Duanmu Huai now finally understands why the detectives in the movie, video game, and animation all look like salted fish.

The reason is simple, and that is...............

It's really idle!!

At this moment, Duanmu Huai was leaning back in his chair, watching the horse racing on the TV in front of him, drinking Coke——— well, he felt that he had more and more potential to evolve in the direction of some confused detective who likes to button his hat indiscriminately.

Why is this so?

Duanmu Huai couldn't understand why he changed the first floor into an antique store in order to attract customers. After all, if someone really needs to buy something to exorcise evil spirits, then there must be similar troubles, and when the time comes, as long as Lorena pushes the boat to introduce her, won't this guest come to the door?

Wouldn't it be wonderful to eat two fish and kill two birds with one stone?

Outcome......... According to Lorena's report, although the business of the antique shop below is not prosperous, it can be said that in the past, most of the customers who come here will buy some items to ward off evil spirits or town houses, and even a small number of people buy weapons to eliminate demons, but why no one comes to find them?

Obviously spent a lot of money on advertising on TV and newspapers, isn't this all in vain?

“…………… So that's it, is there anything on your side that I can pass the time? ”

So there was no way, Duanmu Huai could only call Anthony in the end to see if there was any official case.

And after listening to Duanmu Huai's complaints, Anthony was also speechless.

"So you mean, you think you're idle and want something to do?"

"That's right, I originally thought about opening a detective agency, and there would definitely be a lot of cases, but I ended up idle......... It's so boring, if there's anything you can't handle there, why don't you just introduce it to me? ”

While stroking the black cat and white rabbit in his arms, Duanmu Huai started to complain.

"That's the way it goes, but I don't have that many cases on my side........."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's request, Anthony also rolled his eyes speechlessly, if this is an ordinary police job, all kinds of crime cases are indispensable every day. But where is this kind of U-class case so frequent, if it is really done once a day, doesn't it mean that there are people who want to destroy the world every day on average?

This shouldn't be to go to the police, it's better to go to Ultraman.

But...............

"There are cases that are really troublesome, but in other countries......... Have you ever heard of Jack the Ripper? ”

"Oh? I've heard of it. ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly cheered up.

"In fact, at present, there is a series of serial murders on the side of the fog capital, which is preliminarily judged to be a U-level case, but it is difficult to detect. I've heard that the investigators over there have been several dead......... Since you like to find trouble so much, why don't I open a letter of introduction for you, and you go over there? ”

The U-level cases in this world basically belong to the global sharing of intelligence, similar to the Interpol in the movie, after all, this kind of case is not like ordinary arms smuggling and drug trafficking, even if it succeeds, it will only harm a country, on the contrary, if these cultists and the like are successful, then basically the whole world will be unlucky.

So in this case, this kind of transnational action is actually easier.

After all, saving the world comes first.

Of course, the average player doesn't have this kind of capital, after all............... Going abroad can be very expensive. If you don't throw the dice well at the beginning, you probably still think about where to ask for food at this time, how can you be in the mood to go abroad to investigate and search?

"No problem, leave it to me."

In the game, the dice of Duanmu Huai were not good or bad, that is, he was a middle-class level, so he was mainly running in China at the time, but now it is different, the master is a rich second generation, rich, and willful! What's wrong with going abroad? Going abroad is also a trick! Hey, just play!

Moreover, I have more experience in missions abroad, and maybe when this mission is completed, I can be promoted to C-level......... Well, that's probably not possible.

Forget it, it depends.

Duanmu Huai wanted to be resolute, and after getting the letter of introduction and a copy of the file from Anthony, he immediately began to act.

Getting to the fog is not an easy task, after all, you first have to go to the East Coast and then cross the Atlantic. For the average person, this may not be a problem, but for Duanmu Huai, it is a big problem......... The reason is very simple, with his size, what means of transportation is better to take?

But fortunately, none of the problems that can be solved with money in these years are not a problem. Soon, Duanmu Huai completed the matter of going to Wudu through his own channels.

First, he would take the Pacific Railroad from Arkham to the West Coast, where he would take the Full Moon and Stars airship to the Fog Capital.

There is no way to choose these two means of transport, the train space is small, but fortunately there are VIP cars. As long as Duanmu Huai gives enough money, you can enjoy a carriage alone, although the speed of the train is not fast, but the scenery of three days and four nights is still interesting.

And the reason why you chose an airship over an airplane or a cruise ship is even more obvious.

The plane end of the acacia must not be stuffed in, he can only sit in the cargo hold, as for the cruise ship——— joke, in a world with Cthulhu you have to take a ship on the sea?

