The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

"Please come in."

The three of Lu Nier walked into the room, and then Lu Nier found that there were canvases and paints in this room, and there was an unfinished painting on the canvas, but that painting might not be able to continue painting now, because A crack was torn on it, as if someone had scratched it with sharp claws.

"Are you a painter?"

"Well." Dess responded, "I'm not a native of the imperial capital, but a painter from other places. I was invited to the imperial capital to participate in an exhibition of young painters' works. I just arrived here not long ago."

Lu Nier felt a little familiar. After thinking about it, he realized that Angela seemed to have invited him to visit this art exhibition.

"Are you drawing fruit?"

Lunier pointed to several pieces of interlaced paints of different colors faintly visible on the canvas, indescribable things more like graffiti than children's graffiti.

"Is this a fruit?" Alonia looked at the canvas in surprise, "Xiaolu, no matter how you look at it, it's not a fruit, is it?"

Li Jie also looked at the painting, and she could tell from her eyes that she also agreed with Alonia's thoughts.

"You can see it?" But Des turned back in surprise, a little excited, "Yes, they are bananas, apples, grapes... I messed them up and combined them irregularly, which should have been It's my favorite painting..."

Lu Nier was also a little speechless, but he didn't expect him to be right.

Because he also thought this painting was like a child's graffiti, but the skill of painting Lv3 gave him a different appreciation of paintings than ordinary people, so when he saw the painting, he thought it was graffiti at first glance, But soon he felt that he could analyze a lot of things from this painting. It was hard to describe, but he could probably understand what this painting was, as well as the thoughts and moods of the painter.

"It's a pity that it was destroyed by that damn monster!" Des said a little depressed, "Just last night, before the monster escaped, it also tore up my painting. It's abominable!"

While speaking, Des took out a box from the drawer, opened the box, and presented it to the three of Lunier.

"This is my tooth that was pulled."

Lu Nier looked at it, and found that it was all bloody teeth, very oozing.

"I was in pain yesterday until I got better with painkillers. I dare not stop now. I'm afraid that if I stop the medicine, I will die from pain."

Looking at the teeth in the box, if they were forcibly pulled out, it would indeed cause severe pain as Des said, and it would not go away in a short time.

After all... think of people who don't want to have their teeth pulled.

"Where did that monster pull out your teeth?" Alonya asked.

"My bed."

Des thought for a while, and then suddenly lay down on the bed.

"I was sleeping and at some point the monster was next to my bed and put his hand in my mouth and started pulling my teeth."

"I immediately yelled for help, but the monster moved too fast and had amazing strength. After pulling out some of my teeth, it ran away when it heard someone coming."

"Where did you escape from?"

"balcony."

Alonia checked what Des said, where the monster appeared and stood, but there were no traces, and then followed the monster's escape route all the way to the balcony.

Looking downstairs from the balcony, the pedestrians on the road appear very small.

"On the fifth floor, if you fall from this height, most people will be seriously injured even if they don't die." Alonia said.

"That's why I'm so sure it's a monster!" Des said.

"Then the monster you're talking about, how tall is it?"

"About this high..."

Des thought for a while, stood up, and then made a gesture, and finally made a gesture that was a head taller than himself, about two meters tall.

"Where are its fingers? You should feel it when it puts its fingers in your mouth to pull out your teeth?"

"Because it was too painful, I didn't feel it..." Des replied, "When I woke up, that monster pulled out my first tooth."

If this is the case, it is understandable, after all, under severe pain, the perception will be numb.

"Who came to startle the monster last night?"

"The hotel staff, on duty at night, they have a spare key for my door."

"Wait, did the monster run away when they broke in, or when they knocked on the door or called you?" Alonia asked again.

"While knocking on the door."

"That is to say, no one has seen this monster except you?"

"Yes...but it's true! It's impossible for me to pull out my own tooth!" Des said a little excitedly.

Alonia didn't answer, but just showed a thoughtful expression, and then said to Lunier and Li Jie.

"You two come out with me, by the way, don't follow me."

After finishing speaking, Alonia turned around and walked out the door, followed by Lunier and Li Jie.

"What's the matter, Captain?" Lunier asked.

"Do a little experiment and open your mouth," Alonya said.

Lu Nier instantly understood what Alonia meant, and opened his mouth.

Alonia was also polite, she stretched out two fingers and stuffed them into Lunier's mouth, then pinched one of his front teeth.

Immediately afterwards, Alonia imitated the movement of wanting to pull out her teeth with her bare hands, and pressed on Lunier's teeth with a little force.

"No."

Alonya took out her hand, then took out her handkerchief and wiped it.

"Extracting teeth with bare hands is difficult. There is saliva in the mouth, and the surface of the teeth is relatively smooth, so it is difficult to apply force. And to take a step back, a person or monster with a height of two meters may have very thick fingers, and Des's mouth is not Big, if such a thick finger is inserted into the mouth, it is impossible to press it accurately on a tooth, and some of Des's fallen teeth are spaced one by one, as if they were pulled out one by one. Anyway, it doesn't look like a monster."

"But if it's man-made, then what is he trying to do?" Lu Nier asked, "It's impossible to break into someone's room for no reason, just to pull someone's tooth? And the fifth floor is so high, no matter who comes in It shouldn't be easy to leave or leave."

