Bandage fine tricks

Ten minutes later, Hachi took Miura Haru's hand, and under the leadership of Police Officer Takagi, he arrived at the platform of the station where the homicide occurred.

"Miss Miura, could you please explain why you sent flowers to the deceased, can you?" Officer Takagi took out his small notebook and began to prepare to take notes, "Ah, you can go directly to Xiaoba's words, the murder happened on that platform, they I know you, so I won't stop you." Noticing that Hachi was still beside Haru Miura and didn't leave, Police Officer Takagi subconsciously thought that Hachi was worried that he would be stopped if he went to check the scene, so he said.

After all, as a newly famous little detective in the Metropolitan Police Department, on the premise that she doesn't like being photographed and interviewed, although the name of Miss Xiaoba's detective has started to spread, it can't compare to the media headlines and headshots every time she solves a case. It's almost the Kudo Shinichi classmate who has a face.

The scene is so close at hand, as a detective, it is time to look carefully at the scene to find clues, maybe the case will be solved soon - Takagi thought so.

"Ah, it doesn't matter if you watch the scene later, I'm not the reasoning maniac of the new senior, every time I encounter a murder scene, my brain rushes forward... In the end, I can only be regarded as a third-rate novelist at best. "Xiao Ba said indifferently, and only lightly clenched Miura Haru's icy fingers—ever since he knew about the murder, Xiao Chun's fingers had been so cold, and he couldn't warm them up...

Takagi: "...Xiao Ba, what you said like that really makes us feel ashamed..."

"I've never considered myself a detective, not now, and never will be."

Xiao Ba closed one eye, said casually, and at the same time quickly glanced across the crowd blocked outside the yellow line.

Although due to her height, the owner of that line of sight did not appear in her field of vision, but the amazingly long stick that was exposed over the shoulders of the crowd in front helped its owner to win the existence of who did not know whether it was right or wrong. feel.

...It was the customer from the next table in the dessert shop just now, and they came here because of curiosity?

The green feathers fluttered down with the wind, and a green parrot flapped its wings and flew over. After circling over the heads of the crowd for a while, it landed and landed firmly on the top of the stick.

Xiao Ba took a look and looked away.

The stick is a bit strange, not like a simple wooden stick, but if it is a metal stick, the weight density and the occasional sound of hitting the ground are not right... Special weapons?

That parrot looked familiar.

Is it the hair-shedding monster that wandered around the house before?If so, it's a shame that it dared to get close to itself.

But the breath seems to be a bit different... Isn't it the same one?

Listening to Miura Harun's answer to Takagi's question, Xiao Hachi was distracted by thinking about the parrot and the boy who followed him all the way from the dessert shop, until Miura Haru put everything he knew After finishing speaking, Officer Takagi thanked her for her cooperation, and asked her to take her to the lounge vacated by the station to rest for a while, and then continued to ask other people.

In the lounge, Xiao Ba poured a cup of hot water for Haru Miura and stuffed it into her hand.

"It's okay, right? It's just a routine questioning by the police. There's no need to be so nervous."

The paper cup of hot water forced into the palm of his hand warmed his cold fingertips. Miura Haru put the paper cup close to his cheek, letting the hot air fumigate his eyes, so as to cover up the possibility of being found with red eye sockets: "Mr. police officer said...that girl It was pushed down..." There was a crying tone in her voice that she didn't realize, "Is it because...Xiaochun gave her the bouquet and made her a target?"

If I hadn't accepted that task and sent the bouquet over, wouldn't that be... wouldn't she be pushed down?

"Of course not, what are you thinking, Xiaochun..." Xiao Ba sighed, "If someone really wants to kill her, before the murderer is found out, even if you don't go, someone else will send flowers—that The task is not sent to you alone, but to many people, and it depends on who completes it first, right?"

She poked Miura Haru's forehead relentlessly: "Don't be too self-aware—the murderer will kill at any time, do you think it's the victim's doing something wrong?"

how come!

Haru Miura shook his head desperately.

"Yes, it's not that the victim did something wrong, it's that the murderer did something wrong! So...so..." Xiao Ba elongated his voice, and poked Miura Haru's head harder with his hand, hating iron for not being steel , "People who really should repent don't repent. What are you doing here to take the sins that are not your own, eh?"

