Chapter 5 Message

The appearance of the videotape has solved the death case of Matsuo. The next problem facing the Tea Fairy is Kazuya Miura's death.

The body was found on the evening of the 12th, but the trash bag that was cut into several pieces brought a series of problems. First of all, the first scene of the murder was definitely not there, which has been confirmed by the police. Not far from the Ikeda family, the police found the weapon discarded by Ikeda Meng, which was an ordinary kitchen knife with Miura's blood and Ikeda Meng's fingerprints. Judging from the nearby traces, the two of them had a fight here. As a result, Miura fell to the ground after being stabbed. Ikeda Meng was panicked and threw the weapon away from the scene.

So, who is the one who dismembered the corpse? Tianyi is very suspicious, but after thinking about it carefully, the Tea Fairy ruled out this possibility. According to the experience summarized in previous investigations, Tianyi rarely goes out of the bookstore. Once he comes out, at least a few abilities will die.

It is hard to imagine that Tianyi will go to the scene in person for things like handling corpses, so there are other people who dismember the corpse.

Ikeda Meng himself may have basically zero chance of moving the body away. If he had the courage to come back to deal with the body, he would have no reason to leave a weapon, and it would be even less likely that he would commit suicide in fear of guilt within a few hours.

Then, there should be another person in the case. After Ikeda killed someone and escaped, he quickly arrived, moved the body away, and simply cleaned the scene. Then he cut it into pieces in a secret place, and finally discarded it somewhere a few kilometers away.

However, after doing a series of things, this person still left the weapon near the scene. There is only one explanation for this abnormal behavior.

He was able to accurately know the time and place of a murder case, rushed to the scene as quickly as possible, and acted contrary to common sense... that person must have been instructed by Tianyi.

But who is this dismemberment person...

The three deaths against the cross that Hokkaido Branch took over were Sato Manami, a female college student who cut her wrists on the cross of the church. She was initially judged as an enterprise employee Kazuya Kazusuke Kinda, who accidentally fell off the building, and a freelancer Ichiro Nishizoji who committed suicide by taking poison. The only clue related to this case is Ichiro Nishizoji. His younger brother is the same grade as Kazuya Miura and is a member of the school's light music club, which is the only remaining connection.

But all three died before December 10th. Putting aside the fact that one of them had a woman, the other two did not have a driver's license or a car, and they did not have the conditions to transport and deal with the body in a short period of time.

As for the remaining players, only the mentally ill Hokki Ikeda. He may have the greatest chance of being cured for his father, but he stayed at school that afternoon, and it was very reliable to prove that he was absenteeism.

Could it be...there are still undiscovered gamers?

This is different from the case that Tianyi had passed. He had almost no survivor in his game. Perhaps the undiscovered player was also dead, but his death was disguised as a natural death, and the reverse cross on his face was not discovered?

Tea Fairy's investigation was deadlocked. He began to look up every recent case in the police station file, hoping to find some strange dead people, such as burnt, disfigured, or even the body could not be found. If the person is still alive, the problem will be more complicated...

After ten months, the case finally reached the stage of closing. The gamers committed more or less crimes, but these six people were dead, either killing each other or committing suicide. The Tea Fairy has sorted out the matter. He knows the cause of each person's death and their connection with each other. But so what? Just like the case that Tianyi did in the past, after seeing the whole story, he found that no one could arrest him, and no one needed to be punished, because their crimes had been rewarded as they were due.

The only surviving Hokki Ikeda was already crazy, and he had not committed any crime.

In the end, only one question was left that had not been solved, and it was still the one who had not yet surfaced, the one who was instructed by Tianyi to dismember the body.

The Tea Fairy gradually became suspicious whether this person was a gamer... If he was not a gamer, but Tianyi's assistant, many situations would be explained. Since he was not driven by "sin", this person must still live in this world. As long as he found him, he might be able to find Tianyi.

…………

After a big circle, I still have to go back to the starting point. Tea Fairy returned to the mental hospital, wanting to see if Ikeda, who was like a walking corpse a month ago, could speak.

The nurse who led the way opened the door of the ward for him. After entering the room, Chaxian signaled him to wait outside and closed the door.

Inside the house, Ikeda still sat on the bed with a dull look, and compared to the last time when the Tea Fairy came, there was no improvement.

Tea Fairy sighed. He felt that this time it was probably a waste of time, but he still tried to shout the other party's name: "Ikeda-kun."

Unexpectedly, when these three words were out, the other party moved. He raised his head and looked at the face of the Tea Fairy: "I'm sorry, the test failed."

The temperature around him seemed to drop to the freezing point in an instant, and the surprise of the Tea Fairy was written on her face. At this moment, he could hardly believe what he saw and heard: "What did you say..."

