"Well, Konstantin, the greatest detective of all time, has investigated the results you wanted." Konstantin stood in the middle of the reception room at Schiller Manor with a cigarette in his mouth.

Schiller leaned back on the couch and read the newspaper, he put the newspaper down a little, showed his eyes, looked at Konstantin, and asked him: "What did you find?" ”

"It's the murderers of those two murders, didn't you ask me to investigate this?"

"And what did you find?"

"The man who beheaded that Hawke is called Evans Falcone, and the man who sawed Richie apart doesn't know what his name is, but he is wearing a black and yellow armor......"

Schiller closed the newspaper in his hand, then folded it up and set it aside, he pointed to the sofa opposite, Konstantin came over and sat down, Schiller said to him: "I guess you must have gone to hell and found the souls of these two unfortunate victims, and asked them personally, right?" ”

"This is Detective Hell." Konstantin spread his hands and said: "I said it all, the point is hell." ”

"I can go directly to hell to ask questions about the souls of the dead, and there is no case in this world that I can't investigate."

“…… Did you go to school? Schiller asked him suddenly.

"Of course I did, I went to university in London for a while."

"Then when you take the exam, you only write a number, will you give points?"

"Uh......" Konstantin touched the stubble on his chin and said, "Well, I can work backwards from the results." ”

"Although I haven't met the man named Evans, Falcone is the godfather's surname, so Evans should be his son."

"The godfather's son killed the godfather's subordinates......" Konstantin spat out a puff of smoke, narrowed his eyes, and said with a little emotion: "Maybe it's because the former king is old, and the young lion is showing his fangs......"

"If the prince wants to take the throne, he must first cut off the wings of the old royal party, as far as I know, the twelve families are the core force of the godfather's rule over Gotham, and if the heir of the godfather wants to ascend to the throne, then he must first tear down these pillars."

"When he went to visit Hawke, Hawke wouldn't have been suspicious, because he was the godfather's son after all, and just like that, the man named Evans invited Hawke into the reception room and cut off his head."

"And then Richie's death makes sense, the man in the black and yellow armor that Richie saw should be a killer or mercenary, because only people of this profession would dress like this."

"It was Evans who hired this killer to kill Richie, just to further weaken the Godfather."

"After I started with Lawrence, the Godfather's heir cleverly seized the opportunity, as long as he used the same method to create the murder after me, then he could put everything on the murderer of the serial murder......"

"In this way, it was all a conspiracy of Falcone Jr., who wanted to usurp the position of the godfather and therefore used the serial murder case as a reason to eliminate dissidents......"

“…… What is this reasoning? Konstantin looked at Schiller.

"It's basically wrong."

Konstantin raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not all wrong, is it?" Even if there may be flaws, at least the result is right, right? ”

Schiller shook his head and said, "I have to admit that even if you are suspected of cheating in this method, it is very useful in most cases, and it is simply accurate for the victim who has died to identify the murderer." ”

"But this is Gotham, Konstantin ......" Schiller looked at Konstantin and said, "You've been here for days, haven't you noticed that everything here is ridiculous?" ”

"The situation you mentioned may appear in other cities and other forces, but in Gotham this is a chaotic place, and anything unreasonable can happen."

"So what's wrong?"

Konstantin frowned, he propped his elbows on his knees, leaned forward, and said: "There can be no mistake with the name Evans Falcone, Hawke himself told me that he is the murderer, and I can be sure that he is not lying." ”

"No, even the name is wrong, because the man who killed Hawke was not called Evans Falcone, but Alberto Falcone, and Alberto was Evans's brother."

"Twin brothers?" Konstantin's fingertips twitched.

"But I've heard that Falcone has only one son."

"Physically, he really has only one son, have you ever heard of a dual personality?"

"Oh...... That's a bit of a trick. Konstantin waved his hand and said, "Who can know that he has a second personality except for a psychiatrist?" Even the victim doesn't know that this is not something that can be done by reasoning. ”

"It's a bit difficult, but it's not impossible, and if you look closely, you'll know that most people would say that Evans is 'indecisive,' and it's unlikely that he would have the courage to kill his father's subordinates because he wanted to be in power."

"At least you can know that the godfather and his son have a good relationship, and the contradictions between the two of them are not fierce and they are starting to seize the throne now......"

"Well, that's why I didn't investigate it carefully, so I'll replace Evans with Falberto, there's no problem with the motive and modus operandi, right?" Konstantin's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"Although Alberto's relationship with the godfather is indeed not good, maybe he does want to replace the godfather in the throne, but there is no reason for him to hire a killer to kill Richie, just like you said, if he can kill Hawke, then he can use the same method to kill Richie, there is no need to fake others."

