Chapter 515 Wudu
After that, Dr. Rose, who was smashed to death by Lorena''s book, melted directly, turned into a liquid that looked like oil and disappeared into the air, while Arthur was **** and locked up in the room.
After this, the captain finally repaired the radio and contacted the police in Wudu.
Then, after the group arrived in Wudu, Arthur, who was detained, was taken away by the police, and Duanmu Huai also handed over his investigation report, which came to an end.
Of course, he also met the police representatives in Wudu.
"I heard about you from Sheriff Anthony, but I didn''t expect you to be really amazing and have done so many things before you even came."
Sitting in front of Duanmuhuai was a short and fat middle-aged man with a mustache and looks quite rich. He bit a cigarette and looked at Duanmuhuai with a helpless smile. And in front of his table, there was a famous brand - G. Restrade.
"Okay, don''t look at that."
Steel Restrade sighed helplessly when he noticed Duanmuhuai''s gaze.
"I know what you want to say. I don''t look like a short, strong trumpet dog, and I don''t have a friend named Sherlock Holmes."
"I didn''t say anything."
Duanmu Huai smiled and withdrew his gaze.
“About that U-level case…”
"Well, that''s what I want to say."
Sheriff Restrade also restrained his expression.
"Before I came here, another case occurred. To be honest, I think it would be difficult for Sherlock Holmes to solve such a strange case."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a file.
"The case happened in the evening of the 12th. The witness was a plumber. He had just finished the repair work and walked out of his employer''s house. Then he saw a body floating on the river in front of him. Then he called the police in panic."
"So, the problem is?"
"The problem is that according to her friend''s words, the victim disappeared suddenly. They were wandering around the streets and shopping. Because there were too many people, she never saw her friend again. From the time point of view, from the disappearance of her friend to the discovery of the body, it was not the point."
"oh?"
"The key point is that due to the many murders in recent days, our police have set up several patrols to patrol every street, especially the streets near the river. The street she disappeared was even more focused on because it was a place where young girls often go, but the problem is that I asked the police officers in charge of that street at that time, and they said in unison that they had never seen this lady."
Speaking of this, Sheriff Restrade took a deep breath of cigarette and then crushed the cigarette **** into the ashtray.
"Look, things are so strange, just like the victim''s separation from his friends and evaporates the world."
“Where is the surveillance?”
“No gain.”
Restrade said, frowned.
"To be honest, the situation is not good now. Let''s not talk about those news newspapers for the time being. If this continues, we may have to issue a curfew... Of course, the director does not agree with this."
This is also normal. It is a big deal for any country to carry out a curfew without a war. If others know that Wu is issued a curfew because of a serial murderer who cannot be caught, he may also laugh at the lack of anyone in Scotland Yard...
"I heard that you have also commissioned several investigators. Have they found any clues?"
"No, in fact, I don''t know if they have any clues to investigate, at least there are no discoveries on their bodies. But..."
Speaking of this, Sheriff Restrade raised his head and looked up and down at Duanmuhuai.
"I''m still quite confident in you."
“That’s really thankful.”
After a few more conversations, Lestrade stamped Duanmuhuai''s investigator''s ID, which means Duanmuhuai has officially qualified to conduct an investigation here. Then Duanmuhuai turned around and left the police station and returned to the street.
“Huh……”
Standing on the streets of Wudu, Duanmuhuai took a deep breath. It has to be said that the air here does have a cold and heavy smell. It was not just because of pollution, but more like the whole fog was immersed in an indescribable darkness and depravity - well, if you want to say it, Duanmu Huai felt that this was somewhat similar to Aldolph.
The dark city and the cold air, although it looks crowded on the surface, always give people a feeling of coldness and alienation. It was as if everything in this city released its dark side, leaving them in a dark shadow...
"Mr. Knight, this city always gives me a bad feeling, as if some evil aura takes root and sprouts here..."
Even Lorena feels this way.
"Yes, I began to regret it. Was it a mistake for me to open a store in Arkham?"
