Start a Core Pod

Chapter 509: the journey has just begun

  After this, everyone didn't encounter any troubles and reached the finish line very smoothly.

   Of course, this doesn't end there. First of all, the strange death of two guests on the train must be reported. After all, one of them is a famous reporter, and the other is a big businessman, not an ordinary person. Although Duanmuhuai didn't get too many clues this time, fortunately, the transfer records between Philip and Silver Twilight Cottage left by the reporter are still very easy to check. He informed Anthony of this matter by phone, After the latter learned of the news about the Silver Twilight Cabin, he immediately said that he would send someone to take over the investigation.

   After all, this organization is notorious. Although Philip is a big entrepreneur, once he gets involved with this kind of organization, the only thing waiting for him is a dead end—oh, he is already dead.

   It’s just that Anthony didn’t forget to tease Duanmu Huai. He was in a panic in Arkham City. He didn’t expect to encounter a big case as soon as he went out. Do you want to follow this case and continue digging? Philip is a well-known entrepreneur, and the Silver Twilight Cabin is the kind of organization that specializes in recruiting high-class people. Through Philip's line, maybe they can dig out more information about the Silver Twilight Cabin.

  Duanmu Huai was a little moved by this, but in the end he thought for a while, and chose to refuse. The reason is also very simple. After all, all the plans on my side have been made, and all the money has been spent. It can't be wasted, can it? And according to Anthony, he wanted to let himself go undercover in the Silver Twilight Cabin... Are you kidding, go undercover with his body size? You are looking for the wrong person.

  In the end, Duanmuhuai rejected Anthony's invitation and boarded the airship "Full Moon and Stars" headed to Wudu.

   I have to say that, as a toy for the rich, the Full Moon and Stars is really a rather luxurious airship. The entire airship has only ten cabins, which are specially used to receive distinguished guests.

  Besides that, there are restaurants, playrooms, and even a spa room...Well, think about soaking in a heated swimming pool at an altitude of 10,000 meters, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, it will naturally have a special flavor.

  The appearance of Duanmuhuai and Lorena certainly attracted the attention of other guests, but fortunately, everyone is civilized, even if they were curious, they just secretly watched from a distance, without intending to come over. And Duanmuhuai doesn't care about other people's eyes, just looking at the scenery outside the window, while drinking black tea leisurely - the speed of the airship is slower than the plane, but still faster than the ship, it only takes five days at most to reach the fog All.

  I hope there will be no more trouble.

   "Hello, sir."

   While Duanmuhuai was admiring the scenery, a voice came from beside him. Duanmuhuai turned his head and saw a young man dressed as a gentleman standing beside him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

   "Are you also going to Wudu?"

   "Is this not nonsense? Could this airship throw me somewhere else?"

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the young man gave a wry smile, and then he looked back - Duanmuhuai followed his gaze, and saw a few young men's age on the game table not far behind. A young man who is not much different is sitting there, looking at this side with nervous and curious expressions.

  Hmm... Could this be because I lost in some truth or dare game, so I came to find myself?

   "So? What's the matter?"

   "Nothing, just..."

The expression of the young man was obviously a little stiff. It was obvious that standing next to Duanmu Huai at close range put a lot of pressure on him—this is also normal. Any normal person who comes face to face with a tiger without a cage separating him will scare his legs. Soft.

  I saw that he also took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and desperately thought about how to speak.

   "Just... looking at you, is this your first time in Wudu?"

   "Of course, looking at you, it doesn't seem like the first time."

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he looked at the men's clothes. Including this young man, they were all dressed like traditional aristocratic clothes. This kind of clothes is rare in the outside world, and only the fog People dress like this in such old-fashioned places—modern people usually wear suits when they go out.

   "Of course, we are students of the Royal Master's College, and this time we are going back to study."

"Oh I got it."

"May I ask you are………"

   "I'm a detective."

   "Detective?"

  Hearing Duanmu Huai's self-introduction, the young man's eyes lit up.

   "I didn't expect that I could meet a real detective here. Could it be that you are also here for the case of Jack in Chains?"

   "Jack in Chains?"

  Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.

   "Isn't it Jack the Ripper?"

"But according to the rumors we heard, it seems that there are chain Jacks everywhere in the streets and alleys. This is already a very famous rumor in the fog. Even our parents, when we went back to school, told us several times. Take care of your own safety..."

"oh?"

  Hearing this, Duanmuhuai became somewhat interested in them. Obviously, these students are locals and should know the rumor better than themselves.

   "So, why don't you tell me, what is that rumor like?"

   "This... Actually, we don't know much."

  Next, the young man also told Duanmu Huai what he knew about Jack in Chains, which was currently raging in the fog. The general situation is not that far apart, except that according to the young man, those bodies were not found on the street, but in the river. besides………

   "Why is it called Jack in Chains? Obviously the name of Jack the Ripper is more traditional."

   If Duanmuhuai found any doubts in it, it was about the title of the murderer. In the beginning, the files he got from Fog City said Jack the Ripper. Duanmuhuai was not surprised by this. After all, Jack the Ripper was a well-known rumor in Wudu, and it was normal to apply it to similar cases. After all, he was well-known.

  But Chained Jack is different, especially the description of "Iron Chain". At least if this rumor is true, it means that there is a high possibility that some witnesses witnessed the murderer. Otherwise, how would they know that the other party has chains?

But it is a pity that these students stayed out of town for the whole vacation, and they have just returned to their country to go to school. The rumors are all obtained by contacting relatives and friends in the local area by phone. Naturally, there is nothing to investigate such second-hand rumors .

  Duanmuhuai chatted with that young man quite a bit, and the latter also gradually relaxed after seeing Duanmuhuai's tight restraint at the beginning.

   "Thank you very much."

   "You're welcome, maybe I still need your help when I get to Wudu."

   "Of course, if I can help, I will do my best."

  While talking, the young man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over. Duan Muhuai took it and at the same time turned his own business card over.

   "I'll give you one. If you encounter trouble, you can also contact me."

   Soon, the conversation between the two parties was over, and then Duanmu Huai returned to his room to rest, and the young man also returned to his friend, and began to chat happily.

  The rest of the journey was smooth sailing. For two whole days, the weather was calm, there was no storm, and there was no trouble. Logically speaking, Duanmuhuai hoped to reach the destination quietly like this.

  Unfortunately... things backfired.

  On the morning of the third day, Duanmuhuai had just woken up when he heard a scream from outside.

   "Killer——!"

  “………”

  Hearing this, Duanmuhuai paused slightly, then sighed silently.

   Could it be that Arkham's Feng Shui is really bad?
