Chapter 256: Arrest the murderer
As for the caster who did something in this diary...... There is no second suspect other than the killer himself.
However, why didn't the murderer who did the other thing in Xinyue's diary simply bury the attack? but left a fragment of Fang Xiyue and Fang Xinyue's memories in it? Is there any point in letting the trappers see the past of Fang Xiyue's sisters? What purpose can the murderer achieve?
Luo Miao couldn't figure it out, he couldn't find a conjecture that could give a reasonable explanation for the murderer's actions.
After thinking for a while, Luo Miao, who couldn't make an explanation, stopped thinking in this regard: Forget it, if you can't think of the murderer's intentions, you can't think of it, anyway, I also found Fang Xinyue's location information.
In the process of passively reading Fang Xinyue's memory, Luo Miao got the location where she was trapped, and the location information mentioned by the murderer was hidden in Fang Xinyue's diary.
Luo Miao was a little surprised to be able to obtain location information so easily, it had not been more than half an hour since they entered the house, and the murderer had kept the entire clue intact on what could be said to be a relatively conspicuous diary, without multi-segmentation or encryption.
Is...... It's kind of weird.
......
"I found the location information left by the murderer. β
Everyone who was summoned by Luo Miao was stunned when they heard his startling words.
When everyone showed surprised expressions, Luo Miao put Fang Xinyue's diary on the table: "This is the diary of the fourth victim, Fang Xinyue, the murderer did something on it, and left the memory fragments of Fang Xiyue's sisters in some runes on the page of this diary by some magical means.
When I opened this diary just now, I was affected by the runes on this diary, and I saw the past of Sister Fang Xiyue...... In Fang Xinyue's memory fragments, I found the place where Fang Xinyue was trapped.
Although I don't understand why the murderer left the past memories of Fang Xiyue's sisters, who are not related to anything else, in his diary, ...... Fang Xinyue's trapped position has been confirmed. β
"We've only been in for less than half an hour, so it's ...... You've found it, you're a little lucky, aren't you?"
"It should be said that the murderer did not hide the location information tightly, the location information and the memory fragments of Fang Xiyue's sisters were hidden in this diary, listening to Luo Qiyi's statement, as long as you open this diary, you will be brought into the memory fragments of Fang Xiyue's sisters if you see those rune spirits.
It seems that whoever opens this diary can eventually get the location information, and the murderer left the complete location information in the diary, and did not add any arrangement that increased the difficulty of our search, but also used this method to make the person who opened the diary finally find the location information inside...... There is a suspicion that we deliberately want to easily get the location information. β
"Indeed, according to the murderer's actions against us, it is reasonable to leave a diary that should not be location information but a trap. β
"Qiyi, is there a problem with your state?" Han Momo looked at Luo Miao and asked with concern.
Compared with others who had many questions, as a senior of the hunting house, he was more concerned about Luo Miao's own safety.
"It should be fine, I don't feel mentally damaged. Luo Miao shook her head, "But I'm a little worried about whether I've been mentally affected and I haven't noticed it, for example, if the murderer will give me any psychological hints through this method, or bury some hidden dangers in my body...... I've had my AI monitor my every move at all times, and if anything unusual happens, it will warn you. β
"Anyway, don't we all have the spiritual defensive magic tools that the City Guards gave us, how can we still be affected by this?" Han Momo's concern seemed to make everyone react Luo Miao himself had encountered a "danger" just now, thinking of the pendant that was still hanging on his chest, Shen Bai asked.
"Probably because these magic tools can only defend against direct spiritual attack magic, I was affected when I saw those runes, this is through visual influence, I think it should be attributed to the scope of spiritual and spiritual influence, and it is not considered an attack. Luo Miao guessed.
"It seems that we can't rely too much on these magic tools, and the defense it can provide is limited. Lin Weiwen glanced down at the pendant on his chest and said.
"Luo Qiyi, have you found the trapped locations of the two victims, or have you just identified Fang Xinyue?" Xu Ruo asked Luo Miao, she noticed that Luo Miao had only mentioned Fang Xinyue in her previous words.
"It's just that Fang Xinyue's trapped location was determined, I didn't see the location information of the other victim, maybe the trapped location of the other victim is not hidden in this diary......" Luo Miao's gaze fell on the diary on the table, "but it is also possible that the location information of the other victim is hidden on one of the pages of this diary - I opened the cover before and saw the content of the first page, and then I was affected by those runes and was pulled into the memory fragments of Fang Xiyue's sisters."
I'm not sure if the killer did something else to the diary, so I didn't turn the pages to the rest of the page. β
"Well, although the possibility of doing two hands and feet on the same level of journaling is low, it is not impossible. Lin Weiwen pinched his chin, turned his head to the rest of the people and asked, "Do any of us have a spirit or psychic illusion mage?"
