Chapter 10: The Source Starters
Yu Yan sat up and straightened up, and slapped his chest twice with his left hand, "First of all, thank you very much for accepting this commission, you must be curious to know what happened when I summoned you here... My ability is limited, and I can only invite you among the many well-known detectives in the second universe, and among them, Azazler still came voluntarily, and it concerns his compatriots..."Yu Yan paused, "Uh... The dossier is right in front of you, so let's take a look at it first..."
"Hmph, I'll quit." Sigma pushed the dossier.
"."
"Azazler! Sigma! Yu Yan slapped the table again. Sigma pretended not to hear and sat there with her arms folded looking up at the ceiling. I don't really want to open the file, my left hand is on my chest, my right hand is on my chin, I really don't want to investigate any case, I don't have the ability to solve the case.
"Hey, Suksukino, pretending to be a force?"
I looked to the left, and Aques was grinning at me, his fangs looking a little oozing.
"I'm a little tired. I just finished solving a difficult case and was called by Yu Yan, and now I haven't gotten out of that state. I sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Then let's take a rest, I have a spare room here, and it's not too early to see the time, so I'll go and ask someone to prepare dinner, and the file can be brought to the room to read. Yu Yan stood up and said, "Azazel and Sigma, calm down, too. ”
"Humph!" Sigma stood up and walked out, not taking the dossier. Then Azazel stood up, "I won't read the file, I have read all the cases." Aquis took the file and stood up, and Yu Hao called for a soldier to lead the way. Susukino, we'll see you later. Azot took the file and went out.
I saw that they were all gone, so I picked up the file and stood up. I was thinking that I could get through this time, but I didn't expect these detectives to be so unreliable, but that Azote should be pretty good, I hope he can solve the case quickly, so that not only do I not have to expose the facts that I can't reason at all, but I can also get paid.
Yu Hao led me to the room, my room was at the end of the corridor, opposite Azazle and next to Azot, opposite Azot and next to a room was empty. Sigma was next to the empty room, and Aqueth was across from Sigma. Judging from where they were sitting and what happened, everyone should have a bit of a conflict with Sigma, so Sigma was sitting alone on the side, and it was normal for the room to be divided like this. But I don't know about Aquis, he looks like a psychopath, and the most indispensable thing in the universe is neurosis.
I threw the file on the bed, took out the liaison and called Lydelin, and soon Lydilyn took it, and on the light curtain there was a small Lydeline, who was now a Carvon light person.
Lynn: "I just ventured out with Fernando on a barren planet, sorry, I didn't get your communication request. ”
Me: "Didn't you go sightseeing to the planet?" ”
Lynn: "It's not fun, it's all kids. ”
Me: "Okay. Can you come to me now? I have a big case here. ”
Lynn: "We're going to dinner, you can figure it out yourself, come on." ”
"But—" Before I could finish my sentence, Lydilyn hung up.
This damn Fernando!
After lying on the bed for a while, I thought I could only put all my hope on Azot, the treant, but I still had to read this dossier, or I would die if I couldn't answer when they asked.
I opened the file, and on the first page there were a few bold words written on it - L11 Star Field Serial Murder Case No. 109921.
The following cases all occurred in L11 -
The first case is an entertainment planet in the Kema system. The victim was killed while using the toilet, and two witnesses witnessed the killing: a floating dagger slit his throat. Witnesses did not see the murderer, the victim's throat was cut, the wound was so deep that it almost cut his neck, and by the time the paramedics arrived at the scene, he was powerless. The deceased was a Originator of the same race as Azazel, and shortly after he was killed, his body was transformed into a "Hiheim", the goat of the Earth, and the blood on the ground was drawn with an inverted pentagram.
The second case is a planet inhabited by a wealthy man in the Roller System. The victim was killed when he was suddenly killed while dining at home, and his family and servants witnessed a floating dagger slit his throat and died instantly. The murderer was not seen, and the corpse was transformed into a goat shortly after death, and the blood on the ground drew an inverted pentagram.
Further down, until the last case No. 665, the method of murder is the same, there are at least two or more witnesses, the victim is all from the source star, the corpse has also turned into a goat, and the same blood is drawn on the inverted pentagram.
In the end, these hundreds of cases were determined to be serial murders that specifically targeted the source people.
When the original murderer had already killed 9 people, the police in various parts of the L11 star field had arranged for police officers to protect the source star, but there was still no way to stop the murderer from committing the crime. Even later, many of the Origin Stars were killed in front of the police. Even if the neck is protected, the dagger will stab at the brain or heart, etc. The police began to suspect that it was an invisor or a disguiser, but in a police station equipped with a detection system, the killer could come and go as he pleased. As for the inverted pentagram symbol and the nature of the corpse turning back into lower life, the source star people said that it was not clear. And because the source star has been destroyed by the marauders, there is no way to verify all kinds of information. The DNA on the goat carcass was also found to be consistent with that of the deceased.
Just as I was pondering how hellish this case was, I heard the sound of glass shattering.
Opening the door, Azazel was crouching in his doorway with his back to me, picking up shards of glass on the floor, his hands had been cut by broken glass, and a pool of red blood was running on the ground. Look at the shape of some of the pieces, which should be a few goblets.
He heard me open the door, turned to me and said, "Oh, I was so careless."
"Your hand is broken."
"Ah, I just found out." Azazle took a handkerchief from his coat pocket and gently wiped the wound on his hand.
"Blood! It's blood! "The silhouette of a man suddenly appeared on the floor, it was Aquis. He propped himself on all fours, sticking out a barbed tongue to lick the blood on the ground, even the shards of glass. He let out a laugh while licking it, "Hey, hey, don't waste it." ”
"Are you sick?"
Azazel shoved Aquis, who held himself on to the ground. Aqueous licked it twice, and the figure slowly disappeared.
"Is it the Pretender?" I asked Azazler.
"He's a predator." Azazel shook his head and continued to gather the shards of glass.
"Hey! Don't touch it with your hands! Wait and cut again! ”
I hurried back to my room, grabbed a square cleaner from the drawer of the bedside table, ran out, crouched down next to Azazel, pressed the switch on the glass shards, and a beam of light shone on the floor, and then the glass shards and some of the remaining blood stains were gone.
