Chapter 1522 Sure enough, something happened (let's learn cat meow together, meow meow meow together)
Before dawn the next day, a quick knock on the door interrupted the sweet dream of Fang Zheng and the flowers.
"Really, what the hell are you doing so early."
Glancing at the dark sky outside, Fang Zheng yawned, then stood up and walked to the door, pulling the door open. Soon, I saw an old man in a housekeeper's uniform outside the door, standing there, looking at her with a serious face.
"I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but ......... Please come to the lobby now! β
After saying this, the old butler left in a hurry, and Fang Zheng glanced at the flower who had just gotten up from the other bed, revealing a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong? Little Red? β
Hurriedly put on his coat, the flowers also came to Fang Zheng's side at this time and asked curiously, while Fang Zheng pouted.
"Just check it out."
As Fang Zheng said, when the two of them came to the lobby, they immediately understood what was going on.
At the end of the lobby, on the angel statue in the center of the stairs, a woman was being hung.
Strictly speaking, she appeared in front of everyone as if she had been impaled by the sword in the angel statue's hand and held it high.
Although the woman's eyes were brutally gouged out, leaving only two huge holes, it can still be seen from the kimono and long black hair that this woman appeared in front of everyone yesterday and claimed to be in charge of the matter, βββ Reiri Kano, the representative of the Law and Political Affairs Division.
"Hmmm.........!"
Seeing this scene, the flower suddenly trembled, and involuntarily approached the red ponytail beside her. Although she had already studied magic, it was the first time she had actually seen a corpse with her own eyes, not to mention that the corpse's death was so tragic, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
βββββββ
And unlike flowers, Founder whistled.
"Look, if something happened, I knew that it was a pity that this place was not used for reasoning and murder."
I just don't know who will play the role of Conan.
At this moment, the other magicians who had been invited also came here, and they were also very surprised to see the scene in front of them, except for Rosalind who was a little frightened, everyone else seemed to be very calm.
"Heine, can you help me let her down?"
At this moment, I saw Ermelo II come forward and whisper. Heine nodded, and then reached out, and soon saw a wire emerge from his fingertips, cutting off the long sword. Heine then caught the body that had fallen from it and placed her on the ground.
"It's rude."
As he spoke, he saw Ermelo II walk up to the corpse of Ryori Kano and begin to quickly examine the body. Soon, he gave his own answer.
"It looks like the eyes have been savagely gouged out by a sharp weapon similar to claws, and there are large peel marks on the back, most likely magic marks. If you don't do that, a magician of a similar skill won't die. β
Saying this, Ermelo II seemed to have discovered something again, and he reached out and picked up the envelope that had fallen out of Ryori Kano's sleeveβββ which on the face of it did not seem to be any different from the invitations of others. He cautiously opened the envelope, glanced at its contents, and then looked surprised.
"Huh? She also has angelic names, and so on......... It's ........."
Saying this, Ermelo II seemed to sense something, and his face suddenly became much gloomy.
"Little Red? What's going on? β
At this moment, the flowers also came to Fang Zheng's side and asked in a low voice, and Fang Zheng shook his head.
"I don't know......... Well, let the detective start his show, we'll just have to watch. β
"But......... Everyone else seems to be very calm........."
As she spoke, the flowers looked around, and everyone seemed accustomed to it, except for Heine's sister, the seven-year-old girl, Rosalind, who was away from the scene of the murder out of fear. This made the flower somewhat surprised, after all, she didn't look at the reasoning, generally speaking, when a body is found on such an occasion, everyone shouldn't start yelling "Why is this happening?" "Who did it?" Do you get panicked and excited? Why do these people just feel as if they don't react other than to be serious?
"Of course, this is a magician, and it's too abnormal to expect them to have the reaction of ordinary people. This group of people themselves live in a world where they are either killed or killed every day, how can they start jumping because only a few people have died? β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
This time, the flower didn't speak, she just frowned slightly, staring at the scene in front of her. Perhaps it was only now that she had a more realistic understanding of what kind of magicians in this world were.
