11-1 [World A: Dawn Halberd Perspective]

December 28th.

Officer Zhang's home.

Nayuki is enjoying the strawberry cake with a happy face.

"Sir, Broken Halberd classmate, you can eat some too."

Officer Zhang said, I nodded and thanked him, and took the cake.

"I have an idea, I don't know what to do."

I deliberately raised my voice and said.

"Oh? Be all ears? ”

Officer Mountain pretended to say that this was naturally our collusion.

"We can start with the blue and white sneakers and arrest Huang Xiyu, and if we are lucky, we may be able to find out the spirit of thought together."

I said in front of Officer Zhang.

"Blue and white...... Sneakers, the last thing you looked for without success? ”

Officer Mountain said.

"Ah—in my humble opinion, those shoes are not pure."

"How so?"

"You think, the murderer's whole body is tightly wrapped in black, why did he choose a pair of blue and white sneakers on the soles of his feet, this is too abrupt."

"That's right."

"He must have some kind of effect, I don't know what it is, but we can at least guess it works."

"So what's this?"

"Useful things – they don't get thrown away easily. But I don't think the killer will swagger out. ”

"Why?"

“……”

Officer Mountain is not very good as a compliment, and when he said this, I suddenly didn't know how to continue making it up.

"Uh...... In my humble opinion......"

"After all, it's something used in a murder, so I don't think I'll continue to wear it psychologically."

Then why did I wear it at the time of the crime, I feel like I've already had a conversation.

"Makes sense."

Officer Mountain nodded.

Where does it make sense...... But thanks to his approval, I was able to continue the compilation:

"According to my guess, the murderer probably hid it."

"Oh?"

"If we can find where the sneakers are hidden, we might be able to find her."

"What should I do?"

"Use my abilities to see the future."

“……”

Officer Mountain nodded meaningfully.

"You have investigated me in great detail, but you don't know that the ability to predict the future is not so simple."

It's that simple.

"How easy is it?"

"I can predict where what I'm going to look for is."

"Is it so powerful?"

Of course I can't do that, I made it up.

"As long as I want to look for something, think back to the image of that thing, I can perceive it, and in a sense this is a kind of future."

Then why didn't I look for it earlier, where is this a kind of future, open my eyes and talk nonsense.

I spit out my own groove in my heart, and it can be regarded as quite joyful.

"Ahh

Officer Mountain clapped his hands.

"I think your proposal is very constructive, and I will immediately go back to contact the police station and set a time."

"I think January 31 is the best."

"Why?"

"Because I didn't have classes that day."

Hearing me say this, Officer Shan and Officer Zhang both burst out laughing.

So, starting on the 28th, I would hide next to Officer Zhang's house every night, and as long as Officer Shan told me that Officer Zhang was off work, I would run here non-stop.

"It's really a physical job."

And I'm the only one.

Even if I could predict the future, I would essentially be just an ordinary college student. Even if I'm on the streets, I know a little bit of martial arts, and I want to beat the police officers one-on-one. It's too hard for me.

Today is the 30th.

There are hoes and shovels in the backyard of Zhang Manai's house.

"It's so slow......"

I muttered.

Officer Zhang returned home about 1 hour ago.

So far, there has been no response.

Could it be that you are aware of my plans?

Officer Mountain and I concocted a trumped-up 'operation' – looking for blue and white sneakers.

The purpose is to force Zhang Manai out.

This is the first time I have tried to squat, and it is not pleasant at all, but I can now appreciate the hard work of the criminal investigation police, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

The time for the unwarranted 'action' is tomorrow, the morning of January 31, and if he wants to act early, it will only be tonight.

I brought the WEA-2 headphones developed by the 'Hong Kong Club', which Xiao Ning gave me. It can record and transmit sound in real time, and emit reverse radio waves around the wearer to achieve the effect of noise reduction. Not only that, but it can also emit confusing light waves, creating blind spots in the field of vision and reducing one's sense of presence. It's a tracking artifact.

HK Club...... Technology is amazing.

I exclaimed.

It's early in the morning.

Zhang Manai's home is also a suburb, located in the north of Qianshan, and there are not many people nearby.

So in the early hours of the morning, it was dark, so to speak.

At the same time, the city center is still expected to be filled with bustling people.

"Ah......h

I frowned, as if I heard the door closing.

After a while, Zhang Manai dressed in gray clothes mysteriously came to the backyard and packed the hoe and shovel into a long bag.

“……”

I followed behind him, always keeping a distance.

Can't it be discovered like last time-

Zhang Manai first walked along the road for about three kilometers before jumping off the field.

Do you want to jump......

Looking at my pants, I wasn't too willing to step on the mud.

After Zhang Manai walked away, I also jumped down with a stiff brow. Then make a quick move in the direction he walked.

Hopefully, the WEA-2 formula will play its part.

Passing through the farmland, there is a mountain in front of you. Zhang Manai climbed effortlessly into the mountains.

“……”

As a police officer, looking at the almost 90-degree mountain wall, I had no confidence to climb it at all.

But, don't underestimate me—

I'm not that bad.

Rock climbing, the biggest obstacle is actually fear, because of fear and softness, because of fear and missed opportunities, for me, I don't know why, I have rarely felt fear in my life. Rather, in my memory, I have never refused a thing because I was afraid, even in the face of the spirit of mind.

People like me should die early.

I laughed at myself and said, people who are not afraid of death, maybe they don't know when they will die in a daze-

A few minutes later, I climbed up the mountain, and it was pitch black - I couldn't see anything.

