46 The scene of the death of a wheelchair girl
In view of the extreme danger of Jack the Ripper at night, Chu Xuan took Alice Field, Artoria and Joan of Arc to the stronghold of the Einzberen family early before the sun sank, a castle hidden in the forest on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
The castle is surrounded by a disruptive enchantment, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people can't even find this castle in the forest, and as the stronghold of the Einzberen family during the Holy Grail War, the surrounding forest and the castle and the castle are equipped with a lot of surveillance and defense magic, even Jack the Ripper would never want to break in.
The next time, when Chu Xuan and his party re-entered Dongmu City, something that he had expected really happened......
In yesterday Artoria with Elizabeth? In the vicinity of the neighborhood where Bathory fought, the murderous murderer who imitated Jack the Ripper committed another crime, and the few who were killed were not locals, and most of them were unknown.
And the most hateful thing is that the strange murderer even spared the disabled, and among the victims was a cute girl in a wheelchair.
However, this foreign girl full of aristocratic temperament is not so simple, she did not leave entry and exit records in Yueben at all, and of course the police in Yueben could not find out her identity.
Fiore? Vervigi? Yugdomirenia, the poor girl who only wanted to be able to walk on the earth on her own legs, was brutally murdered in a distant foreign land......
She departed quietly, just as she came quietly.
"Last night, Rider's Master was killed by Jack the Ripper, along with several magicians and Templar personnel who were cleaning up the aftermath at the scene of the battle.
Because the magic of the servant who didn't die last night entered Ellie's body, I judged that Rider should have escaped Jack the Ripper. ”
In another crime scene that was cordoned off by the police, Chu Xuan held a stack of photos recording the tragic deaths of the victims, and said to the three beautiful ladies who followed him while restoring the scene in his mind in front of the photos.
The source of the news is, of course, Emiya Kiritsugu, after the first crime committed by the Hunter Killer, Chu Xuan ordered him to focus on monitoring the movements of the police system in Fuyuki City.
Although even Joan of Arc can't track the breath of Jack the Ripper, the police can gradually analyze the scope and pattern of her movements by keeping an eye on the crime scene of this elusive murder hunter.
"Last night, someone here must have fought Jack the Ripper, but strangely enough, the dead seemed to be completely defenseless.
Could it be that it was the rider who once fought Jack the Ripper? She threw down her master at a critical moment and ran away by herself? ”
Artoria looked at the photographs from the side, frowned again, and carefully examined the traces left on the alleys and street walls, and came to such a conclusion that puzzled her very much.
On the walls of the buildings on both sides of the alley, there are many traces of sharp insertion, extending diagonally upwards from the normal height, and suddenly disappearing when they reach the position of the third floor or so, and the death below this position is the disabled foreign girl who has been beautifully slashed open and the internal organs have been dragged out - and the master of the rider.
And another strange place is that the wheelchair she used stays at the entrance of the alley, this girl with inconvenient legs actually gave up the wheelchair and moved to the depths of the alley, is she crawling?
But the poor aristocratic girl was very clean and tidy - there was no sign of friction on her limbs except for the blood-stained places, and the shoes on her feet were not worn at all, which showed that she had not moved into the depths of the alley in ordinary ways, nor had she fought Jack the Ripper.
Perhaps, it was Jack the Ripper who knocked her unconscious, then carried her deep into the alley to dissect her, take the heart of the magic gathering, and throw the remaining entrails away?
If that's the case...... That's really enough.
"Rider must have fled after the death of the master and was unable to defeat Jack the Ripper.
Even if she loses her Master, she will not disappear immediately, and if she concludes a contract with another Master who has lost her Servant in time, she can continue to participate in the Holy Grail War. ”
Chu Xuan shook his head imperceptibly and revealed a little truth to Artoria, who had misreasoned about it.
"I've always felt like you know something about Jack the Ripper that we don't know.
