After that, Dr. Rose, who was stoned to death by Lorena's book, melted directly and disappeared into the air into a liquid like oil, while Arthur was tied up and locked in his room.

After that, the captain finally repaired the radio and contacted the police in Wudu.

Then, after the group arrived in Wudu, the imprisoned Arthur was directly taken away by the police, and Duanmu Huai also handed over his investigation report, and the matter was over.

Of course, he also met with the police representatives of Wudu.

"I heard about you from Sheriff Anthony, but I didn't expect you to be so good and do so many things before you even came."

Sitting in front of Duanmu Huai was a middle-aged man with a short and fat stature, a mustache, and a rather rich appearance, he bit a cigarette and looked at Duanmu Huai with a helpless wry smile. And in front of his desk, there is a name tag——— G. Lestrade.

"Well, don't look at that."

Sensing Duanmu Huai's gaze, Sergeant Lestrade sighed helplessly.

"I know what you're trying to say, I don't look like a short, sturdy horn dog, and I don't have a friend named Sherlock Holmes."

"I didn't say anything."

Duanmu Huai smiled and retracted his gaze.

"About that U-rated case........."

"Well, that's what I'm trying to say."

Sergeant Lestrade also restrained his expression.

"Before you came here, there was another case, and to be honest, I don't think even Sherlock Holmes was here, I'm afraid it would be difficult to solve such a strange case."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a file.

"The incident occurred on the evening of the 12th, and the witness was a plumber who had just finished his maintenance work and walked out of his employer's house, and then he saw a body floating in the river in front of him, and then he panicked and called the police."

"So, what's the problem?"

"The problem is that the victim, according to her friend, disappeared suddenly, wandering the streets, shopping, because there were too many people, and then she never saw her friend again. From the point of view of time, from the disappearance of her friend to the discovery of the body, there are no more than three hours in between, which is not the point. ”

"Oh?"

"The point is that because of the many killings in the past few days, our police have set up several patrols to patrol every street, especially the streets near the river. The street where she disappeared was a place frequented by young girls, and the problem was that I asked the police officers in charge of that street at the time, and they all said that they had never met the young lady. ”

With that, Sergeant Lestrade took a hard puff on his cigarette and then smashed the end of the cigarette into the ashtray.

"You see, it's so strange, it's like the victim and his friends separated and disappeared from the world."

"What about surveillance?"

"No gains."

Lestrade said as he frowned.

"To be honest, it's not good right now, the newspapers are left alone, and if we continue like this, we may have to issue a curfew......... Of course, the Director is not in favor of this. ”

This is also normal, any country has a curfew without going to war is a big deal, and if other people know that the fog has issued a curfew because of a serial murderer who can't be caught, I'm afraid they will also laugh at Scotland Yard that there is no one.........

"I've heard that you've commissioned a few investigators as well, do they have any clues?"

"No, in fact I don't know if they found any clues, at least not on their bodies. But ..............."

Saying this, Sergeant Lestrade raised his head and looked Duanmu Locust up and down.

"I'm still more confident in you."

"Thank you so much."

After a few more conversations, Lestrade stamped Duanmuhuai's investigator ID, which also means that Duanmuhuai officially has the qualifications to conduct investigations here. Then Duanmu Huai turned around and left the police station and returned to the street.

"Hoo ..............."

Standing on the streets of Wudu, Duanmu Huai took a deep breath, and I have to say that the air here does have a cold and heavy atmosphere. It's not just because of the pollution, it's more like the whole fog is immersed in an indescribable darkness and depravity——— well, if I have to say, Duanmu Huai thinks it's a bit similar to Aldolph.

The dim city and the cold air, although it seems to be full of people on the surface, always give people a feeling of coldness and alienation. It's as if everything in the city unleashes its dark side, leaving them shrouded in a dark shadow.........

"Mr. Knight, this city always gives me a not-so-good feeling, as if some kind of evil aura has taken root here........."

Even Lorena feels this way.

"yes, I'm starting to regret if it was a mistake for me to open a shop in Arkham in the first place."

