Chapter 516 Apartment(1/2)
Author: Xibeimao
The Royal College of Masters is located on Queen Street. It is a learning and research institution governed and operated by the royal family. It is said that those who can study here are the country’s future elites. It is precisely because of this that this serial murder incident made Scotland Yard
Don't worry, you must know that the students here are not only of high status, but also elites. If several people die in a row, they are still murdered by others. If not, it may easily be regarded as a hostile act of another country.
Therefore, the case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the boss of Scotland Yard will face more than just a face problem...
As of now, the victims are all of different ages and majors, and they have no personal relationships with each other, that is, they do not know each other.
But...if anything, it's not completely absent.
Indeed, in a school, no matter how sociable a student is, it is impossible to know every student.
However, there is a kind of person who must be known.
That is the teacher.
As a teacher, it is very convenient to know the files and information of students. If you go deeper, it is easy to 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. The students it trains will be the top talents of the country in the future. So if you think about it carefully, the teachers who teach the students, no matter in terms of identity, status and influence, are not comparable to teachers in ordinary schools.
. The people who teach here are basically big bosses in various scientific research fields. They can publish papers in top journals without any trouble. If Scotland Yard, such a big boss, arrests people for interrogation without any evidence,
, that would be really troublesome.
Even the police can't do it, and Duanmu Huai certainly doesn't have the qualifications, but he can do it!
If we can't do it openly, we can come down in private!
Duanmu Huai knew that students liked to gossip in private, and would also talk about which teacher they liked and which teacher they hated. He only needed to use the skills of the Raven Guard to hide in the shadows of the school and eavesdrop on the conversations of those students.
You can gain a lot of information.
Of course, only Duanmu Huai can do this trick. Students are sensitive and cautious. Even if they chat without restraint, if there is a stranger around, they will immediately become cautious. Only Duanmu Huai can do it.
Hide yourself so that no one else can see you, so you can eavesdrop.
If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to do this.
Well, if you think about it carefully, this trick can be used in other places.
While listening to the words of the students next to him, Duanmu Huai looked at the courtyard in front of him. Most of the students at the Royal Master Academy are young and beautiful girls, and they are either born into aristocrats or middle class. And they are open to the New World.
The atmosphere is different, perhaps because of tradition, or perhaps because of status. Most of the students here still wear dresses that are quite dated. At first glance, it feels like they are back in the 19th century, but it is quite fresh and beautiful.
I don’t know if there are any bathrooms or anything like that here, so I went in with the girls and took a look around... Ahem, forget it.
In this way, Duanmu Huai spent a day at the Royal Master Academy and got a lot of information from the students' chats. However, it is not yet known which of this information is useful.
And at night, he did not sit idle, but asked Lorena to lure the snake out of the hole. After all, since the opponent's target was a young and beautiful girl, Lorena must be within the opponent's hunting range, right?
And Lorena was also in high spirits. As a result, she ran around the city and didn't encounter the legendary monster...
In this way, for the next week, Duanmu Huai went to the Royal Master Academy in the morning to search for information, and followed Lorena around the city at night to see if he could hang out the murderer. However, it took such a long time.
Time has no effect at all... It's really speechless.
Compared with the lack of progress in the investigation, finding a house is easier. For Duanmu Huai, the requirements for the house he wants to live in are very clear, spacious, comfortable and bright. The deluxe suite at the Ritz Hotel is certainly good.
, but that is only for ordinary people, but for Duanmuhuai, it is a bit troublesome.
But fortunately, as long as you give enough money, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. On the morning of the eighth day, when Duanmu Huai was having breakfast, the enthusiastic hotel manager knocked on his door.
"Ah, dear sir, you can definitely imagine what kind of good news I have brought you. God bless me, I finally found an apartment that meets your requirements."
"oh?"
Looking at the hotel manager with a straight suit and a mustache in front of him, Duanmu Huai put down the tableware in his hand.
"Are you sure? My requirements are not low."
Yes, Duanmuhuai's requirements are not high, but it depends on who he is comparing with. It is difficult to find a house that can accommodate his body. Not only that, due to his height, Duanmuhuai cannot go out by car.
, so he requires that the location of the house must be in a bustling street area, so that it is easier for him to walk back and forth. As we all know, the closer you are to the city center, the more expensive the land, and the rooms are as compact as matchboxes...
"Of course, the apartment I found this time is tailor-made for you!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai became interested. He looked at the manager curiously and asked.
"Tell me."
"Okay, it's like this..."
Listening to the hotel manager's story, Duanmu Huai finally understood why he was so confident. According to the hotel manager, when he was helping Duanmu Huai find a place to stay, he met an artist who was holding an exhibition. What a coincidence.
