Dorothy's Forbidden Tome

"You're so arrogant, Mortal Detective."

Seeing Edric with wide-eyed eyes and a terrified expression, the man murmured indifferently.

To his surprise, Edric, who had been stabbed in the vital part, did not fall down because of this. His originally terrified expression suddenly changed, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared on his mouth.

"You are the one who is arrogant, the assassin of 'Shadow'..."

"what……"

All of a sudden, Edric's hands grabbed forward, grabbing the astonished man's arm holding the knife in front of his eyes so tightly that he couldn't get rid of it.

At the same time, beside the man, on the unremarkable bed, there was a sudden bulge in the thin quilt that was usually covered, and three burly men came out of it and rushed towards the man.

Chapter 170 Five Ambushes

In the pitch-black night, the huge steam behemoth spewed thick smoke and continued to roar forward. In a private room in the first-class carriage, a long-planned ambush officially kicked off.

In the detective's talking room, one of the conversational parties suddenly jumped up and threw a knife into the detective's chest, but this did not make the detective fall down. Instead, the hand he sent was tightly grasped by the detective. At the same time, three strong and strong men suddenly appeared from under the unremarkable thin quilt against common sense.

Sensing someone coming from behind, the assassin man named Kim wanted to move sideways and escape into the wall beside him, but Dorothy, who had already sensed his intention, had already controlled Edrick to grab the man's hand tightly. A man with such strength can't get rid of it at all!

Before the man entered the private room, Dorothy had already controlled Edrick to quietly paste the life sigil, and the "cup" consumed by it was provided to Edrick by herself through the ring of the corpse puppet. At this time, Edric had super With superhuman strength, the man couldn't break free at all.

Neither "Shadow" nor "Stone" can strengthen a man's strength. Enhancing physical fitness is the effect of the "cup", so his physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people but not much stronger, so he can't break free from Edric at all. close bondage.

Just like that, the three corpse puppets specially selected by Dorothy rushed forward, and all of them threw themselves on the assassin man's body, grabbed his waist and abdomen with both hands and feet, covered his mouth, and lifted him off the ground so that he could not touch the ground. And the wall, unable to escape through the wall, the strongest one among these big man corpse puppets also put a life scorpion on it, which strengthened the control ability.

In the end, under the close siege of the four corpse puppets, the Assassin Men's Cup was firmly restrained, unable to speak, unable to move their hands, unable to lift their feet, unable to escape with a shield wall, and unable to use the sigil to break out of the siege.

At this moment, he is in a state of "the strong man locks up the man" and "the left and right are men".

Widening his eyes, the assassin man was extremely astonished. He had inspected this private room when he entered it. There was no place for hiding people to ambush, so he sat down and had a detective conversation with peace of mind, but the three big men How did it suddenly come out?

In fact, before leaving the private room, Dorothy opened the magic box and hid it under the quilt in advance. She has been controlling the three corpse puppets in the magic box in her private room and is ready to go. When it's time, just crawl out of the box and give the other party a surprise.

The restrained man was struggling crazily, but in front of many people and more "cups", his struggle was meaningless. After successfully controlling the enemy, it was time to finish the opponent.

Edric pulled out the knife that was stabbed in his chest, and then stabbed at the restrained and struggling man in front of him. The knife directly pierced the man's throat, but when the knife stabbed the man's skin, it seemed to have stabbed Like a hard object, with a bang, the tip of the knife was directly broken.

"Damn...it's the hardening of 'stone' again. If this guy's auxiliary spirituality is 'stone', then it's more or less hard. I heard Aldrich said that hardening is the standard ability of 'stone'..."

Assassin men are hardened, and knives cannot pierce through them. At this time, Dorothy plans to use a gun. The "stone" of the black soil steps can barely defend against bullets. The opponent will definitely not be able to defend against them, but if they shoot now, they will alarm the conductors outside the door. , If they come in, the situation in the room will be exposed, and Dorothy doesn't want to see this situation yet.

After thinking about it for a while, Dorothy manipulated the dead puppet and began to cover the man's mouth and nose with all her strength. The man's face turned red when he couldn't breathe, and his body struggled even more, but he still couldn't get rid of it. bundle.

As time passed, the man's struggle gradually became weaker, and finally stopped completely, his whole body was completely paralyzed. Dorothy confirmed the death of the man with the corpse puppet ring.

