Chapter 2 The detective is back in the world

"Really, it's been a long time since you've seen me and you've given me such a big problem......"

Ye Chi listened to the information of the Thin Sword Envoy who had worked with him for a long time, and complained half-truthfully.

"Forget it, protect the scene, it would be best if there were video crystals or backtracking crystals." Ye Chi frowned tightly and hung up the communication.

Killings took place in the security zone and were suspected to be related to ropes......

Is it a peer?

Ye Chi entered the City of Initiation, "Transfer, Martin." Ye Chi said this sentence and disappeared into the transfer door in the distorted light curtain.

The streets on the "Fun of Life" floor are shrouded in such an atmosphere because of the excitement of the Raiders, and even if there is a suspected murder in the circle just now, this atmosphere has not been erased.

Ye Chi quickly rushed to the circular square, and unsurprisingly saw the figure of the sword envoy - at this time, she was no longer the little gray hat who was not famous and was only the only female player of the strategy and had a slight name, and now she was the strongest guild, the deputy head of the Blood Alliance Knights, and the ghost of the strategy with the name of Shining.

Ghost of the Raiders...... Ye Chi had a headache when he thought of this, this kid is useless...... However, her becoming like this is directly related to Ye Chi......

But at least the cloak was removed, didn't it?

Today, she wears a slim knight's suit in red and white - in fact, a white sleeveless top with a short red skirt, I don't believe that there were knights in women's clothes in the Middle Ages, even Joan of Arc was a woman dressed as a man - a chest guard on her chest, which was probably the only piece of armor, white leather gloves on her hands, and stockings of the same tone on her legs, which was a bit glaring......

Assassins who hide in the shadows forever, and knights of glitter...... Is there a combination worse than this?

Ye Chi's psychological activity was put aside after the two of them greeted each other.

"Yo Asuna, long time no see, have you finally taken off your little gray hat? I heard you're a glittering strategy ghost now......"

"Didn't you leave a letter and sneak away before? I go to the Black Iron Palace every day...... Didn't you also change out of that robe that looks like it will never be washed? And don't put these two monikers together! Especially the last one! ”

That's right, into the familiar nozzle mode......

As for the other person present, it was almost ignored......

"It turns out that you go to the Black Iron Palace every day for this-ah!" The black-clothed boy was suppressed as soon as he opened his mouth to brush his existence......

"Kirito, you're there too...... Ye Chi looked at the young man dressed in black, "Have you finally given up the stupid idea of cross-dressing?" And I'm still wearing the same clothes...... Didn't you have some strange interest? ”

"That's weird! Aren't you all black too! ”

"Don't you see my shiny silver trim and guard?"

The three of them suddenly laughed, "Anyway, welcome back, Levy-kun......" Asuna smiled very healingly.

"Anyway, why are you here......" Ye Chi squinted at Kiritto while looking at the camera crystal.

"Doesn't this guy know a lot of things that go off the beaten track? That's why it's called. ”

"Don't talk like I'm going to get out of the way!"

"Shhhhhhh

He put down the crystal, closed his eyes and pondered, "I see, is that why you called me?" ”

A man, heavily armoured and with his chest pierced, was hung by a rope from a small window of a church, and finally disappeared, or even died outright, all in a zone of absolute safety.

In addition to the short gun that pierced through the chest, the rope that exuded the most sense of presence was probably the one......

Speaking of ropes, it is associated with killing......

……

"That's right, you're probably the only player in SAO who can strangle people."

"Isn't it as if I'm the murderer?"

"Don't worry about the small details......" "But it's quite a concern!"

"Okay, that's it......" Ye Chi cleared his throat, "Let's take a look at the scene first......

It's a pretty ordinary room, like a single room in an inn, but it's true that at the beginning of the game, some people did think of it as a hotel......

In the middle of the room sat a simple wooden table. There is no way to move, which is called a "coordinate fixed object".

On one of its feet, a somewhat thin but strong rope was tied - it just looked like that.

"No one saw anyone running out? There is also no sign of victory in the duel? Ye Chi checked the rope and asked.

"No, just to be on the safe side, I had the player stand there at the entrance. Even if Transparency wants to escape, it will be discovered as soon as it is touched. This building also does not have a back door, and this is the only room with a window. ”

"So is it possible to still be in this room? Hide and seek with you, and run away when you slacken a little? ”

"How is that possible? Items that can neutralize my Seeking Skill won't drop even from the front line. ”

"Are you sure?" Ye Chi glanced at her, and disappeared in place without moving, "Actually, it's as simple as that." But in half a minute, Ye Chi's voice came downstairs.

"Don't be too confident in yourself, if you see someone who is dressed in a similar style to me, it is the right way to run away, even if you have a complete grasp of the enemy, you have to explore the point before you can see us...... I'm not sure if I'm a player...... After all, the owner of another skill, 'Assassination Sword', doesn't know yet...... Although I asked Rogerio, he kept saying that he was the only Master Assassin in Ein Grant...... If there is a second one, it should be me, and there will probably not be many Assassins of Eingrant higher rank than me after I killed Huberias. ”

Later, it turned out that Ye Chi thought too much, and the programming buddy was driven out before he had time to make a strong attack sword...... Assassination Sword is also just a backstory......

But he doesn't know it now......

Ye Chi entered the room again, "I'm not sure if my skills are good in the circle...... Now it's uncertain even the cause of this guy's death, whether it was suffocation and hanging or bleeding through it......"

"And even if I take action myself, even if I strangle such a heavily armored player with a steel rope...... It took a lot longer than that, not to mention this rotten hemp rope...... But ......"

