"Then again, I feel like the killer is getting crazier and crazier." Camilla, who was on a horse, looked at the report as she looked at her hand: "He has killed four victims in the course of a week, and two of them look exactly like accidents." ”

"It's true that there is no non-accident factor at all, but some sequences do have such abilities, so we can only estimate that Lady Oriel Caton, as a Ladder Three Illusionist of the Pretender sequence, I can't imagine how she died in the alley because she was too close to the defense family and lost her guard?" Beside him, Colin, who was also riding a horse, frowned and said, "What a hell, my old friend, can you imagine an illusionist dying at the muzzle of a long-barreled musket?" ”

"Before today, I wouldn't have believed it at all, but she's just an illusionist after all, and if it were you or me, and a bullet through the head, there's a chance to survive - all it takes is one shot to heal a fatal wound." After Camila finished speaking, she turned her head to look at the other side of the intersection: "Hey, isn't that Marin and his girlfriends?" ”

"Ah, how could they be here?" Curious, Colin rode up behind the boys, "Hey, Marlin, and the girls, what are you doing?" ”

"We have something to do, and we're going to the city hall." Marin gave such an answer.

"Okay, busy man, be careful all the way, it's not been peaceful in the city lately." Colin nodded, and he prepared to ride away.

"By the way, Colin, where are you and Mr. Camilla going?" Marin turned into Mr. Curious at this moment, and Colin felt that there was nothing to hide from his question: "Let's go to meet Mr. Michel, their family is also a high-risk family now, and we are all thinking about whether to give Mr. Michelle and his sister a little bit of protection." ”

“…… It was a good idea and we went. Marin smiled and nodded, then turned and left with his girls.

"What a busy man." Camilla came on horseback.

"A busy person who can earn 100,000 yuan a month is really incomparable." Colin smiled and shook his head: "Then again, the canned food they make is really delicious. ”

"I think it's convenient, the Church of Justice's Substitute Punisher troops have already started ordering." Camila said as she continued with her old friend: "By the way, I just saw Marin, which reminded me of one thing, didn't this kid say that he doubted Mr. Michel before, why did he think so." ”

"The child has a dream of a detective, I think it's quite normal, Michelle's leg is still injured, I don't think he should be a murderer, who can limp up to the top of the bell tower and kill him, and run away before the police arrive." Colin looked at his old friend and complained.

"It's clear that Mr. Michelle can't fly." At this point, Camila smiled, then put away her smile: "Okay, we're almost there, old friend, should we express comfort appropriately." ”

"I think it's okay, after all, his leg isn't good yet." Colin nodded: "By the way, his sister's name is Sheila, a very cute girl, and it is said that she is in love." “

"Ah, I smell the sour smell of love...... Mr. Camilla turned his head to look at Colin when he heard this, "just like you." ”

"Huh." Colin rolled his eyes.

………………

"They didn't suspect Mr. Michelle." Faye said in Marin's ear.

In this regard, Marin had already predicted: "In Mr. Michel's current situation, it really doesn't look like a murderer, but like a victim who is ready at a time, I can't confirm whether his sequence and ladder are real now, I remember that Colin said that he only had ladder eight, but I can't believe that he really only has ladder eight, if the murderer is someone else, why not kill him, if the murderer is himself, then how powerful he is." ”

This is simply a paradox.

"We can't confirm whether the murderer is him or not, all this is just our hypothesis, if we can confirm that the murderer is repeating the order of death of the Michel family in a vengeful way, then it can only be assumed that this murderer is suspected of imitating murder, and it may also be a sacrifice to please the evil god." Marin looked at Faye: "But if we want to be convicted, then with the evidence we have now, it is impossible to prove that Mr. Michelle is guilty." ”

“…… How nice it would be if I were Sherlock Holmes. Faye sighed.

And Marin smiled and reached out and rubbed Faye's head: "It's a pity that there is no one in this world, since this murderer dares to kill people in this way, he must have his hole cards, so we must be careful, and then be careful, if we can't confirm the safety when obtaining evidence, we would rather tell the police officers or Colin about this matter, safety comes first in everything, we don't have enough strength to fight against a murderer who is likely to have a high level of strength." ”

"I understand, Marlin, I'm not going to put everyone's safety at risk." Faye nodded vigorously.

This assurance reassures Marin at last: "Then our first goal now is to go to the town hall, and we have to make sure that every death is not a confirmed accident, and if we can affirm and confirm this, we will tell the officers directly, sometimes it is easier to avoid risk than to abandon others as a last resort." ”

"I see, Marin, don't worry, we'll protect ourselves." Jessica said with a smile.