"I don't know about this for the time being, but it doesn't rule out that there are such perverts who climbed into other people's rooms for no reason to pull out their teeth. In short, let's appease the victims first and ask the hotel staff separately."

"it is good."

Alonia asked Des to stay in the room and not move around, and then took Lu Nier and the others to find the manager of the hotel.

Because of the investigator's status, the hotel manager cooperated very much and directly gathered all the employees related to this incident yesterday.

"Just these few people?"

A security guard and a cleaner as well as a front desk.

"Because they are on duty at night, the number of people is relatively small." The hotel manager replied.

Alonia didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked about last night's situation.

Just like what Des said, they all came here in a hurry after hearing the cry for help last night. Finally, the front desk opened the door with a spare key. After they opened the door, they found Dess lying on the bed with his mouth full of blood. So the security guard hurriedly carried him to a nearby hospital, but they didn't find anyone else in the room.

"Besides us, there are several residents who were also awakened and went to rescue the guest with us." The cleaner added.

"Who are they?"

Chapter 187 Drawing Fear (2)

The rest of them are all residents near this hotel, including young painters like Des.

It seems that many rooms on this floor of this hotel have been reserved by people, specially for the young people who are invited to come to the imperial capital to participate in the art exhibition, so there are other young painters here, after someone heard the voice last night, they also rushed Come and try to help Des who is calling for help.

But in the end they didn't play any role, they just became melon-eating onlookers.

There are also residents in the two houses next door to Des, because they are young painters who came to the imperial capital to participate in the art exhibition just like Des.

Koro and Robert, also both male, are around 20 years old.

Alonia also called these two people and asked some questions.

"After you heard the movement last night, did you notice anything unusual?"

"What does this abnormality refer to?"

"For example, there is the sound of something falling from a high altitude."

"No." "Me neither."

The two shook their heads.

The reason Alonia asked this was because she felt that if the monster really jumped from the fifth floor, it would definitely make a sound because of the fall.

And the two people closest to Des should be able to hear it.

But in fact, not only these two people didn't hear it, Alonia also asked the resident of the room in the vertically lower part of Des's room, if something fell, it should be outside his window, but he also asked heard nothing.

Not only that, the ground outside the window showed no signs of falling, no blood, no indentation, no footprints, etc...

Nothing, as if this monster never existed.

Of course, it is an indisputable fact that Des teeth were pulled out.

It was impossible for Des to pull out all his teeth by himself, and his screams were heard by everyone that day.

So in any case, whether it was a monster or something else that pulled Des's tooth, their mission is to catch the criminal who pulled the tooth.

Alonia began to search for traces of the monster in the hotel. First of all, it was Des's house. If there were any traces of the monster in this hotel, then Des's house was most likely to exist.

For example, the claw mark that looks like a monster.

Alonia looked at the claw mark, compared it again, and felt that if the claw mark was real, then the monster might not have pulled it out with fingers.

"Are you sure the monster put its finger in your mouth yesterday?"

"Uh……"

When asked this question, Des recalled it and was not so sure.

"I just felt that something was stuffed into my mouth, it should be a finger, but I don't know exactly, because when I woke up, a tooth had been pulled out of my mouth, and all I could feel was It hurts..."

Alonya looked at the claw marks, thinking about the possibility that the monster might have sharp claws, and then use the sharp fingertips to clamp the teeth and pull them out.

And one more thing is...

"Captain, I didn't find any other claw marks." Lunier and Li Jie reported.

"Aren't there any claw marks?"

"Nothing, on the bed, under the bed, sheets, window, floor... I've searched all over the room, but I still can't find any claw marks."

Lu Nier looked at the claw marks on the canvas and said with certainty.

"That's weird..." Although Alonia said that, she wasn't very surprised by the result from her expression.

"Did you make sure you closed the doors and windows last night?"

"I'm sure the door is locked, but the balcony window is unlocked. After all, I'm on the fifth floor. Who would have thought that monster would climb to the fifth floor and pull out my teeth?" Des said with a depressed face.

Alonya didn't speak, but just signaled Lunier and Li Jie to follow with her eyes, and the three of them went to the balcony to have a look.

The balcony is not very big, and there are balconies on both sides around it. These are from the next room. In the hotel design, all the rooms in this row have balconies, and the distance between the balconies is not short, so it is difficult to cross over.

Difficult to cross, but not impossible.

Even ordinary people may be able to easily leap between balconies with the help of tools.

Lu Nier realized a possibility, and so did Alonia and Li Jie.

The three of them checked the guardrail on the edge of the balcony at the same time, and found some obvious marks on the guardrail, which were quite new scratches.

And on both sides, there are similar scratches on the left and right sides.

"Interesting."

Alonya looked at the scratches, then returned to the house.

"Let's go to other places to investigate some other clues. You stay in the room and lock the doors and windows." Alonia instructed Des.

"But...Master Investigator, what if I'm attacked by that monster again?" Des said in horror.

"Isn't that just right? Then I can grab it."

After finishing speaking, Alonia ignored Des's request to stay and follow, and took Lunier and Li Jie to an empty place in the hotel to communicate.

"As always, I'll ask you what you think first, Xiaolu, you go ahead and talk."

"Okay." Lu Nier thought for a while, integrated his known clues, and expressed his guess, "I don't think there are any monsters at all, it's man-made."

"I think so too." Li Jie said in agreement.
