Chapter 14 third quarter

A child's crying figure is impressive.In front of the dead body of the young boy who was covered with a white sheet, he knelt down on his knees and wiped his tears as if apologizing.There was a constant whimpering sound.From the depths of the throat, it was hard to distinguish whether it was a human or a beast's voice.The skirts and stockings are full of cemetery mud, and they don't care.Not only that, but the pride that usually existed on his face gradually faded away.It's the first time I've seen Azi Amagi who is so groggy and doesn't know what is dirty, but he doesn't feel disgusted.I couldn't talk to her, so I could only watch silently like this...

The relentless cry of eagles echoed in the sky. "Absolutely, we must catch that prisoner. Please, Mr. You, please help me." Ah Zi had already cried and swollen, and now she looked at Tiancheng with eyes that were still dripping with tears, and her eyes were burning with anger. "In the end, Zi A was left alone." Amagi put his belated dinner into his mouth one mouthful at a time, recalling the scene of this morning.No appetite.He just moved the chopsticks mechanically by relying on the professional instinct he had cultivated for a long time.After all, sufficient physical strength is the guarantee of work.

"How is Teacher A now? Are you okay?" "Not so good." Amagi shook his head. "Only this time, she couldn't hold it anymore. She couldn't even calm down and listen to others. After I sent her home, I entrusted her to the servants. A's parents passed away a few years ago, so there are many contacts. It seems that the only relatives are Zhudai's mother. But since Zhudai's death, she has also collapsed, and she is bedridden every day. Fortunately, the servant of Azi's family is a good person, so I can feel at ease." "It's really bad. Did my husband look into his eyes this time?"

"I don't know either. I guess I read it." In fact, I can't remember clearly, but the impression of Mrs. A, who raised her head and vowed to arrest the murderer, remains in her mind deeply.But whether I looked back carefully and responded afterwards... the memory is all attributed to the hazy depths of Yunxia.clouds.mist. "To help son A, the only way is to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice. This is more useful than my comfort. Not to mention the real KILLER, at least the murderer who killed Zhudai and Jianchu boy... " Tiancheng put down his chopsticks, and couldn't help using his strength to hold Geng Zi's slender hands.But Geng Zi tactfully broke away and looked at Tiancheng in surprise.

"Honey, do you think this is all right?" Geng Zi said coldly. Is it blame or disappointment?Or similar emotions, or just faking it. "No, that's not the case." At first, A son wanted to rely on Amagi's "potential famous detective" ability to solve the case.But Tiancheng himself has no such talent at all, just an ordinary mortal, gloomy and incompetent.Too much hatred, so regretful.How wonderful it would be if he really had that kind of ability as son A said.But impossible.This is talent.All Tiancheng can do now is to ask Geng Zi. "But I don't know anything. And husband, you must have misunderstood it. The previous ones were just guesses by chance, that's all."

Misunderstood, occasionally, coincidentally, guessed right.From Geng Zi's thin lips flowed only empty and modest words surrounded by towering city walls.Why? "Aren't you going to tell me even if you're asking? I didn't want to ask you about Mahoro KILLER." Geng Zi looked down at his husband with an unwavering fair face.Narrowed the eyes that matched the small eyebrows.Only the figure of Amagi is in the clear eyes that are as hard as crystal jade.But it is impossible to read Geng Zi's inner thoughts from it.Same as usual. "...As I said several times before, I don't have that kind of ability at all. On the contrary, the 'hunting hat man' is right, I can tell you some information about that person."

"The hunting hat man?" Hearing the unexpected name, Amagi couldn't help asking. "Well, that person should be quite smart. In short, he is Beecham the Phantom Thief. Judging from the clean and neat methods left by the secret base without any clues, and the mannequin used to steal the real guise beast, there must be nothing wrong." "That's right, the secret base of the Clock House is what he prepared to steal the Masquerade... Then why is Tsuyo surprised when he sees the 'Kunai Man'? Does she know what Beecham looks like no one has ever seen? "

"I'm not sure about that. Why don't you just ask Mr. Phantom Thief?" "This is too much nonsense, okay? If 'Hunting Hat' is the Phantom Thief Beecham as you said, then he should not be in Mahoro City by now. He must have returned to his old den to hide. What then? How can we find him? Perhaps it is more difficult to arrest the phantom thief than the real KILLER." "Well, it's a bit difficult. But, maybe this or that, he will take the initiative to come to negotiate with you." Geng Zi said with a smirk. "For example, the real identity of the murderer who killed Tsuyo-kun, Mahoro KILLER, was Phantom Thief Beecham, and then the news was announced to the media or something."