As soon as her ending sound was raised, it inexplicably revealed a hint of threat.

Miura Haru's forehead flushed red from being poked immediately burst into tears: "Don't poke Xiaochun to know that you are wrong... It really, really hurts..."

"Huh!" Xiaoba withdrew his hand, went to the door to ask police officer Takagi, confirmed that Miura Haru had nothing to do here, so he went straight back, took Miura Haru's hand, "Let's go, the police officer said you can go back, originally came Asking you is just wondering why two people who obviously don't know each other would send flowers—by the way, this time the treat is postponed, don't think that if there is an accident, you can escape the treat!" She did not forget to add.

For some reason, this action made Miura Haru calm down from the flustered heart after knowing the murder. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, showing a smiling face with tears in her eyes: "What! Xiaoba remembers desserts... ..."

"This is my legitimate right—by the way, where is your family from?"

"Ah, it's next door in Bingsheng Town. Next time you have time, please invite Xiaoba to Xiaochun's house as a guest!"

"I'm fine with delicious treats."

Miura Haru just wanted to complain that Xiaoba was full of brains, and suddenly heard someone calling herself in the crowd, and when she turned her head, she suddenly opened her eyes in surprise: "Dad!" Her father, Miura Haruyo, ran with his head full Khan, when he came over, he immediately hugged his daughter into his arms, and Miura Haru was shocked: "Dad? What's the matter, what's the matter, Dad, aren't you in class today? Why did you come here?"

Miura Haruyoshi just wanted to say that he had received a text message when he saw the girl next to his daughter put her index finger in front of her lips and made a slight "shh" movement. He suddenly realized what was going on and changed his words: "I heard There was a murder case here, I remember Xiaochun, you told me that you had an appointment with a friend nearby, so you rushed over to check the situation, are you okay?"

After this kind of thing happened, I lost my mind to continue shopping with my friends, and my father rushed over worryingly. After a while, my mother also rushed over. After Miura Haru said goodbye to Xiaoba, he was accompanied by his parents. I left first.

The curly black-haired girl smiled and waved goodbye to her friends who had gone away. Seeing the family of three getting into the car, the smile on her lips slowly disappeared.

Xiao Ba took off his glasses.

The moment the different-colored pupils were exposed, the gentle aura in front of his friends was completely restrained.

"Jungle...?" Hanging his glasses on his collar casually, Xiao Ba raised his hand and tucked the hair on his cheeks behind his ears, and returned to the station where the yellow line had been pulled up to prohibit the entry and exit of irrelevant personnel, " Mu Police Department, what's the matter?"

She smiled and greeted Mu Mu Shisan, who was still in a very heavy figure. The hot summer and heavy work did not have the slightest impact on the weight of this police officer with a strong sense of justice.

Either positive or negative.

"Ah, Xiaoba! Just now I heard Takagi said that I met you, I wonder when you will come over!" The eyes of the Mumu Police Department lit up, "This case...is a bit tricky!" He looked at the monitor in his hand Video, sighed in embarrassment.

This video is a surveillance video from the station facing the platform, which happened to capture the whole process.

Xiaoba took the tablet handed over by the Mumu Police Department, clicked on the video, roughly estimated the time, and jumped to more than an hour ago.

"This person is the victim." The Mumu Police Department pointed to the woman who just appeared on the edge of the surveillance screen, wearing a white gauze skirt, a sun hat, and holding a light-colored small bag in her hand. I was looking at my phone, occasionally raised my head and looked around, as if I was looking for something.

It seemed that she had found it. The victim squeezed into the crowd and squeezed abruptly to the edge of the platform. After standing still, she breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at her phone again.

After a while, Harun Miura appeared in the picture, holding a large bouquet of gorgeous roses in her arms. The young and beautiful girl looked around happily. Soon, her eyes locked on the victim by the platform. He ran over and seemed to be yelling something—judging from the shape of his mouth, it should be something like "Let’s go, please let me go"—squeezed to the edge of the platform, and handed the bouquet in his arms to the victim .

The victim's expression was surprised and pleasantly surprised. She didn't know what Harun Miura said, but she accepted the bouquet.

"Judging from Ms. Miura's testimony, what she said here is 'a mysterious person asked me to give it to you, I hope you can accept it!'" Takagi added on the side after finishing the transcript.

