Chapter 177 What a coincidence you are paddling too
Calvados's backpack was carried away by a woman and abandoned in this house, which shows that the woman who killed him may have been here.
But this is not her home - after a simple search just now, Toru Amuro saw a family photo thrown randomly in the corner of the bedroom. The mistress in the photo was bloated and completely different from the murderer seen on the surveillance camera.
After hearing that Shiraishi said there were clues, Toru Amuro immediately entered the house and unexpectedly saw a corpse lying in front of the computer desk.
"This is……"
When he got closer, because Shiraishi had touched the computer interface, the most eye-catching thing at the moment became the plate of sashimi on the table.
"Puffer fish sashimi." Toru Amuro briefly inspected the body on the table and quickly came up with a guess:
"Although it's not certain yet, this man probably died from tetrodotoxin - another homicide disguised as an accident.
"And there is nothing valuable in the drawers of this house. I am afraid that like Calvados, he has also been robbed.
"——I probably know what's going on. They met the same vicious 'Black Widow'." It was very inconvenient for the woman to scream, so Toru Amuro simply made up a codename for this person.
Shiraishi nodded in agreement. Judging from these two murder cases, the "Black Widow" seemed to be a scumbag who specialized in deceiving the feelings of middle-aged wealthy men, and then killed them to extract money.
Just in case, Toru Amuro took a few photos of the man's face and sent them to the organization, asking them to check whether the man had anything to do with the organization.
"If this Nishiyama affair has nothing to do with the organization, it means that Calvados just died in an ordinary serial murder case." Toru Amuro just visited the house of "Escape King" and already knew the name of the male owner.
.
"Calvados has good abilities, but he really can't walk around when he sees a beautiful woman. It's quite reasonable that he fell into the hands of a murderer because of his lust."
After revealing the secret of his late colleague, Toru Amuro added: "The murderer probably regarded the necklace that sealed the memory card as an ordinary necklace, and we still have time to recover it.
"If we can find Xishanwu's mobile phone, we might be able to find clues about that woman. If not... we can only use stupid methods and continue to cast a net to investigate surveillance."
When he was looking around, Shiraishi glanced at the screen and did not see tasks such as "capture the murderous scumbag" or "rescue the middle-aged uncle", so he decided to deal with the case of the magician's granddaughter first.
Going to the party with a mask is safer than using the main body. Toru Amuro has to investigate the case anyway, so it is better to cheat him with this mask buff extender.
Although it may not be possible to deceive him, at present, the deceased's mobile phone cannot be found in the room, and there are currently no more clues about the "Black Widow". Going to a gathering of magic enthusiasts may yield unexpected results.
With this thought in mind, Shiraishi walked to the computer, held the mouse, and pulled down the interface.
Soon, he raised his finger to the computer screen and called Toru Amuro over: "When I came here, this was the picture on the screen."
Toru Amuro came closer, looked down, and saw two lines of bright red words:
"This is the second
——Shadow Mage"
The information is actually subtly different from before, but the good thing about electronic text is that it is not easy to detect traces when modifying it.
Toru Amuro didn't know that this was a revised message. He frowned slightly and read the information inside.
If Calvados is the first one, and the man in front of him is the second one, it just matches the message.
But in his opinion, it is unlikely that the Black Widow is so skillful in pretending to commit suicide and hiding from surveillance that this is her first time committing a crime.
In addition, there are several doubts - since you used pufferfish to disguise suicide, why did you leave such a murderous message?
Moreover, the door here showed signs of being pried in, but there were no signs of being broken into on the door of Calvados' house.
Judging from the current known situation, the Black Widow's method of killing is to gain the victim's trust, enter the home as a lover or mistress, and then wait for an opportunity to poison and drug the victim. There is no need for her to pry the door open.
If anything, this is more like two cases mixed together - the black widow killed someone first and left, and then another person broke in and left a message on the computer.
...Things are getting more and more troublesome.
Fortunately, the information that was lost was the organization's information, so there was no need to worry too much.
——On the way to search the room just now, Toru Amuro received news from the person responsible for the surveillance. He found no trace of the Black Widow in the several points he marked.