Courage is commendable, courage is commendable.

In this way, the airship is a good choice.

It is slower than an airplane, but faster than a ship, and has a relatively large space, allowing Duanmu Huai to roll comfortably in it. Importantly, the airship is a toy for the wealthy, which also ensures that there are not too many guests, and it is relatively clean and comfortable.

Of course, the most important point is that pets are not allowed on airplanes, while airships can.........

So after taking care of everything, Duanmu Huai took Lorena, Bell Girl and Bunny on the train to the West Coast, and the maid was left by him to take care of the house and take charge of the business of the antique shop——— after all, what is sold is money, and what is recovered is the soul, and no one is missing.

I have to say that money is good, although it paid several times more money than an ordinary sleeper, but Duanmu Huai got a separate luxury car, which is also divided into two main and guest rooms, of which the passenger room is located by the door, and the rest is all given to the master bedroom——— Well, although the space is not large, it is enough for Duanmu Huai to roll.

In addition to this, the service in the carriage itself is naturally the best, they can call and ask for food directly, and the waiter will also deliver their meal to the carriage in person. This is also a point that Duanmu Huai likes very much, otherwise if he wants his body to squeeze the dining car, it will really cost people's lives.

After the train departed, Duanmu Huai lay on the bed, and then opened the copy of the case file faxed by Anthony and looked at it carefully.

Fog all.

The history of this world is similar to that of Duanmu Locust, but there are also differences. For example, although the world is relatively advanced in science, it has a bit of steampunk-like fun. The same is true of Fog, where he once watched players on forums describe scenes there, according to those players, the entire island nation is shrouded in smoke due to the massive development of industry. They can't even see what color the real sky is, and in that country, if they look up, they will always see gloomy gray clouds. Only on rare occasions can one occasionally peek into the sunlight and sky through the gap in the dark clouds.

From a quality of life perspective, that's certainly unhealthy. But if you're going to experience the atmosphere, there's no better place to do it.

After all, the classic plot of detective movies is that a detective in a trench coat walks through the cloudy streets and experiences the fun of Sherlock Holmes under the fog.........

Well, off topic, back on track.

Anthony said Jack the Ripper, naturally it can't really be Jack the Ripper, it's just that this name is used to name the case, of course, this name is not chosen randomly, according to the report in the case file, since a few months ago, there have been continuous murders in the fog, and the time of occurrence is basically in the middle of the night. The deceased were all young girls, and according to the forensic examination, these people were all killed on the spot by some kind of steel weapon that broke open their chests and abdomen alive.

At first, the police sent a large number of police forces to search, but there were no clues, and then several investigators and detectives volunteered to investigate, but the result was basically no one alive or dead.

Obviously, this case is beyond the scope of the Wudu police, so they also sent a message to their brother agencies in other countries, asking them to pull themselves along——— after all, this is not an ordinary criminal case, and there is no shame in losing.

Or if you really lose, then you will die together.

Generally speaking, this kind of transnational case is not easy to handle, and if Duanmuhuai hadn't called Anthony to say that he was bored, Anthony would not have thought of this.

"Uh-huh....................."

Duanmu Huai opened the file and looked at the photos and materials on it. Indeed, it is no wonder that it is called Jack the Ripper, because the victims are all women, and they are all disemboweled.

It's just that unlike the ripper Jack in history, almost all of the people who were killed this time were ordinary girls, not the kind of women who stood on the street. And according to the forensic examination, they were not violated during their lifetime.........

But......... Why is that?

Looking at the photos of the murder scene, Duanmu Huai also looked puzzled. If it was a cultist, then there should be some evil circle or spell or something like that, but there is nothing here, which doesn't seem to be cultists, or is it that this group of people killed young girls in order to get some kind of spell casting material from their bodies?

Hehe, isn't it an evil cultivator who stole the girl's Yin Yuan?

Isn't that right...............

Forget it, you'll know the situation then.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai yawned, packed up the papers, and then listened to the rhythm of the train on the soft big bed, and slowly fell asleep.

Soon, the night passed.

"Knock knock, knock knock."

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock on the door, interrupting Duanmu Huai's sweet dream, he frowned, and turned on the lamp next to him.

"Come in."

"Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Knight."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Lorena also walked in.

"What's wrong? What happened? That's ......... 3 o'clock. ”

Duanmu Huai glanced at his watch, this is still early.

"That's right, the police on the train just now came and wanted to ask us something."

"Ask? What to ask? What's wrong? ”

"Like............... I heard that someone on the train was killed. ”

“……………………？？？”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai looked confused.

This isn't the Orient Express by yourself?

Why are they dead?
