Mirror Connection, Mirror Reverse Side

In a man's mortuary, this is a very serious problem.

Icarus glanced at the beauty and walked straight into the room, he stepped on the cold wooden floor, bypassed the blood droplets that had solidified on the ground, walked into the study, got closer, and saw the corpse - it was a man of forty or fifty years old, a little fat, with his chest down on the ground, and the blood on the ground had congealed. Icarus looked around and found that there was a bookshelf on the left side of the study and an antique shelf on the right, and the things on both shelves were neatly arranged, but only the documents placed on the table facing the deceased were slightly messy, as if someone had taken something from the pile of documents in a panic. The messy table top doesn't fit in with the rest of the office's neat furnishings.

Icarus walked over to his desk, his sharp golden eyes down, and his slender fingers casually flipped through the remaining papers.

"Oh, the opening of the game is kind of interesting."

Lorraine turned her head and looked at the beauty who was standing in the corridor in a daze: "What's going on?" ”

“…… I do not know. The beauty shrugged, she was no less confused than theirs.

After all, she had just woken up, and as soon as she woke up, she heard their knock on the door, and then saw the corpses in the room.

To be honest, she couldn't even figure out where she was right now.

"You can't commit a crime [in a safe state]." Lorraine said righteously.

"Hey, Miss, you're not a police officer, don't talk to me in such a tone." The beauty looked at Lorraine in displeasure.

She doesn't like to be looked at like this, like she made some mistake that can't be hidden, and she is suddenly exposed to the spotlight and has nothing to hide.

"The man is dead, and the traditional basis for inferring the time of death is mainly cadaver phenomena such as mortis, corpse spots, corpse temperature, etc. Mortis usually occurs 1~3 hours after death, and mortis first appears on the face and eye muscles, and slowly spreads to the upper and lower limbs of the trunk. After 12 hours, the corpse is completely dead. After about 6 hours, the mortis began to ease, and the corpse recovered and softened. Judging from the current condition of the corpse, it has been more than 6 hours since it died......" Icarus stood up and looked at the beauty with his hands in his pockets, "In view of the well-known rules of the game, you can't kill people in [Safe State], Beauty, we have reason to believe that this man's death is related to you." ”

The beauty retorted: "You also said, you can't kill people in [safe state], how can I be a murderer?!" ”

"I didn't say you were, I just said it had something to do with you." Icarus corrected unhurriedly, "For example, your game is set up to be a murderer, and even if you haven't done it, it's your original sin. ”

Original sin.

Born with a sin.

It's a very heavy word.

The beauty stared at Icarus, her eyes full of wariness.

She was silent for a while, and the corners of her mouth raised a sarcastic arc: "Oh, yes, it seems that you enjoy the identity of 'policeman' very much." ”

Icarus smiled without saying a word, and as soon as he raised his hand, Lorraine understood, turned and walked up the stairs.

They began their usual on-site investigation to see if there were any other criminal accomplices in the house.

The beauty hears Lorraine step up the "squeaky" stairs and make her way to the second floor.

After some searching, Lorraine walked down with a few pieces of clothing.

"Found something, bloody clothing." Lorraine said, holding a bloody T-shirt and pants on display, and looked up at Icarus, "And there is no one else on the second floor, she is the only one in the whole house, and she is very suspicious." ”

Icarus looked at the beauty silently, with a "look" expression.

The beauty rolled her eyes and muttered, "The setting of the [Minghe System] is really getting more and more disgusting. ”

It's not good to find anyone, but to find her as the person of this setting.

Icarus glanced at Lorraine, who understood, and she pressed the beauty, twisting her hand behind her back and pressing her cheek against the wall.

"What do you say......" Icarus raised his hand and gracefully adjusted the cufflinks, "I think the setting is quite interesting this time, and the identity of 'policeman' seems to be tailor-made for me. ”、

"Let go of me!!" The beauty struggled, but Lorraine twisted her arm so hard that it made her arm ache.

Icarus walked over to the two of them, took the blood-stained clothes from Lorraine's hands, and looked at them carefully: "Hmm...... Bust, waist, hips are all like your size. ”

“…… Don't say you know me well! ”

"Observant, ma'am." Icarus pointed to his eyes, "This is a must-have ability for a good police officer. ”

"Hmph, you're just a thief, you're black like me." The beauty took a sip.

When Icarus heard this, he restrained his smile and his expression became a little colder.

He raised his leg and walked towards the front door with the incriminating evidence: "Madam, please follow us back to the police station to assist in the investigation." ”

Lorraine relaxed a little and escorted the beauty to the front door: "Let's go." ”

"Let go!" The beauty broke free of Lorraine and glared at her, "I can walk by myself." ”

Lorraine raised an eyebrow and raised her hand to signal her to go first.