In this way, under a well-designed ambush, this assassin of the Black Soil rank was successfully hunted down by Dorothy almost without moving, and there was another Black Soil rank higher than her in her record.

Dorothy first called the people in the No. [-] compartment to talk one by one in the name of a jewelry theft case. After the talk, she let them go back and spread the content of her talk, so that the real target would be paralyzed. When, he will come naturally.

Then Dorothy's magic box and the characteristics of the puppet set up traps, so that a black order was killed quietly without any power to fight back. This was Dorothy's way to solve the opponent.

"Phew... done..."

With a sigh of relief, Dorothy controlled her puppet to put down the dead puppet man, and then began to scrape the things on him. The extra corpse got back into the magic box, and then Edric closed the magic box again.

After all this was done, Dorothy pulled the dead Assassin man up with the Necromancer Ring.

"The target was successfully killed, but this detective game has to have an ending."

In her own compartment, Dorothy murmured.

……

On the aisle of the first-class carriage, the conductor walked slowly from the duty room with two conductors. He asked after seeing the two conductors waiting in front of the private room.

"That Mr. Detective, how did the case go?"

"Mr. Detective has been asking us to bring people from the seventh car over for questioning. We have already asked twelve people, and now we are asking No. 13." A conductor replied to the conductor, and the conductor raised his eyebrows after listening. Slightly wrinkled, and then continued the opening.

"After asking so many questions, then... did he ask anything?"

"I don't know... Mr. Detective didn't disclose what he asked, but the current question took a bit too long. The other questions were finished in four or five minutes. Now this one has been asked for 5 minutes."

The conductor continued to answer, just as the conductor was thinking about something, suddenly there was a violent noise behind the door of the compartment guarded by the conductor.

Just as the conductor and conductors were stunned, the door of the private room suddenly opened, and a man in black rushed out of the door in a panic, and ran towards the aisle on one side, while another man behind him The figure followed closely behind.

"Don't try to run!"

With a sharp reprimand, Edric caught up with the fleeing figure in front and grabbed his clothes. Seeing that he could not escape, the figure punched Edric back, and Edric dodged the fist. Then he grabbed the arm of the escapee who was fighting back, and then made a full-body backhand throw, throwing the escapee hard to the ground.

Then, Edric took out a pistol from his clothes, pointed at the fugitives who fell on the ground, and then spoke solemnly under the watchful eyes of the conductor and conductors.

"It seems that my reasoning is correct, Mr. Kim, you are the murderer who killed Mr. Sodod, and you want to abscond in fear of crime? It's not that easy, you can't escape the sanction of the kingdom's law!"

Kim, who was thrown to the ground, slowly got up, looked at the detective with a gun in front of him with resentful eyes, and then responded.

"Tch... I would have almost made it if it weren't for you, damn detective..."

Chapter 170 Six Detective

In the aisle of the first-class carriage, Edric was confronting Kim. Under the witness of the conductors and the conductor, Edric pointed a gun at Kim and began to describe his crimes.

"You are an insatiable thief. Because you saw Mr. Sodold sleeping in his private room and the door of the private room was not locked, you became malicious and went in to steal, but who would have expected that Mr. Sodold would wake up in the process?" I came over and had a dispute with you in the private room, and you brutally killed him in the process, I'm right."

"...You are right. If that guy sleeps peacefully, he won't die. He asked for it!" Kim, who was sitting on the aisle floor, responded, while talking with a look on his face. While revealing a trace of cruelty, his words made other people present believe that Kim is the murderer, and he is also a vicious gangster!

"Catch it, you can't escape, and you need to pay for your evil deeds, Mr. Kim."

"Pay the price? Hmph! It's not that time yet!"

With a cold snort, Kim looked at the train conductor and conductor with fierce eyes, then pulled out a knife from his body, stood up and rushed towards them, looking at him, it seemed that he wanted to take hostages or pull A few pads.

Kim rushed towards the train conductor and conductor with a knife in his face. Seeing this scene, the train conductor looked flustered, but the conductor was quite calm. Facing the attack, he took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Kim. As he was about to fire another shot rang out from behind Kim.

"Bah!"

Edric shot Kim, Kim's attack was interrupted, and the whole person fell to the ground motionless, losing his life, and the conductor and conductor also looked at Edric.

"Unfortunately, it seems that the law cannot judge him. Compared with the trial of the law, I think the safety of your gentlemen is the most important. Regarding the cause of this Mr. Kim's death, please explain to the police later. .”

