Chapter 69: An Inscrutable Mystery
"Where do we start?" After leaving the study, Chiko followed Eric.
"Where you disappear, you start. In fact, Eric was also very puzzled by how Kairaz had managed to hide without a trace, full of agents and special operations forces in the castle, who had previously been supported by Thatch, and now he was alone, and with a huge Leonardo.
Chiko quietly followed behind Eric, looking at the way he was thinking, and it didn't seem to be so annoying. Especially the last sentence that I just said in the study - is Eric reassuring himself?
At this time, when Eric and Chiko had just walked to the elevator on the third floor, there was a dull sound from the staircase around the corner. Eric and Chiko glanced at each other and immediately understood what they were thinking.
"Thatch's vicious dog is really annoying, and he wants us to go to his study again. Eric said deliberately at the top of his throat.
"You have to respect Commissioner Thatch, and don't forget, we're still on his turf. Chiko also said loudly, but her figure quietly approached the staircase around the corner.
"Don't forget, you're an agent of country K, so there's no need to be respectful to him. Eric continued loudly.
At this time, Chiko had already reached the staircase, she pulled out the gun she had just received from Thatch at her waist, flicked the safety bolt of the gun, took a deep breath, and quickly twisted her right leg leaning against the corner, driving her body forward towards the stairs. At this moment, Qianzi saw a ghostly black shadow suddenly sweeping towards the second floor.
"Who is it!" Chiko held down the handrail of the staircase with one hand, propped up her whole body and sat on the handrail, sliding quickly down the slope of the staircase, and at the same time firing two shots in the direction of the black shadow.
Seeing this, Eric immediately followed, and when he rushed to the staircase, he saw a black-clad agent lying in the stairwell between the second and third floors, and the dark red blood on his chest was still spreading rapidly like a blooming lotus. At this time, Chiko had already slid along the handrail to the last few steps, and as soon as she twisted her waist, her whole body immediately flipped from the handrail on the third floor to the second floor, but she still only saw the black shadow of the murderer.
"Stop chasing!" Eric suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately stopped Chiko.
"Why?" Chiko asked angrily after hearing Eric's command.
"Didn't you notice that you had fired two shots in a row, such a loud gunshot, but it didn't cause any reaction on the second floor!" He walked over to the dead agent in black and pulled out the jeweled lens that had been taken from the exhibition room, and when Eric saw the wound on the agent's chest, he was incredulous.
"Come and have a look. Eric handed the lens to Chiko. Chiko took the lens with a look of disgruntle, leaning down to observe the knife wound in the agent's chest. Through the lens, Chiko was surprised to find that the flat knife edge was as thin as a piece of paper, but after the knife edge was five centimeters inward, the originally very thin wound turned into a small inside and wide bottle mouth, which was like a special short knife, and the thin paper-like blade was ejected into the agent's chest, quickly rotating it clockwise, and after disturbing the entire atrium, it quickly bounced back along the incision that had been stabbed.
"This ......" Chiko was amazed by Kailas's technique, in order to create such a wonderful wound, it was necessary to control the rapid ejection of the blade with extreme precision, and any deviation in angle and force would fail.
"Come and see. While Chiko was observing the wound, Eric had already reached the entrance to the second floor of Hudson Castle.
"You!" Chiko wanted Eric to be careful, but she always felt that these two words would become very strange when they came out of her mouth.
She walked to the entrance and looked to the left and right of the hallway, where there were five or six agents lying on the ground, and from their empty hands, these agents had been killed without even having a chance to draw their guns.
"It's horrible. Qianzi couldn't help but sweat for his recklessness just now.
Eric walked to the door of a room, shook the door, and said, "This floor was originally the bedroom of the Hudson Castle servants, and now these servants are all gathered in the living room by Thatch to take care of them, so this empty room provides great convenience for Kailas's assassination." It has to be said that he is definitely a world-class professional killer. ”
"Then Leonardo—" Chiko noticed that the black shadow just now was single, and he didn't have the old man with him.
"Have you noticed that the wounds on the chest of these agents are very different from those on Shock's? Eric began to pay attention to the number of each door, which had the name of each servant written on it, "It's clear that the wound in the chest of these agents must have been caused by a special blade, and Schoke's wound was caused by a normal knife that resembled a fruit knife, do you know what that means?"
"This - it means that Kairaz changed his murder weapon halfway through. "This sure son knows very well that a world-class professional killer like Kailas must have a weapon that is like life.
"Well, Kailas is now Mrs. Hudson's servant, and every servant at Hudson Castle has its own bedroom—" Eric stopped in front of the door of one of his rooms.
Chiko immediately saw the clue, she clenched her gun, held her breath, and quietly walked to Eric's side. In fact, seeing these agents who were easily killed by Kailas, Qianzi's heart was already worried, she didn't expect that not long after her debut, she would have to face such a terrible killer, she couldn't believe that she, and the rogue detective next to her, could get out of the way.
However, Eric didn't seem to see Chiko's nervousness and uneasiness, and in an unguarded situation, he reached out and gently pushed the door. Chiko's heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she slammed Eric's away, allowing herself to grab to the front door of the room, her right index finger already half-pressed the trigger of the gun.
"What are you doing!" Erik rubbed his red nose in pain as he was knocked against the wall.
At this time, Chiko's back was already dripping with cold sweat, and when she heard Eric's anger, she suddenly became angry. She grabbed Eric, threw him against the wall again, and said angrily, "You listen to me, you are not allowed to do anything without my permission! And don't forget your identity, you are still the number one suspect in the CIA!"
Eric, who had not yet recovered, was suddenly violently thrown against the wall by Chiko, and his nose, which had been red, kissed the wall again. This made Eric feel inexplicable: how could this woman have so many faces, one second she still looked like an innocent little girl, and the next second she became a violent maniac shouting and killing.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to guess the true face of the woman in front of me for the rest of my life. Eric secretly cried out for himself in his heart.
