Faria frowned and looked at Qiu Shan Richen: "If this is the case, then this person will at least be someone who is familiar with Miss Megan and even trusts each other. Among us, who can Have you achieved this status in Miss Meghan's heart..."

"————————"

Hearing Faria's question, everyone was silent at the same time, not knowing how to answer this question.

Although they knew each other with Megan, and Megan always had a gentle smile on everyone, but no one could feel that their relationship had only come to an end.

Megan has been wearing a smiling mask, but no one can know what kind of expression is hidden under that mask.

"The man who is very close to Miss Megan, who can let her go to the laundry room late at night... who can be there?"

Faria's gaze swept over all the men present, including himself, the Cave King, Highmore, Qiu Shan Richen, and Si Kong Mirage. These were already all the men present, and these people had a deep relationship with Megan on weekdays. Friendship, who will it be?

If you talk about interested men, then it seems that only the Cave King and Highmore can be included in Megan's relationship map, and the others are still a little bit worse.

——Wait, do you always feel that something is not quite right?

But at this moment, Faria suddenly felt a sense of disobedience.

——I always feel that there is some important information that I have missed... an extremely important clue, what is that?

Ninth Day in Jail - Judgment Hour: New Potion

"Why don't you talk? Since you are so confident, let us listen to what you have to say, Mr. Moriarty." Highmore looked at Faria with a frown and asked with a smile, " Are you suspecting that it's one of us?"

"That's the only possibility. After all, what Ms. Lip saw was a man who entered the scene of the crime while arguing with Ms. Meghan." Elliot looked at Highmore and asked, "Is it possible?" No, is that man you?"

Highmore pushed his glasses, glanced at Elio with disdain, and said, "Hmph, it's nonsense, Miss Thief, I have no relationship with Miss Megan at all, so how can I be sure that person is me?" .”

"Oh, is that so? I thought you, who looked like a dandy, should get along well with that noble lady." Elliot deliberately made a surprised expression.

However, she immediately laughed very narrowly: "Ah, yes, I just remembered, you are not a rich kid, after all, if your name is thrown on the streets of the United States and asked by the police, you will be suspected of being Fake names are common to scary names~"

"———————————" Highmore fell into silence, but judging from his clenched hands and the strength that seemed to gnaw his teeth, this man was suppressing and almost erupted from his body. anger.

Sikong Mirage gritted his teeth, looked at Qiu Shan Richen who had been silent all this time with gloomy eyes, and said, "Tch...Although I am also a suspect...but I still want to doubt whether it is you... "

"Again, is it me again!?" Qiu Shan Richen suddenly took two steps back in horror, once again a thick layer of sweat dripped out of his body due to nervousness.

"You fat guy is really disgusting, hey." Sikong Mi waved his hands in disgust, "I just expressed my point of view, do I need this kind of virtue?"

"But... But, I'm really not the murderer!" Qiu Shan Richen argued weakly.

Sikong Mirage rolled his eyes and looked at Qiu Shan Richen: "A murderer wouldn't jump out and say that he is a murderer, idiot, your excuse is the same as nothing."

"The scene is already getting a little chaotic." The Cave King looked at the scene of mutual suspicion and sarcasm in front of him, and glanced at Faria next to him. "So, what do you want to do now? Your Excellency Faria."

Faria closed her eyes slightly, as if she didn't hear the voice of the Cave King, and even ignored the chaotic scene in the judgment room.

"What is the clue that I missed?"

In an instant, Megan's body reappeared in his mind. At this moment, for Faria, it was as if she had reappeared in front of his eyes.

"Then let's summarize the clues again." Faria reached out his index finger and pressed the center of his brow, frowning and thinking, "As Nightingale said, Miss Meghan died of a strong electric current. "

Cause of death - strong current electric shock

"However, there is a new problem here. Miss Megan's body is too calm, and it seems that she was already lying there in that position before she was shocked."

Suspicion - the peaceful corpse

At this time, the angle of Megan's corpse in Faria's mind slowly changed, and it appeared on her neck, a clue that he found during his inspection and confirmed by Miss Nightingale, the pinhole mark .

Clues - pinhole marks

"As well as Lip's testimony, who is [that man] that Miss Megan met last time?" Faria thought about it, and he felt that if he could find out the truth of these points and connect them together, the truth of this incident would be The truth will come out.

However, these are not enough, he has no conclusive evidence to prove his thoughts, how to find out the truth of everything is really an extremely important issue for him now.

"Wait a minute... I remember someone said something about needle holes, injections and medicine..." Faria suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Nightingale and said, "Nightingale Miss, can you contact Mr. Caster for me now, I have something very important to ask him."

