“？？？”

Xiao Yan looked at the judge in surprise.

Why? Obviously, there is still a lack of sufficient evidence, why should the captain's crime be exposed, and besides, the murderer obviously has great power, and it is too dangerous for a conflict to break out at this time.

"What do you say? Your honor. The captain smiled wryly, "I did leave the living room for a while, but...... But I'm chasing down Lina's killer! And when the murderer cut off the power, wasn't I with you? ”

"It's a simple trick, I know it when I see the electric switch." The judge said, "You hold the switch in the living room with ice, and at the same time hang the ice cube on the switch as a weight, and when the ice cube as a support melts away and can no longer support it in height and falls to the ground, the weight pulls the switch and falls, so that the switch is closed." It is a simple timer device. Those transparent crystals on the floor of the power distribution room are the fragments of ice that have fallen to the ground, and if we arrive a little later, there will be no clue that the ice will melt at the warm room temperature. ”

"Uh......" the captain opened his mouth, "that's ridiculous, so how do I hang the weight?" Is there anything like rope there? ”

"Yes," the judge chuckled, "hair, with which ice cubes can be tied, and when they fall, they will mix with the hair of the dead maid. ”

“……”

"After leaving the living room, you came to the door of the master bedroom," the judge looked into the captain's eyes, "and you and Mr. Fang agreed in advance that there was something confidential to say, and this method opened the door. This is also the method used, you asked Mr. Fang to turn off the surveillance record to avoid leaving your whereabouts. ”

"Then, you killed the owner of this villa, broke the gate, and disguised as if there were other signs of the murderer's presence in this house." The judge's tone was unquestionable, "However, the blood stains from the time you killed Mr. Fang splattered on the ground at the door, which happened to be blocked by the damaged gate. This tells us that the murderer who opened this door was someone familiar to the owner. ”

"Well, this ......" Hao Liansi's face turned pale for a while, "It's all speculation, you don't have evidence, right!" You have no evidence, why should I kill Mr. Fang? ”

Xiao Yan also turned his head to look at the judge, this is the most critical part, how to reach a decisive conclusion?

"Genetics is such an interesting subject," the judge looked at everyone present and smiled slightly, "Are you also curious?" Then take a look at the portraits displayed in this villa, it is not uncommon to inherit from generation to generation. ”

"Captain Hollens, you're a distant relative of Mr. Fang, right? Judging by the similarity of physiognomy, it is likely that the grandfather's generation is a branch. Mr. Fang has no other relatives, and after his death, all the property will be inherited by you. In your hands, you have the key evidence that can prove your identity. Admit it or not, and when we leave the island, let the police search your quarters. ”

The captain took a step back and looked at the Chief Justice in horror, as if looking at a demon.

Xiao Yan found that Sonya's eyes widened, and with her familiarity with Mr. Fang's family, she didn't expect this possibility.

"As for the evidence, the evidence is sufficient." The Chief Justice shook his head slightly, "There are no other murderers on this island, and the search after the arrival of the police tomorrow will prove it, in this case, the time of the crime when you left the living room, the reason why Mr. Fang took the initiative to open the door of the master bedroom, and the relationship between you and him are enough to form a perfect logical chain." ”

No, it's not! There are other beings on this island...... Xiao Yan knew very well that the creature that had been hiding in the underground power distribution room was real, although he didn't know how it disappeared, and he wasn't sure what it had to do with the death of the maid and the consul couple, but its existence was a conclusive fact.

"You're the prisoner, Captain Holness!"

The sound of intimidation was like thunder, and it startled everyone. The captain took a few steps back and sat down on the ground, trembling all over.

【. rd=9/40, force the will judgment, successful. 】

[Your strong will resisted the coercion of the justice, and did not fall into chaos. 】

What is it? Skill? Xiao Yan found that not far away, the eyes of Alice and Uncle Li were scattered, and they had obviously lost their ability to control themselves. Sonia and Xiuli were also obviously mentally shocked, and their breathing became rapid, but they did not fall into confusion.

"Ah~ah......" Captain Holliens grabbed his handsome face with his nails, digging out blood marks, and a stench came from his lower body, and he was incontinent because of this threat!

[Do you want to use psionic energy to make an anthropological judgment, it's very useful!] Minos said suddenly.

"Xiao Yan!" There was a vain sound of dice falling to the ground, and Sonia grabbed Xiao Yan's arm, "My inspiration made an anthropological judgment on the captain...... He's starting to be converted! ”

What is an anthropological determination? Transform what? Xiao Yan hadn't figured it out yet, only to see Miss Xiu escape from the master bedroom.