Marin smiled - now he was very conflicted, because Marin was afraid, if it was confirmed that the murders in recent years were similar to the previous murders of the Michelle family, it meant that it was very likely that this was a parody of the crime, and it was even very likely that it was a sacrifice to please the evil gods, such an answer would be absolutely fatal to Marin and them, and if things came to this point, it would be all Marin and them had to do to remove themselves from this incident.

"Mr. Marin, what are we going to do if we confirm that there are similarities between the two rounds of murders." Cross asked, walking up to Marin.

"Tell Colin about it now." Marin and Faye immediately said in unison.

"I second." Lilim nodded: "The murderer who can do this is definitely not just an ordinary imitation crime, he must have a plan, we must stop this from happening, otherwise that murderer may bring disaster to this world." ”

"It's terrible, they obviously have a healthy body, why would they want to destroy this world." Cross said a little unhappily, her self-talk silenced Marin - yes, even if Cross was made to be like this by fate, her heart was not twisted into this, she only questioned herself in pain.

Because of this, Marin thought of saving her from the sea of suffering.

Thinking of this, Marin stroked Cross's head and pushed her ears back to the back of her head: "Cross's body is also very good, in my eyes, your heart is dazzlingly healthy." ”

The bunny girl was surprised for a moment, then blushed, looking at her completely unable to move, Marin smiled and reached out to hold her: "Let's go to the city hall, hearing is false, seeing is believing, isn't it." ”

"Yes, may the goddess of fate have mercy." Faye smiled at this.

………………

Despite Faye's words, with Marin's memory, he quickly found five similar murders in the file, and other girls also found them, including three for Lilim, one for Jessica, seven for Cross and Faye, and four for Maya.

There were twenty similar murders, and Marlin only felt his scalp tingle.

And they also found a feature, if the murders and accidents of the Michel family are ranked from the first victim to the last victim on a scale of 1 to 24, then the twenty murders and accidents in recent years are completely consistent with the reverse ranking of 24 to 5.

The murderer starts from the last time, in a perfect reproduction of murders and accidents again and again.

The 24th accident of the Michel family was the accident in which Mr. Michel's father fell to his death, and before Marin came into this world, an old man from a noble family also fell from the roof of the building, and the case was also closed by accident.

The two children of the Domingo family, the 17th and 16th, corresponding, are twin twins of the Michel family, who were also killed in the alleys and crowds, and it is completely impossible to identify the killers.

The two princes of the Morves escaped assassination, but Marin found their replacement - just three days after the incident, two children of a nobleman died in an assassination that was approached from behind, followed by a clean assassination in which the murderer's actions met with little resistance, just like the brothers of the Michel family...... Their numbers are 14th and 13th.

Logan's three cousins are the 9th, 8th, and 7th, corresponding to the three youngest sons of the Michel family's grandfather, and the 9th died from the misfire of the revolver in his hand, which is considered an accident; The 8th person who died from a backkick from an out-of-control pack horse with a precise hit to the head was considered an accident; The 7th person rolled down the stairs and rolled from the second floor to the first floor under the gaze of almost the whole class, and directly broke his neck; It is also considered an accident.

"It's horrible." Faye covered his mouth, "It's more than we imagined, Marin. ”

"Yes, if the worst is arranged, and there are four more victims, this sacrifice is complete, and we must tell Mr. Colin." Cross was stunned for a moment, "Wait a minute, Mr. Colin said where he's going." ”

"Mr. Michelle's house...... Oh my God, will it be dangerous! "Jessica is all fried.

"No, Mr. Colin will be fine, whether Mr. Michelle is a murderer or not, Mr. Colin will be fine, because if I were a murderer, I would never have been a murderer when the sacrifice was about to be completed, and there were four victims, and the victim had to be a nobleman, and Mr. Colin was a priest or an orphan, and the chances of him being chosen by the murderer were equal to zero." Marin looked at the girls and said.

This is the point that Marin confirmed after looking at the comparison of these twenty cases.

And his opinion was affirmed by Faye and Cross, both of whom were mages and had sharp minds, and in this respect were far more advantageous than the other three girls who ate on their bodies.

"What about the gentleman who was with Mr. Colin." Cross didn't know Camilla, but Faye knew: "That's Mr. Camilla, it's okay, he's a paladin of the Church of Justice, a good man who dedicates his body and mind to the god of justice, and there are no paladins in the Michelle family, so if the murderer is really assassinating in order, then he will be safe." ”

"That's great." Cross looked at Marin happily and smiled, "Since we can't contact Mr. Colin now, let's go find His Excellency Hoffman, okay?" ”

"That's what I mean, we have to talk about this kind of thing, come, collect all these cases, let's go." After Marin finished speaking, he reached out and collected the files of these cases, and Faye took out the paper bags from the cabinet next to him, packed them, and then Marin packed them in a leather bag: "Let's go, girls, without further ado." ”

"I'll take the lead." Jessica volunteered.