"Of course, your justice and marksmanship are admirable, Mr. Detective."

Put away his pistol, the captain said to Edric.

……

Afterwards, the conductors calmed the terrified passengers because of the gunshots, and then packed Kim's body. During this period, the curious conductor found Edric who was smoking a cigarette by the window.

"Dear Mr. Detective, thank you very much for your help in finding this heinous criminal, but I am also curious, how did you find him through a pile of bus tickets, can you tell us about your reasoning process?"

The driver said to Edric curiously, and Edric smiled and shook the ash out of the window before answering.

"Of course, Mr. Che Zhang, please go to the scene of the crime with me to have a look."

With that said, Edric walked to the "crime scene", the carriage where Sodod was, at this time Sodod's body had been removed, leaving behind bloodstains all over the floor.

Inside the case private room, Edric squatted down, and then pointed to a corner by the wall with his finger.

"Mr. Che Zhang, please look at this blood spot here, isn't it a bit strange?"

Following Edric's guidance, the captain also looked over, and found that the blood on the wall was indeed a bit weird.

The rest of this small piece of blood is in the form of normal liquid splashes, but one corner is a square corner, and there is a small red spot in the corner of the square, which looks very unnatural.

"This is……"

"The reason why this bloodstain looks like this is because the blood happened to drip on something when it dripped down. Part of it dripped on the ground, and part of it dripped on that thing. After the thing was taken away, the rest dripped on the ground. This is what happened on the ground.

"Judging from the traces on the ground, this thing has a small piece of paper with a square corner and a small hole in the middle. What does this remind you of, Mr. Che Zhang?"

Edric said to the captain with a smile, and the captain was stunned for a while.

"Small paper with holes... This is the ticket! The hole is the trace after the ticket was checked by the ticket inspector! The ticket fell out when the murderer was entangled with the deceased, and the blood of the deceased splashed on it, and then the murderer took the ticket, so Here is such a bloodstain.

"That's why you collect those tickets, you want to verify the blood."

The driver said clearly, and Edric nodded with a smile.

"Yes, because a ticket is needed to get out of the station, so he has to recycle the ticket. He is confident that after wiping off all the blood on the ticket, he can hide it from the world, but he doesn't know how things like blood can't be wiped clean. As a detective, I carry A chemical that can detect whether an object has been stained with blood."

Edric finished explaining, while the captain continued to nod his head and said in admiration.

"Oh...so that's how it is. You are able to observe such meticulous details at the scene, develop associations, and finally restore the truth. Mr. Ed, you are truly worthy of the name of a detective."

'Nonsense, I personally arranged the entire crime scene, and I made the blood stains myself, can I spot it at a glance without observing carefully? '

In her own private room, Dorothy, who was manipulating the puppet, thought that this so-called "murder scene" was arranged by her, and these traces were made to deal with the problems of the driver later.

"Listen to you... After checking the blood on the ticket, you should already know where the murderer is, so why didn't you inform us to catch the murderer directly, but summoned other passengers one by one, and finally summoned the murderer. What about it?" The driver then asked at this time, and Dorothy had already thought of a reason to deal with it, and she manipulated Mr. Edric to answer.

"This is because the murderer is extremely vicious and he is in a crowded second-class car. I am afraid that if we go directly to arrest him and push him into a hurry, he will hurt other passengers. In order to avoid meaningless casualties, I chose this method He called over and summoned the other passengers to lower his guard."

After Edric finished answering, and after listening to Edric's words, the captain's expression flickered with light, and there was a hint of admiration in Edric's eyes.

"Oh...so that's the case, have you considered the safety of other innocent passengers? It's really amazing!"

"Mr. Ed, your keen observation, clever wisdom, justice and benevolent heart opened my eyes today. You are really an excellent detective. I think a detective like you will have a great reputation one day. When we get to Tivian, the reporters will definitely be interested in what happened on the car tonight."

The driver spoke to Edric without hesitation in his praise, and Edric responded with a smile and grace.

"I don't seek fame, I just need to be able to pursue the truth and practice justice."

When the manipulation got here, Dorothy wanted Edrick to take out a small pipe and smoke a couple of puffs, but she gave up after touching it twice and found that there was no pipe on her body.

……

After explaining the secular version of the case to the captain, Edric said he was going back to rest. He excused that the table in the private room was not good, so he proposed to the captain to rest in the room where the interrogation was originally held. , and the bus captain must have readily agreed, and agreed to change cars without even checking the tickets.

