Dragons: Reboot the New World

Chapter 113 The non-existent person in the nine acts

"Is Holmes a pure-blooded dragon?" Nono asked casually, sitting on the bed in the room.

"Senior sister! Don't destroy the crime scene!" Lu Mingfei screamed.

"What's the point?" Nono said nonchalantly, "I've already looked at it and there's nothing wrong with this room, so feel free to move."

"Then why are we looking at this room?" Lu Mingfei didn't care and sat down on the bed.

"Just experience the feeling of a crime scene." Nono swayed on her feet, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Well... how should I put it... Holmes is indeed a pure-blooded dragon." Lu Mingfei said hesitantly. He was a little afraid that his senior sister would be disgusted with hooking up with dragons.

"Oh, let me tell you, and it's a very powerful dragon, right? Otherwise there wouldn't be such an outrageous Nibelung." Nono didn't have any reaction to this matter, "Travel to the [-]th century In the UK, if I speak out, people will think I’m crazy.”

"Sister, why don't you ask me..."

"Are you asking why you have anything to do with the Dragon Clan?" Nono interrupted him and turned to glance at Lu Mingfei, "Because I believe in you. You are my boyfriend and the person I love most. If even I If you don’t believe me, no one in this world will believe you.”

"Oh..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head with a silly smile on his face.

"Okay, stop talking about it." Nono jumped up from the bed, clapped his hands, and said enthusiastically, "Let's continue investigating."

"But there's not a single clue..." Lu Mingfei frowned again when he thought of this.

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it. We can stay here for a few days and see if we can get some ideas."

"Then can I sleep with you, senior sister?" Lu Mingfei's eyes were shining.

"..." Nono was speechless and knocked on his head, "Don't just think about this all day long."

"Okay..." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyebrows.

"But..." Nono walked past him and left a sentence lightly, like a wisp of wind, "I can sleep with you, but you are not allowed to touch me."

"What?" Lu Mingfei plucked his ears in disbelief, "Senior sister, what did you just say?"

"Don't say good things twice." Nuonuo hummed and went downstairs.

"A tough talk..." Lu Mingfei shrugged. The old wooden floor made a creaking sound. He looked at the house number, No. 217, and saw a narrow and somewhat depressing corridor in front of him.

I didn't pay much attention to the environment of this hotel before. Is it too bad?He frowned, and for a few seconds, he felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

"No matter." He followed Nono downstairs.

……

……

"Do you want to stay in a hotel?" The woman sat at the bar. "Two pounds a day. You have to stay for three days. Let me give you five pounds."

"It seems that there is no money in this era..." Lu Mingfei whispered to Nuonuo.

"We didn't bring any money, so we will live in the room where the murder occurred. Can you please stop charging us?" Nono asked.

The woman rolled her eyes, probably thinking that no one would want to live in that house, so she agreed, "Okay."

She took out a key from the drawer and threw it to Nono. The three numbers "217" were marked on it. She took out paper and pen and wrote something in the notebook.

"Breakfast is free every day, and lunch and dinner cost fifteen pence each." The boss warned, "I can live with you for free, but don't damage the things in my room."

"Okay, thank you." Lu Mingfei was obedient and pulled Chen Motong to go upstairs. He couldn't wait to sleep with his senior sister.

"Why are you so anxious? It's not night yet." Nuonuo complained.

"Let's study it." Lu Mingfei chuckled, "Senior sister, you have sensed it. There are many things in the room that we haven't picked up and looked at."

So the two of them went to the third floor and found that the door next to them opened, and a woman walked out of it. She was dressed fashionably and had makeup on her face.

The woman passed by Nono, as if she didn't realize that Nono was observing her, and went downstairs.

"Senior sister, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with that woman?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"She looks about 25 years old. Being able to put on makeup in this era means that the economic conditions are not bad. She doesn't get up until 10:30. She lives an irregular life and wears revealing clothes. She may be engaged in a special industry..." Nuonuo said in a low voice, "The problem is not a problem. But all the guests in this hotel are suspected.”

