42 The one who spires

JoAnn has been feeling a suspicious gaze lately? As soon as I heard this, the first thing that came to my mind was the mysterious gaze I noticed after I had eliminated the demons in the school.

Could it be that what he felt, and what I perceived, was the same person's gaze?

"Joan has an extraordinary sense of awareness, and since he said that someone was watching him, he must be being watched." Joe Licorice said to me, "And he also said that whenever he was looked at by that gaze, he felt creepy, as if something bad was going to happen." ”

"Where did he notice that gaze?" I asked, "Is it in school?" ”

"No, it's at home." "When I get back to the neighborhood and when I sit by the window and do my homework, to be exact," she said. The desk he used to do his homework was by the bedroom window, so if someone stood downstairs, they could see him. ”

"Did he see who was watching him?"

"Nope. And......" she said with a serious expression, "I have searched around his house many times after learning about this, but I still haven't found anyone who is spying on him nearby. ”

Then, she added, "Of course, it is also possible that the voyeur infiltrated Joan's living space and took advantage of the darkness under the lamp, so as to avoid being discovered by me." So I also secretly set up a lot of surveillance cameras in Qiao An's house and bedroom, but I still couldn't find out where the voyeur was. ”

I was almost speechless, "Your brother's suspicious gaze is actually you, right?" ”

She categorically denied: "How is that possible? My gaze was clearly credible! ”

I feel like my impression of joe licorice is getting worse and worse.

But since even she can't find the voyeur, it means that the voyeur is definitely not an ordinary person. Although she has no combat power, she is also a warlock, and if the voyeur does not have the hidden power based on spirituality, it will be difficult to avoid the search of the warlock.

Assuming that the gaze that stares at me and the gaze that gazes at Joan have the same origin, then what do Joanne and I have in common? Did you also experience the strange story? After experiencing strange stories, I feel suspicious stares from dark corners from time to time...... This also seems to have a weird flavor, but the demon of the weird story has obviously been solved by me, is there any other inside story?

"Why didn't you tell me last night?" I asked.

"It was half past eight yesterday, and Joan said that the gaze would fade before eight o'clock every time, so I think it's better to ask you to arrest someone." Joe Licorice said, "And then ...... If conditions permit, it is better not to alarm Joan in this matter. ”

"To keep him from being aware of the hidden world?"

"Yes. Although I was very upset that my parents treated us differently, I also wanted Joan to live a peaceful life instead of being involved in dangerous incidents at every turn. Speaking of this, she sighed again, "But it's been getting harder and harder lately, you see, hasn't someone been spreading demonic knowledge on the Internet recently?" Ordinary people will never take that knowledge to heart when they see it, but people with high awareness will instinctively realize that it is real and valid when they see it. He also has some friends at school, and he communicates weird things, black magic, alchemy, or something all the time...... Those ordinary enthusiasts will only be exposed to some specious knowledge, but if it is Joan......"

When I was in junior high school, I also liked weird talk, and black magic and alchemy, or feng shui and Taoist talismans or something, but I didn't understand it.

But the more I listened, the more I wondered if Joan would be the inside story of the strange story. A naturally highly aware teenager who is interested in strange stories and black arts, and yearns for a very knowledgeable life, coupled with the demonic knowledge that is now spreading on the Internet and the strange stories and demons that happen in the school...... The clues were too matched, but the thought of Joan's innocent gaze at me made it difficult for me to convince myself of that suspicion.

"If that's what you're going to do, then I'll have to warn you first." I said, "JoAnn has been exposed to covert events. ”

"What!" Joe Licorice was taken aback.

I told her about Joan's encounter with the Strange Tale incident.

"How could it be......" she was very disappointed, "why didn't he tell me ......"

Assuming that Joan was just the one who was involved, then he must have been scared.

When you encounter such a terrible thing, you can't confide in anyone, even if you tell others, others will just turn a deaf ear as if they were hypnotized. He must have spoken to a lot of people, but it was to no avail. Obviously in the noisy crowd, but it seems that he is the only one living in a different world.

The so-called dabbling in the hidden world refers to such a thing.

Sometimes the farthest distance is not the physical distance, but the spiritual distance.

He must have been scared, and even his relatives had that look of disregard on him.

"Let's settle the matter at hand." I said to Joe Licorice, "It won't be long before Jo Ann is coming home from school." Since the voyeur was moving near his house, we would have stayed there first. ”

"Well, it's ......" she forced herself to restrain herself and stood up.

Then we left the restaurant, and she led me all the way to the building where Joanne's house was.

It was past five o'clock, and Joan was about to go home. However, they waited until the sun went down, but they still didn't wait for him.

"Did he always come home so late?" I asked.

"It seems like he plays with his friends for a while after school every day before he comes home." Qiao Licorice said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot this stubble and made you wait for a long time." Can you wait a little longer? ”

"It's okay." I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer.

But after another few dozen minutes, it was already dark, and I still couldn't wait for Qiao An's figure.

Seeing this, Qiao Licorice inevitably became worried, and called Qiao An, but she couldn't get through over and over again. On the contrary, I received a call here, and it was from the blue bird.

I walked to the far corner to listen to her, she said she was off work, and asked if I wanted to go to dinner together.

"No, I'm with Joe Licorice now." I say.

"Grass? How do you talk to her? She was alert at first, and then reacted to herself, "Oh, she seems to have asked you for help yesterday, is that the one...... Forget it, since you can't come, then I'll send you the information on my phone. ”

"Intelligence?"

"I've been tracking and investigating intermediaries all day today, didn't I say I'd share information with you? I've summarized the results of today's survey, so let's see later. ”

"Thank you." I said it sincerely, remembering how the bluebird "showed off" to me when Joe Licorice joked about sleeping with me, and asked again.

