Chapter 50 Chapter 49 Fragmentation

When Samlan got home, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and he walked up the stairs with tired steps.Suddenly, he smelled an unfamiliar smell, a very faint scent, this... Samlan pulled out his gun and walked up the stairs step by step. He couldn't figure out who was coming, but he thought, this might be the bastard who killed Carlos.He hid his body behind the wall and pushed open the bedroom door.The door "creaked" and opened to the inside, and the strange smell became more intense, accompanied by traces of smoke.The old police officer aimed at the person sitting by the bed. The man in the darkness slowly moved his cigarette up, and a faint red light reflected his face. That was Dr. Waller...

Half an hour later, Waller came out of Samlan's residence, stopped for a while, breathed a sigh of relief, and got into the car prepared by Naga's men.Naga was still asleep in his bed after being hit in the back by Waller an hour earlier. Waller started the car and headed straight to the Roddy Menzer Hotel in the central block.He noticed a car following him in the distance, but he didn't want to do anything, he knew who it was... "Quicker, my dear, quicker, ah..." Looking at the naked woman lying on the bed, he gently pulled out the knife, it's time, it's time for her to disappear...

The man stabbed the back of the woman's neck with a knife, and she didn't even have time to hum.He kissed her snow-white neck, "Honey, go to sleep, in a few days, someone will find that a waitress has disappeared in this restaurant, but it doesn't matter, it's just missing, it won't happen like last night and no one. Oh, honey, I haven't had time to tell you one thing, you are really sexy, but, you shouldn't sell your soul for money." He pulled her off the bed , dragged her into the bathroom.Under the ghastly white light, he got an erection... Seeing her snow-white body covered with bright red blood plasma, he felt very satisfied.He leaned over the female corpse, he thought...

The man suddenly stood up, no, something is wrong, a strong sense of foreboding, this, this feeling... He wiped off the blood on his body, and ignored the corpse there - he can come back and do it again, this, this feeling feeling... Waller stepped on the scarlet carpet, of course, as silently as he stepped on his own floor.He moved quite fast, and found the room he was going to in a short while. Waller slammed on the door, but no one paid any attention. The door was not locked, he pushed the door open, as if entering his own house, he walked in.Inside, a man was leaning against the red curtains, puffing.

The man looked at Waller for a while, and then slowly said: "So it's a murder doctor who is wanted, what can I do for you?" "Hehe." Waller smiled lightly, "I plan to ask you some ideas, are you interested?" "Yes, but please slam the door. I don't want anyone overhearing our conversation." Waller locked the door behind his back, "Is this okay?" "Yes, doctor, you may begin." "Well, I hope you can listen carefully to every word I have to say." "At the beginning, I was troubled by one thing, that is why the cafe owner Maiwa would ask someone to follow me. It took me a long time to finally figure out that the person he was looking for was not me, but The mask killer. The mask sneaked into my clinic on the night of the 20th in order to monitor Diat’s behavior, and happened to be seen by Maiwa who was looking for a place to urinate. I think the mask opened the door with a key, so Maiwa didn’t There is no doubt about it, if it rains, of course he will drive away."

"But soon, Maiwa found that something was wrong, and he continued to investigate, and it was still the rumored observer himself. I couldn't figure out why Maiwa felt wrong. At first, I thought the mask might be local. Celebrity, Maiwa knows the mask, so he is suspicious." "However, this reasoning cannot bear scrutiny at all, because, according to what I just said, Maiwa should have been suspicious of the mask that night, and then kept observing him and following him, because he suspected why the local celebrity went to a closed shop at night. One possibility that happened afterwards was that he was discovered by the mask and then executed, the other possibility is that Maiwa had already seen the truth about the mask, and there was no need for the observer to follow me."

