Chapter 487 Investigation begins
Sitting in the carriage, Duanmu Huai was really speechless.
The maid was responsible for driving, and Lorena sat in the passenger seat, and naturally he could only sit in the container.
That’s right, this is just a container!
The inside is empty, not even a chair! Duanmuhuai could only sit cross-legged with a blanket, it was fine. There were two windows on both sides of the container, but I don’t know what this thing was originally for, but there were actually black and thick iron fences embedded on the windows!
Damn, is this a person sitting on it? You can''t be a circus transporting lions and tigers?
Not to mention anything else, Duanmu Huai just felt that this was the pure malicious intention given to him by this broken system...
The background of this world is 2000, which happens to be modern, but unfortunately it is limited. Duanmu Huai has a cell phone, and he also called the other party. However, for some reason, no one answered the phone...
OK, it''s not surprising to unfold normally.
In the evening, the maid drove a heavy truck and finally arrived at a villa in the suburbs. Several cars were parked at the gate, but the entire courtyard was empty. If the villa was not brightly lit, Duanmuhuai would even think he had come to the wrong place.
However, according to the address on the envelope, it should be right here.
After parking the car, Duanmuhuai also came out of the container and met with the maid and Lorena.
"Is this the venue for the banquet? Lord Knight? Why does it look like there is no one?"
"It''s normal, I''d still find it strange if someone is."
Hearing Luolena''s curious inquiry, Duanmuhuai answered indifferently. Then he sorted out his clothes and then walked towards the main entrance of the villa with big strides.
The entire villa is brightly lit, with lights on everywhere, and you can even hear the faint sound of music coming from inside. However, on the contrary, looking around, there is no one who can see everywhere. The main entrance was not closed to death, but a gap was revealed. Duanmuhuai reached out to push open the door without any attention, and then walked into the hall.
“————”
At the same time, the music suddenly stopped, Duanmuhuai walked into the house with his maid and Lorena, and then closed the door. At this moment, there was a dead silence in the villa, only their footsteps echoed in the corridor.
"What''s going on here? Lord Knight?"
Although Duanmu Huai gave Lorena a vaccine on the way, this scene still surprised Lorena at this moment.
"God knows, but I think we just need to investigate everywhere and we should know what happened."
Duanmu Huai said as he looked around. In the entire hall, a table is placed near the corner of the wall with phones and notes on it, and on the other side is a twisted, weird starry sky painting. Duanmuhuai reached out and picked up the paper on the table. He found that it was all invitation letters. It was obvious that it was the guests who came here before him, but whether they were still alive now is probably a question.
The drawer under the table was locked and could not be opened at all, but of course it was not difficult for Duanmuhuai to reach out and pull it out. With a "click", the locked drawer was pulled out by Duanmuhuai.
"King Master? Is it not good for us to mess around with other people''s things like this?"
Seeing Duanmuhuai do this, Lorena immediately asked with some anxiety, while Duanmuhuai shook her head.
"This is also part of the investigation, provided that the owner of this house can still complain to me alive."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai flipped the drawer - but there was indeed nothing particularly noteworthy inside.
"Meow---!"
At this moment, the black cat transformed from a bell girl suddenly jumped up and jumped onto Duanmuhuai''s shoulder. Then it turned to the door on the left hand side of the gate and let out a low roar. When Duanmu Huai noticed the reaction of Lingnu, Duanmu Huai immediately put down the debris in her hand and came to the door. Then he made a gesture to Luo Lena and the maid, signaling them to follow him. Then Duanmu Huai reached out and opened the door.
What appeared in front of Duanmuhuai was a magnificent restaurant with all kinds of delicious food on the long dining table. However, in one corner of the restaurant, a strange, twisted creature was curled up there with its back facing them, wearing shabby clothes and its skin looked like dark rubber. It made an uncomfortable and vague sound.
The sound of Duanmuhuai opening the door naturally attracted the attention of the monster. It turned its head and exposed its elongated face like a wild dog to Duanmuhuai. Its upper half of its face was similar to a human, but its mouth was stretched long like a dog, stretching from its face, and it could even clearly see the long tongue and sharp teeth stained with blood.
The moment they saw each other, both sides were stunned for a moment, and at the same time, a line of system prompts appeared in front of Duanmu Huai''s eyes. [The ghoul saw you]
[Looking straight at you made the ghoul lose 9 points of sanity]
[Ghosts are in panic]
[The ghoul fell into a crazy attack]
“………Damn it!!”
