The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"If the murderer's goal is General Hansen, then why would she..." Frank Fussen was about to ask the murderer why he chose to stay at the IWC in disguise, but when it came to his mouth, he stopped because he found himself Asked a silly question.

　　 I saw that the location of the National Naval Museum that Hoover Hansen was going to be was just across from the Wanguo Hotel. As long as the location on the hotel floor is a little higher, you can easily see the whole picture of the square in front of the museum.

The matter that Hoover Hansen will come to the museum to carry out the ceremony has been promoted by the museum as a selling point half a month ago, and the English people in Turin are also very interested in it. After all, Hoover Hansen, the Navy Heroes rarely appear in front of the public, they are very mysterious, and mysterious things often attract people.

　　 So a few days after the publicity, the museum's tickets for the day of the exhibition were all sold out.

　　 "Damn it," Frank Fawson couldn't help cursing, saying, "If General Hansen was the assassin, then this matter is not solvable by the special bureau and the police, and the murderer must be caught as soon as possible."

　　 Leo questioned: "There is a murder across the hotel, will the museum across from it be affected, will it still be held as usual?"

"Although it will be affected a little, it will not stop exhibiting." Frank Fussen shook his head and said, "This exhibition is dominated by the navy. It has been prepared for half a year, let alone a murder case, even if it is I send the news that General Hansen will be assassinated, and they will not change the decision to exhibit."

　　 Leo said with satisfaction: "This is very good, I also worry that the museum will be stopped because of the murder."

　　Frank Fusen looked at Leo puzzled, because Leo's attitude made him feel a little puzzled, so he asked: "Isn't it better to stop the exhibition?"

　　 Leo replied coldly: "If I stopped the exhibition, where would I go to find a bait that could lead the murderer out?"

Frank Fawson couldn't help but frowned, he could hear the indifferent emotion in Leo's words, and felt that Hoover Hansen, a naval hero and a major figure in the two realms of Wang Zheng, was no different from Leo in the heart of ordinary people. Otherwise, it would not say that the big man was used as a bait.

　　Obviously, Leo did not think about what would happen to Hoover Hansen if he was successfully assassinated, and would have any impact on the kingdom, even the kingdom's neighboring countries, and the countries of the Mozambican continent.

"It's really an indifferent person." Frank Fusen couldn't help but comment on Leo, but soon he put this matter aside, because Leo's words just made him aware of other important things, and then Confirmed to Leo: "Listen to you, the murderer did not leave Turin?"

Leo said decisively: "Of course he did not leave! If the murderer gave up the assassination and chose to leave, he would not kill Pasaka Gurran. After recognizing the murderer, Pasaka Guran must have guessed that the murderer was preparing What he did, he knew exactly what would happen if Hoover Hansen was assassinated by the murderer. As a deputy to the Panil mission, he was absolutely unwilling to see such things happen, so he would stop the murderer. But he overestimated himself The ability to underestimate the murderer’s determination, let alone the murderer will shoot him mercilessly, so there is this murder case. Since he has already killed Pasakaguran, it means he can’t turn back. Yes, so the assassination will definitely continue."

After listening to Leo’s analysis, Frank Füssen thought that the analysis was reasonable, but he didn’t think the matter was serious, so he said: “The murderer must be crazy, he cannot assassinate successfully. Even without us As a reminder, the murder at the IWC Hotel, which is so close to the museum, will surely attract the attention of the navy and strengthen the security during the development. Now that the purpose of the murderer has been clarified, our special bureau and the police will definitely eliminate the manpower. The murderer is impossible. There is a chance of success."

"Isn't there a chance of success?" Leo saw Frank Fusen's confident look, and he shook his head, saying: "There is no absolute thing, the murderer must have thought of this, but he still shot, that means he is right Assassination of Hoover Hansen is fully assured, even if Hoover Hansen is protected."

　　 "What do you seem to know?" Frank Fawson looked at Leo and asked suspiciously.

Leo did not answer, but looked out of the window, looking at a group of children playing on the street, so he walked out and quickly came to the group of children, followed in the eyes of the group of doubts and vigilance, took out After a dozen pennies, he said: "I want to know the strange things that happened nearby. If you say one, I will give you a penny."

Hearing Leo’s words, the children didn’t open their mouths, they all showed a skeptical expression. In their view, Leo’s behavior was like a lunatic, but the attraction of pennies still kept them from escaping. They looked at each other, One of the weakest children pushed out and asked him to test whether Leo's words were true.

　　 The child looked at Leo in awe, and then looked back at the other children, courageously, he casually said something strange that happened to him recently.

　　After he finished speaking, he had no expectation that the penny he would get from Leo was in Leo's hand, which made him stunned for a long time and couldn't believe it was true.

Seeing that their companions were rewarded with pennies, other people also couldn’t bear the desire for pennies, and they all stepped forward to tell the strange things they knew, fearing that the pennies in Leo’s hands would be taken by others. And several of them argued with each other because they said the same thing, worrying about not getting the penny they deserved.

　　 Soon, dozens of penny change in Leo's hands and pockets spread out in the noisy voices of these children.

　　 Seeing that there were no more pennies, the children stopped talking, each holding a few pennies, and ran away contentedly.

　　 "What are you doing?" Frank Fusson looked at Leo puzzled and asked.

　　 "Look for clues, confirm the guesses in mind." Leo replied with a smile.

　　Frank Fusen wondered: "Looking for clues? From a group of children who don't understand anything?"

