Chapter 376 Today's Criminals Club
Well, now, there are only 8 Sherlock-level detectives left in the world.
Moreover, among these 8, only 4 were left by the previous generation, and the rest were newly promoted.
This should be considered a tragedy in the detective world.
Looking back to the past, at the peak of detectives, it can really be described as "demons dance around". Countless geniuses are doing their best to shine their brilliance.
As technology becomes more and more developed, the detective industry has gradually declined.
However, what has been deposited cannot be a parallel product after all.
Seven years ago, there were 42 Sherlock-level super detectives all over the world. They were all over the world, guarding the surrounding cities and people, and using their wisdom to fight against criminal forces.
But now
It can be said that it is the weakest period in the past century.
Zhou Yan looked at the fat middle-aged man in front of him and was calculating this information. In fact, Zhou Yan still admired these people who stood at the top of the detective world.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are like omniscient and omnipotent gods, and they are heroes who protect the world. If nothing unexpected happens, 99% of people will never meet these super detectives after spending their entire lives.
At this moment, a Sherlock really stood in front of him
Zhou Yan should jump up excitedly.
But
Zhou Yan didn't know why, but he just felt that he wasn't that excited. He just stared at Edwards' particularly prominent belly: "Your code name is the chef?"
"Yes." The other party looked a little depressed: "Because I was very knowledgeable about food, I ended up with such a code name. I originally wanted to object, but at that time I was summoned to Sherlock and was only excited, so I didn't care much about this code name. By the time I recovered, the raw rice had been cooked into a pot."
"Okay." Zhou Yan said a little embarrassedly: "So, why are you here?"
Finally, Zhou Yan asked the question he cared about the most.
"I said, I'm here for the Criminal Club."
"You know the Criminal Club?"
"Yes." Benjamin said: "All Sherlock-level detectives know them.
To be honest, this organization has actually existed for many years, and we have not yet traced the initial establishment time. However, in modern times, countless detectives have fought with their members.
For example, the Whitechapel murderer Jack the Ripper at the end of the last century.”
""Zhou Yan didn't say anything, but he subconsciously swallowed.
Whether it is the world before he was reborn or the world now, it seems that even criminals cannot avoid this famous person, Ripper.
But Zhou Yan didn't expect that this person had also belonged to the 'Criminal Club'
Edwards' words continued: "In addition, the Green River Killer in the early century: Rigiway was among them.
Mask Murder: Michael Myers.
Butcher: Thomas Hugwitt.
These are members of the previous generation of the ‘Criminal Club’.
And the earlier members can even be traced back to Mrs. Elizabeth Bartori during the Reformation, which is what we now commonly call Bloody Mary."
"Please wait a moment." Zhou Yan suddenly interrupted the other party: "I don't believe you, but do the people you are talking about really exist? Aren't they all TV or legendary characters?"
Zhou Yan's question actually makes sense, because shortly after he came to this world, he received a message that shocked him.
That is, in this world, fictional detectives like [Shelmes] really exist.
He really digested this for a while, but after he finished digesting it, Zhou Yan had a more precarious idea.
That is, if the "fictional detective" in this world exists, then the "fictional criminal" that will not exist really exists.
So when he went to check the detective's information, he also checked the criminal's information.
Fortunately, the world is not that crazy. Except for detectives, it seems that none of the fictional criminals are real.
People like the "chain saw madman", still only exist in novels and movies.
It is precisely because Zhou Yan has checked this information that he considers being a detective.
Isn't this nonsense? If there are really murderers like the "ogreat Hannibal" in this world, then the fool will be a detective. If he encounters this, how can he fight with them? Maybe he will be cooked and served on the dining table. He doesn't know how he died.
But unexpectedly, the fat man in front of him actually told himself that these people actually exist.
Isn't this playing with me!!!
Benjamin shook his head helplessly: "I know what you are thinking. Unfortunately, those people are really true before I became Sherlock level, I also thought these people existed on TV or legends.
But in fact, it is precisely because the Detective Association believes that the existence of these criminals will cause panic among ordinary people that they deliberately suppress the fact that they exist.
At the same time, they deliberately changed the deeds of these people into fictional movies to strengthen ordinary people's understanding of such criminals and build some psychological defenses.
Oh, by the way, I guess you have heard of bedtime stories like [Criminal Club] and [Detective Club].
In fact, this story was fabricated and deliberately spread by the Detective Association in the 1930s, with the purpose of letting people all over the world know that there are such two fictional organizations.
As for why the Detective Association did this at that time, since there was no document left, it was no longer possible to investigate now."
Zhou Yan just listened, and there were too many questions in his mind, and he didn't know which one to ask first.
A few seconds passed
"Well, it sounds so terrifying, but why do you tell me these things? What you said should be the ones that you Sherlock-level detectives are qualified to know." Zhou Yan asked.
"Yes, but you are not the same as other detectives, so it's okay to tell you in advance."
"Ah?" Zhou Yan was stunned: "What does it mean? What is the difference between me and others?"
"It's a bit long to say." Benjamin scratched his head. Obviously, he had a lot of doubts about what he wanted to say next.
"Well, I don't know if you've ever heard of someone.
This man is a legend in the detective world. He suddenly appeared for a while about 100 years ago, and then solved all the remaining unsolved cases of that era like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
So in a very short time, he received a Sherlock-level invitation letter. He may be one of the few in the detective world and can surpass the super detective who is "Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock" himself.
However, he refused all honors and invitations and quickly disappeared, and he did not even leave his name.
In order to remember him, people in later generations had to give him a nickname called [Smiling Face].
Because of his face, you know."
Benjamin said, gesturing on both sides of his mouth.
Zhou Yan frowned. He knew who the other party was talking about. He had seen the super detective who had just passed away and shocked the whole world in Li Huan's home a long time ago.
"I know, but what does this have to do with me?"
Benjamin spread his hands: "You may not believe it, but in fact, this person left a sentence before he disappeared.
He said: [That guy always appears, with that book.]
Haha, it sounds strange, right? It has no beginning or end.
For the past 100 years, no one knows what this sentence actually represents.
until
Well, if I say that, you may find it ridiculous, but I also find it ridiculous.
But we took the liberty to investigate all the cases you have after becoming a detective.
We feel.
