Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

The old lady's house lived deep in the alley.

There is a small two-story house here. She has handicapped legs and feet, so she lives downstairs, and the upstairs is rented out by her.

While muttering that the house might be cursed, the old woman said: "There are four rooms upstairs, where four girls used to live, one committed suicide last year, and the other died of a dirty disease early this year, and now Mary and Anne also... ..."

Duan Yi comforted her a few words, and asked tentatively, "Can we go up and have a look?"

The old woman smiled and said, "You guys go. The weather is fine today, I'll find some quilts to dry in the sun, so you can cover them up at night."

Wu Junlan couldn't bear to hear this, after all they had to rush back at 9 o'clock in the evening, and had to live up to the old lady's kindness.So she stepped forward and took the old woman's arm. "You don't need to dry the quilt, we are fine. How about you teach me how to cook. I have some money here, we can go buy some food."

Winking at Duan Yi, Wu Junlan persuaded the old lady to go out to buy vegetables together.

In this way, Duan Yi, Ming Ming and Zha Congfei remained in the house to explore.

The three of them went upstairs first. The rooms of the two tenants who died before had been locked. According to the old lady, one was unlucky and the other had a dirty disease. No one wanted to live in them.The remaining two unlocked rooms belonged to Mary and Anne.

The three of them entered the two rooms one by one to investigate. Although Zha Congfei kept talking less, he was quite active in searching.He first found a photo of Mary with a man, and then found a photo of Anne with the same man in Anne's room.

There are two letters of TK on the back of the two group photos.

"TK?" Duan Yi reacted, "The woman who was mistaken for the murderer is named Nicole, and her husband is named Tom Hansen, right? Then it must be this man. He is very close to Annie and Mary."

"Yes. It's logical. Generally, clients don't take pictures like this with prostitutes. Having such pictures means that he has a very close relationship with them and can be regarded as a lover."

Tomorrow said, "The police's judgment on Nicole's motive for killing is correct. If her husband was just visiting prostitutes, it may not be enough for her to kill. The reason why she killed so many prostitutes is because their relationship with her husband is already very unusual. "

"If that's the case, it's her husband that she should kill, not those whores." Duan Yi shook his head, and said, "But now it seems that she may not be the real murderer."

It took about two hours to explore both rooms.

Both of these men have a large number of correspondence with Tom, and the content of the letters is very nasty.And reading between the lines, Tom wasn't rich.He was a painter, but the untalented kind, very poor, and he slept with so many whores not because he was willing to spend money on them, but because he was very good at talking and making them happy.

Judging from the content of some letters, sometimes he even had to rely on prostitutes for support.

One of Anne's reply letters to him can be seen: "MyDearHanson, Mary and I are also very anxious to hear about your father's serious illness. You have been haggard a lot recently, and you have less time to come here. I miss you and worry about you .Me and Mary put together some money, come and get it if you have time. I wish your father a speedy recovery!"

After reading these letters, Duan Yi couldn't help feeling: "So in fact, Tom can be ruled out as a suspect. The police ruled him out mainly because he doesn't know how to use a gun. Now we can find that he doesn't hate prostitutes. He likes to sleep with them. He also depends on them for support. He can get money and sex from them. He has no reason to kill."

Nodding tomorrow: "Agreed. But we have to find out where he lives. We need to go and see where he lives."

After a while, there was movement downstairs, it was Wu Junlan and the old lady who came back.

There were no more clues upstairs, so the three of them went downstairs to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the old woman taught Wu Junlan how to cook, and the three men helped her.Lunch was ready quickly, and the five of them had a harmonious meal together.During the period, Duan Yi coaxed the old lady to be very happy, and she couldn't help sighing that the house hadn't been this lively for a long time, and she really wanted everyone to stay here with her every day in the future.

When Duan Yi heard this, his first reaction was sadness. It is not easy for an old man to live alone.

But his second reaction was a little panic - no one knew what the status of the NPCs in these dungeons was, for example, the seemingly weak Jasmine was actually extremely powerful.Don't let the old woman really want to keep everyone here, she will create something to trap everyone.

