Chapter 3 Tracking
Jon's heart suddenly rose to his throat, "Ah, yes! ”
The top hat showed Jon his blackened left hand, a wound on it that had begun to suppurate, presumably poisoned by the weapon; Jon wasn't good at poison, but judging by the way the poison was running in the body, it was snake venom; I found a few fresh lobelias, the flowers of the lobelia were like lotus flowers, but there were only half of them; Jon mashed it in a mortar and applied it to the wound, and after adding some other anti-poisoning herbs, wrapped it in a layer of gauze, and hung his arm around his neck; He didn't have to, but Jon didn't want him to have that easy way to move his hands and feet; After finishing his work, he deliberately stood at the gate outside the pharmacy where people came and went.
After the black top hat dropped a silver coin, he went out and looked left and right, and then lowered the top hat and merged into the flow of people!
Jon's heart was beating faster than a frightened frog. He decided to seek Dundra's help anyway, if that top hat came back in the middle of the night, he wouldn't be able to handle it!
The police station in Purcell City is on the other side of the Ringmarket; The three most conspicuous buildings here are the city lord's mansion, the police station and the black stone tower in the middle of the two buildings, this black stone tower has seven floors, except for the first floor, there is a small window on each of the six sides, and there is a sign "black stone detective office" hanging at the door, which looks a little dilapidated.
Jon walked into the police station and asked the staff who answered the police, "Is Officer Dundra there?" ”
The man looked up and thought for a moment, "Sir, are you looking for Superintendent Dundra?" ”
"Ahh I guess so! "Uncle Bushy Beard, is he such a big official?
"He's in the black tower next door, you can find it when you ask." The officer had a "you know" look on his face.
Jon turned and walked out of the police station, under the "Blackstone Detective Agency" sign in the Black Tower, and gently pushed open the false wooden door, which was covered with brass rivets and iron plates, and pushed it up with a dull "creaking" sound.
On a bar across the door lay a girl in a yellow and green floral dress with lace trim at the cuffs and neckline, her messy braided hair wasting her silky blonde hair.
Jon tapped the marble bar with the middle knuckle of his right hand, pulling the blonde girl out of her sleep.
Sleepy-eyed Anne looked at Jon, who was a little thin, and wiped the drooling saliva with the back of her hand! Sobered up for a moment, "Who are you looking for?" "I seem to be out of shape.
"My name is Jon, I'm looking for Mr. Dundra!"
"Oh! I'll show you, you wait. Anne stood up and stumbled, and her legs seemed to be a little numb!
"Pretty lady, do you need help?" Jon immediately asked in a gentlemanly tone.
"Oh! No, thanks! "Anne was also immediately much more ladylike.
Soon Anne returned, "Come with me, sir." ”。
Jon followed Anne past a sign that read "The Hidden Man Club" and went up from a wooden staircase that he was always worried about collapsing to the fifth floor.
Stopping at the door of an office with a sign that read "Inspector's Office," Anne motioned for Jon to go in.
Although Jon's divine sense can cover a large area, out of politeness, he still knocked on the door with considerable restraint, and only went in after hearing "Please come in".
The office is huge, and a solid wood desk is even larger, taking up almost half of the area. At this time, Dundra was gurgling and smoking a hookah, making the office smell of fresh bananas. A set of police uniforms and caps hangs from a coat rack in the corner.
Dundra asked Jon to sit down.
Jon immediately told him what had just happened!
Dundra took the cigarette holder out of his mouth, then let the white smoke float out of his mouth, and then seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Renea, Caroline, let's go out." Dundra shouted at the other side of the door from his seat. Soon Caroline came over, "Renea was guarding the box on it. ”
"Then let Moses replace him!" Dundra commanded as he put on a leather jacket.
"Mr. Jon, I might need you to come with us for a trip to confirm that person!" After saying that, he checked the bullet in the wheel, and then handsomely threw the roulette wheel into the chamber of the gun and inserted it into the holster on his waist.
Jon followed Dundra to the office door and met Caroline again, "Hello, Lady Caroline! ”
"Oh! It's Jon! Nice to meet you. Although she still showed only two eyes mysteriously, she was not the kind of person who was cold at this time.
"Boss, who are you going to cut?" A cold voice came from behind Caroline.
"Don't be reckless, we're going to catch it alive today!"
"Oh!" The voice seemed a little disappointed. Caroline turned and walked ahead, revealing an eastern face with long pigtails leaning against the opposite wall. is definitely more like an Oriental than Jon, holding a black long sword in his arms with a cold face, and wearing an off-white robe, he looks like Li Mubai in the movie.
The group first arrived at Jon's Nanshantang Pharmacy.
"Caroline, where do you see where that man went?" Intentionally or unintentionally, Dundra pulled out the rows of herbal boxes and looked at them a few times, then pushed them back again.
Caroline lit two candles and incense, took a small gold bowl from under her black burqa and placed it in the center of the floor of the pharmacy, sprinkled a handful of unknown powder into it, and a very small silver knife was inserted into it. Muttering some incantation, and communicating with something around him from time to time, a figure appeared in the room with a high-pitched and dense incantation. It was the black top hat that could clearly see the whole process of his entry into Nanshan Hall, until he walked down the street.
Caroline followed first, the others followed the figure, and the ordinary people on the street didn't seem to be able to see the white figure at all; Caroline seemed to have something in her hand and followed unhurriedly.
The black top hat hung an arm around the circular market, the whole city of Sail was built on the hill in the depression of a large mountain, the circular market was the lowest place, and then along the mountain level all the way up, each floor was a wooden street connected by a wooden staircase, from below the sky looked like a bowl, very spectacular.
The black top hat went up the wooden staircase next to the "Sweet Time Watch Shop" and went up to the seventh floor; The four of them were scattered and were following behind intentionally or unintentionally, and at this moment, with a "snap", the white figure in the black top hat suddenly exploded, turning into a little starlight and disappearing.
Dundra approached Caroline and gave her an inquiring look.
"He's dead! Just now. ”
Caroline answered in the affirmative!
