Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"Huh...huh...the gentleman inside, huh...huh...I know you are an Extraordinary, please open the door, I have something important to ask you? Anyway, please open the door first..."

There was a burst of weak words outside the door, and Dorothy couldn't help being slightly taken aback after hearing the words.

'What do you want me to do?And this voice...'

Dorothy thought like this, and then she controlled a gecko carcass puppet released in advance and crawled out from the gap under the door of the private room. Looking at the scenery outside the door, she found a blood-stained man clutching his abdomen. Dorothy, who was leaning against the door frame, panting palely, saw this scene through the vision of the puppet gecko, and her heart froze.

"Sure enough, he was injured, and it was very serious. Judging by his appearance, it seems that he didn't come to trouble me..."

After confirming the situation outside the dream, Dorothy manipulated Edric in front of the door to open the door of the private room. The man outside the door stepped in immediately and sat on the ground weakly. Edric also He closed the square door immediately, and asked the man in front of him with a pistol in his hand.

"Who are you? What is your identity? What did you encounter? What do you want from me?"

Edric asked bluntly, and the other party looked at Edric after taking a few breaths, and said solemnly.

"I am Sodod Short, a captain of the Ulster Security Bureau. I was attacked on the way of the transfer mission. The items I transferred were robbed, and I was seriously injured by him. Now I Relying on the strengthening of the suffocation seal, I can't hold my breath for long... Phew..."

'It's actually from the Anyin Bureau?And if it's Ulster, isn't it the city I passed through not long ago?He said he got on the bus there? 'Listening to Sodold's words, Dorothy, who was hiding under the bed, thought of this, and then manipulated Edric to continue asking.

"What are you transporting? Who is it that attacked you?"

"Huh...huh... I don't know, I don't know these things, that item was sent back by the investigation team we sent to the Razor Mountains, and the task I was assigned was to escort this thing to the Tivian Headquarters. And that The guy who attacked me, I don't know who it is... I can only confirm that he is a "shadow" Extraordinary, it may be a black earth, can walk through the wall, it is very likely that the main "shadow" and auxiliary "stone" The 'Wall Walker'..."

'Wall walker?It was said in the book that Aldrich gave me before that if the main 'shadow' and the auxiliary 'stone' take the elemental route, they can advance to become a wind master. It seems that this wall walker was promoted through other promotion rituals... '

Listening to Sodod's words, Dorothy thought so. She understood that even if the main and auxiliary spirituality is the same, the difference in the promotion ceremony will result in different ranks after the promotion, such as the "hungry" of the "cup" and the "thirst". "Taster".

Just as Dorothy was thinking about something, Sodod's breathing became more and more rapid. He stared at Edric with wide-eyed eyes and continued.

"Huh...huh...Although, although I don't know which Extraordinary you are and which organization you belong to, but...but now I want to ask you to take back the items I transported! Then, then help me send it to Tivian's The General Bureau of Anyin Bureau, as long as you can deliver the things there, the people in the General Bureau will definitely give you a generous reward... That thing is in my box, although I don't know what is in it... But it must not be left behind To the hands of those dangerous associations and cults...uh...uh..."

Just as he was speaking, Sodod's body began to tremble, his eyes widened, and he looked at Edric and said the last words.

"please……"

As the life-killing effect on Sodod's body began to fade, he tilted his head after spitting out the last mouthful of blood, and greeted death with his eyes wide open.

Chapter 170 Cases

"please……"

After saying the last words, the man named Sodod died in front of Dorothy's eyes. Looking at the scene in front of him, Dorothy, who was still hiding under the bed, confirmed with the corpse puppet ring that the other party was real. After he died, his expression became serious.

Getting out from under the bed, Dorothy directly took out the magic box and opened it on the ground without saying a word, then pulled Sodo with the corpse puppet ring and let him jump back to the magic box with Edric. In the middle, after putting away the magic box, only Dorothy was left in the whole private room.

