Chapter 508 Abandoned Station

Philip was gone.

According to the woman, after she found out that her teacher was missing last night, she immediately brought the police to find Philip. But since this morning, I haven't seen him. After asking the flight attendants, I learned that Philip has not appeared since this morning.

Yo, this is interesting.

Two people disappeared on the speeding train in a row, which is more interesting than Conan's case. Of course, Duanmuhuai didn't need to think about any tricks. When he learned that Philip had a relationship with Silver Twilight Cabin, he guessed The other party is probably a heretic. If what he expected was correct, then the woman's teacher reporter must have been threatened by the other party when she was doing an exclusive interview with Philip this time, and that's why she left such a message for the woman after returning.

As for why the reporter disappeared, it is not complicated in itself. If Philip is really a cultist, then he must use sorcerer magic.

As for why he himself disappeared... Could it be that he absconded in fear of crime?

It has to be said that after learning that two people were missing in a row, the flight attendants on the train also became uneasy. Fortunately, according to the flight attendant, they will stop at a temporary station today, and Duanmuhuai also decided to After arriving at the station, I called Anthony and asked him to investigate Philip—I have to say that the communication methods of this era are really speechless. Although there are communication devices similar to mobile phones, they only have signals in cities , Once you enter the deep mountains and old forests or in the Gobi desert like this, there is no way to use it.

It comes down to making a landline call.

To be on the safe side, Duanmuhuai also investigated Philip's room, but it was empty, with no salutes or clothes, as if no one lived in the room from the beginning.

It was another old trick of cultists, Duanmuhuai was tired of watching it.

But it's clear that the trouble doesn't stop there.

When the train arrived at the makeshift station, trouble arose again.

"Mr. Detective, there seems to be something wrong here..."

"wrong?"

Hearing what the purser said, Duanmuhuai was a little surprised, but when he got out of the carriage and came to the station, he understood what the purser meant.

I saw that the entire temporary station was dilapidated, with signs of decay and erosion everywhere. This was no longer as simple as neglect of management and maintenance, it simply looked like it had been abandoned for decades.

"Is this how your station is?"

Duanmuhuai turned his head to look at the purser, who shook his head desperately.

"Of course not, sir, we have just been here before, and it was obviously not like this at that time!"

Hearing the purser's words, Duanmuhuai looked around. Right now, this place is simply a Gobi desert, surrounded by darkness, the sky is covered with overcast clouds, and even a ray of sunlight can't be seen. Stance. Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, touched the head of the little white rabbit protruding from his pocket, and then patted the head of the black cat.

"Go, go in and have a look."

Then, he spoke.

According to the purser, this temporary station is not responsible for transporting passengers, it is mainly responsible for the supplies and maintenance of the train, and it is also for passengers to come out to relax after sitting for a long time, so the station itself is not big, except for a platform After that, there was only a two-story building behind the platform. Of course, this small building looked weather-beaten at the moment, like a cultural relic hundreds of years ago...

"Squeak——"

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand to push open the door, and there was a harsh noise. The dust came over the surface, causing everyone around him to take a step back involuntarily.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Duanmu Huai also stretched out his hand, fanned the ashes in front of his eyes, and then looked into it.

The inside of the small building was also a mess, there was a counter in the middle, and a person was lying on the counter.

"teacher?!"

Seeing that person, the woman who was originally hiding behind Duanmu Huai suddenly screamed, and then she hurried into the small building and ran towards the counter.

"Teacher, what's the matter with you, teacher? You cheer up——ah!!!"

However, before the woman could finish speaking, it suddenly turned into a scream. Upon hearing the scream, Duanmuhuai and Lorena also hastily quickened their pace and rushed to the woman's side.

Just taking a look at the figure, Duanmu Huai immediately understood why the woman screamed. The reason is very simple, the one lying on the counter is a skeleton!

Because of the dim light in the hut before, she could barely see the clothes and outline clearly, so the woman admitted her mistake, and when she got closer... Well, naturally, the true face of Mount Lu was revealed.

"Are you sure this is your teacher?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the shriveled, almost skinny skeleton in front of him, and asked suspiciously, while the woman nodded tremblingly.

"Big, probably...Because the teacher wore it like this before he disappeared, and this coat is custom-made, and there is an NS mark on the neckline..."

Hearing the woman's answer, Duanmu Huai didn't hesitate. He reached out and grabbed the skeleton, then opened his collar, and sure enough, he saw the words NS embroidered on the inside of the collar.

Then Duanmu Huai also found items such as a wallet and a lighter in the clothes. Well, judging from the identity information inside, it is true that the woman's sad teacher did not run away.

But the problem is... the time is not right!

According to the woman, it has been no more than 24 hours since her teacher disappeared last night, but judging from the current condition of the corpse, it has been at least 24 years.

So the most reasonable possibility right now is that someone took off her teacher's clothes and put them on the corpse. Then the root cause is that the woman's teacher made a mistake and killed the victim many years ago, and then the victim's family hid in the train for revenge, and then tried to create this series of events...

Well, that was the set of Detective Conan.

But alas, cultists don't talk to you about science.

Neither can Ke Xue.

The only thing that can be called evidence is the records in the diary held by the corpse.

According to the records in the diary, the reporter did wake up in the middle of the night, but the train did not move forward at that time, but stopped at a station. The reporter became addicted to cigarettes, so he went out to smoke a cigarette, and then when he finished smoking and turned back, he realized that the train that had been behind him had disappeared.