"The real meaning of the observer following me is that he wants to find out who is the real owner of this psychological clinic. Of course, the observer cleverly dismissed me and got information from my assistant Annie. Originally, the investigation It should be over here, but the observers immediately began to intervene in the details of Martha's case, which made me even more surprised. What did Maiwa find? Later I figured it out, Maiwa just found it very strange. " "The boss did such a thing on the 20th, the night when Martha killed the man. He received a call before. Did the other party use a voice changer? It didn't matter to Maiwa, he was told that he could get a sum of money. The price of course is that he has to put a pistol in a young lady's satchel. I guess the person paid a fee and delivered the gun, of course, the job will not be done by the mask himself, just by appointment A storage place is by no means difficult. After the matter is completed, the other half of the money will also be delivered. This is a pie-in-the-sky deal, and the unscrupulous guy Maiwa has no reason to refuse, anyway, he is not asking him to kill people."

"However, he later realized that there must be a lot of secrets hidden in it. The day after he stuffed the pistol while Ms. Martha was going to the bathroom, the lady called the police and claimed to have killed someone. It was nothing to be surprised about. Yes, but Maiwa is vaguely aware of the great value hidden in this secret. What is he going to do next? He wants to know if Martha really killed someone." "The observer got the results of the investigation by the two police officers, Samlan and Carlos, and also let Maiwa know the route of Martha. I think he secretly believed that Martha really killed people at that time, but he still couldn't tell the truth. The person he saw that night was equal to the mask. However, this was enough to stimulate his curiosity and greedy desire, and he decided to go deeper at all costs. Of course, he did not realize the huge danger in it, or the Greed blinded his eyes."

"There is another question. Why did Maiwa find out that the person he saw that day was not the real owner of the clinic? At that time, Maiwa could not have known of my existence. Why did he think of this question later? This is everything about Maiwa's operation Root knot, but I couldn't figure out why, so I turned to other problems." "The first of these is the gameplay principle. I found that the reason behind Martha's killing is very strange. If there is no human manipulation, it cannot be explained at all. Of course, I need to confirm whether Martha really killed someone, so I have a lot of questions for her. Hypnosis was carried out, and there were vivid images of murder experience and fear in her subconscious mind, which made me think that it was not some kind of hallucinogen or simple psychological suggestion that could do it."

"Then, according to Ms. Martha's further narration, I thought that the only person who might have placed the pistol was Boss Maiwa. I found him, but he refused to provide any clues. The progress of his own investigation has greatly stimulated his greed. He asked me for $10,000. However, from his expression, I already knew that the pistol was indeed from him." "Going back to Martha's motive for killing people, Martha herself is the kind of weak woman who can't hold a gun in her life, unless faced with a special situation, but this situation really appeared. First, the fiancé broke the appointment, and then it was a friend. The inability to be rescued, the inexplicable appearance of Diat and Anthony's sudden departure, coupled with that magical pistol, constituted a special environment."