"Caster? I understand. I will help you connect to the pharmacy now." Nightingale pressed the button on the left hand side, and the influence of Caster Paracelsus appeared on the big screen in an instant. And Alexanderson who seems to be carrying some precious potion behind him.

Paracelsus reached out and fiddled with the screen in front of him. He seemed a little not good at operating this kind of electronic equipment: "Well, the contact from the judgment room, Miss. Berserker, what can I do?"Ah, Alexanderson, can you help me to see what to do with this, why only my own display can't see the situation on Miss Nightingale's side? 』

"Wait a minute, master, I will help you solve it. ”Alexandersen put down what he was doing, walked to the side of Paracelsus, and took the mouse with his hand. Room call video and your family call video switch places. 』

"So this is ah. Paracelsus nodded suddenly, and continued to ask, "So, Miss Nightingale, how is your progress?" 』

Nightingale looked at Paracelsus with a calm expression, and said, "Caster, Your Excellency Faria has something to ask you."

"oh?Mr. Faria, what's the matter? Hearing Nightingale's words, Paracelsus looked at Faria and asked curiously, "If it is within the scope of my ability, then I will do my best to assist you. 』

"Well, I want to ask, Caster." Faria looked at Paracelsus and asked in a very serious tone, "About the new potion you just told me about."

"Oh, that, what's the problem? ’ Paracelsus looked at Faria and asked with some doubts.

Faria asked, "Well, I want to know, if the drug is injected in different doses, will there be any different side effects on the human body?"

"Well, let me think about it, the potion is here. ’ Paracelsus bent down and seemed to be searching for something in the cabinet below, then he took out a syringe, looked at Faria and said, ‘This is it, it’s almost enough at this dose To achieve the effect of drowsiness, if it is only a small amount of injection, then it is just that you feel tired and your nerve response becomes dull. 』

Faria frowned, looked at Paracelsus and said, "That is to say, I originally wanted to develop a medicine that is immune to a certain attack, but in fact it only weakens my nervous system, making people feel uncomfortable." Are you in pain?"

Paracelsus nodded and replied: "Yes, that's the case, and if the human body suffers a fatal attack, it can still be killed, but there is no pain in this process." 』

『Oh, by the way, this drug is special, it cannot be absorbed by the digestive system, so it can only achieve this effect by injecting it directly into the blood circulation system. 』

"That is to say... this drug is only injected and delivered to the whole body through blood circulation, is it the only way it can be triggered?"

Paracelsus showed a flat smile, looked at Faria and said: "To be precise, it is sent to the human brain, after all, that is the center of the nervous system." 』

Ninth Day in Prison - Moment of Judgment: Suspicions and Refutations

After hearing the testimony of Paracelsus, Faria once again bowed her head and pondered. At this moment, Elio looked at Faria and asked, "Brother Faria, what do you mean?" Could it be... Miss Megan was injected with some kind of drug?"

Faria nodded: "That's right, this is what I'm skeptical about. This potion was originally developed by Caster, and after use, it can resist all kinds of energy damage, whether it's magic or anything else, as long as it is An attack made of pure energy, this drug will have a harm-reducing effect on the human body."

"Ah, it's a bit like the resistance potion that appears in all kinds of RPG games." Qiu Shan Richen should have been in contact with this kind of field frequently, so he said immediately.

After hearing Qiu Shan Richen's words, Faria also scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Ahahaha, what a coincidence, in fact, that was my first reaction."

Then, he coughed slightly, adjusted his mentality, and continued: "However, the development of this potion has actually failed. Although Caster's alchemy technology is unmatched, he still needs to experience several times for this potion." It takes one failure, and I’m right.”

"That's right. After all, this is only the initial stage and needs further adjustments." Paracelsus nodded with a smile, looking at the people in front of him and said.

"Wait a minute, we want to know the specific content of the side effects, can you tell us first before you start your self-promotion?" At this moment, Highmore raised his hand and interrupted Paracelsus , said with a cold face.

"Well, it's actually not too difficult to understand. Just like what His Excellency Faria asked me just now, this potion has serious flaws, to the extent that its actual effect runs counter to my purpose." Paracel Seuss' eyes moved down slightly, as if he felt a little lost for his failure.

"My original purpose was to make a drug that would make people immune to energy attacks to a certain extent, but it was only after it was developed that I discovered that the actual effect of the potion was to tamper with the nervous system of the human body, by paralyzing the entire nervous system. system so that people don't feel anything when they're being attacked..."

"But in fact, this is not immunity. It just weakens one's senses, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, thinking that it can avoid being chased and killed. Is this self-deceiving effect?" Highmore's glasses A ray of light reflected from his head, and gazed at Paracelsus.

