In front of Huai Shi was a corpse.

To be exact, a corpse with most of its neck cut off. According to Huaishi's experience, the murder weapon should have been a knife. And the perpetrators are quite skillful.

Like a butcher, he calmly and skillfully cut off the flexible muscles and hard bones in the simplest way, breaking the neck of the deceased in an instant.

The only fly in the ointment is that there is still a piece of flesh and skin connection, which makes people feel uneasy.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems to be deliberate.

Not beheading, but ...... Mismatch?

Huai Shi pinched the oden skewers in her hand, nibbling on each bite, and fell into deep thought. The more I look at this scene, the more familiar it becomes, and the more I look at it, the more I feel a certain sense of immediacy.

Even if he learned from the traces that he didn't get started at all, Huai Shi could imagine how the murderer forced the deceased into the alley step by step, and then brutally ravaged the other party, leaving wounds all over his body. Finally, when despair came, he cut off the other party's head coldly and capably.

Perfect!

Wait, how does it feel like you're doing it yourself?

This is completely its own traditional show!

Huai Shi was instantly alert.

- Someone is trying to harm me!

Soon, though, he calmed down.

First of all, as a nostalgic child, only a few people know about coming to Yingzhou in disguise. Although Russell has a bad taste, he will not kill other people for the sake of tossing himself. Not to mention Tong Ji, she wants to arrange herself to have 100,000 ways, and there is no need to add to it.

A weapon similar to the murder weapon, Huai Shi only has the Imperial Divine Knife on his body.

There are not many people who know this: his two students, Mr. Ping, the manager of the alchemy laboratory, and Raymond, who was pulled over by himself to try the knife.

They don't go around talking about this kind of thing.

So, the biggest suspect......

He looked back at Amber, his eyes becoming serious.

Stinky sister, what are you doing?

"It's not me ......"

Amber rolled her eyes and lit the seven stars at the corners of her mouth: "It's too easy for me to hurt you, just lift your skirt in public."

Besides, this kind of murder happened long before you came, and it can't be blamed on you at all. ”

"Who's that?"

"How do I know. ”

Amber shrugged her shoulders and glanced out, "But that guy has been getting more and more excessively lately...... Over there, just across the street, is the gate of the Nara City Hall. This is a clear provocation. ”

Just don't get it on yourself anyway.

Huai Shi finished eating the last ball, threw the bamboo stick into the tube, and threw it into the garbage bin in the corner at random, just like that, she ate her supper at the murder scene, and finally took out a wet paper towel to wipe her hands and mouth clean, and the corners of Amber's eyes jumped wildly.

Finally, his gaze fell on the skull, which still had remnants of horror and despair.

"Who's the one who died? ”

Huai Shi thought about it for a long time, but didn't remember: "Acquaintance?"

"I'm one of my cousins, it's called ...... Forget it, you don't bother to remember it anyway, it's all dead, whatever you want to call it. Didn't you fight his agent last night?"

Huai Shi frowned.

"Fukatsu Kei?"

He finally remembered this unlucky buddy, and remembered that he had been sitting in a chair and watching before.

"How did he end up here?"

"Who knows, the kitchen demon quit, and he lost the qualification to compete, probably because he gave up on himself and came out to get drunk, right? I heard that there are many places to have fun nearby—speaking of which, do you feel ashamed that you are sleeping while your peers are working hard for a living?"

"I'm sorry, not at all, but happily ate an extra bowl of supper. ”

Huai Shi retorted without mercy: "Your cheap cousin died, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you so serious? Or did you call me all the way to share this happiness with me?"

"That's the problem. ”

Amber sighed faintly, "An hour ago, your former colleague, the former retainer of the Satomi family, Kiyomasa Sasaki, appeared at the scene of the crime. ”

Huai Shi's movements stiffened in place, slowly turning his head, unbelievable.

"What?"

He was stunned and asked, "Sasaki, didn't he go to Satomi's house?"

"I've been in touch before, and I'm even planning to join me. Unfortunately, on the day he arrived in Nara, he released the pigeons and disappeared. ”

Amber sighed, "That guy is stupid, incomprehensible, and full of anachronistic stubbornness, but he still takes Cigna very seriously.

I thought something had happened to him and he might be dead, but I didn't expect it to be worse than dead. ”

"Still, even if that's the case, I don't believe he's going to turn into a murderer...... That idiot would rather die than be so embarrassed. ”

From the mobile phone handed over by Amber, I saw the surveillance video of the intersection at that time.

After a pause, gaze at the man hurrying through the night.

There is only one back.

is still wearing a Yingzhou-style robe, stepping on clogs, and carrying an untimely long knife...... On his head, he wore a ridiculously funny pink motorcycle helmet, as if trying to disguise it, but instead it became more eye-catching.

Only two frames appeared, but it was enough to identify him.

