"Speaking of which, I feel that the murderer is getting more and more crazy." Camilla, who was riding a horse, looked at the report in her hand: "In this week, he has killed four victims, two of whom were watching.

It looked like an accident."

"Indeed, there are no non-accidental factors at all, but some sequences do have such abilities, so we can only estimate this. Mrs. Aurel Caton is a three-step illusionist of the Pretender sequence. I can't imagine that she is

Why did you die in the alley? Was it because Fang's house was too close and he lost his guard?" Beside him, Colin, who was also riding a horse, frowned and said: "What a ghost, my old friend, what can you do?

Imagine an illusionist dying from the muzzle of a long-barreled musket."

"Before today, I wouldn't have believed it at all, but after all, she is just an illusionist. If it were you or me, and a bullet penetrated the head, there would be a chance to survive - only one shot is needed to treat the fatal wound." Camilla said.

After finishing, he turned to look at the other side of the intersection: "Hey, isn't that Marin and his girlfriends?"

"Ah, why are they here?" Colin was a little curious. He rode a horse and came behind these boys: "Hey, Marin, and girls, what are you doing?"

"We have something to do and we are going to the city hall." Marin gave this answer.

"Okay, busy man, please be careful all the way. The city has not been peaceful recently." Colin nodded, and he was about to drive away.

"By the way, Colin, where are you and Mr. Camilla going?" Marin turned into Mr. Curious at this moment, and regarding his question, Colin felt that there was nothing to hide: "Let's go meet

Mr. Michel, their family is also a high-risk family now, and we are all wondering whether we should give Mr. Michel and his sister some protection."

"...That's a good idea, let's go." Marin nodded with a smile, then turned around and left with his girls.

"You are indeed a busy man." Camilla came over on horseback.

"It's really incomparable to a busy man who can earn 100,000 yuan a month." Colin smiled and shook his head: "By the way, the canned food they make is really delicious."

"I find it convenient. The Justice Church's Punisher Unit has already started placing orders." Camilla said as she continued to follow her old friend: "By the way, seeing Marin just now reminded me of something.

Didn't this kid say he doubted Mr. Michel before? Why would he feel that way?"

"I think it's normal for a child to have a dream about a famous detective. Michelle's leg is still injured. I don't think he is the murderer. Who can climb up to the top of the bell tower with his legs and kill him?

And he was able to escape before the police arrived." Colin complained as he looked at his old friend.

"Obviously Mr. Michel can't fly." Camilla smiled at this, and then put away her smile: "Okay, we are almost there, old friend, should we express some appropriate comfort."

"I think it's okay, after all, his leg is not healed yet." Colin nodded: "By the way, his sister's name is Sierra, a very cute girl, and it is said that she is in love."

"Ah, I smell the sour smell of love..." Mr. Camilla heard this and turned to look at Colin: "Just like you."

"Haha." Colin rolled his eyes at this.

………………

"They did not suspect Mr. Michel." Faye said in Marin's ear.

Marin had already expected this: "Based on Mr. Michel's current situation, he does not look like a murderer, but more like a victim who was always prepared. I can't confirm what his sequence and ladder are now.

It's not true. I remember Colin said before that he only had ladder eight, but I couldn't believe that he really only had ladder eight. If the murderer was someone else, why not kill him? If the murderer was himself, how powerful he was."

This is simply a paradox.

"We are currently unable to confirm whether the murderer is him or not. This is all just our imagination. If we can confirm that the murderer is repeating the death sequence of the Michel family in a revengeful killing method, then we can only think that this murderer has imitated

It is suspected of murder, and it may be a sacrifice to please the evil god." Marin looked at Faye: "But if we want to convict, it cannot be proven with the evidence we have now, Mr. Michel.

guilty."

"...It would be great if I were Sherlock Holmes." Faye sighed.

And Marin smiled and stretched out his hand to rub Faye's head: "It's a pity that there is no such thing in this world. Since this murderer dares to kill people in this way, he must have his trump card. Therefore, we must be careful. No matter how careful we are, if we can't

To confirm the safety of the evidence obtained, we would rather tell the police officers or Colin about this matter. Safety comes first in everything. We currently do not have enough strength to confront a murderer who is likely to have high-level strength."

"I understand, Marin, I will not put everyone's safety at risk." Faye nodded vigorously.

Such a guarantee allowed Marin to finally rest assured: "Then our first goal now is to go to the city hall. We must confirm whether every death is an accident. If we can be sure and confirm this, we will tell you

Tell officers directly that sometimes it's easier to avoid risks than to abandon someone when you have to."

"I understand, Marin, don't worry, we will protect ourselves." Jessica said with a smile.

Marin smiled - now he was very conflicted, because Marin was afraid that if the murders in recent years were confirmed to be similar to the previous murders of the Michel family, it meant that it was likely to be a copycat.

The crime may even be a sacrifice to please the evil god. Such an answer is absolutely fatal to Marin and the others. If things get to this point, picking themselves out of this incident is what Marin and the others want.

Must do.

"Mr. Marin, if it is confirmed that the two rounds of murders are similar, what should we do?" Cross walked to Marin and asked.

"Tell Colin this immediately." Marin and Faye said in unison immediately.

"I second the motion." Lilim nodded: "The murderer who is able to do this is definitely not just an ordinary copycat. He must have an agenda. We must prevent all this from happening, otherwise the murderer may be responsible for others.

