Chapter 509 Abandoned Station (I’ll ask for monthly tickets for the new month)


    Philip is gone.


    According to the woman, after she discovered that her teacher was missing last night, she immediately brought the flight attendant to Philip. He was still in the room and looked very innocent in the face of the woman''s questioning. But he was not seen since this morning. After asking the flight attendant, he learned that Philip had not appeared since this morning.


    Oh, this is interesting.


    Two people disappeared on the speeding train in a row, which is more interesting than Conan''s case. Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn''t have to consider any tricks or other things. When he learned that Philip had a relationship with Yinmu''s hut, he guessed that the other party was probably a cult. If he expected it was not bad, then the woman''s teacher reporter must have been threatened by the other party when he gave Philip the exclusive interview this time, so he left the same message to the woman after he came back.


    As for why the reporter disappeared, it is not complicated. If Philip was really a cultist, he would definitely use evil magic.


    As for why he disappeared... Could it be that he was fleeing for fear of guilt?


    I have to say that after learning that two people had disappeared in a row, the crew members on the train also began to become uneasy. Fortunately, according to the flight attendant, they would stop at a temporary station today. Duanmuhuai also decided to call Anthony after arriving at the station and asked him to investigate Philip. I have to say that the communication methods of this era are really speechless. Although there are communication equipment similar to mobile phones, there is only signal in the city. Once you enter the deep mountains and forests or in the Gobi desert like this, there is no way to use it.


    In the final analysis, you have to make a wired phone.


    To be on the safe side, Duanmu Huai also investigated Philip''s room, but it was empty and there was nothing, no salute or clothes, as if no one lived in this room from the beginning.


    It’s another old trick of cultists, and Duanmu Huai is tired of watching it.


    But it is obvious that the troublesome thing is not just that.


    When the train arrives at the temporary station, troubles arise again.


    "Mr. Detective, there seems to be something wrong here..."


    “No?”


    Duanmu Huai was a little surprised when he heard the flight attendant''s words, but when he walked out of the car and came to the station, he understood what the flight attendant said meant.


    I saw that the entire temporary station was dilapidated, with traces of decay and erosion everywhere. This was no longer as simple as neglecting management and maintenance, but it was just like it had been abandoned for decades.


    "That''s what your station is?"


    Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at the flight attendant, who shook his head desperately.


    "Of course not, this gentleman, we have just been here before, and it was obviously not like this at that time!"


    Hearing the flight attendant''s words, Duanmuhuai looked around. At the moment, there was a Gobi desert here, with darkness everywhere around it, and the sky was covered with clouds, and even a trace of sunshine could not be seen, as if a storm was about to come. Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai reached out, touched the head of the little white rabbit that was poked out of his pocket, and patted the black cat''s head.


    "Let''s go in and take a look."


    Then he spoke.


    According to the flight attendant, this temporary station is not responsible for transporting customers. It is mainly responsible for the supply and maintenance of the train. It is also to allow passengers to come out to relax after sitting for a long time. Therefore, the station itself is not big. Apart from one platform, there is only a two-story building behind the platform. Of course, this building looks like it is weathered and frost-bearing, like a cultural relic hundreds of years ago...


    "Squeak——"


    Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and a harsh noise suddenly sounded. The dust came over me, causing everyone around me to take a step back.


    "Cough, cough cough..."


    Duanmuhuai also reached out, slap the gray in front of her, and then looked at it.


    The building is also in a mess, with a counter in the middle, and on the counter, there is a person lying on it.


    "teacher?!"


    Seeing that person, the woman who was originally hiding behind Duanmuhuai screamed immediately, and then she hurried into the small building and ran towards the counter.


    "Teacher, what''s wrong with you, teacher? Be cheer up———!!"


    However, before the woman finished speaking, she suddenly turned into a shrill scream. Hearing this scream, Duanmu Huai and Luolena hurriedly accelerated their pace and rushed to the woman.