"Holy shit, senior sister, you are really a detective. Can you see so many things in an instant?" Lu Mingfei said in surprise.

"It's just that your observation skills are not sharp enough." Nono curled his lips, "A person's appearance can reveal a lot of things."

"Should I say it's the sequelae of profiling..." Lu Mingfei thought.

Nono ignored him and walked to the wooden door of room 217 to check it. There was nothing special about the door, the lock was not too old, and the switch did not make any sound.

She walked into the room again. On the left side of the room was a single bathroom with a shower head (London already had running water in the mid-[-]th century) and a small window inside.

She walked to the window and looked down. There was an open space underneath. Several piles of garbage were placed in the corner. Nono counted and there were five piles. She and Lu Mingfei were not counted. The woman just now and the man who walked out of the restaurant downstairs , Boss Wife, then there are still two people who haven’t shown up.

Lu Mingfei kept picking up things in the room and looking at them. Of course, at his level, he definitely couldn't see anything.

"Stop looking." Nono took off her shoes and sat on the bed, "Now we just need to wait."

"What are you waiting for?" Lu Mingfei asked blankly.

"Wait for dinner."

"Why do you have to wait for dinner?"

"Oh." Nono sighed and looked at Lu Mingfei like an idiot, "I just saw five garbage dumps downstairs. This hotel is very remote, so no one else will throw garbage here. , then there are at least four other residents besides the landlady, and now only two appear."

"When it's meal time, these residents will most likely come to the restaurant downstairs to eat. We can take this opportunity to observe up close."

"Oh..." Lu Mingfei was embarrassed. He couldn't understand these details at all, so he sat next to Nono.

"Help me rub my feet. I'm exhausted from walking all day." Nono put her feet into his arms.

"Didn't we take a carriage when we came?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just rub it when I ask you to!" Nuonuo glared.

"Okay." Lu Mingfei rubbed the girl's feet while pricking up his ears to listen to the noise outside the door... This was the only way he could think of.

……

……

At twelve o'clock at noon, Lu Mingfei helped Noonuo rub his feet for about half an hour before that, and then Noonuo lay in his arms and took a nap, and it was time for dinner.

"The good times are always short." Lu Mingfei sighed and pushed Nuonuo awake in his arms, "Senior sister, it's dinner time." "Oh." Nuonuo got up, "I feel like I didn't sleep enough..."

"Shh, senior sister, don't talk." Lu Mingfei made a gesture of silence. Just now, he heard the sound of someone walking upstairs.

He went to the door, opened it a crack and looked out. About 20 seconds later, a young man and woman appeared at the stairs on the third floor.

"Damn, there are actually young couples coming here to rent a room..." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but complain.

"What?" Nono also came over and took a peek with him. "Both of them look very young. They seem to have come to London to go to school and then lived nearby."

After a few more minutes, the fat man also came down, and no one else came down after that.

"No, there should be another one. Is it not in the hotel or something?" Lu Mingfei said.

"There are two possibilities. That person brought his own food, or he lives on the second floor and we can't see him." Nono opened the door completely, "Anyway, let's go down first."

……

……

"This restaurant..." Lu Mingfei looked at it. He said he was talking about the restaurant, but in fact it was a small room less than thirty square meters. There was a smell of oil smoke floating around, and the landlady was putting dishes on the table.

At this time, there were five people sitting around the dining table, namely Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo, a fat man, and a young couple. The scantily clad woman was not there, and she must have gone out.

None of their faces looked very good, and they must have complained about the environment.

"Haha, hello everyone." Lu Mingfei put on an expression that he thought was very easy-going, turned to Nuonuo and said, "Sister, please translate for me and say that we are private detectives here to investigate the murder case. .”

"Reporting yourself to your family is so stupid." Nono shook his head resignedly, "Why don't you pretend to be an ordinary person first, and then ask for details. If you say you are a detective, they will be wary. Besides, The murderer is probably hiding among them."

"I understand, senior sister is really smart." Lu Mingfei suddenly realized.