Hearing that Sodod might be being hunted down, Dorothy naturally had to put the body away, otherwise it would be bad if it was seen.So Dodd had roughly bandaged his wound before coming here, and didn't bring the blood all the way.

After putting away the corpse, Dorothy sat back on the sofa and began to think seriously. At this time, she was thinking about the words that Sodod had just said in her heart.

'This man named Sodod, who claimed to be the captain of the Ulster Anyin Bureau, got on this train to deliver something to the Tivian Headquarters. Those who were robbed.

"This guy may be a 'lamp'. It is estimated that when he was fighting that 'Shadow', he wanted to use his ability to search for his traces, but who knows, he searched for me instead, and put the 'Shadow' in my ring It is estimated that this guy is all consumed...

"He knew of my existence, so he came to me for help when he was dying. To him, I was a Beyonder who didn't know the details, and another Beyonder from the 'Shadow' was clearly hostile to him and wanted to snatch me. He escorted the things and harmed him, so he asked me for help with the mentality of giving it a try, and lured me with the reward from the Anyin General Administration...

'So... should I pick it up? '

Sitting on the sofa, Dorothy thought of it like this. It is a very risky thing to be hostile to a "shadow" of the black rank. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with her, so she can completely ignore it. .

'Anyway, the Anyin Bureau is always an official organization, and it is very likely that they are openly opposed to dangerous associations and cults like the Holy Communion. To be honest, I am completely happy to take action against the Extraordinary of these organizations, They are the source of my main extraordinary resources.

'Besides, the other party is a 'shadow', and I happen to be short of 'shadow' recently. When I fought those two bonemakers, I used up all my spiritual reserves, and I used up a lot of my own accumulation. Now even the ring The 'shadow' stored in it is gone, it is indeed time to add a 'shadow'. '

Thinking like this, Dorothy is really short of "Shadow" now, and there is only 1 point accumulated in her body, after the "Shadow" storage was emptied in the school battle.Dorothy originally wanted to buy some "Shadow" storage items from Aldrich, but the other party planned to take risks in some dangerous places in order to restore her strength. Dorothy went shopping at the White Stonemasons' Guild branch in Tivian.

Therefore, now Dorothy has only 1 point of "shadow" on her body, which is actually very unfavorable to Dorothy who tends to hide herself behind the scenes, so she also has " "Shadow", and this time, if the "Shadow" can be killed, maybe something can be gained, and there is a chance to get the reward from the Security Bureau.

'If it is handled well, maybe we can get rid of that 'shadow' safely. '

Thinking of this, Dorothy decided to intervene in this matter, knowing the Extraordinary of "Shadow" a little bit.

"First of all...to find him, what the guy wants has already been obtained, he may be looking to get off at the moment, until the next train stop is my chance..."

While thinking like this, Dorothy walked out of her private room and walked towards the front of the train. After crossing a carriage, she found the conductor's duty room behind the conductor's room, and found the conductor on duty inside. .

"Mr. Conductor, where are we now? How long will it take to reach Tivian?" Dorothy asked the conductor in the duty room, but the other party answered politely.

"Miss, we are now on the border of Hesse County. If everything goes well, we will arrive at Tivian tomorrow afternoon."

"So when is the next time the train stops? Will it stop for a long time like before? The stopped train feels so boring. I like the train to start even more~" Dorothy continued, pretending to be naive. asked, but the conductor said it after thinking about it for a while.

"In this case... um... the next stop should be in Shanmu Town. The train has just passed the Yueshu River Iron Bridge. According to the usual practice, it will be there in about 10 minutes. But don't worry, this lady, We are there just to deal with garbage and supplement food, not to replenish water and coal to overhaul machinery, so it will be restarted soon.”

"Ten minutes...thank you!"

After bidding farewell to the conductor, Dorothy walked back to her own carriage. Walking in the aisle of the carriage, her expression immediately changed from a naive smile to a serious one.