"There is nothing in this situation that is not carefully designed. But when Martha kills someone, can the manipulator get any benefits? There is no monetary benefit, and even a lot of money is spent; there is no sexual satisfaction, no reputation, nothing. No. The manipulator just got some kind of pleasure, satisfaction, and that's his whole motivation for doing it." "Because of Maiwa's report before he died—although he failed to save his life, it showed the fact that the person Maiwa has been investigating is likely to be the masked killer, and it was he who realized this It would make him give up his greed. The Observer was skinned to wake him up, but unfortunately, he died without saying anything." "Since the mask and the murderer who killed Maiwa are the same person, and the manipulator's mysterious desire is undoubtedly revealed, and Maiwa's role as a link in this series of cases, I conclude that the mask is the man behind the scenes. I became interested in masking other victims, not only to find the truth, but also to clear my own guilt, because there were too many unreasonable things, the matches I forgot to take away and the qualifications of a hypnotist made me a suspect." "In order to prove my innocence, I must know that in these serial cases, the murderer does not have to use the technique of hypnosis to commit crimes. In fact, hypnosis itself is a long enough process, and it is really very difficult for those who are weaker among the victims. Easy to hypnotize, but not really necessary. A man with a gun could kill them with little trouble." "The strange thing is that the third victim, the professional killer 'White Fang', was an exception. Why would such a tough opponent be targeted by the killer? I also felt that there was a strong motivation for the game. I found him The mother also knew the fact that she was raped by a black man to give birth to 'White Fang'." "Mask found this and easily killed 'White Fang', and cut off his son's face in front of his mother. He wantonly destroyed and trampled on the personality of a great mother, hiding behind her, holding her Mrs. Emma was driven mad at last, which, of course, saves the mask, and saved him from having to kill her again. Explaining the crime, I began to pay attention to the Water Corpse, he was the one who cooperated with the mask that day. It was expected that he would be killed after he lost his use value, but the pin stuck out from his throat really gave me a headache. I didn’t slow down until this afternoon. Slowly unravel this mystery." "I have always refused to believe the news that Carlos was killed. When I confirmed that it was true, my first reaction was that Carlos must have discovered the true identity of the mask before he was silenced. But I really can't think of it." Understand, why Carlos would take the risk by himself, where did he go, and what did he do? If he hadn't approached the absolute realm of the mask, he wouldn't have been killed at all. But why did Carlos have to go alone? At first, I thought His motivations are the same as little Eddie's. The problem with little Eddie is that he strongly identifies with his mother, but the need to grow up is that he has to make some decisions for himself, which makes him want to get rid of his mother's comfort. Then, will Carlos be the same? Although Police Officer Samran admires him, he is about to retire soon. Carlos should also get rid of Samran’s shadow, so he chooses to do it alone. Now thinking I think it's really the biggest insult to Carlos' personality that I have such suspicions." "I noticed the identity of the mask. The police arrived shortly after I entered Carlisle's room. What's going on? Although I didn't wear makeup, I didn't see it when I got out of the car and stood at the door. Which neighbor came out, why did the police arrive so quickly. It seems that someone has insight into my way of thinking, who is this person?" "Looking at the time of Maiwa's death, there are also big loopholes. Mask has always acted cautiously. Is it possible that he chose to kill Maiwa in broad daylight? And not long after the killing, Samlan appeared on the scene. This How to explain, the appearance of Carlos and I can be said to be a coincidence. However, how to explain the appearance of the police officers, the killer will not just choose this time to kill. I began to doubt the people inside the police station, who is this person , I couldn't figure it out at once. However, I began to understand why Carlos chose to go it alone. He couldn't find any strong evidence. He could only try to investigate the person he suspected. Also in this risky investigation was killed." "I learned from Carlos what he did before he was killed, a set of tarot cards and some phone calls. How can I connect what I have at hand? I started with the tarot cards and quickly found the explanation for what was left of the mask , of course, at that time, the reason for replacing nails with pins did not occur to me.” "However, it doesn't make much sense to limit myself to that. From the last email Avery received, I revised my original assumption that Avery wasn't an unprovoked victim of Masha's killing game. In fact, he is the real victim of the game, so what has he discovered that we haven't noticed?" "It's a weird fact that