best villain

A man is lying on the ground.The eyes are wide open due to panic, and the hands and feet are unnaturally twisted, as if being hit by a car at 180 miles per hour. It is a horrible death, and ordinary people with poor psychological quality will absolutely vomit when they see this scene Everywhere.

Whether it's covered in blood or the bones are faintly visible, the visual impact it brings is huge.

Erica was indeed stunned for a moment.

But her psychological quality is unexpectedly strong.After just taking a deep breath, he regained his composure.

As a member of the Brontree family, Erica received more than noble etiquette education since she was a child. Although it was the first time she saw such a bloody scene with her own eyes, it was not so difficult to accept.

Maybe it's a matter of awareness.

Someone died, and the fact was right in front of the eyes.

Judging from the fluidity of the blood, the time of death was not long, so it is very likely that the murderer was somewhere in this building.Thinking about it, except for the venue where the banquet is held, there are almost no people in the corridors and front halls on each floor of the hotel.Even if it is a murder, as long as the body is thrown in an inconspicuous place, no one will find it for a while after the banquet is over, and the murderer has long since fled.

It was just a whim, I didn't expect to encounter such a troublesome thing, if I go back and tell those adults, I will definitely be asked 'Why did you appear on the scene? ''What are you doing there? ' and other troublesome questions, my uncle will definitely punish me at that time.

You have to figure out a way.

In order not to let herself be punished, Erica thought hard.

at this time.

Pa-ta--the sound of footsteps breaking the silence.

Erica stared blankly at the back of the boy who walked into the elevator.

I saw the waiter who was not a few years older than me squatting down.Put your hand on the crimson carpet, it is light red, what will turn into crimson, the answer is obvious.

"——It's still warm. Although it's an elevator in a sealed state, the blood exposed to the air can still keep warm, which only means that the time of death is not more than half an hour." Said, the waiter boy held his hand again. Put it on the neck of the corpse, feel it quietly for a while, and continue to talk to yourself: "Is the corpse the same? It looks right."

then.He checked the various parts of the corpse and the scene one after another.

It may be because there are no professional tools at hand.The autopsy process is relatively simple.

Several conclusions are also quite interesting.

A little summary can only lead to an incomplete clue: the deceased was a hotel staff member, and his occupation was also a waiter, but he could not find the deceased's staff card.There were many fractures all over the body, especially the joints of the arms and legs.It's not just as simple as a fracture.Fragile bone parts were even completely shattered.The internal organs seemed to be messed up by invisible hands.It is almost impossible to tell which is the kidney and which is the liver.The cause of death was excessive bleeding, but it had nothing to do with the internal organs of the hands and feet, but two small holes in the neck artery.The small hole about the thickness of a finger is the culprit that caused the deceased to bleed excessively to death.

Also, there is some half-baked reasoning.

For example, the murderer hasn't left the hotel yet.

The murderer should not be human or something.

Yes, the murderer is most likely not human.

Although it is only Ling Yi's preliminary inference...

"Have you worked as a forensic doctor?"

"How is it possible, I don't have the qualifications."

Ling Yi replied without turning his head. If he looked back at this moment, he would find Erica showing a ghostly expression.

Erica was silent for a moment.

"Well, aren't you afraid?"

"It's okay, it's more of a surprise than pure fear. After all, a corpse suddenly appears in front of you, no matter who you are, you will be surprised."

Ling Yi turned around and said with a bright face.

"..."

Erica stared at him wordlessly for a moment.

He swallowed the sentence 'That's right, but I don't think anyone would go up and touch the corpse'.

The young man in front of him could no longer be treated with common sense.

Although others seem to take it for granted...

Where did this guy come from?

"Hey, which association do you belong to?"

Erica asked abruptly.

It seemed that he wanted to catch the boy by surprise.

However, the result was not as she wished.

"I'm just a boy from a neighboring town, in other words, from the country. As you can see, I'm a waiter now. Ah, this happened, I hope I won't be kicked out, or I will be troubled." After Ling Yi smiled wryly, he scratched his head with an annoyed expression on his face, just like ordinary citizens who are afraid of getting into trouble and are constantly troubled by this.

In this regard, Erica narrowed her eyes and looked at him carefully for a while, and then made a serious declaration:

"If you lose your job...no, if you want to change your working environment, I can help you. [The door of the Red Copper Black Cross is always open to you, although you may have to start from the bottom, but with your quality Presumably it won't be a few years before you can face the honor of the commander-in-chief."

"Red...red copper...black cross? What kind of company is that? It sounds like a religious name."

Instead, the young waiter showed hesitation.

Erica could only shake her head slightly.

Knowledge in that area cannot be leaked to ordinary people, let alone ordinary citizens.

If the other party has something in mind, it's fine if they plan to step into that world.

But looking at this guy's appearance, it seems that he regards [Red Copper Black Cross] as a cult based on illegal profits, and his expression and tone are full of vigilance.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside first. How to deal with this corpse, or more specifically, how to deal with this incident?" Erica sighed lightly, but the young girl who was about ten years old often showed a mature appearance. On the one hand, fortunately Ling Yi is a 'nervous' person.

"Even if you ask me that." The boy frowned in distress.Pretentiously thinking for a while: "Sure enough, let's inform the foreman and the organizer of the banquet."

"No, absolutely not!"

Erica flatly refused, without leaving any room for it.

"Eh?"

"Anyway, this won't work!"

Erica put her hands on her hips and said in an unquestionable tone.

