"Maybe he has left now." Reiner shrugged, "After all, I have been waiting for you at the door of the room, and I have no chance to guard the door. When the two of us are standing here, he has enough opportunities to sneak away.
Walk."
Lin En grinned: "You wouldn't reveal such a big flaw inadvertently, so you are letting this person go on purpose."
Reiner's smile became even brighter: "I was discovered by you."
"So, I have lost."
"It doesn't count." Reiner shook his head, "This man is quite smart. I think he stuffed the letter in when we just left, so he will block the door when we come to our senses, even if
It only took a few minutes, and it was already too late.”
"Looking at it this way, one day may not be enough?" Linn took out the key and opened the door.
"Aren't you going to continue the investigation?" Reiner asked when he saw that Linn was about to go back to the house.
Lin En walked into the room, took off his coat, and hung it on the hanger near the door: "We have too few clues now, and the other party is not stupid, and he knows that we are not stupid, so there is no point in going out rashly. It is better to rest peacefully first
, wait until he can’t sit still.”
Reiner walked to the door: "You can keep calm, but I can't. After all, the opponent is coming for you. If I wait like you, I will most likely lose this game."
"Haha." Lin En stretched, "I can't help you attract the opponent all the time. Since it's a competition, you have to be more selfish."
"I hope you won't regret this decision." Reiner chuckled a few times and helped Linn close the door. "Then I'll go first."
"Good night." Lin En said to Reiner who was about to close the door.
"Good night." Reiner closed the door and went downstairs alone to continue investigating the psychopath.
Seeing Reiner's energetic look, Linn felt a little happy while lying on the bed.
It is really a great thing to partner with such a motivated, consistent, and capable person.
If you want to become stronger, the most important thing is to have enough adaptability.
Fortunately, they both have this.
So much so that there are still about four days left before the new mission starts, and there is still time to compete in catching a psychopath who does not actually threaten the safety of the [Transcendent].
Let’s look at Arthur, whom we met for the first time. Facing an ordinary [Awakened One] level mission, he was already restless and unable to sleep.
A group of [Extraordinary Persons] in the city of Joseph also hurriedly hugged each other for warmth, striving to trigger the lowest level mission every time.
Maybe some things are doomed from the beginning.
January 22nd, early morning.
With [Sense] on, Lin En slept peacefully.
Until he woke up, Reiner did not come to the door, indicating that his gains last night were very limited.
For the sake of absolute safety, Linn did not enjoy the breakfast provided by the hotel after getting up. Instead, he went to a random breakfast restaurant outside and made a quick meal. Then he packed a meal, took it back to the hotel, and called Lena.
door.
About thirty seconds later, Reiner, wearing pajamas, opened the door.
"How's it going?" Linn saw Reiner looking a little depressed and walked in with a smile.
"I did some research and gained a lot." Reiner yawned and invited Linn to sit down in the reception area. After that, he went into the bathroom and washed his face with water to wake up as soon as possible.
"Seeing that you didn't come to me, I knew that this person hadn't been caught yet. In order to prevent the food in the hotel from being poisoned, I went to a random restaurant outside and packed a portion for you." Lin En brought the packaged food to you.
The rice was placed on the table, "If this person has the ability to poison all the food on the nearby street, then I have nothing to say and I will die convinced."
"Stop joking. If the other party can really do it, before you go over to buy food, the neighborhood will be in trouble because of a large number of citizens suffering from food poisoning." After washing his face, Reiner walked to the reception area and opened Lin's door.
I looked at the rice I bought and said, "It's very rich. Thank you."
After Reiner took two bites, Linn then said with a sinister tone: "You should have some reward for eating my food, right?"
"You..." Reiner almost choked, "You are so stingy..."
"After all, it's a competition, so I can't help you in vain." Lin En suppressed a smile.
"If it wasn't unsightly, I would have vomited out the rice right now and gone out to buy another one myself." The cultivation he had been accustomed to since childhood prevented Reiner from being as shameless as Lynn, "The information is all on the desk, and I can't do it myself."
Let’s see.”
"Okay, you eat slowly." Lin En stood up and picked up a pile of information on the desk.
Seeing the depth of the information, he was secretly speechless.
Reiner is really fast and accurate in doing things!
After sighing, Lin En sat at the desk and started reading.
At the forefront is a telegram exchange between Reiner and Eden, the deputy of the Tswold Sheriff's Department.
Reiner did not bite the bullet and look for clues on his own, but very cleverly contacted his adjutant Eden and asked him to check whether there had been any cases of mysterious deaths of mystery novelists in Tswold City in the past year or two.
Eden was not stupid, and he immediately realized whether Linn was in danger.
