Chapter 224 Reasoning Notes 5: The Final Game (34)
Outside the window is a city covered in black, and the shadows of buildings near and far float against the starry night sky.The room suddenly became dead silent again, and the sound disappeared. Xia Zao'an, who had just finished her long speech, picked up the water glass on the coffee table, raised her head and took a long gulp.

"It's just like this, what do you think?" After drinking the water, Xia Zao'an wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand while watching the expressions of the other two.Heikui A and the second generation looked silent, as if they still needed time to digest what she just said.

after awhile……

"The results of the forensic examination show that Xiu Z was not dead before you entered the warehouse," said the second generation.

"Yeah." Xia Zaoan nodded.

"During the time you were staying in the warehouse, Xiu Z died. That is to say, the murderer committed the murder during that time."

"Uh-huh."

"But how did the murderer sneak into the warehouse? Wasn't the warehouse a secret room at that time?"

"Hmm, it's a secret room. I... No, it was Edison who checked it carefully. Except for the door that can be remotely controlled, there is no other entrance in the warehouse, and even the skylight is screwed from the inside."

"If this is the case, is there some kind of mechanism set up that can lower the rope within a certain period of time to hang people up?"

"I... no, it was Edison who thought so too. However, no small mechanism was found in the warehouse. Ah... wait a minute... the other end of the rope hanging from the repairing Z is connected to a large plastic bucket. There is a slight trace of water beside the bucket, and that trace of water leads all the way to the air vent of the warehouse..." Edison seemed to remember something, and Xia Zaoan quickly relayed what he said.

"Wait a minute, what's in that plastic bucket?"

"It's an industrial cleaning chemical, and that's what it spilled on the floor."

"Oh..." The second generation frowned again, lost in thought.

Xia Zaoan glanced at Hei Kui A.From the beginning to the end, he didn't speak, and there was no change in his facial expression.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to help, but that he doesn't have the ability.

He also thought desperately, hoping to solve the mystery of the secret room murder.But he is still not the real Heikui A, he is just Mikaka who has been playing a supporting role.Thinking of this, Mikaka's heart was occupied by sadness, he hated such an incompetent self, if he could be as powerful as Saiki, he would be able to play the role of Heokui A perfectly.

"You've done a good job." In the dark, Mi Kaka seemed to hear Qi Mu's whisper.Will the dead soul bless me in heaven?Don't worry, Saiki, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations.Mikaka thought stubbornly.

It's strange to say that before this, Mika Ka Qimu had never liked him. It can even be said that he had an inexplicable sense of resistance to Qimu.It's no wonder that Qi Mu is smarter, more handsome, and more popular, and gradually replaces him, becoming the role beside Xia Zao'an.Especially after Mikaka knew that Qi Mu was Hei Kui A, he disliked Qi Mu even more.

only……

It was only when the L headquarters stopped Ye Shenyue's conspiracy that Mi Kaka changed Qi Mu completely.

His impression of Hei Kui A is only that he is evil and murderous.But if you think about it carefully, Heikui A killed all the bad guys, but in the end he dedicated his life for the human beings and the world he once hated...

He's not a bad guy, but a lone watchman.

Section VIII Zodiac Killer

The night is darker, and the city is like a quiet deep sea.After 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, everything is silent, there is only one room at the end of the second floor in the residential building, like a dark and cold pupil, the faint light is still on, and a figure is faintly swaying on the curtain.

Downstairs of the residents, a person came from afar.He stopped on the side of the road and looked up at the still-lit room.So you are hiding here... He thought to himself, and then his figure was swallowed at the entrance of the corridor.As light as footsteps on moss, there was no sound at all, and the figure appeared outside the door of the room later.

On the other side of the door, Edison, the second generation, Heikui A and others were still thinking hard about the mystery of the murder in the secret room, when a sudden knock on the door interrupted their thoughts.

"Dong dong dong" - in the night when even the wind was dead, these three sounds suddenly spread throughout the black territory.

"Huh—" The three gasped at the same time, staring nervously at the door.

Only the three of them knew this place, and it was impossible for anyone else to visit. Moreover, it was already late at night... With a nervous mood, the three looked at each other.Who are the people outside?They were a little overwhelmed by the question.

"Dong dong dong—" The light knock on the door seemed to penetrate the door and spread slowly in the narrow room.

