Chapter 12: Xuanzang, the Skull-Crusher
Get out of this shanty town.
Tang Luo and the others did not rush back to the hotel, but found a quiet café.
Xiao Chu asked the waiter for paper and pen, wrote and painted, and sorted out the situation.
According to the current leads.
The general situation he deduced was as follows:
Jack the Ripper is a hidden organization, not just a person.
Last night, Hodge was a peripheral member of the organization that was about to be recruited.
One or more people at the inn are also members of the organization.
The organization has a special power to master skills similar to Zhou Zhenguo.
The most important thing is that they may have been targeted from the beginning.
It was a coincidence that the Hodge was drawn out.
But Li Liang and Cheng Cheng, who disappeared directly last night, on the first night, are definitely not a coincidence.
After talking about the situation that he had analyzed and sorted out, Xiao Chu looked at Tang Luo and Zhou Zhenguo and asked, "Master Xuanzang, Uncle Zhou, what do you think?" ”
"Makes sense." Zhou Zhenguo nodded in affirmation.
Tang Luo said: "The poor monk is not good at this way, so you might as well follow the train of thought of Lord Chu and complete the task." ”
Xiao Chu let out a sigh.
It's a bit of a feeling of raising eyebrows.
A veteran, a warrior monk who can fight very well, he is not bad.
Backed by wisdom.
And in contrast, Xiao Chu prefers this kind of "winning by outwitting" more.
The Five Tiger Admirals are very stylish.
But obviously Zhuge Kongming is even more powerful.
"There are two breakthroughs for us, one is the hotel, and the second is the clue left by Hodge." Xiao Chu showed the letter he was carrying to Zhou Zhenguo, "The situation at the hotel is unknown, let's not startle the snake for the time being, check Hodge's side first." ”
If it weren't for what happened at the hotel.
Today's original plan was to have Chahodge related.
Tang Luo and Zhou Zhenguo did not object.
The three of them packed up and headed straight to Grand Field.
How do you check Hodge?
Naturally, it is with the help of local officials.
Originally, it was enough for one person to go with the papers.
Although Xiao Chu was proud, he was not carried away, and clearly realized that although he began to take the lead in completing the task with wisdom.
But he is still a person who is "powerless".
I don't know how to use it, and I haven't re-performed the "light curtain skill" until now.
Compared with the very capable "warrior monk Xuanzang", Zhou Zhenguo, who has skills, is a weak chicken.
The act of going separate to find death will definitely not be done.
must firmly follow Zhou Zhenguo or Tang Luo.
"Bastard! Darn! Rubbish! ”
When he arrived at Grand Field, Tang Luo heard a roar coming from the chief inspector's room.
The structure of the Glen field looks like this:
The highest is the Detective, the lower is the Deputy Detective, the Deputy Detective is followed by the Team Commander, and the Commander is the Lowest Detective.
Finally, there are patrols.
That is the identity that Tang Luo has now gotten.
It's just that the normal patrol is a long-term external hiring, and Tang Luo is a short-term job to solve the ripper case.
The boss has a fierce face, and the agent has no good voice, and he can't teach people to be lively; Only holes......
Oh, there's no Kongyiji.
Tang Luo inquired and learned the reason for the detective's anger from the agent who sent him the document yesterday.
It's about him.
It was Hodge's headless body that was discovered.
Jack the Ripper's case has not yet been solved, and now there is another "headless case", and it is strange that the detective does not roar.
And this "guillotine" that caused the headless case is countless times more ferocious than Jack the Ripper.
Jack the Ripper just disembowels people, at most they lack some organs.
The scene of the crime that was discovered early in the morning.
It simply doesn't look artificial.
The head of the deceased was "sprinkled" with a pit.
It feels like a stone has fallen from the sky, shattering the deceased's head while leaving a pit in the ground.
According to the agent's speculation, the murderer should be a big man with a sledgehammer.
It is possible to cause such a scene.
The guillotine, also known as the "Skull Crusher" and "Hammer Brother".
After listening to the agent's description, the corners of Zhou Zhenguo's eyes were constantly twitching.
He knew what Tang Luo had done last night.
But I didn't expect it to be such an exaggeration.
Xiao Chu looked at Tang Luo expectantly, as if he wanted to find that strange and embarrassed look on his face.
It's a pity that Tang Luo looked indifferent, as if the guillotine and skull-smasher in the detective's mouth were not him at all.
This kung fu of nourishing qi is indeed enough for a "master".
"It just so happens that I'm here for this too." "The identity of the deceased is Hodge, and we have investigated. ”
"What?"
The agent was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of surprise.
The head of the deceased is gone, and it is not uncommon to be dressed in gray.
Gran Field was for a while, but he really couldn't find his identity.
I didn't expect this foreign detective to find it, and the document was not given in vain!
The agent excitedly went to report.
Tang Luo and the three stayed.
It was close to two o'clock in the afternoon before the three came out of Grand Field.
All the information about Hodge has been obtained from the Grand Field.