Avery doesn't realize how important his discovery is. How is that? Who is he exchanging emails with? I think it might be the mask himself. But what is the reason for the mask to do it, Why Avery was chosen. It may be because of his reasoning ability and study of cards." "So, what did Ellie see in the cards? I looked at the cards again, but I still couldn't notice anything except for the message. In fact, I found a secret, but I found it difficult to understand, so I didn't take it seriously. Something happened." "Later, I finally saw the reason for Carlos. The reason was that I suddenly remembered the newly nailed floor. I guessed that Carlos was the same as I imagined. There were newly nailed long nails on that floor. Nails? What does that mean?" "What Carlos saw was a contrast in time. A long nail was found in Mr. Avery's pocket, which was much different in size from the nail left over from the previous mask murderer. So at that time, the police officer thought it was the murderer. It was made on purpose to put blame on the mask. After all, as a fiancee, a white-collar man who irons clothes for him every day should not have such things on him. However, at that time, spikes should not have appeared, because apart from the police, there was no one else in the city Knowing the issue of the killer's remnants, this is because the police strictly keep secrets. Therefore, if someone wants to kill Mr. Avery and blame the masked killer, then at most this person can just cut off his face and write blood on it What is the reason for him to leave nails as clues? It is impossible, because at that time, no one knew the existence of such remnants at all!" "However, on the morning of March 21, that is, the morning after Avery was killed, a man made the secret public, or just made the secret public! Maiwa saw this on TV. The man's face became suspicious, so he said at that time, "No matter how big a person is, will he capsize in a small gutter" because he found that this majestic person turned out to be the guy who entered the psychological clinic yesterday, So he started investigating the real owner of the clinic, didn't he, FBI agent Mr. Roof?" Agent Luff leaned against the corner, lit another cigarette, and said nothing. "Actually, if he hadn't remembered the words of the boss Maiwa, Carlos would not have started to doubt you anyway. Because even if the spikes on Avery's body are unreasonable, they are nothing special. The big deal is to prove that you are killed. The murderer who killed Avery was not a mask, and the news you posted on TV is just another coincidence in time." "However, what Maiwa said at the time was really interesting. Coupled with the TV program that was being shown at the time, Carlos connected these together. Moreover, Carlos left such a message on his mobile phone, talking about The boss mentioned this sentence, if he didn’t do this, I wouldn’t be able to dispel his suspicions based on this clue. As for why Carlos did this, my guess is who he might contact, that person may be me, More likely it was Samland, and as to why he didn't do it, it may have been a fear that he didn't have enough reason, which also led to his tragedy." "Carlos was right, and everything went away. First, let's review the change in your attitude in the police station. At the beginning, you were aggressive and ignored everyone. What caused your change? It was the day the stripped body of the Observer turned up that you suddenly became enthusiastic about helping the officer." "This is why, because you didn't expect that the observer would come to your door, let alone the person who instigates behind the scenes is Boss Maiwa. If the instigator really has your secret, it will be troublesome. So, you don't want to Instead of helping the police work, they are spying." "Of course, you probably didn't realize that this surveillance operation would really save your life. Even though you learned through investigation that Maiwa was behind the observers, you would not choose to do it during the day. The interesting thing is , Maiwa's timidity is beyond your expectation. Your motive for peeling off the observer's face is to prevent his behind-the-scenes boss from discovering that he is dead soon, so as to buy time for himself to kill the boss. However, the observer cannot accept The phone itself has caused panic in Maiwa, and of course you can't answer the call for the dead with the observer's mobile phone." "Maiwa was already flustered enough because of the observer's missed appointment, and he was terrified because of the inexplicable corpse. Let me see now, even if the description of the observer's corpse does not completely match the impression in Maiwa's mind, he I’m afraid you will call the police. A sad fact is that you have received the call to the police, and the time is limited. What would you do? I think you are the one who broke Samlan’s tire.” "You are as familiar with Maiwa Cafe as I am. I am planning to make a secret deal with Maiwa, and you are because of the original Masha game. You have observed it a long time ago, so you chose to start from the back door of the cafe, This can save a little time. Because you can save a crossing. Of course, Police Officer Samran didn’t know that the back door leads to the outside. Boss Maiwa will