"Well, it seems that I am not really a detective......" Konstantin spread his hands and said, "This is the end of the first detective career of the Detective of Hell......"

He took a hard puff of his cigarette, the thick smoke churning between his mouth and nose, covering half of his face like a mask, making it impossible to see his clenched teeth and twitching corners of his mouth.

"Konstantin, you wander between heaven and hell, dealing with cunning demons, and even the most terrifying demon king in hell has nothing to do with you."

"Even if the focus of Hell Detective is not Detective, you shouldn't ignore so many details and arrive at such a sloppy process and result, unless you ......"

Schiller stood up, he walked to the bookshelf behind the desk, Konstantin smoked cigarette after cigarette, and his hand began to tremble violently.

Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore and leaned back on the couch as if he had lost his strength.

His face was pale, blood was running down the corners of his mouth, and the pain made his whole body twitch.

In a hazy sight, he saw Schiller standing across from him, holding a bottle in one hand and a glass in the other, pointing the rim of the bottle to the glass and pouring it in.

When the liquor was poured into Konstantin's mouth, he sat up as if awakened, then looked around in a bit of a trance, and finally, looking up, saw Schiller's head turning into a slowly rotating globe.

Konstantin exhaled, his fingertips trembling a little even in his dreams, and he lit a cigarette again and stuffed it into his mouth, only to get better.

"Even in the second before death, people can dream, or rather, this is a good time to dream, and the marquee of life is the best dream."

“…… Is it? Konstantin slowly turned his head to look out the window, and he said, "...... I've never had a dream. ”

"But I know ......" was accompanied by a long sigh from Konstantin: "...... It's not to blame Oneiroi. ”

With smoke in the air, Konstantin began his narration.

"When I was not yet born, I had a brother, we were twins, and we shared the space in my mother's womb and the nourishment she gave us."

"One day, in my mother's womb, I strangled him with an umbilical cord, and before I was born, I killed my own brother and took away all the space and nutrients."

"And it also caused my mother to bleed profusely during childbirth, and died in childbirth, and I killed my own mother when I was born."

"My mother died because of me, so my father hated me so much, and when he went to prison for his crimes, I was placed in foster care with other relatives."

"It was during this period of life that I came into contact with magic, and after my father was released from prison, in revenge for his indifference, I cursed him with the magic I had just learned, and he did not die, but became very weak and miserable."

"Then I started performing all over the world as a bandmate, causing more trouble and killing more people, and in one of the accidents that put me in a psychiatric hospital, I became aware of my fate and saw it all......"

"What's more, I saw a shadow that had always been with me, it was my brother, my own brother who was killed by me before he was born, and he did not die, but became a curse that haunted me forever......"

"The two of us are twins, I have an unparalleled talent for magic, and he has it too, and the curse he has formed has always surrounded me, hiding under his bed every night, taking away my dreams, and I know that he wants more than that."

"He's just trying to torture me, make me miserable and broken, and then kill me."

"This curse is eating away at my body little by little, from dreams to soul to body, causing me intense pain, and for years I have tried all the exorcism rituals, but to no avail."

"Why?"

"He was not born when I killed him, and after his soul became a curse, he was born with me, and we are one person, therefore, any exorcism ritual will not be useful......"

"But I'll have to solve this problem, because he's going to kill me......" Konstantin coughed twice, he relaxed and leaned against the back of the sofa, looking a little enjoyed, "The moment I entered your dream space, I was stunned, I haven't been so relaxed in years." ”

The pace of Konstantin's smoking finally slowed down, and the smoke became thinner, and Schiller asked, "So it's because of your brother that you want to go to Oneiroi?" ”

"That's right, because I found that he seems to be able to interfere with my dreams and give me all kinds of nightmares, and I think maybe it has something to do with Oneiroi, maybe Morpheus has a solution."

"But before I came, I didn't have much hope, because in the last meeting with Oneiroi, he told me that he couldn't give me sweet dreams, I don't know why, but maybe he was refusing."

"So, I also prepared another plan."

"What's that?"

"Lorenna Sanchez, a ghost mother who specializes in dealing with children." Konstantin narrowed his eyes and said, "The curse that wraps around me is the image of a fetus, and everything related to fetuses, infants, and children belongs to the ghost mother. ”

"Laurenna has been in Gotham for a long time, but not because she likes to stay here, but because her grandmother made a pact with a mysterious force here......"

"And that mysterious force is called ...... Owl Priest. ”