The shadow of Captain Holness in the light suddenly enveloped his body as if it had come to life, his skin began to show black traces like corpse spots, his limbs became unusually thick, and huge ram horns appeared on both sides of his head, which in the blink of an eye no longer resembled a human form.

"What is this!?" Xiao Yan grabbed the nearby Alice and pulled him back, blocking Sonya at the same time.

The captain's body twisted, and he stretched out his claws and tore Uncle Li's neck with a single blow. The butler's throat spurted out a large amount of blood, and he fell to the ground with a pop.

"Oh~ that's how it looks, no wonder you're able to kill multiple victims this way." The Chancellor seemed to look at the changing captain with interest.

"You guys run first!" Xiao Yan held a sword in his hand, covering Sonia and taking Elith to escape downstairs.

The black image manipulated the marionette to pull Captain Holness up and lunge towards the judge.

"What kind of ability is this??" Xiao Yan swiftly swung his sword and slashed towards the shadow-wrapped captain.

The captain stretched out his hand to block the sword, and at the same time smashed his fist towards Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was hit hard in the front and hurriedly retreated two steps in a row.

"It's very powerful!" Xiao Yan sighed in his heart. Although his power in this world was suppressed, the fact that this blow just now could slightly repel him also showed that it was indeed a mortal threat to ordinary people.

The claws of the shadow were clawed at the Archjudge, threatening to take his life in the next moment.

The Chief Justice sat on the couch and watched the terrifying monster come at him, muttering words in his mouth.

"Shhh The shadow suddenly rolled on the ground with his head in his hands, and his original powerful momentum was gone.

"I, Honour Gilbertson, Chief Justice of the High Court, Viscount Southampton, order you." The Chief Justice stood up, exuding a momentum as if he were a mountain, "Stand down, evil spirit!" ”

Under the weight of this momentum, the shadow rushed to the window like a headless fly, shattering the glass and jumping out.

"This ...... What is it? Xiao Yan didn't react from the shock at all, and at the same time looked at the judge vigilantly.

"Young man, this is the ethereal spirit, the existence between the virtual body and the entity condensed by the spiritual energy in the living body, the power attached to the human being. Humans who have mastered this ability are known as ethereal messengers. A strange smile flashed in the Chancellor's eyes, "The Captain's ethereal ability is specifically the ability of the shadow to manipulate his body to move, gaining strength and speed. It's just that he is completely at the mercy of the shadows, and will continue to kill without stopping until all living beings are destroyed. ”

"I'm not young anymore," said the judge slowly, "but you should have the strength to deal with him." Go ahead and defeat the young ladies before they are attacked. ”

Xiao Yan reluctantly jumped out of the window and chased after the captain.

In the darkness, Captain Hollens turned pitch black, like a ram walking upright, with blood-red eyes, searching the courtyard for a target to kill.

"Whew!" The monster pounced on Xiao Yan as soon as it saw it, swinging a heavy fist and smashing it into the opponent's head.

Xiao Yan raised his left hand to resist it, and at the same time stabbed it with his sword. The blow just now made Xiao Yan find that the opponent's strength did not overwhelm him, so he was relieved to engage it head-on.

The sword pierced the monster's skin, but it didn't have time to penetrate before it got stuck in the muscles. The ram monster gripped the blade with lightning and snapped it in half.

"Oh~ It's hard!" Xiao Yan let go of the weapon with his right hand and shook it in the air. The monster immediately struggled as if it had been caught in the throat with a noose, its face turned purple, and its eyes protruded as if they were about to burst.

"Whoa!" The mutated captain let out a strange roar, similar to but not exactly the same as the voice Xiao Yan heard in the basement.

Xiao Yan even felt fear and the idea of asking for help.

【. rd=39/(40+15), which forces a reconnaissance judgment, and because the fluctuations of psionic energy are too strong, you get an additional bonus in this judgment, and it is successful. 】

[In the darkness not far away, it seems that a powerful psionic energy has begun to manifest a twisted and terrifying entity. 】

Xiao Yan's gaze turned slightly, but the suffocation in his hand did not relax.

"Click~" With a soft sound, the captain's neck was broken and he collapsed limply.

"Why, do you want to try it too?" Xiao Yan, who had killed Captain Hollens, turned around and faced the creature slowly forming in the darkness, "Very good, I'm curious about you. ”

With the captain's death, the figurative form disintegrated on the spot as if it had been hit head-on, shattering like a pile of sand washed by the sea.

"Cut, I actually coaxed ......"

The torrential rain and thunder and lightning gradually subsided with the death of Hao Liansi, and at the same time, Xiao Yan vaguely sensed that a gate seemed to be closed.
