Chapter 137: The Vortex

The pitch black even makes the interrogation room feel like a borderless room.

Han Dong was tied here alone.

The lower leg is covered by a layer of black liquid...... Such a liquid can monitor the energy state in Han Dong's body and sense his mood fluctuations, which is convenient for the next interrogation.

The detective with a trench coat and candles on his shoulders stood opposite, and the [Night Mother] emblem on his chest was particularly conspicuous.

"Nicholas. Valen, a messenger from the city of Perugia.

Killed a "Black Goat Heir" attacking a miner team in the Black Forest and rescued a miner. At [10:30], you will enter the city after passing the relevant identity test and obtaining a temporary residence permit.

Check-in at Blackwater Hotel at 11:00.

Right? ”

"That's right." Han Dong nodded.

"During this time, you gave the innkeeper - Kangonom. Blackwater wrote a letter.

Do you want Congonom. Blackwater can give you and your servants a position in the inn.

Is it? ”

"Yes." Han Dong nodded in affirmation.

The agent continued:

"Because you are a [newcomer], Congonom must have rejected your request for employment.

Because of the rejection, and perhaps some verbal conflicts, you have a grudge.

In the early hours of the next morning [00:54] against Congonom. Blackwater kills and attempts to hide the remains of his body in a narrow alleyway fifty meters away from the inn. ”

Let's talk about it.

The agent handed out a bloody letter, a photograph.

It was the letter that Han Dong asked Mary to hand over to his boss, and the blood stained on it was widely spaced...... And it's sprinkled in the form of a splash.

As for the photos given by the detectives, they were captured by surveillance devices on the street.

The photo clearly shows that Mary Tis, wrapped in a bath towel, is standing at the entrance of a narrow street with Han Dong, whispering...... It's like deliberating on the choice of a place to dump the body.

When I saw this, the 'uneasiness' of last night quickly overflowed.

Han Dong asked as calmly as possible:

"Do you have pictures of the crime scene? Can you show me? ”

"The scene of the crime has been perfectly recreated through the black fog, and you, as the suspect, are allowed to view it."

The agent removed two special candles with serial numbers from the file bag and lit them on the left and right sides of the interrogation room.

When ignited,

A large amount of dark mist was immediately released from the wicks, combined with the dark environment in the interrogation room, and the scene of the crime was 100% restored.

One of the candles corresponds to the dormitory where the innkeeper was killed.

The other candle corresponds to the alleyway where the corpse is hidden.

[Room]: There are plenty of traces of the fight, and it seems that the innkeeper seems to have been engaged with the assailant for a long time until he was killed.

[Alley]: The innkeeper's corpse was packed in multiple garbage bags and discarded in the alleyway, and most of the body had been eaten by rats and insects when it was found.

Han Dong immediately collected all the detailed information at the scene of the crime, and transmitted it to his brain for extremely fast processing.

"I believe that with your criminal investigation methods, you should have discovered many suspicious points at the scene, right?

At least [5] of the fight marks in the room were faked.

What is certain is that the innkeeper, who is a [mature body], was killed almost in a short period of time, and did not even resist at all.

As for the corpses thrown in the alleyway, it seems that they want to destroy the traces...... Actually, it's more about wanting people to 'discover'.

There are a lot of big rats in the alley next door, and they eat much faster than the small mice and bugs here, right? But it had to be stuffed into this narrow alleyway.

The main purpose is to 'blame the trouble'. ”

In the face of Han Dong's statement, the detective did not change much in expression, and stretched out his hand to point to the photo of the two of them standing at the entrance of the alleyway, "These are indeed suspicious points, but they cannot rule out your suspicions."

Why are you standing at the entrance of the alley at the time of the crime, even though you are resting in the hotel? ”

Han Dong replied calmly: "At that time, when I was resting at the window, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a 'strange shadow'.

Because it was a glimpse, I couldn't see it completely.

I probably saw a spiral-shaped arm and slightly metallic skin, which gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.

As I said, I am a messenger from Perugia, and my only maid is a Toad...... Just use her spatial ability to go to the alley where "Shadow" is located to check the situation.

In an instant, the shadow was gone. ”

When Han Dong talked about the description of the shadow.

The agent's body, who had been calm all the time, shuddered suddenly, and even the candle on his shoulder went out.

After a pause, the agent handed over a pen and paper.

“…… Can you roughly draw the 'shadows' you see? Since you're from Perugia, you must have a talent for painting, right? ”

"No problem."

Gray tentacles grew from between Han Dong's fingers, directly reproducing the memory images in his head on the white paper.

"Wait a minute......

The agent left with the paper.

Immediately meet up with the agents who interrogate Mary Tise and exchange information.

The two confessed in unison, and could not find any suspicions, but Marytis did not see any strange shadows.

Moreover, neither of them detected the mood and energy fluctuations of the 'lying' during the interrogation.

Follow.

The agent handed the drawing drawn by Han Dong to a minister above them and gave a brief account of the incident.

"What? A messenger who fled from Perugia could see the "whirlpool"? ”

"There are no problems with identification, confessions and interrogations.

This man is indeed a first-time visitor to London, and he doesn't know what is happening here, let alone what is happening in the "whirlpool".

We speculate that it is precisely because of this that people have seen the "whirlpool" that they will be blamed by the other party. ”

The minister, wearing a black mask and white gloves, crossed his fingers against his jaw, "seems reasonable but unreasonable...... Shouldn't the most reasonable way be to dispose of this person directly by the "whirlpool"?

Why choose a riskier blame? ”

The agent stretched out a tentacle and scratched his cheek:

“…… Could it be that the "Vortex" was not sure to kill the messenger? ”

The minister nodded, "You're right, nine times out of ten, you are not sure to kill the messenger, so you choose to blame."

After all, if a newcomer kills a local resident, if convicted, he will be sentenced to death and sent to the Church of the Night.

…… Let them go. ”

"Just let it go? The messenger of Perugia has the visual ability to see the "whirlpool...... Since he is still a blank slate, why don't you recruit him to work with us? ”

"The whirlpool is the biggest problem we face right now, but the threat of the messenger himself has not been ruled out.

I don't believe he's just a little messenger......

Since he can glimpse the "whirlpool", he must also be targeted in reverse.

We can find out the details of this man, and even use his bait to catch big fish in the "whirlpool". ”

"Okay."
