Chapter 507 The other side of the ocean


    Duanmu Huai finally understood why the detectives in the movie, TV and game animation looked like salted fish.


    The reason is very simple, that is...


    Really idle! !


    At this moment, Duanmuhuai was leaning on the chair, looking at the horse racing on the TV in front of him, drinking Coke - well, he felt that he had the potential to evolve in the direction of a confused detective who liked to put on his hat.


    Why is this happening?


    Duanmu Huai couldn''t figure it out. The reason why he changed the first floor to an antique shop was to attract customers in a joint manner. After all, if someone really needs to buy something to exorcise evil, then there must be similar troubles. At that time, just let Lorena introduce it with the flow, will this customer come to the door?


    Isn’t it great if you eat two fish and kill two birds with one stone?


    Result... According to Lorena''s report, although the business of the antique shop below is not prosperous, it is considered to be a matter of fact. Most of the customers who come here will buy some items to exorcise evil spirits or housekeeping, and a small number of people even bought weapons to eliminate demons, but why no one came to find them?


    It is obvious that they have spent a lot of money to advertise on TV and newspapers. Could it be that they have been wasted?


    “………So that’s it. Is there anything you can pass the time here?”


    So there was no choice but Duanmu Huai had to call Anthony in the end to see if there was any case in the official position.


    After hearing Duanmu Huai''s complaints, Anthony was speechless.


    "So what you mean is, do you feel idle and want to find something to do?"


    "That''s right, I originally thought about opening a detective office, and there would definitely be many cases, but I was so idle... I was so bored. If there was something I couldn''t handle, how could I just introduce it to me?"


    While stroking the black cat and white rabbit in his arms, Duanmu Huai complained.


    "That''s right, but I don''t have so many cases here..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s request, Anthony rolled his eyes speechlessly. If this was an ordinary policeman’s job, various criminal cases would be indispensable every day. But how can there be such frequent U-level cases? If you really do one every day, wouldn’t it mean that people want to destroy the world every day?


    This is not what to look for the police, it is more reliable to find Ultraman.


    but………


    "There is a case that is indeed troublesome, but in other countries... have you heard of Jack the Ripper?"


    "Oh? I''ve heard of it."


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately cheered up.


    "In fact, there are currently a series of serial murders in Wudu. It is initially determined to be a U-level case, but it is difficult to solve. I heard that several investigators there have been dead... Since you like to find trouble so much, why don''t I give you a letter of introduction to Kaifeng, and you can go there?"


    U-level cases in this world are basically shared global intelligence, similar to the Interpol in the movie. After all, such cases are not like ordinary arms smuggling and drug trafficking. Even if they succeed, they will only harm a country. On the contrary, if these cults and other things are successful, they will basically be in trouble in the whole world.


    So in this case, this kind of transnational action is easier.


    After all, saving the world is the first priority.


    Of course, ordinary players do not have this kind of capital, after all... it is very expensive to go abroad. If you don’t throw the dice well at the beginning, you probably still consider where to beg for food now. How could you be in the mood to go abroad to conduct investigations and searches?


    "No problem, leave it to me."


    In the game, Duanmu Huai''s dice were thrown either well or badly, which was at the middle class level. So he mainly ran in China at that time, but now he is different. He is a rich second generation, rich and willful! What''s wrong with going abroad? Going abroad is also a joke! Hey, just play!


    Moreover, I have more experience in going abroad. Maybe I can get promoted to level C by myself when this mission is completed... Well, this is probably impossible.


    Forget it, it depends on the situation.


    Duanmu Huai wanted to act resolutely and after getting the introduction letter and a copy of the archives from Anthony, he immediately started to act.


    Going to the fog is not an easy task. After all, you have to go to the East Coast first and then cross the Atlantic Ocean. For ordinary people, this may not be a problem, but for Duanmu Huai, this is a big problem... The reason is very simple. With his body shape, what kind of transportation is better to take?


    Fortunately, the problems that can be solved with money these days are not problems. Soon, Duanmu Huai settled the matter of going to Wudu through his own channels.


    First, he would take the Pacific Railway train from Arkham to the west coast, and then take the Full Moon and Stars airship to Wudu.


    There is no way to choose these two means of transportation. The train space is small, but luckily there is a VIP carriage. As long as Duanmuhuai gives enough money, he can enjoy a car. Although the train is not fast, the scenery of three days and four nights is still interesting.


    The reason why you choose airships instead of airplanes or cruise ships is even more obvious.


    The plane is definitely not stuffed into. If he wants to sit, he can only take the cargo hold. As for the cruise ship - kidding, in a world with Cthulhu, do you have to take a boat on the sea?


