The more I think about it, the less I can reach a conclusion.
Yagi Xuezai is in a very confused mood right now. Tension and entanglement are mixed together, merging into a heaviness that is hard to let go.
Worrying about when the next victim will appear.
Worrying about whether Fujimaru Ritsuka will be the next victim.
Moreover, no matter how hard I think, I still can't find any clues to find the real culprit like the detective in the animation.
Yagi Yusei is not good at this kind of thing.
He is good at conspiracy.
Using the case to explain it, he is very suitable to be a murderer, not a detective.
(The only way I can think of... is to kill all the residents in this apartment. Since the murderer is among our group, it will be fine as long as everyone except me and Ritsuka are excluded.)
He couldn't help but think so deep in his heart.
However, considering Ritsuka's mood, she would definitely not allow herself to do this. Then, she would have to devise a lot of weird assassination plans that would not make anyone aware of the problem.
This... can only be regarded as a last resort.
Yagi still can't understand what the other party's killing methods are.
Why do both Mordred and Joan of Arc die for no apparent reason?
Can't understand...
The really feasible solution to be done now should be...
Yagi Xuezai tried hard to suppress his disgust and thought:
Since every time you do something, time will advance, and judging from the fact that I only advanced one morning by handling things separately with the two rituals before, the first step is to expand the number of [Detectives].
At that time, multiple investigators will investigate together.
But...who can I ask for help?
In fact, he didn't even know how many residents there were in this place, no one knew.
Reliable people may not necessarily help you.
For example, the shining golden Gilgamesh.
If you ask him to use the power of his omniscient and omnipotent star, I'm afraid he won't be able to crack the mechanism in a second. The problem is that he will neither help himself nor use his precious ability in such a place.
Those who will help may not be reliable.
Take Iskandar for example. If you just ask for help, he will probably help in the end, but this big guy doesn't seem to be very good at assassination. Putting military strategy aside, this kind of killing and reasoning are obviously not things he is good at.
Moreover, we must also consider here whether these people are united and whether they really wholeheartedly agree. For example, if they agree verbally, but then who runs away?
A typical example is Astolfo. Although the reason why Astolfo didn't do it was because his rationality evaporated and he forgot about it, rather than because he really didn't want to do it.
Yagi Xuezai himself also felt that he was really not suitable to be a detective.
It would be nice if that Holmes could be more serious and work harder.
Yagi Yusei Saisei was looking forward to it in his heart. However, the fat guy just looked silly, which made Yagi find it hard to let go.
(No matter which plan it is, there is no way to find the most suitable solution... If you don't know the residents here, you can't deduce it. This time system is really the biggest obstacle... Even if you explore it before the two ceremonies...
...Even asking the residents will be counted as an action. In that case, just exploring how many people live in this tenth-floor apartment is enough to kill several people...)
Wait a moment?
Yagi suddenly thought of...
If the house-to-house survey will be conducted according to time... Then... wouldn't it be nice to just find someone who fully understands the structure of the apartment building?
"Mrs. Tamamo, do you have a list of the residents here?"
Yagi approached the lost Tamamo Mae. This woman with fox features was drooping her ears and tail, looking lost. When Yagi spoke to her, she shook her head: "James helped with the specific operations.
I only know the general situation."
"James..."
Speaking of which, Tamamo Mae also mentioned before that the old butler James is the owner of this place. James was already here when he came.
This person... is also very suspicious.
Just because I have known him before does not rule out suspicion.
Yagi originally wanted to find him to ask about the situation, but then realized that he was not in the underground hot spring area.
After asking Tamamozen about his location, Yagi rushed to the employee lounge.
Sure enough, he looked through the keyhole and confirmed that James was sitting inside, wondering what he was doing.
"Mr. James? Are you there?"
"Oh, oh yes. Please wait a moment, wait a moment... Wow?!"
The old housekeeper suddenly made a startled sound. Yagi was stunned, thinking something bad, and kicked open the door of the staff lounge...
I saw the old housekeeper sitting on the floor, holding a gray remote control in his hand, controlling the characters on the TV screen to fight. The huge monster was sweeping away, knocking away the little man in the screen.
Look at the green blood tank in the upper left corner suddenly turning red and empty...
Then the screen slowed down and the colors faded, obviously the game was over.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... two and a half hours of hard work...”
The old man lowered his head deeply, and his whole body seemed to turn gray.
"Um...are you playing a game?"
"Um……"
James has not yet come out of the shadow of failure, and he seems very disappointed.
In this way, Yagi can understand why he asked himself to wait a moment before, because in the middle of the boss battle, the wow sound was probably just because he did not correctly predict the enemy's battle, and was frightened by the boss's actions.
In an instant, the tense atmosphere disappeared.
"Um...I, I want to ask you for information on all the tenants here."
"Well, under normal circumstances, hotels cannot leak customer information at will."
James shook his head, touched his beard with one hand, and refused his request. He took two cans of carbonated drinks from the refrigerator in the corner and handed one to him.
"But, a murder occurred here."
"It has nothing to do with that. Since we are the ones renting out apartments, we cannot divulge customer information at will. If you want the information, you must go through the public prosecutor's office and show us the proper procedures to obtain the information."
Seeing that he didn't accept the drink, James opened a can and drank it first.
"What modern laws do you discuss among us followers?"
"Haha, that's true. However, we are not bound by the law and I must provide you with information. These two things are not related, right?"
James didn't fall into Yagi's logical trap at all. He jumped out in one step.
"...Can't you make an exception?"
Yagi Xuesai continued to plead.
Based on his past style, he would definitely choose to use threats here to get the other party to speak.
But for some reason, he felt that it wouldn't work this time. This James was obviously a piece of shit and wouldn't care about this method at all.
"It's not impossible to make exceptions. But why? Why is it necessary?"
James pushed up his glasses and showed a smile that always seemed a bit ominous.