If Matsuda Kuroye's intuition hadn't worked and led him to this house, the clues might have been broken.
Rather than slowly sifting through surveillance, the second "murderer" who comes to kill is more likely to have information about the Black Widow.
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro took the mouse from Shiraishi and browsed the web page.
Afterwards, he told Shiraishi his conjecture and his next thoughts.
Seeing Matsuda Kuroye sometimes nodding along with his words, sometimes falling into deep thought, Amuro Toru felt at ease, and once again had the feeling of watching her juniors grow up, and the wounds on her hands didn't seem to hurt that much.
The two quickly reached a consensus and decided to start with the Magic Lovers Alliance and continue their investigation.
After notifying the organization's logistics personnel to come and deal with the aftermath, the two of them discussed how they should sneak into the party and planned to leave.
At this moment, the computer beeped.
The two of them were startled, and turned around at the same time. They saw a new message notification in the upper left corner of the forum, which seemed to be a private chat.
When he clicked on it, the person's ID of the letter showed as "Disappeared Pani". Shiraishi remembered that this was the second target of his granddaughter Tanaka Takahisuke.
The chat history is fourteen to five pages long and spans more than a year.
The relationship between these two people is not too close, but they may have a common conversation during the process of venomous exchanges, and they occasionally chat a few words.
The last few records were all sent today, and it was the deceased "Escape King" who talked to the other party first.
[Escape King 10:19:54
How do you plan to go to the offline party tonight?]
[Escape King 10:25:16
I remember that you also live in Mihua Town? I originally wanted to take my wife with me, but she was temporarily unable to go. So I want to find someone else to go with me, so that the road will not be boring. Do you want to come together?]
Then came the reply from the "disappeared Pani":
[Disappearing Pani 14:32:21
Okay! We happened to be discussing a magic trick on the way. When we get there, you can help me and we can really scare them, haha]
...This is really a sleepy night. Someone gave me a pillow.
"I got the identity." Toru Amuro laughed. He thought for a while, typed a few lines on the keyboard with his hand that was not very flexible, and pressed Enter to send.
…
Tanaka Takakue finally found out the address of the "Escape King" and prepared to come and kill him.
a few hours ago.
When she was approaching the door of Escape Wang's house, she saw a woman wearing a sun hat and sunglasses walking out of Xishan's house, dragging a large suitcase.
The woman locked the door with her backhand, wiped the house key clean, and threw it back into the house through the window. She then looked around and left quickly.
Tanaka Takahisa hid in the corner and waited for others to leave before arriving at the door of Nishiyama's house.
The woman just now was a little strange, but now her mind was full of murder plans and she had no time to think about it. She walked over and rang the doorbell, but no one came to open the door.
Under doubt, Tanaka Takahisa opened the lock and entered the room - the door lock of Nishiyama's house was not complicated, and for a person who was raised by a magic master, there was no difficulty in opening it.
When he found the "Escape King", Tanaka Takahisa was surprised to find that he was already dead.
She was at a loss for a moment, then thought of the woman who had left just now and covered her face.
...Did she kill the person?
Although I don’t know who Xishan Wu has offended, but in any case, as long as the person is dead.
Tanaka Takahisae left a message on the computer as planned.
Then she hesitated for a moment, then pretended to be the "Escape King" and sent a private message to "Disappeared Pani".
Before, she was struggling to find the "disappeared Pani", so she could only plan to kill him in an offline party - this person is not like the "Escape King". The Escape King Xishanwu is the chairman of the Magic Lovers Alliance and a high-profile person.
, it’s easy to find traces.
And now, if you can use the account of "Escape King" to invite "Disappearing Pani" who has some friendship with him in advance, and secretly kill him like you killed "Escape King", you won't have to go to the party to kill people.
.
There are too many people who are proficient in magic at the party. If they are caught and stopped, things will become very troublesome.
However, after sending a private message, no one responded. The other party may not be looking at the computer.
After all, Tanaka Takakue had never killed anyone before, so she felt guilty staying next to the corpse. She was also afraid that someone would come back suddenly, so after waiting for more than ten minutes and no reply, she could only leave in a hurry.