Reiner did not hide anything, realized that the situation was not good, and naturally connected this matter with the previous hospitalization of Lynn with a back injury. Eden conducted a lot of investigations very enthusiastically, and released the results that night.
Gave it to Reiner.
In the past year, two mystery novelists actually died mysteriously in Tswold City.
One of them was a middle-aged man who was a part-time novelist and a buyer for a decoration company. Nine months ago, he died at home due to a food allergy.
However, according to the investigation, this person knew very well that he was allergic to certain foods and paid great attention to his diet. Moreover, he was positive and optimistic and could not commit suicide.
So it could only be that someone deliberately wanted to use this method to kill people.
The other was an old man who lived a good life. After retiring, he began to develop hobbies and wrote mystery novels. The reasoning plots in his works are not subtle, but it can be seen that he has extensive knowledge and experience, which makes him unparalleled in portraying characters.
Advantages, so the sales of his works were quite good at that time.
This man died in a fire four months ago.
The former Public Security Bureau suspected that there was another real culprit, but unfortunately they could not find it.
The latter's Public Security Bureau directly concluded that it was an accident and did not conduct an in-depth investigation.
In the end, both cases were dropped, until Reiner entrusted his deputy Eden, who dug up the files of these two cases in the dusty file room.
"Looking at it this way, it's really wise to go out and buy food." Lin En said.
He originally just said it casually and had no intention of actually going all the way out to buy food. After all, his opponent seemed to have a high IQ, so he probably wouldn't use such a low-level method.
But when it came time to eat, he cautiously pushed him to go out diligently to minimize the risk.
"If he is behind these cases, then we still have to be more vigilant." Reiner, who was eating, heard Lin En's words and replied, "He will kill you by any means necessary before he is caught out."
, you must be on guard at all times.”
"Yeah." Lin En's expression became a little more solemn, and then he flipped through the rest of the information.
It seems that Reiner has basically concluded that the two previous mystery novelists died at the hands of this psychopath, so subsequent investigations are centered around them.
The works of these two men, as well as Lynn's, have been published in the fiction section of the Zward Daily News.
Psychopaths are most likely to be loyal subscribers of newspapers.
It is still difficult to identify the murderer just by relying on this clue. After all, the daily circulation of the Tswold Daily newspaper reaches 120,000.
120,000 households, individuals, and businesses.
Even if all the people from the Public Security Bureau are pressed in, it will not be enough.
Then, Reiner and Toyden helped investigate the list of Tswolds who came to the imperial capital on the same train as Linn but on a later train.
From this list, we checked one by one to see if anyone has subscribed to Tswold Daily Newspapers for a long time.
"This workload is not small. Eden said he would give me a reply at noon." While Linn was carefully browsing the information, Reiner finished his breakfast.
"When you have a further screened list, you plan to conduct an investigation at a hotel near us?" Linn probably knew what Reiner was going to do next.
"Yes." Reiner nodded, "If a serial murderer wants to keep an eye on us, the best way is to stay in a hotel with a good view not far from us. If he lives elsewhere,
It's hard to keep a watch on us."
"What if the other party uses a false identity?" Lynn asked.
"I think there is a high possibility that the opponent will use a false identity, but it is still necessary to do so." Reiner also knows that the possibility of the opponent leaving any omissions is very slim. "Identity is only one of them, and this investigation may not be impossible."
Other valuable clues will be discovered.”
Linn agreed: "Well..."
"What about you? Or do you plan to wait for the other party to come to you? We don't have time to waste with him. We can't pay attention to our diet every day and be always on guard against fires, assassinations and other situations." Reiner felt that the enemy was in the dark, and time was valuable.
It's not proportional either. Their current situation is relatively passive.
"I have some simpler ways." Linn said.
"Tell me about it."
"I will check out the room, take the train to leave the Imperial Capital, and then transfer to another train to come back." Lin En's method is very simple and crude. "If he chooses to follow, then I will check the train carriages one by one. I can easily use my ability to
Lock down his identity. If he doesn’t follow me, I’ll come back again and again, and it won’t be easy to get rid of his surveillance.”
Reiner was silent for a long time: "He will definitely follow... As an ordinary person, if you want not to be dumped, you must ensure that you are always within his sight. Also because you are an ordinary person, he will not know
You have extraordinary abilities, so you can’t believe that you will be targeted if you get on the train.”
"As an extraordinary person, it is too easy to deal with ordinary people." Lin En sighed with emotion. "I wonder if divine enlightened people and above will treat us the same way. No matter how long they think about it or how carefully they prepare a plan
, it’s meaningless in the face of absolute strength.”
