Is this really just an RPG? !

Detective is a very powerful profession.

It doesn’t mean that they can find clues and find criminals. The real strength of detectives is that events will happen wherever they go, and even some events are “obviously they can’t happen, but they must be forced to happen when they see a detective coming” or It's "It won't happen if the detective doesn't come, but it must happen when the detective comes because it's a challenge."

In other words.

Prisoners are mostly out of their minds.

…………

Cough cough, it's getting too far, let's get back to the topic.

Just now, a murder occurred in the hotel where the boy and the maid lived.

When the two approached the hotel, they heard the screams of a man from the second floor. The screams lasted for a long time, and the sound didn't stop until the maid came to the door. The door was locked, and if you went downstairs to ask the hotel owner for the key, you might miss the opportunity to see the prisoner, so the boy asked the maid to break through forcibly, but even so, they didn't see the prisoner in this incident.

It was a mess, as if some kind of battle had taken place.

The victim was sitting on the ground against the wall, with a dagger stuck in his heart and the scabbard of the dagger on his right side. There was a distorted expression on the man's face, he should have been greatly frightened before he died, and he could even try to doubt the possibility of "he was frightened to death before he stabbed a sword in his chest".

"My lord, what do you think of this matter?"

"Jin, I think there must be something wrong with this matter... No, it's the other way around!"

"The point is not here!"

"ah……"

The teen turned his head away to focus on the victim.

The identity of this man is very ordinary. He is a businessman. He brought some goods to trade with the residents of Kano Town. He just arrived here three days ago; With less dealings, the relationship with trade partners is only ordinary.

Such a person really can't imagine that he will attract such hatred.

In other words, the person who killed him was not from this city?

Hiring someone to follow him all the way, and then picking a suitable time to attack him in the house... It's quite reasonable to think about it this way. If this is the case, the next direction of investigation is not limited to Kano Town, but to find more clues towards the identity of the victim.

However, all these speculations stem from the extrapolation of "this man was killed".

Assuming that's not the case?

"Huh... But, the boss is willing to leave this matter to us, and even help us seal the door, it's really lucky."

"Maybe it's because I don't want to be involved in this kind of thing. If someone is willing to take responsibility, he will push it out quickly."

"Human nature."

The boy came to this conclusion.

Originally, I just asked the hotel owner to "leave this matter to us" with the attitude of giving it a try, but the other party readily agreed and said that he could provide help within his ability. Think about it carefully, this town doesn't even have a place similar to a prison?

What a shabby place it is!

The boy sighed, then shook his head, trying not to think about things that had nothing to do with the incident.

There are two things that need to be paid most attention to now: the sword stuck in the man's chest, no matter how you look at it, it feels very strange, it seems that there is a sense of disobedience, but there is no way to describe it properly; Obviously, he didn't stop until Ji En reached the door, but when he opened the door, he didn't see the prisoner.

"strangeness……"

"Jean?"

"Ah, it may be my illusion. When I stood at the door, I only felt the breath of one person."

"...Maybe it's not an illusion."

The boy said so and snapped his fingers.

"Jean, can a person continue to scream in fear after death?"

"Eh, of course you can't... right?"

"That is to say, we can boldly make a guess that the victim died when we came to the door."

"Yes, at that time, I noticed that the breath of the only person in the house disappeared."

"Then, it is impossible for the killer to leave directly when he is not sure whether the victim is dead, because the victim may remember some of his own characteristics and cause himself to be caught," the teenager said, stopping here, and then went to the window Next, "But there is one situation where the murderer will leave with peace of mind, that is, the murderer never appeared in front of the victim from the very beginning."

"That's right! Do you already know what happened to the whole incident, my lord?"

"have no idea!"

The boy replied straightforwardly, without any guilt in his tone.

Because he really didn't know, even if he could guess what method the other party might use, he still couldn't figure out the identity of the criminal and the reason for the murder. There were too few clues, and there were a lot of possibilities in the whole incident, but the young man always felt that the prisoner didn't seem to have left Kano Town.

No reason.

Maybe it's my instincts as a detective?

"So, what will my lord do next?"

"Let me try for a while..."

Saying so, the boy stood in front of the victim, and took a few steps back.

A magic circle shining with blue light spread out under the feet, and a large number of runes emerged around it. It seemed to be a powerful magic, but the mana around the boy did not move violently, and remained in a normal state, as if the boy's magic would not have any impact on the surrounding environment.

[Perceptual Amplification], [Active Thinking], [Overload Analysis], etc., these magic words, which are usually difficult to see, revolved around the young man.

It feels like a long time ago.

It didn't take long actually.

During this period of time, the boy did not change from the beginning to the end from casting the magic to ending the magic.

But he smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, almost sure."

"grown ups?"

"I'll tell you on the way, the next thing we have to do is to find the prisoner lady."

"Miss prisoner...have you seen the prisoner?"

"No, I just unilaterally think that the name Martha should be feminine."

"……grown ups."

"Don't worry so much, although you can get more information by reasoning, but since there is a simple and clear method in front of me, why should I waste my energy on purpose?"

Saying so, the boy left the room first.

The maid looked helplessly at her master, and then at the wardrobe in the corner. She didn't tell the master she was serving before that there was a certain fragrance left in the closet, which should be the unique body fragrance of women, and there was a little weird question mixed in it. Now that I think about it, it might be the result of staying in the sewer for a long time. Bring on the taste!

Really worked hard for that lady.

"Jean?"

"exist."

"Hurry up, let's go straight to the entrance of the sewer!"

"clear."

Come to the answer so quickly.

I don't know if it's intuition or reasoning.

But... really worthy of being her master?
