Chapter Seventy-Three: Midnight

It's a cheesy name that can't be more cheesy. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but what this guy does is shocking. Among the investigative agencies of the major empires, the name Midnight ** is simply one of the most troublesome vicious criminals. This deranged guy commits a murder almost every month. In the past two years, there has not been a single absence, and so far nearly 21 women have been murdered. Moreover, the range of crimes committed by this guy is all young women between the ages of 18 and 22.

Strangely, the prisoner had never sexually assaulted the deceased. The deceased was naked, and there were no visible injuries other than the fact that his hands and feet were tied. Because the targets were all young women with good faces, the investigation agency gave him a ** name. Later, because it was determined that the time of the deceased was between 3 and 5 a.m., the word midnight was added.

This guy's deeds are like a thief, and they have spread all over the world, but they have a bad reputation. Once a similar incident occurs in an area, it will be reported to the local investigation agency as soon as possible. A special investigation team was formed to investigate the case.

However, no matter how famous the investigator is, he will return in front of this midnight**. As of now, there isn't even a single useful message.

Duo Lu introduced the situation of this vicious criminal in detail, and said: "Last month, a female corpse was found in the rich area of the territory, and the situation was almost exactly the same as the way of committing the crime at midnight. Although we have reported it to the investigating authorities in a timely manner. But they haven't sent anyone yet. ”

"We've formed our own investigative team, but so far we haven't found anything. Dolu spoke, "Your Excellency, I have heard of your deeds. If you have time, be sure to help us put a stop to this vicious creature in our territory. ”

When such a situation happens, there is no need for Count Dolu to say more, and it is impossible for the egret to let go of such a frenzied guy in his heart. "If there's anything I can do to help, it's my duty. But according to you, this guy has already committed a crime, won't he move on somewhere else?"

"Your Excellency Egret may not know something. "This guy will commit at least three crimes every time he goes to a place before he leaves. The one that happened in the rich area was only the first case this guy committed in the territory. ”

"Speaking of which, there are more distressing things. Duolu sighed helplessly, "Soon the Star Spirit Singer will come to our territory to hold a concert." If the prisoner has not been caught by then, he will be sent out. I'm afraid that not only will the concert fail, but the prestige of the territory will also be greatly reduced. ”

"I see. "During this time, we also have to replenish supplies and arrange specific problems for the trip." I'll do my own investigation, Uncle Locke, do you think it's okay?"

"Well, I'll take care of the team's supply problems. You can go and investigate the case with confidence. Locke laughed.

"I'm going too!" said Nina, her expression full of disgust, as if she hated such criminals.

Egret felt that he was afraid of something, and he knew that Nina was also a jealous person. But it's also not very much about the way things are done and the outcome of things. If Nina is allowed to go, she has to consider whether Nina will kill people without waiting for interrogation after actually arresting them. The egret doesn't care about the life and death of this scumbag, but he must understand the causes and consequences of the criminal's evil. In this way, it is possible to prevent copycats from copying ** crimes in the future, which is the importance of crime detail management.

The matter was decided, and Locke and Doni were in charge of arranging the supplies. It can be solved in about a day or two. Egret and Nina go to investigate Midnight***, and the two must catch the prisoner in this short period of two days.

"How do you start the investigation?" Nina officially participated in the investigation for the first time, so naturally she had to ask how the egret started. Although Egret is not an investigator, with the experience of the previous times, it is certain that Egret must have a clue.

"I just asked Count Dorlu for a note about this ** from the investigating agency. It is absolutely impossible to find the prisoner in a short time and let the two of us go to the streets to investigate. ”

The egret said to Nina, "In two days, all we can do is check the records of this guy since he appeared. Then find out the pattern of this guy's crime. See what the deceased have in common besides their age. ”

"This guy has committed so many crimes, there must be fixed patterns and traces. Maybe the investigators have found out, but they haven't broken through. ”

"In two years, many investigators have investigated, and they didn't find any problems, can we find them?" Nina said a little sluggishly, you let her go out to fight, that is guaranteed to be not a problem, but looking for clues in a large number of cases, or clues that have not been noticed. It's a bit of a struggle.

"I don't have any faith. "The egret was helpless, it was extremely difficult to say what he had found in such a short time. But the egret has its own plans.

The two didn't talk for long, and they arrived at Count Doro's study. The dossier on Midnight** has been piled up here, and there are dozens of them. It looks like a mountain of books. Nina looked at the egret hesitantly, but in the end she didn't flinch, walked to one of the desks, and sat down silently.