So Duan Yi withdrew his concern and began to eat quietly.

After the meal, the four players helped clean up the dishes. During the process, Duan Yi asked the old lady if she knew where Nicole lived.The old lady wrote down the address to Duan Yi, and went back to her room to rest because she was sleepy.

Several people discussed that they would search the first floor first, and then go to the nearby area to check the situation. After waiting for an hour, they set off together to check out Nicole's room, who was believed to be the murderer.

After wiping the old dining table clean with a rag, Duan Yi found another toolbox.

The table leg was missing a corner and kept shaking, so Duan Yi chipped a small piece of wood and began to help the old woman mend the table leg, making some small compensation for deceiving the old man.

During this period, the other three people were searching near the living room. Duan Yi had just finished the work and when he was about to join the exploration work, he handed him a glass of water tomorrow.

"Thank you." Duan Yi took a sip of the water, "By the way, did you gain anything from chatting with the homeless in the morning?"

"No." Shaking his head tomorrow, "The man I asked has been bragging about how many girls here he has been with."

When Wu Junlan heard this, she echoed, "It's the same with me. I think he's talking nonsense."

Seeing that Duan Yi finished drinking the water, he took the water glass from him tomorrow and walked to the kitchen. "Anyway, let's go to Nicole's side first. If we don't have any clues later, we'll give the homeless some money and see if they can talk."

Another 40 minutes later, the living room, kitchen, storage room, etc. where the old woman lived were basically searched by four people.No valuable clues were found, and the four of them were about to leave. At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded not far away.

Looking at each other with tomorrow, Duan Yi looked stern, and said to Wu Junlan and Cha Congfei: "You two hide here first, play by ear."

After finishing speaking, he rushed out of the house with tomorrow, walked through the narrow and dirty alleys, and ran straight to the place where the gunshots sounded.

Unexpectedly, just after running a few steps, there was a loud "bang", which was the sound of bullets piercing the air.In the nick of time, Duan Yi was thrown to the ground by tomorrow, his eardrum was almost hurt by the loud noise, it was the bullet that grazed against his ear.

"Damn." Duan Yi couldn't help cursing, raised his eyes and quickly glanced in the direction of the bullet, then grabbed tomorrow's wrist and ran away in the direction of the bullet.

During this process, three more bullets chased after them, and passed by the two heels several times. The next moment, the shooter seemed to have figured out the speed of their running, and made a prediction in advance. The fourth bullet When the bullet hit, it went straight towards Duan Yi's face.

Almost at the moment of one ten-thousandth of a second, tomorrow opened a black umbrella.

The open black umbrella is like the wings of a black angel, wrapping Duan Yi tightly to prevent him from any harm.

On the third floor of a dilapidated house [-] meters away, a shadow flashed in front of the window, and the gunman disappeared.

When Duan Yihe rushed to that house tomorrow, several prostitutes gathered at the door, they were apparently also attracted by the gunshots, and they were chatting together to discuss what happened.

Taking a step forward, Duan Yi was about to ask them if they saw someone running down from the third floor.But before the words were spoken, a scream came from the third floor. "Pauline! Pauline's been killed! My God! Come on!"

The prostitutes gathered downstairs suddenly turned pale with fright, entered the building one after another, and ran to the third floor.

Duan Yi didn't go upstairs immediately, he was observing the group of women.

As expected, the murderer was among the group.

Visually, there are more than a dozen rooms in this small three-story building, and there are at least a dozen prostitutes living in it.

If the murderer is one of them, then her line of action is obvious—shoot Pauline dead in a room on the third floor, then run to the window and observe Duan Yihe tomorrow running out, so she shoots them.The attack failed, and seeing other girls gathered, in order to avoid being exposed, she had to stop, and then mixed into the crowd, pretending to be innocent onlookers.

