With Fang Hui here, Zhou Zhi will always be on the front line.
God knows how many people Fang Hui parasitized in the steam train.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Zhi was stunned.
Car No. 14.
Plague Exterminator arrived at the scene immediately.
At this moment, the interior of Car No. 14 was filled with panic. The silence maintained by [Interstice Tunnel] who just passed by still exists now.
But the fear in those eyes cannot be eradicated no matter what.
What happened is very simple.
Just now, the steam train Hope drove through a dark tunnel, an almost lightless place.
The original silence was suddenly broken by a scream.
It was a man's painful roar, and for a moment, the man's voice seemed to attract an unknown presence.
There was a sound of flesh being chewed and worn away. When he came out of [Interstice Tunnel], he saw some light. What he also saw was that his throat had been completely hollowed out, forming a terrifying scene of a strange Spiral cylindrical space.
And there was a knife stuck in the man's throat.
Death by cutting throat.
"The disease caused by the sound was not even complete. Under the blessing of the blade of external force, he died quickly."
Dong Qinghe arrived at the fourteenth carriage and looked at the corpse in front of him with a cold face.
[Interstice Tunnel]'s degree of disease is determined based on the decibels of the sound. The man's scream just now was sharp, harsh, and heartbreaking, which also caused the corpse to be distorted.
"Mr. Plague Exterminator... just now, this gentleman was still alive and well just now."
"After... after that tunnel, it's like this..."
On one side, the short man with colorfully dyed hair looked a little unhappy. He resisted retching and said to Dong Qinghe, while he did not dare to put his eyes on the corpse at all.
[The murder weapon] is right here.
Dong Qinghe scanned the passengers in the fourteen carriages, focusing on observing the reactions of the people around the corpse.
[The murderer] should be in there too.
"When traveling long distances, there is always a mixed bag of people on the train."
Dong Qinghe frowned.
As a train crew leader, I have traveled the route Dong Qinghe to Great Capital more than a dozen times. In fact, long-distance travel will indeed breed the ambitions of others. In a long-term closed environment, a lot of malice is also spread.
The key is that after boarding the train, the train crew had no way to quickly contact Pingchang Circuit, let alone find the identity of the deceased or determine the relationship.
"Which of you knows this guy?"
Dong Qinghe looked serious and asked.
The only answer to Dong Qinghe was silence.
"He is a very taciturn gentleman. He basically doesn't talk much."
The short man took courage.
There was no objection around him, which proved that the short man was not lying.
"Using disease to kill people."
Dong Qinghe judgment.
It's hard to do now.
"It would be nice if there was a forensic doctor here."
Dong Qinghe looks extremely serious. If the murderer is determined, as one of the leaders of the train, Plague Exterminator even has the right to punish him on the spot, but now...
"Mr. Plague Exterminator, what should we do?"
"There is a murderer on the train!"
"He is between us, catch him quickly."
The bustling sound made Dong Qinghe feel a little uncomfortable.
It would be easier to eliminate Pestilence.
"Now... what should be done."
Dong Qinghe is very experienced in these matters, and the best solution is to find a scapegoat.
As for whether it was a wrongful conviction or not, it has no particular significance to Dong Qinghe. Long-distance steam trains have certain death indicators.
But it is a last resort after all.
Dong Qinghe still hopes that this matter can be solved more appropriately.
"Using disease to kill people..."
Zhou Zhi listened to Fang Hui's retelling.
In a world where Pestilence is rampant, the method of killing people through illness is quite common.
The murderer was sure that the train would pass by [Interstice Tunnel] and only needed a knife to complete the murder.
"Dong Qinghe It's very urgent. There are nearly a hundred people in one carriage. If the murder case is left unsolved, problems will arise."
Zhou Zhi lowered his head slightly.
This closed train is a small society, and the passengers who spent a lot of money to buy tickets all have their own agendas.
"What should we do?"
"That Plague Exterminator doesn't look very smart, at least not as smart as the two of us."
Fang Hui said confidently.
"If it were me, the bottom line would be to find a random murderer and tell everyone that the murderer has been caught."
Zhou Zhi said, "But this is to stabilize the situation. I still don't want innocent people to suffer injustice. Life is very valuable."
Fang Hui has never quite understood Zhou Zhi's values. "My dear Zhou Zhi, when you were killing people, you were not in your current state."
"It's different. I'm willing to save others, and I'm also willing to kill others. There's no conflict."
"The people I want to save are worthy of being saved by me, and the people I want to kill are worthless, but at least they are worthy of being killed by me."
Zhou Zhi's words made Fang Hui stunned.
"So, it's none of your business?"
Zhou Zhi looked out the window. "Who is the murderer? Just tell me."
Fang Hui blinked. "How do you know I know who the murderer is?"
Zhou Zhi asked Fang Hui: "Is there anything on this train that you don't know?"
When Fang Hui heard Zhou Zhi's words, it looked a little helpful. Then, it coughed slightly and cleared its throat. "This time, things are really not simple."
"I originally thought it was just an ordinary murder, but after I parasitized a few people, I realized that... it wasn't right."
Fang Hui became a little more serious. "[Hope] There are many Plague Exterminator on top of the steam train."
"It's... organized and premeditated Plague Exterminator."
Zhou Zhi's expression moved slightly.
"How many people are there."
Zhou Zhi looked out the window.
"Three to four Official-level Plague Exterminator, and ten Apprentice Plague Exterminator, distributed in each carriage."
Fang Hui whispered, "Actually, I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but these people were very peaceful in the past ten days. I thought there would be no fun, but I didn't expect that a murder occurred today."
"The guy who died was just an ordinary passerby, but the person who took action was a member of that organization."
Why are you just sitting in a train with so many monsters and monsters on the train?
"Formal-level Plague Exterminator, I can parasitize my body at will, but now I am only a real body. Once parasitized, I will be discovered, so there is no way to determine how many formals there are, but I have a rough idea of those trainees. They come from a force called [Fireworks Collective], and they should be a branch of Dark Plague Extermination World."
Zhou Zhi thinks this name is quite poetic. "Seller of fireworks, Dark Plague Extermination World really does a wide range of business."
Fang Hui blinked. "Unfortunately, not really."
"[Fireworks] in our Dark Plague Extermination World, refers to a kind of thing."
"[Smoke Transformation]... Of course, if it's Chengyun Dynasty, it has a pretty cute name."
Fang Hui said with a smile.
"[Crow Scatter]."
