The cramped meditation room was filled with white lights. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The blood splattered on the floor, a withered dark red hue, intertwined with the shadows of the corpses, formed a dark abstract painting, making all the lights seem meaningless.

At this time, five police officers were stepping on the stools that had been moved, searching the past from the ceiling.

"Jack, you're so handsome just now~" This is Sam who came over with excitement on his face.

"Hmm!" was Tifa who whispered in agreement.

"Seriously!" it was Paddy behind Sam, who gave Jack a sneaky thumbs up, then pointed to the corpse still in the meditation room, after all, death was not suitable for smiling. Then, seeing Sam's still nonchalant smirk, Paddy squeezed his eyes at Sam and continued, "Sam, if you want to continue, you'd better restrain your smile." ”

"Ah...... Oh!" Sam reflexively glanced at Muffy, and when he noticed that the girl was looking blankly at the police officers searching the ceiling and not noticing him, he breathed a sigh of relief and put on a look of serious mourning.

This time, even outsiders like Jack can see through it.

"Sam, why don't you go and comfort Muffy, she's in need of someone to accompany her in such a tragedy!" said Jack with a serious face.

"Huh? no...... This, that, why me?" Sam asked in surprise.

"Don't you like her, ah, men have to take every opportunity!" Jack whispered encouraging.

"No, that, I don't, I don't like her!" stammered the young man's face flushed.

It was a very funny look that reminded Jack of his youth, but unfortunately, because he was a man, Sam's tsundere only had zero points.

Jack: "You're not going...... Then I'll go!"

Sam was suddenly anxious: "Oh, wait, don't, wait, I'll ......"

Looking at Sam's figure walking towards Muffy, Tifa glanced at Jack and said, "Master Jack, you are so bad......"

Seeing this kind of young man who still yearns for love, I can't help but tease. Jack also paid attention to the detectives' probing, and replied casually - of course, he didn't notice Tifa's pretty eyes.

"Alas, don't you yearn for love, Jack?" Somewhat blinded by Jack's words, Tifa hurriedly and eagerly asked, she didn't even need her usual honorific title.

"It's not like that, it's just that love is a thing...... Alas, the point now is whether there is a secret passage in this ceiling. Jack obviously didn't want to go into details, he didn't even notice Tifa's abnormality, he just stared nervously at the ceiling, and said, "I don't want to be slapped in the face again." ”

"Hmm......" Tifa pouted dissatisfiedly and said, "Is face so important to men?"

"You're wrong!" Tifa didn't expect it, her words made Jack turn his head to look at her again, Jack's face was solemn, "Whether for men or women, face is the meaning of life, well, of course this sentence is not what I said, and ......"

In the twist, Jack smiled mischievously, looked at the frightened Tifa (of course, he thought), and said, "After you say that, it seems that face is not such an important thing...... However, to be honest, if this reasoning is wrong, then this case is probably going to become a big mystery, anyway, I don't believe that Peter's 'detective' can solve it! More importantly, I have a hunch......"

Tifa's eyebrows furrowed along with Jack's, "What hunch?"

"My instincts tell me that what is hidden behind this murder is extremely important, perhaps with something to do with Mikal's eccentricity...... Well, but it's all a feeling. ”

"Sometimes it feels like it's not credible. Tifa patted Jack on the shoulder comfortingly and smiled, "Don't be that stressed, Jack." ”

"Yes, you're right!" Tifa dispels all the gloom in Jack's mind with a slightly playful smile, and his smile has dropped all pretense.

Then, the two men who looked at each other fell into a somewhat awkward silence.

In the end, the silence was broken by an excited shout from a police officer.

"Found it, Detective, found it!

His discovery caught everyone's attention, and in the center of the ceiling, a white brick had been carefully removed, and behind the brick was not a gray hard stone, but a black hollow, and the officer reached into it, but did not touch any obstacles, and it was clear that the front of this hollow was passable.

"Great!" said Peter, praising the officer who had discovered the secret passage, and he walked towards it, obviously curious.

At this time, Muffy on the side rushed quickly towards the secret passage, and Sam, who was following him, seemed to notice something, and shouted, "Stop her, stop her!" He wanted to stretch out his hand to block Muffy's path, but he was afraid of being surprised, so he hesitated.

Simply, Sam shouted in time enough.

Then, reacting quickly, Peter reached out and stuck it in front of Muffy's neck, which stopped the rushing girl.

"What do you want to do?" asked Peter, glaring at her with a serious face.

"Let me in!" Muffy said expressionlessly, but her eyes glared at Peter without showing weakness, "I want to find the real culprit and avenge my teacher." ”

"You are one of the suspects! Before your suspicion is cleared, all your actions are justified in our suspicion and surveillance, and more importantly, ......" Peter sighed, his tone was not as stern as before, "That's too dangerous, the space in the secret passage is small, and I don't know if there is an enemy ambush, please stay calm, let's send the summoned creatures to explore the way first!"

This statement was reasonable, and Mafei had to stop, and at the same time, Jack also stopped.

Yes, he had wanted to get into the secret passage just now, and though he hated the fact that it was too small, it would be suffocating, but his curiosity drove him to act, and now, after listening to Peter's words, he suddenly changed his mind - he felt that he was too stupid, that there was a safer and more efficient way, but he did not think of it.

What's more, as an inventor, it's too unfashionable to drill holes like a dog!

After a long wait, the [Lucky Mouse (One Ring)] sent by the summoner among the police officers successfully returned from the investigation, because the summoner and the summoner's [Five Senses Sharing (One Ring)], as well as the lucky mouse's super night vision, the summoner was able to clearly "see" where he went.

"It was a secret passage downward, very narrow, similar to Mr. Scarlett's reasoning, it led to a sewer, the location of which was probably the sewer near the Arcane Council branch, and after walking a short distance, I saw a manhole cover, which felt like it was behind the branch. ”

"Very well!" said Peter......, before he could finish his sentence, he saw the girl he had just stopped rushing out of the door, and this time, he could not stop him.

Jack, who was on the side, took a look, exchanged glances with Tifa, nodded tacitly, and chased them out.

(Thank you for the tip!)
