.
Patting Shalan on the shoulder, Du Luo said with some emotion: "Shalan, I really didn't expect that you could defeat such a strong man so easily."
"I've already told you that I've been training as a knight with Uncle Hasid for some time now."
"That's what you said, but you never said you've become so strong. It's a pity that I didn't listen to you and put all my money on you. Otherwise, I would have been able to multiply the money four or five times. It's really a big loss."
Shrugging, Shalan said with a smile: "If you put your money on that chariot, you will really lose a lot."
"That's true. I saw a lot of people in the stands cursing that Ender Tank, saying that you made them lose a lot of money."
"Okay, I'm here. I'll get off now. Du Luo, remember to take a good look at my notes when you go home. Otherwise, if you fail so many subjects this time, I won't be able to help you cover up your lies."
"Oh okay, I get it. Why are you so long-winded now? Let's go."
After getting out of the car with his schoolbag and waving to Douluo in the car, Shalan walked towards his own manor on the other side of the road. However, just as he crossed the road and was about to ring the doorbell, someone suddenly stopped him.
Looking at the person who stopped her, Shalan said to him with a half-smile: "Inspector Luoshe, I didn't expect to see you here. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"
"Student Shalan, I came here mainly to look for you. Since you are not in the manor, there is naturally no need for me to go in."
"Oh? Didn't Inspector Luo She come to see my father? I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you. Inspector Luo She, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."
"Since you said so, I will speak frankly. I want to ask you, Shalan, whether you got anything from the deceased Jonathan. If so, please hand it over to the police. It is very likely that the thing is physical evidence related to multiple murders."
Hearing Luo She's words, Shalan immediately knew that the other party was looking for the copper bowl he got from Jonathan. He had been recovering from his injuries recently and did not study the thing. Instead, he placed it in a specially made metal lead box in the deepest part of the cabinet.
He conducted many experiments and found that mental power could not penetrate the metal lead box, so he used this method to store things that might have problems but Shalan did not want to throw away. This was a countermeasure that Shalan came up with after being affected by the curse on the stone.
As it turned out, after Shalan put the copper bowl into the lead box, he never heard the voice that bewitched him again.
If Shalan had not been involved in mental power and witchcraft, he might have just handed the strange copper bowl to Luo She. It was impossible for him to study the copper bowl. However, now he has opened his spiritual sea, generated mental power, and even learned the witchcraft of the Eye of Black Thunder, as well as the curse ability that made people dazed that he had obtained from the stone before. Shalan did not want to hand over this thing before he started studying the copper bowl.
"I'm sorry, Inspector Luo She, I really didn't see anything special. If I remembered it, I would definitely send it to you. But I would like to ask, how many people did Jonathan kill that made you treat him like a formidable enemy?"
Luo She was not dissatisfied with Shallan's refusal. Although he knew that Shallan must have Jonathan's things in his hands, Luo She did not intend to say much. He has always been a very sensible person, which is why he was able to hold the position of detective in Cynthia City at such a young age.
"Jonathan committed a heinous crime. He killed a total of 17 people. You know one of them. He is Nano, the son of Fred, the former mayor of Cynthia, who has been missing for a long time."
With an eyebrow raised, Shalan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Inspector Luoshe. You have spent a lot of energy to protect us, the residents of Xinxia City."
Shaking his head, Luo She looked at Sha Lan with a half-smile and said, "It's my job to spend energy, but it's a pity that some residents are too wary of us and don't cooperate with us. This makes us sad and upset."
Luo She's words were pointed, and Sha Lan understood them clearly, but he just ignored them and said with a dumb smile, "Yes, people like this are indeed not doing well. If they knew what you, Inspector Luo She, think, they would change their minds and help you."
"I hope so... Well, I won't bother you anymore, Shalan-san. Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Inspector Locher."
After saying this, Shalan turned around, rang the doorbell, and walked into the manor.
After Shalan left, Luo She got into a police car parked nearby. When he sat in the passenger seat, his deputy Bob, who was sitting next to him in the driver's seat, said to Luo She, "Boss, isn't the thing with him?"
"No, the thing is in his hand. I can feel it clearly."
"Then why didn't you take it back?"
"Not until he wants to give us the stuff."
"What? That's evidence. Hiding evidence is illegal. Does he really dare to do this to my mother?"
"So what can you do? Even if I can feel that he has that thing in his hand, even if we know that he has violated the law by hiding it, do you have evidence? If there is no evidence, what can we do?"
After listening to Luo She's words, Bob was stunned for a moment, and said with an extremely unwilling look on his face: "Are we just giving up like this?"
"Let's give up on him for now. The evidence we have now is enough to convict the dead Jonathan. Besides, this matter is ultimately related to the Taro Farma cult. Tell the Secret Mobile Team about this. I think killing a team of Taro Farma cult members from the Secret Mobile Team should be enough to get them to come here to investigate this matter. When we tell the Secret Mobile Team about the existence of that thing, I think our classmate Shalan should not be able to stop the Secret Mobile Team's investigation."
When Bob heard what Luo She said, his eyes lit up and he chuckled, "Boss, you really deserve the nickname Silver Fox. You are really insidious."
"Tsk, you guy, are you praising me or scolding me?"
