Chapter 555 Cornwall


    After finishing Glaki, Duanmuhuai set out again and embarked on a journey to Cornwall.


    He has handed the follow-up completion of this commission to the foundation to complete it - simply put, two twisted murderers are here to hunt down the guests here in the name of opening a hotel. Mr. James unfortunately became one of the victims, and the arrival of Duanmu Huai and other investigators made them nervous. In order to destroy the evidence of the crime, they attacked Duanmu Huai and other investigators and were then killed.


    As for the scars on the corpses, they were abuses caused by the two murderous crimes.


    Well, if placed in a news newspaper, it is almost like this story for the public.


    This is also very normal, it is much better than saying "two cultists who worship the old dominators from aliens transform passengers into zombies here."


    By the way, the foundation has also complained about Duanmuhuai, because Duanmuhuai burned all the corpses of aliens in a fire, including Glaki''s. It can be said that the only thing the foundation has recovered is that alien city. They actually hope to capture this monster alive and conduct investigations and research. But for Duanmuhuai... this is of course impossible.


    The reason he chose to give the living Migo to the Foundation was because Migo is a race. Duanmuhuai has no fleet in this world, so he cannot exterminate Migo for the time being. Moreover, there are many Migos, one or two less.


    But Glaki is just a rare creature. Of course, for the Inquisition, the best way to make them completely genocide for a rare creature like this.


    After all, as long as they become extinct, they will not harm humans.


    As for how rare and important it is, the court does not care about this.


    The foundation is very dissatisfied with this, but Duanmu Huai, as the judge, will not give in to this regard. After all, he and the foundation are just cooperative. If you are dissatisfied, you should go to die by yourself. It''s all my business.


    “Woo……”


    But sitting in the carriage, Mary was a little silent. She subconsciously reached out her hand and stroked her lower abdomen, her mind was in chaos.


    What mark is that?


    Mary doesn''t remember when she had such a mark. She remembered that she hadn''t had it before, and she didn''t know when it appeared.


    Having said that... is this a tattoo?


    As a good lady, Mary has always kept her distance from such things. She never thought she would have a tattoo one day. It can be imagined that if Charlie and Asherika saw it, they would definitely faint. Having said that... I should be the one who wants to faint the most.


    Does this kind of tattoo have when you join the court?


    Marie also secretly asked about Lorena, but when faced with her inquiry, Lorena seemed very confused.


    "I have never seen anything like that, and there seems to be no trace of similar things in Miss Kanami, Miss Lea and others."


    Although they are all names that have never been heard of, the question is what exactly is this?


    Mary already knew the meaning of skull and warhammer when she watched the "Introduction to the Inquisition Court Corporate Culture", so this must be something from the Inquisition Court, but she was a little hesitant about whether to talk to Duanmu Huai. After all, I am still a girl, and I talked to other men about the patterns on my lower abdomen... This kind of thing is still a bit too embarrassed for a girl.


    "What''s wrong?"


    Perhaps because he noticed Mary''s gaze, Duanmu Huai looked at her, while Mary was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.


    "No, no, nothing..."


    As she spoke, Mary lowered her head, but soon, she thought of something again and looked at Duanmuhuai and spoke.


    "Ah, by the way, Mr. Duanmu, I have something I want to discuss with you."


    "What''s up?"


    "That''s right, I want to write this itinerary into a novel..."


    What Mary told Duanmu Huai was the idea she had before, that was to become Watson around Sherlock Holmes, record the cases, and then write them into novels. However, this was the first time Duanmu Huai heard it, and he had to say that he also showed a rare expression of surprise.


    "You are going to write these investigation cases into novels?"


    "Yes...is it OK?"


    "I''m fine, but I have a few advice."


    “Advice?”


    "That''s right, first of all, the characters who appear in it must be pseudonyms except me."


    “I know this.”


    After all, personal privacy and personal intelligence also need to be protected, not to mention that Duanmu Huai and Mary handled it, it is not an ordinary criminal case like Sherlock Holmes.


    "Also, you can''t write out their real names about the monsters inside."


    "Hey? Can''t you write?"


    "Yes, these external gods and other things are very sensitive in this regard. If you write their names and then see them by readers, when they recognize this name, they may become the targets of evil gods and monsters. So even if it is a record, you cannot write down their real names."


    “It sounds like a curse.”


    "In fact, it''s almost the same. Your current idea is basically equivalent to rewriting a book of the Dead."


    "Book of the Dead? What is that? It feels like a magic book. I just want to write a story book..."


    "It doesn''t matter. In short, as long as I write as I said, then there will be no problem... What are you going to do with publishing? If you need it, I can help."


    "Although this is good, I hope to try to contribute and publish it myself." "That depends on your own strength."


    Hearing this, Lorena next to her also came over excitedly.