"I have a good idea...... Ye Chi finished speaking, and glanced at Kirito with bad intentions......

"What are you doing...... Kirito was cold all over his body......

"I need a volunteer to validate my skills...... Please, right? ”

"Why not yourself...... Well, then why not her! ”

"Are you embarrassed to be a man! Let's go down! Even if he hung up the rope noose, Kirito was grinding and chirping, and Ye Chi kicked him out.

watched him dance there for a long time, and then Ye Chi let go and let him fall from the second floor.

"How does it feel?" The others squatted in front of Kirito who was squabbling on the street, looking at him with a playful expression.

"It sucks! Why did you just drop me? But I really felt suffocated, and I couldn't speak. The HP has not decreased ...... either."

"That's right...... Judging from the fact that person can still howl, it's not a peer......" Ye Chi commented.

"Having said that...... hasn't Levijun ever thought about when he will return to the front line?"

"Have you thought about it...... Replace this guy ...... "Ye Chi's ejected Hidden Blade, looking still sharp but already a little too ordinary", upgrade, no matter what, it's almost the same...... After all, I've got a good knife, so ......"

Ye Chi sighed and observed the rope sleeve again. "Sure enough, is the problem with the short gun?"

The entire body is made of the same kind of black metal, which is rare even in weapons of this type. It is about one and a half meters in length, the grip is about thirty centimeters, and along the handle, the fifteen-centimeter-long tip shimmers with a sharp sheen.

It is characterized by short barbs all over the handle. In this case, if you pierce deeply and do not pull it out, it will have a special effect. Even if you want to pull it out, you will need a lot of strength.

In this case, in addition to the numerical parameters set by the player, the strength of the signal released from the brain and intercepted by NERvGear from the medulla oblongata. At that moment, the heavily armored man who was consumed by the fear of death...... To put it simply, I was scared and weak, and I couldn't use my strength.

Ye Chi used a short gun, but in reality, it was still a pair, and it was barely a house......

"How do you use this thing...... It doesn't feel at all......" Ye Chi complained when he lifted the short gun.

Even if you don't have the skill to control the weapon, you can fight with your own experience alone, but this gun feels terrible......

The center of gravity is too forward, and those barbs can not only hinder the pull-out, but also the stabbing can also hinder it, and the biggest effect of this thing is to hit people with maces.

"This thing is nothing but killing players......"

After all, only players are paralyzed......

"Forget it, I want to meet the witnesses......" Ye Chi stuffed the garbage into the storage compartment and said.

"Guys, have you seen the whole process?"

A few seconds later, a cowering female player walked out of the crowd. I don't have any impression of her face.,The equipment is just an ordinary one-handed sword made of NPCs.,Presumably a tourist from the middle level.。

Asuna took a step forward and stopped in front of the female player, "I'm so sorry, something terrible happened just now." What's your name? ”

"That'...... That's my name, Yurko. ”

"When did you first find out about this?"

"I ...... I'm just ...... The person who was killed was a friend. I made an appointment to come here for dinner today, but I got separated in this square...... And then...... And then ............"

Unable to say anything more, Yul covered his mouth with both hands.

Asuna took her trembling and weak shoulders and led her toward the interior of the church. Let her sit on one of the benches placed side by side in several rows, and sit beside her.

Full witness from start to finish? If you see your friend suffer such a cruel PK from beginning to end, the impact is probably hard to imagine.

Asuna stroked Yurko's back, and after a while, she stopped crying and apologized in a small voice.

"Uh-huh, that's okay. You can wait as long as you want, calm down, and tell us well, okay? ”

"Good...... Already...... No problem anymore. ”

Surprisingly strong, Yurco took Asuna's hand and adjusted his sitting posture and nodded.

"That man...... It's called Cainz. We used to be members of the same union...... Now, I occasionally team up with him or have dinner...... And then, today, too, to have dinner on this street......"

She closed her eyes tightly for a while, and continued in a still trembling voice:

“…… However, there were so many people that they were scattered in the square...... I was looking around when suddenly, through the window of this church, someone, Kainz, fell and was hung in the air...... And, the chest, the gun is ......"

"At that time, did you see anyone else?"

In response to Asuna's question, Yurco fell silent instantly.

Then he nodded slowly, but clearly.

"Yes...... There was only a moment, but behind Keynz, it seemed to ...... There was a man standing......"

Is it really someone? Could it really be a peer?

Probably thinking of the same thing at the same time, Asuna's back trembled instantly. But he soon raised his head and asked Yuerko:

"Do you know that figure?"

“…………”

Yurco closed his mouth for a moment in deep thought, and after a few seconds, shook his head as if he had no answer. Seeing this, Ye Chi interjected, "Have you seen that person with this mark?" Or is it something like this? He tugged at a metal crest on his left arm, the Assassin logo, but a silver-white color reserved for high-ranking Assassins.

"Nope."

"That...... It may sound uncomfortable, but do you know ......? Mr. Cainz, the reason why he is being targeted......"

As if he was very frightened, the moment he heard this, Yurco stiffened. It's the same thing.,Is there a way to ask a female player whose friend has just been killed.,What kind of person is the victim?? However, if you ask who has a motive for committing the crime, the suspicion is instantly narrowed down to a social circle......

However, Yuerke also shook his head this time.

Seeing that she looked a little frustrated, "That's it, I'm sorry" Ye Chi said like this, calling Asuna aside, "I can only start with that weapon first...... I couldn't get any useful clues from her. ”

At this time, Ye Chi received a summons that Kirito had arrived at the Black Iron Palace, and found the deceased Kainz according to Yuerke's instructions, and it was indeed crossed out, and the cause of death was through.

Thing...... It's a big deal......