I'm not going to dig into how you know that, but if you can, can you tell us as much as you can about your speculations? ”
Joan of Arc, who has the "Revelation" skill, relied on her **ug intuition to discover Chu Xuan's abnormality, but this intuition also told her not to get to the bottom of Chu Xuan, so she could only retreat to the next best thing, only hoping that Chu Xuan would not hide too much information from them in order to hide her abnormality.
"I do know a little more than you do, not just Jack the Ripper, but the other servants and masters, and the whole world."
Chu Xuan frankly admitted that Joan of Arc's feelings were correct, and at the same time, it was equivalent to answering some of the doubts that Artoria and Alice Fell had been having, but he didn't mean to confess everything, but after the point was reached, he shifted the topic to the crime scene.
"As a magician, the master of the rider is supposed to have some kind of movement that can be done without relying on a wheelchair, and the holes in the wall made by the two rows of sharp objects obviously cannot have been caused by the attack of Jack the Ripper, so it can only be caused by a magician who is not good at moving.
Judging by the characteristics of this hole, it is believed that it was caused by four mechanical claws inserting into the wall alternately, and it is likely that the Rider's master used magic to control the mechanical arm to move around various terrain instead of his feet - just like a spider, so these marks do not need to be investigated.
Here's what I've reproduced from the scene......"
Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses expressionlessly, and then began to restore the complete process of last night's hunting and killing game:
Under the cover of night, Rider and her master quietly arrived at the place where Artoria and Lancer had fought in the afternoon, trying to deduce some information about the two sides based on the traces of the battle.
From the first time Jack the Ripper committed the crime, it can be inferred that she needs to use her heart to replenish her magic, for her, the magician's heart is naturally more 'delicious' than ordinary people, and the servant's heart is even more 'great tonic'.
So Jack the Ripper also came to the vicinity of the battlefield, intending to 'prey' on the servants and masters who had come to collect information about other enemies.
Judging by the time of death, Jack the Ripper was met first by magicians and Templar personnel who had come to clean up the aftermath and avoid the battle of the Holy Grail War, and she easily 'hunted' them, and then lurked around them, waiting for others to fall into the net.
When Rider and her master let their guard down a bit, Jack the Ripper attacked Rider, and although he was not killed directly, it was likely to cause Rider serious injuries......
Then Jack the Ripper did not chase after him, but like an assassin, he retreated into the darkness again, waiting for another chance to strike.
Rider's master didn't use the Spell, but chose to retreat with the seriously injured Rider on her own - or maybe she certainly didn't have the opportunity to use the Spell under Jack the Ripper's eyes, and chose the alley in order to get rid of Jack the Ripper.
In this long, narrow area where the tail can be seen at a glance, the lurker should be useless, but the Rider's master can use magic to perform ranged attacks, and can crawl into the air like a spider clinging to a wall.
But even in this advantageous terrain, Jack the Ripper catches up with Rider's master and accurately cuts open her chest and abdomen.
If Rider's master could see Jack the Ripper, then she would never have been able to intercept Jack the Ripper at all, and there was no broken window above where she died, proving that Jack the Ripper did not attack her out of the window.
Therefore, Jack the Ripper must have some kind of near-complete stealth skill, and her one-cut attack is not an ordinary attack, but a kind of causal attack, which has the effect of inevitably cutting the abdomen and removing the heart, so that the victim dies directly.
-- Even if the attack is not necessarily a physical attack, but some kind of magic that acts directly on the victim from a distance.
There is no blood on the back of the Rider's master's clothes, which indicates that she is not carrying the Rider behind her, so the Rider is likely to be held in front of her - in this case, it is impossible for a physical attack to cross the Rider's body and cut through her chest and abdomen.
Then, after determining that his master is dead, Rider immediately shakes off Jack the Ripper in some kind of fast movement that cannot be easily used - something I believe the Rider-level Servant must have been able to do.
And judging from the fact that Jack the Ripper didn't use the causal magic to attack the rider again, that magic should only be successfully cast without being discovered by the other party. ”
Chu Xuan didn't divulge any information from the main god space at all, and accurately deduced many of Jack the Ripper's special abilities, just like the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. (To be continued.) )