    Just after taking a look at the figure, Duanmu Huai immediately understood why the woman screamed. The reason was very simple. The one lying on the counter was a skeleton!


    Before, because the light in the hut was dim, I could only barely see the clothes and outlines clearly, so the woman admitted her mistake. When I got closer, I saw it... Well, naturally, the true face of Mount Lu was revealed.


    "Are you sure this is your teacher?"


    Duanmuhuai looked at the shriveled, almost skinny mummy skeleton in front of him and asked in confusion, while the woman nodded tremblingly.


    "Big, probably... because the teacher wore this way before he disappeared, and the coat was customized, and there was an NS mark on the collar..."


    Hearing the woman''s answer, Duanmuhuai did not hesitate. He directly reached out and grabbed the skeleton, then turned on his collar, and indeed saw the words NS embroidered on the inside of the collar.


    Then Duanmu Huai also found items such as wallets and lighters in his clothes. Well, judging from the identity information inside, it was indeed the woman''s miserable teacher who did not run away.


    But the problem is... time doesn''t match!


    According to the woman, it has been no more than twenty-four hours since her teacher disappeared last night until now, but judging from the current situation of this body, it has been at least twenty-four years.


    So the most reasonable possibility is that someone took off her teacher''s clothes and put them on the body. Then, tracing the root of the story is that the woman''s teacher made a mistake many years ago and killed the victim. Then the victim''s family hid in the train for revenge, and then found a way to create this series of events...


    Well, that''s the set of Detective Conan.


    But unfortunately, the cultists don’t talk about science to you.


    Ke Xue is not good either.


    The only evidence mentioned is the record in the diary held in the hand of the corpse.


    According to records in the diary, the reporter did wake up in the middle of the night, but the train did not move forward at that time, but stopped at a station. The reporter became addicted to smoking, so he went out to smoke a cigarette. Then when he turned around after smoking, he realized that the train that had been behind him had disappeared.


    So the reporter was stunned. He searched around the station inside and outside, but found nothing, and there was no one here. But the reporter did not give up. He decided to hike out of the station early the next morning and go directly to the next station along the railway tracks.


    result………


    "I didn''t know how long I walked along the rails, but I still returned here. I couldn''t leave this place at all. I knew I was cursed, and all this was done by Philip! I would never let him go...!"


    “What should I do next?”


    After reading the diary, Duanmu Huai didn''t say much. This diary was also a clue of evidence. As for the body... "Take it in the car and report it to the police station for appraisal when you get to the local area."


    That''s right, is it me that I can just ask the police station for DNA identification? Think about it better, this person is at least much better than the dozen unlucky guys in the museum. At least he can restrain his body and find a cemetery to bury him in the future. Those more than a dozen unlucky guys who were eaten by empty ghosts really won''t live or die or die.


    Although reluctant, the flight attendant still found a wooden box and put the body in as Duanmuhuai''s request, and then moved it to the warehouse where the goods were stored. Then a group of people hurriedly left the station, and soon the train set off again and drove forward.


    "I really didn''t expect that Mr. Journalist would die so miserably..."


    Back in the carriage, Rolena couldn''t help but sigh.


    "Did that also Mr. Philip do it?"


    "Maybe, at least he is not alive and dead, and he must be more suspicious than the unlucky reporter who has found the body."


    Duanmuhuai took a sip of black tea and said lightly. He originally wanted to call Anthony to investigate Philip at that station, but...well, it would be strange if a station that has been abandoned for decades.


    But where did Philip go?


    Duanmu Huai always felt that this matter was not that simple. The other party spent so much effort to kill someone on this train and silence him, and he was obviously prepared. But just because of this, it is very unreasonable. Assuming that Philip really used evil magic to kill people, the police would have no choice but to do anything to him without evidence. But this time he ran away, wouldn’t it be like throwing all the suspicions on him?


    This is like a car accident. It’s okay if you park on the side of the road and accept the punishment. You have to escape directly. No matter whether it is your responsibility or not, isn’t it your responsibility?


