The train stopped on a mountain range, with rolling hills, and one could see the clouds in the mountains and the deep valleys at the foot of the mountains in the distance.

The scenery outside was rare, but even so, none of the people in the train went out, and no one even looked outside.

Because all their energy was focused on a corpse.Full novel: The Anomaly Bureau — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

It was a man who looked to be about forty years old, wearing an ordinary T-shirt, slightly overweight. His hair was thinning, and he was already showing a tendency to baldness.

At this time, he was lying on the floor of the Train Toilet, his T-shirt soaked in blood, with an extremely terrifying bloody hole in his left chest. It was as if another person had directly torn it open with their hands and taken out his heart.

The other people in the car all retreated to various places, some girls hid in their boyfriends’ arms, some snuggled together, they all tried to stay away from the corpse, but some people’s eyes always uncontrollably glanced in the direction of the toilet.

This man died after the train passed through a Tunnel. At that time, the train was dark, and people were busy with their own affairs. Even within five minutes after the train came out of the Tunnel, no one noticed anything unusual until a little boy who wanted to go to the toilet found the body in the toilet.

The Train Conductor immediately blocked off the area and asked for instructions from above.

While waiting, a man suddenly walked over. He looked no more than twenty-three or four years old, tall, handsome, wearing a suit that looked expensive, and clean white gloves on his hands, which was particularly eye-catching on this train.

He took out a Police Handbook from his pocket, stated his identity, and said in an enthusiastic and firm tone: “First report to the lower level, find a suitable place to stop the train, you have already contacted your colleagues, they will go to assist your work.”

The man’s name was Bai Wu. In fact, the Train Conductor noticed him when he got on the train, because his conversation and temperament were out of place here.

If it weren’t for the Police Handbook and his decisive attitude, the Train Conductor would not have seen him as a policeman at all, but would have felt that he was the housekeeper of a low-end family.

Within the hour that his colleagues arrived, he had completed all the investigation work.

The surveillance was interrupted within two minutes of entering the Tunnel.

But Bai Wu still took some of the Surveillance Video and sent a few messages avoiding the Train Conductor.

The Train Conductor didn’t think anything was wrong, after all, different industries are like different mountains, he couldn’t understand it, and it should be normal.

After that, they questioned the people sitting around him.

The deceased’s seat was by the aisle, and the people sitting next to him and across from him were already scared silly, and spoke stutteringly, but Bai Wu still recorded their words.

The deceased was nothing special, he just played games and watched videos after getting on the train. He didn’t have any conflicts with anyone else either.

After the train entered the Tunnel, he was still using his phone as before.

But soon, the person sitting next to him found that his phone’s light went out, and he stood up.

The Train Conductor quickly discovered something.

“He stood up by himself, which means he was killed when he went to the toilet by himself. The Murderer is killing people at random.”

But Bai Wu had a different point of view: “What if it was done by an acquaintance? They discussed something and went to the Tea Room together before the train entered the Tunnel, or some other place. The Murderer was prepared and took the opportunity to kill him.”

The Train Conductor was dealing with this kind of thing for the first time and had no experience, so of course he believed Bai Wu more.

Bai Wu said that if they had agreed on the time in advance, they would not be too far away. The Train Conductor called the people in the two adjacent carriages before and after this carriage.

Bai Wu’s eyes swept over everyone, and finally said: “My colleagues will investigate all the people related to the deceased, and they will bring these materials over later, we just need to wait for their news.”

The Train Conductor couldn’t help but ask when he heard this: “Wait a minute, officer, I have more experience, of course I don’t doubt you, but shouldn’t we find the murder weapon first? The Murderer can’t possibly cut out a heart alive, right.”

Although he had never encountered this kind of situation before, he had of course read novels like Sherlock Holmes. In this case, isn’t the most important thing to find the murder weapon?

Bai Wu was silent for a full two seconds after hearing his words, before saying: “I also know that you need to go through security checks to get on the train. In this situation, you can’t bring weapons.”

The Train Conductor nodded repeatedly: “Then officer, what do you think?”

“According to my experience, maybe it’s an Ice Blade.”

The Train Conductor was startled, and thought carefully, maybe it was possible, the hardness of the Ice Blade should be enough, and afterwards, you just need to throw it into the toilet and flush it away, but he quickly thought of another question: “But in such hot weather, won’t the Ice Blade melt?”

“Thermos.”

“What kind of Thermos is so good?”

“Is that the question I should be focusing on?”

The Train Conductor smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: “Sorry, sorry. If that’s the case, the murder weapon should have been completely cleaned up. Even if the Murderer is caught, what can be used to convict him?”

“I don’t need to worry about this, you just need to catch the Murderer now.”

“The Murderer directly took the deceased’s heart. Logically speaking, the blood should be scattered in a splash. In that case, the Murderer should be covered in blood. The train only entered the Tunnel for two minutes. In such a short time, how did the Murderer dispose of the blood and cleanly mingle into the crowd?”

Bai Wu’s fingers clenched and loosened: “Maybe the Murderer is a doctor, or maybe, he made enough preparations for this murder and can take the deceased’s heart without getting himself dirty.”

“Then why do you think the Murderer chose to do it on the train? No matter how you look at it, this is not a good place, right? Why did he dig out the deceased’s heart? And where did he put that heart? He couldn’t have eaten it, right?”

Bai Wu looked at him when he heard this, his eyes suddenly gloomy, which made the Train Conductor suddenly feel a chill: “Wh…what’s wrong?”

“You’re really smart.”

The Train Conductor was stunned when he heard this: “What do you mean?”

But Bai Wu ignored his words and turned and got off the train. The flight attendants already knew him and did not stop him.

He walked to a tree and made a phone call.

“It’s me, are you ready?”

The sound of keyboard typing came from the other end of the phone, along with the voice of a young boy: “Ready, my brothers have already set off and should be here soon. How’s it going on your side?”

Speaking of this, Bai Wu had a headache: “It really knows how to find a place, and even chose to do it on the train. I can’t do anything about this. Let Cheng Miao come up with a set of arguments herself, and I’m only responsible for hunting.”

The boy on the other end of the phone just smiled: “Understood, leader.”
