Chapter 508 Mysterious Disappearance

In any case, since the police were here, Duanmu Huai didn't object to inviting them in. When they entered the carriage and saw Duanmu Huai, the two police officers were startled, but fortunately they still knew how to behave. There was no overreaction to Duanmuhuai.

Duanmuhuai finally learned about the situation from the policeman.

It turns out that someone was not killed, but someone was missing.

Missing?

On this train traveling at 180 kilometers per hour? ? ?

Duanmu Huai couldn't help but glance out the window subconsciously. Although he couldn't see anything, he could still hear the rhythmic clanking of the train.

Could it be that the other party can't fly?

But just check, just check. A carriage is only so big, so Duanmu Huai doesn't care. After all, he doesn't think these people can dig out a body from under his wardrobe, bed, etc. You know The bell girl has been lying next to her, and there is Lorena guarding outside. It's a shame that people in this world have such abilities.

As expected, the group of policemen searched the place and found nothing special, so they apologized to Duanmuhuai and left the carriage, while Duanmuhuai continued to sleep.

Although it was indeed strange that someone was missing in a moving train, he was not Conan. Who wanted to investigate such things, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.

However, just because Duanmu Huai thinks so, it doesn't mean that others think so too.

Early the next morning, just after enjoying the steaming breakfast, Duanmuhuai's carriage received an uninvited guest.

"I heard that you are a detective, please help me!!"

Looking at the woman crying to him in front of him, Duanmu Huai was also speechless.

Good guy, when I was in Arkham City, I was so idle that I couldn't even pick up a case. Why did a case come to my door now that I was out of the city?

Could it be that Arkham City has bad feng shui?

"Forget it, tell me what the situation is first."

The woman introduced herself. She was a small employee of a financial magazine. She was on a business trip with her teacher. Her teacher was a financial reporter. The reason why she took this train this time was because of the target of their interview, the entrepreneur Mr. Philip. They were allowed an exclusive interview opportunity, and tickets were also prepared for both of them.

As a reporter, such good things as exclusive interviews are naturally rare, so she boarded the train with her teacher. After dinner yesterday, her teacher was invited to the first-class carriage room where Philip was for an interview. She, the little follower, was responsible for waiting for the teacher to come back in her seat.

As a result, an hour and a half later, her teacher came back from the interview, but his face was ashen, as if something terrible had happened. Naturally, the woman asked out of curiosity. At that time, her teacher just glared at her and told her to stop talking. He also asked the woman to prepare to pack up all the gifts and they would get off the bus immediately when they arrived at the transfer station tomorrow.

Not enough, before going to bed, her teacher also specifically warned the woman that if anything happens to her, she must be careful about Phillip! !

The woman was also frightened by her teacher's serious look. She nodded and said nothing more, but she was also curious and uneasy, and she didn't sleep well for half the night. Then in the middle of the night, the woman wanted to get up to go to the toilet, but found that the teacher who was originally lying on the bed was missing!

At first, the woman thought that the teacher had also gone to the toilet, but she searched around and found no sign of her teacher. He was not in the toilet, the dining car or other places. At this time, the woman remembered what the teacher said to her before turning off the lights, so she hurriedly found the police officer and asked for help.

So there was the scene where Duanmu Huai was woken up in the middle of the night yesterday.

And now she comes to the door, which means...

"Your teacher hasn't been found yet?"

"Yes."

The woman nodded with red eyes.

"They searched all over, but found nothing, but I know it must have been Phillip!"

"Um……………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai also started thinking. It was obvious that there was a suspect. Since her teacher specifically said this to her before going to bed, it meant that he must know something that no one should know. As for the disappearance, he was probably silenced by Philip, so the next question becomes, how did that guy do it with such a big train?

Here, we must first explain the structure of this train.

First of all, the front is naturally the front of the car, which goes without saying. Behind the front of the car is the cabin where the flight attendants are, followed by a second-class cabin, a first-class cabin, the dining car, and then the first-class cabin where Duanmu Huai is - there's nothing we can do about it, after all, he occupies the cabin alone. The entire carriage can only be placed at the end, otherwise it will get stuck directly if it is placed in the middle.

In addition, this is a tourist train, so there are not too many people. There are about ten passengers in the second class, and six passengers in the first class occupy three rooms. Among them, Philip lived alone in one room, then a couple lived in one room, and then a family of three lived in one room. The six of them occupied three of the four rooms in the first-class cabin.

Then there are Duanmuhuai and Lorena.

The second-class cabin is an ordinary sleeper carriage, while the first-class cabin is a soft sleeper. Only wealthy people can afford single rooms like Duanmuhuai's. But no matter what, the train car was so big, and the two policemen walked from beginning to end, but couldn't find any clues about the female teacher, which also made her confused.

