Then, he looked at the office workers, shop assistants, and female students, his eyes as sharp as knives, which made people tremble in their hearts.
The office workers, store clerks, and female students all turned pale. As the only girl, the female student was even more trembling.
Who is it?
Say it quickly!
I'm so anxious!
Hui Lijing couldn't help shouting in her heart, but she didn't dare to interrupt.
As a low-ranking detective, even though she is a low-ranking detective, she is still a detective. She still knows some of the detective's 'basic techniques'.
For example: Fraud!
There are roughly two types of fraud.
First, when you already know the general direction but cannot accurately judge, use words to stimulate the criminal to truly lock the target.
The second is to have no idea who the murderer is, and then use words to make the criminal reveal his flaws, or cooperate with some extreme measures.
As for how to choose?
That depends on the level of the detective.
A good detective chooses the first option.
Although she is excellent, she basically chooses the second option.
It doesn't matter whether she is a liar or not, the main thing is that she likes to convince people with reason.
physical, theory.
Ryousuke on the side frowned.
He is not very proficient in interrogation.
However, as an excellent criminal police officer, his rich experience told him that at this time, he needed to cooperate.
So, the next moment
"So that's it!"
After Ryousuke sighed slightly, an inexplicable expression appeared on his face.
There was disbelief, relief, and a trace of pity.
In short, it is as complicated as it needs to be.
After hearing Ryosuke's words, the expressions of the office workers, middle-aged clerks, and female students who had been struggling to support him all changed.
The three of them looked at each other, and the most inconspicuous middle-aged clerk among them took a deep breath.
"Sure enough, you were discovered by Officer Ryosuke."
"Although we have been carefully dressed up, in the eyes of an experienced detective like you, there are still many flaws, right?"
"Maybe you don't recognize it at first, but as time goes by, you will find it."
The middle-aged clerk said this and stood up straight.
The look of fear on his face was gone.
Not only this middle-aged clerk, but also office workers and female students.
Ryosuke was stunned.
Who are you?
However, the middle-aged detective did not deny it.
He has not forgotten that he is cooperating with Jason at this time.
Therefore, he nodded calmly.
"That's right."
"I didn't recognize it at first, but now I'm sure."
"And the injuries on my body...were they left specially for me and Iwashita to fight in order to prevent pain and fatigue from affecting my judgment?"
Ryousuke said and pointed to the injury on his arm.
"Um."
"It's a pity it's of no use to you."
"We still underestimated you and this...detective?"
The middle-aged clerk shook his head sadly.
Looking at Jason, he looked a little unsure.
It was only at this time that Hui Lijing finally came back to her senses.
The female detective raised her voice and said.
"You are all murderers?!"
Her voice was full of disbelief.
In Hui Lijing's mind, she narrowly defined the murderer as one person, and never thought that three people committed the crime at the same time.
"murderer?"
"We just want revenge!"
"Ten years ago, he killed my family!"
The youngest female student couldn't help but retort.
Wearing a short skirt and school uniform, with a haircut, a pretty face, and no makeup, the female student's whole body was filled with a youthful and lively atmosphere before, but at this time, she was only left with a frightening hatred.
.
A hatred that makes one's bones tremble.
She stared at Hui Lijing, causing the female detective to subconsciously tighten her grip on the gun.
Then, the female student turned around and looked at the hanging body.
"Ten years ago, he killed my father."
"Killed his mother."
"Killed his lover."
"Now, we kill him just for revenge!"
The female student pointed at the office workers and then at the middle-aged clerk, her tone gradually returning to calmness.
"Is he a wanted criminal?"
Hui Lijing frowned.
"certainly!"
"Moreover, he is also a famous wanted criminal."
"Ten years ago, I broke into and robbed three houses. Each time, I killed the owner and plundered the property. Then, I was arrested by police officer Ryosuke, but during the escort, I killed the escort and escaped."
The female student still answered.
Even Hui Lijing could hear the sarcasm in the female student's words.