The egret didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to, and it was quite a pleasure to watch the beautiful girl who usually danced with a sword and a sword start to be a quiet beautiful girl who reads. However, the egret did not delay, and soon entered the state of checking, they did not have much time, and it was basically too late if they did not go all out.

The contents of the dossier are very complex, and almost everything from the discovery of the first naked female corpse two years ago to the present is recorded in great detail. It took Egret and Nina six hours to finish the dossier, and they didn't stop until late in the evening to rest.

"How, did you find anything?" asked the egret.

"I looked at the file and it seems that the investigator has conducted a full investigation of the case. Now it is certain that this criminal is very hateful, he first chooses a good target, captures the other party at night, then strips the other party naked, and then kills the other party. Because most of the killings were in the middle of the night, they were called midnight*** I found a few things in common, first of all, these girls were either rich or noble women, and almost none of them were children of poor families. Maybe this prisoner has a hatred for the rich. At the same time, the deceased's personalities are relatively lively, according to the information obtained from local inquiries to the families of the deceased, these girls often participate in some external activities, and they are also extroverted. And I also made a big discovery, that not every place has three crimes. In Banco and Kazan, this guy has committed four crimes. Nina said slowly, she read the file very carefully.

"That's right, what else?" asked Egret continued.

"And?" Nina continued, after a moment of distressed thought. It is also worth noting that the women he killed were all tied with their hands and feet tied. Well, the way it is tied up is unique. It seems to have some artistic style. ”

"That's right. There's actually one more detail here. The egret nodded and said, "Did you notice the costume that the deceased wore before his death?"

Nina thought back, "What do they wear? It doesn't seem to be any different from the average rich girl?"

"Quite the opposite. The egret shook his head, "I think what they wear has a direct relationship with their killing. You may not have noticed that they wear the same color every three or four. And the costume designs were the most original at the time. ”

"But what does this have to do with being chosen to be killed?" Nina was a little confused.

"Maybe we're all wrong. The inquisitors only saw the beautiful girls being killed and stripped of their clothes. But two important issues are overlooked. First, these girls were not sexually assaulted. Second, the perpetrator did not injure the body too much. ”

"So, Nina master. Are you interested in wearing a dress? I think it must look good. The egret smiled wickedly, and Nina almost rolled her eyes as she watched.

"Bait?" Nina pouted, "I'm not sure this guy will do it." ”

"Don't worry. If all goes according to my expectations. In the face of a beautiful girl like the master, the necessary conditions for committing a crime have been met. He's going to be tempted!" Egret said with a swear.

The Count of Dolu gave a banquet. On this evening, although the time was rushed, the efficiency of the Earl's Court was not satisfied, and it took less than two hours to arrange everything necessary for the banquet. Even the invitations were sent on time. Even Duolu, who became a monk halfway through and took over the title of earl, was no less prestige than the old earl. But everyone who received the invitation, even if it was very hurried, rushed over.

"Your boy has done a good job as an earl in the past two years. The night cat patted Duolu on the shoulder vigorously, and the maid behind her changed her face in fright.

Duo Lu replied with a smile, "That's because Sister Night Owl taught me to practice, and if something doesn't go well, I'll learn Sister Night Owl's way of coping." ”

"Learn from me?" Night Cat looked confused, "I haven't been an earl or a lord, what can you learn from me?"

"Of course, I learned your methods! Sister Night Owl didn't accept you at the beginning, but didn't you all clean it up, and in the end they all obeyed. So I thought, it must be easy to follow the method of Sister Night Owl!" Duolu said happily, "In the end, it turns out that Sister Night Owl is indeed right." ”

Hearing this, the egret group couldn't help laughing, almost choking back their internal injuries.

Because he was an illegitimate child brought back from outside, this Count Dolu was not welcomed at first, and was even embarrassed by people in his own family, that is a sure thing. But how do you think that this child has received a violent education like a night cat, and he has to get started when he encounters unhappiness!

The Dean Empire is a country that values weapon technology, but does not care much about personal cultivation. Therefore, the folk customs of the various territories are not good for force, and there are not many nobles with high combat effectiveness. Duolu himself is a highly gifted martial arts cultivator, and he has reached the elite level by practicing casually. As an earl all the way, in a small place like a territory, it is really a person blocking people, and a god blocking a god.

"Do you still know my method?" the night owl's face turned red, and he grabbed Dolu's neck with his hand. "You've really disgraced our orphanage. ”
