Early the next morning, Shiroya and Kirito met up with Asuna and Liz. As for Aguirre, he did not come because he had to take care of the business in the shop. After all, he was still a businessman. If he really met the people from the Smiling Coffin, it would be difficult for him to protect himself. As for Liz? She had her boyfriend to protect her. "DDA?" After hearing White Night talk about what happened after they separated yesterday, Asuna could not help but frown slightly.
DDA was the short form of Divine Dragons Alliance, which was also the short form of the guild " Holy Dragon Alliance ". Even though the name gave off a sense of oppression, it didn't work on Asuna, the deputy leader of KoB.
"Could that guy be the criminal?”Asuna said with a frown as she held the cup of coffee.
"Although I can't jump to conclusions, it shouldn't be. If you were afraid that someone would find clues and retrieve the weapon, then it would be better not to stay at the scene at the beginning. Instead, I believe that the sword was a message left behind by the criminal.”White Night shook his head.
"I see…that's true. The method of killing and the name of the weapon were known as 'Sinful Thorn'. "Rather than calling it a normal PK, it's more appropriate to call it a 'public execution'…" Asuna mumbled with a gloomy expression.
"In other words, the motive for the murder is 'revenge'. No, it should be' sanction'. That Mr. Kainz had committed some sort of " crime " in the past, and in order to " punish " him, he was killed. The criminal probably wanted to express this.”
"In that case, Schmidt should not be the criminal, but the target of the criminal. He did something with Mr. Kainz in the past, so he anxiously took action after his partner was killed…"
"As long as we know that part of the past, we can probably know who the criminal is. However…it was also possible that this was just a performance by the criminal. It's better for us not to have preconceived notions.”
"That's true. Especially when he asked Ye Zi.”
Kirito and Liz worked together to analyze the information.
After breakfast, White Night and Asuna met the woman named Night.
The woman named Ye Zi told a sad story in tears, similar to the 8 o'clock TV series every night. The main thing that happened was that their original guild dropped a rare ring. Some people said that they were selling it, while others said that it was not. In the end, the majority voted for it, and the guild leader took the ring to sell it.
The development of the matter was unpredictable. The beautiful president had left without returning. She must have been killed for money. This way, the suspicion fell on the person who knew about the ring, which was the original member of the guild. The main suspects were the three people who raised objections. Among the three, one was Kainz, who had " died " yesterday, one was Night, and the last was Schmidt, who had already transferred to the Holy Dragon Alliance.
"Right now, it's best if we can find Schmidt and let him meet with Ye Zi!”In the end, White Night came to such a conclusion.
They were all members of the strategy team, so it was naturally very easy to find Shamit from the Holy Dragon Alliance. Under Asuna's arrangements, the Heavy Armor Warrior named Schmitt met up with Ye Zi in the hotel room that night. Although this guy looked quite fierce, he was not very brave. Or rather, he was simply afraid of ghosts. Under the guidance of Nighko's ulterior motives, she quickly shifted the suspicion to the dead president and her husband, claiming that the incident was caused by ghosts and that even Kirito was almost involved.
The most obvious thing was that Ye Zi had been shot in the knee by an arrow. Alright, let's not joke anymore. She had been stabbed in the back. After basically misleading everyone's thoughts, this woman walked to the open window with a broken face. Then, she was stabbed in the back and fell from the building. She " died ". At the same time, a black-robed man appeared on the roof outside the window. He did not look like a good person at all. It was obvious that he was the one who threw the sword. Kirito immediately jumped out of the window and chased after him.
Bai Ye had an idea. If the people in this guild became actors in the future, they would definitely earn a lot of money. Damn it, each and every one of their acting skills was no less than the so-called Best Actor or Best Actress.
At night, the few of them ate dinner prepared by White Night and Asuna in the square. The food that the two of them, who could be said to be the strongest culinary experts in the entire city, made almost made Kirito and Liz swallow their tongues.
"So, brother, what do you think about this matter now?”Kirito asked in a muffled voice as he stuffed food into his mouth.
"Those guys are acting!" Bai Ye smiled and shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Kirito stopped what he was doing and asked with a frown.
"That is to say, that was actually a scene that they directed. Kainz and Ye Zi are definitely still alive.”