And it was at this time that Detective Ermelo II spoke again.
"Perhaps, we're all mistaken."
"Mistaken?"
Hearing this, the other magicians turned their heads to look at him, while Ermelo II continued.
"Angel names are not a hint of a legacy at all, nor are they a puzzle........."
"What's that?"
At this moment, the old man in the wheelchair also asked. Ermelo II sighed as if he was about to have a stomach attack, and then continued.
"AS MENTIONED BEFORE, THE SEVENTY-TWO ANGELS OF SHEMAMPHORAE CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE ZODIAC SIGNS, BUT THEY CAN ALSO BE COMPARED TO THE HUMAN BODY, AND THE BIG UNIVERSE AND THE SMALL UNIVERSE USUALLY TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER, SPEAKING OF WHICH, YOU SHOULD ALL UNDERSTAND."
While speaking, Ermelo II picked up the envelope in his hand, and the magicians present all showed a look of sudden realization, only Fang Zheng and Hua Hua still played the role of the melon eaters who did not know the truthβββ for Fang Zheng, whether it was with "Confession Rank" or with Future Vision, it was easy to find out the murderer of the deceased, and there was no need for this kind of boring reasoning.
Well, that's right, just as the cameras and DNA tests that filled the streets robbed the detective of his job, Sherlock Holmes must have been living on the streets long ago in modern times.
"THE ANGELIC NAME OF RYORI KANO IS HACHASIAH, WHICH IS AN ANGEL WITH THE HOUSE OF ARIES AS THE RULING HOUSE. The Aries Palace is roughly the head of the human body, in more detail........."
At this, Ermelo II paused for a moment and looked at the corpse in front of him again.
"LIMITED TO HACHASIAH, IT SYMBOLIZES EYEBALLS."
As soon as these words came out, the air present changed instantly.
"I see."
At this time, even flowers, who did not know much about magic, understood what Ermelo II meant. The angelic name of Ryori Kano symbolizes the eyeball, and now her eyeball has been gouged out, and in yesterday's will announcement, there is also [those who cannot answer the question must be deprived by the angel], so that is to say...............
"Xiaohong, could it be that the woman named Ryori Kano also wants to inherit the inheritance, so she answered the angel's question, but because she answered incorrectly, she was killed, right?"
"Maybe."
Fang Zheng yawned boredly, and then looked ahead with interest.
"But there's something more interesting than reasoning right now, right?"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the flowers looked forward again, only to find that the group of magicians had already stirred at the moment.
"Ryori Kano is the only one who knows the secret method among the people gathered in Stripping City, and there is no need to get it."
"Hahaha, so the beast carefully peeled off the magic mark and gouged out the eyes, and then strung people here? Is it so funny? β
"So, you mean, the prisoners are among us?"
To the surprise of the flowers, even if someone suggested that this reasoning would almost certainly cause a commotion, the magicians present did not seem to waver in the slightest.
"This ......... This ........."
Seeing this scene, the flowers couldn't understand anything.
"Why did they react this way? Aren't they afraid that they will be killed? β
"Isn't that what magicians are? Even if you can fight each other, you can definitely survive, that's what those guys think, you really think they're the defenseless NPCs in the reasoning. β
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng also grinned.
"In fact, there is no need for such an exaggerated treasure hunt, there is a way to be 100% guaranteed that you will find the secret methodβββ as long as you kill all the heirs except yourself, won't it be fine? The world of magicians is not legal, let alone moral, and no one will go to the police. Of course, at the level of stupidity these guys are at the moment, they won't give up and leave......... It's ridiculous, general reasoning will go to great lengths to form a secret room with isolated islands or heavy rain and snow, but here, there is no need for external natural conditions at all, because this group of people will not actively choose to run away by themselves. β
"So what are we going to do?"
"What should I do, continue to watch the show, the first-person full-perspective mystery plot of the closed room murder, where can I find such a good opportunity?"
As he spoke, Fang Zheng turned around.
