Chapter 1873 (1/2)
After leaving the time-consuming troubles to detective Valentine, Fang Zheng lived a leisurely life. His daily work was reading the newspaper, drinking tea, chatting with nimfu, going out for a walk, eating with nimfu and ASAKURA Liangzi, and contacting the temple of heaven.
Of course, Fang Zheng also reported the situation here to the goddess of order, but as he thought, neither fina nor the collection of goddess of order knew what the noumenon had done in the world, nor why she had done so, so Fang Zheng had to continue to investigate.
During this period of time, according to the news in founder's newspaper, the world is full of demons.
That's right. It's all about magic.
Generally speaking, in other world, the front pages of big multimedia and serious newspapers cover some national affairs, then discuss some social and legal issues, and then other entertainment, gossip, sports and other news. But in this world, whether it is financial and legal system or political entertainment, all kinds of media have reported all kinds of mysterious events in various places.
For example, in the spring of a certain place, there was group madness and hysteria, and many people who did not know each other suddenly began to shout that the end of the world was coming, and then they smashed, looted and burned the whole city. However, half a month after the police arrested these lunatics, they suddenly woke up and said that they had no knowledge of what they had done.
There are also artists who jumped from a building to commit suicide in full view of the public after they painted a profane and horrible painting, and a group of heretics besieged the police.
All in all, all kinds of media are full of suicides, homicides, group madness, the nonsense of artists, and some weird letters from readers that make people think that editors should be sent to mental hospitals Well, all in all, I just feel that the world is a mess.
Of course, as the material of horror novels, it is still very interesting.
By the way, detective Valentine has gained a lot during this period.
As a detective, he is still very capable of action. Within a few days, Valentine reported the information he investigated to founder. He went to ask friends of the police station according to the photos taken by the previous jewelry (the jewelry was returned to founder directly because Valentine felt disgusted). As a result, he soon learned that the pattern on the jewelry was lost together with the one cracked by the police station before It's related to the population case.
At that time, the police were investigating a cult gathering in New Orleans. They arrested a group of cult members. At first, they thought it was just a group of ordinary voodoos, but with the further arrest and investigation, the police thought it was a new religious group they had never seen before, so they asked archaeologists and anthropologists for help.
Valentine himself got information from his colleagues in the police department and then went to visit Professor William Channing Weber, an anthropologist who had solved the problem for the police. Although Valentine tried to have a further discussion with Professor Weber on this issue, it was a pity that Professor Weber was very old and seriously ill at that time, and it was difficult to communicate with others. The information Valentine got from him was that the pattern of his brooch and the strange statue that the police had asked him to investigate were all related to a very strange religious department on the west coast of Greenland It's about the family.
Then Valentine went to Greenland and sent a message back to founder.
This time, however, his tone seemed to be a little hasty. He told Fang Zheng that he had indeed investigated a mysterious Inuit group in Greenland and learned some terrible things. He would continue to investigate and report again. Then, before Fang Zheng spoke, detective Valentine hung up in the name of worrying about eavesdropping.
When he received a phone call from detective Valentine a few days later, the detective's voice began to distort and even showed signs of hysteria. He asked Fang Zheng to come to daniting port in New Zealand immediately to join him. He found some terrible things, but he was not sure Well, hearing this, founder knows he's looking for the right place.
Probably.
After that, Fang Zheng took nimfu, ASAKURA Liangzi and Francis to New Zealand to meet the detective at the designated hotel.
But
”You look terrible, detective Valentine.”
Looking at the pale and thin cheeked detective Valentine in front of him, Fang Zheng can't help sighing. However, Valentine nervously waved his hand and motioned Fang Zheng not to speak. Then he quickly opened the door and looked around, as if worried about being watched by someone. Then he quickly closed the door.
Not only that, founder also found that almost all the doors in Valentine's hotel rooms were locked, including the windows, which were covered tightly, even the mirrors.
”To tell you the truth, Mr. van Helsing, if you don't come again, I think I may break down...”
As he said this, Valentine made a gesture behind him. Fang Zheng saw a red haired woman lying on the bed not far away. She was in a coma at the moment,.
”Who is this?””Her name is Wendy, and she is Professor Weber's granddaughter. Before, Professor Weber and I said we would investigate the matter. Because he was seriously ill and could not act, he asked his granddaughter to help me investigate.”
”Oh...”
Fang Zheng takes a meaningful look at the red haired woman, and then stares at Valentine.
”You take the money I gave you to pick up girls?”
Even in detective stories, it's a routine.
”No, I'm not...”
In the face of Founder's inquiry, Valentine seems a little embarrassed, but he also quickly diverged from the topic.
”These are...”
”They are my assistants, and this is my client.”
Fang Zheng introduced each other to them, then sat on the sofa and looked at Valentine.
”Well, detective Valentine, we didn't come all the way from Arkham to New Zealand to make friends. Tell us what you found.”
”Yes, Mr. van Helsing, frankly speaking...”