'10 minutes... There are only 10 minutes to get that guy out of the whole train and solve it. It's very difficult, almost impossible... If what Sodold said is true, that guy has the ability to wear clothes. The ability of the wall, so once the train stops, he can immediately pass through the wall and get off. Any part of the whole train may be the alighting point, and there is no way to stop him. If you want to catch him, you must first not let the car stop ...but how can this be done? '

Dorothy thought deeply, and then, she had a solution.

Thinking of a notice, Dorothy quickly started to walk on the aisle of the carriage, and after crossing another node quickly, she came to a carriage that still had a trace of white smoke in it. Among them, she saw a private room with an open door.

Before quickly coming to this private room, Dorothy carefully inspected the interior of the private room, and found traces of blood dripping inside.

'This is the place where Thordod and another Extraordinary clashed. '

While thinking, Dorothy looked around, and after looking around, she murmured.

"It seems necessary, a little arrangement..."

……

In the dark night, the roaring train continued to gallop forward on the rails.

In front of the first-class carriage, in the duty room of the conductor at the head of the train, several conductors on duty were chatting boredly in the duty room while playing poker.

"Hey... what happened to car No. [-] just now, so much smoke."

"Who knows... I thought it was a fire, but after I went there, there was no light at all, only smoke. I opened the window and scattered it and it was over."

"Hey... Let me tell you, I just met a little lady in the stands, she looks so cute..."

……

Just like that, several conductors talked to each other while playing cards, and suddenly, a sharp and clear shout came from the direction of the first-class carriage.

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Hearing this yell, several conductors were taken aback and glanced at each other.

"What happened again?"

"I don't know, go and see."

Hastily put down the cards in their hands, the conductors hastily put on their hats, ran out of the duty room, and ran towards the direction of the sound. After a while, they ran to the target location, which was the third carriage.

When they came to the carriage, they saw that the doors of several private rooms had been opened, and the passengers inside came out together and gathered at the door of one private room.

Realizing that something was wrong, several conductors hurried to the private room where they gathered, and then looked at the faces of the crowd with panic expressions. Among the crowd, a lady was slumped on the ground, With a panicked expression, he pointed to the open door of the private room ahead with trembling hands.

"Dead...dead...dead!!"

The noble lady said with trembling horror, the conductors' hearts tightened suddenly when they heard it, and then hurriedly cut in from the crowd, looking into the private room.

Then, they saw a man in his thirties, wearing a dark blue jacket and gray trousers, clutching his stomach and lying on the floor of the private room. A large amount of blood flowed from his abdomen to form a pool of blood on the ground. His face was lifeless. The upper eyes are round and wide open, and the appearance is abnormally frightening.

Seeing this scene, all the conductors were also stunned, they looked at each other a little bit at a loss.

"He, he's dead? This, this is... what happened!?"

One of the conductors finished speaking in surprise, but a voice from the crowd responded to him.

"The murder case..."

Hearing this sound, the conductor and many passengers turned their heads together, and then looked at a tall and thin man in a windbreaker, a top hat, deep eye sockets and an aquiline nose.

Looking at the many gazes in front of him, Edric said solemnly.

"Unfortunately, ladies and gentlemen, we are afraid to witness a despicable murder tonight."

Chapter 170 "Inference"

In the dark night, the roaring steam train was still speeding forward. The originally peaceful night on the train was broken by a sharp cry, and a bloody tragedy was presented in front of everyone.

The dark-skinned conductor who was grooming his beard was urgently called out from the conductor's room by the conductor, and while wearing a hat, he was guided all the way to the scene of the tragedy, a private room in the third carriage.

"Please let it go."

Squeezing in from the crowd of onlookers, the conductor came to the private room, and as the conductor said, he saw a male corpse covered in blood in the private room.

"It's really dead..."

Looking at the male corpse, the train conductor murmured, and then his eyes narrowed, and he saw that there was actually a living man in the private room. Murder scene.

"Hey, who are you?"

Looking at the man at the scene of the murder, the conductor spoke bluntly, while the conductor beside him answered in a helpful manner.