She seems to be really suited to the role of a police officer, and she also knows that the escort of prisoners should be carried out one after the other, and the personnel behind the palace should prevent the suspect from escaping.

Lorraine straightened her police uniform, only to think that she seemed to have done something like this before.

is not an ordinary policeman who played in the [Upper Circle Killing Battle], but in the depths of her memory, she vaguely remembers some police codes of conduct and regulations, and what she was familiar with before, turned into subconscious actions, so that even if she lost her memory, she was able to follow her instincts and avoid mistakes.

The beauty angrily followed Icarus and walked out the front door, looking at the police car listening in front of house 92.

Icarus opened the door in the back seat of the police car for her with a bit of gentlemanly demeanor.

She took a slight step back, instinctively fearing the police car as a criminal, but Lorraine behind her held a gun to her waist, leaving her unstoppable.

"Please." Lorraine whispered in the beauty's ear.

“…… Do you think you can control me? The beauty muttered.

"What?"

Before Lorraine could react, the beauty grabbed Lorraine's wrist and threw her on the steps with a backhand, dodging the pistol while Lorraine was weak, and Icarus in front of him also pulled out a matching gun, but the beauty shot him in the leg before him, Icarus flashed to the side and hid behind the police car, the beauty fired a few more shots at the police car, Icarus was shot in the leg, restricting his movement, he used the police car as a cover, fired a few shots at the beauty, and Lorraine on the side hurriedly hid behind the trunk to prevent being injured by stray bullets. Beauty fired a few more shots back, and the NPC passers-by were disturbed by the shootout and fled in all directions, and Beauty took advantage of the chaos to blend in with the crowd and fled along Lexington Avenue.

Lorraine hurriedly took out the walkie-talkie in the car: "Hey, I'm Lorraine, the suspect has escaped now, and is heading in the direction of Central Park, asking for assistance in arresting." ”

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Lorraine hurried to Icarus's side, holding his body, anxiously looking at his pants with blood-stained legs.

"Hey...... Are you okay?! ”

"It's fine. Chase after her, don't let her escape. Icarus nudged her with a gloomy face.

Lorraine was pushed by Icarus a few times, she looked back at Icarus, feeling that a wounded colleague was a little unbearable, but the nature of the police told her that she could not let the suspect escape.

"That'...... You're here for backup, and I'll go chase her back!" ”

"Hmm."

Icarus limped to the stairs and watched Lorraine get into the police car, which had gone backwards for some distance and drove out in a sharp turn.

Icarus stood still until the police car was far away, then straightened up and patted his leg as if he were no longer pretending.

It turned out that he was not shot.

The blood was secretly smeared on his fingers when he was inspecting the corpse just now, and just now he just imitated the action of being shot by a gun, and smeared the blood on his pants again.

Watching the police car move away, Icarus straightened his clothes and hat, and the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic smile.

"Police? It's just a yellow-haired girl, and you really think you can be a good policeman? ”

He muttered and walked back to the house at 92 Lexington Avenue.

Stepping on the wooden floor, he went to the study alone.

Looking around the study, his gaze fell on the antique shelves in the study.

In fact, from the moment he stepped into the study just now, he found a sense of incongruity in the study.

The reason why he wanted to pretend to take the beauty away, and deliberately let her go, was just to transfer the two people next to him.

He wanted to see what the system was playing with him.

"The books and antique vases in the room are neatly arranged, it can be seen that the deceased is an obsessive-compulsive person......" he muttered, step by step, towards the antique shelf, "but these vases and books are full of dust, it can be seen that the deceased did not touch those things, but ......"

His gaze fell on a white porcelain vase with two ears.

That vase, which is obviously different from other antiques, has a clean body and is free of any dust.

"Details ......"

As he spoke, he grasped the amphora white porcelain vase.

Gently turning the white porcelain vase in a clockwise direction, "Gala Gla ......", the mechanism behind the antique shelf was activated, the antique shelf slowly turned around, and he saw that on the other side of the wall, there was a ......

Mirror Connection: Mirror Front

Let's rewind the time point to a few minutes ago, the world on the other side of the mirror......

When J pushes open the front door, he sees the body of a man lying in the study at the end of the hallway.

He glanced at the Duke and saw that the other party also had a shocked expression.

J walked up to the room, avoiding the frozen drops of blood on the floor, and walked to the study.

"Sir? Mr? Are you okay? He crouched down and patted the man lying on the ground.

The man didn't move.

J probed his snort and carotid artery with two fingers to confirm that the man was dead and cold.

“…… He's dead? The Duke stood at the door of the study, looking at J's back suspiciously.