lock the door before going home every day. You are very lucky Yes, the boss was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to closing the door. What made him forget the first means of protection in this dangerous situation, I think, it may be because of this." Waller threw the deck of cards in his hand on the ground, "It's because of this pack of cards, of course, not the boss's. The boss may have discovered the secret of the cards, not just the leftovers, but also the One of the cards. The first card of the Major Arcana, the one represented by the number 0 called The Fool, happens to be your name (Loof) inverted. Ridiculously, This kind of word play that often appears in detective novels is often ignored in reality." "I noticed this, but I don't understand. Where in the world is there such a coincidence that the name given by the parents to the child is actually the inversion of the name he used to kill people in the future? However, my friend investigated the Civil Affairs Bureau , I found a very interesting place. You, Agent Luf, originally called Luke, changed your name one day 13 years ago. Mr. Agent, let me make another bold assumption , could you be the one who communicated with Killer 'Bluebell' 13 years ago?" "However, this has nothing to do with the current case, and I can ignore it. Your luck is really good, Maiwa didn't even close the back door, you got out of the car and started to go into the alley, and at the same time took out the bag Putting it over your head with the raincoat in your bag, it doesn't take a few seconds. The bag can be left where it is, and you'll be back anyway. You rush out of the bathroom to kill Maiwa, and the way he falls is interesting, why? Because he At that time, he was about to take out the problematic tarot card and put him in the safe, his head was turned to the left, facing the table next to the safe, and his back was facing you." "It doesn't matter to you, though, because even though he was facing you, he didn't have time to get away. Unfortunately, Officer Samran didn't arrive in time, and Carlos came running backwards. You're not Don't want to just run away, but you can't! You can't take off your raincoat and show your true colors with Carlos hot on your heels. You don't have time to pack it in your bag. If you run out in a raincoat and cause people to If you don’t pay attention, you won’t be able to escape the police’s pursuit. Therefore, you stayed behind the iron gate to wait for an opportunity to kill Carlos. This is undoubtedly a gamble, and what’s worse, you easily succeeded.” "My appearance is another relief for you, and the police immediately turned their attention to me, who was acting suspiciously. You ran into the aisle while you were there, picked up your bag, took off your raincoat, collected yourself, and then Walked out with the bag as if nothing had happened. No one will suspect you, no one will suspect that there is something wrong with the FBI agent. I don't think you need to drive away, just come back and pick it up later. What kind of car is that, A taxi? The one used to kill Mr. Avery." "Carlos suspects you for two reasons. First, you induced the police to pay attention to the necessity of hypnosis in serial murder cases, and you encouraged Officer Mill to investigate me with all your strength; second, it was you who contacted me. That water corpse. At this time, the mysterious hypnosis was also explained." "The pins on the corpse were originally inserted from the outside to the inside. You were the first one to rush to the scene besides ordinary police officers. However, you didn't have to pull them out in front of them. After Samlan arrived, Your work begins. People have limited powers of observation, even if Samlan noticed it at the time, you are still the closest person to the corpse, and you can still pull out the pin first." "Then, you announce to the people present that this thing is worn from the inside, which forms the most deadly inducement for everyone. This trick can fool the police officer, but it is difficult to hide from Dr. Jones' eyes. At this time, you Another trick worked. The head of the water corpse was clamped in a small pit to keep it dry above the neck. The water surface will float slightly, but it doesn't matter. As long as the neck part of the corpse can get wet .” "After soaking in water, who can identify which side the originally very small wound came from? Similarly, this also explains why pins were used instead of the previous long nails, because the wound it caused would be less Very small! However, the corpse must not be completely submerged in the water. This not only greatly delays the time when the corpse may be discovered, but the most important problem is that once the corpse is gnawed into bones or some greedy fish accidentally eats it Go on, and your thoughts will be in vain." "You deliberately designed surprises, the purpose of which is to lead the suspect to me, but I still wonder how you can target me, a stranger who has never met before? I began to continue to assume that my identity and Avery are the same ?Avery's killing is always puzzling, but when I know the mask is you, it's not hard to understand." "After you play this series of so-called 'games', you need the appreciation of others, or you