Chapter 516 Apartment

Located on Queen Street, the Royal Master's College is a learning and research institution governed and operated by the royal family. I heard that those who can study here are all the future elites of the country. It is precisely because of this that this serial killing incident will make Scotland Yard jump. You must know that the students here are not only distinguished, but also elites. Talents, who died several times in a row, or were murdered by others, might easily be regarded as hostile acts by other countries.

Therefore, the case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the boss of Scotland Yard will not only face a problem of face...

From the current point of view, the victims are all of different ages and different disciplines, and they have no personal relationship with each other, that is, they don't know each other.

But...if you want to say it, it's not completely absent.

Indeed, in a school, even the most sociable students cannot get to know everyone.

However, there is one kind of person that must be known.

That is the teacher.

As a teacher, it is very convenient to know the students' files and information. If you go deeper, you can easily know where they go and where they live.

In fact, Scotland Yard has also considered this situation, but... their investigation can only go so far.

The reason is also very simple. This is the Royal Master's College, and the students it trains are top talents in the future country. If you think about it carefully, the teachers who teach the students, no matter their status, status or influence, are not comparable to the teachers of ordinary schools. of. Those who teach here are basically bigwigs in various scientific research fields. They belong to those who publish papers in top journals without any trouble. If Scotland Yard arrests people for interrogation without evidence, then That's really troublesome.

The police are not good enough, and Duanmu Huai is naturally not qualified, but he has a way!

Obviously not, we can come down in private!

Duanmuhuai knows that students like to gossip in private, and they will also share which teacher they like and which teacher they hate. As long as he uses the skills of the Raven Guard to hide in the shadow of the school and eavesdrop on the conversations of those students, You can get a lot of information.

Of course, only Duanmu Huai could do this trick. The students are sensitive and cautious. Don't look at them chatting freely. If there is a stranger by their side, they will immediately become cautious. That is to say, Duanmuhuai can hide himself so that other people can't find out, so he can eavesdrop.

If you were someone else, you wouldn't have this ability.

Well, but think about it, this trick can also be used in other places.

While listening to the students next to him, Duanmuhuai looked at the courtyard in front of him. Most of the students of the Royal Master's College are young and beautiful girls, and they are either born aristocrats or middle class. It is different from the open atmosphere in the New World, perhaps because of tradition, or perhaps because of identity, most of the students here are still wearing that kind of dress that is quite old, at first glance it feels like returning to the 19th century, It's quite fresh and beautiful.

I don't know if there is any bathroom or something here, so I followed the girls in and walked around... Cough cough, forget it.

In this way, Duan Muhuai spent a day at the Royal Master's College, and got a lot of information from the chats of the students, but it is not known which of these information is useful.

And at night, he didn't stay idle, but asked Lorena to lure the snake out of the hole. After all, since the other party's target was a young and beautiful girl, then Lorena must be within the hunting range of the other party, right?

And Lorena was also in high spirits, but she ran around the city without encountering the legendary monster...

In this way, for the next week, Duanmuhuai would go to the Royal Master's College in the morning to search for information, and at night he would wander around the city with Lorena to see if he could hang the murderer out, but it took such a long time. Time, but it has no effect at all... It really makes people speechless.

Compared with the lack of progress in the investigation, it is easier to find a house. For Duanmu Huai, the requirements for the house he wants to live in are very clear, spacious, comfortable and bright. The luxurious suites of the Ritz Hotel are certainly good, but that is only for ordinary people, but for Duanmu Huai, it is a bit troublesome.

Fortunately, as long as enough money is given, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems. On the morning of the eighth day, when Duanmuhuai was having breakfast, the hotel manager in high spirits knocked on the door of his room.

"Ah, dear sir, you can definitely imagine what kind of good news I brought you. God bless, I have finally found an apartment that meets your requirements."

"oh?"

Looking at the hotel manager in a neat suit and mustache, Duanmu Huai put down the tableware in his hand.

"Are you sure? My request is not low."

That's right, Duanmuhuai's requirements are not high, but it depends on who he is compared with. It is hard to find a house that can accommodate his body. Not only that, but due to his height, Duanmuhuai can't go out by car. , so he requested that the location of the house must be in a busy street area, which is more convenient for him to walk back and forth. As we all know, the closer you are to the city center, the more expensive the land is, and the room can't wait for you to compress it like a matchbox...

"Of course, the apartment I found this time is tailor-made for you!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai became interested. He looked at the manager curiously and asked.

"Tell me."

"Okay, it's like this..."

