Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

Among these four letters, among these four benefactors, who is the Extraordinary, the one who killed Maria and turned her into a corpse?

Looking at the four letters in front of Ed's eyes, Dorothy fell into deep thought. She was thinking about how to quickly find out the real culprit.

After much deliberation, Dorothy finally came up with... divination!

That's right, Dorothy has now divined the real culprit out of these four candidates, even if the other party has a counter-divination, because Dorothy can use the counter-divination of the other party to determine which of the four letters is the right one. ask.

Now Dorothy only needs to perform divination on the four letters one by one, and set the divination language as "whether the writer of this letter is a Extraordinary who wants to harm Maria." That's it.

This divination directly related to the murderer who was protected by anti-divination, so if Dorothy only used a little resources, divination would not produce a result, and the greatest result would be no result.

These four letters are divined one by one. If the divination comes out, it proves that the writer of that letter is not the murderer. If the divination fails, it means that the divination against the writer of this letter has been reversed. If it interferes, it proves that there is something wrong with the writer of this letter.

According to this method, Dorothy divined the four letters one by one, and the one that was disturbed to the point of no result was the one.

Dorothy thought of a way, but didn't do it immediately, because although this way was feasible, it might waste a lot of "lights".

'No way... If I'm too unlucky to do divination four times in a row, and finally get the problematic letter, wouldn't that wave cost me four points of 'light', the previous divination has already consumed two points, Now it's four o'clock again... This is too much. '

Dorothy thought this way, although such a method of trial and error is effective, it is too stupid, like playing a mobile game to draw character pools, the kind that guarantees four consecutive bottoms. Play all draws, and finally be a guarantor.

Dorothy is not the kind of person who likes to gamble, so she is too willing to use this method of divination for divination.

'No, I can't waste my spirituality like this. There must be some good divination method that can save my spirituality and get into my soul. '

Chapter 270 Seeking Interest

In the huge venue of Feiteng Theater, the performances are still going on. With the help of the host, there are non-stop shows, dramas, tricks, dances, singing... Wonderful shows are staged on the stage one after another. It won rounds of applause from the audience.

The programs on the stage are wonderful, but the nature of the audience is constantly weakening. The waves of applause are not as high as the waves. This is not because the programs on the stage are not good, but because the theme seems to be off track.

The show featured the famous dancer Adele, but she never appeared again except for the opening and the fourth dance, and after the fourth dance, there was no Adele. Del's figure made many viewers who came here to see Adele a little dissatisfied, and there were small discussions in the venue from time to time.

"It's strange... It's been a few shows... Why hasn't Miss Adele appeared yet?"

Sitting somewhere in the front row of the audience, Nephness murmured while watching the show on the stage, and then she turned her head to look at Dorothy beside her.

"Miss Dorothea, Miss Adele hasn't shown up for such a long time, is there something wrong?"

"Problem? Maybe... But the performance is not over yet, we can wait and see." Dorothy simply responded to Nephness's words, and then continued to look at the stage with a silent expression and was still performing Looking at the Dorothy in front of me, I thought of Nephness in my heart.

"Miss Dorothea seems to be a little absent-minded. Sure enough, she also thinks that the show is not good at the beginning?"I hope that Ms. Adele can come on stage soon...'

Nephness was thinking in her heart like this, but at this moment Dorothy's main thoughts were indeed not on the stage, but in the living area behind the backstage of the theater, in Maria's room. She was using Ed's vision to stare at the four letters on the table, four of which she had just found out, one of which was a letter for the real murderer of Maria.

'What method can be used to divination out the real culprit with the least cost? '

Looking at the four envelopes on the table in front of her with Ed's vision, Dorothy thought in her heart that if she didn't want to find a suitable divination method, but tried each of these envelopes, she might end up with The result of a surety.

The spirituality of the "lamp" is still cherished, and Dorothy has not yet reached the point where she can squander the "lamp" at will.

'Perhaps I can divide them into two parts... Divinate the two parts separately, split the problematic part and perform another divination. In this way, I can use two divinations to solve the problem stably... But two times of divination It also consumes at least two points of 'light', can it be less? '

Dorothy thought of the first plan in her mind, but this kind of plan will definitely cost two "lights". From Dorothy's point of view, she seems to be able to reduce this consumption to less.

'Thinking about it again, I seem to be able to lower this consumption, if there is a more suitable method...

'For example, can I directly divination'Which of the writers in these letters has malice towards Maria'... No, this divination directly involves those guys themselves, and the divination will fail due to counter-divination. '

Dorothy thought in her heart that under the protection of anti-divination, as long as the target of divination involves the protected object, the divination will fail. Ask the four senders who is malicious, and the target of divination is anti-divination To protect the murderer, this will not come to fruition.