    “————”


    However, just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, suddenly, a black shadow flew past the window. Duanmu Huai raised his eyes and glanced at it, then was stunned.


    Um?


    "What''s wrong? Mr. Knight??"


    Seeing Duanmuhuai''s reaction, Lorena asked curiously, while Duanmuhuai shook her head, said nothing, but just looked out the window quietly. Outside the train window is a dry Gobi desert, with thick fog almost covering the entire earth and nothing can be seen. Duanmu Huai just stared out the window, motionless.


    After a long time, suddenly, another black shadow passed by Duanmu Huai’s eyes!


    Seeing the black shadow, Duanmu Huai hurriedly stood up. If he read it correctly, it was the station where he was waiting for him before!


    “Dongdongdongdongdongdong!”


    At this moment, suddenly, a knock on the door sounded, and then the sound of the flight attendant came from it.


    "Mr. Detective, something big happened!"


    When he arrived at the cockpit, Duanmuhuai quickly understood the flight attendant''s meaning.


    Just like he saw it.


    According to the driver''s wishes, after leaving the station, the train continues to move forward, and then enters a tunnel, then exits the tunnel and goes to the other side. But after leaving the station, they drove for four or five hours without seeing the shadow of the tunnel. Not only that, they also found that they seemed to be driving back in front of the station!


    The first time they felt that they were dazzled, but the next second... they finally couldn''t hold on.


    "Okay, is there any problem..."


    At this moment, the driver also looked out the window with a pale face, with blue lips. The flight attendant also nodded beside him, then looked at Duanmu Huai uneasyly.


    "Can it be because of that corpse? Should we send it back..."


    "Send it back? Where to send it back?"


    Duanmu Huai glared at the flight attendant coldly, almost scaring the other party down. Then he turned his head and looked out the window.


    "Keep going! I''ll find a way!"


    "yes…………"


    Logically speaking, the flight attendant and the driver certainly don’t have to listen to Duanmuhuai, an outsider, but the situation is strange now, and Duanmuhuai is so powerful that they can only bite the bullet and follow the other party’s words.


    "Bang bang bang bang..."


    The train was still moving forward. In the thick fog, everyone could not see anything. Even with the headlights, they could only see the railway tracks extending from the fog, and the dry earth on both sides...


    “Huh———!”


    Finally, the broken station appeared again from the thick fog!


    Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai brows up, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly! Then, a terrifying aura suddenly burst out from Duanmu Huai''s body!


    "roll!"


    "ah----!!"


    Just as Duanmu Huai shouted, suddenly, a scream like a beast came from outside, followed by a "bang" sound, and the train seemed to hit something. The train driver was also experienced and hurriedly pulled down the brakes. With the harsh friction sound, the train slowly stopped after driving forward for a while.


    “………………”


    At this moment, everyone in the cab looked at me and I looked at you, and in the end Duanmuhuai broke the silence.


    "What''s going on? Just go down and take a look."


    As I walked off the train, the scene in front of me was incredible. From the wheels in front of the train to the rails behind, there were crushing and torn broken limbs and blurred fragments of flesh and blood everywhere. Seeing this scene, everyone''s faces turned pale, and the flight attendant turned his head and rushed to the side with disgust and started to vomit.


    However, Duanmu Huai obviously didn''t care about such trivial matters. He walked to the side of the wheel and pulled out a wisp of the clothes. Although only one piece of clothes was left, from the touch and materials he started, it was obviously very sophisticated. And in the pocket of the wreckage of the coat, Duanmuhuai also found a business card.


    "Mr. Knight, what have you found?"


    At this moment, Lorena also came over curiously, while Duanmu Huai turned around and lit up the business card in her hand.


    "It seems that we have found a second missing person."


    ?Today, someone came to eat hot pot. My cat ate a lot of meat, and my belly was as old as six months old.


    ??


    ?