After giving the bouquet to the victim, Miura Haru looked down at the phone, then seemed to have noticed something suddenly, pushed away the crowd and ran out of the station with a look of shock—Xiao Ba glanced at the monitoring time , let out a cry: "At this point in time, there are only five or six minutes left before the time we agreed to meet. No wonder she ran in such a hurry."

It is about 10 minutes away from the station to the flower bed fountain in Mihua Avenue. It seems that Miura Haru ran all the way after noticing the time.

After Haru Miura left, the victim was still standing on the side of the platform with a bouquet in his arms, and carefully avoided the crowd who were about to get on the train because the tram arrived.

"Strange, didn't she squeeze to the front to board this tram?" Takagi asked doubtfully.

"Maybe it's too crowded this time, is she going to take the next one?" Mumu Police Department guessed, the surveillance footage is not very clear, but you can also see the crowds in the tram.

When the tram left the station, the victim returned to the previous position, occasionally looked up to look around, or buried her face in the bouquet to inhale the fragrance of flowers, but more often, she continued to hold the bouquet with one hand. look at the phone.

"Are young people nowadays so inseparable from their mobile phones..." Mu Mu frowned.

Xiao Ba didn't speak, just continued to watch, more and more people gathered around the platform on the screen, almost to the point where everyone was close to each other, the victim was standing behind the yellow line of the platform holding a bouquet, but Also because there were too many people, he was pushed forward two steps.

At this moment, a teenager stepped on a skateboard and quickly slid into the screen from the entrance, quickly slid to the front of the poster wall and even made a turning movement. After finishing, he immediately took out his phone and looked at it. At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd—because there were too many people before, the platform was quite crowded, and the skater boy was coming at such a fast speed that those who approached him subconsciously backed away, exerting force along the The crowd passed one by one, and the crowd suddenly became chaotic.

The victim, who had just been pushed forward a few steps, was about to return to his original position, but his body suddenly fell backwards and fell off the platform—the murderer who pushed people on the surveillance screen was blocked by the chaotic crowd beside him, Only one pair of hands is shown in the frame, and the only distinguishing feature is a watch on the right wrist.

The screen freezes here.

Mumu Police Department pointed to the hand on the freeze frame, and said: "We have already found the person wearing this watch, but he..."

"Does not admit that he did it, and has a full alibi, and as for the watch, he is said to have picked it up on the side of the road."

"..." Mumu Police Department opened its mouth wide, and it took a while to realize, "Takagi, did you tell Hachi?"

Takagi shook his head desperately.

"Then how..."

"It's very simple. They are all being used. The real murderer is neither the person wearing the watch you found nor the person who pushed the person." Xiao Ba lowered his head and finished typing the message on the phone, sent it, and then raised his head Come on, said, "Mumu Police Department, do you have any other surveillance videos? It's not from the platform side, but from the second floor where you can see the panorama of the platform."

Among the crowd, the eyes of the green parrot changed slightly.

"Yes, yes... why do you want that?" Mumu Police Department asked while calling up the surveillance camera video that met Xiaoba's requirements from the tablet, "Also what you said just now is neither the person wearing the watch nor the person wearing the watch." What does not someone we found mean?"

"It means..." Xiaoba just wanted to continue, but suddenly stopped, and after a second or two, she said with an inexplicable expression, "Mumu Police Department, participating in crimes without knowing it... the Metropolitan Police Department will How to deal with it?"

"It depends on the situation. If you really don't know, you can only criticize and educate." Mumu Police Department was puzzled.

Xiaoba didn't speak, just looked down at the surveillance video for a while, she turned on eight times the speed, and the crowd on the screen moved extremely fast, at a certain point, she suddenly adjusted the video speed back to normal, and after a while, the picture was frozen: "This is the man."

She held the tablet up and showed it to the other two.

Police Department Megure & Officer Takagi: "...Huh?"

No, is there too much drama in the middle, why can't they understand it?

I heard that the famous detective in Yokohama solved the case very unbelievably. Has Xiaoba got into the habit of that famous detective after staying in Yokohama for more than a month?

"Can you explain what's going on here?" Mumu Police Department looked at the screen on the tablet with a huge head, "If it's really this person... I'm afraid he would have run away by now?"

"No, I suspect he's still on the second floor." Xiao Ba said, and took the lead to walk to the second floor. "Do police officers Megure and Takagi know about Jungle?"

