After the end of the fourth night of the Holy Grail War, El-Melloi II finally got his wish and returned to his messy kennel, lying on a soft bed.
He thought he would be able to sleep until dusk, but within two hours he was woken up by a series of life-threatening calls from Hisri Nagano.
"Damn it! Which bastard is calling? Why didn't you answer it and kept calling for the second or third time? Do you have any insight!"
El-Melloi II, who was so disturbed by the ringing of the phone, put on some clothes indiscriminately, and angrily came to the desk with his slippers on.
"Hey! I don't accept sales, I don't apply for memberships, and I don't need any door-to-door service... If nothing happens, I will hang up the phone."
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Monarch El-Melloi II, if it wasn't for the importance of this matter, I wouldn't want to disturb your sleep at this time."
The slightly smiling voice of Hisari Hanano came from the receiver. She felt Weber's current irritability and fully understood the other party's hard work.
"The Legal Affairs Division received a report from the airport in the morning that a magician from the clock tower was killed in the toilet on the plane."
"What does this trivial matter have to do with me?" El-Melloi II was confused when he heard the words, and argued, "I am the monarch of the modern magic department, not a detective of the law and politics department. Find me? Miss Huaye, you shouldn't be that incompetent, are you?"
"What you said is true, but this case is not ordinary." Hua Ye Lingli explained the reason unhurriedly: "The injuries on the deceased's body are exactly the same as those of Lord Kenneth, and the murderer used similar modus operandi. After an on-site investigation, it was preliminarily judged to be the same person."
As soon as these words came out, El-Melloi II fell silent immediately, holding the receiver for a long time without making a sound, and his hazy sleepy eyes became clear.
After so many years, the ghost-like murderer finally showed up again. This time, we must find out his real body and avenge Mr. Kenneth.
"Send a special car to pick me up, and tell your driver to bring me a breakfast by the way, no fish and chips, and take the funds from your legal department."
"Okay... How about KFC? If you like McDonald's, it's fine. I'll ask the driver to bring it to you."
After putting down the phone, El-Melloi II called Gray again, and dragged his little apprentice who had just fallen asleep from the bed.
After El-Melloi II finished grooming and put on his suit, Gray and Reinis had already arrived downstairs, and the special car from the Law Department also arrived.
"Brother, you look like a panda now."
Lenis stared at the dark circles under El-Melloi II's eyes with a smile, then turned her head to look at the naturally beautiful Gray.
"Grey didn't. It's obvious that you two stayed up all night together. It seems that older people are physically fragile."
Lenis said this and stretched out her hand to support El-Melloi II's arm very naturally, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
As the true heir of the El-Melloi family, Lenise naturally received a notification from Hano Hisri and learned about the case that happened on the plane.
After learning about this, she immediately rushed to Brother Yi's place. With Wei Bo's stubborn temperament, he would never miss the opportunity to find out the real culprit.
From the bottom of her heart, Reinis doesn't really care who killed Kenneth, and she has no relationship with Kenneth, saying that they know each other very reluctantly.
But she also knew that Kenneth was unusual in Weber's mind, so she was willing to fully support Weber to avenge the previous Patriarch who died in vain.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Weber himself can't have any problems, and Laynis doesn't want to get El-Melloi II in order to avenge the previous generation.
"Master, are you okay?"
Gray looked at El-Melloi II worriedly, fearing that his master with a fairy face would drive him west at any time.
Although El-Melloi II often did this in the past, but this time he was spinning for too long. If he didn't take a good rest, he might die suddenly.
Gray felt that she didn't care. Ever since she became a sub-servant, she found that her energy was so strong that she couldn't finish it. Even if she didn't sleep for seven days, she probably wouldn't feel sleepy at all. Pillows to fall asleep in no time.
"It's okay, I still slept for more than an hour..."
What El-Melloi II said was not so much an explanation, but more like comfort, or self-comfort, which made people feel extremely pitiful.
"This case is very important, we can't waste too much time, otherwise the cunning murderer may escape without a trace."
Hearing what El-Melloi II said, Gray and Lenis had nothing to say. All they could do now was to stay by Weber's side silently.
After arriving at London International Airport, El-Melloi II boarded the Clock Tower's special plane under the leadership of the staff of the Legal Affairs Department and arrived at the crime scene.
Huaye Hishiri was standing outside the toilet where the incident happened, and because El-Melloi II wanted to see it, she kept the original murder scene.
"Your Excellency, you are here."
Hanano Hisri bowed slightly and saluted, then moved his body to the side to make way for passable roads.
"The name of the deceased was Boris Williams, aged 34, who was a member of the three-generation family and was the chief purser on the plane. We received a report an hour ago, and after investigation, we judged that he was killed no more than two Hours, killed in flight."
"Sorry to trouble you, Miss Huano."