Duanmu Huai also sighed silently, he originally chose to open a store in Arkham because of the Holy Land Tour and Mi Da, after all, in Duanmu Huai's opinion, there must be a lot of things in Mi Da.

However, the truth slapped him in the face, and it is no wonder that on the way to Wudu, Duanmu Huai thought about it carefully and figured out that Arkham was in the New World after all. The history of the country in that place is no more than 200 years old, and there are not many traces of civilization at all. Although Mi Da died, but if you think about it, they all went to other places for archaeology before they brought those evil things back and had an accident.

To put it bluntly, they are second-hand dealers.

Opening a store in Arkham by yourself is simply equivalent to second-hand and second-hand.........

But the Old World is different, the human civilization here can be traced back thousands of years ago, plus the dark Middle Ages, cult worship, witch hunting, etc., etc., to put it mildly, the number of cultists here must be larger than that of the New World, after all, even if the New World is not fully concerned in this regard, but if you say that you want to find cultists, it must be easier in the Old World, right?

After all, the rats are going to the garbage heap to find them, and you can't find them on the Gobi Desert, but whether you can find them is another matter.

"Mr. Knight, where are we going next?"

"Anyway, let's find a place to live first, it's really not good, I have to think about moving..............."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently, just now he had called back to ask the maid, but the answer he got was desperate, the shop below could have two or three customers a day, but there was not even half of the commission, and even the calls that came were basically the wrong phone number......... It's just desperate.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the sky in front of him——— there were indeed dark clouds here, and there was no sunlight at all. I heard that this has been the case since the Industrial Revolution, but in the end, I don't know what went wrong, but in short, it seems that a vortex has formed, causing a large amount of smoke and dust to hover in the sky, and finally this huge cloud covering the whole country all year round, like a pot lid.

Duanmu Huai has also seen it on the airship, and when you look down from the sky, you can clearly see the black and oppressive clouds like a huge whirlpool enveloping the whole country, I heard that there are many people in this country who have never seen the blue sky and sun since they were born, and only when they go out to travel will they have the opportunity to experience different scenery.........

Well, Duanmu Huai can't imagine what this looks like.

Of course, if you want to move, you have to find a good place, and this time you have to choose well, and you must not pat your head like Arkham ——— then be confused.

It's not okay if nothing happens.

In fact, although the job of an investigator is similar to that of a detective, it is strictly speaking much simpler than that of a detective, and the reason is very simple. Detectives have to face more normal crime cases, in these cases, criminals generally choose to hide themselves after committing crimes, or may not commit crimes again. Just like Jack the Ripper in the past, it is estimated that he will stop after playing enough, and then the police will be confused, and eventually this will become a world-famous headless unsolved case, and no one knows who Jack the Ripper is, not even if it is a man or a woman.

So in this case, the detective is under a lot of pressure, after all, if he can't find the prisoner, the other party may end up at large.

But cultists are different, you don't care if it's stealing, killing, or setting fires. In the end, the purpose of these cultists must be to make big news, so many times if the player really doesn't have the mind of Sherlock Holmes, he can't decrypt it, and he doesn't bother to pick the lock, so he just finds a cultist to keep an eye on, and when it finally chooses to summon the evil god or something, jump out and clean it up.

This is also the reason why Duanmu Huai is so calm on the airship, just like he said, the other party's criminal methods are so rough, and at a glance, he knows that he didn't want to let them live. The facts also proved that Duanmu Huai guessed correctly, those two idiots still expect to use the entire airship as a sacrifice to summon Naia.

Someone is about to ask, if this is the case, then why waste time investigating and interrogating?

Heck, as the saying goes.

Idleness is idleness...............

"Poof!!"

Just as Duanmu Huai and Lorena were walking and shopping, they suddenly heard the sound of falling water not far in front of them, followed by shouting.

"Mary!"

"Mary———! Be careful!! ”

What's going on? Someone overboard?

Duanmu Huai and Lorena also looked forward curiously, only to see that in the river, a girl was throwing herself into the water, swimming desperately forward——— huh? Forward??

At the beginning, Duanmu Huai thought that someone had fallen into the water, but it didn't look like it if she looked closely, although the girl was wearing clothes, but she obviously swam to the middle of the river, and I hadn't seen anyone who fell into the water and swam in reverse, isn't this suicide?