"Feel sorry."
"It's my responsibility."
Ryousuke whispered.
Regret appeared on the middle-aged police officer's face.
If he had tried harder, Iwashita wouldn't have run away.
If he had tried harder, Iwashita could have been arrested directly.
If he had tried harder, the three innocent people in front of him wouldn't have blood on their hands.
"No, Officer Ryousuke, this is not your responsibility."
"Your efforts are beyond others' imagination."
"Thanks."
The female student bowed solemnly to Ryosuke.
The same goes for office workers and middle-aged store clerks.
However, when the three of them straightened up, the office worker spoke directly.
"We chose our way."
"We know this is illegal."
"But we have no choice."
"We can't wait any longer."
"We couldn't watch him roam free, so when this opportunity appeared in front of us, we didn't refuse the hatred day and night, which made us unable to choose."
The office worker's voice became louder.
The middle-aged clerk comforted the office workers.
It can be seen that the oldest person is the leader of the three.
After the office worker calmed down, he turned his head and looked at Jason, Ryosuke, and Hui Lijing.
"We don't mean any harm."
"I appear here just to trap you here temporarily."
"besides……"
The middle-aged man seemed to want to say something more, but finally shook his head.
"The first game is over and the murderer has been found."
"Now, the second round begins."
"The information you want to catch me is in the box behind the plaque."
After the female student finished speaking, the surrounding darkness enveloped the three of them.
Then, the three of them disappeared.
It wasn't until the three of them disappeared that Ryosuke and Hui Lijing suddenly woke up.
It wasn't until this moment that the two of them realized that this was not an ordinary murder scene, but an inexplicable environment.
Almost subconsciously, Ryosuke picked up the ladder again.
He wants to take down the box behind the plaque.
"Need help?"
Hui Lijing asked, but Ryousuke refused.
Hui Lijing didn't insist anymore, but looked at Jason.
"Jason how did you find out?"
"Are exorcists also trained as detectives?"
Hui Lijing asked.
I have professional skills.
Jason answered silently in his heart, but on his lips came the words he had often said.
"It's all obvious."
In the world of fantasy and reality where the female pastry chef lives, Jason often uses this sentence to fool everything. With the help of the female pastry chef to explain, there is no problem.
But the Hui Lijing in front of her did not have such qualities.
She tilted her head and thought for a long time.
The curly hair covering his forehead and eyes were tilted to the side, revealing his beautiful eyes.
It's a pity that these eyes are full of confusion.
Obvious?
Why didn't I see it?
Am I missing a lot of important clues?
Hui Lijing frowned, and after four or five seconds, she said something.
"Now that the results have appeared, the process is not important, right?"
Saying that, Hui Lijing looked at Jason expectantly.
After Jason was silent for a second, he nodded.
Because he didn't know how to explain it.
Silently, he missed the female pastry chef a little.
"Look at this box."
Ryosuke held the box behind the plaque in one hand and jumped down from the ladder.
The box is made of wood and is about the size of an adult's hand. It has no lock and can be opened directly.
Inside is a piece of paper with calligraphy written on it
I am arrayed in the east and have no eyes.
I am arrayed in the west and have no ears.
I am arrayed in the north, without arms.
I am arrayed in the south and have no legs.
…
Ryosuke frowned at the lack of words, while Hui Lijing looked even more confused.
After a moment, both of them raised their heads and looked at Jason.
"Did Jason find anything?"
Hui Lijing asked.
"It's the same handwriting as the letter left for us."
Jason said.
"We know this!"
"Besides this?"
Hui Lijing asked.
Then, as soon as she finished asking, she noticed Jason looking at her with a very strange look.
Hui Lijing looked very unnatural. She even thought her shoelaces were untied and couldn't help but look down.
"Perhaps this does not belong to the knowledge of the 'mysterious side', but I hope you can remember it."
"Never follow the enemy's steps."
Jason answered like this.
As he spoke, Jason walked towards the outside of the temple.
