Chapter 508: The Journey Has Just Begun
After that, everyone never had any trouble again, and they reached the finish line very smoothly.
Of course, this is not the end of the story. First of all, the mysterious death of two guests on the train naturally had to be reported, after all, one of them was a famous journalist, and the other was a big entrepreneur, not an ordinary person. Although Duanmu Huai didn't get too many clues this time, fortunately, the transfer records between Philip and the Silver Twilight Cottage left by the reporter were still very easy to query, and he informed Anthony of the incident by phone, and the latter immediately said that he would send someone to take over the investigation after learning the news of the Silver Twilight Hut.
After all, this organization is also notorious, although Philip is a big entrepreneur, but once he is contaminated with this kind of organization, there is only a dead end waiting for himβββ oh, he is dead.
It's just that Anthony didn't forget to tease Duanmu Huai, and he was idle in Arkham City, but he didn't expect to meet a big eucalyptus as soon as he went out, do you want to follow this eucalyptus and continue to dig down? Philip is a well-known entrepreneur, and the Silver Twilight Cottage is the kind of organization that specializes in gathering high-class people, and through Philip's line, it is possible to dig up more information about the Silver Twilight Cottage.
Duanmu Huai was a little moved by this, but in the end, after thinking about it for a while, he still chose to refuse. The reason is also very simple, after all, the plans on my side have been made, and the money has been spent. You can't waste it, can you? And at Anthony's behalf, he wants to go undercover to the Twilight Hut......... Just kidding, going undercover at your own size? You're looking for the wrong person.
So in the end, Duanmu Huai refused Anthony's invitation and boarded the airship "Full Moon and Stars" to the fog capital.
I have to say that as a toy for the rich, the Full Moon Star is really a rather luxurious airship, and the entire airship has only ten cabins, which are specially used to receive distinguished guests.
In addition to that, there is a restaurant and playroom, and even a spa room......... Well, think about soaking in the heated swimming pool at an altitude of 10,000 meters, looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside, it is naturally a different flavor.
The appearance of Duanmu Huai and Lorena certainly attracted the attention of the other guests, but fortunately, everyone is a civilized person, even if they are curious, they just secretly watch from a distance, and they have no intention of coming over. And Duanmu Huai didn't care about other people's eyes, just looked at the scenery outside the window, and at the same time leisurely drank black teaβββ the speed of the airship was slower than that of an airplane, but it was still faster than a ship, and it only took five days at most to reach the fog capital.
I hope I don't get into trouble anymore.
"Hello, sir."
Just as Duanmu Huai was enjoying the scenery, a voice came from his side, Duanmu Huai turned his head to look, and saw a young man dressed as a gentleman standing beside him, looking at him with a smile.
"Are you also heading to the Fog Capital?"
"This is not nonsense? Could this airship be able to throw me somewhere else? β
"Hahaha........."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, the young man smiled bitterly, and then he looked back at βββ Duanmuhuai followed his gaze, only to see that on the game table not far behind, several young people who were not much different in age from the young man were sitting there, looking at this side with nervous and curious expressions.
Well......... Could this be some kind of truth or dare and lost, so you came to find yourself?
"So what? What's the matter? β
"Nothing, just ..............."
The young man's expression was obviously a little stiff, it was obvious that standing next to Duanmu Huai at close range put a lot of pressure on himβββ this is also normal, any normal person who has face-to-face contact with the tiger without being separated by a cage will be scared of weak legs.
I saw that he also took out a handkerchief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and desperately thought about how to speak.
"It's just......... Looking at you, is it your first time in the fog? β
"Of course, looking at you, it doesn't look like it's the first time."
Duanmu Huai said while looking at the men's clothes, including this young man, they are dressed like the traditional aristocratic clothes, this kind of clothes is rare in the outside world, and only in a conservative place like Wudu, people will dress like thisβββ modern people generally wear suits when they go out.
"Of course, we are students of the Royal Master's College, and this time we are going back to study."
"Oh......... I see. β
"What are you ...............?"
"I'm a detective."
"Detective?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's self-introduction, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I didn't expect to meet a real detective here, are you here for that Chainjack's eucalyptus?"
"Chainjack?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned.
"Isn't it Jack the Ripper?"
"But according to the rumors we've heard, it seems that the streets and alleys are all called Chainjack, which is already a very famous rumor in the fog. Even our parents, when we went back to school, told us several times to be careful with our own safety..............."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai became a little interested in them. It was clear that these students were locals and should know more about that rumor than they did.
"So, why don't you tell me what that rumor really is?"
"This one......... Actually, we don't know much. β
Next, the young man also told Duanmu Huai what he knew, about the rumors about Chainjack, who was currently raging in the fog. The general situation is not far off, except that, according to the young man, the bodies were not found in the street, but in the river. Besides...............
"Why is it called Chainjack? Obviously, Jack the Ripper's name is more traditional. β
If there is anything suspicious that Duanmu Huai found in it, it is about the title of the murderer. At first, the file he got from the fog was written on it by Jack the Ripper. This is not surprising to Duanmu Huai, after all, Jack the Ripper is also a famous rumor in the fog capital, and it is normal to put it on a similar eucalyptus, after all, it is also well-known.
But Chainjack is different, especially the description of "Chain", at least if this rumor is true, then it means that there are likely to be witnesses who witnessed the murderer, otherwise how would they know that the other party has chains?
However, it is a pity that these students have been in the field for the whole holiday, and they have just returned to China to prepare for school, and the rumors are all learned by contacting local relatives and friends by phone, and this kind of second-hand rumor naturally has nothing to investigate.
Duanmu Huai and the young man chatted a lot, and the latter also saw Duanmu Huai's restraint and tension from the beginning, and gradually became relaxed.
"Thank you so much."
"You're welcome, when we get to the fog, maybe I still need your help."
"Of course, if I can help, I'll do my best."
As he spoke, the young man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it over, Duanmu Huai took it, and at the same time transferred his own business card.
"I'll give you one, and if you have any trouble, you can contact me."
Soon, the conversation was over, and Duanmu Huai returned to his room to rest, and the young man returned to his friend and began to talk happily.
The next journey was smooth sailing, two full days, calm and calm, that is, there was no storm attack, and there was no trouble, according to reason, Duanmu Huai hoped to be able to reach the destination quietly like this.
Pity............... Things do not turn out the way you want.
On the morning of the third day, Duanmu Huai had just gotten up when he heard a scream outside.
"Murderβββββββ!
β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's movements stopped slightly, and then sighed silently.
Could it be that Arkham's feng shui really doesn't work?