    Courage is commendable, courage is commendable.


    In this way, the airship is a good choice.


    Its speed is slower than that of an airplane, but faster than a boat, and its space is relatively large, allowing Duanmuhuai to roll in comfortably. Importantly, airships are toys for rich people, which also ensures that there are not too many guests, which is relatively quiet and comfortable.


    Of course, the most important point is that the plane is not allowed to carry pets, and the airship can... So after everything was done, Duanmuhuai took Lorena, Lingnu and Tutu on the train to the West Coast. As for the maid, he was left to guard the house and responsible for the antique shop business - after all, all the money sold is all the money, and all the souls are collected are all the ones, and none of them can be left behind.


    I have to say that having money is good. Although I paid several times higher than an ordinary sleeper, Duanmuhuai obtained a separate luxury car, which was divided into two rooms, the guest room was located near the car door, and the rest was given to the master bedroom - well, although the space was not large, it was enough for Duanmuhuai to roll around.


    In addition, the service in the carriage itself is naturally the best. They can call and ask for food directly, and the waiter will deliver their meals to the carriage in person. This is also something Duanmu Huai likes very much. Otherwise, if he wants to squeeze into the dining car, it will really cost someone a life.


    After the train set off, Duanmuhuai lay on the bed, then opened the copy of the case file that Anthony faxed and looked carefully.


    Mudu.


    The history of this world is similar to that of Duanmuhuai, but there are also differences. For example, although the science in this world is relatively advanced, it has a bit of steampunk-like fun. The same is true for all fogs. He once saw players describe the scene there on the forum. According to those players, due to the large-scale development of industry, the entire island country was shrouded in smoke. They can''t even see what the real sky is. In that country, as long as they look up, they will always see dark clouds. Only in a very rare occasions, people can occasionally peek into a ray of sunshine and the sky through the gaps between the dark clouds.


    From the perspective of quality of life, it is definitely unhealthy. But if you want to experience the atmosphere, there is nothing more suitable than there.


    After all, the classic plot of watching detective films is that the detective wearing a windbreaker walks on the dark clouded streets and experiences the fun of Sherlock Holmes under the fog...


    OK, off topic, back on track.


    The Jack the Ripper mentioned by Anthony naturally cannot be really Jack the Ripper. He just used this name to name the case. Of course, this name is not a random choice. According to the report in the case file, since a few months ago, the fog has been murderous and murderous cases, and the time of the incident is basically late at night. The deceased were all girls. According to forensic identification, these people died on the spot by some kind of steel weapon.


    Initially, the police sent a large number of police forces to search, but there were no clues. Then several investigators and detectives volunteered to investigate, but basically they were alive and could not see the body.


    It is obvious that this case has exceeded the scope of Wudu police''s handling, so they also sent a message to brother institutions in other countries asking them to help themselves - after all, this is not an ordinary criminal case, and it is not embarrassing to lose.


    Or if you really lose, you will die together.


    Generally speaking, such cross-border cases are not easy to deal with. If Duanmuhuai hadn''t called Anthony to say that he was bored, Anthony wouldn''t have thought of this.


    "Um…………"


    Duanmuhuai opened the file and looked at the photos and information on it. Indeed, it’s no wonder that Jack the Ripper is called because all the victims are women, and they are all ripped open.


    But unlike Jack the Ripper in history, the victims were almost all very ordinary girls, not the kind of street girls. And according to forensic identification, they were not harmed during their lifetime...


    But...why is this?


    Looking at the photos of the murder scene, Duanmu Huai also looked confused. If it was done by cultists, then there should be some evil magic circles or spells nearby, but there is nothing here, which seems very unculter. Or is this group of people killing girls to obtain some kind of spell casting material from their bodies?


    Haha, is it the evil cultivator who steals the girl’s Yin Yuan?


    This is wrong...


    Forget it, you will know the situation then.


    Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai yawned, packed up the documents, and then listened to the "bang bang" train rhythm on the soft big bed, and slowly fell asleep.


    Soon, the night passed.


    "Dongdongdongdongdong, dudongdongdongdong."


    I don’t know how long it took, but the knock on the door sounded, interrupting Duanmuhuai’s dream. He frowned and turned on the desk lamp next to him.


    “Come in.”


    "Sorry for disturbing me, Mr. Knight."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, Lorena also walked in.


    "What''s wrong? What happened? It''s only...3 o''clock."


    Duanmu Huai glanced at his watch, it was still early.


    "That''s right. The police on the train came just now and wanted to ask us something."


    "Ask? What''s the matter?"


    "It seems... I heard that someone was killed on the train."


    “………???”


    Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was confused.


    Is this the Orient Express I am riding?


    Why did people die?
