Chapter 20 The detective team is in action (1)
Dark species?
It feels different from what was described in class.
Pan Ming quietly hides behind the black silhouette.
He had little contact with outside information and did not know that a crazed criminal organization was eyeing the Orioles in the East District, often attacking them late at night and performing bloody and bizarre religious rituals on them.
What’s more, in some unscrupulous tabloids’ descriptions, a mysterious silhouette will appear at the scene of the crime, and anyone who gets close to it will feel weak and frightened, as if their life force has been sucked out.
However, Pan Ming's intuition told him that this thing was not ordinary.
At the same time, a strong man hiding on the roof noticed this strange scene:
The black silhouette moved in an extremely abnormal way, and behind it, followed closely by a more hidden transparent thing. If it weren't for his special ability, it would be impossible to detect the clues.
"Pagan summons?"
Justice Johnny murmured in his heart. He knew that there are always some weird and eccentric scumbags who, after being inspired by some evil gods, use human sacrifice to please them in order to achieve ulterior motives.
Purpose.
However, how could one ritual summon two monsters?
Could it be twins?
Pan Ming didn't know that the peeper above him had arranged a weird brother for him.
At this moment, he had followed the mysterious silhouette to the depths of the alley. This is the most typical structure of the slums——
dead end.
As soon as I stepped in, there was a strong smell of blood.
A fragmented corpse appeared in front of Pan Ming. Judging from the outline of the body, the deceased should have been a girl with a very good figure.
And if she went out in this kind of weather, it was almost certain that she was a wanderer.
So, this silhouette is Jack the Ripper?
Pan Ming was stunned for a moment, this situation inevitably made him think about this.
However, it does not look aggressive, it just wanders around the unknown female corpse in an irregular manner, and instinctively exudes an unknown aura.
Because of the heavy rain, Johnny, who silently observed the crime scene, could not deduce the specific time of death of the victim.
"Probably within half an hour."
This well-known private detective in the East District was thinking to himself, because according to the patrol map drawn up by Scotland Yard, two secret police officers responsible for night patrols should have passed by half an hour ago.
As long as your eyes are not blind and your sense of smell is intact, you will not ignore the scarlet color and the smell of blood that appears on the wet road.
Just as he was thinking about it, Duke, who was integrated with the surrounding environment, took the lead in launching an attack on the silhouette, and stabbed it directly with two water arrows.
The moment one of them was about to hit the mysterious object, it split into a sharp object as thick as a thumb and flew towards the unprepared Johnny Justice.
"Damn."
Johnny didn't care about hiding, and jumped from the roof in a flash. Almost at the same time, the wall burst and splashed with rocks, hitting the private detective.
Without any suspense, Pan Ming subdued the voyeur.
But the mysterious silhouette remained unscathed. The water arrow, which was comparable to a high-energy bullet, made no waves the moment it touched it, like a mud cow plunging into the sea.
Physical immunity?
A possibility flashed in Pan Ming's mind, and then, the silhouette guarding the unknown woman's body turned into dots of black mist and disappeared into the rainy night.
died?
Or, run away.
Pan Ming, who came into contact with this kind of monster for the first time, was at a loss. He had realized the limitations of his knowledge.
In the meantime, set your sights on Justice Johnny.
"hiss."
Johnny was lying on the ground, holding his injured lumbar spine, and said with a painful expression: "Are you a private detective invited by Scotland Yard?"
"no."
Pan Ming stared at the peeper, paused, and then added, "What on earth is that thing?"
Broken limbs.
It looks messy, but in fact there are traceable cuts.
Pan Ming preconceived the idea and thought of Jack the Ripper. However, he was affected by the upgrading of the world and became more and more weird and unpredictable.
"Probably a monster summoned through pagan rituals."
Seeing that Pan Ming was willing to communicate, Johnny couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he secretly guessed his identity in his heart.
the other side.
The night is getting deeper, and the kerosene street lamps emit a weak light, which looks particularly weak among the countless raindrops.
Baker Street, 221b.
Officer Wensley took Lu Li and Duke to sit by the fireplace and warm themselves by the fire, waiting silently.
Not far away, the potion experiment entered its final stage. After a busy day, with the help of his friends, Holmes finally mastered the key.
"Sticky, crimson."
"It exudes an unspeakable smell."
Looking at Holmes in front of him who looked a bit like a mad scientist, Lu Li was speechless. He subconsciously looked at Duke. There should be many topics in common between the two of them, even if they were involved in different fields.
A few minutes later, Dr. Watson took the potion.
Although Holmes repeatedly requested to personally taste this potion that was most likely to succeed, considering that he might have health problems after drinking too much failed potion in one day, the doctor refused without explanation.
Then, under the gaze of four eyes, the medium-sized Dr. Watson began to swell violently. He had to thank the tailor for not shoddy material in his underwear.
Chest muscles, abdominal muscles, if the painter were present, he would definitely be shocked by the beauty of these muscles.
Even Lu Li was not as fit as him after he completely transformed into a werewolf.
"What does it feel like?"
Holmes stared at his friend and said expectantly.
Considering that there were guests and he really couldn't find suitable clothes, Watson simply let go and replied frankly: "I can tear down the whole street."
"Of course, maybe it's an illusion caused by suddenly gaining a lot of power."
When Officer Wensley saw this scene for the first time, he felt extremely complicated. He subconsciously looked at Lu Li and Duke, and saw that they were calm and didn't seem to find anything strange. He couldn't help but begin to doubt his life:
Am I out of touch with this era?
"It seems to have been successful."
A smile appeared on Holmes's face. In fact, he was not a serious person. He just didn't like to deal with strangers and hated fame and fortune.
Otherwise, how could Officer Wensley have casually visited this mysterious collection and witnessed the refining process of the potion with his own eyes.
As for Lu Li and Duke, although it was the first time they met, Holmes always felt that they looked particularly friendly, as if they were old friends whom he had not seen for many years.
Especially when he found Duke holding a pipe in his hand, he felt even more intimate.
"Long wait."
With that said, Holmes opened the wine cabinet, took out the brandy and transparent wine glasses, and added a few pieces of firewood to the fireplace to make the living room and collection room even warmer.
"I'm going to go to the crime scene tomorrow. If nothing else happens, by this time, a murder has already occurred in the East District."
