Mary's Nineteenth Century

In the alley, there was a dead body.

One person died after being pierced through both ears, but no resistance wounds remained on his body.

On the ground, there was a string of blood-stained footprints.

Unlike the footprints found next to the coffins in the Brooklyn area, there are men's shoe prints next to the cemetery, but here are the footprints of women's shoes, and the size is also one size smaller.

If there were no two jerks and no accomplices, then it can be inferred that the murderer had cross-dressed.

Men's clothing was used in slaughterhouses and cemeteries, while women's clothing was worn in the street to kill people.

Obviously, this is a wise choice and fits well with two different locations.For example, there were few women in the former occasion, but this time women's clothing is more likely to reduce the victim's defense.

However, this is not the reason why there are no resistance injuries now.

In the past few days, Mary has long noticed that there are people stalking near the house.

Thanks to these unskilled monitors who took the initiative to send them to the door, allowing her to track down the identities of these people.

Don't forget that "M" has been lurking on Wall Street for several months to conduct immersive investigations in order to write and expose the real situation on Wall Street. He is no stranger to the intricate gangster forces there.

Those thugs who often charge into the battle will never forget them once they have met, and they can always find their origin by following the clues.

The origin of the corpse lying on the ground has been confirmed last night.

Andrews, one of the gang's killers, seems a bit out of his wits.Well, the last point is the evaluation given by Taoist.

Just as spies are not all capable of writing and martial arts, just as the broker Toby is just a fat man without combat effectiveness, a killer may also have a bad brain.

Still, Andrews shouldn't have been killed without a fight.

Wearing gloves, Mary brushed back the victim's back hair, and as expected, she saw a pinhole.

The needle was found five meters away, with a trace of blood on it.The material is not a common medical alloy, but a sharpened wood.On the top of the needle, a layer of black is painted over the color of the original wood.

This kind of needle, like some kind of blowing needle used in hunting in the mountain forest, is mostly found in the jungles of Central and South America.When hunting, apply anesthesia to the needle site to catch wild animals.

That is to say, the piercing monster first stunned Andrews with a blowing needle, then pierced his two ears, and left a line of writing on the wall.

Leaving aside the line "Death to the counterfeiter! I am the only warrior who can slay the demon S in the ear!", how did the Jars find the real culprit who blamed Toby's death on him in a short period of time? ?

When the Jars heard that the manager Toby had been killed, he wanted to find the impostor who blamed him.

Taking advantage of the situation, I found out that Mrs. Roman invited Mr. Minton to investigate the case, so if I want to get close to the two, it is possible that the praying mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

This is logical.If Andrews died near C University, Mary would not be too surprised, but this man died near her residence.

It is not difficult to find out that Mr. Minton is studying at C University, but it is another matter to know the exact address of Minton's family.Besides, it was only a few days before the incident, and the verification speed was too fast.

Mary didn't deliberately keep her address secret, but not many people knew her specific address, that is, more than thirty people.

Excluding the Zarmon possessing an information network, under normal circumstances, someone should have revealed her address to the Zarmon.The Zaer monster came near her house and found the stalker hovering outside the door. In this case, it was reasonable to kill Andrews instead.

Assuming that there is a leaker, the black hand who made the small hole image and pretended to be a ghost to induce Kenan to jump off the building, would the two be the same person?

With doubts, he searched the death scene carefully.

Huh?

Mary's gaze settled on the edge of the pool of blood on Andrews' body.There was also a dead body there, very small, not a human being, but a small snail.

It is a common species, which is a small snail in the grass on the roadside after a heavy rain, about the size of a fingernail.

The little snail was crushed by one foot.

The murderer stepped on it, leaving the footprint of a woman's shoe.

It wasn't that he stepped on it accidentally, but more like he stepped on it with some kind of disgust and crushed it several times.The powder of the snail shell was crushed, and the soft body inside was lumped together in a pool of blood.

"Snail, snail..."

Mary read in a low voice, as if a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, she looked up and saw the line of blood on the wall that read "Kill the Devil in the Ear", and she slowly laughed.

Not long after, the rented corpse truck also arrived.

I hope the autopsy can find more clues, such as the specific source of the toxin on the back of the neck.

Identifying the source of the poison, Mycroft never disappoints.

Even though the poison in the deceased was not common, he still identified that the poison came from a primitive tribe in the Amazon.

The locals are used to hunting with darts, extracting the mixed toxins of colored poison frogs and local plants, and applying them on the arrows.

Under normal circumstances, small animals such as hares can be killed instantly, but it takes an hour for the poisoning process to occur on the human body.

The poison blowing arrow has been improved into a poison blowing needle, which significantly reduces the amount of poison used.

"However, the poisonous needle that Andrews took is obviously different. The dose is reduced, but the toxicity is doubled. Those doses are enough to make him unconscious within a minute or two."

Mycroft pointed out a key point, "Blowing the poison needle sounds simple, but it requires high breathing strength and accuracy. If you want to buy poison in the Amazon jungle in New York, even the black market for drugs is not easy to come up with the formula. Drug."

There are investigations and the right to speak.

Mycroft visited the New York black market, but couldn't come up with a recipe for poison.

On the sidelines, it's not that he came late and was bought, but that some of them need fresh animals and plants. There are no goods on the black market for at least three months. They are seasonal plants and will not be available until tomorrow's spring.