    "Miss Mary, are you going to be a writer?"


    “I just like writing stories.”


    Mary didn''t lie. She liked to write some stories since she was a child. Charlie was her first reader. In fact, one of her future career plans is to be able to publish novels she wrote and become a writer. Of course, for now, she is probably going to become a horror writer.


    "Can I appear in there too?"


    "Of course, as long as Miss Lorena allows me to use your name."


    "No problem! This is the first time I have seen my name appear in a novel, it will definitely be very interesting. Come on, Miss Mary!"


    After talking about this topic, the two girls started to talk enthusiastically. It seems that Lorena actually likes reading books... Well, it is not surprising. After all, a person who hates books cannot run around with a book all day, and he always uses it to fool others in the face.


    …………I should be considered like it, right?


    The next journey was smooth sailing. During the warm chat between Lorena and Mary, the group finally arrived in Cornwall. And I met the client, Mr. Best Hank.


    Earl Best is a white-haired old man over 70 years old, and the reason why he invited Duanmu Huai to help was very simple - the Hank family is a prominent family in this generation. Although at the government level, they do not have the power to govern here, how to say it... This is a bit like the rich gentry in ancient China, because it controls the industries in nearby towns, so it has a great influence.


    Because of this, after the vampire incident occurred in Cornwall and the police investigation was ineffective, the angry old man said he wanted to investigate himself, and then learned about Duanmu Huai from the bauble with similar experiences, and invited him.


    "I''m somewhat famous here. If you encounter trouble, you can report my name. If the other party refuses to help, then contact me directly."


    Although he is a 70-year-old man, Count Best''s momentum is still powerful and looks quite tough.


    "It doesn''t matter, but Mr. Best, what do you think?"


    "What are you talking about?"


    "About vampires and so on, to be honest, do you believe it?"


    "To be honest? I don''t really believe it."


    Count Best gave the answer without hesitation.


    "And, wouldn''t it be stupid if the vampire really exists?"


    "oh?"


    "Look, aren''t vampires cunning and evil monsters in the legend? If they really want to control this area, they can come to me and turn me into their servants, and then transform all the staff of the city government, and then do whatever they want to do here? But those who are victims are just some workers. Isn''t that stupid?"


    Indeed, as Count Best said, if the legendary vampires really had this ability, the first thing they should change was the local real power faction. After all, it is not like the Middle Ages now, with aristocratic and senior officials all surrounded by fully armed guards. In this era, even if the mayor goes out, there are not necessarily bodyguards. People like Count Best were always surrounded by people when they went out in the Middle Ages, and there are not necessarily a few guards in this era.


    So for vampires, it is much easier to attack these on-site ruling factions in modern times than before.


    "So what do you think?"


    "To be honest? I don''t know. If I were a few decades younger, maybe I would think that this might be a gang activity among some gangsters. But I am older and seen a lot, and I know that there are still existences in this world that we cannot understand. Since the Baroness of Basqueville strongly recommends you, I think you shouldn''t be the kind of fool who cheats, and I am older and don''t want to explore those secrets anymore. The only thing I want to do now is to hope that this land will restore peace..."


    Speaking of this, Earl Best breathed a sigh of relief.


    "You may not know yet. This city was not like this before. Even at night, people would go out, go to bars to drink, watch football, or go to a cafe for a date. But now, after nightfall, everyone stays in the door, and even the shops are closed. Looking down from me, it is dark below. Those who don''t know think the whole city is destroyed like this."


    As he spoke, Earl Best looked out the window and his snow-white brows stood up high.


    "To be honest, I don''t know what kind of monster is causing trouble, or gang fight, or something else. I just hope to end all this, so I invited you all to come, as long as you can help me solve this problem, and this is the only requirement for me."


    "Thank you for your understanding, we will find a way to deal with this problem."


    Perhaps because he was old, after meeting and talking to Duanmuhuai and others for a while, Earl Best went to rest, and then Duanmuhuai picked up the black tea at his hand and shrugged his shoulders.


    "I have to say that dealing with such smart people is convenient, and it is really an ideal client."


    “Ideal client?”


    Hearing this, Mary, holding the notebook in her hand, tilted her head curiously and looked at Duanmuhuai.


    "Yes, in fact, investigators often encounter various clientele, but many of them are idiots who cannot see the reality clearly. For example, even though the situation is not like this, he insists that we report the situation like this. Simply put, it is like forcing the doctor to tell the other party that no matter what disease he diagnoses, he must tell the other party that he is just a cold, otherwise he will be furious... Of course, when I encounter such a client, I have long since thrown him out."


    After all, Duanmu Huai is not a vegetarian.


    "alright."


    After drinking the black tea, Duanmuhuai stood up.


    "Next, let''s start investigating."
