Chapter 170: Ambush and Killing
In the pitch-black night, the huge steam monster continued to roar while spewing thick smoke. In a private room in the first-class carriage, a long-planned ambush officially began.
In the detective's conversation room, one of the conversation parties suddenly jumped up and thrust a knife into the detective's chest, but this did not make the detective fall down. Instead, the detective tightly grasped his outstretched hand. At the same time, three strong men suddenly emerged from under the inconspicuous thin quilt, contrary to common sense.
Feeling someone attacking from behind, the assassin named Kim wanted to move sideways and hide in the wall at the side, but Dorothy, who had already noticed his intention, had already controlled Edrick to hold the man's hand tightly, with such strength that the man could not get rid of it at all!
Before the man entered the private room, Dorothy had already controlled Edric to quietly stick the Life-Eating Talisman. The "cup" consumed was provided by herself to Edric through the corpse doll ring. At this time, Edric possessed extraordinary strength, and the man could not break free at all.
Neither the "Shadow" nor the "Stone" could increase the man's strength. Improving physical fitness was the effect of the "Cup". His physical fitness was stronger than that of ordinary people, but not much stronger, so he was unable to break free from Edric's close-range restraints.
Just like that, the three big corpse puppets specially selected by Dorothy rushed forward and all pounced on the assassin, grabbed his waist, abdomen, hands and feet and blocked them, covered his mouth, lifted him off the ground, so that he could not touch the ground and the wall, and could not escape through the wall. The strongest one among these big corpse puppets also attached the Shengku to strengthen his control ability.
Finally, under the close-range combined siege of the four zombies, the assassin was firmly pinned down. He could not speak, move his hands, or lift his feet. He could not use his shield wall to escape, nor could he use talismans to free himself.
At this moment, he is in a state of "strong man locking up man" and "men on both sides".
The assassin's eyes widened in shock. He had checked this private room before entering and there was no place to hide people and ambush, so he sat down and talked with the detective with peace of mind. But how did these three big men suddenly come out?
In fact, before leaving the private room, Dorothy had opened the magic box and hid it under the quilt. She had been controlling the three corpses in the magic box in her own private room, ready to go, and then at the critical moment she would directly crawl out of the box to give the other party a surprise.
The restrained man struggled frantically, but in front of so many people and more "cups", his struggle was meaningless. After the man had control of the enemy, it was time to deal with him.
Edric pulled out the knife that was stabbing his chest, then stabbed the restrained and struggling man in front of him, and the knife directly pierced the man's throat. However, just as the knife pierced the man's skin, it was as if it had pierced a hard object. With a bang, the tip of the knife broke directly.
"Damn... it's the hardness of 'Stone' again. If this guy's secondary spirituality is 'Stone', then he should have some hardness. I heard from Aldridge that hardness is a standard ability of 'Stone'..."
The assassin has hard skin and cannot be pierced by a knife. Dorothy plans to use a gun at this time. The black earth-level "stone" can barely defend against bullets, and the opponent will definitely not be able to defend against it. However, if she shoots now, it will alert the train attendants outside the door. If they come in, the situation in the room will be exposed. Dorothy does not want to see this situation yet.
After thinking for a while, Dorothy controlled the corpse doll with a life-threatening wound and began to cover the man's mouth and nose with all her strength. The man, who couldn't breathe, began to turn red in the face and struggled even more, but he still couldn't break free from the restraints.
As time passed, the man's struggle gradually became weaker, and finally stopped completely, his whole body completely limp. Dorothy used the corpse ring to confirm his death.
And so, in a well-planned ambush, this Black Earth-rank assassin was hunted down by Dorothy's almost motionless body, and her record included another Black Earth of a higher rank than her.
Dorothy first called the people in car No. 7 one by one in the name of handling a jewelry theft case for a talk. After the talk, she let them go and spread the content of the talk, so that the real target would be paralyzed and careless, and when he was really called, he would naturally come over.
Then Dorothy used the characteristics of the magic box and the corpse doll to set a trap, so that a black-level person was killed quietly without any ability to fight back. This was Dorothy's way of dealing with the opponent.
"Huh...done..."
With a sigh of relief, Dorothy controlled her zombies to put down the dead zombie man, and then began to collect things from him. After collecting the things that looked useful, she stuffed some money into the box, and then controlled the remaining zombies to get into the magic box. Then Edric closed the magic box.
After doing this, Dorothy used the corpse ring to pull the dead assassin up.
"The target has been killed, but this detective game still needs an ending."
Dorothy murmured in her own carriage.
…
On the walkway of the first-class carriage, the conductor came slowly over from the duty room with two conductors. He saw the two conductors waiting in front of the compartment and asked them.
"How's the detective doing with the case?"
"Detective has been asking us to bring the people from the seventh car here for questioning. We have already questioned twelve people, and are now questioning the thirteenth." A train attendant answered while looking at the conductor. The conductor frowned slightly after hearing this, and then continued speaking.
"After asking so many questions, did he...find out anything?"
"I don't know... Mr. Detective didn't reveal what he asked, but the current one took a little longer. The others took four minutes to finish, and the current one has been asking for ten minutes."
The conductor continued to answer. Just as the conductor was thinking about something, a loud noise suddenly came from behind the door of the compartment guarded by the conductor.
Just as the train attendants and conductors were stunned, the door of the compartment suddenly opened, and a man in black rushed out in a panic, and ran away while walking on the side, and another figure followed closely behind him.
"Don't even think about running!"
With a loud shout, Edrick caught up with the fleeing figure in front of him and grabbed him by the clothes. Seeing that he could not escape, the figure raised his hand and punched Edrick. Edrick dodged the punch by turning his body, then grabbed the arm of the fleeing figure, then used all his strength to turn around and throw the fleeing figure to the ground.
Then, Edrick pulled out a pistol from his clothes, pointed it at the fugitive lying on the ground, and then spoke seriously under the gaze of the train attendants and conductors.
"It seems that my reasoning is correct, Mr. Kim. You are the murderer of Mr. Sodod. Do you want to escape from the crime? It's not that easy. You can't escape the punishment of the kingdom's laws!"
Kim, who had fallen to the ground, slowly stood up, looked at the gun-wielding detective in front of her with resentment, and then opened her mouth to respond.
"Oh... If it wasn't for you, I would have almost died, damn detective..."