The reason why Dorothy was able to find the location of the Tibetan letter with a cane divination just now is because the target of the divination is the letter itself, not the person who wrote it.

'As long as the object of divination involves the murderer, then the divination must fail... Then... can we do the opposite, and divination which letters were not written by the murderer? '

Dorothy thought about it like this. Following this line of thought, after thinking for a while, she suddenly had an idea.

'Yes... can I do this...'

Thinking about it, Dorothy asked Ed to pick up the paper and pen on the table. She first manipulated Ed to use the pen to put consecutive numbers on the four envelopes, marking the four letters as 1.2.3.4 , and then began to arrange and combine these four numbers on a piece of paper, each of which is a group of three.

Then, Dorothy got 123, 124, 134, 234, these four combinations.

Then, Dorothy asked Ed to use the scissors on the table to cut the four combinations from a piece of paper into four small strips, each with a three-number combination written on it.

After cutting the paper strips, under Dorothy's control, Ed crumpled the four paper strips into four small paper balls, put them all in a pen container, and then Ed took out the painting from his body There is a piece of paper with a divination circle, put the pen holder with the note behind the circle on the paper, and put a gold coin on the circle for consumption.

All of this is the preparatory process for signing divination.

After everything was ready, Dorothy began to prepare for the divination, and she silently recited the divination words in her heart.

"In No. 1234, among the four letters I wrote, the one who did not have any malice towards Maria Dorcana is..."

After the oracle words were recited silently, Dorothy began to control Ed to draw lots. Ed took out a small ball of paper from the pen container with his hand. At the same time, the luster of the gold coins on the magic circle became dim.

Ed took the drawn ball of paper in his hand, unfolded it, and restored it into a note. Using Ed's vision, Dorothy saw the combination of numbers written on the ball of paper, "124".

124. According to the divination language used by Dorothy in the previous divination, the writers of the letters No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 had no malice towards Maria, and the only ones who were malicious were those who were not here. Number 3 inside.

Anyway, the divination will only take effect when the divination will target the protection target, invalidating this divination, and this time, in Dorothy's divination, it is aimed at the writer who has no malicious intentions, and does not directly target The murderer himself was protected by anti-divination, so he was able to succeed.Of course, this method of divination is not tried all the time, because the more direct the divination, the better. If the overall ritual is too complex and complicated, the structure of the divination ritual will be unstable and thus invalid.Fortunately, there are only four letters now, and there are only four groups of permutations. If there are more letters and more permutations and combinations, making the ceremony more complicated and bloated, the ceremony will not work.

Dorothy used this combination of numbering and divination by lottery to draw out three non-malicious letters at once, and confirmed that the writers of their letters were not the murderers, so the only remaining murderers were those who were not among them On the 3rd, and in this series of operations, Dorothy only performed one divination from the beginning to the end, and spent a "lamp" storage.

"Finally, I found you..."

Let Ed pick up the envelope numbered 3 from the table, Dorothy thought so in her heart, then she didn't stop, and directly opened the envelope and looked at the letter inside.

With Ed's vision, after skipping a bunch of love words in the letter, Dorothy locked her eyes on the signature of the letter, but there was no real name written there, but a letter "B" .

'Didn't you use your real name to contact Maria?But it doesn't matter, as long as the things are in hand, everything will be fine. '

Dorothy thought this way, and then she asked Ed to find out all the letters signed by B, cleaned up the scene briefly, and left Maria's room.

After leaving the living area, Dorothy asked Ed to find Adele directly. After Ed opened the door and entered Adele's room, Adele, who was sitting on the sofa drinking red wine, immediately turned her eyes away On to Ed.

"Hey~ Mr. Detective is coming back really soon. Judging by your appearance, what have you gained?"

Adele said to Ed, and Ed nodded in response.

"Yes, the harvest is good. I found the letter from Maria's problematic benefactor..."

As he said that, Ed walked towards Adele, and then placed a stack of letters on the tea table in front of Adele. After picking up a random letter and examining it, Ed said to Ed: .

Chapter 270 Seeking Interest

"That's where I found it... I just asked Lufu, and he said that Maria's private life is a little messy, and there may be more than one benefactor. I'm worried that you won't be able to find the letter you want for a while."

"I have my way, well, now that the most important thing has been found, I will ask Miss Adele to help you." Ed continued to talk to Adele, listening to Ed's words Adele glanced at these words, and looked at Ed's words.

"Ask me to help? Then, Mr. Detective, what do you think I can do for you now?"

Listening to Adele's words, Ed looked at her solemnly, and then said.