Lin Weiwen seems to have intentionally wanted the spiritual and psychic illusion mages among them to be responsible for checking this diary, and the mages of the spiritual and psychic illusion systems are much more resistant to this aspect than other mages, and it is indeed the best choice in comparison, and the others have this idea to some extent.
"I'm a spiritual mage. Xu Ruo responded, "The murderer shouldn't be able to leave any powerful magic on this little diary, if it's just to deal with some mental influences, there's no problem." β
Seeing Xu Ruo, who was a spiritual mage, he was also moved, and Xu Ran on the side said at this time: "Ms. Xu, you don't need to check this diary in a hurry, we have obtained Fang Xinyue's trapped location, and we should inform the people of the Sixth Branch as soon as possible, so that they can act as soon as possible to rescue Fang Xinyue."
If this diary really hides the location of another victim's trapped position, then leave it to the people of the Sixth Division to check the effect, which is the same as checking it ourselves. Although the murderer clearly stated that no one other than us would be allowed to set foot in Fang Xiyue's residence, it was still easy for us to hand out such a diary to the people in the Sixth Precinct outside. β
Xu Ruo thought for a moment and nodded: This is also a solution.
"In that case, then I'll contact the people from the Sixth Branch outside?" Wu Fengyu picked up the walkie-talkie prepared for them by the Sixth Branch and looked at the others.
Seeing that the others had no opinions, Wu Fengyu took the walkie-talkie and called the vigilance team outside:
"Hey-heyββ, this is the hunter team, please reply when you hear it. β
"I can hear you, please speak. β
"We found Fang Xinyue's trapped location inside, and there is also a diary that may have another victim's trapped location, but this diary has been tampered with by the murderer and has unsafe factors, so we want to hand it over to you for inspection - Fang Xinyue's trapped location was found in this diary. β
"Wait, you already know Fang Xinyue's trapped location?"
"That's right. β
"Such a coincidence?" Huang Ren'an outside the door muttered in a low voice, "Since you have obtained Fang Xiyue's trapped position, then this operation is also over, you can come out." β
"Wait, Captain Huang, you said the operation is over, but what about the other victim? We haven't found his trapped location yet. β
"I just received the news that the murderer has been arrested, and we interrogated the location of another victim from him, but he kept silent about Fang Xinyue's trapped location, saying that we have already started to act?
The bureau couldn't pry open his mouth for a while, and instructed me to let me continue the operation here until I found out or learned from the murderer that Fang Xinyue's trapped location was - considering that it might affect you, I didn't inform you about this as soon as I received the news.
However, now that you have found Fang Xinyue's trapped position, this operation is over. β
......
Forty minutes ago, in the second district, a team of disguised people arrived here according to Yang Hong's guidance.
A day earlier, their 17th squad received an order from their superiors to assist the 6th District City Guard to capture a notorious murderer, and Yang Hong, who belonged to the 17th squad, also participated in the arrest operation.
But in the process of chasing the criminals, a companion was wounded, and more than a dozen citizens were injured by the criminals' attacks, and when the criminals fled from under their noses, the unwilling Yang Hong chased after them alone.
In the sewers, he found the escaped criminals and a fierce battle ensued, but in the end he was defeated by the criminals, allowing him to escape, and he was wounded in the battle. If it weren't for the fact that the criminals were afraid of his companions, they would have just prepared to flee this place quickly, fearing that his life would be in danger.
Although he was reprimanded by the captain afterwards, he ...... In the course of the battle, Yang Hong left a hidden tracking mark on the criminal's body, which was created by him personally, and it was difficult for even a light mage who was sensitive to the power of shadows to detect it.
Because he was confident in his tracking mark, he took the risk of catching up with the criminal - he didn't need to keep the criminal, he just needed to brand his tracking mark on the criminal, and his purpose was from the beginning.
The comrades who acted with Yang Hong were a mixed team of the City Guards of the Sixth District and the Third District, except for him and the captain Xu Qingmo, the rest of the team were all colleagues of the City Guards of the Sixth District - his task was only to help the people of the City Guards of the Sixth District find the criminals, and they would be responsible for the rest of the arrest operations;
Yang Hong closed his eyes and felt the faint connection between the mark and himself, and he could feel that his connection with the mark was getting stronger and stronger, which showed that they were in the right direction.
It's almost close, it's close to the sigil...... Yang Hong said in his heart.
"We're approaching the goal, our eleven o'clock direction. β
The captain of the operation nodded silently.
Ten minutes later, under the guidance of Yang Hong, they came to a construction site where the construction had not yet been completed.
"It's here. Yang Hong stopped in front of a construction building that had just completed the construction of the staircase structure, and he looked up at the building covered by a green dust net, "The reaction of the imprint is on it. β