"This means that Zarmon has either been to the Amazon jungle himself, or has a special purchase channel."

Mycroft made a comprehensive judgment, "Now, we may be looking for a murderer with rich hunting experience. He used to live in the Amazon jungle and was good at poison. He was active in the Brooklyn area of ​​New York. Because he was framed, Come to Manhattan and kill the imposter."

Mary agrees with most of the inferences, "One thing to add, it doesn't have to be him, it may be her. Killing people with poisonous needles is not a frontal fight, and the ear monster may also be a female."

This possibility is unlikely, but must be considered.

Wear men's shoes for a while, and women's shoes for a while.Agile, good at blowing poisonous needles, and can prepare poisonous prescriptions, such women are rare nowadays, but it does not mean that there are no such women.

Mary did not use herself as an example, and the 'Mrs. Roman' in front of her was also a member of the extraordinary crowd.

Mycroft: What a weird look.

"You're right, both genders are taken into account."

Mycroft quickly changed the subject, "The words on the wall read "I am the only warrior who can slay the demon S" in his ears. It cannot be a coincidence that S represents the "shaxberd" shown on the Ouija board, right?Do you have any thoughts on it?How to explain the strange behavior of piercing human ears? "

Mary took out a paper bag, "I think you can understand it after reading it. It was found next to Andrews' body."

Inside the paper bag was the shattered corpse of the snail.

Almost instantly, Mycroft understood.

What is In-Ear Devil S?

The ear monster didn't try to make a fuss, so he just yelled an explanation with a loudspeaker.

Snail (snail), the first letter is s.

If you look at the human anatomy diagram, the inside of the human ear is shaped like a snail shell.Its name Cochlea (cochlea), originally taken from the Latin snail shell.

"It's a bit absurd, but it's close to the truth. The demon in the ear that the ear monster wants to kill refers to the snail in the ear."

Mycroft couldn't understand why a person would think the inner workings of the ear to be demonic, but the jazz's behavior pointed to that inference.

Not a craniotomy with a big hole in the head, but a direct piercing of the ear.At the beginning, the ears of animals were cut open. They must have different structures from human ears, and they are not the snails in the ears that the ear monsters are looking for.

Until the corpse in the coffin was dug out, after the ears pierced the ears of the human corpse, the ear monster determined the ear demon he was looking for, and later developed to kill Andrews.

Mary also didn't know what kind of stimulation the ear monster had received, and why it regarded the ear structure as a demon to be eradicated.But from his attitude towards snails, the hatred of repeatedly crushing snail corpses on the ground is clear at a glance.

"We're most likely looking for a murderer who loathes snails so much that he can't bear any snail graphic."

Does it sound familiar?

Benny has arachnophobia, Kenan may have grandiose delusions, and it's not surprising to have an extreme aversion to snails.

Perhaps, disgust comes from an extreme psychological disorder.

The ear monster has experienced abnormal events caused by snails, which are related to ears and hearing, leading to the formation of a disease. Only by destroying the snail can the demon be eliminated.

The specific antecedents of the murderer's illness are currently unknown.

At the moment, both Mary and Mycroft felt a little joy because they found another lunatic.

It's right to be crazy.

The rare psychological and mental illness just shows that the previous inference may be correct.

This person may be related to Benny and Kenan. There is a secret pusher behind the successive accidents of sick people in New York.

If you find the ear monster, you may be able to follow the clues to find out who is behind the scenes.

Who will be the next to be pierced?

The ear monster left writing on the wall, specifically emphasizing that the killer who framed him was a counterfeit and killed him for this. The next victim must be meaningful to him.

Mary pointed out that at this stage, the possibility of Zar-ear monster killing indiscriminately is not high. He is killing people with a purpose, and may take revenge on Andrews's boss.

"A person who is proficient in using blow needles may have rich jungle hunting experience. Tracking skills are no longer a problem. It is normal to find the gang that Andrews works for."

Mycroft nodded, and took a list from his pocket.

He has not been idle for the past few days, starting from the perspective of possible knowledge of the gold manipulation case, combined with the fact that Andrews is from the Hungry Wolf Gang, he preliminarily determined who wanted to engage in an earth-shattering gold forced air battle.

"Maybe, it could have a new name: "Death List". "

Mycroft handed out the list, but he couldn't tell which of them the zaar would be after.

Mary took it and saw that there were 25 people on it.Among them are several speculators with familiar faces on Wall Street, and the speed of data analysis must be praised so quickly.

"I just provided an entry point, and you wiped out this group of people. As expected of you, Mrs. Roman, you are really quick to act."

I didn't ask the second half of the sentence. After Toby, a manager, died, there must be other hidden clues on Wall Street, right?

It's good to pretend to be confused about this kind of thing.

Mary still turned the topic back to the Zarmon, "Zarmon left the words "Death to the counterfeit! I am the only warrior who can kill the demon S in the ear!", the word 'only' in it is very spiritual .The ear monster doesn't need an accomplice, do you think there is a possibility that he will kill the black hands who provide help first in a flash of his brain? "

This is a good question.

After all, don't guess what a mental patient is thinking.

If the estimate is 100% accurate, you need to ask yourself if you are also sick.

Rebellion in the nest, is it possible?