Until now, Jason still doesn't know what happened.
But one thing is certain, the man behind the scenes brought him here not for a tea party.
As for the words of new office workers, middle-aged store clerks and female students?
Jason wouldn't believe a word of it.
Before he learned not to follow the enemy's steps in the "Sleepless City", he had already learned not to believe anyone's words, especially the words of the enemy.
Maybe these three people didn't mean any harm.
Maybe these three people didn't lie.
but!
This does not mean that the person behind the scenes has no malicious intentions or lies.
The other party can completely deceive the three of them with lies.
Then, he paralyzed the three of them through their mouths.
This is a better approach than outright lying.
Because...office workers, middle-aged store clerks, and female students all trust each other.
Even if the other party tells a lie, the three of them will believe it.
Then, the three people will tell them this as if it were true.
But who can know what the real result will be?
Therefore, even if Jason could still sense the death energy on the three of them at this time and could easily determine their location, he would not go looking for them.
He could totally imagine that even if he found three people.
There will inevitably be a third and fourth game.
Even more entanglement.
With such entanglement, everything will become more complicated and confusing.
It is far better to start from the most direct place.
Once and for all!
Always the best solution!
Following Jason, Hui Lijing and Ryosuke were also thinking.
"Is there any countermeasure?"
"Can we force the three murderers to show up voluntarily?"
Ryousuke thought so.
Hui Lijing is much simpler.
"Jason must have discovered the murderer and went to chase the murderer."
Obviously, this is a limitation or habit of thinking.
Give me a chestnut (a good example, but chestnuts are not bad either)
Hui Lijing is on the first floor.
Ryosuke is on the second floor.
Jason was standing on the fifth floor
…
In the courtyard, the 'Frightened Deer' moved up and down, making a unique sound of bamboo and stone clashing.
While squatting, the water droplets rose and fell, causing ripples layer by layer.
The handsome man holding the folding fan gently tapped his palm with the folding fan. A smile appeared on the other person's fair cheek. He slightly narrowed his slender, fox-like eyes and looked at the ups and downs of the frightened people in the courtyard.
deer'.
The waiter walked behind the handsome man with delicate steps.
"Sir, those three people have completed the first stage."
"but……"
"The clue was immediately discovered by Jason."
"Then, Detective Ryosuke also discovered something was wrong."
The waiter said softly.
The handsome man was not surprised at all.
Instead, he nodded naturally.
"Of course."
"After all, he is an exorcist who has escaped dozens of pursuits."
"If we can't find even this clue, it would be really disappointing."
"As for Detective Ryosuke?"
"If he hadn't been too grumpy and upright, he would have already been a police officer based on his merits. Moreover, it was a case he handled. Such a discovery is what he should have done."
Having said this, the handsome man paused.
"Otherwise, how can we enter the second round?"
After saying that, the handsome man seemed to have discovered something interesting, and his expression became more and more joyful.
He raised his hand and waved.
The waiter immediately withdrew respectfully.
Then, the handsome man looked towards the courtyard.
I saw an old monk wearing gray rag robes appearing in the courtyard at some point.
The old monk was dirty and slovenly, and his face was dark.
However, those eyes are very bright.
At this moment, these bright eyes were staring at the handsome man.
"Monk Tongshou Temple, you are finally willing to show up."
The handsome man smiled.
The monk sighed and said nothing, just bent down and washed his hands in front of the squat.
Such a gesture made the handsome man's eyes light up.
He stood up from his kneeling position.
The folding fan in his hand was slightly opened.
He made several marks with one hand.
Woo!
A dark wind blew into the courtyard.
Dark clouds followed.
The stars are obscured.
The moon becomes dim.
Several skeleton warriors in armor appeared in the courtyard.
They drew their knives and surrounded the old monk.
The old monk calmly washed his hands and face, then shook his robe and looked at the handsome man.
Under the expectant and excited eyes of the handsome man, he knelt down straight and shouted in a very high voice
