Quick Pass: Play Cannon Fodder

In a blink of an eye, the strong wind in the house suddenly stopped.Several candles on the workbench flickered again, illuminating the surprise in the old man's eyes.

"Is this... really my Bill?" He walked forward slowly, staring at Bill Burton intently.

"Grandfather, I'm Bill." Bill stretched out his small arms, as if wanting a hug.

After confirming his eyes, the old man ran to the bed with tears in his eyes, trying to hold Bill, who was only 7 years old, in his arms.Unexpectedly, he missed, and just penetrated Bill's body directly, and threw himself on the bed.

"What's going on here?" The old man got up and looked Bill and Xing Huan back and forth.

Xing Huan sat back in the chair, crossed his legs and said: "As I said just now, I am a psychic detective. I can summon the ghosts of the dead and let them tell the truth. However, my current mana is limited. You only have 5 minutes to talk to Bill."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the old man would have thought he was dreaming.He was very excited, and the questions in his heart slipped from his mouth, but he just couldn't open his mouth.

Xing Huan handed him a glass of water, then asked Bill: "Your grandfather has been looking for you, do you know?"

Bill shook his head, and after seeing the old man's tired face, he nodded meekly.

The uncle suddenly laughed and said, "What a well-behaved child, it's completely different from Master Huanhuan when he was a child..."

Xing Huan covered the smart watch and asked again: "Bill, what happened two years ago? Why didn't you go home?"

After the topic was brought up, the old man came back to his senses, and then fell down beside Bill with his nose and tears in his eyes.Bill turned to his grandfather and recounted what had happened to him.

It turned out that on the day Bill disappeared, he asked two other boys to go out to play.They passed through the center of London, stopping for a while near Whitechapel.When it's dinner time, Bill wants to go home, but he meets two bad guys on the way.

At that time, Jack the Ripper hadn't started committing crimes.To be precise, Bill's disappearance was two months earlier.

"I didn't see their faces clearly. They were wearing cloaks and clown masks. After Charlie and I parted ways, Daniel and I went back to Witch Street along the road. After walking for a while, I realized that the two uncles had been following us " Bill's voice became smaller and smaller, "Later, they chased after me, trying to knock me and Daniel unconscious..."

"My poor child, what then?" The old man's eyes were filled with tears.

Later, one of the men accidentally killed Bill and took Daniel away.In order to destroy the body and traces, they also put Bill in a sack and threw him under the deserted cliff. When he said these words, Bill summoned up great courage.

Afterwards, Xing Huan raised his hand to Bill, and Bill walked up to him.

While the old man was crying bitterly, Xing Huan took out a bag of candies from the 22nd century from the exclusive space.Bill was so happy that he tasted one immediately and returned the rest to Xing Huan.

Seeing that Xing Huan shook his head, he put the candy in his pocket and said, "That's all I know. How is Brother Daniel?"

In fact, Daniel, who was only 11 years old, was also missing, but he was still alive-because Xing Huan couldn't summon his undead.

"As long as he is still alive, I hope you can buy him some candy one day, it's so delicious!" Bill had a childlike smile on his face, "Grandfather, don't feel sorry for me, I'm over there Had a great time, I'm going back."

The old man sighed and nodded reluctantly.After they said goodbye, Xing Huan withdrew a trace of witchcraft, and Bill Burton disappeared into the house.

It took only 5 minutes for Xing Huan to find out Bill's disappearance while sitting in the dirty basement.

Harvey Hankins was poking around the door like a raging bull.Because Xing Huan temporarily closed the whole room with witchcraft, he couldn't see anything and could only pace back and forth outside.

It wasn't until the old man exited the basement that Harvey went up to him and said in a low voice, "Oh, Mr. Burton, your face is a bit ugly. It must be that Mr. Lemon failed to help you? It's no wonder, after all, he He is still very young and has no experience in solving crimes. Even I can't find out the truth, so it's reasonable that he couldn't help you."

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then wiped the wrinkles on his face, and muttered to himself: "I never thought there would be such a good detective as Mr. Lemon in this world! He not only found out the truth, but also found my grandson." Already!"

Harvey thought he heard it wrong, so he stopped the old man's way: "Mr. Burton, what did you just say? Walter Lemon helped you find Bill?" After that, he grabbed the old man by the collar , eyes filled with deep suspicion.

"Yes, he found my grandson!" The old man pulled back his collar, "Mr. Hankins, what's the matter with you? It's fine if you can't help, why did you do it to me?"

"Uh, I'm sorry." Harvey looked at a loss, still staring at the old man.

The old man walked forward on his own, and said as he walked: "Although I guessed the result, the big rock in my heart has finally landed... Poor boy, I'm going to find Bill right away, Mr. Lemon has already put him down." Tell me where it happened."

Harvey followed behind the old man and said in disbelief, "That's impossible! He...you guys only took a few minutes, how did he do it? Did you provide him with footprints, or did you tell him something Details I don't know?"