"Ah, it's a very popular game recently, right? I heard it's very interesting!" Officer Takagi said, "By the way, just now Miss Miura said that she accepted the bouquet in the game to give the bouquet to the white skirt and hat on the platform." It's a female mission, so she gets close to the victim, the name of the game is Jungle, isn't that what it's called?"

"Jungle is a game that can release tasks in reality and reward points after completing the tasks. For example, if Officer Takagi and I are both players, I can issue a task to Officer Takagi and ask him to buy a drink and put it in a designated place. When Police Officer Takagi accepts this task and completes it, the system will award points after the judgment is completed.” Xiaoba said, “Players can issue tasks to players, so if I want to kill someone, but I don’t want to attract the police by myself.” Doubt, what should I do?"

Mumu Police Department is not a fool, he immediately realized something, his face changed drastically: "In the monitoring screen of the platform just now, so many people were looking down at their mobile phones... Could it be that!?"

"If the police have cracked the victim's mobile phone password to enter, you should be able to see the icon of Jungle - the victim herself is also a Jungle player, and she should have received a message like 'Arrive at XX station on platform 1 at what time." , close to the XX position of a few carriages, and stay at the target position for XX minutes' task.” So when the victim walks into the monitoring screen with the mobile phone, he is confirming the position displayed in the task on the mobile phone, looking up and looking around, it seems to be The appearance of looking for something is actually looking for the target position.

"Afterwards, I looked down at my phone from time to time to check if it was time. There should have been a few requests in the middle that required her to change places." Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why she looked at her phone from time to time and stopped by the platform for a while. The move back to the original position.

"Xiaochun's flower delivery is to let the hands-on players confirm the target, the woman in a white skirt and hat holding flowers, and the second is to make the victim unable to catch the people around him in time because his hands are holding things when his body loses balance. Or things can save themselves.” One hand is holding the mobile phone to confirm the task, and the other hand is empty. If the body loses balance, the other hand can quickly react and grab nearby objects, so the murderer sent the victim a A large bouquet was made, ensuring that the victim had no free hands.

When losing balance, if there is something in the hand, the reaction speed of most people's brains is too late to deal with the complex reaction of "throwing away the thing in the hand to grab something to keep the body balanced", and many people fall to the ground, I didn't even think about letting go of what was in my hand.

"The proportion of young people in the gathered crowd is too high, and everyone is looking down at their phones, which is unreasonable-this is also a player driven by missions, but unlike the victims, they They come here in batches, as long as you stay at a certain place on the platform for about 3-5 minutes, you can leave. The murderer should be released in batches, so it seems that there are people coming and going on the platform, and there are people coming and going. When people leave, it becomes denser for some reason.”

While talking, several people had already reached the second floor, Xiaoba was leading the way in front, Megure Police Department and Takagi followed one step behind, looking at the business signs around, Megure Police Department suddenly realized one thing: the direction to go... is not In the end, did Miss Xiaoba show them the surveillance footage of the coffee shop?

"The last skater boy who appeared was also a player from Jungle. His task was to show off his skills. The crowd turned his show off into a source of chaos. Taking advantage of the crowd's chaos, pushing and shoving affected the balance of the victim. At that time, the real hired killer pushed the victim off the platform-as for why he created such a troublesome situation just to push a person off the platform, on the one hand, the killer he hired who was willing to kill was short and very tall. feature, once captured by surveillance cameras, they will be targeted by the police immediately. I suspect that the killer should be suffering from dwarfism or short stature. Feeling aloof, looking at everything and moving towards your own plan, it is like watching a real stage play. The script of this stage play is still written by myself. The satisfaction is no less than that of the author seeing himself. The book was adapted for the screen."

"Am I right, in order to watch the curtain call of the stage, I still watch the police coming and still watch in place, and regard the busy figures of the policemen as the funny curtain call personnel, so that the joy of my success can last longer, Mister Murderer?"

In the window of the coffee shop where you can clearly see everything that happened on the platform on the first floor, the man who was pointed out by Xiaoba on the surveillance screen just now is still there!

"Miss, I don't know what you're talking about?" The man looked puzzled, "What stage and curtain call..."

