The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 63 Mysterious Express

"So, is there a black swan orphanage here?" He Nan looked at the surrounding scenery, weaving together memories and said: "At that time, there were no white swans here."

"It seems to be." Shirley looked around for a while: "I don't remember clearly."

"I'm wondering if there is any connection between the white swan and the black swan." He Nan's tone paused: "Is there any?"

"Hmm..." Miyano Shiho also thought about it for a while: "It should really have nothing to do with it... Or, it was opened by the same group of people, but after the black swan was destroyed, the newly opened white swan started to do human trafficking. It's done."

"...Maybe we can ask the White Swan later." He Nan said, turning his eyes to the phone that was ringing.

Unknown number.

This usually means...guests!
He Nan gave Shirley a wink with some excitement, and she turned off the radio knowingly.

After that, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Mr. He Nan?"

"Exactly. What can I do for you?"

"You got a courier, but you knocked on the door and there was no response. Do I leave it at the door? Or where?"

"Ah... put it in the small supermarket opposite my house, thank you."

He Nan hung up the phone, told Shirley what he had just heard, and asked her if she bought anything else.

And Shirley didn't have a clue after hearing this.

"If I really bought something, it would be impossible to leave your mobile phone number." Shirley turned on the turn signal: "Turn around and go home first, and see what it is."

Ho Nan agrees with this.

For some reason, he had a bad premonition.

"Just don't be a bomb." He Nan retorted casually.

"...If so, it's your fault for killing us." Shirley said expressionlessly.

"Uh." Ho Nan squeezed his sweat, "No, no, no. I don't think it's a bomb anyway, no one should want to kill us yet."

"Last night, that kind of monster came into the house, and now nothing is impossible."

Shirley's words really left him speechless.

...because it really is.

But... Although there is no basis, I just feel that the venom has nothing to do with this matter.

Because express delivery doesn't seem to match its style at all.

This uneasy mood lasted until they stopped by the supermarket.

After paying a dollar as a tip for the other party to help keep the package, the two took it into the car and looked at the package, feeling a little uneasy.

Because, it looks too weird.

An old, old gray-black wooden box with some classical patterns painted on it.

The sender, is anonymous.

The sending address is not written at all.

"I said." He Nan stared at the box vigilantly: "Do you think it looks like an urn?"

"... A bit." Shirley glanced at him with a half-smile, "Anyway, shake it first and listen to the sound inside... Maybe guess what it's pretending to be."

"Hmm..." He Nan put on gloves, lifted them up carefully, and gently buckled them with his knuckles near his ears.

This is a relatively safe way of listening and identification, and the risk of direct shaking is greater.

"There is no special resonance of electronic components..." He Nan's tone paused, and then he said with a little uncertainty: "Well...how should I put it? It sounds like there are things like paper and photos inside."

"Open it and have a look." Shirley said with a serious face, "Let's see if we will be blown to pieces."

"You can't be auspicious when you speak..." He Nan untied the lock on the box with anxiety, and then slowly lifted the lid.

If there are organs inside, some of them can be seen when the lid is almost lifted.

Close in time to avoid triggering.

Fortunately, it doesn't look dangerous.

He finally opened the box with peace of mind, looked at the contents inside, and his heart trembled.

"This...this is...?"

"...My God." Shirley turned her head to look, and was quite shocked.

That was a palpable shake.

Because, there is a series of information related to Basil Homer in the box.

There are even photos of his family's villa in the suburbs.

There, he has another identity different from his real name and the head of the beauty salon: a chess master.

"I want to know how many names he still has." Shirley snorted, "Russian dolls...there is another layer after one layer is opened."

"No, don't worry about how many layers of nesting dolls there are... Who would send this?" He Nan was puzzled: "Who would have such a thing in their hands..."

"The more important thing is why he knew we were targeting Basil Homer." Shirley's expression was solemn: "Could it be that the interrogation of the turkey was revealed...?"

"It's unlikely... No matter what, someone is secretly helping us now." He Nan became more and more strange as he thought about it: "I have to ask the courier just now, who sent it here."

"It's basically useless." Shirley reminded him: "Customers can legally anonymize and hide the sending address. They can't even ask about the former, and they can't disclose a word about the latter to protect the confidentiality of customers."

"You have to try it?" He Nan still rang the phone just now.

However, the prompt is "Sorry, the number you dialed is an empty number".

"... Empty number?" He Nan frowned: "Did you deliberately disguise the number... Sure enough, the courier also has problems."

"Maybe the person who sent the courier is the one who sent the courier." Shirley shook her head: "Forget it, there is no way."

"If the camera is allowed to be placed outside, we might have a clue now." He Nan felt deeply regretful: "We can only take a look at these materials first."

Although there was nothing that could be used as evidence, what was written above contained a lot of information, allowing them to understand Basil Homer more clearly.

In general, it can be summarized as the following points.

1: Basil Homer is obsessed with chess and is very good at it.But that's not the only reason he calls himself a chess master.

He had a serious illness five years ago, and then he recovered miraculously.He claimed that it was all because a wizard in the dream cured him with witchcraft, and he has been addicted to witchcraft ever since.

Later, he successfully made several black magic chess pieces out of human bones.

King, queen, chariot, bishop, knight, and guards are six chess pieces, one black and one white.These chess pieces can only resonate with those whose souls match them, and ordinary people's forced use will cause their lifespan to be eroded by black magic.

In the document, it is only mentioned that the effects of using black and white chess are summoning, black chess summons spirits, and white chess summons entities. The specific effects are not introduced in detail.

2: Although the chess master Basil Homer likes chess and has a high level, he has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like to socialize with others.There are not even any guards in the villa.He spends only a small amount of time in this villa every year on vacation, and the rest of the time he stays in his sinful underground empire.