Duan Yi couldn't help but said: "It's a pity that there is no way to test the gunpowder reaction. Otherwise, if you test this group of people one by one, you may be able to find the murderer directly. There is only one problem that I don't understand—"

Looking towards tomorrow, Duan Yi asked: "The difficulty of the copy increases, and the risk of death increases. I can understand this. But this risk of death must have a trigger point. How did we provoke the gunman to shoot us this time? The gunman is what we want Looking for Jack the Ripper?"

Tomorrow, he looked up to the third floor, stared at the window where the gunman shot just now, and said, "Your guess is reasonable. The gunman must be a prostitute. After she shot and killed Pauline, she mixed with other prostitutes in this corridor. It will appear abrupt, and no one will doubt why she is here, so she can pretend to be onlookers."

"The people we've come into contact with today are old women, homeless people, and as for whores...we've only come into contact with Pauline and Sheffield."

Duan Yi frowned: "Could it be that Jack the Ripper was Xi Fei? But according to the information from the police station, Xi Fei also died later."

"It's just a speculation. We have to look at the details." Ming Ming said.

"Success. Then let's go upstairs and see if we can find a gun in someone's room. Although the murderer may randomly find a room and drop the gun as a frame-up, it's still a clue."

After Duan Yi said this, he was about to run towards the building when he suddenly realized that he was still holding tomorrow's wrist.And he used a lot of force. After all, the two of them were running for their lives just now, and that was the speed of life and death.

"Your wrist is still hurt, does it hurt? Sorry, I didn't notice it just now." Duan Yi hurriedly asked.

Shaking his head tomorrow: "It doesn't hurt."

"Okay. Then... let's go upstairs." Let go of tomorrow's hand, Duan Yi took advantage of the situation to pluck a handful of his hair, and ran towards the building.

"You can continue to hold it." Standing on the spot tomorrow, he said in a low voice.

Duan Yi had already run to the stairs, turned around and asked, "What did you say?"

Tomorrow's right hand lightly squeezed the left wrist, shook his head and walked towards Duan Yi. "Nothing. Let's go."

In the dilapidated third floor, a corridor connected four rooms.

Pauline's room was the one furthest from the landing.

There was only one window in the room, facing the alley where Duan Yi and Mingming walked just now.It is not difficult to speculate that the gunman killed Pauline in this room.Then she looked out of the window and found Duan Yi and tomorrow, so she took advantage of the opportunity to attack them.

The murder weapon was never found, with only six bullet casings at the scene.

These six bullet casings were collected by Duan Yi near the window while paying the prostitutes to go to the door.During the process, he specially gave everyone some extra money, and told them to gather in the corridor on the first floor, watch each other, and not let anyone out of the building, because the murderer was probably among them.

The prostitutes agreed to come down one after another, but when Duan Yi found all the bullet casings and went to the first floor, he found that there were two people missing.

He counted just now, there were obviously 11 prostitutes onlookers, but now there are only 9 left.

Duan Yi frowned: "It's unreliable that you don't do anything after collecting money. You have to refund my money. Where did those two people go?"

A girl hurried forward and said, "They didn't run away! They went to the police station to call the police!"

"Who left?" Duan Yi asked.

She replied, "Sifty and Amy."

Duan Yi cursed silently, and he didn't catch one of them, and it really made people slip away.

Soon someone came over and grabbed the girl who had just answered Duan Yi's question. "Okay, even if he gave the money, we don't need to look at his face. They are not policemen. Who knows what they are doing here? What if they are murderers?"

Her words seemed to awaken the dreamer. The girls who were happy because they took Duan Yi's money just now looked at him with warning eyes.

Duan Yi frowned subconsciously, and then his wrist was held by tomorrow.

Leaning close to Duan Yi's ear, he said tomorrow: "I have basically checked the room on the third floor. We have also taken away the bullet casings. Since they have called the police, the police are coming soon, let's go. At this time If the police didn’t invite us psychics over, we might indeed be taken as suspects. That would be trouble.”

"Well, let's run."

