XXIX. The Ghost of a Shipwreck
Even though I'm used to seeing things that don't make sense, I still don't think things make sense.
I stood up and said, "What's this Ranger Major's name?" Leave it aside, she met the murderer in this house, most likely her house, and they fought together, Major, she didn't use a gun, she didn't use any weapons, the enemy killed her with a weapon like an iron claw glove..."
Misser pondered, "Or could she use such a weapon?" Or maybe it's not a weapon, but a cat-like claw? ”
I said, "She? She wasn't demonically transformed. ”
Milse said, "You go on. ”
I gradually found my senses, I had a detective novel that I was so fascinated by it that I read it over and over again no less than fifty times, but unfortunately there was no pipe nearby that could make me pretend. I paced slowly and said, "After the murderer committed the murder, he took her.... The body is dismantled and scattered, but there is leisure and elegance to sew the silk thread to stop the bleeding for her? And then in a hurry, he lit another fire and tried to cover up the evidence? ”
Misser said: "Did this murderer have intermittent psychosis? He couldn't be nervous and laid-back. ”
I looked around at the shack, which was quite spacious compared to the low-rise commoners, with a total of thirty square meters on the upper and lower floors, and there were not many people living there, perhaps with her husband or parents.
Downstairs was not burned, and I found the man's clothes in the cupboard, and I went to Pol and said, "Get all the neighbors in the neighborhood." ”
Upon inquiry, it was revealed that Major Rita Mann did not live alone, that she lived with her brother, and that she had recently found a boyfriend and brought him into the black coffin.
The thought of the Major's condition being similar to that of Lamia made me feel pity, and I vowed to find the culprit for her.
I whispered, "Can you get information about these two people?" ”
"Her brother is a civilian in the black coffin. There is no information about her boyfriend. ”
How is this possible?
"From the first floor to the twenty-ninth floor, there are the most inhabitants and disorderly, and there are so-called 'black people' here, people who are illegally transported in by gangs. Therefore, he was not registered in the database of the black coffin. ”
Black people?
I asked, "How did the black people get in?" ”
"It's often forged documents and overdue documents, local gangs charge exorbitant dues, and they even have a way to remove the timer," he said. ”
I said, "But the black people don't want to go out for the rest of their lives." ”
"It's hard, but it's not impossible. ”
I asked, "What's the solution?" ”
He said, "I don't know much." ”
Alas, after all, she is only a little angel who takes care of herself, and not an all-knowing and all-powerful God. She must have been very lonely, looking at me pitifully from afar, her heart was fluctuating, her heart was budding, and she longed for this heroic uncle to hold her more, to chat with her, to soothe her exhausted and indifferent heart....
"Disgusting," said Lacka. ”
I asked, "Disgusting heart?" ”
Laca said, "Nasty! ”
I asked, "Hate it?" ”
Laca finally said, "Shut up! ”
I was devastated and in desperation, I took in the chaos and asked, "Then where is this black man hiding?" ”
I don't pay attention to me anymore, I can't afford to make jokes, and I didn't ignore her when she tossed me with ghost songs.
I asked one of the women who looked concerned, "Miss, describe the man to me." ”
She said: "This man was strong, somewhat fierce, with long hair, but with a very handsome face, not more than twenty years old. He looks like one of those gang characters, with patterns on his body. ”
I asked, "What kind of pattern?" ”
She said, "A demon with a sword, like the kind of red demon who has lost a lot of weight. Speaking of this, she whispered: "He would never expose his skin, but that time by chance, the ventilation system on this floor was broken, and he took off his clothes to wipe his sweat, and I saw that his muscles were very good!" Talking about this, her eyes became hot.
I was amazed that this woman was not afraid of this vicious suspect, and even made no secret of her love for him.
I asked, "Where does this man usually work?" ”
"He cleans up the garbage for the market, don't look at him like that, he's very honest," she said. ”
This is a big surprise - the man who can be favored by the Ranger Major, dressed as a gang, actually sweeps the streets honestly?
I said, "How long has it been since you've seen him?" ”
She said: "It was only three hours, I saw him go out early in the morning, and then there was a fire, and the black coffin went out of the fire. ”
I noticed that her house was directly opposite this one, and from her narrow window, there was a telescope.
I asked, "Are you peeking into this room?" ”
She said dryly: "Yes, I can't forget that man, so I saw him change clothes in the attic, and he didn't care." ”
I was taken aback and hopeful, and said, "Do you see what happened?" ”
She thought about it for a moment and said, "No, I probably hadn't woken up when it happened." ”
I said, "Really? I think you just like that man, so you are perjury for him! ”
She shook her head vigorously and said, "No, I really.... It's true.... I can't remember, I might have been looking at the window to see him come back and change clothes, but I..."
I said sternly: "This matter is very high-stakes, if you don't report it, I can kick you out of the black coffin!" So that you can't even do it as a black citizen! ”
She hurriedly said, "No, I....", suddenly, her eyes rolled and she fainted in front of me.
