Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 97 The Closer Truth

"George III" is flying in the air, heads and figures embossed in embossed figures appear and disappear quickly.

Angel's eyes chased the tumbling coins, trying to find out from the process of divination what magical power is affecting the divination props. Unfortunately, ordinary coins just rotated and fell normally, and then Klein caught them firmly.

He spread his palms open, with the big "1" on the coin facing up.

"The numbers say no, there were no supernatural factors involved in Lawrence's death."

Klein explained slowly, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"I didn't expect the first case to be ruled out as a normal incident."

Leonard's expression didn't show any surprise or disappointment. Perhaps he had already been mentally prepared, knowing that the process of tracing would not be so smooth.

"Let's go to the next location, we need to speed up."

He put the revolver and banner back in the carton, closed the lid, and was ready to call Dean in.

"Wait a minute," Angel rushed forward and held down the paper box, "It doesn't have to be influenced by extraordinary factors, at least I know a way to do this kind of thing without using extraordinary abilities."

"What? How?"

Leonard looked a little surprised, he put down the cardboard box, and looked sideways at Angel.

"For example, an Extraordinary, whose body has been strengthened, directly uses his superhuman physical strength to beat a victim to death with one punch and one kick. Will the divination indicate that the deceased is affected by extraordinary factors?"

Angel looked at Klein and asked.

The latter thought for a moment, then shook his head: "The event does not involve extraordinary abilities or extraordinary items. Divination will give a negative answer."

He frowned and asked back: "You mean, Lawrence did come into contact with a Extraordinary, but this person didn't use Extraordinary abilities, but used threats, sow dissension, or instigate..."

As soon as the word came out, he froze.

"That's right, in the Sequence 8 of the 'Assassin' pathway, the 'Instigator' can do this just by talking. Most of the time, there is no need to use extraordinary abilities."

Angel followed his words and continued.

After being reminded, Klein took out the 1-penny copper coin, but after thinking for a moment, he stuffed it back into his pocket.He tore off the sleeve of his left hand, and shook out the silver chain on his wrist. The citrine at the end swayed slowly, refracting the gas lamp in the room, emitting flickering light.

"Lawrence's death is related to the Extraordinary."

Angel reminded.

This will target the divination to the behavior of the "Extraordinary", rather than the influence of certain "Extraordinary abilities".

Klein nodded, first looked at Angel with scrutiny for a few seconds, and then re-entered the meditation state, holding the citrine pendant firmly with his left hand, and half-closed his eyes.

"Lawrence's death is related to the Extraordinary."

After reciting seven times silently, he opened his eyes.

The crystal pendant is slowly spinning clockwise.

"This means that there are indeed extraordinary people who instigate him to commit suicide on the street just through words."

Leonard said first, his expression was a little excited, which was the excitement of finding valuable clues in the fog.

"Can you find this instigator through divination?"

Angel asked curiously.

At this moment, Klein had put away the topaz pendant again, and wrapped the silver chain around his left wrist. When he heard her question, he shook his head and denied it.

"Dream divination may be possible, but it needs to have enough information before divination can give an exact answer. I don't think it is enough to rely on this evidence alone. It can only consume spirituality in vain."

"Then let's continue to the next location, collect more clues, and prepare more related items."

Leonard immediately made a decision.

He called Dean who was waiting outside the door, and using his identity as an inspector and a signed IOU, he borrowed the pistol Lawrence used to commit suicide and the banner denouncing the former mayor.

Putting the carton on the hired carriage, the three of them also got into the carriage together, beckoning the driver to the next location.

The coachman hired on time obeyed the yelling and drove to the next crime scene in a leisurely manner.

……

"On the afternoon of July 7, Wells, a porter of the paper mill, jumped from a six-story building in the West District, landed on the street, landed on his head, and died on the spot. Before his death, he beat him and deducted his wages. The foreman who even threatened to make him unable to get along in Tingen City is still in the hospital with serious injuries, and this is the iron rod he used."

"Confirmed, Wells' death was affected by Extraordinary."

……

"On the afternoon of July 7, in a fire on Sapphire Street, a dead person was found. Through his belongings, he was identified as a resident next to the fire scene, named Megmu. Ironically, the arsonist was the dead person. According to According to the investigation, he had a long-standing grievance with his neighbor, and this time he tried to set fire to his neighbor’s house and his neighbor’s family while the neighbor was at home on weekends, but he ignited the oil he was carrying and set himself on fire.”

"This is some clothing fragments and the lighter he used to set the fire."

"Someone influenced him and induced the resentment in his heart."

……

After finding the correct method of divination, the three of them non-stop visited several crime locations in the West District and the police stations where the evidence was kept. Klein quickly screened through divination, and quickly screened all nearby locations.

"Of the current seven death cases, five are confirmed to be related to Extraordinary people. They are all abetting crimes, and they all ended their own lives in the end."

In the carriage, Angel unfolded the map on his legs. Four bloody red dots had already been marked on the west side of Tingen City. Leonard held the death report and instructed her to mark another location on the map.

"In this way, the inspection of the West District is almost complete. Next, we will go to Iron Cross Street. There are a group of concentrated dead people, most of whom are in the lower street. Unlike the previous dead, many of them died of sudden illness."

Flipping through the follow-up report, Leonard confirmed the location, knocked on the small window in front of the carriage, and asked the driver to change direction and go to Iron Cross Down Street.

Klein sat beside him, closed his eyes, and entered a state of meditation. He had carried out many divinations along the way, and he was already exhausted. At this time, he was recovering his physical strength and spirituality through the journey.

"Need a break?"

Seeing that the fortune tellers in the team seemed to be unable to hold on, Angel asked.

"Well...we can get to..."

"Thank you, no need."

Leonard's hesitant words were interrupted by Klein, who opened his eyes, glanced at the slanting sun outside the window, and shook his head.

"Find the murderer as soon as possible, don't worry about me, it's enough for me to rest in the car for a while."

"...Okay, let's continue then."

"Midnight Poet" Leonard supported the top of his head, only to remember that he was not wearing a top hat today, and moved his hand to his chest in embarrassment, tugged on the button, and murmured.

Facing the dim sunlight, the carriage passed through Iron Cross East Street, turned a corner, and drove towards its destination.
