Chapter 60: Tram Arson (1)

In other words, now that a relic of the [Crime] sequence is missing, as a museum handler, Jiang Chenchuan is obliged to track and recover it.

"Alright, now that your matter is settled, it's my turn." Ethan turned his head and said to the ordinary-looking watch repairer, "Professor, the academy says that there is something wrong with the museum's monitoring equipment, and you need to check it out." ”

"When you go out, you have to pay according to the hours worked."

wasn't polite to Ethan, he slowly packed up his toolbox and began to bargain.

"Professor, you know, the Alchemy Academy's recent funding ......"

"It's not negotiable."

"Okay, Professor, I'll pick you up over there."

Ethan replied resignedly.

Seeing Ethan, who is usually proud and indulgent, so deflated, Jiang Chenchuan couldn't help but feel a little funny, of course, this also confirmed his previous conjecture from the side, the identity of this watch repairer is not so simple.

A professor at the Alchemy Academy?

Jiang Chenchuan didn't say much.

Ethan left with Heyman and got into the car, Heyman paused and glanced back at Jiang Chenchuan:

"Ethan, when the time comes, you can help him, I remember that I seemed to have invented a ...... A device that traces the source based on the residual power of the relic should be useful. ”

"That installation has been loaned to the museum, but ......," Ethan smiled heartily, "I made a portable one for my last project, so maybe I can try it." ”

The car starts and fades away.

The monitoring site where the accident occurred was a little far away, the car drove a long way, and they could talk on the way, Ethan took this opportunity to discuss several points with that he couldn't figure out, and Professor also gave answers one by one.

"By the way, there's one more thing, Professor, about the customer who just came to you, Ewell......"

Ethan hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak to Professor.

"What's wrong?"

Professor Heyman straightened up and listened intently.

"Remember the corpse of a stranger that the Public Security Department asked us to recover some time ago? The corpse was in a strange state, it hadn't decomposed yet, and, after hearing Professor Erwin, the corpse had been slowly repairing itself recently, so I used the alchemy of soul exploration, the alchemy compass to guide me...... It's the guy just now. ”

"Soul?"

Professor's cloudy pupils lit up, since ancient times, no one has been able to prove the existence of souls, and even if there is, there has never been a case of separation and rebirth.

Of course, part of the reason why Ethan did not start writing the paper was that he was afraid that after revealing his soul, it would be another shock to the gods and the culture of faith.

"I have some different conjectures, Professor, since I have proved the fact that the soul can live without the body, then the ...... of the World Tree"

Thick black smoke rose in front of him, interrupting Ethan's next words, and hurriedly slammed on the brakes, and pedestrians on the street stopped to look in the direction of the black smoke.

"What's going on?"

Ethan poked his head out of the car window to see that the road ahead was basically blocked, and he could see that there were mounted police coming from a distance, and the whistle was heard through the streets and alleys, and even the smell of burnt smoke was in the air.

"Professor, you wait for me."

Ethan pushed open the car door and walked towards the smoke, squeezed past the crowd of people watching the excitement, and saw that the people of the public security department had set up a cordon, and everyone had to stay outside the line.

Even if you stand on tiptoe and look inside, you can only vaguely see the outline of a black train, still bubbling with flames.

"Excuse me, what's going on here?"

Ethan grabbed the individual and asked directly.

"I don't know, I'm just shopping there, I don't know what the situation is, I hear a very noisy noise, and then with a 'boom', something explodes."

"Obviously, I saw that the tram burned first, and then I heard the people above shouting, I told you, obviously it won't die, it's so strange, the driver didn't open the door, and then I don't know what happened, and it blew up all of a sudden."

"It's pretty much the same, I've seen the same situation, but the time interval is too short, and they haven't arrived at the station, even if they open the door, they won't be able to run far and will be blown up."

"Oh, it's, it's horrible, I just saw the doctor carry them out of the tram, and they're all scorched......"

As if opening the conversation, passers-by began to discuss, and Ethan listened to it next to him, and then found a gap and squeezed out.

Got in the car.

"It seems that there was an explosion, and I won't be able to get over here for a while, so I have to go another way."

Ethan was about to start the car and leave, but was stopped by Professor raising his hand:

"Let's wait a minute, I don't think something is right."

"Professor, are you suspicious...... Relic? ”

Ethan understood what he meant, but relics are not commodities and can be born anytime and anywhere.

Looking at the billowing black smoke, the fire, and the escalating state of affairs, Professor reached out of the car window, caught the drifting ashes, and gently pinched them, leaving only a light ash and a faint purple light that was barely visible.

"Most likely, you go find out where the nearest monitoring site of the museum is, go and inform them, and wait for the guys from the security department to estimate that the museum will not be able to intervene until tomorrow."

Professor explained.

Ethan immediately prepared for action.

"By the way, tell them to bring the people from the medical department with them, and try not to let those ordinary people in the capital hospital touch the corpses."

Ethan nodded, taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was attracted by the fire, and burrowed into a deserted path, drawing a not-so-complicated circular pattern on the ground with broken stones, which could be seen as a common alchemy circle in the presence of an alchemist.

He took the compass out of his pocket and placed it on top of the pattern, and after a while, a blue-green light staggered, and the hands on the compass began to spin wildly.

Finally, stop in a certain direction.

This is the benefit of man-made relics, whether there is an awakening or not, or if the sequence is wrong, it can be used.

It's just that the function is much worse than the real thing in every sense.

"There it is."

Ethan grabbed the compass, rubbed the pattern on the ground with his foot, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the compass.

……

Jiang Chenchuan carried his small tin box and prepared to go home.

After thinking about it,

In order to prevent accidents, it is better to hand over the heart of the Voyer to the museum first.

He waited for a long time on the platform, but no train arrived, and when he was strange, a uniformed staff member walked towards him.

"Sorry sir, there was some accident ahead, and we just received a notice that the tram will stop running today."

"Accidents?"

Jiang Chenchuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and there seemed to be countless ashes fluttering in the sky.
