Mystic Holy See

Aldridge put down the pen and put up his ears, listening carefully to the movement outside. Because of the man's loud shouting, there was chaos outside, and it sounded that people in the other compartments came out of the compartment.

He thought about it for a while, and opened the door to let more voices come in so that he could pay attention to the progress of the incident, but he didn't plan to go out to watch the excitement for the time being.

"The conductor!" The man was still yelling.

Hasty footsteps sounded like walking drums along the corridor, followed by a quick but polite voice:

"Come, come, this gentleman, what happened?"

This is a male conductor.

"My valuables have been stolen!"

"Calm down, sir," the conductor asked calmly, sounding very experienced, "Tell me what you lost and when did you find it?"

It's a little inappropriate to ask this in front of outsiders, but it's even more inappropriate if you don't let everyone know what happened.

"Kinnar, I only brought a backpack, Kinnar," Cade exclaimed angrily, "The bag is still there, but all my money has been stolen!"

"When did you find out that you were missing?" the conductor continued to ask.

"Just now!"

"Is there any sign that something has been moved or turned over?"

"no."

"Did you lock the door when you went to bed last night?"

"It's locked! Of course, no, wait, I went in and out of the room several times last night, and maybe it was unlocked a few times!" Cade's voice hesitated.

"How many times have you entered and exited the room?"

"Yes, go to the toilet and find my girlfriend."

Aldrich twitched his lips when he heard this. The guy was really uneasy last night, but luckily he didn't live next door.

However, there has been no sound from the next door to the No. 3 compartment where he is located. It is a coincidence that there are no passengers staying in No. 2 and No. 4.

"My things are gone too!" At this moment, another scream came from the other side of the corridor, a high-pitched female voice.

"Ma'am, where are you?" The conductor's voice changed and he asked a bit absurdly.

"My money and all my jewelry are gone!" The female voice was already crying.

"My ruby! Damn it, conductor! My ruby!" Another male voice called out.

"..."

There were a series of voices, and after counting them, including Mr. Cade at the beginning, there were 7 of them who found that they had lost something!

Aldrich's brows furrowed. There are 12 compartments in this compartment, except for himself and the compartment next to him that has no occupants, there are still 9 compartments left.

In addition, I didn't hear the voices of the two women who were with Cade, and after removing them, there were only 7 compartments left.

This unknown thief is equivalent to stealing this carriage!

I have never heard the voices of those two women. Could it be that these two women did it?

He stood up, opened the door, and looked down the corridor. There was a crowd of people, most of them were well-dressed, and the two women didn't see a shadow.

Aldridge can be sure that this thief is a Beyonder. On the one hand, every compartment door here is locked, and it is unlikely that he wants to come in without knowing it by normal means. On the other hand, the feeling of last night Not fake.

He returned to the room, took out Baron Lonnie's pocket watch, injected 'Spirit', and the hands immediately turned clockwise frantically.

The speed of this rotation shows that the Beyonder is not only in this car, but also very close to him.

Aldridge put away his pocket watch, laboriously opened the car window, and let the cold wind in, carrying the products of negative effects and drifting out, and then closed the window after a while.

Now he's a bit of a pain in the **** - everyone's things have been lost, but not his.

Inevitably, there will be troubles that someone will find him impulsively. If it's normal, it's nothing. If it's not what he's doing, he can't check anything, but he still has a black mamba in his suitcase.

To be on the safe side, Aldridge took out the Strelin snake stick and let the Black Mamba get into his coat, so he couldn't take a shower. This action made him very uncomfortable.

Then he walked out of the cubicle and stood behind the crowd to calmly watch the progress of things.

"Hey! We've been making trouble outside for so long, why are you still sleeping!"

Aldridge saw a young man with thick curly hair knocking on the door of compartment 6. It seemed that he was the upstart Mr. Cade.

"Hey! Erin!"

Cade slammed the door again, but there was still no movement inside.

"Really..." Cade impatiently took out a key, glanced at it, took it back, took out another one, and opened the door.

"Where's the man!" Cade cried, got into the room, came out a moment later, and growled, "It must be her! Damn, she's gone, she must have stolen it! This bitch!"

"Isn't she your female companion!" a middle-aged woman shouted with a bad expression, and everyone else looked at him with hatred.

"What are you staring at! My money was stolen too!" Cade roared with a grim face, scaring the woman back two steps.

"Damn..." Cade seemed to think of something, and took out another key to open the door of compartment 5. There was also no one inside.

"These two bitches!" Cade scratched his hair frantically.

The conductor was an ordinary-looking man, about thirty years old. He asked, "Has your friend disappeared?"

"Yes! They must have got off the bus halfway through. They were supposed to go to Thule with me. The luggage is gone!" Cade said, and slammed the door down.

"You brought those two women here!" Another man came up and grabbed his collar rudely.

Cade struggled hard and said weakly, "So what? I didn't steal it..."

"..."

Aldridge didn't listen anymore~www.wuxiaspot.com~ went back to the room and closed the door.

It is estimated that this matter will not end for the time being. The direction of the matter has been completely taken to those two women.

But Aldridge thought that the man named Cade was more suspicious, and the two women were more like scapegoats.

Of course, this is just his guess. He didn't plan to say anything, and he didn't plan to be a heroic citizen or detective. After all, this matter has nothing to do with him.

There was still a lot of noise outside, and it didn’t stop all day. The conductor in the middle came to investigate him again. He learned that nothing was missing, and he had doubts. He made a request to check the luggage. , Aldrich opened the suitcase for the conductor to check.

Of course, only Kinnar is unsuspected.

After the conductor left, Aldridge put the Black Mamba in the box with Kinnar, changed his clothes, and lay down on the bed to continue sleeping.

In the evening, Aldridge got off the train with a suitcase and changed to the train bound for Spurzy.

Two days later, at 6:00 a.m. on December 15, Aldrich finally came to the southern city of Spursey.

When he came out of the station, Aldridge had already taken off his outer coat and his shirt had rolled up his sleeves.

The warm air mixed with the salty and moist smell rushed towards him, causing Aldridge to take a deep breath involuntarily.

He put down his suitcase and looked around, the scene in front of him was the unique busyness of the station and the rush of people, but people's faces were no longer frowning and nervous like Huo Du's, but happy and relaxed.

"This is a resort city..."

Aldridge sighed and muttered to himself, suddenly looking forward to seeing the sea that he hadn't seen for a long time.