"Turn off the light." Edison said to Hekui A in a low voice.At such a dangerous moment, Xia Zao'an naturally handed over his body to Edison to take care of.Hei Kui A immediately stood up lightly and turned off the light.The room suddenly became dark, and the moonlight outside the window clearly stood out like a relief.

"Hey hey hey! I know you are inside!" The person standing outside the door smiled triumphantly, "If you don't open the door again, I will kick the door in!"

No one dared to move, cold sweat welled up on everyone's forehead.Edison stood up, walked to the door quietly, and observed the situation outside through the peephole on the door.The person standing outside the door seemed to be a man, wearing a hat and lowering his head, he couldn't see his appearance clearly, the whole person was shrouded in shadow, which added a touch of mystery to him.

Not sure if this visitor was an enemy or a friend, Edison made a gesture to the other two, and the second generation and Heikui A were ready to subdue each other.Then, the doorknob clicked, and Edison opened the door.The shadow of the person who appeared at the door was dragged long by the moonlight and reflected into the room.There he stood, blocking all light from outside, a strange laugh coming from under the brim of his hat.

"Who are you?" Edison asked, hiding from the visitors.

"It's me!" The tone suddenly changed from gloomy to cheerful, and the visitor took off his hat with a smile.

Moonlight climbed onto the mysterious face, clearly drawing the man's facial features.

"Ah! Why is it you?!" Seeing that familiar face, Edison couldn't help blurting out.

The lights were turned on again.The goose-yellow light diffused in the center of the table, and four people gathered together in a warm tone.

"Uncle, where have you been?" Xia Zao'an asked.The danger alert was lifted, and she regained control of her body.Sitting opposite her was the visitor just now——Meng Jin.They haven't seen each other for a long time, and for a while she thought Meng Jin was missing.

"I'm going to America!" Meng Jin looked at Xia Zaoan puzzledly, "Didn't you tell me to go?"

"Me? Where?! Is that your name, Edison?!" she asked the other person in her body.

The answer was no, Edison hadn't contacted Meng Jin for a long time.

"That's weird." Meng Jin rubbed his beard on his chin vigorously with his big hand.He seemed to be busy all the time, his face was full of fatigue, and he didn't even bother to shave his beard, "You sent me to America obviously, so maybe I'm still a ghost?"

"When?"

"Three months ago."

"Oh..." At that point in time, it happened to be when Joker's final game started.Edison pondered, and then asked through Xia Zaoan's mouth: "Then, tell me about the situation when you met that "I"."

"Ah? Could that really not be you? Impossible, that look..." Meng Jin's face was livid, he swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and said breathlessly, "I received your call the other day, and you asked me out Meet, after the meeting, you gave me a mission to go to the United States to conduct a secret investigation."

"Huh? Investigate what?"

"Investigate a criminal named Sun Chenming."

"What's wrong with this criminal?" This time it was Xia Zao'an who spoke.

Meng Jin took out a stack of documents from his briefcase, and an old wanted warrant was scattered on the desktop.

"Zodiac!" As soon as his eyes fell on the wanted warrant, Edison called out.

It was a wanted warrant more than 40 years ago, the paper was slightly yellowed, and it was written in English.Xia Zaoan, whose English is so bad, couldn’t understand a word, but Edison in his body took the trouble to explain to her that the Zodiac Killer is the most mysterious serial killer in the United States. No one knows any information about him, let alone kill him Arrest made.The series of cases he committed have become famous unsolved cases in American history.

"Could it be that this Sun Chenming is the Zodiac Killer?"

The light of the electric light was too weak, and Edison's hands clutching the wanted warrant trembled a little, and the excitement in his heart could not be expressed in words.This is the Zodiac Killer!The most famous murderer in the world!He never expected to see his true face in his lifetime!
"That's right, this Zodiac is a Chinese." Meng Jin nodded fiercely, "No, to be more precise, he is a Chinese-American. He immigrated to San Francisco with his parents very early. At that time, Asian immigrants There is no status in the United States, so the Zodiac Killer has been bullied by white children since he was a child, which may be the main reason for his psychological distortion. In short, after he grew up, that is, in the 70s, he He started to commit a series of murders in the United States. He was not caught until he killed the 12th person. However, because the cases he committed were too perfect, the American police were afraid that the public would imitate his crimes and dare not announce the truth, so the outside world Always thought the Zodiac was still on the loose."