So the reporter was stunned. He searched inside and outside the station, but found nothing, not even half a person here. But the reporter did not give up on this. He decided to leave the station on foot the next morning and go directly to the next station along the railway tracks.

result……………

"I don't know how long I walked along the railroad tracks, but I still came back here. I couldn't leave this place at all. I knew I was cursed, and Philip did all of this! I will never let him go... ...!"

"What next?"

After flipping through the diary, Duanmu Huai didn't say much. This diary can be regarded as a clue of evidence. As for the corpse...

"Take it to the car, and report it to the police station for identification when you get there."

That's right, is it me? Just go to the police station for a DNA test at that time. Thinking about the good, this person is at least much better than the dozen or so hapless people in the museum. At least he can restrain the corpse, and find a cemetery to bury in the future up. The dozen or so unlucky ones who were eaten by the empty ghosts were really dead or alive.

Although reluctant, the flight attendant still found a wooden box to put the corpse in according to Duanmuhuai's request, and then moved it to the warehouse where the goods were stored. Then a group of people hurriedly left the station, and soon the train set off again and moved forward.

"I didn't expect that Mr. reporter would die so badly..."

Back in the carriage, Lorena couldn't help feeling emotional.

"Is that what Mr. Philip did too?"

"Maybe, at least if he is alive or dead, he must be more suspicious than the unlucky reporter who has found the body."

Duanmuhuai drank the black tea and said lightly. He originally wanted to call Ruler Anthony at that station to investigate Philip, but it turned out... Well, it's strange that a station that has been abandoned for decades has a phone that can get through.

But where did Philip go?

Duanmu Huai always felt that this matter was not so simple, the other party put in so much effort to kill people on this train, obviously they were prepared. But it was very unreasonable to run away because of this. If Philip really used magic to kill people, the police would have nothing to do with him without evidence. But if he ran away, wouldn't it mean throwing all the suspicion on him?

It's the same as a car accident. It's okay for you to park on the side of the road obediently and accept the punishment. If you want to escape directly, whether it is your responsibility or not, isn't it all your responsibility?

"——————"

However, when Duanmuhuai was thinking, suddenly, a black shadow passed by the window, Duanmuhuai raised the corner of his eye, glanced at it, and then couldn't help but be taken aback.

Um?

"What's wrong? Mr. Knight??"

Seeing Duanmuhuai's reaction, Lorena asked curiously, while Duanmuhuai shook his head, didn't say anything, just looked out the window quietly. Outside the train window, there is a dry Gobi desert. The thick fog almost covers the whole land, and nothing can be seen. But Duanmuhuai just stared out the window, motionless.

After a while, suddenly, another black shadow passed by Duanmu Huai's eyes!

Seeing that black shadow, Duanmuhuai hurriedly stood up, if he read correctly, that was the station where he and others were at!

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, followed by the voice of the purser.

"Mr. Detective, it's not good, something serious has happened!!"

When he came to the cockpit, Duanmu Huai quickly understood what the purser meant.

As he sees it.

According to the driver's intention, after leaving that station, the train will continue to move forward, and then will enter a tunnel, and then come out of the tunnel to the other side. But after leaving that station, they drove for four or five hours without seeing the shadow of the tunnel. Not only that, they also found that they seemed to be driving back in front of that station again!

The first time they felt that they were dazzled, but the next time...they finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"Well, there should be some problem......"

At this moment, the driver was also looking out the window with a pale face, and the corners of his mouth were blue. The purser also nodded at the side, and then looked at Duanmuhuai anxiously.

"Could it be because of that corpse, should we send it back..."

"Send it back? Where to send it back?"

Duanmuhuai gave the purser a cold look, almost scaring him to the ground, then he turned his head and looked out the window.

"Keep going! I'll figure out a way!"

"yes…………………"

Logically speaking, the purser and the driver of course don't need to listen to the outsider Duan Muhuai, but the current situation is weird, and Duanmu Huai's momentum is so strong, they can only bite the bullet and follow the other party's words.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

The train was still moving forward. In the dense fog, everyone couldn't see anything. Even with headlights, they could only see the rails extending from the fog, and the dry land on both sides...

"call-----!"

Finally, the dilapidated station appeared once again from the thick fog!

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai frowned, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly! Then, a terrifying aura erupted from Duanmuhuai's body!

"roll!!"

"ah-------!!!"

The moment Duanmu Huai yelled, suddenly, there was a beast-like scream from outside, followed by a soft "bang", as if the train had hit something. The train driver was also experienced, and hurriedly pulled the brakes. With the ear-piercing friction sound, the train slowly stopped after moving forward for a while.

“……………………”

At this moment, everyone in the cab looked at me and I looked at you, but Duanmu Huai finally broke the silence.

"What's going on, go down and take a look."

Stepping off the train, the scene in front of me was unbelievable. From the wheels in front of the train to the rails behind, there were crushed and torn remains of severed limbs and fuzzy pieces of flesh and blood everywhere. Seeing this scene, everyone's complexion turned pale, and the purser turned his head to the side in disgust and vomited.

However, Duanmuhuai obviously didn't care about such trivial matters. He walked to the wheel and pulled out a piece of clothes from it. Although there was only one piece of clothes left, it was obviously very elegant in terms of the touch and materials used. In the pocket of the wrecked coat, Duanmuhuai also found a business card.

"Mr. Knight, what did you find?"

At this moment Lorena also approached curiously, while Duanmu Huai turned around and showed her the business card in his hand.

"It seems that we have found the second missing person."

Today, people came to eat hot pot at home. Ben Miao ate a lot of meat, and his stomach was as big as six months.