I took out the WES-1 glasses from my pocket, one of the functions of the glasses is night vision. In addition to this, it can guide, zoom in, and scan thermal sensing maps.

Got it.

After a while, I discovered the [separate] heat source from the heat sensing map.

I chased after it, and ten minutes later, I came to an unfinished chair grave.

“……”

I hid behind a tree and videotaped in WES-1 style.

Zhang Manai took out a shovel and hoe and dug into a small area far from the grave.

After five minutes, he stopped.

It should be about the same.

I tapped on the WEA-2 and transmitted the signal.

"Don't move—police."

Suddenly, six men dressed in black rushed out of the woods, including Officer Mt. Mountain.

“……”

All six were wearing WEA-2 styles and holding police flashlights in their hands.

Zhang Manai turned his head in shock, and the light shone on his hand, which was holding something like a snakeskin bag.

One policeman rushed up and held him down, and another snatched the snakeskin bag.

[A pair of bloodstained blue and white sneakers are taken out of it.] 】

"You ......"

Zhang Manai said weakly.

"It's a trap—"

He said with a sneer.

"That kid came up with it."

"Ahh

"I'm worried that if it's true, it will be bad. - I'm always going to be exposed, anyway. ”

He shook his head and said in embarrassment.

"This chair grave......

"This is my wife's grave, but it hasn't been finished yet. ”】

Zhang Manai lowered his head and said.

"Wife ......"

A policeman said in astonishment, maybe he was Zhang Manai at the same time.

In Zhang Manai's living room, there is a bookshelf that has nothing on it, it is empty, but the cabinet under the bookshelf is locked. The other day, I had gotten permission from the Mountain Police to sneak into his house and observe through the cracks that there was something inside.

The incense burner, the urn, the black-and-white photograph, the lantern used to place the krathong – all point to the same result.

This was supposed to be something on the altar.

"My wife, she passed away last month."

“……”

Everyone present was silent.

"She graduated from Qianshan University of Economics, and she is an alumnus of the yellow-haired teenager."

He said.

I hid in the shadows and was silent.

Humiliated by her former boss, she quit her job and recently traveled from place to place in search of work. - I came to the bank, but I was told that the recruitment period had ended, and five people had already entered the final round of applications. So she got out of there. ”

“……”

"But at this point, she ran into [that guy], the scumbag who called himself the HR manager."

Zhang Manai's voice was full of anger, and his body trembled with anger.

"He fell in love with her and planned to give her this position."

“……”

"However, there are a lot of [very low] demands."

“……”

"Outrageous to the point of being outrageous – still coercing and harassing her after being rejected."

“……”

"I used to call the police on a personal basis, but it didn't work."

“……”

"Maybe he has a backstage, or maybe he has other means – justice can't punish him."

“……”

"For the first time, I felt so powerless, even if I became a police officer, I couldn't do anything."

“……”

"I asked my wife to hide for a while, but every time, he would find us, like he was holding a telescope, and he could find us wherever we were."

“……”

"I made up my mind to quit my job and leave Sensugi City with my wife – but just a few days before I decided to quit...... It was one night, and I was working overtime. I got a phone call, a call from my wife crying and scared—"

“…… OK. ”

Looking at him with his fingers cracking, Officer Mountain motioned for him to stop.

"How did you find here?"

Zhang Manai said.

"The little boy found out about this, you must not be able to build such a chair tomb by yourself, as long as you find a merchant who sells you stone, you can also find a worker to build this thing."

"I didn't expect me to be so useless in the eyes of the police officer."

"No, you're a very hard-working, dedicated subordinate. But—now we are going to arrest you for homicide. As a suspect in the shooting of the Qianshan Bank branch on Ping'an Road in the West District on December 4. ”

"Hmph, I really underestimated that boy—"

Zhang Manai sneered.

"That day, when I passed him in front of the bank, I felt that he was not simple."

"Next, you should tell us what happened."

I stepped out of the shadows and turned off the WEA-2 style.

"By what means did you forge the bloodstains?"

"I didn't fake the bloodstains."

"Don't lie, just investigate the blood stains on these sneakers and everything will be revealed."

"Then go and investigate, the results you get must be the same as before, and the bloodstains on it don't belong to anyone."

"What do you mean? So why are you coming back to pick up these sneakers. ”

"Because this is what my wife has predestined for me, and it is the last thing she left for me. I don't want him to fall into the wrong hands. I just wore her to shoot that scumbag, just to show my anger and grief. ”

“……”

None of this can be explained.

Officer Mountain also sensed that something was wrong.

"Take off his clothes—"

Officer Mountain ordered.

"Yes."

The officers immediately took off Zhang Manai's clothes.

["No...... There are no knife marks. ”】

Officer Mountain said in surprise.

"You guys...... Why do you have to believe the girl's words? ”

"What do you mean...... You say Kawanayuki? ”

["At the time of the crime, the girl did not stab me at all. ”】

“？！”

I couldn't help but be surprised.

["What she said was false, there was no fruit knife at all, and she didn't leave a knife mark on me. ”】

"You ......"

"I thought I was going to be found out soon, but I didn't expect you all to be taken to the pit by her. It's hilarious hahaha......"

He laughed mockingly.

"How is that possible—whose is that other puddle of blood?"

I yelled anxiously.

"I'll tell you something that shocks you even more—"

Then he said something even more unbelievable.

["At that time, I shot and hit, and I wasn't even the only one who shot Kawanayuki-"]
