Knowing that this was a horror world, Su Yu couldn't simply treat him as a human being.
After chasing for a while, Su Yu lost track of the person because she was unfamiliar with the terrain of the suspended harbor.
Running wildly down the street carrying such a large sledgehammer is clearly inappropriate.
So she put away her weapon for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, she turned back, puffing on her pipe as she examined the route the bandaged man had taken.
"this is……"
She found an earring between two railings.
Although the item was dropped very discreetly, the smoke made her observation skills much sharper than usual. She not only found a lost earring but also bloodstains on the flowers and plants in the cracks of the steps.
"Looks like something happened upstairs."
Su Yu raised her head and looked at the dark third-floor space.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Did I develop Conan-like qualities after I started playing the detective?"
Out of caution, she did not immediately go upstairs to search for the crime scene.
She decided to go downstairs discreetly, find a place nearby to have some tea, and rest for a while.
If you want to find out gossip about a place, you should go to a teahouse or a snack stall.
Su Yu took out a thousand-yuan ghost money note from her pocket, handed it to the teahouse owner, ordered a pot of the best tea, and then took out another thousand-yuan ghost money note and handed it to the teahouse girl who often secretly flirted with her.
"Would you like to have some tea with me?"
"Of course! But you'll have to treat me."
The teahouse girl happily pocketed the money, sat down next to Su Yu, and, without treating herself as an outsider, poured herself a full cup of fine tea.
"You look unfamiliar. Are you a tourist from out of town?"
"Ah."
Since the other party had already prepared an excuse, Su Yu went along with it.
"Since you're from out of town, I have to tell you a secret." The teahouse girl smiled knowingly and reached out to try and hold Su Yu's hand.
Su Yu looked at her warily.
That expressionless face is still quite frightening.
The teahouse girl could only awkwardly pull her hand back from mid-air and scratch the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Well, it's not really a big secret."
"That's right. If you're going to stay here for more than three days, you'd better hurry up and find a partner."
"You'll die if you stay single for more than three days."
Su Yu nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"So, would you like to consider me? I can do everything, blow, pull, play..."
"No thanks."
"Since you're so cute, I can charge you less."
"No, thank you."
The teahouse girl, having been rejected multiple times, didn't look too happy.
It wasn't until Su Yu threw out another 1,000 yuan ghost money note that she regained her enthusiasm.
"Hehe, what kind of information do you want to ask? I'll tell you everything I know."
Su Yu pointed to the house on the left side of the waterway, which was the building she had just come from.
"What kind of people live in that building?"
Hearing Su Yu ask this, the teahouse girl snorted and said disdainfully, "There! They're all penniless wanderers who came here, doing all sorts of things."
Then, she lowered her voice and said to Su Yu:
"Sir, seeing how generous you are, I'd like to offer you a special reminder: stay away from that area! There have been three murders there in just seven days!"
122. Leave random thoughts for tonight, let's get down to business first!
"The one who died the day before yesterday was a songstress named Mary, who worked at the White Sails Opera House over there."
"It is said that her eyes were gouged out, her body was dismembered, her head was hung from the beam, and her body was hidden in various corners of the room, with blood covering the entire room!"
"The one who died the day before yesterday was a stripper named Janet, who worked at a bar on the street behind."
"Her death was also horrific. I heard that her head has not been found yet, and her body was stuffed into a meat grinder and shredded."
"As for the one who died last night, she was the scariest! Her name was Liv..."
At this point, the teahouse girl spread her hands out to Su Yu, making a gesture as if asking for money.
Just as Su Yu was about to give her another piece of ghost money, a hand pressed down on her.
Su Yu turned around and met Miss Ghost King's smiling eyes.
That malicious smile made Su Yu realize instantly that she was in for trouble tonight.
The Ghost King, who usually can't find an opportunity, will try every means to create one. Now that there are opportunities everywhere, how could she possibly let them go?
Miss Ghost King calmly took her money and then held her hand.
These delicate hands are so wonderful, I can never get enough of playing with them.
However, now is not the time to play this game.
The Ghost King sat down next to Su Yu and smiled, "If you want to ask me anything, just ask me."
Su Yu: "..."
Before she could say anything, the Ghost King turned his head and glared at the teahouse girl.
The murderous intent in his eyes terrified the other person, who screamed and scrambled away.
Su Yu rubbed her forehead and secretly wiped away a bead of cold sweat.
"Why are you here?"
"How could I not come?" Miss Ghost King snorted. "This floating harbor is a terrible place! If I didn't come, wouldn't you end up like the Fallen Saintess?"
Su Yu blushed instantly: "That's impossible!"
No matter what, she will try her best to preserve her integrity.
It's obvious that in this place, money can solve all the problems between couples.
What kind of big deal is it if it can be solved with money?
"Anyway, let's get down to business first."
Miss Ghost King adopted a more serious expression.
However, her hands under the table were never serious for a single minute.
Su Yu clearly felt her hand stroking back and forth around her waist.
Although they are both girls, Miss Ghost King's hands are much wider than hers, and her fingers are slender and long, making her look like she is very good at handicrafts... Oh, I mean, origami, knitting sweaters, washing abalone or something.
Su Yu really wanted to move her hand away.
However, no matter whether I move forward or to the side, she will follow closely.
"Miss Ghost King!"
"Hmm?" The Ghost King looked at her with innocent eyes: "Why is your face suddenly so red?"
"You bully people!"
Su Yu huffed angrily.
Why is her face so red? Doesn't she realize it?
The Ghost King suddenly slapped her on the bottom: "Alright, leave your wild thoughts for tonight, let's get down to business! By the way, what information were you trying to ask her about?"
Su Yu gritted her teeth: "...I've almost forgotten!"
Miss Ghost King burst out laughing.
Oh dear, the kitten got angry after being teased.
We can't tease her anymore; she needs to catch her breath and relax.
"Oh, I do remember. You want to ask about the guy who died last night, right?"
"..."
"It's a very simple question. How else could she have died? She was strangled unconscious, then thrown into a bone-dissolving solution, remaining conscious, and dissolved into a skeleton while still alive, right?"
"Ah, this?!"
Su Yu felt there were many things to complain about, but at this point, she didn't know where to even begin.
Miss Ghost King continued:
“The suspended port is an exception here because the human population here is particularly large, accounting for more than 40% of the island’s residents.”
"Most of these humans are people who went missing in the other world due to maritime or aerial accidents."
"After arriving here, I was forced to coexist with monsters, beast girls and the like, and struggle to survive."
"And the number of criminals here is also unusually high, accounting for almost 10% of the island's residents."
"Therefore, you can't see any wanted posters on the walls here. There are so many wanted posters that they could revise several tons of books."
Hearing this, Su Yu was also shocked.
Those humanoid creatures that look like humans are actually human?
Unfortunately, after being transported to this place, they found themselves living a life worse than death.
