I’m A Detective In The Beauty World

A round of light emitting sparks appeared out of thin air in Shelley's dormitory. After Sharon came out from the inside, his eyes immediately fell on Shelley who was asleep at the desk.

I saw her resting on her arm, the laptop in front of her screen was still on. It was obvious that she was tired of surfing the Internet, so she fell asleep unknowingly. However, looking at Shelley's twitching shoulders and her frowning eyebrows, we can see that her sleep quality must not be very good.

Xie Lun stretched out his hand and pressed it on Shelley's shoulder, just about to enter her dream, but he didn't expect that as soon as his fingers fell on Shelley's clothes, Shelley suddenly opened his eyes.

"Brother?"

Shelley looked at Xie Lun with a blurred look. After a while, she reacted and suddenly jumped up and threw herself into Xie Lun's arms.

"Brother, it's really you, my God, you finally came back." Shelley hugged Xie Lun tightly, her voice choked, "You don't know, I'm so scared, I'm really scared..."

Xie Lun stroked Shelley's hair, softly comforting: "Don't be afraid, I am here, no matter what happens, brother, I will solve it."

Shelley nodded vigorously, still holding Xie Lun tightly and not letting go.

But Xie Lun felt a little embarrassed, because Shelley was only wearing a thin pajamas. She hugged so tightly that she could feel that she didn't wear any underwear under her pajamas.

"Unknowingly, the little girl who can only follow and cry, has grown up now."

Xie Lun sighed and pushed Shelley away carefully. At this moment, Xie Lun realized that Shelly had fallen asleep again in just a short time. He hurriedly sensed for a moment, and made sure that Shelley's dream was okay, and then he was relieved.

It seemed that Shelley hadn't rested for a few days, and now she suddenly saw Xie Lun, relaxed, and quickly entered sleep.

Xie Lun embraced Shelley and put her gently on the bed, trying to pull the quilt over to cover her. Unexpectedly, Shelley's little hand grabbed his sleeves and murmured in his mouth: "Brother, don't leave me anymore...Brother, I'm so scared..."

Xie Lun sighed, leaned down, and said softly: "Sleep at ease, Shelley, brother is by your side, not going anywhere."

Perhaps after hearing Sharon's words, Shelley's mouth showed a smile, and after a while, she snored slightly, but the hand holding his sleeve was still not released.

"This girl..."

Xie Lun shook his head helplessly, and could only stretch out the hand that was not held by Shelley, and pulled the quilt over and covered Shelley's body. After he was done, he sat down by the bed, letting Shelly pull his sleeves, turning his head to look around.

Soon Sharon's attention was attracted by the laptop. He waved at random, and the laptop flew up out of thin air and landed in front of him.

"The church that Washington has built over the years?"

Xie Lun frowned.

He knew very well that although Shelley also followed Hollis to church, it was more of a daily task for her, so she was not a believer at all.

But Shelley, who never took the initiative to go to the church, why did he search for the church?

Xie Lun slid the window, carefully watching the searched content. But at the end, he didn't see any problems. Before the founding of the United States, there were churches in Washington DC, and with the development of the city, thousands of churches with different file sizes were built. Among them, more than one hundred churches were destroyed or demolished because of wars, natural disasters or other accidents.

"I don't see any problems, what is she looking for?"

Xie Lun frowned, looked back at Shelley, and saw that she was still smiling and falling asleep, so she decided to wait until she woke up to ask.

He just wanted to return the notebook to the table, when a flash of light flashed in his mind, he grabbed the notebook again with his backhand. Quickly glanced aside again, Xie Lun opened his eyes slightly.

Of the thousands of churches, none of them are in the high-end neighborhoods where the James and his wife lived.

Logically speaking, this situation is impossible.

The United States, which seems to be pursuing freedom, is actually very religious, and going to church every week has even become a hidden rule. Many immigrants have to change their beliefs in order to integrate into the United States society as soon as possible.

So in order to express one's piety, in addition to donating money to the Holy See, the most important thing is to raise money to build a church. What's more, the high-end community where the James and his wife live, the file size of the church, the luxurious decoration, and the priesthood are all related to their faces.

However, according to the information searched on the Internet, not only is there no church there, it has never been built before.

"Something's wrong." Xie Lun looked back at Shelley again, "Could it be that you also noticed this abnormality, so you searched the Internet? But why did you notice this? Could it be... something to do with your nightmare?"

He thought for a while, took out his cell phone, no matter it was two o'clock in the morning, he called James directly. Ten seconds later, when the call was connected, James was a little tired and said: "Boy, although you successfully sent the three Ethans back, it is not the reason for you to call me at this point."

"Why is there no church in the neighborhood where you live?"

Xie Lun asked bluntly.

There was silence on the phone, and after a while, James hesitated and said: "You call me so late to ask this?"

Xie Lun said coldly: "I have an accident with Shelley. I suspect that these two things are related."

"Shelley?"

There was a scream from a woman who was young, obviously not Aunt Hollis. Then there was a murmur, and then the door closed, and James was a little out of breath and said: "What's wrong with her?"

Sharon didn’t bother to care about James’ private life, and said in a deep voice: “She is trembling in the nightmare, and I’m trying to find out the reason. James, I’ll ask you again, there is no church in your community, is there anything to do with this incident? ?"

"Damn it, it shouldn't be, she is eighteen years old..." James said in a flustered tone, "Are you with Shelley now? When did you return home? Where are you now?"

Xie Lun frowned and said coldly: "James, you have something to hide from me? If it's something else, forget it, but this matter is related to Shelley. You'd better tell me the truth, otherwise...you know My temper."

"Calm down, Sharon, calm down for me." James took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. "It's not that I won't tell you, but there is no way to tell."

"Involving state secrets?"

"That's not true."

"That is threatened?"

"In a sense... yes."

"If you say it, will you be threatened, or Shelley?"

"Shelley!" James said gravely, "The reason we block this secret is to protect children like her."

"You?" Xie Lun narrowed his eyes. "Don't you say, the adults in the entire community know this secret?"

James sighed: "Except for our group of people back then, no one who moved in afterwards knows."

"It has something to do with the disappearance of Ward in eleven years, right?"

Xie Lun suddenly thought of this.

James' heavy Roar sucked from the phone: "Anyway, I will take care of this. Sharon, your task now is to be optimistic about Shelley, and don't let her fall asleep again."