This world brings disaster.”

"It's so scary. They obviously have healthy bodies, why do they still want to destroy the world?" Cross said a little unhappy, and her soliloquy made Marin silent - yes, even if Cross

Being turned into what she is now by fate, her heart has not been twisted into this. She can only question herself in pain.

Because of this, Marin thought of saving her from the sea of ​​suffering.

Thinking of this, Marin stroked Cross's head and pushed her ears back: "Kloss's body is also great. In my eyes, your heart is dazzlingly healthy.

Woolen cloth."

The rabbit girl was surprised, then blushed. Seeing her completely unable to move, Marin smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her: "Let's go to the city hall. What we hear is believing, and seeing is believing, isn't it?"

"Yes, may the goddess of fate have mercy on you." Faye smiled after saying this.

………………

Although Faye said this, with Marin's memory, he quickly found five similar murder cases in the file, and other girls also found it, including Lilim who found three and Jessica found one.

, Cross and Faye each found seven copies, and Maya found four.

There were twenty similar murder cases, and Marin only felt his scalp numb.

And they also discovered a characteristic. If the murders and accidents of the Michel family were ranked from 1 to 24 from the first victim to the last victim, then the twenty murders and accidents in recent years,

It fits perfectly with the reverse ranking of 24 to 5.

The murderer started from the last time, recreating the murders and accidents again and again in perfect replicas.

The 24th accident of the Michel family was the accident in which Mr. Michel's father fell to death. Before Marin came to this world, an old man from a noble family also fell from the roof of the building, and the case was also ended in an accident.

The two children of the Domingo family were numbered 17 and 16 respectively. Correspondingly, they were a pair of twins from the Michel family. They were also killed in an alley and in a crowd. The murderer could not be identified at all.

The two princes of the Moweish family escaped the assassination, but Marin still found their replacements - on the third day after the incident, two children of a noble family died in an assassination, and the murderer approached them from behind.

, and then there was a clean assassination, with almost no resistance to the murderer's actions, just like the brothers from the Michel family...their numbers were No. 14 and No. 13.

Logan's three cousins ​​are the 9th, 8th and 7th respectively. Correspondingly, they are the three youngest sons of the grandfather of the Michel family. The 9th one died with a revolver in his own hands.

The fire broke out, which was considered an accident; the eighth person died from a precise kick to the head from an out-of-control packhorse, which was considered an accident; the seventh person rolled down the stairs, and with almost the entire class watching, he died.

He rolled from the second floor to the first floor and broke his neck; it was also considered an accident.

"It's terrible." Faye covered her mouth: "Things have gone beyond our imagination, Marin."

"Yes, if we arrange the worst plan and there are four more victims, the sacrifice will be completed. We must tell Mr. Colin." Cross said this and was stunned: "Wait a minute, Mr. Colin

Said where he was going."

"Mr. Michel's house...oh my god, is it going to be dangerous?" Jessica was furious.

"No, nothing will happen to Mr. Colin. No matter whether Mr. Michel is the murderer or not, nothing will happen to Mr. Colin, because if I were the murderer, I would never create any complications when the sacrifice is about to be completed. There are four more

A victim, the victim must be a noble, Mr. Colin is a priest or an orphan, the chance that he will be chosen by the murderer is zero." Marin looked at the girls and said.

This is a view confirmed by Marin after comparing these twenty cases.

And his view was also affirmed by Faye and Cross. These two girls are both mages and have sharp minds. In this regard, they are far more powerful than the other three girls who rely on their bodies to make a living.

"What about the gentleman who was traveling with Mr. Colin?" Cross didn't know Camilla, but Faye did: "That's Mr. Camilla. It's okay. He is a paladin of the Just Church. He is the person who combines body and mind.

They are all good people dedicated to the God of Justice. There is no Paladin in the Michel family, so if the murderer is really assassinating in order, he will be safe."

"That's great." Cross looked at Marin happily and said with a smile: "Since we can't contact Mr. Colin now, let's go find Mr. Hoffman, okay."

"That's exactly what I meant. We have to talk about this kind of thing. Come on, collect all these cases. Let's go." After Marin finished speaking, he reached out to collect the files of these cases. Faye looked at him from the side.

He took out paper bags from the cabinet and packed them, and then Marin packed them in a cowhide bag: "Let's go, girls, without further ado."

"I'll take the lead." Jessica volunteered.

"No, I'll take the lead." Marin said as he opened the copper button of his windbreaker and showed off the revolver holsters on both sides - Marin has a gun license, a regular staff badge of the Harvest Goddess Church, and a

With the favored badges of the Church of the God of Justice and the Church of the God of War, the entire Carter Castle knew that even if Marin went out on the street with two revolvers, he would still be killing some blind monsters.

"I'll take the cowhide bag." After Faye finished speaking, she opened her personal space bag and put it in the bag: "Marin, be natural, let's not show that there is no silver in this place.

If Mr. Michel is not the murderer and someone in the city hall is, you will alarm him."

Marin thought for a while, nodded, and pulled up his windbreaker: "Then, Lilim, you and I will be the first to go out and pretend that we have found nothing."

"Don't worry, I'm from the opera club." Lilim nodded.

"Klose, follow me. You must jump on my back, and don't forget to act like a baby."

"Okay." Cross nodded.