"It's because they don't understand anything, so what the children say is more real, and they don't add some subjective imagination and modified answers." Leo turned to look at Frank Fussen and asked: "You were also there I listened to the various monsters that the children said. Do you think the strange things here are related to our case?"

Frank Füssen was stunned. Although he was standing beside him, he didn't care about what the children said, and the babble of the children made him hear nothing at all, let alone remember. Come down, naturally can not answer Leo's words.

Leo did not expect Frank Fussen to answer. He turned back to the house and walked to the attic at the top. Then he walked to the small window in the attic and pointed at the scene outside the window. He said, "Look, this will What reminds you?"

　　 Frank Fusson looked out of the window, and he found that his sight could just pass through the roof of the house opposite, and saw a specially opened public green space in the distance.

At first, Frank Fusson didn't understand Leo's intention to let him do this. After scanning the scene in front of his eyes, he was about to ask Leo to say the answer directly. He flashed in his mind, and then he coincided with another scene in his heart, which made him swallow the words that had come to his mouth again, turned his head and looked out the window again, confirming what he was thinking.

　　 "This is very similar to the scene around the square in front of the museum." After repeated confirmation, Frank Fusen said solemnly.

"It's not very similar. It's exactly the same. The area of ​​the square is very close to the distance from the square to here." Leo refuted Frank Fussen's view, then pointed to the edge of the window, an obvious bump and some traces of dust around it. Said: "The children mentioned just now that the gopher on the turf and the bird flying in the air were shot."

　　 Frank Fusen quickly understood Leo’s meaning, saying: “You mean that the murderer used this as a training ground, and assassination of General Hansen from the heights during training.”

　　 "I think so." Leo nodded.

"Impossible." Frank Fussen shook his head and said, "Here is about 500 calories away from the lawn. The most powerful steam engine crossbow can only produce lethality in the range of 200 calories. There is almost no power in the three hundred card, and the five hundred card is nothing to mention, whether it can be shot is a problem."

　　Leo said: "Yes, the range of the steam crossbow is indeed too far, but if it is a firearm?"

"It’s not possible. The power of guns at short distances is okay. At long distances, unless you increase the caliber and the amount of special ammunition, you can’t have too much power. If you change that way, it’s the same as a cannon, then How could the striking guy carry it casually." Frank Fusson retorted: "And you said that the children said that they found that the hamsters and birds on the lawn were shot, but they didn't mention any loud noises. , So the murderer must have been assassinated with a short crossbow at close range."

Leo did not openly refute Frank Fusen’s words, but answered with actual actions. He saw that he directly pulled out the queen and fired a shot at the distant lawn. Under his deliberate control, the gunshot was very weak, so weak that it was even He couldn't hear it nearby, and the bullet shot easily hit the trunk of a small sapling on the lawn, interrupting the sapling's waist, and the sight of the collapse of the sapling could be seen from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Frank Fussen had nothing more to say. He was silent for a moment and said, "I will warn the navy over there." As he said, he asked expectantly: "On your side? Can you find it?" Is that the murderer?"

　　 "Try it!" Leo looked at the house and said, "That man is very smart and has no useful clues left. He can only be found by other methods."

Speaking of words, Leo left the attic and returned to the two corpses on the second floor, then took out some high-energy substances, crushed them into powder, added some dyes and other things, mixed some water, put it in The inside of the grinder was carefully ground into a muddy water.

Later, he saw that he put this high-energy substance in muddy water, carefully painted a rune magic array composed of Turing roots on the bed, and after drawing it, he stood at a small circle drawn on the end of the magic array. Circle, and motioned for Frank Fussen to stand in another small circle.

After all the arrangements were made, Leo crouched down and put his hand on the root of Turing under his feet. While reciting the spell of the wizard's witchcraft, he injected the wizard's spirit energy into the magic circle to promote the entire rune magic. The array is working.

Frank Füssen was completely attracted by the faint rune magic circle, and it was not the first time he had seen such weird patterns of Turing roots. When he worked with court wizards before, he was More than once, court wizards arranged such Turing root patterns.

　　 It's just that Leo's Turing roots are very complicated, so complicated that he can't figure out what's going on except for a few Turing characters that can barely know the meaning of cry.

Just when all the Turing roots and patterns were shining, the two corpses on the bed that had begun to rot sat up from the bed like a living person~www.readwn.com~ puffy face appeared A dumbfounded look.

　　'S corpse made Frank Fawson startled, his face showing a surprised look, and his hand was instinctively placed on the firearm in his waist. It is no wonder that he will make such a look, because according to his previous experience, any resurrection of the dead body will not be a good thing, usually accompanied by a huge disaster, and the best response is before the dead body becomes a disaster, Shatter the dead body completely, so that it has no possibility of resurrection.

　　However, Frank Füssen finally resisted the urge to smash the corpse and stood quietly in a magic circle composed of Turing roots, watching Leo's movements.

　　 "What is the killer who killed you?" Leo could feel that Frank Fusson was very dissatisfied with his awakening of the dead body, so there was no nonsense, and he went straight to the topic and asked.

　　 "Strange... Strange... Things..." The female corpse made a very vague vibrato with a vocal cord that had not been completely damaged, barely able to hear the general meaning.

　　It was just that this answer was not what Leo wanted, and he knew that he had asked this question too vaguely, even a sober person might not be able to answer it, let alone a dead body.

　　So, he asked again: "What are the characteristics of the murderer?"

"Light...light..." The female corpse spoke another word, and at the same time as the word, the body suddenly shivered violently, and a crack appeared in the skin, emitting a strong light from the crack, The body was enveloped and soon disappeared, and the body was completely ashed at the moment when the body was shrouded in light.