"Captain, this Mr. Ed claims to be a detective. As soon as he saw the scene, he said that there was a murder here. We asked you to come here."

"Detective?" Hearing what the conductor said, the train conductor couldn't help but look suspicious, and at this time the man named Ed in the private room also stood up, turned around and looked at the conductor behind him.

"Hello, Mr. Captain, my name is Ed, and I'm a detective. I've just inspected the scene and confirmed some information. I'm afraid I'll need your assistance later?"

Edric said to the train conductor quite politely, but the train conductor was slightly taken aback and then asked?

"Mr. Detective, what have you confirmed?"

"Some basic information, such as the cause of death of the deceased, was due to fatal wounds on the chest and abdomen, and judging from the wounds, the murder weapon was a small knife inside a dagger. Judging from the rigor and body temperature, the time of death of the deceased was not More than an hour."

Edric said while pointing to a ground, where there were several severed fingers and a pistol.

"The fingers of the deceased's right hand were cut off, and a pistol with a bloody grip was found under the sofa, which proved that the deceased had fought with the murderer before his death. The deceased held a gun for self-defense. After the murderer cut off his fingers and knocked down the gun kill him."

"I think we are facing a vicious murderer, Mr. Che Zhang."

Standing in front of the door of the private room, Edric pointed to the scene in the private room and said, his demeanor was indifferent, his expression was calm, and he looked extremely professional, which stunned the surrounding crowd including the captain. stunned.

"Bringing a Hudson-24 was actually killed with a knife. It is true that the murderer is indeed a ruthless person. So, Mr. Detective, what should we do now?"

The train conductor, who was a little bit bluffed, asked Edrick. It happened that it was the first time he encountered such a thing and didn't know how to deal with it for a while. It would be great to meet professionals now.

Listening to the conductor's words, Edric asked the conductor seriously.

"Mr. Coach, when is the next stop?"

"We're going to Shanmu Town soon, and we'll stop there for a while for supplies." The train conductor replied bluntly, while Edric spoke immediately.

"Can't stop, sir, if it stops now, the murderer is likely to jump out of the window and escape. Before the big city has enough police force to take over the train, it can't stop.

"Mr. Car Captain, even if we can't help the police catch the murderer, we still have to keep the murderer in the car. This is our duty as a citizen of the Kingdom. We cannot condone evil."

Edric spoke righteously to the conductor, and the conductor nodded after hearing this.

"Well, what you said is very reasonable, Mr. Detective. Then we won't stop in Shanmu Town. The next city is Montoya. If we keep going like this, we will be there in about four hours. I will send a telegram to the Montoya train. Let them call the police and get the police ready."

When the train conductor replied, Dorothy, who was hiding behind the crowd, smiled when she heard his reply.

'This time you won't be able to run for a while. '

Smiling, Dorothy continued to manipulate Edric and spoke to the driver.

"Mr. Commander, having such a murderer mixed in the car is really worrying. I want to try to find him first. If possible, I would like to ask the crew to cooperate with me."

"It would be great if we could find that crazy guy, but Mr. Detective, do you really have that ability?" The train conductor said with a hint of doubt. A strange guy who calls himself a detective, and thus asks the entire crew to assist him.

Facing the conductor's question, Edric said with a smile.

"Of course you can trust me, Your Excellency, an army officer who participated in the colonial war on the continent of Ufiga."

Hearing Edric's words, the train conductor couldn't help being taken aback, and then spoke in astonishment.

"how do you know?"

"Because my puppet found your framed military photo on your office desk, and all your information is clearly written behind the photo..."

Dorothy, who was behind the crowd, thought of this. She guessed in advance that she might need to show something to convince him that she wanted to cooperate with the conductor, so when she asked the conductor to find him, she sent a small corpse doll to sneak into his office. went.

"Hehe, it's just some trivial reasoning, nothing to worry about."

Edric chuckled and responded to the train conductor's words, and the other party continued.

"It's amazing Mr. Ed, I did serve in Uffiga, how did you deduce my information?"
