Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Warhammer Retirement

Chapter 388

"Innsmouth? I haven't heard of it."

Neil shook his head as he smoked his pipe.

"Have you ever heard of Jamie Iverson?"

Lu Mingfei asked again.

Jamie Iverson is the name on the crew papers.

"No, there is no such person in our town."

This time Neil said firmly without thinking much.

He has lived in the town all his life and knows all the residents by heart.

"Look at this picture."

Lu Mingfei took out a yellowish photo.

Randolph Carter was not an investigator decades ago, and he didn't get to the bottom of the origin of the crew.

Later, because of other more interesting incidents, I put this incident in the corner of my memory.

If they hadn't asked about it, he might not have remembered such an experience until he was writing his memoirs.

However, Randolph Carter will naturally not be completely unprepared.

He used his camera to snap pictures of the crew before the cremation.

"Isn't this Sean, why do you have his photo?"

Neil said in surprise.

"Is this someone from your town?"

Lu Mingfei didn't answer his question.

"That's right, it's from our town, but when he was a teenager, he left the town to wander around and never came back. Is he dead?"

Neil asked lightly.

"Yes."

"What did he do outside? Where did he die?"

Neil asked again.

"Being a seafarer ended up dying in a hospital in Australia."

Lu Mingfei replied.

"An expected ending."

Neil pouted.

There will always be young people like Sean who are unwilling to be lonely in the town, but very few of them return home in the end.

"Does he have any family in town?"

Lu Mingfei asked again.

"Yes. Why are you asking about this?"

Neil became wary again.

"That's right. Professor Randolph Carter, the deputy dean of our college, was Sean's good friend during his lifetime. After his death, he cremated his body according to his will."

"Now Professor Carter wants to send Sean's ashes back to his hometown for burial, so he entrusts us to investigate first."

Connie explained on his behalf.

"It turns out that's the case. I said how could someone come to investigate in a small place like ours."

Neil chuckled.

"We are mainly here for research, this is a side task. However,"

Connie argued.

"Okay, needless to say, I'll take you to Marsh's house."

Neil looked like he saw through everything.

The Marsh family used to be a well-known family in the town, and one-third of the property in the village belonged to his family.

But since more than 100 years ago, the situation of the Marsh family has taken a sharp turn for the worse. By the generation of Sean Marsh, there is nothing but the ancestral mansion.

This is probably why Sean Marsh wants to go out and make a living.

This was Neil's guess, but Lu Mingfei felt that there was something else hidden.

The size of the town is not too big, and a group of people arrived at Arthur Street in the south after walking for more than ten minutes.

This street used to be a mansion area, where several famous families lived.

However, with the changes of the times, even a conservative person like Neil prefers to live in the north of the town close to the road, and this place has become deserted.

Now, except for a few poor ghosts, the only ones who are willing to live here are the Marsh family.

"Here, the biggest house is their home."

Neil pointed to the five-story mansion at the end of the street.

"It's not easy for them. The little money they earn is used to repair the house."

He sighed.

When the Marsh family was still rich, they didn't do much tyranny, so the people in the town didn't hate their family, at most they gloated about their misfortune.

"The Marsh family is also stubborn, and refuses to ask us to help every time the house is repaired. We have been neighbors for hundreds of years, so there is no shame in that."

Neal shook his head at the Marsh family's desperate behavior.

But Lu Mingfei heard something different.

The people in the town are not allowed to help repair the house, maybe because they can't let go of their self-esteem, or maybe because they are afraid of revealing some secrets.

At this moment, his ears suddenly trembled slightly.

"There's a car moving."

Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang spoke almost simultaneously.

"Brother Chu Zihang, take a company to chase after him."

he said immediately.

Since the number of battle groups increased, Lu Mingfei organized the combat members.

In a row are Finger, Erika, Yuanzhinv, and Ling.

The second company is Akina Sakai, Wuyue, Takal, and Xia Mi.

"Yes."

Chu Zihang immediately charged in the direction of the sound of the car with a company.

And Lu Mingfei rushed to the mansion of the Marsh family with Erlian.

"You guys are, uh."

Neil turned pale with fright, and was about to question him when he was hit hard in the back of the head.

Connie Windsor withdrew the knife in his hand and caught the limp mayor by the way.

"Mr. Mayor, you should have a good sleep."

He said, and then looked in the direction of the two waves of people.

"It's a horrible hearing. Could it be that Lu Mingfei's speech spirit is Sickle Weasel? But isn't Chu Zihang's speech spirit Jun Yan? Why can he hear it?"

Connie was a little puzzled, but he suppressed his curiosity.

The task assigned to him by the patriarch was to accompany Lu Mingfei and solve the problems they encountered within his authority. He would not do unnecessary things.

The information Connie learned showed that those who did unnecessary things would end badly.

Lu Mingfei directly smashed into the heavy door of the mansion, and the oak door more than ten centimeters thick was directly shattered.

He looked around the hall, and several people with guns were hiding in the corner, looking at him nervously.

"You broke into the house illegally, we have called the police. Get out, or we will shoot."

The leading middle-aged man shouted, his voice distorted due to fear.

"Are you sure the police didn't come to arrest you?"

Lu Mingfei mocked.

In order to transport equipment, he has also learned about the relevant laws of the United Kingdom.

British law allows citizens to own some firearms, but Scotland completely prohibits the possession of rifles.

These men were holding shotguns, clearly prohibited.

When the middle-aged man heard the words, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he pulled the trigger.

A dozen or so steel balls were ejected by the shock wave from the explosion, and rushed towards Lu Mingfei's body.

Although the impact points of the shotgun are very scattered, but with the range of his attack, at least seven or eight shots can be hit, and he will be disfigured even if he is not dead.

However, with Lu Mingfei's reaction speed, he naturally wouldn't wait for the opponent to shoot.

When he made a mockery, his body was already moving.

The huge body is as nimble as a kestrel, and the outstretched arms are like wings covering the sky and the sun, shrouding the enemy in danger.

Those people were startled, just as they were about to raise their guns, Lu Mingfei's claws had already reached in front of them.

Like a magic trick, the guns in their hands were piled on the ground in the blink of an eye, and they were kicked against the wall and slowly slid down.

"Go and see if there are any survivors, and if there are any, kill them all."

Lu Mingfei ordered.

"clear."

The soldiers of the Second Company all showed cruel smiles, just like the villains in the propaganda images of the Empire.
