Chapter 40 Reasoning Notes 1:12 Tsundere Detective (40)
"Hehe, don't be nervous! I'm just a guard here. I just transferred here today. I heard that there are evil spirits imprisoned here, so I'm very interested." The man said.Judging from the voice, it was a young man, probably only eighteen or nineteen years old.However, there are no such young policemen.Edison thought to himself, and took another serious look at the man outside the cell.

Although the man stood in the shadows and couldn't see his face clearly, he was wearing a police uniform and seemed to be a real policeman here.

Edison recalled his deduction just now, and asked, "You mean, the evil spirits have accomplices?"

The man smiled heartily: "I guess. It's usually said in detective novels."

"Detective story?"

"That's right. I've read a lot of detective novels, and many of the murderers in them commit crimes with the help of their accomplices. So, I think, the evil spirits should also have accomplices."

Edison mused, it's not like he hasn't considered this possibility.

"Does the evil spirit have an accomplice? But, he committed crimes by himself before...Why do you think he has an accomplice?"

Edison turned his attention to the police outside the cell again.The man came closer, half of his body was exposed in the moonlight, and the slender lines clearly extended from the neck to the collarbone, but the face was still hidden in the darkness.This person seems to be deliberately hiding himself.

"I think," the man's voice resounded in the darkness, like ice falling in winter, and it was heard clearly, "the evil spirit has an accomplice, because every time he commits a crime, he deliberately leaves a card behind. card. And what does this playing card mean to him? I guess it's his identification."

"personal I.D?"

Edison became interested in the policeman.The man nodded his head, his chin flashed in the moonlight, and then quickly retracted.

The man continued to analyze: "Well. Why does the evil spirit leave a 9 of squares playing card every time after committing a crime? I have read some books on criminal psychology. Experts say that this type of evidence generally represents the murderer. The murderer is eager to prove his existence value to the world, so this 9 of diamonds is likely to be the murderer's status symbol."

"But square 9, can you explain who the murderer is?"

The man said slowly in a calm tone: "If there is a 9 of diamonds, then there is a 10 of diamonds, maybe there is a king of hearts or something. By the way, isn't the biggest card in the poker Joker?!"

"Joker?"

The biggest cards in a deck of cards are two cards called Joker, which usually have a clown pattern on the surface.Edison was secretly surprised, because he felt that what the man said was not unreasonable.According to the modus operandi of the evil ghost, the evil ghost does not seem to be a first-time murderer.If you are a member of a criminal group...

Ah!
Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his head, and his nerves seemed to be eaten by countless ants.Edison hugged his head, bit his mouth tightly and did not speak.He wondered why there was such pain, as if some terrible memory had just been touched.

"Are you okay?" The policeman outside the cell saw his abnormality and asked.

"I'm fine." Edison replied with restraint.He rubbed his temples with his thumbs, and the pain eased a little, but it still hit his brain fiercely like waves.

Is the source of all pain from that Joker?Does he know it?
"You continue to talk." Edison said to the outside, he really wanted to hear how the man analyzed it.

The man was not polite, paused, and continued: "According to my analysis, the evil spirit is likely to be a member of some kind of criminal group, and his accomplices may be more senior than him. Think about it, his The playing card is a 9 of diamonds, aren't those JQK cards bigger than 9?"

It seemed that the pain was not so great, Edison took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down his mind.He said: "So, do you think that the evil spirit has an accomplice to help? Then, how did that accomplice help him escape from this detention center?"

He was actually answered with a burst of laughter.In the heavy darkness, the laughter echoed for a long time, like a poisonous snake, licking its toes inch by inch.

Edison frowned slightly.The man said: "Have you ever thought that the evil spirit's accomplice may not have helped him escape from prison, but helped him kill Zhong Xintong? Although a poker card of square 9 was also left at the door of Zhong Xintong's room, but It is very likely that the accomplice left behind in order to pretend to be an evil spirit."

"Well, yes, there is a possibility. But how did the evil spirit escape from the detention center? The guarding policeman said he escaped."

"Well..." The man in the dark contemplated, but quickly said, "Did the evil spirit really escape? If the accomplice helped kill Zhong Xintong, the evil spirit would not have escaped." It is necessary."

"Then how could the guarding policeman say that the evil spirit escaped? He couldn't be lying for the evil spirit, right?"

"No, no, I'm afraid the policeman was also misled. He saw the note left by the evil spirit, and his brain was filled with preconceived illusions. Once he found that there was no one in the cell, he naturally thought that the evil spirit had escaped. .Actually, the evil spirits are always in the cell.”

Hearing this, Edison thought to himself: This guy!

He ignored the headache and stood up.This behavior of his seemed to startle the person, and he saw the figure retreating slightly, half of his body hidden in the darkness again.

Although Edison had the urge to run out, he suppressed it and said calmly: "I have to admit that your reasoning is very likely to be correct. The evil spirit did not escape, but hid itself."

"Oh?" It was the other party who asked the question this time, and he asked with interest, "How do you think the evil spirit hides in such a small space?"

Edison turned and looked around the cell, smiling slightly.
