Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 243 Deep in the Alley
Moriarty?Why is he here?

Angel looked behind the detective and found that there was no one else. Then his eyes returned to this person, looking up and down, and an idea came to his mind that he found incredible:
Isn't he also here to report?

The next moment, Angel's guess was confirmed.

"I was about to find someone to help me put the report letter into the mailbox, and I saw a homeless man walking towards you after putting in the letter, so I followed him..."

Sure enough, Moriarty is also a well-hidden whistleblower.

Taking the report letter that he had not yet sent, Angel looked at the content and found that it was very similar to what he had written. He even attached a hand-drawn pencil portrait, which was [-]% similar to Heras and Bayliss.

"Why don't you throw in your letter? My report letter doesn't come with a portrait."

She shook off the letter in her hand and said to Moriarty.

"It's not necessary. A letter to them is enough to remind them. Maybe the group of 'punishers' have already finished interrogating the surviving servants and guards of the Caping family and are looking for them. Well, maybe we are also included."

When talking about this matter, both of them were silent.

After a while, Moriarty spoke again.

"I determined the whereabouts of Emily and the other rescued girls through divination. The police and the punishers did not make things difficult for them. Most of the kidnapped girls have returned to their homes, but Emily..."

The parents of this poor girl had died in this incident. Although in Angel's magic mirror divination, Emily jumped into the Tusok River with the O'Neills and "committed suicide", she eventually appeared in Ka The basement of the Taira family shows that the results of divination have been interfered with.

But even after killing Kapin and blowing up his home, the two still did not find enough evidence to reasonably infer the true cause of their deaths.

Maybe the Onel family was controlled by Heras through various decrees, maybe a certain Extraordinary who could interfere with divination was not in Kapin's mansion at the time, and therefore was not discovered by Angel and Moriarty, but all this may only be We can wait for the "punisher" to investigate.

"...Fortunately, she is currently under the protection of the police. Since she has no other relatives, Emily is likely to be adopted by a guardian designated by the police until she becomes an adult and inherits her family's property. For her, she is not a A good ending, but there’s no better way.”

During the conversation, the two left the Holy Wind Cathedral through an alley to avoid being discovered by the "punishers" who had received the report letter.

It was already dark at this time. In order to take care of the "magician" Moriarty who did not have dark vision, Angel chose a street with street lights and the two of them walked side by side.

"The 'Eye of Wisdom' probably won't hold a new gathering recently. Maybe you can only wait until the serial murderer is arrested and the police, military and official extraordinary people relax their vigilance, then you will have a chance to find someone to repair that extraordinary weapon. "

Moriarty said softly. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but he still lowered his voice when talking about occult topics to avoid being heard by ordinary people.

Angel nodded in agreement:
"The same goes for another gathering of Beyonders I know of, but I doubt they'll be able to find the murderer."

At this point, she told the detective the news she heard from Servilia.

"The promotion ceremony of the 'Devil' sequence..."

The other party was not as surprised as she expected, as if he already knew or deduced the relevant information.

"I am also participating in the investigation of serial murder cases. I helped search for some information and found some clues that the murderer likes to attack young women who have been 'street girls'. They even suspected that the murderer might not be human."

"not human?"

Angel raised his eyebrows and blurted out.

At that moment, she thought it was some kind of curse word, but then she thought of Miss Justice's dog that had taken the audience potion, that "extraordinary dog."

Could it be that there is another animal that has taken magic potions and has even been successfully promoted several times, and is now fulfilling the ritual requirements of taking potions through serial killings, and is preparing to be promoted to Sequence 5?

"Yes, according to my inference, the murderer may have had the same serial killing experience before preparing for this promotion, which is why he was so skilled and wanton. But Backlund and even the whole country have almost all registered serial murder cases. So after a fruitless search, detectives turned their attention to the possibility of 'animals'."

"Animals' murder of animals does not arouse the concern of human society at all." Angel took over his words and added.Moriarty nodded in agreement.

"But if that's the case, how does an animal find the formula, buy the potion materials, and prepare the potion for promotion? Unless...unless there is someone behind it to help it?"

Angel shuddered at the thought of this possibility.

A scene emerged in her mind of a mysterious man in black robes feeding the prepared potion to the strange-looking creature in front of her.

If the official Beyonders have been able to determine that the murderer of the serial murder case is some kind of animal, then why is there still no progress in arresting him?

"Maybe they haven't thought of this level yet. After all, these immature speculations are only circulated among detectives. Maybe the military wants to use the serial murder case to rectify Backlund's underground world, so it is not in a hurry to catch the criminals. , who knows?”

The detective gave a meaningless sneer.

"But we can report it and tell them the relevant possibilities. There are already 12 victims. If the murderer is not greedy and is ready to be promoted if he meets the minimum requirements of the promotion ceremony, then he will stop as long as he kills one more person. Maybe It can never be found again.”

Moriarty stopped and looked at Angel in disbelief.

"Aren't you afraid of involving yourself?"

"Have you forgotten? I have counter-divination. This risk is worth taking."

There was a long silence, and a smile appeared in the eyes behind the lenses of the detective glasses.

"I have actually given the detectives a hint. I think they will soon come to a similar conclusion and notify the police and official Beyonders. However, you are right, we can also do more and contribute more.

"I'll go back and sort out the clues I found for you, so that the official Beyonders can catch this 'demon' as soon as possible."

After saying that, he turned back, but immediately looked at Angel again.

"I've been wanting to ask since just now, where did you take me?"

Ok?
Angel also looked around. During their chat, the two of them unknowingly walked into an alley that was even narrower than before. Even the carriage could not pass the road. There were cramped three-story buildings on both sides of the road. Starting from the second floor, the balconies protruded outward. The moonlight was almost invisible above the alley, and the top of the only lamppost at the entrance of the alley emitted a faint light, which could not reach them at all.

"I thought you were the one who led the way..."

She murmured, unable to recall how she ended up in this alley.

By the way, getting lost...could it be a negative effect of the "Master Key"?

But we are two people. Could it be that the effect of this key on making people get lost can also affect the people around them?

After thinking for a moment, Angel had to admit that maybe Moriarty was right. She really led the way unintentionally, and the negative effect of magical items that made people randomly disoriented allowed her to bring the two of them together. In an unknown alley.

Seeing that she was a little stunned, Moriarty chuckled, touched the sleeve of his left wrist with his right hand, hesitated for a moment, then put down his hand, and glanced at the ground beside him.

"It doesn't matter, I'm looking for a wooden stick. In this case, the divination stick is very useful for finding the way. To tell you the truth, when I first arrived in Backlund, I often..."

His words suddenly stopped and his eyes became sharp.

Angel also felt a biting chill at this moment. Her magic mirror had been destroyed during the battle at the Caping family, and she had not yet had time to make a new one. But even so, the spirituality gave a real and urgent warning.

Someone is attacking them!
Above the balcony that almost covered the sky, a huge figure fell rapidly. The target was Sherlock Moriarty, who had just sensed the situation and raised his head.