The latter nodded, and said with a slightly wry smile: "That's right, the effect of the nervous system is weakened, but in fact the attack suffered will still destroy the human body without any resistance. If it is an attack that is enough to kill, then People will still die without a doubt, the only difference may be that people affected by this potion will not suffer as much as other people when they die."

Hearing this, Elliot and the others also lowered their heads. After Paracelsus' answer, it seems that the main murder weapon that killed Miss Megan has been determined, and the only thing left to do is to identify a real murderer. .

"So, who is the murderer?" Elliot looked at everyone present and asked, "A man who knows that there is such a potion, and who is able to invite Miss Megan to such a remote place in the middle of the night , is there anyone here who would meet this requirement?"

Qiu Shan Richen and Sikong Mian took a small step back almost at the same time, expressing their innocence, presumably, one is a fat man who probably hasn't talked to women much in his life, and the other has a dead face Autism, no matter who it is, it is difficult to get along with the people around it.

"Then it's Mr. Cave King, Mr. Highmore, and... Brother Faria?" Elio looked at Faria, hesitated for a moment, and said.

"In this situation, it seems that I can only be listed as one of the suspects." Faria shrugged helplessly and said.

"Wait a minute, I have a question." At this moment, Highmore suddenly raised his hand, looked at Faria and said, "Mr. Moriarty, let me ask you, Miss Passion Lip has clearly said Is there any characteristic of that male voice?"

"I tried to ask, but the child seemed very shy, and didn't hear too clearly at the time, I can only know that she heard a male voice."

"Hmph, since it's such a vague answer..." Hearing Faria's answer, Highmore curled his lips slightly and looked at Elio and said, "You are also inseparable from the suspect, Miss. Elio .”

"Huh? Wait, why am I suddenly a criminal suspect again?" Elio was taken aback by what Highmore said, and asked hastily.

Highmore showed a sly smile like a fox, and said, "Do you still need to ask? You are a world-class phantom thief. For you, a little bit of disguise, changing to a male voice, etc., are all An easy thing."

"————————" Elio was silent for a moment, but then, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly upwards to face Highmore, and she said in an almost trembling tone, "Ah, is that so? Oh, hehehe, indeed, I seem to be very good at all kinds of cross-dressing, and my voice can naturally be varied, and your reasoning is very good, Mr. Highmore."

At this moment, Elliot's eyes widened suddenly. When the elegant smile disappeared from her face, obvious blue veins burst out on her forehead. At the same time, she pointed the middle fingers of both hands fiercely at Highmore. , An extremely angry rough voice came from her mouth.

"But my mother and I, her Mua, can't and absolutely can't pretend to be a man, you damn Pussy!"

"Alas--------!?"

Highmore didn't react at all, but Qiu Shan Richen was so frightened by Ailio's sudden change that he almost fell to the ground, "Love, love, Miss Ario...has been possessed by something !?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was a little rude." However, Elio, who soon realized her gaffe, immediately restored the same elegant and calm smile, and politely tilted her head towards Highmore.

"Hmph, okay, even if you don't know how to dress up as a man, what's with your attitude of wanting to shirk responsibility? Since just now, you have been pushing the possibility of being a suspect on us. "

"I...I kind of feel the same way..." Qiu Shan Richen got up, swallowed and said to Elio, "I always feel...Miss Elio, you have been shirking responsibility..."

Si Kong Mirage didn't speak, but judging from his persistent nodding there, he also somewhat agreed with Highmore's deduction.

"Well, it's not because of what little brother Faria said..." Elio became anxious and pointed at Faria, as if she wanted to say something.

But Faria interrupted everyone's conversation at this moment. He did not comment on the discussion on the spot, but suddenly looked at Nightingale and asked: "Miss Nightingale, I would like to ask, What do you think about the pinhole in Miss Megan's neck?"

"What do you think?" Nightingale leaned against Faria, seeming to understand what he meant, and continued, "The technique was crisp and neat, and the syringe was inserted into the blood vessel with extreme precision without any hesitation, and again There are very few visible marks to speak of when pulled out."

Speaking of this, Nightingale made an evaluation: "He is a very clever murderer."

Ninth Day in Jail - Judgment Time: The Killer Testimony

"A very clever murderer..." Faria lowered her head and murmured softly, "That is to say, the murderer can easily insert a syringe into Miss Megan's vein, and leave behind Are the pinholes very imperceptible?"

"Since this is the case, then it proves that the murderer is a doctor with superb medical skills?" Elio said this, suddenly looked at Nightingale instinctively, and frowned involuntarily, "Would you like to say The only people who meet this condition seem to be..."