But soon, Duanmu Huai saw the girl hugging something in the river, and then turned around and swam towards the shore.

"Huh......... Hahh..............."

At this moment, the girl in the river is also desperately shaking her hands and feet, swimming towards the shore, but at this moment she is already numb in her hands and feet, and her whole body is cold, this is late autumn, and the river is naturally cold and biting, not to mention that she is still wearing clothes, and at this moment she is also clinging to her body when she is stained with water, which is quite uncomfortable. And the girl still gritted her teeth and swam desperately towards the shore.

Finally, the embankment was in sight, and the girl raised her head, breathed hard, and then reached out to grasp the railing. However, at this time, suddenly, a wave suddenly hit, and the girl who hit it directly floated backwards!

Not good!!

At this moment, the girl was also shocked in her heart, she also knew that she was running out of strength, and wanted to go ashore as soon as possible. But this time he pulled her back directly.........

"Mary!!"

The shouts of her friends came from her ears, and the girl's consciousness was already a little blurred at this moment, but she still gritted her teeth and swam desperately to the river bank again. But just as she came to the bank of the river again, a wave came again.

Nope———!!

While resisting the river, the girl stretched out her hand desperately, but at this time, a huge black shadow suddenly flashed in front of her eyes, and then with a loud "bang", the river splashed, and then the girl felt that her collar was grabbed, and she was lifted directly from the river, and when she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on the bank of the river.

"Mary!!"

At this moment, the two girls also hurriedly ran over from the side and hugged her.

"Are you alright?"

"I, I'm fine........."

Hearing the call of her friend, the girl came back to her senses, and then hurriedly looked into her arms——— only to see a black kitten lying in her arms, motionless.

Seeing this scene, the girl also hurriedly raised her head and looked at everyone.

"Excuse me, does anyone know if there is an animal hospital nearby?"

In the face of the girl's inquiry, the people around also looked at each other for a while, and at this time, a deep voice came.

"Let me see."

"Ah, okay........."

Hearing someone speak, the girl hurriedly raised her head, and then when she saw Duanmu Huai standing beside her, she was stunned.

This man is so tall!!

"Is this your cat?"

Looking at the kitten in the girl's arms, Duanmu Huai asked, but the girl was stunned for a moment and shook her head.

"No, I just saw it in the river, so......... Are you an animal doctor? ”

"I'm not, but I can show her."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand.

"Suzume, do me a favor."

"Meow."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's call, the bell girl poked her head out of Duanmu Huai's coat pocket, and then jumped down his arm and landed in front of the kitten lying on the ground, it circled the kitten twice, and then stretched out two front paws and pressed it on the kitten's chest.

Seeing this scene, the girl and the people next to her were stunned.

This is......... Doing CPR??

Cats give cats CPR??

At this moment, the people next to him also came around, circled around, and watched this scene dumbfounded. And then I saw that under their gaze, the black cat pressed on the kitten's chest several times, and then pressed hard, and then the kitten opened its mouth and spit a few mouthfuls of water, then opened its eyes, meowed and trembled.

"Really saved?"

"I'm not mistaken."

"This cat is so smart!"

Seeing this scene, the people next to him were stunned, this cat gave the cat cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and the result was saved? Aren't they watching acrobatics? Can this also be done?

"Meow."

Suzumi puffed up her chest very proudly and shouted at Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai also reached out and put Suzumi back in her pocket. At this moment, the girl had already picked up the cold and shivering kitten, then stood up and saluted Duanmu Huai.

"It's very ......... Ahh ”

"You also have to pay attention to your body and be careful of catching a cold."

Looking at the wet girl in front of him, Duanmu Huai also reminded him, but soon, his eyes swept to the girl's right eye, and then retracted his gaze. At this moment, the girl's friend also came to her side and draped the coat in his hand over her body.

"Mary, are you alright?"

"Well, I'm fine, that gentleman........."

As she spoke, the girl turned her head and looked forward, and then couldn't help but be stunned.

What about people?

How come such a big person is gone???