After listening, the blue bird said speechlessly, "That guy Qiao licorice ......" She forgot her nickname, "Didn't she be saved by you last time?" So when we chatted later, she privately asked me if I had a chance to develop with you, and I was in a hurry, so she said that I had developed with you, and I had done ......."

There's no need to be specific about how I did at night. How panicked you were to be so speechless?

The blue bird admonished, "You have to beware of her! She likes nothing more than a teenager like you. ”

"I'm not a teenager either."

"In the eyes of society, nineteen years old is considered a teenager." She emphasized, "By the way, I'm also a girl! ”

You would have liked to say the latter sentence more.

"Okay, I'll hang up, I'll see you later!" After saying that, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

A moment later, she sent the information of the intermediary, along with information related to the succubus.

I glanced at the worried look on my face in the distance, and looked down again.

First of all, the information of the succubus, this page is very small, so I read it first. The content only mentions that the succubus seems to be a fugitive from another province or city, and the weapon is a long whip made of splicing the vertebrae of multiple victims, and the strength evaluation is half a grade worse than that of the middleman, and the social harm evaluation is much higher than that of the middleman who has been committed to the black market in Liucheng for a long time.

Then there is the information of the intermediary, which is even more substantial, because Blue Bird has locked his real name and past identity from the archives of the Security Service based on the true face of him that he has witnessed.

Although he is now an incognito middleman in the black market in Liucheng, in the past, he was a fugitive from other provinces and cities, and he was still an out-and-out perverted murderer.

And even a long time ago, ten years ago, to be exact, he was not a warlock, he didn't even know what the hidden world was.

He originally seemed to live an ordinary life and do ordinary work, and others commented that he was a gentle and humble man. He also has his wife and daughter, and he has friends who have had a good relationship since he was a student. However, he didn't know what had happened, and he brutally killed his friend's family of three.

After that, he fell into a kind of madness that was incomprehensible to others, and he kept wandering around the country to commit murders, targeting young and even young men. The modus operandi is also extremely filthy and twisted, he will first kidnap the victim, then put on makeup and match it with women's clothing, and then torture the victim in a nasty way that makes anyone look at it and disgust, and finally kill him.

And in the process, he also became a demon warlock with the knowledge of demons that he didn't know where he got them.

The Demon Warlock is characterized by an unusually rapid increase in power, which allows him to grow from an ordinary person who knows nothing about the hidden world to a well-known psychopathic murderer. Even Bluebird had seen his face on the news in a hidden world somewhere, so when he saw his true face yesterday, Bluebird felt a little familiar.

The female bodies that Blue Bird found in his hideout last time were also found to be male, but he had been cosmetic with flesh and blood spells to make them female.

In the annex of the information, there are photos of the bodies before and after plastic surgery, and it was the first time I saw those bodies, and when I saw the faces of those bodies after plastic surgery, I somehow felt familiar.

Instead of dismissing this familiar feeling as a mere illusion, I dug into my own feelings while staring at the feminine-looking faces.

After looking at it for a while, I matched those faces to the faces of a certain person in my memory.

Those faces...... It seems to be a little similar to Joan's face!

I was stunned by this discovery.

Joann? Why do you think of Joan? How could the middleman thing be related to Joan here? But the more I looked at it, the more I couldn't let go of this association.

I immediately walked over to Jo Licorice, explained the matter to her, and then gave her my phone and showed her the photos.

"How, isn't it a bit like?" I asked, "Sorry, maybe that would have preconceived notions." Try to see from a stranger's point of view if these faces look a little similar to Joan. ”

"No, no, it's kind of like ...... Wait a minute! She was at a loss at first, and then became anxious, "Joan hasn't come home until now, and I can't get through to him on the phone...... Could it be that they are being targeted by intermediaries? The gaze he had been feeling was actually an intermediary? He's now been caught by an intermediary? ”

That's what I suspect as well.

If nothing else, the middleman was thinking of other prototypes when he forcibly underwent plastic surgery on the victim. If the prototype is Joan, it shouldn't stay at the level of being a little godlike.

But if this similarity is to be used as a basis for attacking Joan, it is not unconvincing. And in fact, Joan is indeed targeted by whom.

"If the middleman kidnapped Joan, where would he be now?" Qiao Licorice was so anxious that she spun around in place, and forced herself to calm down, looking for a reverse inference for herself, "Wait, wait...... Now everything is just speculation, maybe Joan has just been playing with friends for a long time...... Besides, the middleman had only been approached by the blue bird before, so he should have fled from Liucheng and never ......dared to come back."

Next, she tried to reverse the reasoning, "But if Joan is very much in line with his fetish, is it possible for him to risk his life and death to stay?" It's just that I met someone who matched my fetish...... Will you risk your life like this? ”

"Well......" Hearing this, I also tried to think about the criminal psychology of another perverted murderer from my own perspective, "It's not that I can't understand ......"

"Don't you understand." She said with a laugh and a smile.

"But that possibility is true, you know best, right?" I asked.

The person who knows my heart best is neither the blue bird nor the column, but the psychoanalyst in front of me.

If she could understand even my past criminal mind, then she should also understand that the possibility cannot be ignored.

"Your past crimes were not based on perverted psychology, but on the hypnosis and brainwashing of the Kraken, which is completely different." After speaking, she took out her mobile phone again, "Report to the Security Bureau first, although it is not possible to determine whether Qiao An was arrested by an intermediary, but at least report this clue and let the Security Bureau protect Qiao An......"

"Wait......" Just then, I noticed a very strange figure in the distance, "Someone." ”