"Is there anyone left?" Nono asked the proprietress, "I'm a little hungry. Let's start dinner as soon as possible if there's no one around." She said this to find the remaining person, so that her words didn't sound too weird. unexpected.

"There's no one here, you can eat." The lady boss said and sat down at the table.

Nono frowned, there should be another person who is right...

"Are you foreigners?" The girl in the couple spoke first, "You don't look British in your clothes."

"Yes, we are coming to England... for a trip." Nono was still wondering why there was no one there, so he said casually, "His name is Ricardo, and my name is NoNo."

"That's right." The girl smiled and stretched out a hand, "Hello, my name is Catherine. Are you a couple?"

"Yes." Nono replied, shaking her hand gently, "What about you?"

"My boyfriend and I go to school in London." The girl said, leaning towards the boy with a happy face.

"It's amazing!" Lu Mingfei squeezed Nono's hand under the table.

"Awesome." Nono was proud, and then asked the girl pretending to be relaxed, "I heard that there was a murder case in this hotel recently. Is it true?"

The girl's expression suddenly became a little scared, "It's true, and it's on the floor where you live. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that it's cheap and close to the school, my boyfriend and I would have moved to another place."

"Oh." Nono responded, and did not continue to ask for details, but took two bites of the food.

"That man died tragically." The boy in the couple suddenly said, "We live above him."

"Then what did you hear at that time? I'm quite curious." Nono raised the corner of his mouth and succeeded. Young people are generally very eager to share, especially for such novel things, they will speak on their own.

"I must have heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground at that time." The boy tried hard to recall the details, "There seemed to be no other sounds."

"About what time?"

"It was around eight o'clock. I remember this very clearly because my girlfriend and I just got up."

"Why do you care about this?" The fat man interrupted impatiently, "It's really unlucky. The police came to ask me before, and now you ask me again."

Nono didn't argue with him and continued to eat the food with his head down.

The meal ended quickly in silence. Nono and Lu Mingfei were not very happy with their meal. You can't expect to eat such delicious food in a place like this.

The fat man shuffled upstairs first, followed closely by the proprietress. She went back to sit at the bar, and then came the young couple. Catherine said hello to Nono when she left.

"I've always had a headache with people I know well." Nono said, obviously referring to Catherine.

"It's okay." Lu Mingfei knew Nuonuo's character.

"Now we have two clues. First, the time of the crime was after eight o'clock. Second, there seems to be no one else in the room except Statham. Of course, we cannot rule out the reason why the murderer covered his steps."

Nono thought for a while, "Also, there are obviously five garbage dumps, but there are only four people. I can't quite understand this."

"Maybe the young couple lost it separately?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"It shouldn't be possible," Nono dismissed the idea. "There's no reason to separate them. They all live together."

"Then what are we doing now?"

"Go back to your room and wait for tomorrow." Nono stood up, "Let's see if the police can get any clues tomorrow."

At this time, the exposed woman opened the door and walked in, walking up the stairs with Nono almost at the same time.

When she reached the stairs on the third floor, the woman suddenly stumbled without warning, but it only took about two seconds before she returned to normal and continued walking forward.

"What's wrong?" Nono asked pretending to be concerned. She would definitely not have a meaningless conversation because she had never been in contact with this woman herself.

"It's okay, I have something wrong with my body. I wasn't feeling well just now, so I accidentally tripped." The woman looked back at her and smiled with a superficial smile on her face.

After the woman left, Nono looked thoughtfully at the place where the woman tripped just now... The floor was flat, and there was no reason for the woman to trip.

"There's something wrong..." she said to herself.

"What's wrong, senior sister?" Lu Mingfei also came up and asked.

"It's okay." Nono said, walking towards their room 217. The moment he opened the door, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Something's wrong." Nono looked at the house number on the room, "Aren't we on the third floor? Why does the room number start with two?"

"Um..." Lu Mingfei felt that the senior sister had some occupational disease, "Maybe it's just because this hotel is special?"

"Seeing is believing, let's go to the second floor now." Nono said, turning back and walking towards the stairs.