"Alright, let's go back to our room for breakfast, and then let's go to the courtyard, and look at the way this group looks now, it's not strange when the fight starts." It's good to be a melon-eating crowd who doesn't know the truth, but I'm not interested in being involved. β
After that, the two went back to the room to have breakfast, and then came to the garden behind the castle, facing the lake and woods not far away, Fang Zheng hummed a song and took out his notebook, and continued to start his own project, while Flowers silently took out a copy of "Sherlock Holmes Detective Book" and began to read.
Although I am not very interested in this kind of book on weekdays, I always have a special mood in reading this book in the hometown of Sherlock Holmes right now.
"Hum Hum ........."
There was a humming sound in her ears, and the flowers unconsciously raised her head and looked at the red ponytail girl sitting next to her and clicking on the computer.
What a weird girl.
Speaking of which, Flowers knew almost nothing about the girl in front of her, and she also heard from her teacher Fiore, "When you get to the airport, a girl named Red Ponytail will come to you", as for who this Red Ponytail is, Fiore didn't say directly. But judging from what Flowers has observed so far, it is clear that she has a lot to do with the Thousand Worlds Tree.
And according to the peers along the way, except for the red ponytail's language and demeanor, like a boy, other places are unexpectedly quite easy to get along with. And although she didn't say it clearly, the flowers also knew that the other party had actually taken good care of her.
What's more, I don't know why, every time I see her side face, the flowers feel an inexplicable throbbing in the depths of her heart.
It's as if an electric current is running through your body, or your heart is being held tightly by something, and even if it's just occasionally swept by the bright red double ponytail, it makes you nervous.
What's going on here?
"Sorry to interrupt."
At this moment, suddenly, a voice sounded, interrupting Flowers' thoughts, and she looked up, only to see a girl with curly blond hair and a blue dress standing not far away, watching them. I remember that the girl's name seems to be Luvia.........
"Yo, isn't this a golden drill? What are you looking for us? β
Fang Zheng looked up from his notebook, glanced at the blonde girl, and said hello with a grin.
"Golden Diamond ..............."
Hearing Fang Zheng's greeting, Luvia instantly raised her brows, but perhaps because of her long-term good tutoring, she barely suppressed the emotions in her heart.
"My name is Luvia Zelita. Edfeldt, please remember the name as well, Miss Red Ponytail. β
"I see, Golden Drill."
"Ruvia!"
"Okay, Golden Drill, what's the matter with me?"
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
After staring at the red ponytail girl in front of her for a moment, Luvia seemed to have finally given up and reluctantly chose to change the subject.
"I'm here to ask where you were after dinner yesterday?"
"Do an alibi? Does that make sense? Even if I say I killed me, what can you do to me? Do you just pounce on it and fight? Or go to the police? β
ββ¦β¦β¦ Please also answer my question. β
Although she was still calm on the surface, even the flowers could tell that Ruvia's patience was running out.
"Well, I've been working on projects in my room after dinner last night, and I'm reading a book, but this shabby place is really old and backward, and I don't even have a cable TV, so I can't watch the evening news if I want to watch it........."
"Sorry to interrupt."
Before the red ponytail could finish speaking, the golden drill bit ......... No, Luvia simply interrupted her complaining and turned to leave. The red ponytail glanced at Luvia's distant back, then picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip of tea.
"Xiaohong, you're too rude to Miss Luvia."
Although I thought it was ridiculous, at this time the flowers couldn't help coughing and reminding them.
"What's the way, who told her to comb her hair into that ghostly look, if she doesn't comb it into a drill, I won't call it a drill, besides, what's wrong with a drill, it's a man's romance."
Sure enough, the red ponytail didn't mean to be obedient at all, just smiled and waved her hand, and then she looked to the other side again.
"So, what's the matter with these two here coming to us? Probably for the purpose of investigating alibi. β
Hearing this, Huahua hurriedly turned her head and looked in the direction of the red ponytail's eyes, and soon, she saw a brother and sister walking out of the corridor on the other side.
That's Heine. Istali and Rosalind. Istali siblings.