Duan Yi nodded approvingly, sprinkled a handful of money on the ground, and took advantage of the girls grabbing the money, and rushed out tomorrow.

Before the police arrived, they hurried back to the old woman's room, called Zha Congfei and Wu Junlan, and the four ran to the fountain together.

·

"call--"

After a long while, Wu Junlan bent down, panted and supported her knees, glanced at the row of houses opposite the fountain, and asked Duan Yihe tomorrow, "What happened?"

Duan Yi roughly told her what happened, and she couldn't help frowning and asked, "If that's the case, this Xi Fei is really strange."

Duan Yi nodded with a serious look on his face. "Yes. Most of the murderers are prostitutes, so she will not be suspected of appearing in that building after the murder. Among the prostitutes, we only have contact with her today. Xi Fei also happens to live in the same building as Pauline."

"Besides, it happened that Xi Fei ran to the police station to report the crime. I think she took advantage of this time to hide the murder weapon. In this way, she can completely get rid of the suspicion. She is the policeman who went with a prostitute named Amy. But I think she should find an excuse to leave Amy and act alone for a while on the way. We will find out about this by asking Amy alone when we find a chance."

Wu Junlan thought for a while: "Why don't we wait a little later, Zha Congfei and I will find a chance to go back, and we will ask the girl named Amy to see if she has ever been separated from Xi Fei on the way to the police station. If the murderer It's Xi Fei, you two may be slandered by Xi Fei as murderers. If you two are caught, it will be bad."

Duan Yi felt that this method was feasible, so he just told him: "Take the money and go to the clothing store to buy some clothes, dress up in disguise, and cover your face. Don’t be recognized by her. Other things are easy to talk about, but I’m afraid Xi Fei will attack you.”

At this time, Zha Congfei finally opened his mouth, although he didn't say much.

He pointed to the backpack behind him and said, "I have an umbrella. Two. I will protect this sister."

Looking at him in relief, Duan Yi patted him on the shoulder. "Okay. Then be careful, me and I will go to Nicole's house tomorrow. It's 6 pm. Let's gather here."

·

Duan Yihe asked about it tomorrow, and Nicole lived far away from here, so they hired a carriage.

After boarding the carriage, the two followed the carriage around the white church and drove into a fog.

Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Duan Yi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Is this like playing a game and encountering an unfinished map? Going out of the Whitechapel area, there is no need for players to explore. They Just don't build it, just replace it with a blank."

"It's possible." After saying this tomorrow, he took out six bullet casings from his pocket, and then stared at them with downcast eyes.

Duan Yi asked him in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

Ming Ming said: "Why do you think the murderer stopped at that time?"

Duan Yi thought for a moment, and said: "Three possibilities. First, NPCs can't kill players without scruples, and they will be restricted. Seeing you take out the black umbrella, the murderer can no longer attack us today, just like the one at the beginning. The same as Molly's; second, she knew that the gunshots would attract the crowd, she was too late, and she needed to escape first rather than kill us; third—"

Looking at the bullet in tomorrow's hand, Duan Yi said: "Her bullet is gone."

"Well." Nodding tomorrow, "We saw the photos when we were at the police station. The last deceased had a revolver in his hand. And this kind of pistol is a Colt Python revolver, with a total of six bullets."

"The murderer used one shot when he killed Pauline. Not long after we entered the alley, she fired another shot, and then she fired four shots in succession. I used an umbrella to block the last shot. In this way As a result, the six bullets are used up, and if she reloads the bullets, it will be too late. So she can only stop temporarily."

"I understand what you mean." Duan Yi frowned, "It was probably Xi Fei who killed Pauline. Xi Fei used a Colt Python revolver."

The tone became more serious, and Duan Yi said again: "The last deceased was named Rui Yi. She suspected suicide, and what she held in her hand was also a Colt Python revolver, which was the same as Xi Fei. If we infer from this , Xi Fei is the real culprit of the serial murder case. But this is unreasonable. Because Xi Fei will die too, and she will die on October 10."

