Chapter Eighty-Five: Strange Stars of Today
In the spacious hall, there were only Jiang Chen and Bellis.
They sat at the tea table, drinking tea made by Bellores herself.
The tea exudes a charming fragrance, and it is clear that the tea maker is very skilled.
Although it is a little too sweet because of the sugar added, it can still cheer people up.
After taking a few sips of tea, Jiang Chen asked as if inadvertently:
"Miss Beatles, you ......"
"Liz, it's okay to call me that, otherwise it will look raw."
Beaterys emphasized her preferred title.
Although Jiang Chen doesn't know when he will not be separated from her.
But even so, he had no choice but to nod and say:
"Lis, this cruise seems to be different from what the Detective Guild told us before."
"Well, as far as I've observed, there don't seem to be any ordinary passengers on board, just a few of us detectives."
Beaterys took a sip of tea and looked at the empty scene around her.
According to the original plan, there should be at least a few hundred passengers on board.
This group of passengers will watch the detective's reasoning show live, which is both a spectator and a compliment.
After all, in addition to having the best actors, a good audience is also essential for the best performance.
Otherwise, if the detectives reason openly on stage, but there is an empty and dead silence off the stage, it will inevitably seem a little boring.
But now that there really aren't any ordinary passengers on board, the show is somewhat intriguing.
Speaking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help asking:
"Have you seen any other detectives? Who will come on this ship? ”
"Well...... Except for the second place "Gui Gongzi" and the eighth place "Squatting at Home" who couldn't come because of something, almost all of the top ten arrived. ”
"Your son? Squatting at home? What do you mean? ”
"We don't usually use names as names, but everyone has their own code name, for example, my code name is "witch". ”
I see...... The second "noble son" should refer to not breaking.
With the second place on the list, he is naturally qualified to come to this event.
Of course, how the second place came to be, everyone who understands it.
It's just that because the Governor of Tianhai on the side of the Tenth District has just recovered, he, as the youngest son, must go back to stay for a while.
In addition, he may have heard that Jiang Chen was coming to this event, so he directly refused the invitation of the Detective Association.
With Jiang Chen's first place pressed on it, he may feel a little embarrassed if he doesn't break it, but in fact, he is indeed embarrassed.
After understanding this, Jiang Chen looked at Bellis again and said with a smile:
"Lis, what's my code name?"
Jiang Chen wasn't joking, he really didn't know what his code name was.
After all, Jiang Chen had never participated in the activities of the Detective Association before, and he was completely forced to join the gang.
Hearing this somewhat outrageous question, Beaterys couldn't help but laugh as well.
But she still smiled and said:
"Your code name is the most special, Sherlock. ”
Sherlock...... It's not like a code name. ”
"Not really, it's the name of the greatest detective of all time, so it's used as a hereditary code name for the number one in the Detective Guild."
"I see, whoever comes first is called Sherlock, it's really simple and rude."
Just when Jiang Chen was a little crying and laughing at his strange codename.
At the back of the hall, there was the sound of a wheelchair rolling, along with several footsteps.
Jiang Chen turned his head to look, only to find that five men and women with extremely distinctive characteristics were walking towards this side.
The man at the front looked unshaven and had a tar-stained pipe in his mouth.
His raunchy appearance was more like a sailor than a detective.
Seeing Jiang Chen's gaze turn to the man, Beaterys on the side then introduced:
This is the seventh-ranked "drunkard" of the Detective Guild, and I heard that he is drunk and his mind is clearer than normal. ”
Subsequently, Jiang Chen looked over one by one, and Bellis also introduced the past one by one.
Dressed in a white coat is the fourth-ranked "doctor" of the Detective Guild, who is good at using various high-tech methods to solve the problem. ”
"That kid who is about one meter tall is the sixth-ranked "blue coat" in the Detective Association, don't look at him like this, he is actually almost thirty years old. ”
The old man in a wheelchair is the fifth-ranked "witch witch" in the Detective Guild, and she is said to have some strange methods to locate the murderer, and the success rate is quite high. ”
The bald man in the last handcuffs is the ninth-ranked "Doctor Yuri", who is said to use some strange mind control to get the prisoner to confess himself. ”
Unlike Jiang Chen, who hardly attends such events, Beaterys seems to be very familiar with this group of competitors.
It's just that after listening to her introduction, the expression on Jiang Chen's face became more complicated.
Witch, Doctor, Witch, Blue Coat, Drunkard, Doctor Yuri...... It's a bunch of messy people.
Fortunately, the noble son did not appear here, otherwise it is estimated that Jiang Chen would be so speechless that he wanted to run away on the spot.
Among the group, Beaterys was actually the most normal one, and the rest were simply stranger than the other.