Listening to the story of the hotel manager, Duanmuhuai finally understood why he was so confident. According to the hotel manager, when he was helping Duanmuhuai find a place to live, he met an artist who was holding an exhibition. It just so happened that the theme of the exhibition held by the artist was "House of Giants". He bought an apartment on purpose, and placed huge furniture and decorations in it, according to the artist's plan. It is said that he wants to make visitors feel the insignificance of human beings through this method, and let human beings re-observe their daily world from the perspective of mice or cats, thus creating a new experience.

In order to perfectly restore the daily life, the artist put a lot of effort into remodeling the entire apartment, not only that, but even the vehicles and other vehicles, he also remodeled, so that when visitors enter it, they can feel the Like the kingdom of giants. It is also because of this that this art exhibition is considered a smash hit in Wudu and is quite famous.

Now that the exhibition is about to end, it happened that Duanmuhuai came here at this time and asked the hotel manager to help him find a house. After the hotel manager learned about this, he also found the artist for a discussion. After the incident, he was also quite happy, after all, after the exhibition ended, he also had a headache on how to deal with these exhibits. After all, most people don't want furniture that is much bigger than ordinary people. If Duanmuhuai is really a tall giant, then it just happens...

Anyway, the artist was not short of money, so he also told the hotel manager that he wanted to meet Duanmu Huai. If the other party was really as the hotel manager said, then he could give the entire apartment to Duanmu Huai at his discretion.

Anyway, he is not short of money.

Duanmuhuai is also very interested in this. After all, after coming to this world, he really can't find any suitable residence for him. This artist may be quite crazy, but if his apartment really meets his requirements, then It's also a good choice.

So after breakfast, Duanmu Huai took the address he got from the hotel manager and came to No. 135 Baihuashu Street.

It’s not too far from the Ritz Hotel, next to Hyde Park, through which you can travel to other areas, there are not only restaurants nearby, but also large shopping malls, and there’s even a subway station not far away—well, this is normal, after all The purpose of this apartment is to visit, not to live in.

No one would be too bored to open an art store in an apartment complex, right?

When he came to the door of the apartment, even Duanmuhuai couldn't help being surprised.

As the hotel manager said, the entire apartment is quite huge in appearance. The gate alone looks like a city gate. It is definitely not easy for ordinary people to open the door, but it is just right for Duanmuhuai. Not only that, looking around, the windows and decorations on the first floor are much larger than those of ordinary apartments. It is indeed big enough for ordinary people, but it is just right for Duanmuhuai.

Thinking of this, Duanmuhuai has secretly made up his mind, as long as the price is not outrageous, he will buy this place himself!

Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand, knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and then a tall and thin man with a mustache and a beret who looked like an abnormal artist opened the door, and saw Duanmuhuai , He was also taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"Ah, you are the guest that Mr. Lorenz said, right, please come in!"

Perhaps because of the artist, this man did not see the introverted British gentleman, but more like a French romantic enthusiasm. He welcomed Duanmuhuai in with a smile on his face, and then started fighting around him curiously. change.

"When Mr. Lorenz told me, I still didn't believe it. I really didn't expect that there are people like you in the world... I really don't know the world you see in your eyes, compared with ours. what is the difference."

"Just treat it as if you were looking at the child's room."

Duanmuhuai complained silently, and the latter nodded excitedly, and then he took Duanmuhuai directly, and began to introduce his art apartment to him in detail.

In fact, the introduction given by the hotel manager to Duanmuhuai was incorrect. Strictly speaking, this apartment is called "Vision". The artist's original intention is to allow the audience to break away from their daily lives and observe the world from another angle.

So he specially remodeled this apartment. As the hotel manager said, everything on the first floor is extra large, whether it is furniture, doors or even corridors, it is more than double the size of ordinary ones. As for the rooms on the second floor, they are the same size as ordinary people, so that the audience can have a comparison with reality after observing the giant world, while the third floor is transformed from an attic. Because the first and second floors occupy too much space, the space on the third floor is relatively smaller, but this did not stop the artist. He directly transformed the third floor into a room for children , all furniture decoration is one size smaller.

According to the artist, this is the big, medium and small horizons, so that the audience can taste and experience their daily life from various angles.

Of course, Duanmuhuai also thinks this is really fun, no wonder the artist's exhibition is popular. It's just that this exhibition can't last forever, and the artist is already planning to carry out his next conception, so he originally planned to sell this apartment.

As for the furniture inside, if no one takes over, they can only dispose of it.

On the contrary, Duanmuhuai's arrival made the artist very excited, at least... the things he carefully produced would not have to be disposed of.