Duanmu Huai also sighed silently. He initially chose to open a shop in Arkham because of the holy land tour and Mida University. After all, in Duanmu Huai''s view, there must be a lot of things with Mida University.
However, the fact slapped him in the face. No wonder, on the way to Wudu, Duanmu Huai thought about it carefully and realized that Arkham was in the New World in the final analysis. The history of the country is more than 200 years, and there are no traces of civilization at all. Although Mida University was dying, but after thinking about it carefully, they all went to other places to get archaeological problems before bringing back the evil things.
To put it bluntly, it is a second-hand dealer.
Opening a store in Arkham is like turning to second-hand...
But the Old Continent is different. The human civilization here can be traced back thousands of years ago. In addition to the dark medieval times, cult worship, witch hunting, etc. To put it bluntly, the base of cultists here must be greater than that of the New Continent. After all, even if the New Continent does not care enough in this regard, if you say you want to find cultists, it must be easier for the Old Continent, right?
After all, rats have to go to the garbage dump to look for them. It’s not that you can search for them in the Gobi Desert, but whether they can find them is another matter.
"Mr. Knight, where are we going next?"
"Anyway, find a place to live first. If it really doesn''t work, I have to consider moving..."
Duanmu Huai sighed silently. He had called back to ask the maid just now, but the answer he got was desperate. The shop below could have two or three customers coming to the door a day, but there was not even half of the commission. Even the calls came over were basically called the wrong number... It was simply desperate.
Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai raised his head and looked at the sky in front of him - it turns out that dark clouds are pressing down on him, and there is no sunshine at all. I heard that this has been the case since the Industrial Revolution. In the end, I don’t know where the problem was. In short, a vortex-like situation seemed to have formed here, causing a large amount of smoke and dust to hover over the sky, and finally formed such a huge cloud covering the entire country all year round, like a pot lid.
Duanmuhuai also saw it on the airship. When looking down from the sky, you can clearly see the dark clouds like a huge vortex covering the entire country. I heard that many people in this country have never seen the blue sky and sun since they were born. Only when they traveled will they have the opportunity to experience a different scenery...
Well, Duanmu Huai couldn''t imagine what it was like.
Of course, you have to find a good place to move. This time you have to choose well. You must not slap your head like Arkham - and then you are confused.
It’s not OK to have any trouble.
In fact, although the job of an investigator is similar to that of a detective, it is strictly speaking much simpler than a detective, and the reason is also very simple. What detectives have to face are more normal criminal cases. In these cases, criminals usually choose to hide themselves after committing the crime, and may not commit the crime again. Just like Jack the Ripper, he probably stopped after he had enough fun, and then the police were stunned. In the end, this turned into a world-famous headless unsolved case. No one knew who Jack the Ripper was, and even a man or a woman.
So in this case, the detective is under great pressure. After all, if he can''t find the prisoner, the other party might end up being at a loss.
But cultists are different. Whether it is stealing, killing, or setting fires. In the end, the purpose of these cultists is to make big news, so many times if players really don’t have the brain of Sherlock Holmes, they will not know how to decrypt, and they are even more lazy to unlock the lock, so they simply find a cult to stare at it, and when it finally chooses to summon the evil **** or something, they jump out and clean up them all.
This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai was so calm on the airship. As he said, the other party’s criminal method was so rough, and you could tell at a glance that he didn’t think about letting them live. The facts also proved that Duanmu Huai guessed correctly. The two idiots were still counting on using the entire airship as sacrifice to summon Naiya. Someone is going to ask, since that''s the case, why do you still waste time investigating and interrogating?
Oh, as the saying goes.
I am idle too...
“Plop!”
Just as Duanmuhuai and Luolena were walking and shopping, they suddenly heard a sound of falling into the water not far away in front of them, and then a shout came.
“Mary!”
"Mary—! Be careful!"
What''s going on? Someone fell into the water?
Duanmu Huai and Luolena also looked forward curiously, and saw a girl pounced into the water in the river, swimming forward desperately - Huh? forward? ?
