Seeing the word "magician", the inspector felt that something was wrong, not to mention the well-known wise Kogoro who left the message. The patrol immediately rushed to the nearest police station, and reported the incident to the Boyue Police Department who had already returned home through the Metropolitan Police Department.Although it was late at night, the police department rushed to the scene immediately and interrogated the suspicious man severely.At this critical juncture, the use of torture is a last resort.In the end, the Bo Yue Police Department finally managed to find out the ins and outs from the villain.

Perhaps Akechi didn't particularly expect the support of the police, but this little prank unintentionally played an unexpected role. Then, the Boyue police department reported the whole story of the case to the water police, and asked to send a large motorboat to support them. They personally led several criminal police officers, and together with the water police officers, they braved the waves on the dark Sumida River before dawn, rushing towards the pirate ship. Having said that, the Boyue police department was very puzzled by the fact that no one responded, so they climbed onto the side of the ship with several subordinates and searched around the deck.Soon, a group of people stumbled into the eerily silent room—a dead body and two fainted women were lying inside, and Kogoro Akechi stood on the spot like a living doll.

"Wow, snake!" A criminal police officer suddenly screamed, and everyone was taken aback. Looking forward, they saw a small brightly colored striped snake slowly swimming out of the open door. For some reason, everyone was terrified when they saw the snake. No one expected to meet a snake on the boat. In addition, the snake's head was bulging and diamond-shaped, so it was obviously a poisonous snake.In addition, they suddenly had a bloody premonition in their hearts. The snake was not big, but behind it was a huge monster-like shadow.As if meeting a monster, a chill of fear that could not be put into words quickly ran across everyone's backs, leaving behind a trail of extreme coldness.The snake ignored the person standing still in front of it, raised its ugly head straight up, and slipped out of the room twisting left and right as if dancing, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Everyone unconsciously moved two or three steps in the direction where the poisonous snake appeared just now.Only then did I see the scene like hell in the room. "Ming, Mr. Zhizhi, so you are here...but this situation..." The Bo Yue police department was at a loss for words, and couldn't even complete a sentence. What a miserable painting of a living person.On the ground were two pale women like wax statues, and a corpse in agony before death. The corpse maintained the posture before dying, with bloody fingers hooked in the air, and beside the corpse stood the sleepwalking Kogoro Akechi.

"Mr. Wise, it's me, Bo Yue." Akechi finally regained his senses after being patted on the shoulder by the police department in time.Afterwards, under the inquiry of the police department, he told the whole story of the incident. "Ah, it's really hard work for you. This is a great achievement. Although the enemy's leader committed suicide, it is a pity, but it is also his retribution. The devil's subordinates are still locked in the lounge, right? They have all been wiped out." Therefore, the police department ordered the criminal police to move the two unconscious women to the cabin with beds.After the implementation of artificial respiration, the two quickly regained consciousness.They then took the seven demon men in the aft lounge to the police launch.

After the relevant disposal was over, the police department returned to the cabin just now, and suddenly remembered something on the way, so they asked Ming Zhi, who was still in a trance: "There are snakes on this boat, are they raised by villains?" Zhizhi's expression changed drastically when he heard the words: "Huh, what? Did you see a snake?" Zhizhi seemed very surprised, but the police department was surprised: "Yes. Although it is small, it should be a poisonous snake. It looks very scary." "Where? Where did you see it?" "Oh, it crawled out of this room. But why are you so frightened?"

"I thought it was a hallucination. But since you saw it with your own eyes, it's not a hallucination. Where did the snake go?" The police department stated that the snake disappeared soon after it appeared, so Zhizhi hurriedly walked to the direction pointed by the police department to look around. Obviously, the snake could not stay where it was. Zhizhi returned empty-handed, with an unprecedented worry on his face, and said incomprehensible words: "As I said just now, Gen Okumura's tragic death is unbearable. Out of terrible obsession, that guy kept torturing himself, screaming vicious curses until he died.

"I couldn't do anything, I could only stand aside in a daze, as if the breathless corpse was yelling in my ears, 'My wraith will live forever'... "The moment the guy's trembling fingertips were completely still, that is, the moment the guy died of anger, I inadvertently glanced at his blood-stained face, and immediately I was so scared that I wanted to run away. Because his blood-stained face Suddenly, a small red snake wriggled on the face, as if it was formed by the coagulation of gushing blood. "The little snake crawled slowly on his face, and its flaming black tongue boldly licked the blood. After a while, it crawled from the neck to the ground along the chin. The curse. It raised its snake head high and approached me.

"My blood was about to freeze, so I picked up a wooden stick and took a defensive posture. But the snake was probably shocked by my posture, avoided the wooden stick and swam forward, and quickly disappeared outside the room. That's all. But, could this be accidental? It's not unusual to have a snake on board. And that snake seemed to crawl out of the blood plasma at the moment the guy's breathing stopped. It's really weird to think that the snake might be the The guy's vengeful spirit...you can laugh at me as much as you want, I always feel like I am bound by some unknown object, so I can only stand there, unable to move."

Hearing these words, the Bo Yue Police Department seemed to feel that the little snake was crawling across his back, and his hair stood on end in fright. Neither of them was superstitious, nor did they believe in ghosts.However, why did they feel like they were attacked by a monster, and a strange fear arose in a trance?Could it be that the little snake was really, as wisely imagined, the vengeance of the magician's soul after his body disappeared?
