Lord of the Silver Crow

This strange scene made Yago's hair stand upright. He turned his head slightly, avoiding the deceased's strange smiling face that seemed to come from his heart until death, and looked at the other parts of the room.

Although he is just a detective in this world, his experience in various historical virtual games is not useless.

His gaze swept across the room, trying to find some clues.

Floor-to-ceiling hangers, dressing table, sofa with pillows and quilts.

Very simple room.

The corpse was sitting against the wall and sitting in the corner next to the dressing table. Bloodstains were also gathered in this place. The stool in front of the dressing table has been overturned. I don't know if it was the deceased or the murderer, or it was a dispute between the two parties. It was overturned at a time.

As for the cause of death...

Yago, who avoided looking at the face of the deceased, turned his eyes around on her body and found that the blood was concentrated on the shoulder blades, but it was probably dripping from the wound in the mouth.

In addition, Yago did not find too much blood on the front of the corpse, but the big pool of blood on the ground...

On the back of the corpse? Still in the lower body?

The fallen chair just covered the left leg and the abdomen above and below the pelvis, and only the right leg could be seen. Yago could not determine the location of the wound.

But the red on the clothes is all from top to bottom, and does not extend from the sides...

If the wound is on the back, it is at least below the waist.

After making a simple inference based on the visual information, Yago asked Paulin next to him:

"Should we go in and see? Or wait until the police arrive before going in?"

Bao Lin also seemed to be frightened by the strange smiling face. He turned his head around with a pale face:

"I-"

As soon as he made the first sound, he stopped talking, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared calmer:

"We are waiting here. Although I am a pastor, it is better to wait for the police to get in at this time. Now, we are waiting here."

"Well, that's okay, to avoid other troubles."

Yago nodded, then turned to look at the others:

"Everyone, you can't leave the theater right now, it's best to gather together and supervise each other..."

"What does it mean to supervise each other!? Do you think we killed Miss Elaine!? Think we are criminals!?"

It was a man wearing a housekeeper's costume. The opera actor who played the leader of the female family's murderer in the opera just now, the other party questioned angrily.

This sentence directly affected other people.

Others questioned similarly as if the switch was triggered, and some even planned to turn around and leave.

Faced with this familiar sight, Yago just shut his mouth and didn't speak any more.

Although there may be a murderer among them, letting them go will make the follow-up investigation difficult, but the difficulty is difficult.

He is not a saint, and that sentence in order to prevent them from making any unnecessary actions that led to the persuasion that they were listed as suspects by the police, but to get such a result, has consumed his few goodwill.

If they are unwilling to accept and trouble themselves, Yago doesn't need to do more.

and......

His silver pupils swept over the people present.

No one can be sure that the only target of the murderer is Miss Elaine.

After scanning the scene where the man who played the housekeeper left first and the others followed, Yago stood aside, leaned against the wall with Paulin, and waited for the police to arrive.

While waiting, he took out a silver siamese from his pocket and threw it upwards from time to time.

He did not use the ability of a gambler, just toss a coin habitually.

What happened in Faster's clothing store requires a blunt mention of economic topics to make the coin toss appear more natural.

If there is nothing to be a topic in the future, then his sudden coin tossing behavior will appear unnatural.

He also thought about taking out his pocket and letting the coins fall out as a substitute for the gambler's ability to use, but forget it once, several times...

Or choose other things as gambling tools, such as marked buttons, but in the final analysis, there is no way to completely solve the problem.

And the solution...

habit.

Let the behavior of flipping a coin become a habit, or a well-known habit.

Watching Yago flipping coins and catching it again and again, Bante, who was standing next to him and Paulin, couldn't help asking:

"Ya...Mr. K."

It seemed that it was because of the impact of what happened just now, or because this Banter had a bad memory, he didn't remember Yago's name.

"I'm Yago." After catching the silver coin and looking at the king's portrait on it, he corrected the sentence, Yago tossed the coin again.

"Mr. Yago, you come to see Yi...Is there anything wrong with Miss Elaine?"

He has not forgotten that Yago and Pastor Villia wanted to find Elaine just now.

Regarding such a problem, Yago and Paulin had already prepared their remarks long before they came.

Paulin glanced at the door leading to the stage, and responded with his head sideways:

"Elaine often comes to church to pray. I met her before. Elaine said that she had encountered some troublesome things. Today I was watching the opera with Fast. I came to see her by the way, because my sister Ailin just I opened a private detective office. If she has any trouble, I am going to recommend Elaine to find Erin."

After using the reasons such as the Rose Church and the Detective Things Institute, Bant also nodded, expressing his understanding:

"She also often went to church to pray during this period. Yesterday she was almost late because of prayers. I also know that her situation was wrong recently, but I only because she was casting the lead role...but... ....who knows......"

Bante's face was a little pale, as if he was thinking of the scene in the room.

Pray frequently? Late? Starring?

Hearing what he said, Yago and Paulin couldn't help but glance at each other, ready to ask for more detailed information.

However, at this moment, successive footsteps came from outside.

The sound of successive footsteps echoed in the empty corridor where only Paulin, Banter, Yago, and three men wearing security personnel's costumes stood standing.

The six turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

Appearing in the eyes of everyone is a group of police officers wearing black and gray inner soles, gray jackets and short capes. The police caps have two gray hexagonal patterns that resemble snowflakes and ice crystals.

This is a police rank, which is different from the common star and flat V patterns in the real world. At least in Catcia, the police officers do not have epaulettes on their shoulders. Their police ranks are all on the helmet and on the chest.

Police officer, sheriff, inspector, senior inspector, superintendent...

Two are the sheriff.

However, in addition to these six police officers, there are three others who do not appear to be police officers.
