"Huh? Are you also interested in corpses?" An Qingyu immediately became interested.
"Don't compare me to a lunatic like you." Lin Qiye shrugged, "I'm just useful for something else."
"Well, I thought I had a new confidant..." An Qingyu shook his head regretfully, his eyes falling on the tavern owner who slowly stood up, "But people with super-fast regeneration don't die so easily."
Lin Qiye put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, "I know."
The iron nail between the tavern owner's eyebrows popped out automatically, and the blood hole healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He squinted at the two uninvited guests in front of him with an ugly expression.
"Interesting... How did you find this place?"
"As long as we can deduce that you are the murderer, and add a little wild imagination, it doesn't seem to be difficult to find you." Lin Qiye said calmly.
The tavern owner frowned slightly, "I shouldn't have left any clues."
"No clues?" An Qingyu chuckled. "To be honest, your layout idea is not bad, but your ability to handle details is not as good as a snake."
Lin Qiye said calmly: "In the beginning, you did successfully deceive everyone, making us think that this series of murders were all rituals prepared by a 'mysterious' ghost who wanted to be promoted, so we subconsciously ignored the possibility of human intervention.
For the first three murders, you simply faked the scenes to look like serial murders by a perverted killer, without leaving any information related to the 'mystery', in order to prevent the night watchman from discovering your intentions in advance and interfering before the final ceremony, thus destroying your plan.
After the fourth murder, you realized that the time was ripe, so you used video recording and reverse playback to create an unknown mystery that did not exist at all. This immediately attracted the attention of the night watchman and asked him to intervene in the investigation. Your goal was to make the night watchman aware of the existence of the ritual at this stage, so as to deduce the location of the last ritual.
Of course, you could have made the fourth murder into a perverted murder case, so as to complete the last ritual secretly, but you didn't do that.
On the one hand, you were worried that the souls sacrificed in the final stage were not strong enough, and the soul of the owner of the Forbidden Ruins was needed to better restore [Bell Kland]. However, there were only a few owners of the Forbidden Ruins in this city, and they were all among the Night Watchmen. So you used a clever lie to trick a Night Watchman who was not strong but not weak either.
The second reason... is that you want to use the last ritual to kill all the night watchmen in this city in one go!
As for the means... maybe it's the 600 kilograms of explosives lying in the cargo hold?"
When Lin Qiye said this, An Qingyu and Wen Qimo were both stunned, with shock in their eyes. Only the tavern owner's face instantly sank.
As early as when he and Ah Zhu were clinging to the tail of the plane, Lin Qiye's mental power had detected a large amount of explosives in the cargo hold, and he instantly understood the other party's intentions. As for how the other party had sent these explosives onto the plane without anyone noticing, this was not difficult for a mysterious person with a spiritual side.
"From the beginning, you planned to crash this plane into the neighborhood where the Night Watchmen were stationed. After causing a large number of casualties, the other Night Watchmen would surely arrive as soon as possible, and then you could... Boom!
I don't know if sacrificing enough powerful souls in this ritual can increase the degree of advancement. If possible, perhaps sacrificing all the Night's Watchmen can raise the strength of [Bell Kland] to a terrifying level!
Even if it is directly upgraded to 'Infinite', it should not be difficult."
Lin Qiye's expression was very calm. "I have to say that your plan was very good. While completing the ritual, you were able to single-handedly wipe out an entire city's Night Watch. But unfortunately, you left too many loopholes.
On the day of the cocktail party, in order to better distance yourself from the case, you drank a lot of wine in front of the camera to create the effect of being drunk, but at the same time, the alcohol also paralyzed your brain to a certain extent, causing you to make many small mistakes.
For example, when completing the ritual to kill Sun Xiao in the basement, he got the steps wrong and first had the Tenchier Kid cut off his fingers, then realized that he had not been fixed to the wall, so he hastily nailed him to the wall, killing him.
Of course, there is no prescribed order in the ritual, and in your imagination, we would never have discovered this basement, so this may not be a mistake at all for you, just a small episode.
But you overlooked one point. When his fingers were cut off, he was lying on the ground, so the direction of cutting was different from usual. The same was true for the direction of inserting the nail when fixing his palm. As long as you compare it with the direction of fixing the palm in the video, you can find the contradiction.
With this in mind, it is not difficult to infer that there is something wrong with the video. "
Lin Qiye glanced at An Qingyu and continued, "I admit that the following events were a matter of luck. You would never have thought that there was a pervert who also had super-speed regeneration and was so crazy that he used himself as a model to simulate the content of the video and discovered the secret of the reverse playback...
If it were me, I wouldn't have thought of that at all.
But once we know the secret of the video and find the original scene, we can identify the murderer... and that's you."
After Lin Qiye finished speaking, the entire cabin fell into silence. The tavern owner stared at Lin Qiye. After a while, he slowly spoke:
"I didn't expect that this small city of Cangnan would have such a monster..."
"Correction." An Qingyu silently pushed his glasses and held up two fingers, "It's two."
Tavern Owner: ...
He glanced at the time, his face suddenly looked a little ugly, he glared at Lin Qiye fiercely, turned around and said to Shiqie Guitong:
"Kill them! I'll continue the ritual!"
The Jikiri Kid roared, and his body began to wriggle violently. In the blink of an eye, an identical self split out from his body, and then split again, becoming four, and split again...
A few seconds later, the cab was filled with ten ghost children, waving their short knives at an incredibly fast speed. There were exactly ten of them, no more, no less.
With so many Ten-Cut Ghost Children crammed into the narrow cab, there was almost no free space left. Lin Qiye and the other two were surrounded in an instant!
Lin Qiye supported Wen Qimo with a slightly frown on his face. On the other hand, An Qingyu's eyes lit up as if he had seen some rare treasure!
"Leave this to me, you go deal with that boss." A hint of frost appeared between An Qingyu's palms. He licked his lips, and his shy and quiet face was filled with excitement.