"Miss Adele, you are an Extraordinary of 'Cup', and you are not a low-level 'Cup'."

Dorothy asked Adele to ask directly, the dancer...red...desire...will have hatred with wolf blood...the combination of these key points, Adele's extraordinary path is already obvious, she is a The extraordinary way of the "cup" can be taken care of by the wolf blood society, which proves that her class is not too low.

"Yes, isn't that obvious~"

Adele responded as a matter of course, and Ed continued to talk after getting the other party's affirmation.

"Since Miss Adele is an Extraordinary of the 'Cup', she must know some way to improve the sense of smell. After all, the sensory expression of the 'Cup' includes the sense of smell, so I want you to rely on the common sense in these letters. breath, and bring out the murderer."

Dorothy controlled Ed and said this. He learned this trick from Bill. When Bill was at the Eagle Winter Charity, he almost found himself out with the "cup" smell. , and now Adele is obviously a higher-level upper-middle-level "cup" association, so it must be possible to do the same.

Although the letter has been sent by many hands and smells of many people at the same time, there are multiple letters in it. Although the multiple letters are handled by different postmen, the writer and the recipient are the same, so as long as Find the common smell in the letter, remove the smell of Maria and Roof, and the remaining smell is the writer's.

If you ask why the letter writer, being a Beyonder, doesn't use "Shi Zhifen" to remove the smell when sending letters, it's because there are more than one Extraordinary in the theater. If Ya fell into the hands of the Extraordinary under Adele before receiving it, it is very likely that the problem will be seen.

For example, after Dorothy used stone wisdom powder to remove the smell of the hair ornament with the road sign seal, she gave it to Anna for tracking. The hair ornament itself was removed and brought to Anna. Under the cover, Bill couldn't find the problem with the hair accessory, but if the odorless hair accessory fell into Bill's hands alone, then Bill would immediately discover the problem, because the lack of smell itself is the biggest problem. abnormal.

If the letter writer used Shi Zhifen to deodorize the letter before sending it back, then when he arrived at Lufu's place, Lufu, who was born as an Extraordinary, would find the problem at a glance, and their whole relationship would not continue.

Therefore, Dorothy can be sure that the letter has the smell of the writer. As long as the smell can be identified, then there will be clues to find the murderer.

Listening to Ed's words, Adele smiled slightly, and then continued to speak.

"It seems that you have a lot of hidden knowledge, Mr. Detective, yes, as a 'cup', I do have the ability to deeply identify smells, and the method of finding the murderer I mentioned is indeed feasible, but... I myself It’s a bit of a big fanfare to look for it, I think you should do it for a little bit.”

With that said, Adele stood up from her own position, came to the side of the dark room, took out something from a delicate box, and after returning to the sofa to finish, she handed it to Ed There are three sigils and three pieces of jerky.

"These breath-seeking sigils, by consuming 'cups', can allow you to have a stronger sense of smell than ordinary tasters in a short period of time, and stronger than ordinary taste-discriminating sigils. Using them, you can distinguish The smell on the letter, find the owner of the smell in this theater.

"This thing is quite precious, and I don't have many. I have given you all three of the collection. There are also these dried meats, which are all 'cups' spiritual storage, providing you with the spirituality needed for the seal."

Listening to Adele's words, Dorothy asked Ed to take the sigil and jerky curiously, and after inspecting the jerky in his hand, Ed said.

"What kind of meat is this? It can't be human flesh, right? If it's human flesh, I'll forget it."

"Hey~ It turns out that Mr. Extraordinary Detective's moral bottom line is quite high, which is really rare, is he worthy of being a righteous detective?" Seeing Ed's response like this, Adele said with great interest, she felt that she He became more and more interested in the man in front of him.

"Don't worry, this is not human flesh, it's beef. Although human flesh is indeed the best choice for 'cup' storage and has always been favored by the blood eaters, not all 'cup' storage must be human flesh.

"Although some associations of 'cups' also eat the flesh of living beings to accumulate spirituality, they mainly eat the meat of livestock and animals. Although the spirituality in animal flesh and blood is much worse than that in humans, it is extremely difficult to absorb , but if the method is proper, it is still possible to obtain a 'cup' from animal flesh and blood, these dried animal meat storages are all made by them, you can try it, it tastes very good."

Adele explained slowly, and while listening to Adele's explanation, Ed looked at the jerky in his hand, and it seemed that he couldn't tell whether it was human flesh, so he had to first Put it away.

'Forget it, put it away first, anyway, I can use my own 'cup' to drive the sigil. '

Dorothy thought of this, and then asked Ed to put away the sigil and storage, and then she asked Ed to ask Adele again.