Something was wrong, it seemed to be some kind of mental shock that forced her to forget what she had seen. I ordered the militia to take her away.
Salvador said: "If.... This involves sorcery and magic, so why not ask the exorcist? There may be clues. ”
Then I remembered to pay back the stubble and asked, "Could this man be a liar?" "I've been in the hands of profiteers before, and I'm always wary of strangers in black coffins.
Salvatore said: "That's the person Marquis Michael wants to see, and even if the exorcist has a hundred heads, he won't dare to play with the marquis." ”
Milse also said: "There is a lot of evil in the house, and you also feel that kind of spiritual oppression, if that exorcist really works, you might as well give it a try." ”
I didn't feel good in my heart: I couldn't imagine that I, who had read a detective novel, would have to use this swaggering occultist, but in any case, the exorcist would inevitably want to meet him.
Passing around a low house, I saw a low wall, with black-tiled eaves and dotted with plants, and it was actually a quiet temple.
We opened the door, and there was a courtyard, simple and elegantly furnished, with low foliage and stone lamps, and I wonder how this man had grown these plants in this place where there was no sunlight. This yard is not small, but it can also be used to raise moose.
We walked towards the quaint mansion in the courtyard, and in an instant I felt mentally disturbed and restless, as if there were many vicious enemies lurking behind the pillars. Salvador looked frightened and stopped, saying, "Be careful, it's a trap!" You can't rush in! ”
Misse said, "It's the Blade." As he spoke, the sword was already in his hand.
I blocked the man's mental offensive and nodded, "Indeed." "The spearbone gun was also released.
An old man with a sickly face walked out from behind the door, holding a wooden staff painted with black paint in his hand, but if you look closely, he is not old, he has a big back and hair, sharp eyes, wearing a black suit, chest and abdomen, there is no wrinkle on his face, but it gives people a very old feeling, it seems to be some kind of old soldier who has been abandoned by the times, but he refuses to give up his dignity.
Misser whispered, "Ochid." "Coincidentally, I also happened to think of my adoptive father. This old man has a similar spirit to his adoptive father, but unlike his kind adoptive father, he is extremely serious and polite.
He said, "Who is the visitor?" Is it the Sword and Shield Society? ”
"Yes," said Mirse, "sir, we have heard that there is a master of the occult here, who has come to visit him. ”
The old man's back straightened a little, and he stepped out, his staff up, and he said, "Use the reading blade on me." ”
I know that there is often this etiquette in the Sword and Shield Society, where an apprentice is tested for swordsmanship by a sword instructor. Usually the warriors of the Sword and Shield Society will learn some swords, even if there are superior and inferior, but they all understand the principle of swords. The instructor puts the apprentice to the test by passing a surprise check.
Mirse nodded, "Yes!" This is the Eight Instruments Sword, taught by Sir Ochid. With that, he rushed towards the old man, stabbing straight with his sword, and under the effect of the blade, the sword made a loud noise when it broke through the air, but I knew that Mirse would send and receive as he pleased, and would never hurt the old man.
The old man turned the wooden staff horizontally, and Mirsai's sword suddenly became soft, and then Mirsai's sword fell to the ground, and was knocked by the old man's wooden staff and rolled down at Mirsai's feet.
Misser was shocked to see Daria lying on my bed.
The old man said, "Is that all your willpower is?" ”
Mirse picked up the long sword and said aloud, "Not only that, sir, but I will use the 'Huder' next, I used this sword to split the boulder, and I ask Sir to do what he can." ”
The old man's expression was solemn, and he said, "It's not you who measure my strength, but I measure your strength." ”
Mirsey was engrossed, breathing quietly, and in an instant, he swung his long sword and used his will to unleash razing sharp force.
The old man didn't dodge, he actually threw the wooden staff and blocked it with one hand, and the powerful "fidwood" was caught by the old man with his bare hands.
Mirse was horrified to find out that Daria was still alive and had become a man.
The old man said, "Okay, your mind blade is already very good, considering your age, it is quite outstanding. ”
He pointed at me and said, "It's your turn." ”
Mirsai asked in amazement, "Longi, you have also learned to read the blade?" ”
I nodded, mustered up all my strength, and stabbed the fishbone spear out, my mind drove the shadow to rush forward, the old man sneered, and used the same technique to block my quisquid, but I manipulated it slightly, and the blade turned sharply, stabbing at the old man from behind, but the old man flicked it at will like a fly, and my shadow suddenly dissipated.
The old man said, "It's really whimsical, you haven't learned to walk yet, you're already thinking about learning to fly?" ”
We were amazed at the old man's skill, and Milsey said, "Sir, we are willing to bow down, can we please tell the old man his honorable name?" ”
The old man said, "I'm just a ghost in a sunken ship." With a look of frustration in his tone, he turned and walked into the room, closing the door.
