Chapter 42: A Chance Encounter in a Dining Car
Bang Bang
As expected.
A quarter of an hour after Detective Swift left, there was another knock on the door of the box.
However, unlike the previous two searches, this time Ronald appeared in front of only two young soldiers.
The two looked into the dimly lit room.
Ronald sat in the corner of the box with his face unrecognizable, and the silver-white starlight shone through the car window, casting a glow in front of him.
It's just that at first glance, a faint pressure lingers in my heart.
The two soldiers looked at each other, and the taller of them stepped forward:
"Yes...... Is it Mr. Ronald? β
Ronald nodded:
"Yes, it's me."
Seeing that the man in front of him admitted his identity, the soldier continued politely:
"I'm in trouble."
"Mr. Swift would like you to come with us."
At the same time, another shorter soldier added:
"By the way, are you going to get off at Bronwich?"
Ronald nodded again:
"That's exactly what I intended."
The soldier advised:
"Then I suggest you bring your own luggage, the train is about to leave."
β......β
At the soldier's suggestion, Ronald looked down at himself.
In addition to the clothes he changed in Montenegro, he only had a little coinage and the "Ronald Adler Diary" in his arms.
If I have to say, the toiletry kit given by Nessos in the corner can also be counted.
And then......
And then there was nothing.
The word "alone" fits perfectly with his current situation.
"Ahh
Sighing in his heart for his poverty, Ronald simply jumped up from his chair:
"Let's go."
"I don't have anything to take."
"Okay."
In response to Ronald, the two soldiers immediately switched positions, one covering the back and the other leading the way to the other carriages.
At night, bright yellow lights illuminate the train aisles.
On one side of the corridor, the passengers of the luxury cars basically choose to lock the doors.
It seems that the parking for more than three hours has also made them understand the way to protect themselves to a certain extent.
- Don't do anything superfluous.
"On the roadβ"
At the end of the car, Ronald looked back.
He smiled at the place that had been given to him for a short period of leisure.
ββββ
The destination of this trip is not too far, and Ronald has even been there during the day.
That's the food truck.
However, unlike when I came to eat during the day, the food truck has been guarded by many people at this moment.
Whether it's the windows or the doors.
Wherever it is possible to leave this carriage, at least one person is standing guard at this time.
The dining car of the Dongfeng has become a prison in the real sense, and the soldiers strictly manage everyone in it.
Immediately, the soldiers beside him spoke to Ronald:
"Mr. Ronald, come and sit down here."
"If you're feeling thirsty, we can provide you with clean water."
"Thanks, no need."
Nodding to the soldier leading the way.
Ronald obediently sat down in the chair arranged by the other party and began to look at the situation in the dining car.
During the day, tables for people to eat are neatly arranged in two rows, and there are at least two chairs for people to rest in each position.
Except for the soldiers who were in charge of standing guard, though.
The number of people in the dining car is not large.
Excluding Ronald himself, there are only seven tables sitting at the moment.
These people were divided in all ages, with one or two fewer people sitting quietly at each table, and three or four people more.
At the same time, they are dressed differently.
It can be seen from decent businessmen to civilians whose clothes can only be kept warm from the cold.
In general, the people here cover the passengers of all carriages of the entire train.
β......β
So, what about people?
In silence, Ronald put his chin in his hands and began to think.
The former middle-aged officer, and the later detective Swift, are not in the dining car at the moment.
This is not the attitude of calling everyone to investigate the case.
Even if something happens, you should leave someone with a strong enough status here to watch.
In the end, it's for ......
Wait a minute!
Suddenly, an answer came to mind that would explain the current situation.
If there is a 'suspect' on the train who has a special status and needs to be brought forward by both an officer and a detective.
Then the current situation can be explained.
Immediately, a name naturally came to Ronald's mind.
- Arida Boycombe.
Before boarding the train, Nessos suggested that the woman who was going to 'chase the stars'.
According to the introduction of 'Merchants'.
and discussions with other passengers while on the bus.
Ronald is sure this is a conjecture candidate.
Born in Grad as a child, Arida lost her parents and became known during her war-torn childhood.
Currently, she is one of the most famous drama actors and singers in the world.
It was even hailed as the 'Angel Diamond' by its admirers.
It is said that not long ago, the lady made a trip to Springs, the capital of Greid.
On the one hand, she plans to return to her childhood hometown to take a look at the scenery.
At the same time, he also received an invitation from the royal family of Grad to participate in a super event on a grand scale after next autumn.
Such a person is on the Dongfeng at this moment!
If you are suspected of being a 'suspect'......
Wait a minute!
At the same time, another idea popped up.
If the actress was killed on the train, it would definitely be a reason for the military to force the train to stop.
After all, it was a distinguished guest invited by the royal family.
Significant!
β......β
"I warn you, you are dishonoring Miss!"
"Lily, don't make a fuss."
"But, miss......"
Suddenly, a movement from behind Ronald interrupted his analysis.
With the voices of two young girls, one big and one small, the door of the dining car was pulled open from the outside.
For a momentβ
The already quiet carriage suddenly became even quieter.
It was as if even the sound of people's breathing had completely disappeared from here.
The sudden change was not because of the middle-aged officer and detective Swift who walked into the dining car.
It's the girl who came from Tingting under their protection.
It doesn't take anyone to introduce you, everyone in the dining car is aware of it.
- This is Arida.
The appearance of a young girl has a coquettishness that mortals cannot describe.
Even Hephaestus, the god of fire who forged Pandora's beauty, couldn't bear to change his face in the slightest.
At this moment, the girl is wearing a wide dressing gown.
But that didn't hide the drowsiness in her eyes.
A long hair as black as ebony was draped over the nightgown, and every strand of hair that hung up in a graceful posture was tugging at people's heartstrings.
This is the 'Angel Diamond'.
No doubt!
The only pity is that-
Ronald is not feeling well right now.
Very!
Very uncomfortable!
Because on Arida's flawless face, the seductive steel-blue pupils were in the first moment of entering the dining car.
It's firmly locked on yourself!
The next second, with the jealousy of the men around him.
Mixed with the joy of the girl, a lark-like melodious female voice sounded on the dining car of the Dongfeng:
"Ronald!"
"Long time no see~~"