"Thank you, Ms. Adele, for your support. Now I can finally find the murderer, but in order to reduce the scope of the search for a while, I have another question to ask you. Ms. Adele, you can passively perceive the limit of murderous desire. How far is the range?"

"With me as the center and a radius of 137 meters, I can perceive all desires targeting me within this range." Adele replied directly, and Dorothy asked Ed to click nod.

Then, Dorothy closed her eyes, recalled the floor plan of the theater she saw in the management office just now, and then drew it in her mind like a drawing software, taking Adele as an example. The range of activities on the stage is the reference origin. According to the scale given in the picture, a great circle of 137 meters is drawn.

This big circle includes many places in the theater, and even most of the auditorium, that is to say, the murderer will not be within this range, otherwise his murderous intentions will be perceived by Adele arrive.

Adele's circle of perception helped Dorothy eliminate most of the search area at once, and now he only needs to go to the very few remaining peripheral areas, where he can look for the murderer's scent.

And it won't take long to find these few marginal areas.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Adele, I think... this search has come to an end, please wait for the good news..."

With that said, Ed was about to get up and leave, but Adele stopped Ed before he was about to leave, and said to Ed's back with a serious expression.

"Mr. Detective, if you really find the wolf cub hiding in this theater, don't act rashly, remember to inform me, those guys are very dangerous."

Hearing Adele's words, Ed paused slightly, then he turned around and said to Adele with a smile.

"I can understand that... are you caring about me? Miss Adele?"

"...I just want to personally kill the person who dared to make trouble at my show and kill Maria. Don't get me wrong. Of course~ if an excellent detective like you dies because of rash actions, I will also would be a pity."

Adele spoke to Ed quite seriously, and Ed smiled and saluted Adele, then turned and opened the door and walked out of the room.

Now, it's time to find out the murderer.

Chapter 270 Five Dance Again

Feiteng Theater, in the huge main venue, the performances on the stage are still going on, although because of Adele's long absence, the eyes of complaints in the auditorium are somewhat revealed, in the intermission between the shows, there are many The audience began to shout Adele's name, wanting to appeal to Adele to come out quickly, while some audience members with more sensitive nerves vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Although due to Adele's long-term absence, resentment among the audience is growing, but because the quality of the current performance itself is not bad, there is no phenomenon of leaving the show, but if Adele does not appear again, things may go wrong There has been a further shift.

In the main venue, most of the area is auditorium, and on the edge of the fully-occupied auditorium, further away from the stage, there are boxes surrounding the auditorium, and in Adele's performance Those who can afford to book a box have a certain status even in Tivian.

Byron is such a person. He is the son of the chief director of Preet Haibo Shipping Company. He is a veritable young master of a rich family. The excitement and fun, so he haunts various nightclubs all year round, and once again by chance, he found the most extreme excitement and happiness.

Dressed in a decent suit and with golden hair combed back, Byron was sitting on the sofa in a box on the edge of the venue, sipping a glass of red wine while watching the performance on the stage in the distance, with a hint of indifference in his expression .

"It doesn't feel good to be in trouble, Adele."

In the private room, Byron muttered while eating dried fruit. On the coffee table in front of him were fine wine and desserts, which were the delicacies that came with the luxurious private room.

At this moment, the door of the box was opened, and a man dressed as a servant walked in. After closing the door, he came to Byron's side, and said respectfully.

"Master..."

"How's the situation outside now?" Turning his head to look at the servant beside him, Byron asked, and the servant replied immediately.

"The police seem to have taken over the scene. The scene of Maria's death has been sealed off, making it impossible to go there. People in the theater and the police are patrolling everywhere. The gate of the theater is tightly guarded. They are not allowed to go out now. It is said that they will wait until the performance. Finish."

The servant told Byron the news he had inquired. After listening, Byron nodded slightly, and then continued to ask questions.

"And what about Adele?"

"I didn't see Adele. This situation happened. Maybe it's because of the police's special attention." The servant responded in this way, and Byron continued to murmur in a deep voice.

"It should be. If this kind of thing happened, if she ran away or attacked the police, then don't want the reputation that she worked so hard to earn. Although it's a pity that she couldn't kill her this time, at least she should be famous. Damaged, this is the minimum requirement.

"Hmph... But it's still annoying to think about it. I approached that bitch patiently and spent a lot of time and money to make her happy, just to use her to get close to Adele and assassinate her. I didn't expect this thing to start malfunctioning at the last moment, what a disappointment!"

While talking, Byron looked at his hand, and what he was holding there was a small button-like ornament. On the ornament, there was a circle of hands holding hands, dancing The villain, this is Byron's extraordinary prop used to control the meat puppets, and he got it from the association.