"Because this is a pure deduction without any evidence, so you have nothing to worry about?" The black-haired girl with different eyes sighed in no surprise, "...If you think about it this way, you really don't care about people—— Jungle records all the details of the tasks you released. No matter how detailed you split the tasks, or even subcontract them to other players in batches, let them continue to subcontract to other players and turn around multiple 'dealers'. You can't hide the fact that the source of the mission is with you."

Officer Takagi has already stepped forward: "Police, please cooperate and hand over the phone to me."

The man seemed very submissive: "Ah, yes, yes, Mr. Police Officer, I will cooperate, but you have to return my innocence. I can't understand what that girl is talking about..." He said The mobile phone on the table was handed to Takagi.

"It's not up to you whether you understand or not."

The girl with black hair and different pupils casually picked up the table knife on the table beside her, and smiled at the man——at the same time that the man had an ominous premonition, she flicked her wrist quickly, and the table knife flew straight like an arrow. Shoot him!

what! ?

When encountering an attack, the man reflexively raised his hand to block it, and a green electric arc spread out from his palm, stopping the knife at once.

"Xiaoba, Xiaoba!?" The Mumu Police Department had no time to stop it, and even blurted out the cry at this time: Why suddenly attack people?

"Officer Takagi, please ask him to hand over the second mobile phone. The mobile phone on the table is used to hide people's eyes." The girl didn't even change the arc of her smile, "Jungle, except for e-level players, Every time you level up, you can get some insignificant abilities. The higher the level, the more powerful the abilities, but once you leave the mobile phone loaded with Jungle, the acquired abilities will be lost. It’s more like borrowing a little bit of power through the phone.”

Takagi listened in a daze, then subconsciously said: "Please hand over your mobile phone..."

"What are you kidding!" Losing the mobile phone with Jungle, he completely turned back to an ordinary person without any supernatural powers - when this realization clearly surfaced in his mind, the man opened Takagi's hand without hesitation, and a green arc Jump hands again.

Oops, people with special abilities!This is no ordinary police station can deal with people!

The Mumu Police Department just wanted to tell Takagi to get out of the way, when he heard a ding-dong sound: it was the music set up by the coffee shop to welcome the guests.

"Tsk... I know it's nothing good." Holding his neck, the young man in blue uniform pushed open the door of the coffee shop and walked in with a particularly tired expression, "The unregistered ability uses ability in public, please come with us. "

Who is this? !The man just felt that today's unexpected events one after another were simply unimaginable, almost reaching the bottom line of his psychological endurance: "Why should I listen to..."

His vision suddenly vacated, and the man didn't realize that he had fallen to the ground on his back until he felt a sharp pain in his back.

There was a sudden pain in his chest—the young man in a blue uniform with a sword around his waist stepped on his chest mercilessly: "Please be honest, I don't really want to use violence."

That being said, there is no sign of "not wanting to use violence" in his actions.

"Mr. Fushimi, you ran too fast... Ah, is it over?" At this time, Hidaka Xiaocai, who was on the mission with him, just ran to the door and complained, but when he saw the subdued person inside, he was wise He swallowed his complaints back.

"Now that we're here, come here and tie him up and take him back!" Fushimi Saruhiko kicked the man's hand that was trying to resist, and cut open his clothes with a knife. A mobile phone fell out, and he directly used the heel of his shoe The mobile phone was kicked away, and the green arc jumping on the man's hand disappeared immediately.

"Yes!" Higao Xiao quickly ran over to tie him up, Fushimi Saruhiko went over to pick up the cell phone, then grabbed the unsuspecting Hachi by the back of the neck and walked out.

"That, that, Mr. Fushimi?" Xiao Hachi, who was being held by the back of the neck, opened his eyes wide, "Why do you even want me?"

"The speed of the small knife just now was very unusual, otherwise it wouldn't have forced him to use his conditioned reflex." Fushimi Aru Hiko said with a cold expression, holding a man in the same pose as a cat, "You aimed at his eyes."

The key is targeted, and the instinctive shot brings the ability.

"No, I aimed at his ears. Even if I don't hide, I will just lose a little hair." Xiaoba said casually, "It's just to scare him."

"Aren't you avenging that friend of yours?"

The girl with black hair and different pupils raised her face and gave Fushimi Saru Hiko a bright smile: "Oh, do I look like that kind of narrow-minded person?"

The young man snorted, noncommittal.

A petty and vindictive cat.