Because even if he has a helmet on his head, that guy ...... but forgot to disguise his saber. Whether you've seen it or not, if you take the photo and check it out to the weaponsmith, you won't be able to hide your identity at all.

It's just too lame.

Huai Shi looked at the screenshot, shook her head and sighed: "Seriously, I haven't seen a murderer with such a punk painting style." ”

Amber was silent for a long time, glanced at the unconscious Jinling Guillotine King next to him, and finally felt the thickness of the faces of both sides, and sighed to himself.

Huaishi also didn't believe that Sasaki would be a decapitated murderer.

Just kidding, doesn't he know Sasaki's technique of decapitation?

Besides, with his temper, if he really wants to take revenge on the society, I'm afraid he would have run to the Luming Pavilion with a bomb a long time ago, where is the need for this?

But obviously he didn't do his business, and he couldn't bear to hit the murder scene so straight, and in fact, it was such a coincidence, hiding his whereabouts with his head and tail exposed...... No matter how you look at it, there are major suspicions.

"How long have there been cases like this?"

"It's been more than half a month. ”

"That's why the Satomi family didn't declare Sasaki the murderer right now, a week before he came here," Amber said...... The time is not right at all, but the suspicion of imitation cannot be ruled out. ”

"It's been so long?" Huai Shi was stunned, "Didn't the local inspector in Nara take action?

Amber asked rhetorically, "In Dongxia, will the Social Security Bureau hand over the security of Jinling to the Astronomical Society?"

"Okay......"

Huai Shi thought for a long time and asked, "It's the Luming Pavilion that is in charge now?"

"Luming Pavilion? At the juncture of the selection of the head of the family, they wish to see the family make a fool of themselves. The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, at this time everyone wanted to come over and step on two feet, and those guys would not care about the except for coming over to wash the floor and pretending to apologize after they were done. ”

Amber rolled her eyes, "In order to avoid damaging the reputation of the Satomi family, the elders of the family have decided to offer a bounty to all the candidates for the head of the house, and you are almost the last to know." ”

"I see. ”

Huai Shi suddenly said: "Whoever catches that guy will be the head of the house?"

"Hehe, what do you want? Will the Luming Pavilion allow it? Those guys are not good enough, but it's too easy to get bad done. Amber sneered twice, "You can only go straight to the final round, and choose any Frontier Relic from the Satomi family's treasury." ”

"That's it?"

Huai Shi pouted in disgust: "There should be a limit to deceiving countrymen, right?"

Choosing any border relic in the Satomi family's treasure trove sounds beautiful, but in fact, when it's your turn to pick, I'm afraid that the good things will have already been taken away, and all the crooked melons and cracked dates will be chosen for you, like picking up garbage, it is troublesome to choose whichever one.

Besides, the general border relics Huai Shi can't be looked down on.

The Sword of Virtue, the Axe of Wrath, the Spear of Compassion, the Sword of Resentment...... Not to mention Beelzebub, even the shoulder bag he was carrying was an artifact-level thing.

And there is a responsive Tongla Aemon at home, where does he need this rare?

In comparison, the promise of going straight to the final round is more sincere.

This is especially true for Huaishi.

He's not a professional chef with a lot of recipes in his stomach, he's just a part-time job, it's okay to steal a chicken once in a while, and if he really wants to fight with professionals, he's really a bit empty.

Being able to skip the middle and jump to the final is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him.

When the time comes, as long as you sit and wait for Amber's stinky sister's agent to call, and then bow your head and admit defeat, you can take the money home, it's easy and simple.

"It's just ......"

Huai Shi asked curiously, "Such a good thing, can the other candidates actually agree?"

"Of course, why not? It's a great time to flex your muscles, and if you can prove your abilities, you can get even more value." At the same time, it is also a bright opportunity to eliminate competitors......"

Amber snorted coldly, "That old man in Inuee has already seen it and found the opportunity to start spilling." I am not afraid that after the selection of the head of the family is over, I will be ordered to cut my stomach and give the emperor and the general a look at it. ”

The inclusion of 'solving serial homicide cases' as a condition in the selection of the head of the family is completely giving all candidates room to play for themselves.

From this moment on, the situation of the struggle will spread outward from the scope of the 'Imperial Kitchen Demon Trial', and it is not surprising that the last few waves of people will open a film on the street under the pretext of investigating the murderer.

You said you're not a murderer, so why are you strolling around the streets in the middle of the night? Enough, don't talk, come with me, or you're welcome......

There are simply as many excuses as there are to stir up trouble.

Just thinking about Huai Shi makes me feel a toothache.

"No, this thing is too troublesome, and it's not in the kitchen demon showdown......"

After picking out his feet in the face of Miss Huai Paper, he slapped his knee and said in a loud voice, "You have to add money!"