"Yes. So this whole thing seems very strange." With palms together, he played with the bullet casing in his hand, and asked tomorrow, "Do you remember the file we saw when we were at the police station? About the Pauline case -"

Duan Yi quickly realized that because of his excitement, he spoke a little faster. "I remember that it was written in the case file that there was a bullet casing at the scene of Pauline's death. Now we have witnessed Pauline's death scene, but we obviously took all the bullet casings away."

Tomorrow exhaled softly and said, "This means that we can change history."

·

The carriage drove for about an hour, and finally sent Duan Yihe to the destination tomorrow.

This is a two-story villa located in the suburbs.

After walking around the villa for a week, they found that there was no one inside, but the window was open, so Duan Yi and Mingming jumped out of the window and easily entered the house.

The first floor is the living room, dining room, storage room, and bedrooms that seem to be unoccupied.

After a preliminary search, Duan Yi did not find any special clues, but when he opened the shoe cabinet, the corners of his eyes were bent, and the dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Glancing at him with downcast eyes, he asked tomorrow, "What did you find?"

Duan Yidao: "The host's name is Tom, and the hostess' name is Nicole. Nicole was suspected of being the murderer of the serial murder case and was arrested. In just a few days, a new woman has entered the room. This Tom is really Can't be free. Where did he get so much time to sleep with so many women?"

Hearing this, he followed Duan Yi's gaze into the shoe cabinet, and tomorrow he saw those two pairs of women's high-heeled shoes of obviously different sizes.After a while, Mingming said: "Brother Xiaoyi is very careful."

Duan Yi nodded: "Yes, my mother also praised me, saying that if my father cheated, I would be the first to find out."

Tomorrow, he stopped looking for clues and looked at Duan Yi and smiled. "Then what if your future partner cheats?"

"Then I'm sure—"

"I was wrong. You are so nice. Your partner will not cheat."

"Hey you..."

"Continue to search for evidence."

Duan Yi blinked his eyes twice, for a moment he really didn't know what he was thinking about tomorrow.

——Are young people’s thinking so out of bounds?

Shaking his head, Duan Yi ignored him for the time being, closed the shoe cabinet, and continued to focus on finding clues.

Turning around on the first floor again, I found that there are really no valuable clues here.So the two walked towards the second floor.

Just halfway up the stairs, they didn't expect that there were sounds of unlocking and talking at the door.

Looking at each other, the two ran to the second floor tacitly, and opened the master bedroom.

Looking at the window, it is not high here, Duan Yi discussed with tomorrow: "Just jump directly into the yard from here?"

"Success." Nodding tomorrow.

So Duan Yi raised his arms and pushed towards the window, trying to push it away.Unexpectedly, the window was stuck for some reason.He pushed hard several times, but he couldn't push it away.

But Duan Yi can't tear down the windows violently now, otherwise it will definitely attract people's attention.

While Duan Yi was still thinking of a solution, tomorrow he suddenly grabbed his hand and made a silent gesture.

Duan Yi listened attentively, unexpectedly someone came upstairs and was approaching the master bedroom.

Seeing that the door had been pushed open a crack, Duan Yi and Ming Ming looked at each other again, and they both hid in the closet tacitly.

After that, the scene became more or less embarrassing.

Because the hero Tom didn't come back alone.He brought a girl.

The sound of sticky kisses, the knocking of people against the door panel, the friction of clothes, and the sound of people being thrown on the bed...all were heard clearly through a thin cabinet door. In the ears of Duan Yi and tomorrow.

Duan Yi squatted in the dark closet, with his elbows on his knees, forming a posture of supporting his forehead.

Suddenly, as soon as he looked up, he saw tomorrow close at hand.The meager light came through from the bedroom, illuminating tomorrow's eyes very brightly, and if he read correctly, his ears seemed to be red.

——It is normal for young people to be impulsive.Did he miss a woman?

The author has something to say: Duan Yi: "Which woman are you thinking about?"

Tomorrow: "..." (I'm not thinking of women.)