Especially after they saw Jiang Chen, they immediately surrounded him and looked at him with the eyes of a monster.
"You're the first Sherlock, aren't you? It doesn't seem like a big deal. ”
The drunken man took a puff of his pipe and said in a confident tone.
The blue coat on the side, who looked abnormally small, also smiled:
"Don't say that, drunk, maybe people are hiding it, and it's the first place."
"Indeed, it looks much calmer than that imp who doesn't break, hahahahaha."
Facing everyone's ridicule, Jiang Chen could only smile awkwardly.
After all, he had little friendship with the detectives here, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
But now that everyone has come to this boat, they will be friends and foes for the next period of time.
And in the final analysis, Jiang Chen doesn't hate this group of detectives with very different personalities.
After all, everyone's hobbies are the same...... It's all a bunch of strange creatures that go crazy for the sake of reasoning.
However, when Jiang Chen was sitting in the hall chatting with a few newly acquainted detectives.
With the arrival of the appointed moment of eight o'clock.
The ship docked at the harbor of the 23rd District finally slowly sailed from the shore, heading towards the inland sea with the loud sound of the waves.
By this time, it was already pitch black on the ocean.
Huge cruise ships break the waves in the dark
Rumbling thunder could be heard in the distance, signaling that the night would not be so calm.
It's just that not long after the "Titanic" set sail smoothly.
A slender figure rushed to the port in a hurry, and then began to beat his chest.
"What do you say? The boat the detectives were on just left? ”
"You're talking about the Titanic, it's been driving for half an hour, and now I can't catch up when I drive a boat to chase it."
Faced with the beautiful girl's inquiry, the old man sitting on the edge of the harbor smoking said in a relaxed tone.
This beautiful girl who chased all the way to the port naturally wanted to see ...... Ahh
In the past three days, Shen Yunyi chased Jiang Chen all the way from the ninth district to the twenty-third district.
Because he wanted to come out to avoid the limelight, Jiang Chen also went around all the way, exhausting all kinds of anti-tracking methods.
But this set of anti-tracking methods made Shen Yunyi miserable.
Whenever she thought she had found Jiang Chen, that guy always made a false shot.
In fact, he had already gone in the other direction, leaving only a dashing back.
Just chasing, chasing, chasing...... Shen Yunyi finally chased after this port.
It's a pity that she hurried and hurried, but she still didn't catch up with the ship.
Looking at the dark Inland Sea, Shen Yunyi couldn't help but sigh, but he immediately cheered up.
Since she was a child, she has been the kind of person who encounters difficulties and overcomes them, even if she is depressed, she will not exceed three seconds.
No one should see me on the sea like this...... Just fly over and forget it.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunyi found a secluded place in the port.
Then I saw her right hand move, and a golden sword appeared at the girl's feet.
Rise! The next moment, the golden sword rushed towards the distant sea level like an arrow from a string!
And Shen Yunyi's figure also chased towards the Titanic with a very cool sword flying momentum.
I still don't believe it...... I can't catch up with you after chasing for so long, hum!
When the golden flying sword pierced the sky, the girl's mood gradually became excited.
However, what Shen Yunyi never expected was that he had no choice but to fly the sword this time.
It will indeed cause a huge misunderstanding in the future...... It even led to a chain reaction.
……
The "Titanic" at night is like a cork floating on water, floating all the way forward, floating.
It was as if the ship was moving at the mercy of the waves, and it was not at all the fingers of the tiny people.
The night is getting dark, and it's pitch black around the luxury cruise ship.
Jiang Chen was alone in his room looking at the window, thinking about what he had seen and heard today.
The ship is indeed quirky...... It's extraordinarily quirky.
At dinner time, there were only seven detectives who came to eat, and there were no other identities in sight.
The sailors and staff responsible for serving them were also tight-lipped about their employers' situation, apparently tightly sealed.
In this case, the detectives are enthusiastically discussing the mock case that may happen tomorrow.
It seemed that everyone thought it was a well-choreographed event and that they were the most striking actors on stage.
According to speculation, a large number of pinhole cameras must have been installed in the cruise ship at this time.
Through these cameras, the detectives' daily lives and reasoning are recorded, just like a reality TV show.
If the show is exciting enough, their group of detectives will be in the limelight and even become world-class celebrities.
Jiang Chen was noncommittal about this statement, because he didn't care if he could be famous.
Compared to this...... What he cared more about was the indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
It's just an association-sponsored event, and nothing more than that, and there shouldn't be any risk.
Even if something happens, I can handle it with my strength...... So don't worry.
Jiang Chen tried to convince himself with such words, but at the moment when he thought so.
Not far away, a golden ray suddenly crossed the sky! Let Jiang Chen jump up from the bed immediately!