Yes, the theme of the exhibition held by the artist was "Giant's House". He specially bought an apartment and placed huge furniture and decorations in it. According to the artist, he wanted
In this way, visitors can feel the insignificance of human beings and allow humans to re-observe their daily world from the perspective of mice or cats, thus creating a new experience.
In order to perfectly restore daily life, the artist spent great efforts to remodel the entire apartment. Not only that, he also remodeled even vehicles and other vehicles, so that visitors can feel the feeling when they enter.
It’s the same as the Kingdom of Giants. Because of this, this art exhibition is also a smash hit in the foggy city and is quite famous.
Now that the exhibition is about to end, Duanmu Huai happened to come 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 to discuss it. After the latter learned about this,
Afterwards, he was quite happy. After all, after the exhibition, he also had a headache about how to deal with these exhibits. After all, most people don't want furniture that is much larger than ordinary people. If Duanmuhuai is really a tall giant,
, then just right......
Anyway, the artist was not short of money, so he told the hotel manager that he wanted to meet Duanmu Huai. If the other party really did what the hotel manager said, then he could give the entire apartment to Duanmu Huai at his discretion.
He's not short of money anyway.
Duanmu Huai 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 eating breakfast, Duanmuhuai took the address he obtained from the hotel manager and came to No. 135 Baihuashu Street.
It's not far from the Ritz Hotel. It's next to Hyde Park. You can go to other areas through the park. There are not only restaurants nearby, but also large shopping malls, and even a subway station not far away - well, this is normal, after all.
This apartment is for visitors rather than residents.
No one would be bored and open an art store in an apartment area, right?
Arriving at the door of the apartment, even Duanmu Huai couldn't help but be surprised.
As the hotel manager said, the entire apartment is quite huge in appearance. The door alone looks like a city gate. It would be difficult 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 for Duanmuhuai, it is just right.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai has secretly made up his mind to buy this place himself as long as the price is not outrageous!
Duanmuhuai reached out and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened. Then a tall and thin man with a mustache and a beret, who looked like an abnormal artist at first glance, opened the door and saw Duanmuhuai.
, he was also stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ah, you must be the guest Mr. Lorenz mentioned. Just in time, please come in!"
Perhaps because of his status as an artist, this man did not have the restraint of a British gentleman, but rather the romantic enthusiasm of a Frenchman. He welcomed Duanmu Huai in with a smile, and then surrounded him curiously.
change.
"When Mr. Lorenz told me, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that there are people like you in the world... I don't know how the world you see in your eyes compares with ours.
what is the difference."
"Just treat it as if you were looking at the child's room."
Duanmu Huai complained silently, and the latter nodded excitedly. Then he took Duanmu Huai directly and began to introduce his art apartment to him in detail.
In fact, the hotel manager's introduction to Duanmu Huai was incorrect. Strictly speaking, this apartment is called "Vision". The artist's original intention is to allow the audience to escape from daily life and observe the world from another angle.
So he specially renovated this apartment. As the hotel manager said, everything on the first floor is very large. Whether it is furniture, doors or even corridors, they are more than twice the size of ordinary ones. As for the rooms on the second floor,
It is the same size as an ordinary person, so that the audience can have a comparison with reality after observing the giant world, and the third floor is converted from an attic. Because the first and second floors occupy too much space
, so the space on the third floor is relatively smaller, but this did not stump the artist. He directly transformed the third floor into a room for children, and all the furniture and decoration were one size smaller.
According to the artist, these are the large, medium and small horizons, so that the audience can taste and experience their daily life from all angles.
Of course, Duanmu Huai also thinks this is really fun. No wonder this artist’s exhibition is popular. However, this exhibition cannot last forever. Now the artist has already planned to carry out his next concept, so this exhibition
He originally planned to sell the apartment.
As for the furniture inside, if no one takes over, they can only be disposed of.
On the contrary, the arrival of Duanmu Huai made the artist particularly excited. At least... the things he had carefully made did not need to be disposed of.
Not only is the artist very happy, but Duanmu Huai is also very excited. After all, this apartment was built by the artist himself. Not to mention that the style is very exquisite, the artist's skills are also good. What's even more amazing is that in order to achieve perfection, the artist really put everything into it.
Everything is made to be very large, from the door, clothes racks to sofas and even fireplaces, lounge chairs, and even the flower pots and tableware on the windowsill, all are made to a size that suits you.
For Duanmu Huai, this is a place where you can move in with just your bags, and you don’t need anything.
As for the ordinary people's rooms on the second floor, just let Lorena live in them. As for the third floor... then let the two pets Suzuno and Bunny do harm.
The two parties quickly concluded the discussion. 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 he actually existed in reality.
Sure enough, there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world......