The old man remembered the scene just now, and then froze in place.It's really amazing that Detective Lemon really knows witchcraft!

At this time, Xing Huan walked out of the basement, leaned against the door and said, "Mr. Burton, have you not forgotten our agreement?" His blue eyes flashed like sharp knife points.

Just as the old man was about to speak, he suddenly remembered the contract he signed with Xing Huan.Harvey didn't know what happened, so he asked anxiously, "What agreement?"

After a pause, the old man turned around and bowed slightly to Xing Huan, and said, "Thank you, my dear Mr. Lemon, you are the greatest detective in the world!" After that, he turned and left without looking at Harvey again .

The Greatest Detective?Harvey seemed to have suffered a serious injury, and was speechless in a daze.

He is a consultant detective of Scotland Yard, and even Inspector Edward admires him!Xing Huan just found out a missing child case, maybe he just made it up... He actually became the greatest detective in the world?

Xing Huan changed his innocent expression and said, "Uncle Harvey, I have deduced Bill's location. I solved a simple disappearance case for you. You should be very happy, right?"

Simple?This brat actually said it was simple? !

"Of course, it's a good thing that there is Brother Walter, so I didn't introduce the wrong person." Harvey couldn't help but forced himself to show a gratified smile.

Oh, it's ugly.Xing Huan smiled back and turned back to the house.

As soon as Xing Huan walked away, Harvey caught up with the old man and wanted to go with him to find Bill's body.

By the window, Xing Huan saw them walking away, so he counted the banknotes on the workbench.

The money was given by the client.Although Mr. Burton was born poor, he still paid a small amount of cash, which was enough for Xing Huan to eat a few good meals.Xing Huan put the money into his trouser pocket, and put the contract document signed just now into the exclusive space.

This contract was cast with witchcraft, and it clearly stated the dangers of leaking secrets: random bad things will happen to the client within ten days, ranging from a fall to life.

However, before Xing Huan came to this world, Walt had already dealt with the missing child case.The client did not leak the secret and was a trustworthy old man.

The leaker who betrayed Walt was someone else, putting Walt in danger of being assassinated.The client will not show up for a few months, so Xing Huan put the matter aside for the time being.

Right now, he was more concerned about the missing page of transcripts, but this page was lying in Inspector Edward's drawer.Coupled with the fact that Walt is the biggest suspect, it is inconvenient for Xing Huan to take risks at this time.Even if you want to steal this page of transcripts, you have to wait until the limelight passes.

"Master Huanhuan, I don't understand one thing." The uncle said with his chin resting, "With the host's current mana, you can summon Bill's undead, so why don't you directly summon the host's parents?"

"Idiot, I tried, but it still doesn't work." Xing Huan raised the corner of his mouth, "Don't you know that people are always powerless about their own affairs?"

"Well, I'm just a cute artificial intelligence." The uncle made a buzzing voice.

"I can't stand the attack of a girl like you." Xing Huan snorted and started to eat the apple.

At present, he can only summon some ordinary undead. He can neither summon Walt's parents, nor can he summon powerful ghosts - such as those women who died under Jack the Ripper.

However, the uncle's words woke up Xing Huan and made him smile: "Uncle, you are really a genius."

He realizes that planting pumpkins and finding the murderer can go hand in hand, as long as he restores witchcraft with giant pumpkins, he can summon the women who died wrongfully...

"Ah, what did I say?" The uncle scratched his head: "However, when are you going to find the original artist?"

wild man?Xing Huan frowned slightly, only then remembered the existence of this bastard.

In the last world, wild men cling to him all day long.Now, he's in deep trouble and doesn't know which character Wild Man has activated.

Thinking of this, Xing Huan said lightly: "Every time I look for him, this time I will be more arrogant and let him come to me."

"Obviously you are the one who is arrogant every time..." The uncle was speechless and did not mention this matter again.

In the next few days, Xing Huan stayed in the house and occasionally went to the street to buy vegetables.

Not long after, the old man found Bill's body, which surprised Harvey.Harvey scratched his head and couldn't figure out how Xing Huan did it, so he became suspicious of Xing Huan.The old man was so tight-lipped that Harvey took the matter to Scotland Yard.

After a few days, Xing Huan cleaned the house again, and it finally looked like a place where he lived alone.

He glanced at the empty bed, ready to buy a soft pillow.

After changing into plain clothes, Xing Huan put on a dark cape with a hood again, so as not to disturb him again from those aunts throwing vegetables.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked onto the street humming a ditty, an angry voice came from behind him...

"Stay still, put your hands up!"

As soon as the sound fell, it was the sound of reloading the gun again. It could be heard that the speed of the gunman was very fast, and he must have been professionally trained.

However, Xing Huan didn't care about this, he immediately recognized the male voice, and turned his head slowly.

"Hey, I told you to raise your hand, didn't you hear?" Inspector Edward pointed a gun at Xing Huan, with the brown light in his eyes that only wild men have.