Later, one of the police officers saw that the woman was really panicking, so he told her that the person living in the first class cabin was a detective, and she could go and find him...

In short, it was a headache and he didn't want to bother with this, so he pushed it onto himself?

"Forget it, I'll go and see first."

Anyway, he was just sitting there doing nothing, and now was not his era, and he could use a tablet to surf the Internet when he was bored. Mobile phones were still new these days, and it was really boring to stay in the room. With nothing to do, he followed the woman to see what was going on.

But for Duanmu Huai, walking in the carriage was not very friendly. As we all know, the doors of the train were small and narrow, and the passages in the carriage were also small and narrow. Duanmu Huai also leaned sideways, and took out the spirit of the protagonist in the adventure movie who crossed the gaps in the ruins, and finally got from the first class cabin to the second class cabin where the woman was.

The second class cabin was similar to the hard sleeper cabin, with two layers of beds, but because there were not many people, except that the space was slightly smaller, it was still acceptable. The woman and her teacher lived in two lower bunks, and luggage bags and suitcases were placed around them. It seemed that they were also heavily equipped.

"These are all filled with some equipment for reporting and filming."

The woman was a little embarrassed to explain to Duanmu Huai. After all, in their line of work, filming equipment is definitely indispensable, and they must be good things, not those travel goods worth a few hundred yuan. This is one of the reasons why the woman followed her teacher to participate in the interview as a little follower.

After all, these equipment are so expensive, a camera costs thousands or tens of thousands, and it would be troublesome if it was lost.

"Did your teacher leave anything behind?"

"No."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, the woman shook her head. According to her, when her teacher disappeared, his coat and wallet were gone, as if he had gone out. So she thought her teacher went outside to smoke or go to the toilet, but she couldn't find him after searching for a long time...

"So, he should have brought something with him when he went to interview the man named Philip."

Duanmu Huai remembered that reporters usually use recorders or video recorders for interviews, and if not, they will take notes.

"No, I searched everywhere, but I didn't find anything of the teacher's."

"Look through it again."

"Okay."

Although she was a little surprised by Duanmu Huai's request, the woman nodded, and then began to reopen the suitcase and travel bag, and searched one by one. Duanmu Huai stood there, staring at her movements. In fact, Duanmu Huai himself did not intend to search, on the one hand, his body was not very convenient, and on the other hand, he had a more suitable assistant.

"Meow."

Sure enough, just after the woman finished searching the suitcase and opened the travel bag next to it to pour out the things inside, the black cat Lingnu lying on Duanmu Huai's shoulder had a bright look in her eyes, as if she had discovered something, and suddenly jumped down onto the bed, then stretched out her claws and grabbed the travel bag.

"Wow! What's going on?"

Seeing this black cat suddenly appear, the woman was also startled, and Duanmu Huai's eyes lit up at this moment.

"Wait, let's see what's in this travel bag?"

"Hey? There's nothing in it?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the woman was stunned for a moment, then she reached out and touched the edge of the travel bag that the black cat was holding, then she was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Duanmu Huai.

"Mr. Detective, there seems to be a note hidden in it!"

"Take it out."

"Okay."

The woman also nodded, then reached into the travel bag, and then turned it over. At this time, Duanmu Huai saw that there was actually a secret bag sealed inside this travel bag... Well, I have to say that her teacher is really an old hand. Although this kind of secret bag can't hold too many things, but if you put a note in it, it's obviously not noticeable to ordinary people, right?

The woman took out the note, took a look, and then her face suddenly changed, and then she looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Mr. Detective, this......"

"What's wrong?"

Duanmu Huai reached out and took the note from the woman, and then saw the content on the note, and he also raised his eyebrows slightly.

It was a financial list, which showed Philip's money transfer to an organization, and the name of the organization was... Silver Dusk Hut!

This is a cult organization!

Duanmu Huai knew about this Silver Dusk Hut!

On the surface, it is an elite club for the upper class, but in fact it is a cult organization. And unlike other cult organizations, Silver Dusk Hut does not believe in or serve a specific evil god. This group of people is completely more about quantity than quality. From Nyayog Abhos to Migois, all kinds of monsters and aliens are not spared.

It can be said that most of the troubles in this world (if not all) are basically caused by this broken organization!

And now, her teacher obviously found that the entrepreneur named Philip was related to this organization, so he was targeted?

In short... Go catch him first!

Although Duanmu Huai had no evidence, what evidence did the judge need to arrest someone? He came to the first-class cabin aggressively, kicked open Philip's cabin door, and then...

"Where are the people???"

Looking at the empty cabin, Duanmu Huai was also dumbfounded.
