Chapter 7: Magnus 1
"Can you drink like this?"
I poured a cup of tea and pushed it across the table.
Sitting across from me was Detective Magnus, also from Universe Two, who wore a heavy hazmat suit with only five round lenses on his head revealing five green eyes.
"It's okay, I can drink it." There was a muffled sound from the right side of the suit. A long tube slowly protruded from Magnus' right shoulder, and I panicked as I moved my chair back. "It's all right," said Magnus, "and the suit is good at insulating from radioactivity." ”
"That's great!" I pretended to be happy for him.
The tube reached into the cup, and at once it absorbed the tea, as if it didn't feel hot at all, and then the tube slowly retracted. "It's also a drink that can only be drunk in the galaxy." Magnus said.
Me: "Not hot?" ”
Ma: "It's fine. ”
Me: "What do you think?" ”
Ma: "It's fine. ”
Litherine, an assistant standing nearby, refilled Magnus' cup, this time with a long tube sticking out of her left shoulder, and sucking it up in one gulp. Lydilyn looked at me, I nodded, and she refilled the tea.
Magnus looked at Lydilyn carefully and asked, "You have a new assistant, is this time an earthling like you?"
"Yes."
"See, as ugly as you are."
I gritted my teeth in anger, thinking that you don't even look at what virtues you have, they are not the same race, and what kind of aesthetics do you talk about. But thinking that Magnus seemed to have this kind of character, he exhaled twice and said to him: "Is there anything urgent about having such a serious radiation illness and coming all the way to find me?"
"There's something." This time the sound came from the left side of the suit, and with that, Magnus drained his tea again.
"Then please say it."
Once again, I motioned for Lydilyn to pour tea for Magnus, who stared at the teacup with five eyes as if he liked it very much.
"Well, if you like it, I'll send you some tea later. Tell me what's going on with you, huh? ”
I looked impatient.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little thirsty," Magnus sucked up his tea before adding, "Have you heard about some detectives being killed lately?"
Half of the tea I drank squirted out instantly, and I choked on a dry cough. Li Delin came over and patted me on the back gently, attached herself to my ear and whispered, "It's easy to choke on tea, it's better to drink~"
I rolled my eyes, then motioned for Lydilyn to pour tea, took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on my body, looked at Magnus and said, "I haven't heard about it, I've been working on a big case lately." Then he looked at Lydelin and asked with a puzzled expression, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"You're busy drinking." Lydilyn stood aside and said faintly.
I hurriedly snorted, but Magnus didn't seem to care if I was investigating the case recently, and used the tube on his right shoulder to absorb the tea that Lydilyn had just poured for him before saying, "It started with Bosco, his assistant just returned from vacation in another galaxy, and saw him die tragically in the office."
"Did the killer leave any evidence?"
Hearing Magnus begin to tell the story, I immediately straightened my seat.
"Yes, there is a hidden electronic eye installed in the Bosco office, which can be a good holographic projection of the recorded process again, so the police in Lamb quickly knew who the murderer was. However, the police also found that the murderer had died a few days before the crime, and the deceased was involved in a serial murder case in another galaxy before this. The police kept on tracking, and the case went on endlessly, even dating back to before the Van era. ”
I took a sip of tea and was about to speak, but Lydilyn said before I did, "Is it a shapeshifter?"
"At first, the police thought it was."
'Shapeshifter homicide case', this kind of case is countless in the universe, but the murderer was caught after killing a few people, because the genetic data of each shapeshifter has been recorded by the Federation, and the newborn shapeshifter baby also needs to be reported to the Federation according to the law. The only thing a shapeshifter can change is their appearance.
"Isn't it?" I was shocked when I heard it, it was very strange.
The second deceased was Natapong, who also died in the firm, but he did not hire an assistant. The finder was a help-seeker who came to him to solve the case, and the help-seeker said that when he went to the office and saw the door open, he naturally walked in, and when he walked to the office, he found that it was a mess inside, and Natapong's whole person was only a skin. This is the same way to die as Bosco. ”
"Did you leave any evidence this time?"
"Natapong, you are white, just a big ball of meat, and the people on their planet only believe in biotechnology, and they don't put mechanical things in the office at all. But this time there were traces of a suspected fight, and the killer left a handful of hair, which was identified by DNA as Bosco's. You know Bosko has long hair all over his body, and you've seen him before, and his whole body is covered by long hair. Just the two of them can still handle the case. Magnus sucked up the tea again, and this time he shifted slightly, turned to Lydilyn and said, "Can you prepare me two larger cups, I'm thirsty with both mouths, please."
Lydilyn looked at me, I nodded, and Lydilyn was ready to walk out of the office.
"Wait, Lynn. You go get the bottle bar, the bottle that Fernando delivered. ”
Lady Rieline tilted her head slightly to indicate that she was pale, opened the door and walked out of the office, then closed the door.
"Well, I still have an impression. Since it was identified as Bosco's DNA, it was not a shapeshifter, and shapeshifters did not possess this trait. I said to Magnus.
"Yes, but the murderer can't really be Bosko, his body is still in the morgue of the Lamb Interstellar Police Station, and the police are too big to issue a bounty order for Bosco. The next deceased are Bivis, Leopold, and Waltergu in order, all of whom were killed when they were alone, and they all died in the same way, among which Leopold had nothing left, because his whole body was made up of liquids... Hey, you said that this kind of person can also handle cases..."
"The dead are great, don't talk about it. That is, was the last deceased to be Waltergu? ”
"No, it's not sure if the killer has another target. But recently one of the deceased was my assistant, and the murderer should have been the target of me. ”
Then Lydilyn opened the door and walked in from the outside, holding a bottle of wine in her left hand and two large wine glasses in her right hand.
"Will you let me drink it from a teacup?" I asked Lydilyn.
"You just drink tea." Lydilyn replied.