El-Melloi II nodded to this old acquaintance, and then turned his serious eyes to the scene of the crime.
This is an employee toilet, so it looks like a normal airplane.
In the narrow bathroom, there is a mirror, a sink and a toilet.
The victimized magician sat helplessly on the toilet, leaning against the wall of the bathroom, trying not to fall down.
There was still panic and fear in those eyes that were dying, and it seemed that he hadn't figured out what happened until his death.
His feet and legs were tightly bound with rope, his hands were tied behind his back, and his mouth seemed to have been gagged.
There was a hideous and terrifying wound on his neck, which seemed to have been sealed with a knife, and the blood flowed to the floor after soaking through his clothes.
El-Melloi II turned his head to look at the toilet door again, and felt the residual magic aura from above, but there was no trace of magic other than that.
Sure enough, it was like this again. The murderer seemed to have sneaked onto the plane quietly without using any magic assistance, and kidnapped and killed the victim.
"Grey..."
El-Melloi II didn't need to say anything as the considerate young apprentice handed over a pair of white gloves.
After putting on his gloves and shoe covers, El-Melloi II stepped into the scene of the crime and inspected the corpse up close.
There were only two wounds on the body of the deceased, one was a fatal wound between the throat and the other was a shallow wound on the back where the magic seal was placed.
The victim's magic seal has been completely destroyed, and the magic circuit in the body has also completely collapsed, and he suffered inhuman torture before death.
No wonder Kakino Hishiri called him here. Although the method of death was different, the remaining injuries on the deceased were exactly the same as Mr. Kenneth.
El-Melloi II raised his hand to help the deceased close his eyes, got up and left the scene of the crime, took off his white gloves, and looked at the waiting Hihiri Kano.
"Your conclusion is correct. Have you performed a séance? The victim is not a powerful magician, so there should be no back-up plan."
"Of course I tried, but there was no result." Hua Ye Lingli showed distressed expression on his face, and explained: "There is no response from the seance, it may be that the murderer used some special method to erase the victim's soul , but we did not find relevant traces at the scene."
"Is that so..."
El-Melloi II thought for a while and found that this was indeed the case. There were only traces of magic left on the toilet door. It should be a soundproof barrier or something like that. It was a small trick that any magician would deploy, and it was of no use in solving the case. any help.
From this point of view, it is already certain, because the séance on Kenneth and Sola also failed, and there was no response in the end.
Judging from the traces of magic left at the scene, it seems that the murderer didn't bother to be perfect, otherwise he wouldn't have erased the traces of magic.
In this case, if he used a soul-targeting technique, the traces should not be erased, but the scene was as clean as if nothing had been done.
So what if he's not using magic?
Instead, the victim's soul was purged by some other means unknown to them.
Kakino Hisashi noticed the change in El-Melloi II's expression, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, do you have any discoveries?"
"It's hard to say now, but I can tell you a direction of investigation first." El-Melloi II collected his thoughts for a moment and said, "Miss Huano, do you know the magician killer who was active ten years ago? That man named Emiya Kiritsugu.”
"Magician Killer... I've heard of it." Hua Ye Lingli nodded. She was only a teenager at that time, and she had faintly heard related rumors.
"Emiya Kiritsugu possesses a magic dress called Origin Bullet. As long as a magician is hit by it, the magic circuits in his whole body will be instantly destroyed. The effect is the same as that shown on the victim... From the magician thrown down by the origin, so I came to this conclusion."
Hanano Hishiri listened quietly to El-Melloi II's narration, and was not excited by the appearance of a criminal suspected of committing a major crime.
If things were really that simple, the death of Kenneth, who caused a sensation in the Clock Tower, would not be an unsolved old case. The water is too deep.
"But Emiya Kiritsugu died ten years ago, I can guarantee this, because he participated in the same Holy Grail War as I did, and I also confirmed it with Mr. Sebastian, Miss Suzuki's housekeeper, Emiya Kiritsugu He was killed by Mr. Sebastian when he tried to attack Ms. Suzuki."
"Emiya Kiritsugu is dead, but the original bullets he cast still remain. I suspect that the murderer who committed the crime got these original bullets by accident."
It's a pity that the appearance of the origin bullet is undoubtedly the same as that of ordinary bullets, so it is very troublesome to trace, and there is no way to confirm who has obtained it.
Hua Ye Lingli is also aware of this problem, but it is still a direction that can be investigated: "I understand, and I will arrange people to follow up."
While the two were discussing how to bring the murderer to justice, a member of the law department suddenly ran over and reported to them.
"Your Majesty, Chief Huaye, just now came the news from Corey, and discovered another case of a magician's magic circuit collapsed."
"What!?" X2
Huaye Hishiri and El-Melloi II exclaimed in unison, they never expected the murderer to be so rampant.