In this way, Edric, a black household without a ticket, officially succeeded in evading fare.

Then, Dorothy threw Edric into the private room and closed the door, and waited for a while before recycling, while she sat at the table in her own car and began to sort out the harvest of this wave of "detective games". booty.

Chapter 170 Notes

In the dimly lit carriage, Dorothy began to sort out the Extraordinary items found on Sodold and Kim.

The first is Sodod. There are not many things on him, so Dorothy found a little storage, a mechanism ring, and two sigils.

The cache is a small red block of wood that contains 1 "cup".After careful inspection of the mechanism ring, Dorothy found that he could place spiritual storage and symbols in it. At a critical moment, as long as the ring was touched, the delicate spring mechanism inside would be activated, pressing the storage and symbols into the ring. The instant activation is done on the finger, which is convenient and fast, and there is no need to take out the seal and storage items slowly.And the seal is a "lamp" seal that I have never seen before.

'This kind of small mechanism is not bad. Although it is a purely mechanical mechanism without any special elements, it can realize the one-key activation of the seal, which can be used secretly, and can also be used in battle. It can be kept. '

Thinking in this way, Dorothy put away the mechanism ring and other things, and then looked at other things, that is, the things on Kim's body.

There are not many things on Kim, the valuables are the spiritual storage of "Shadow" in the shape of two silver coins, and a small black bottle, which contains less than 30ml of a colorless and odorless liquid, Doro Xi opened the spiritual visual observation of the identification technique and found that these liquids have spirituality, which is the dual spirituality of "shadow" and "cup".

'This seems to be...the kind of poison that Sodod took?There is spirituality in this venom, and it is because of the existence of this venom that Sodod, who was not hurt to the vitals, died in the end. '

Dorothy looked at the small bottle in front of her, thinking that it might be useful in the future, so she threw it into the magic box.To Dorothy's disappointment, although Kim did have spiritual reserves, there were only two of them. Dorothy directly used them to recharge her Obscuration Ring, allowing the already empty Spiritual Reservation to recover. At 2 o'clock, the state of "shadow".

I feel like 'Shadow' is still not enough. If I have the right seal and try my best, an apprentice-level 'Lamp' can find me, let alone a high-level 'Lamp' Extraordinary, after all A 'light' apprentice has at least 5 points in the blue bar 'light'. If you insist on fighting against them spiritually, you will definitely not be able to fight. '

Dorothy thought of this, and then she made up her mind that it would be best to stay away from the church in the future, and try not to provoke the Extraordinary of the church.

After sorting out the personal belongings of Sodod and Kim, Dorothy finally started the main event, that is, the mysterious goods that Sodod escorted and robbed by Kim, which was originally to be handed over to the Tivian Anyin Headquarters.

This item was originally supposed to be in Sodod's lockbox, but it was taken out by Kim directly with the ability to pass through the wall, and put into his own bag, and now this bag happened to be on Dorothy's desk.

Although Dorothy said that she promised Sodold to take the goods back, she did not promise him not to look at them. Dorothy planned to decide whether to return the goods to the Security Bureau after inspecting the goods. .

Without further ado, Dorothy opened Kim's bag. Inside was a briefcase with a seal from the Ulster Security Bureau, and a warning word was written on the seal.

"Drug awareness warning! Please read it after thorough preparation."

'Yoho~ Do you know poison?That feeling is good. '

Seeing the seal, Dorothy was taken aback, then peeled off the seal, opened the briefcase, and took out the contents.

What was contained in the briefcase was a thin notebook and a few photos, both of which were stained with a lot of blood.

"This is...books and photos? And with so much blood on it, it can't be Sodod's blood..."

With a puzzled expression, Dorothy picked up the little book and opened it, and found that the blood on it had already dried up and turned black. It was obvious that it hadn't been stained recently, so it couldn't be Thordod's blood. It is self-contained.

Without thinking about anything, Dorothy opened the book and read it carefully, and found that most of the handwriting inside had been covered by the infested blood and could not be seen clearly. Dorothy could barely see a part of it. After taking a quick look, she found that it was actually an investigation note.

What is recorded in the notes is that a team of hunters from the Ulster Security Bureau entered the Razor Mountains to conduct investigations and searches. The reason was that they received signs of secret religious activities here.

……