"No, I'll take the lead." Marin said as he unbuttoned the brass button of his trench coat, revealing the revolver holsters on both sides - Marin had a gun license, a badge of the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, and a family badge of the Church of the God of Justice and the Church of the God of War, and the entire Carter Fort knew that even if Marlin double-wielded the revolver on the street, it would be to kill some spirits who did not have long eyes.

"I'll take the leather bag." After Faye finished speaking, she opened her personal space bag and put it in the bag: "Marin, naturally, let's not act like there are no silver three hundred taels here, in case Mr. Michelle is not the murderer and someone in the city hall is, you will alarm him like this." ”

Marin thought for a moment, nodded, and pulled up his trench coat: "Then this way, Lilim, you and I are the first to go out, pretending that nothing has been found." ”

"Don't worry, I'm from the opera community." Lilim nodded.

"Cross, you follow, be sure to jump on my back, and don't forget to be coquettish."

"Okay." Cross nodded.

"Faye, you take Maya out, Maya, remember to pretend to be weak."

Faye and Cross nodded in unison.

"Alright, girls, the show is on."

After speaking, Marin pushed open the door and was the first to walk out: "I said, we got nothing after all." ”

"If you can find the answer anywhere, do you need Mr. Police Officer and Mr. Detective?" Lilim who came out with a helpless face, she snorted, and looked at Marlin unhappy: "I'm tired, make me a delicious vegetable salad tonight, Marin." ”

"I want it too." Cross jumped on Marin's back, the bunny girl was already on the small side, and Marin had recently grown taller, so she had no problem jumping on Marin's back.

"Okay, well, I'll make you something to eat tonight, and I can't breathe when Cross is hanging." Marin patted Cross's little hand as he spoke, feeling the sound of her heartbeat coming from behind her - this bunny girl is playing well, and she must add a braised carrot tonight.

"Don't forget me and your sister." Behind him came Faye's laughter.

Marin turned around: "How can it." After speaking, he took out the permission card of the archives and handed it back to the staff on duty: "Thank you, we are leaving." ”

"Doesn't look like you've gained anything, Mr. Marin." The elf smiled.

"Yes, it's in vain." Marin spread his hands: "But that's fine, what's richer than world peace, you're right." ”

"Of course." The staff smiled: "What's more, you have such cute girlfriends." ”

"Yes, they are all my treasures, all right, sir, we are leaving, and we will continue to work without disturbing you."

"Goodbye, Mr. Marin, and ladies and gentlemen."

"Goodbye, sir." The girls smiled and said goodbye to him.

………………

Watching Marin and his party leave, the nearby staff looked at the elf: "What are they looking for when they enter the archives." ”

"I heard that I was looking for the file of Mr. Marin's adoptive father, Mr. Gaiat, Mr. Marin and Miss Maya are very concerned about their adoptive father, and this time they came to find the answer, and they also want to help their father." The elf replied with a smile.

"Oh my God, Mr. Gayat is so lucky, to have such a good child, if my little bastards were half as good as them, I would be so happy that I couldn't sleep." The staff on the other side sighed.

"Don't mention it, my little bastards get me into trouble every day, so this person really can't stand the comparison." The gentleman who sat in front of the staff counter sighed, "Ah, then again, Mr. Marin is really a blessing." ”

"Of course, if you are also young and successful, there must be such pomp and circumstance, maybe the number of girls will increase, and then you will be the object of envy, hahaha, jealousy separates my soul and body." The staff member across from him laughed, and then the entire hall laughed.

The gentleman across from him laughed loudest: "What you say is really interesting, yes, jealousy separates my soul." ”

The elf was laughing, too, but the smile grew colder, and eventually he fell silent.

And at this moment, the laughter gradually stopped, and in the hall, the work continued, the errands continued, and only the parrot in the hanging cage was learning to speak.

"Jealousy separates my soul."

Then the passing town hall house cat quieted the parrot.

The cat sat down in the middle of the hall, licked its forefeet, and meowed.

"Ah, sir, your proof, all right." The staff member gave a stirring call, he glanced at the certificate in front of him, turned it around, and handed it to the gentleman in front of him.

"Ah, thank you." The gentleman, who also played a spirit, smiled and took the certificate: "Thank you, goodbye, sir." ”

"Goodbye, sir." The staff watched the gentleman leave, he turned his head to look at the elf, and found that he turned and walked towards the archives: "Hey, what are you doing in the archives." ”

"Take a look, maybe Mr. Marlin didn't get everything in order." The elf turned his head and smiled.