Afterwards, the two rushed to the second crime scene, which was a magician's apartment under the management of the clock tower.
The magicians living here are all employees of the clock tower, which is equivalent to a place like a staff dormitory, with excellent conditions.
"The deceased James Vaughn, aged 29, was born in a collateral branch of the Vaughn family and was a clerk at the Clock Tower at London International Airport. We received a report half an hour ago and preliminarily judged that his death time was not more than an hour... ..."
Under the report of the staff of the Law and Political Section, El-Melloi II and Hanano Hisari walked into the scene of the crime, the victim's apartment.
The deceased was sitting on a chair in the living room, his hands and feet were also bound, and there was a throat-sealing knife between his neck, and the magic circuit fell apart.
Except for the different scenes, it was a complete copy of the previous victim, and the modus operandi was carved from the same mold.
There was no abnormality at the scene except for the traces left by the sound-proof enchantment, and the seance magic also ended in failure as expected.
"They actually killed two people in succession, and in such a short period of time. The murderer seemed very eager."
El-Melloi II paced back and forth in the living room, talking to himself.
"Why did he focus on these two victims? They are the little people on the edge of the clock tower."
This is what El-Melloi II is most puzzled about. The murderer is powerful enough to assassinate Kenneth. As for competing with these two little magicians?
But his doubts didn't last long, and Huaye Lingli had already provided a more reliable guess.
"Your Excellency, we have investigated and compared the recent life trajectories of the two victims. They have both been in contact with the Great Holy Grail, so did the murderer come for the Holy Grail War?"
After hearing this, El-Melloi II took over the compiled information and discovered that the journey of the Great Holy Grail from Fuyuki to London was indeed handled by these two people.
Not only the Great Holy Grail, but even the Lesser Holy Grail that was picked up by the way in Germany was handed over by them, which can be said to be the key to the transportation route.
If this is the case, the Great Holy Grail was handed over to the Lord Meastia shortly after it was received by the airport office.
So next, will this mysterious murderer cause trouble for Lord Meastia?But why is he so obsessed with the Holy Grail?
Thinking of this, El-Melloi II fell into a dilemma, and some didn't know how to make a choice.
If the ruler Meastia can be killed, it would be a great thing for him.
But, does he really have to ignore this, or even secretly hold back the law and politics department?
Just when El-Melloi II was struggling, Emiya Kiritsugu had quietly arrived outside the gate of the clock tower.
The indifferent man looked up at the towering clock tower, and then turned his gaze to the enchantment or magic arranged around the clock tower.
This was not the first time he had come here. Although the security here had become much stricter than before, it still couldn't stop his invasion.
"Your Majesty, Meastia, is really a lucky guy who took over the ore department after Kenneth's death... But, this good luck was brought to you, now it's your turn to do it for you." This has been repaid.”
As Emiya Kiritsugu whispered, he used an A+ level of breath blocking and invaded the clock tower in broad daylight.
This is something that even Hateres dare not do, but Emiya Kiritsugu, who is highly skilled and courageous, doesn't care, he just wants to see his daughter as soon as possible.
"Illya, wait a little longer... Dad is coming to find you now."
Beside Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel's white shadow lingered around, bringing him the favor of the Holy Grail.
Previously, it was Irisviel who helped Emiya Kiritsugu erase the souls of the dead, making it impossible for the spirits to find any information.
She who was once kind would never do such a cruel thing, but she is Irisviel who has been affected by the evil of this world.
Therefore, in her eyes, except for her husband Emiya Kiritsugu and her daughter Illyasviel, other people are not that important.
As long as it is for her true love, then Irisviel can do anything, if Emiya Kiritsugu commits a murder, then she will help with the aftermath.
"Ilya, my dear baby, father and mother will come to you soon..."
..........................................
Suzuki Mansion.
Matou Shirou had just left Suzuki Sakura's office, and he had just gone to ask the lady about something.
This matter was asked on behalf of Gunner. Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to know, he still chose to help.
Seeing Matou Shiro come out, Heroic Emiya immediately released his spirit form and appeared, "Master, what's the result?"
Matou Shirou shook his head and responded: "Missy doesn't know where the Lesser Holy Grail is stored. She said that the monarch Meastia was responsible for receiving the Greater Holy Grail and the Lesser Holy Grail. The monarchs of the aristocratic and democratic factions only I have confirmed the installation result with him, but I have not asked where it is located.”
"Is that so..." Ying Ling Wei Gong pondered for a moment, and asked again: "If neither party knows the location, how will they hold the Holy Grail in the end?"
Matou Shirou replied matter-of-factly: "The Holy Grail is not very important in this battle. The winner will receive the prize he deserves."
Hearing the words, the Heroic Guard Palace suddenly realized that the power struggle of the monarch of the clock tower was the main theme this time, and no one paid attention to the Holy Grail.