"But they died right in front of us!”Asuna did not understand why White Night was so sure.
"It's just a show. I can do this kind of effect!”White Night said as he took out the short sword " Sinful Thorn " that Schmidt had returned from his inventory and stabbed it into his shoulder. The red effect would flash once every five seconds. This meant that he would continuously lose HP outside the circle, but it had no meaning inside the circle.
Kirito and Asuna had no idea what White Night was doing. Suddenly, something unexpected happened. White Night was just like the previous Night, surrounded by blue light effects.
A slight shattering sound was heard. The broken pieces of the cube spread out with the blue light.
A second later, there was a crisp sound of the dagger landing on the ground. Only the dagger remained on the ground.
"Brother!"
"White Night!"
Kirito, Asuna, and Liz were terrified. White Night had actually died in front of them. Could it be that this short sword really had a ghost curse?
"You still don't understand?" White Night's voice sounded from behind them, giving them a fright. They turned around and found that White Night was standing behind them. The only difference was that the cloak that White Night had been wearing had disappeared.
"Are you really alright?" Asuna quickly ran to Bai Ye's side and checked him left and right. There was nothing wrong with him. Bai Ye's sudden disappearance had almost scared her to death.
Kirito immediately reacted." I see. Let the weapon continue to damage the durability of the equipment." When the equipment was completely destroyed, the person inside would use the teleportation crystal to leave immediately. This would achieve the effect of being infinitely close to death.”
"Doesn't that mean that it has nothing to do with the Smiling Coffin? Should he inform the regiment commander to withdraw?”After calming down, Asuna understood what was going on.
"On the contrary, we can definitely catch a big fish this time.”White Night stopped Asuna from sending a message to Hitzcliffe." Let's go. We'll go and watch a good show first. Liz, don't go. If you really fight with Smiling Coffin, none of us will have time to take care of you!"”
"I say, what are you doing so mysteriously?”Kirito did not understand.
"I'll give you some tutoring today. You might need it in the future.”Bai Ye shook his finger and became a teacher." In criminal investigation, the first factor to determine a criminal's motive is the so-called 'maximized benefit'. No matter what. When a criminal committed a crime, he would definitely get the benefits he wanted, whether it was material or mental, except for mental illness. Therefore, once a murder case occurred, the police would first target the victim's relatives and friends because they had the most direct interest in the victim.”
"But didn't the people from the Smiling Coffin kill people for no reason? Isn't this breaking your story? And this doesn't explain why Miss Ye Zi and the others are related to the Smiling Coffin!”
"The Smiling Coffin isn't killing people for no reason. The ritual method of killing people proves that they are a group of perverts who enjoy killing.”" Let's not talk about this for now." It was obvious that Ye Zi and Kainz planned all this to find the murderer. It was obvious that they suspected Schmidt because there was basically no evidence other than an orange name for killing in a slut, so they needed to use this scene to make Schmidt admit to it. However, judging from Schmidt's courage, he really didn't look like someone who could kill. He was just an honest man with a little ambition. At most, he would be an accomplice under unknown circumstances. The real criminal was someone else. Do you still remember the maker of that sword?”
"You mean the president's husband? That's impossible, right?”Asuna objected.
"After eliminating all the impossibilities, no matter how hard it is to believe, what remains is the truth? Ye Zi and the others only wanted to use this weapon to create a Phantom Avenger, so that they could scare Shomete, who was naturally afraid of ghosts, and make him admit his crimes. But in fact, this was exactly what the husband wanted. Do you know the marriage system?”
Asuna nodded, while Kirito shook his head. This kid was too focused on leveling up.
"I knew you didn't notice." Bai Ye revealed a smile as if his scheme had succeeded." Getting married in a brothel is very heavy. Both parties will share a warehouse of items, and anything that they hid before that will be revealed. However, this has nothing to do with today's case. What I want to say is that if one party dies, all the items will belong to the other party.”
"It's hard to believe, right? In fact, I didn't believe it either, but it was the truth.”Facing the dazed Kirito and Asuna, Shiroya shrugged helplessly." Of course, it's impossible for me to do it myself. However, some people liked to do such dirty work, such as the smiling coffin.”