need an opponent-he must have a good mind and should have some knowledge of cards, but police officers who are busy working all day long Also dabbling in poker at the same time is a bit of a challenge. That’s when you discover Avery in a magazine, surprise you with his brilliant insights on poker, and his own attempts at writing mystery novels are more to your liking.” "When did you start emailing him as an adversary and describe the murder? I think it was before you actually started committing the crime. Mr. Avery likes reasoning games, so of course he happily joined in He quickly deciphered the killer's message, which made you feel very interesting. Until one day, he saw a serial killer really appearing on TV, and he began to wonder. He noticed the image of Luffy on TV, But still can't doubt that the killer is a friend of friendly correspondence, he told you that this FBI agent has a weird name, just like the killer. This can scare you, of course, there is no need for him to live. " "You choose the time, you choose the place, and you accidentally notice his fiancée. The news that they are about to get married stimulates you. You think killing him is not enough, and start planning a game against Martha. So, what about me? Why did you find another I think because the opponent is dead, you need a new opponent, and this opponent has a greater risk than the last one, that is, the possibility of himself being regarded as a suspect, so, you are in my clinic The matches were left, and the whole legacy was revealed on TV. My profession has brought us something in common, which is why you chose me." "You killed Mark, it is a good guy who can distinguish human beings, because you have been to my clinic before, once you come to see me in front of it here, it may trigger its attack Strong reaction. So, you kill Mark and show up in front of me the next day. I was thinking about other things, so I didn't think about it." "In order to complete the game, you first let that bastard locksmith rob Mrs. Eliza, Mrs. Anthony's sister, or you did it yourself, and then let her see the murderer reappear in the hospital and deprive her of treatment and survival. Hope. Then you wrecked Eli's car, picked up the unwitting Eli in the taxi you got, shot him in the stomach, dragged him to the junkyard, and hurried back to my clinic, The locksmith went to Mr Anthony's house, and the hour and a half was just right." "After Diat was killed by Martha, you immediately drove to collect the body, because you didn't need to let this behavior be discovered, you cleaned the scene, it's not that you didn't want to blame Martha, because you let her struggle to survive, That's the cruelest thing. You meet with the 'locksmith' and use Diat's blood to write blood on the glass. You may lie to him that this is just a game of framing the masked killer. Once that guy finishes Scarlet, you will kill him." "In order to lead the suspicion to me, you asked him to wear a windbreaker similar to mine and a black hood, while you yourself wore a yellow long hair hood, because you are thin and small, and you are sitting in the car, but you don As for being suspicious. However, the two of you were seen by little Eddie, so there is a black and yellow kitten story, a man writes blood, and a woman sits in a car. However, this You made a fatal mistake in it, because you had to drive back from the abandoned factory. At that time, it was too suspicious to be seen wearing a wig. It was your mistake that caused you to stand at the door of my clinic. The appearance was recorded by Maiwa Boss!" "You killed a total of 12 people. The first victim, Joseph Pavelik, had 5 nails pierced on his left arm, representing an inverted sword - 5, which means, stupid love, courageless courage; the second Victim, Suzanne Ava, inverted sword - 2, meaning misjudgment of friendship and love; third victim, 'White Fang' Garred Case, inverted club - 7, meaning trance, thoughtless Attitude; the fourth victim, Lolita Horney, inverted fortune-9, which means unplanned action, waste is in sight; the fifth victim, Eli Wayne (Martha's fiancé), inverted sword -Huang, which means that love is about to be separated, was under an inexplicable and strong attack; the sixth victim, Diat (indirect), did not leave a message; the seventh victim, "Locksmith" Alvin Gary (locksmith), Inverted sword-manservant, meaning unexpected events, not fully prepared; the eighth victim, the observer (Laffrey), did not leave a message; the ninth, the owner of Maiwa; the tenth, the owner of the Central Garden store; the eleventh , old black Dennis (the prisoner who raped Emma more than 30 years ago); twelve, police officer Carlos. This does not include Mark who died because of your crime, Mrs. Elisa who was driven to death, Emma who was driven crazy, lost Martha with purpose in life, Carlisle with lost love. Well, Agent Luffy, give me an explanation." Rufu had already smoked his second cigar, and he said coldly, "Doctor, I really admire you, your imagination is amazing, so, please tell me, what evidence did you find to identify me as the murderer?" ?” "I didn't intend to ask for evidence from the beginning, just kill you, and then find it by yourself." Waller pulled out the Kirk Python behind his back, and a cold light shot out of his eyes...