"That's right. Bet on the dignity of a phantom thief gentleman, he will jump out and clarify the facts. It is true that Beecham once publicly stated that he would not kill anyone. But will he be so easy to be baited?" "It should work. A conceited person who deliberately left a homemade phone card at the scene of a crime must be full of arrogance." Geng Zi said lightly.It would be bad if it failed.At any rate, the opponent is a famous Phantom Thief, so he might see through this idea.If he didn't take the bait, wouldn't the real KILLER who escaped from the encirclement net continue to kill innocent people in peace?Did Geng Zi consider this aspect?

"... But will the mass media believe the police's words? The news that Tsuyoshi's body was moved has been leaked out a long time ago. If Beauchamp's name is revealed in such a blunt way, it would be fine if people laughed it off, maybe they would be Accusations of shirking responsibility and slackening work." "If the murderer drives back to the original place after committing the crime, there will also be movement of the corpse spots. Everyone is just deceived by such a simple trick, isn't that the case?" Geng Zi spoke with ease.After listening to her words, it seems that everything can easily develop according to my own expectations.If you calm down and think about it, it is full of sophistry and fallacies, full of loopholes.For example, what should the murderer do if the police have arrived first while transporting the body back to the scene of the crime?But it may be okay to deal with the media, as long as the details are blurred.But would Phantom Thief Beecham really take the bait?It's like fishing for snapper with dried shrimp.Eh, no, wait a minute...

"Although Beecham can be regarded as a great thief who has been secretly active for ten years, he is definitely not an ordinary person, but what if he can't find the criminal?" "He is a well-known phantom thief gentleman. He definitely can't bear to lose face because of this kind of thing. The image of stalwart established before will be wiped out. Isn't this the same level as an elite official who was dismissed because of his idiot behavior. So don't worry , he will definitely bet his life to solve this case for you." "Then what if Beacham really catches Mahoro KILLER then?" "Won't that be nice. We'll talk about it then. You'll get something out of it too, and Mrs. A will be happy too." Will son A really be happy?Try to imagine the expression at that time, will it be laughing out loud?Or cry and laugh?Or sneer?Can't imagine. "Understood. I'll try to convince the section chief to take a look." Of course, you can't tell him everything, as long as he is convinced that the real killer is Phantom Thief Beecham. "The head of the class named Yueting? His mind is so stubborn. Maybe this is the most troublesome problem." "Yes. Son A gave him the nickname PACK." "Pfft, you got such a unique nickname because you are a writer. On the contrary, your nickname You Youjun is so straightforward. After a while, let her name you Gentleman Jun." Geng Zi laughed softly.Although he didn't know what was funny, Amagi also laughed.Since the appearance of Mahoro Killer, the tense atmosphere in the room has also eased a little. "Why does Mahoro KILLER keep killing people, and what is their purpose?" Tiancheng leaned close to Gengzi's ear and asked. "What can be done to stop the killings from happening. Or is it only when the police catch me. Will I be kept in the dark until then? No, will he tell the truth after the arrest What's the purpose?" When he came back to his senses, his wife had already left him.Amagi's question also became a whisper.Amagi stopped talking and stared at Gengzi motionlessly, only to see that she had got up and walked towards the kitchen counter.The atmosphere returned to the same as before.Alleviation or something is simply an illusion. "Will I remain ignorant of Mahoro Killer's intentions?" "That's not the case." Geng Zi replied with his back to Tian Cheng. "You can probably understand it if you become softer. Didn't the son-in-law say that the small props and burning ears are the truth that KILLER wants to convey certain information. If you can't even read the information transmitted by humans, that's not okay." "Does it mean that I'm not gentle enough? Is it the matter of son A?" "The matter of son A is also a reason. But not only that, you have never been soft to anyone. If you don't even realize this, it will be a real problem." "Is it the same for A Geng?" Amagi murmured softly.Didn't you hear? Geng Zi remained silent. "Hey, does Ah Geng hate me?" "What are you talking about. Of course I like it." Amagi couldn't believe it.The sound of clicking and wiping the tableware came from the kitchen.
