Apostle of Cthulhu

Arnold was in a bad mental state.

It wasn't because he was afraid or scared, but the "unknown" power from last night was deeply engraved in his bones. It would take some time to forget it.

The Seaton Bar was still deserted, with only a few guests sitting in the booths, drinking silently.

Arnold stood in front of the bar, wiping the transparent high-heeled wine glass with a white towel as usual, listening to the sound of the ceiling fan turning slowly.

At this time, the gate was pushed open.

Even without looking up, Arnold could guess who was coming.

Norris led Baifuli into the Seton Bar and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Where is Siwei?"

"He's in the bathroom." Arnold yawned, "You look so anxious, did something happen?"

"It's hard for me to explain," Norris replied, "Wait until Siwei comes out."

Siwei, who didn't know the situation, didn't let the three wait too long. As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw Norris and Baifuli sitting at the bar, "You two, what a coincidence."

For some reason, Baifuli wanted to beat Siwei up when she heard him say this.

Norris was particularly calm, "It's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be in the bar at first."

"So what's the matter?" Si Wei sat next to Norris and took a tissue from the bar and wiped his hands. "You came to see me in broad daylight, so you must have gained something, right?"

Norris said: "Oh? Are you so sure that I came to see you?"

"Of course, Arnold did not participate in our investigation. You brought Miss Bai Fuli to the Seton Bar in a hurry. Even if you say you are not here to see me, I don't believe it."

Bai Fuli crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Very smart."

Without denying Si Wei's words, Norris directly gave his clues, "You should have investigated the next possible crime scene, right? Just now, I got the current suspect list at the police station from a relatively reliable 'friend'."

"'Friend'? You are a wanted criminal. You are not a good person to have friends at the police station..." Si Wei said.

"You have a preconceived stereotype. Who says that wanted criminals can't have one or two conscientious police friends?" Norris corrected Si Wei's words, "In short, I personally think these are all wrong answers."

Bevry said: "You draw conclusions so quickly... You haven't even seen all the lists yet."

Si Wei answered the doubts revealed in Berri's words on behalf of Norris, "It's probably because there is a traitor in the top of the police station. The people of the Pantheon should also be tracking that guy. After all, this guy has disturbed the whole Manburg City. In order to prevent him from disturbing the North Sea, they want to catch him directly."

Si Wei's guess is exactly the same as Norris's. The latter is a little suspicious whether this guy is a high-level astrologer or dream eater. How can he be so clear about his own thoughts.

"Si Wei is right. There must be something wrong with the top of the police station in Manburg City. It's a common problem in the imperial agency." Norris put a stack of documents in front of Arnold.

"Uh... can I ask you something?" Arnold's smile gradually froze, "What do you mean by pushing this thing in front of me?"

Norris did not hesitate at all, "You go and eliminate all the wrong answers. After all, Siwei and I can't have all the right guesses."

"You really know how to order people around!"

"Don't you want to know about the city of Haleiya?" Norris raised his eyebrows at Arnold, "The principle of equality, isn't it fair?"

Siwei added slowly, "Arnold, you'd better agree to what he said, otherwise I think there will be more troublesome things waiting for you to deal with later."

Arnold had no choice but to sigh , took the file from Norris, "Okay... I'll make a special trip."

"What about me?" Baifuli pointed at herself, "I guess you will definitely arrange something for me, right? I don't think you are the kind of people who will let others sit idle."

Norris glanced at Baifuli, bent down, and whispered in Baifuli's ear: "Keep an eye on Bell."

"This matter?" Baifuli was very tight-lipped, and didn't let Siwei hear any information about Bell. "I didn't expect the things you arranged for me to be so easy."

Siwei, who was standing aside, saw that Norris didn't tell him about this matter, so he didn't ask more questions, so as not to get involved in more troublesome things.

This is indeed the case. If Siwei had really asked a question just now, Arnold would have told Siwei about Bell's affairs, and the latter would definitely go back to investigate Bell.

Can an ordinary policeman in a police station take care of such trivial matters? Siwei doesn't believe it.

Fortunately, he didn't do so, and neither Arnold nor Baifuli revealed any relevant information.

Everyone sitting here is a smart person.

"What are you two going to do?" Arnold asked Siwei and Norris. The two of them had quietly become the planners of the entire event. Even Bofuli and Arnold would ask them.

Siwei and Norris looked at each other, and the former took the lead in saying: "I have some guesses. The missionary should want to create a spiritual ritual."

Norris added: "He also asked me about this matter, and I have given the information."

"But!" Si Wei suddenly stopped talking, "I found something wrong.

"After committing a crime, would you not cover it up and wait for the police to find all the clues and then arrest you?"

The three people present shook their heads.

"But this person did it!" Si Wei spread the newspaper and map given to him by Norris on the table, "Look at this, the red dot I marked on the map is the location where the missionary killed people. Comparing it with the spiritual ritual Norris gave me, it is easy to see that although there are some differences, the difference is not big. "

"Is this a sleight of hand?" Bai Fuli heard what Si Wei meant, but did not understand the more specific things.

Si Wei nodded, "It is indeed a sleight of hand. At first I thought he felt that he was very strong or had gone crazy, but he could still kill people so regularly, he should still be rational.

"That is to say... I was misled. In fact, the murderer meant to make me mistakenly think that he was very powerful."

Norris and Arnold looked as if they had suddenly realized something. Only Bai Fuli, whose reasoning ability was slightly weaker, was still kept in the dark.

Si Wei then explained: "The spiritual ritual that Norris gave me is a spiritual ritual that can improve inspiration. What kind of people do you think need to improve their inspiration?"

This question was asked to Bai Fuli, so naturally she had to answer it, "People who have not become missionaries?"

"Yes! From what Norris said to me, I got inspiration. In fact, this spiritual ritual is not for the missionary himself, but for another person!

"If it is not the murderer himself who is committing the crime, then in order to control his own bees, the murderer must create another missionary of the same type as himself. In this case, he needs the transformed guy to prepare the spiritual ritual."

Norris saw that Bai Fuli was still confused, and gave the final conclusion, "That is to say, the murderer was not the missionary himself, but another guy who was controlled. That person was just watching the fire from the other side. "

Arnold sighed, "Maybe this is some kind of special habit..."

Bevry looked at Siwei with surprise. She just praised Siwei's intelligence just now just ironically, but now she realized... Siwei's brain is really useful!