They didn't tell Gran Field about the Ripper's organization.
Unless something is impossible, the armed forces of the Grand Field will be used on a large scale.
In the game of gods and demons, there is a less certain statement.
It is to complete the task, and the amount of play will affect the quality of the reward.
Although it has never been confirmed or confirmed.
But according to common sense, people who contribute more to complete tasks will get more "rewards" than those who contribute less.
The external forces of the mission world are not unable to rely on their strength.
If there are too many of them, it may affect the "task evaluation".
In the walking of gods and demons, this statement is still quite marketable.
Walking on the road, Zhou Zhenguo glanced at Tang Luo several times before asking, "Master Xuanzang, you won't be tricking me and pretending to be a newcomer, right?" ”
Stopping him and hurting the killer is nothing.
But the skull smasher doesn't seem like something that a newcomer can do empty-handed.
It's okay to take a sledgehammer.
There is no fixed squad in the game of gods and demons, and every time you enter the mission, the people you meet are random.
Tang Luo's performance is very "new", and Zhou Zhenguo treats them as newcomers.
The veteran pretended to be a newcomer, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Zhou Zhenguo had never seen it, but he had heard of it.
The monk in front of you, isn't it?
"Monks don't speak." Tang Luo smiled, "The poor monk is indeed the first time to come into contact with this god and demon game. ”
"Then why are you so good at fighting?" Zhou Zhenguo asked, "It's not normal." ”
"Exercise."
Tang Luo said.
"How do you exercise?"
"100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, 10 kilometers a day." Tang Luo said seriously, "And in the process of exercising, you can defeat all kinds of demons and monsters, and you can fight like a poor monk." ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Zhenguo looked confused, what is this?
"Poof!"
Xiao Chu suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhou Zhenguo looked at him with an inquiring expression.
Xiao Chu looked at Tang Luo, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he smiled and said, "What the master said is the exercise method in the comics. ”
“……”
Zhou Zhenguo was speechless for a while, and he also realized that he had Meng Lang just now, and he didn't continue to get to the bottom of it.
Regardless of this Master Xuanzang (warrior monk?) Not new.
The kindness and strength shown so far are enough to prove that he is a strong and reliable partner.
"Can't you really team up?"
Zhou Zhenguo sighed in his heart.
As a man who has been in society for decades, he knows how powerful the organization is.
This is true even if the power of the game of gods and demons is attributed to its own "world".
With similar strength, two transcendent gods and demons must be stronger than one.
Unity is strength!
"Uncle Zhou, I seem to have awakened my ability last night." Xiao Chu's words interrupted Zhou Zhenguo's thoughts.
"What?"
Zhou Zhenguo frowned.
Xiao Chu told Tang Luo and Zhou Zhenguo what happened to him when he was attacked by Hodge last night.
He also had no choice.
After last night, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cast that thin light curtain.
The same is true for holding back half to death, so he can only turn to Zhou Zhenguo for help.
"I've never heard anything like this." Zhou Zhenguo said.
"Uncle, didn't you say that you can also get benefits and rewards in the process of the mission, isn't this the case for me?" Xiao Chu asked.
Zhou Zhenguo said: "The situation I said is different from yours. Those benefits that have been obtained, becoming stronger or something, are not born out of thin air like you. ”
After thinking for a while and organizing the language, Zhou Zhenguo took out the dagger: "For example, this dagger is what I got in the mission world, and then I can take it back, which is different from the reward after the completion of the task, the benefits obtained, and another way to become stronger." ”
"The task world can be said to be a treasure trove, and those who have the ability can dig out more benefits in addition to the task and make themselves stronger."
In short, the rewards are not directly issued by the "gods and demons", but by themselves.
"What about me?" Xiao Chu asked.
"I've never heard of you like that." Zhou Zhenguo said.
"Am I unique?" Xiao Chu secretly said in his heart, since Zhou Zhenguo didn't know, then he could only explore it by himself.
"I don't like this place, it feels so eerie."
In the evening, the sun sinks and night falls.
Xiao Chu looked at the building not far away and spoke.
It's not that he's timid.
Dare to wear women's clothes as bait, Xiao Chu's courage is really not small.
It's just that normal people don't like mental hospitals, especially a semi-abandoned mental hospital.
Hodge, a former doctor, used to work here.
And the reason why he is no longer a doctor is also related to this hospital.
Probably a few years ago, Hodge was drunk and accidentally caused a fire.
Hospitals were burned down.
Hodge, who originally had a good future, lost his job and lost a lot of money, and since then he has been poor and decadent.
His parents died early, and his original relatives and friends stopped contacting Hodge because of this incident.
Only a former colleague occasionally visits Hodge.
Especially these days, many people see them drinking in taverns.
That colleague is a doctor, considered the middle and upper class of society, and relatively weak, which does not fit the inference that the murderer in Gran Field is a big man.
just sent detectives to question one or two, but he didn't treat him as a suspect at all.
In Xiao Chu's eyes, there is a probability of more than 90% that this person is a member of the Ripper Jack organization!