"Hmm." J lowered his head, touched the corpse, felt the stiffness of the corpse, and lifted the deceased's clothes again, wanting to see the corpse spots, "The corpse has passed the time when the corpse was first stiffened, and now the muscles are a little soft, which means that the time of death should be more than 6 hours." The deceased was facing down in the chest, with blood under his body and a bullet hole in his left back, and the cause of death was believed to have been shot through the heart from behind. ”

J lowered his head again and took a closer look at the corpse's neck: "The corpse has a scratch on its neck, as if it was wounded by a knife, and it has cut the artery, causing those dripping blood stains on the floor. ”

When the Duke heard this, he looked at the droplets of blood that had spread from the living room to the study at his feet.

"The shape of the blood droplets is narrow in front and wide in the back, which shows that these blood droplets were dripped when the deceased was walking or even running, that is, the deceased was probably chased and killed by someone at that time......" J carefully examined the body of the strange man, "The deceased had bruises on his neck, it seems that he had fought with someone before his death, he probably had an argument with someone, and then the man wounded him with a knife, and he fled to the study and was shot from behind." ”

J word by word, speculation is reasonable.

He was like a seasoned sheriff, and no clue of the scene could escape his eyes.

J stood up and looked around the study: "It's strange why did the deceased flee to the study?" On the other side of the corridor is the front door, so if you go to the front door, you might be able to escape......"

"Will you be coerced?" The duke put forward this hypothesis.

Stress?

J's eyes looked at the pile of papers on the table, which were scattered on the table as if they had been rummaged through.

He walked over to his desk and flipped through the papers, most of which were related to financial stocks, and there were no strange things.

But......

"There's a part of this document missing." He muttered.

"Missing?" The Duke tilted his head in confusion.

J flipped through a folder in his hand: "The thickness of this folder was fixed, but the documents inside were not that thick, so it can be seen that some of the files have been taken away." ”

“…… That is, the murderer took the deceased hostage to the study, forced him to find the document, and shot him? ”

"I don't rule it out."

"But what are the documents that were taken?" The Duke muttered.

“……”

J stared at her and didn't speak again.

The scene of this crime is full of suspicions, the man who died inexplicably, and the desk that was messed up......

But the most suspicious thing is the woman who appeared in house 92 from the beginning.

You must know that she is also a criminal who has committed a heinous crime, otherwise it is impossible to be sent to the [Minghe System].

In the deathly silence, the Duke sensed that something was wrong, and she raised her head to meet J's eyes.

“…… Why are you looking at me like that? ”

J's eyes made her feel uncomfortable, just like the look she faced when she was tortured by the police in an interrogation room.

"You're the only one in this house?"

“…… Should be. ”

"Don't you want to defend something?"

"You mean I killed this man?"

“……”

"Officer, it's [safe] now, no one can commit a crime, that's the rules of the game." The Duke frowned.

"But what if it's a game setting, for example, you're a murderer from the beginning, and my identity is a police officer who captures you." J said word for word, his hand reaching for the gun at his waist.

THIS ACTION WAS NATURALLY NOTICED BY THE DUKE, SHE RAISED HER HAND AND STABILIZED J: "OK, OK, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN, IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE FOR YOU TO THINK SO." What do you need me to do? ”

“…… Come with me to the police station to assist in the investigation. ”

"What if I refuse." The Duke lowered his voice.

"Then don't blame me for 'violent law enforcement.'" J said and pulled out his pistol.

At this moment, Ogar, who had been staying outside the door, walked in.

"Uncle J, are you alright? I've been waiting outside for a long time......"

Before Ogar could finish speaking, she was suddenly grabbed by the duke, she held the seven-year-old girl in front of her body, blocked the muzzle of J's gun at her, and choked Ogar's throat with the other hand, Ogar's hat fell sharply at her feet, and she helplessly grabbed the duke's arm, and she didn't react for a while.

"Duke, Duke's sister?!"

The Duke stepped up his efforts, and Ogar was pinched by her for a while.

"Duke! Let her go! She's just a kid! ”

"Oh? What do I think of her in a police uniform? Is it a little cop? Or the Boy Scouts? The Duke muttered, holding Augar hostage, and retreated to the front door.

"Duke, you have now constituted a 'police attack', you don't want to add to the crime." J approached the Duke step by step, and the two of them moved towards the door little by little.

Suddenly, the Duke shoved Augar forward and ran towards the door.

J hurriedly lowered his body to support Ogar, who almost fell, and looked up, the duke was already dying.

"Oops." He ran out of the door with a gun, only to see NPCs walking along the street, people coming and going, and the duke's voice was long gone.

In order to prevent the citizens from panicking, he put away his gun, hurriedly opened the door of the police car, and found the walkie-talkie in the police car.

"Hey, I'm J, I'm at 92 Lexington Avenue, the suspect is the Duke, she's on the run, ask for support, ask for support."

At this time.