At the beginning, Duanmu Huai thought someone had fallen into the water, but when she looked closely, it didn''t look like it. Although the girl was wearing clothes, she obviously swam in the middle of the river. She had never seen anyone swim in the water. Don''t she commit suicide?
But soon, Duanmuhuai saw the girl hugging something in the river, and then turned around and swam towards the shore.
“Haaaaaaaaaa…”
At this moment, the girl in the river was also shaking her hands and feet desperately and swam towards the shore. However, at this moment, her hands and feet were already numb and her whole body was cold. It was late autumn now, and the river water was naturally cold and biting, not to mention that she was still wearing clothes, and she was touched tightly when she was touched with water, which was quite uncomfortable. The girl still gritted her teeth and swam desperately towards the shore.
Finally, the river bank was near, and the girl raised her head, took a strong breath, and then reached out to grab the railing. However, at this moment, suddenly, a wave suddenly came, and the girl directly hit her and floated away!
not good!
The girl was also shocked at this moment. She also knew that she was almost out of strength and thought about getting ashore as soon as possible. But this time she pulled her back...
“Mary!”
The shouts of friends came from my ears, and the girl''s consciousness began to blur at this moment, but she still gritted her teeth and swam desperately to the river bank again. But just as she came to the river bank again, a wave floated again.
no--!
While resisting the river, the girl stretched out her hand desperately. However, at this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. Then the river splashed everywhere with a loud "bang". Then the girl felt that her collar was grabbed by someone and lifted it up directly from the river. When she came to her senses, she was already sitting on the river bank.
“Mary!”
At this moment, the two girls also hurried over from the side and hugged her.
"Are you okay!"
"I, I''m fine..."
Hearing the call of his friend, the girl came to her senses and then hurriedly looked into her arms - she saw a black kitten lying in her arms, motionless.
Seeing this scene, the girl also hurriedly raised her head and looked at everyone.
"Would anyone know if there is an animal hospital nearby?"
Faced with the girl''s inquiry, the people around him looked at each other for a moment, and at this moment, a low voice came.
"let me see."
“Ah, OK…”
Hearing someone talking, the girl hurriedly raised her head, and then when she saw Duanmu Huai standing beside her, she was stunned.
This person is so tall!
"Is this your cat?"
Looking at the kitten in the girl''s arms, Duanmu Huai asked, while the girl was stunned for a moment and shook her head.
"No, I just saw it in the river, so... are you an animal doctor?"
"I''m not, but I can let her see."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand.
"Girl, please help me."
“Meow.”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s call, the bell girl poked her head out of Duanmuhuai''s coat pocket, then jumped down his arm and landed in front of the kitten lying on the ground. It turned around the kitten twice, then stretched out its two front paws and pressed it on the kitten''s chest.
Seeing this scene, the girl and the people next to her were shocked.
Is this... doing CPR? ?
Cats do cardiopulmonary resuscitation on cats? ?
At this moment, everyone next to him also surrounded him and watched the scene in a daze. Then I saw that under their gaze, the black cat pressed the kitten''s chest several times, then pressed hard, and then the kitten opened its mouth and spitted a few sips of water, then opened its eyes, and meowed and started trembling.
"Is it really saved?"
"I read that right."
"This cat is so smart!"
Seeing this scene, everyone next to him was shocked. The cat did CPR for the cat, but was rescued? They are not watching acrobatics! Can this work?
“Woo meow.”
The bell girl proudly raised her chest and called out to Duanmuhuai, who also reached out and put the bell girl back in her pocket. At this moment, the girl had already picked up the trembling kitten, then stood up and bowed to Duanmu Huai.
"It feels so much... Ah snee!"
"You should also be careful of your health and be careful of catching a cold."
Looking at the girl wet all over her body, Duanmu Huai also reminded her, but soon, he glanced at the girl''s right eye and then withdrew his gaze. At this moment, the girl''s friend also came to her and draped the coat in her hand on her.
"Mary, are you okay!"
"Well, I''m fine, that gentleman..."
As he spoke, the girl turned her head and looked forward, then couldn''t help but be stunned.
Where are people?
Why is such a big person missing? ? ?
