Moriarty? Why is he here?
Angel looked behind Detective and found that there was no one else. Then his eyes returned to this person, he looked up and down, and an idea came to his mind that he found incredible:
Isn't he also here to report?
The next moment, Angel's guess was confirmed.
"I was about to find someone to help me put the report letter into the mailbox, and I saw a homeless man walking towards you after putting in the letter, so I followed him..."
Sure enough, Moriarty is also a deeply hidden Report Master.
Taking the report letter he had not yet sent, Angel looked at the content and found that it was very similar to what he had written. It even attached a hand-drawn pencil portrait, which was 70% similar to Harras and Berris.
"Why don't you throw in your letter? My report letter doesn't come with a portrait."
She shook off the letter in her hand and said to Moriarty.
"It's not necessary. A letter to remind them is enough. Maybe the 'Mandated Punishers' gang has finished interrogating the surviving servants and guards of the Capim family and has launched a wanted hunt for them. Well, maybe we are also included."
When talking about this matter, both of them were silent.
After a while, Moriarty spoke again.
"I determined the whereabouts of Emily and the other rescued girls through divination. The police and Mandated Punishers did not make things difficult for them. Most of the kidnapped girls have returned to their homes, but Emily..."
The parents of this poor girl have died in this incident. Although in Angel's Magic Mirror Divination, Emily and O'Neill couple jumped off Tussock River to "commit suicide", but she eventually appeared in the basement of Capim's house, which shows that the results of the divination have been interfered with.
But even after killing Capim and blowing up his home, the two still did not find enough evidence to reasonably infer the true cause of their deaths.
Maybe the O'Neill family was controlled by Harras through various laws. Maybe a certain Beyonder who could interfere with divination was not in Capim's mansion at the time, so he was not discovered by Angel and Moriarty. But all of this may have to wait for "Mandated Punishers" to investigate.
"... Fortunately, she is currently under the protection of the police. Since she has no other relatives, Emily is likely to be adopted by a guardian designated by the police until she becomes an adult and inherits her family's property. It is not a good ending for her, but there is no better way."
During the conversation, the two left Saint Wind Cathedral through an alley to avoid being discovered by the "Mandated Punishers" who had received the report letter.
It was already dark at this time. In order to take care of "Magician" Moriarty who did not have Dark Vision, Angel chose a street with street lights, and the two of them walked side by side.
"'Eye of Wisdom' probably won't hold any new gatherings recently. Maybe you can only wait until Serial Killer is arrested and the police, military and official Beyonder relax their vigilance, then you can have a chance to find someone to repair that Beyonder Weapon."
Moriarty said softly. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but he still lowered his voice when talking about occult topics to avoid being heard by ordinary people.
Angel nodded in agreement:
"The same goes for another Beyonder rally I know about, but I doubt they will be able to find the killer."
Speaking of which, she told Detective the news she heard from Sevillea.
"'Devil' Sequence's Promotion Ritual..."
The other party was not as surprised as she expected, as if he already knew or deduced the relevant information.
"I was also involved in the investigation of serial murder cases. I helped search for some information and found some clues that the murderer liked to attack young women who had been 'street girls'. They even suspected that the murderer might not be human."
"Not a human?"
Angel raised his eyebrows and blurted out.
At that moment, she thought it was some kind of curse word, but then she thought of "Justice" Miss, the dog that had taken Spectator Potion, that "extraordinary dog".
Could it be that there is another animal that has taken Potion and has even been successfully promoted several times, and is fulfilling the ritual requirements of taking Potion through serial killings and is preparing to be promoted to Sequence 5?
"Yes, according to my inference, the murderer may have had the same serial killing experience before preparing for this promotion, which is why he was so skilled and wanton. But Backlund and even serial murder cases across the country have almost been registered, so after the search was fruitless, the Detectives turned their attention to the possibility of 'animals'."
"Animals' murder of animals does not arouse the concern of human society at all." Angel took over his words and added.
Moriarty nodded in agreement.
"But if that's the case, how does an animal find the formula, purchase Potion materials, and prepare Potion for promotion? Unless... unless there is someone behind it to help it?"
Thinking of this possibility, Angel shuddered.
A scene emerged in her mind of a mysterious man in black robes feeding the prepared Potion to the strange-looking creature in front of her.
If the official Beyonder has been able to determine that the murderer of the serial murder case is some kind of animal, then why is there still no progress in arresting him?
"Maybe they haven't thought of this level yet. After all, these immature speculations are only circulated among Detective. Maybe the military wants to use the serial murder case to rectify the underground world of Backlund, so it is not in a hurry to catch the criminals. Who knows?"
This Detective gave a sneer of unknown meaning.
"But we can report it and tell them the relevant possibilities. There are already 12 victims. If the murderer is not greedy and is ready to be promoted if he meets the minimum requirements of Promotion Ritual, then it will stop as long as it kills one more person, and maybe it will never be found again."
Moriarty stopped and looked at Angel with disbelief.
"Aren't you afraid of involving yourself?"
"Have you forgotten? I have Anti-Divination. This risk is worth taking."
After a long silence, Detective's eyes showed a smile behind his glasses.
"I have actually given those Detective tips. I think they will soon come to similar conclusions and notify the police and official Beyonder. However, you are right, we can also do more and contribute more.
"I'll go back and sort out the clues I found for you, so that the official Beyonder can catch this 'Devil' as soon as possible."
After saying that, he turned back, but immediately looked at Angel.
"I've been wanting to ask from now on, where did you take me?"
Huh?
Angel also looked around. During their chat, the two of them unknowingly walked into an alley that was even narrower than before. The road that even the carriage could not pass was lined with cramped three-story buildings. Starting from the second floor, balconies protruded outwards, covering the upper part of the alley so that the moonlight was almost invisible. The top of the only lamppost at the alleyway gave off a weak light, which could not reach them at all.
"I thought you were the one who led the way..."
She murmured, unable to recall how she ended up in this alley.
By the way, getting lost... could it be the negative effect of "Master Key"?
But we are two people. Could it be that the effect of this key on making people get lost can also affect the people around them?
After thinking for a moment, Angel had to admit that maybe Moriarty was right. She really led the way unintentionally, and Mystical Item's negative effect of causing random disorientation made her lead the two of them to an unknown alley.
Seeing that she was a little stunned, Moriarty chuckled, touched the sleeve of his left wrist with his right hand, hesitated for a moment and then put down his hand, and glanced at the ground beside him.
"It doesn't matter, I'm looking for a wooden stick. In this case, the divination stick is very useful for finding the way. To tell you the truth, when I first arrived at Backlund, I often..."
His words suddenly stopped and his eyes became sharp.
Angel also felt a biting chill at this moment. Her Magic Mirror had been destroyed in the battle at Capim's house, and she had not had time to make a new one, but even so, Spirituality gave a real and urgent warning.
Someone is attacking them!
Above the balcony that almost covered the sky, a huge figure fell rapidly. The target was Sherlock Moriarty who had just sensed it and raised his head.