Not only the artist was very happy, but Duanmuhuai was also very excited. After all, this apartment was built by the artist himself. Not to mention the exquisite style, the artist's technique is also good. What's more, in order to be perfect, this artist really made everything very huge, from the gate, the hanger to the sofa, even the fireplace, the deck chair, and even the flower pots on the window sill, and the tableware, all made to a size suitable for him .

For Duanmuhuai, it is almost possible to move in with a bag, without missing anything.

As for the ordinary people's room on the second floor, it's fine to let Lorena live there, but on the third floor... then let the two pets, Bell Girl and Tutu, do the harm.

The two sides negotiated quickly. Originally, the artist planned to give the apartment directly to Duanmuhuai. According to him, he could only see people like Duanmuhuai in his dreams before, but now he did not expect that they actually existed in reality. Sure enough, there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky......

Um? Why does this sound a bit wrong?

In the end, Duanmuhuai did not let others give it away for nothing, he was not short of money, and he was not short of money, and he took advantage of short hands to eat soft mouths. The two parties discussed for a while, and finally the artist decided to sell at half price. And Duanmu Huai also agreed, and then the two parties signed the contract, and then paid for the key......

"Yes, sir."

Before everything was done, the artist seemed to have thought of something, and hastily withdrew his hand.

"Before I deliver it completely, I must remind you that this apartment... seems to have a problem."

"what is the problem??"

Hearing the artist's words, Duanmu Huai was taken aback.

"Is such that………"

The artist was too excited to see Duanmuhuai before, but now he calmed down, he also remembered something, and hurriedly told Duanmuhuai.

It turned out that when the artist bought this apartment for an exhibition, he also accepted it at a very cheap price. At that time, he also wondered why this place was so good, why no one wanted this apartment after being vacant for so long, and the price was so cheap. Later, a friend who was an artist inquired and told him what was going on.

It turned out that this apartment used to be owned by a businessman in Wudu who ran a ship business. At that time, his business was very big, and his family was harmonious, with a wife and a daughter.

But...unfortunate events...that's not true.

All in all, one day, something happened to this family, and the neighbors nearby didn't see them for several days, and then there was a disgusting smell in their house. In the end, the neighbor couldn't help calling the police. When the police came and pried open the door, they found that the businessman, his wife and daughter were all dead, and the death was miserable.

At that time, this was considered a big case in Wudu, and after investigation by the police, the conclusions were even more jaw-dropping.

According to the conclusion of the police investigation, it was none other than the couple's daughter who killed the family. She killed the sleeping couple with a kitchen knife, and then committed suicide by cutting her own throat.

When the results of this investigation came out, everyone was stunned. You must know that the daughter of the family is only twelve or thirteen years old, and she looks very lively and cute on weekdays. How can she kill someone? Could it be that the police made a mistake?

That's what I said, but that was the result of the investigation at the time. In the end, the police closed the case with suicide. This incident was only a sensation, and then it was gradually forgotten.

Then the apartment was also sold to another wealthy businessman.

Only half a month later, something happened again.

This time everyone was awakened by screams in the middle of the night. When they turned on the lights and looked out, they found that the door of the apartment had been knocked open, and a fat man covered in blood stumbled out of it. Behind her was the fat man's daughter. She was only ten years old with a hideous face, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, chasing up to her father and stabbing him with a puncture. Father was stabbed to death.

When the police arrived, the girl, in front of neighbors and the police, took a knife and cut her own throat and died in full view.

Now everyone was terrified, and almost everyone chose to move. Many people suspected that the apartment was cursed, and fled one after another.

That is, after this, no one lived in this apartment again.

I have to say that this story is quite scary, but the artist is not afraid of it, and he doesn't live here, but... the artist has to admit that this apartment is indeed evil.

According to his statement, several times when he came early the next morning, he found that the furniture that had been prepared had been moved or simply dismantled. He was so angry that he thought it was a hooligan nearby. Several people were invited to watch the night, but these people were scared away the next day, saying that the apartment was haunted.

Although the exhibition became more and more lively later on, and similar strange things did not happen again, the artist still heard some strange things from some guests.

For example, they sometimes said that they saw a girl in white pajamas lying on the bed on the third floor, and some people said that the furniture in the room would move by itself. Although every time the artist went there, they didn’t see anything special, but so Many people said that it still made him somewhat worried.

Now that Duanmuhuai was going to buy a house to live here, he suddenly remembered this and told Duanmuhuai hastily.

After listening to the artist's speech, Duanmu Huai's eyes glowed even more.

Buy a desirable apartment, but it's still haunted?

There is such a good thing?

Needless to say, I bought it!
