Chapter 101 Metaphysical Reasoning
"Well... you can go to my office." At this time, Jennings' experiment was obviously at a critical stage, his eyes did not leave the microscope, but answered directly, "Just behind me, just today Come and report for the job, there is nothing in it, but you can also sit and rest."
"Okay, thank you. Then I'll wait for you inside." Igna walked over to Jennings and patted his back lightly.
-
Jennings's office was exactly as he said, it was empty with only two gas lamps.
But that doesn't matter, Ignat himself doesn't need equipment. Igner even dimmed the lights a bit for the astrological effect.
After used essential oils and holy daggers to create a spiritual wall, Igna took out the crystal ball he carried with him from his trouser pocket. And put the different hairs just pulled from the five corpses on the table.
He recalled the report on the first four dead in the Daily Observer.
The first, a fund manager in the securities industry, a successful woman, dressed in fashion. Was found "suicide" in a house in Chorwood district, no religion.
The second, a doctor in a private medical hospital, lived a rich life. Was found "suicide" in an abandoned house in Queens, believing in the Lord of the Storm.
The third, private detective, a little famous. He was also found "suicide" in an abandoned house in the West End, believing in the Lord of the Storm.
The fourth, the owner of a small company, dressed in lavish clothes. Was found "suicide" in a house in Hillston area, no religious affiliation.
The fifth place is a lawyer who has just been determined. He is a lawyer in the entrepreneurial period and earns a lot of money. It was found that "suicide" was in a house in the Chorwood district, and there is a high probability that there is no religious belief.
In general, these deceased people took the same poison except for the "suicide", and they all died in remote corners.
One of the things that has in common is that they are all relatively wealthy. Assets appear to be in relatively good condition.
The second is that these people seem to have suddenly disappeared in the downtown area, but no one has found them.
Igna first tried to use the hair of several deceased people to astrology the location of the murderer, and failed without any doubt.
"That is to say, the murderer does have some ability or some magical item that can help him avoid the location in the occult sense."
After performing astrology with different divination statements many times, Ignat was sure: "All divinations directed at the murderer himself will be judged as failure."
And this is one of the reasons why the murderer is still at large.
However, Igna knew very well that if the divination pointing to the murderer himself would fail, then there were other divination sentences and divination objects that could be tried.
"The deaths of the five dead are related to extraordinary factors." Igna changed the object of the divination statement.
This time, the result of the divination is displayed on the crystal ball.
According to the answer indicated by the arrangement of stars on the crystal ball...their "deaths" have nothing to do with Extraordinary!
"Unexpected. Reasonable."
Although the murderer's method of murder is complicated and confusing, there is no evidence to say that there are extraordinary factors involved in the murder process.
"The murderer should be carrying some kind of illegal item, which can prevent others from locating him in mysticism, but he did not use his extraordinary abilities or use extraordinary items during the murder. Instead, he used other The method allows the victim to take the poison 'voluntarily' by himself."
"From this point of view, the murderer is definitely not a traveler or any other sequence that is good at curses."
Is there only so many clues?
of course not.
If all the victims were coerced into swallowing the poison, then the killer was also coercing them into a secluded corner with him.
In this world, apart from Beyonders, apart from travelers, isn’t there anyone else who can quietly take people away from the busy city?
In this world, isn’t there someone we have never met, but who are willing to trust and go with him voluntarily?
In this world, don’t there exist “ghosts” who are “non-esoteric” and go unnoticed wherever they go?
Ignatius vividly remembers what Sherlock Holmes, the great detective who did not belong to this era, once said.
- "When you rule out the impossible, what remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the truth."
Igna once again used the crystal ball for divination.
Although the diviner sequence blessed by the goddess can also use the ability of divination, their astrological accuracy, directionality, and versatility are not as good as the astrologers of Sequence 7.
Not to mention, he is an astrologer blessed by Mr. Fool.
Igna used the hair of the victims in turn to read their "death process".
-
"Jennings." Igna opened the door and said to Jennings, who was doing the experiment, "I have a guess as to what kind of person the murderer is."
Jennings, who was operating the test tube with his head down, was stunned.
He stuffed the test tube in his hand on the test tube rack, then raised his head and looked at Igna, looking very excited.
"What? What did you say?" Jennings said. "Have you guessed who the ghost is?"
In this series of consecutive suicide cases, the newspapers collectively referred to the murderers as Backlund’s ghost.
"Well." Igna nodded, "I have a few thoughts on this..."
-
"Turn left ahead, the intersection...go straight."
The coachman stopped and walked on the streets of Backlund, and he could guarantee that this was one of the two strangest guests he had encountered since his career as a coachman.
There is no specific destination address, but directions to turn left and right are given. The source of the instructions was a strange crystal ball that a person held in his arms.
But the coachman has no complaints about this. The rental of the carriage is charged according to the time. As long as the guests like it, they can use the carriage in any way they want.
"Ahead, a little further ahead, go straight..." Igna looked at the crystal fairway, but the carriage didn't move.
"Why did you stop?" Feeling that the carriage didn't move Igna raised his head.
"Because we found that guy." Jennings, acting as a microphone, turned back and said to Igna.
Igna understood immediately, he put away the crystal ball in his arms, leaned out and looked out.
They have now walked to a relatively remote block. 500 meters in front of them is a teaching building, brightly lit, but there seems to be no one.
In front of the building, there was an unmanned rental carriage parked.
Igna took out his pocket watch and snapped it open.
20:21 pm.
is still within the time frame suitable for finding the "carriage". And it's still early.
Igna stood up and straightened his equipment. Jennings also nodded solemnly towards Igna.
Only 40 for 24 hours. Did you see the water in the sea, those are my tears.