Faria shook her head to deny Elliot's suspicion, and retorted: "It won't be Miss Nightingale, after all, they are the staff here, although there are warlike spirits like Beowulf, but if they are the only ones who kill The death of us is not enough to constitute a reason to enter the judgment..."

However, at this moment, Faria's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes widened the moment he said this, and then he raised his head to look at the cave king standing beside him: " That's right... If that's the case, if it's because it's the Heroic Spirit in this prison, Cave King, why would you participate in this judgment with us?"

After hearing Faria's words, everyone's pupils shrank, and they instinctively looked at the expressionless Cave King, who showed an extremely sinister smile in front of everyone's questioning eyes. He said, "Have you finally found it? I thought you hadn't noticed such a fatal loophole at all."

Speaking of this, the Cave King paused slightly, and then said: "Yes, I am indeed a heroic spirit who was summoned by this prison with the concept of [prisoners who must exist]. The heroic spirits serving here have the same status, and, as you can imagine, I don't need to participate in this ruling at all, and I will appear here only out of my own interest to walk with you of."

"That is to say, no matter who it is, as long as it is a heroic spirit like you, the Cave King, won't it be a murderer?" Elio asked while looking at the Cave King.

"No, it has nothing to do with that." Faria gritted her teeth, said this to Elio, looked at the Cave King again and said, "I want to know, who are you?"

"Who else am I? Edmund Dantès, King of the Grottoes, also known as the [Count of Monte Cristo], don't you already know it?" The King of the Grottoes said every word, but he followed He also showed a smirk, "Or have you never listened to my self-introduction seriously? Father Faria."

Faria sighed helplessly, looked at the Cave King and said, "You should also know that this is not what I am asking, Cave King, what I really want to ask is about the person in the position you replaced. , who is it?"

Hearing Faria's questioning, everyone immediately froze in place. That's right, they finally understood Faria's words until this time. Since the Cave King is not a participant in the ruling, then his position is not right. It should exist. However, from the moment everyone arrived, there were just enough empty seats in this room, so there shouldn't be any empty seats for the Cave King. The position, that is to say...the position of the Cave King, should be someone they don't know at all...?

"Sorry, I don't know either." However, the Cave King didn't even have time to think, and answered Faria simply and neatly, "It's better to give up the idea of ​​getting clues from me, Father Faria, because I don’t even know where I am or who I am.”

"How is this possible?" Faria gritted his teeth, looked at the Cave King and said, "Since you don't even know who you are replacing, how did you stand so firmly in this position from the beginning?"

The Cave King shrugged and said to Faria: "Would you believe me if I said that I received the order from the prison itself?"

"The prison itself?"

"That's right, you can confirm with Berserker, otherwise why do you think that every time there is a murder, she will show up at the scene without being told?"

Nightingale nodded and said: "What he said is indeed correct. This prison will issue an order to each heroic spirit. For example, after every case occurs, I will know where the body was found through the prison itself, so that I can go faster. Arrive at the scene, and the order received by the Cave King is to stand in this position to replace someone and act as a member of the judgment."

"But...if that's the case, how will it be done to this extent..." Faria lowered her head, clenched her fists and said to herself: "If I remember correctly, when the judgment was made, It should be that all participants must attend and join the discussion... But why, who is that person..."

At this moment, in Faria's brain, countless clues spewed out from his mind, not only the clues about this case, but the clues that appeared in previous cases were all dragged by him Come out and filter.

"A person who has never appeared in the adjudication field, has the superb medical skills praised by Miss Nightingale, and can make Miss Megan let down her guard and talk to him in the middle of the night..." Faria closed He closed his eyes, and let countless clues flash through his mind.

——Excellent medical skills

- never noticed

-Know the ruling rules

- able to know the progress of the ruling by some means

At this moment, a very familiar sliding sound suddenly appeared in Faria's mind, causing him to suddenly open his eyes and look at the god who had been stunned for a while by his hand: "What was that... just now? "

With such thoughts in mind, Faria pinched his brows, and followed the swipe sound that suddenly echoed in his mind to find the past. Slowly, the conversation with someone gradually came to his mind.

"Your Excellency Faria, if I remember correctly, you must attend the ruling."

"Oh, Your Excellency Faria, the time for the verdict is coming, don't you plan to go?"

"Actually, if possible, I really hope to work with Miss Nightingale, ahaha."

A man with a tiny imprint on his finger was standing in Faria's brain holding a wooden box, and with the appearance of this sentence, the image of this man gradually appeared in front of Faria's eyes, making him He stood there blankly, and then showed a successful smile.