Seeing the system prompts in this line, Duanmuhuai''s face suddenly turned black. At the same time, the strange, twisted, and terrifying monster screamed, then turned directly to pounce on Duanmuhuai. It opened its mouth, made a harsh scream, and stretched out its hands with sharp claws.
Faced with the attack of the ghoul, Duanmuhuai roared and pounced directly on, grabbed its head, and then pulled it hard. The next moment, the ghoul''s rubber-like hard skin was torn apart, and the dark and smelly blood was sprayed out, and the ghoul''s head was torn off from its neck by Duanmuhuai and threw it aside.
Then Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and threw the ghoul''s body to the ground.
"Damn, this is a fool who is fooling me?!"
Looking at the system prompt in front of me, Duanmu Huai was unhappy with one hundred people, what does it mean? What does it mean to see me surrendering my reason? Is it true that I have become an indescribable existence in their eyes? Damn, this is a slander against me! This is a naked insult!
Duanmu Huai calmed down his anger, then walked to the corner of the wall, wanting to see what the ghoul was doing here just now. When Duanmuhuai came to the corner of the wall, what he saw was a **** corpse. His entire belly had been broken, and the venue was directly pulled all over the ground. It was obvious that the ghoul was enjoying its delicious meal just now.
Judging from the clothes worn by the victim, he seemed to be the chef here - but now he has become a food himself.
There is also a bunch of keys hanging around the chef''s neck. Logically speaking, this should be used to open the door, but Duanmuhuai doesn''t need to be such a trouble. Just knock the locked door open directly. If you can''t open the door, you can hit the wall. I''m so willful! Who are you afraid of?
"Let''s see if you can find anything nearby."
Duanmu Huai turned his head and said to the maid and Lorena. The latter nodded as well, and then began to search the entire restaurant. At the same time, the black cat squatting on Duanmuhuai''s shoulder seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes lit up. Then it jumped down from Duanmuhuai''s body and came to the side of the ghoul who had been killed by Duanmuhuai before. Then it flipped over it a few times, then the black cat turned around and ran back to Duanmuhuai''s side, putting a pocket watch in front of him.
"Pocket watch??"
Duanmu Huai picked up the pocket watch in confusion and opened it and then closed it, but no matter how he looked at it, it was an ordinary pocket watch. Apart from the two letters "M.H" engraved on it, there seemed to be nothing special here.
Of course, if it is just an ordinary incident, Duanmu Huai is too lazy to care about these things. He will kill people and kill Buddha directly. Unfortunately, the requirements of this linkage activity task are very clear - players not only have to solve the problem, but also have to find enough clues and evidence to convict in the process. The more clues and evidence, the higher the task evaluation.
On the contrary, if you are blind and rush over and kill the Demon King, you will probably not give you one.
So Duanmuhuai thought with a pocket watch, then came to the table in the hall again, and compared it with the invitation letters there one by one. Sure enough, he found a clue - there was a picture merchant named Mullis White on the invitation letter, and his life abbreviation was M.H, so if that''s right, then the ghoul he killed was him.
Well, that is, some of the guests who came here before me have been transformed into ghouls... Well, now I don''t know if this is a curse or part of the ritual.
In short, it is definitely not a good thing.
At this moment, Lorena and the maid also came back one after another, saying that they had not found anything particularly worthy of attention in the restaurant and kitchen. However, when the maid opened the refrigerator, she found that there were some strange things that looked like biological specimens in it... It was obvious that it was not something that should be placed in the kitchen.
"Oh? Show me?"
Hearing the maid''s answer, Duanmuhuai came to the kitchen refrigerator next to the restaurant curiously, and then opened the refrigerator. Then he immediately saw a few glass bottles that looked about the size of cans in the fresh-keeping layer of the refrigerator. The liquid inside looked a little cloudy, and what was soaked in the liquid were some weird things that looked very disgusting. Their appearance looked like dead babies, curled up in a ball and were soaked in the liquid. But what I have to say is that these "babies" are only about the same size as cicada insects, and they look quite mini and small.
Well, what are you doing when you put this thing in the refrigerator in the kitchen? Could it be that the chef is planning to use this thing as personal ginseng fruit?
Duanmuhuai fiddled with this thing, but even the system did not give him the answer, so he stuffed the thing back into the refrigerator.
"Okay, let''s go to other rooms and see, and maybe there will be other gains."