"It has been a month, and this has exceeded the expected deadline of the 'Royalist'. I don't need to stay here anymore." Every word of his made the Tea Fairy realize that everything he knew before was completely under the control of Tianyi.

"Who are you?" Tea Fairy was alert. He knew that the person in front of him was definitely not the ordinary high school student, Ho Ikeda.

The person sitting on the hospital bed gradually changed. Under his sick clothes, his whole body became pitch black. It was not like human skin at all. Its texture was more like a black space suit, a black hairless head, a bright and concave facial features, and the eyes that were deeply trapped in the eye sockets showed a blue light.

The tone of Dark Water was cold and without any emotion: "Of course I was not Ikeda Hok, I devoured him. According to the instructions of the 'Teller', there are two messages I need to tell you. The first is what happened on December 12th.

That morning, Ikeda Minor said the words "September 4" to Miura, which made him murderous intent. At the same time, Whalebird visited Ikeda Minor to learn about the case. In the afternoon, Ikeda Minor was afraid that the police would investigate Ikeda Minor, so he went to the "Rotator" to learn that Miura wanted to murder his son at a certain location, so he went to stop him, and Miura was killed.

Next, I arrived at the scene, tore the body apart and transferred it, simply cleared the blood, and left the weapon. Later, after school, Ikeda Wang went to find the 'reporter', and got the information that Miura was killed by his father and went home. I found that Ikeda Meng had committed suicide fearlessly and could not bear the mental disorder."

Tea Fairy seemed to be far less interested in this case than in the Unshui. He interrupted: "Are you Tianyi's assistant? When did you start working for him? Why were there no trace of you in those cases in the past? What does the 'Teller' mean?" He thought he had seen eight or nine out of ten of the things clearly, but now he found that there are too many questions to ask.

In fact, these suspicions of the Tea Fairy are all wrong. In November, Dark Water was fighting wits and courage with the gunsmith in the South American rainforest. Before that, when Tianyi was making waves outside, Dark Water was still sleeping in the underground ruins.

At noon on the 12th, the gunsmith came to the bookstore to look for Tianyi for shelter, and then entered the sub-space of the bookstore. From then on, a few hours before Ikeda Meng came to the bookstore, there was an uninvited guest coming to the door, which was the dark water.

No matter where the world is, Dark Water can sense the location of the eternal core, so he tracked the Gunsmith all the way from South America. He swallowed four HL masters in the jungle at the bottom, and the amount of memory and knowledge is basically enough. There is no big problem with Dark Water integrating into a civilized society. When he was in Hokkaido, he was finally about to catch up with the Gunsmith, but the Gunsmith hid in Tianyi's bookstore.

After the dark water arrived, he unexpectedly met Tianyi, the 'reporter' he said. For their clan, the 'reporter' was a great existence second only to the gods. He respectfully paid homage to the other party, but Tianyi just said with a strange expression: "Your clan has not yet been extinct..."

Tianyi asked Danshui some questions and learned about the gunsmith's experience in South America. He told Danshui not to hurry to find that idiot. Anyway, even if you kill him, the Eternal Core cannot be well cultivated. It would be better to let him slowly go in the sub-space. So Tianyi took Danshui as his younger brother with peace of mind. A few hours later, when Ikeda escaped violently, Tianyi learned about the situation through the Book of Heart, and sent Danshui to deal with the corpse.

On the 13th, Tianyi learned about HL's intervention. He changed his strategy and designed a new trap. Before killing Kuanghara and leaving Hokkaido, he assigned a task to Dark Water, which was to devour Ikeda Hokkien before the Tea Fairy arrived and became his appearance. If the Tea Fairy had not yet found out the case in a month, she would definitely see him again. At that time, she gave up disguising and passed on two messages to him.

Tea Fairy thought he knew Tianyi very well, but in fact Tianyi knew him well. He clearly knew the method of Tea Fairy's investigation, thinking, ability to control clues and chain deduction ability, etc.... Until the end of the road, Tea Fairy would never go to the mental hospital for the second time to seek confession from a mentally ill patient. And the "giving up time" for a month is precisely Tianyi's evaluation of Tea Fairy based on his past experience. "Smart people" will not always be entangled in a matter that cannot be solved.

At this moment, as if he had not heard the tea fairy's question, he just continued: "The second message, the original words of the 'transmitter' are...

I thought you were the fourth smartest person on the planet, but recently I discovered a very interesting guy who might be better than you, and the new test is already in preparation.

After all, you should be eliminated. Tea Fairy. After all, it has been several years. You don’t even show that you can catch me at all. Human things are indeed limitless, and your bad taste also makes me very disgusted. In short, this is your last chance.

Troubled times are about to arise. It seems that you are not suitable to stand under the banner of the Counter Cross. You will never stand in front of me as a law enforcement officer. When you meet me as you wish, you will not face a wanted criminal with a dangerous level six, but the creator of the new world."