"Okay... Since this doesn't work, then call the police?"

"Does your brain only have the option of 'notify others'?!"

Facing the boy who was determined to let go of his burden, Erica was so angry that she wanted to beat him up.

Really, he was just a coward from the country.

It seems to be on his own.

As long as the real murderer can be found out smoothly, then the uncle is too embarrassed to punish himself.

Erica secretly made up her mind.

"But then again, it's really weird."

Ling Yi suddenly muttered.

"what?"

"The injuries of the deceased. Hands, feet, and internal organs. They were all damaged beyond recognition. The final cause of death was excessive blood loss, rather than hemorrhage caused by rupture of internal organs, or suffocation caused by the obstruction of the respiratory tract. It is simply too strange. .”

"You mean. The murderer had necrophilia?"

"I can't rule out this possibility. But what kind of method can be used to cause this level of injury to the deceased inside the elevator? You know, it is impossible for a person's strength to twist his hands and feet like this. There are also internal organs. No injuries can be seen from the surface, as if suffered an invisible attack, the internal organs were directly strangled. Also, the real cause of death-the two small holes reminded me of vampires, but vampires don't have teeth So thick, and what about the promised blood sucking? The amount of bleeding is about 60.00% of the human body, and that 60.00% just wets the clothes and carpet." Ling Yi said in a speechless tone while looking towards the elevator outside.

"Besides, there is no trace of blood outside. It means that the body has not been moved. This is the scene of the original crime. I can no longer understand the state..."

"No, you've done enough."

Erica, who listened attentively until she was dazed, finally came back to her senses, comforted the young man in an unnatural tone, and then fell into a state of deep thought.

The teenager's various analyzes seemed to imply something.

But maybe even the teenagers didn't realize it, the answer is right in front of them.

It's not because I can't think of it, but because I don't dare to think about it-probably that's it.

Erica thought in a complicated mood.

"Hey, Ian..."

"Um, do you like the name better?"

"Because it's more fluent, compared to this, I ask you a question, and you have to answer it honestly.

Erica said with a serious expression.

It's just that with that immature beauty, it will only make people feel cute.

"Well, you can ask."

"Who does Ian think the murderer will be?"

"Well... To be honest, although I am good at human medicine, my reasoning is a bit..." The latter words were replaced by an awkward wry smile.

"I never asked you to reason. I just wanted to ask you how you feel. Don't tell me that after witnessing such a scene and drawing all kinds of analysis, there is no guess. This is not in line with normal people's psychology. Although you have Not an ordinary person..." Erica said a little impatiently, and finally whispered something.

The boy showed a troubled look.

"If you want to talk about speculation, I just want to say that the murderer is definitely not human."

Erica suddenly opened her eyes wide, and then regained her composure.

"Why do you think so?"

"It's very simple, human beings can't do such outrageous things."

"I see, it's a very intuitive judgment." Erica had a strange smile on her lips, and then asked, "If I tell you, your guess is right?"

"Eh?"

Ling Yi was slightly taken aback.

Ignoring him, Erica stepped into the elevator, took a deep breath, closed her eyes——

Less than five seconds.

"—Sure enough, there is a breath of magic power, although it is too weak to be ignored, but I think it is to confine the magic power, no, it resides inside the body, so as to strengthen the body's power, and there is no relationship between spreading it out. Among the spells I know, it can be regarded as a relatively remote spell. If it were my uncle, I should be able to dig out the principle of the spell and distinguish its true face, and then the identity of the murderer will be revealed." Ellie Ka fell into a depression inexplicably, muttering self-blaming words such as "it's a pity" and "self-deficiency", and then cheered up again, regaining his previous self-confidence.

"Let's go."

"Wait, where are we going?"

"Take me on a tour of the hotel, and teach the assassin what the minimum etiquette is. You come here uninvited and commit suicide. As a guest, I can't just stand by and watch."

"Can you find it? That guy."

"Hmph, don't look at me like this. I have learned the most basic pendulum. Through the magic power left on the deceased, as long as the murderer has not left the hotel, I can find him."

Regarding Ling Yi's doubts, Erika first looked angry, and then said confidently.

It really has her style.

"is it?"

Ling Yi nodded imperceptibly.

"However, so what if you find it out?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Erica abruptly took back the steps she was about to take.

She sensed some special meaning from this sentence.

Some uncomfortably special meanings.

"Didn't I say that? Teach the assassin the minimum etiquette."

Erica didn't look back, her voice gradually cooled down.

"Or, are you questioning my ability? How dare you make irresponsible remarks to the next heir of the Brauntree family."

"No." Unexpectedly, the boy shook his head.

"I suggest that you don't have the idea of ​​catching him alive. After all, he is a dangerous guy who dares to kill and abandon his corpse. In my personal opinion, at least the ability to move must be abolished to ensure your safety."

"I.. my safety?"

Erica couldn't help turning her head, blinking her eyes, with an indescribable astonishment on her face.

"Yeah, after all, I'm just a temporary attendant. If you don't lose your job, your safety is naturally the top priority."

The boy said it naturally.

Erica was speechless.

For a moment, she even had the thought of 'it's okay to get hurt a little bit'.

(I can’t stop writing. Sure enough, I’ve read too many light novels about the King of Magic Bullets recently. By the way, I’ve only reached the ninth volume, so I’m going to finish it soon! But the author’s health can’t be helped, alas, Chasing books is tiring) (to be continued...)
