The interrogation room was so dark that it felt boundless.
Han Dong was restrained here alone.
Below his calf, there was a layer of black liquid … This liquid could monitor the energy state in Han Dong's body and sense his emotional fluctuations, making it easier for the following interrogation.
An agent with a trench coat and candles on his shoulders stood opposite him. The [Mother of the Night] emblem on his chest was particularly conspicuous.
"Nicholas Wallen, a messenger from Perugia City.
In the Black Forest, you killed a 'Black Goat Descendant' that was attacking a mining team and saved a miner. At 10: 30, you passed the relevant identity check and obtained a temporary residence permit to enter the city.
At 11: 00, you checked in at the Blackwater Hotel.
Is that right? "
"That's right." Han Dong nodded.
"During this time, you wrote a letter to the hotel owner, Kang Gnome Blackwater.
You hoped that Kang Gnome Blackwater could arrange a position for you and your servant in the hotel.
Is that right? "
"Yes." Han Dong nodded in affirmation.
The agent continued:
"Because you were a 'newcomer', Kang Gnome must have rejected your request for a job.
Due to the rejection and perhaps some verbal conflict, you held a grudge.
The next morning, at 00: 54, you killed Kang Gnome Blackwater and attempted to hide his corpse in a narrow alley fifty meters away from the hotel. "
After saying that.
The agent handed over a bloody letter and a photo.
It was the letter that Han Dong asked Mary to hand to the boss. The blood on the letter was spread widely … and it was splattered on the letter.
As for the photo the agent gave, it was a scene taken by the surveillance cameras on the street.
The photo clearly showed Marittis wrapped in a bath towel and Han Dong standing at the end of the narrow street, whispering … as if they were discussing the choice of a place to dump the corpse.
When he saw this, the 'uneasiness' from last night quickly overflowed.
Han Dong tried to ask as calmly as possible:
"Do you have a picture of the crime scene? Can you show it to me? "
"The crime scene has been perfectly replicated through the black fog. As a suspect, you are allowed to inspect it."
The investigator took out two special candles with serial numbers and lit them on the left and right sides of the interrogation room.
When it was lit,
Immediately, a large amount of dark fog was released from the wick. Combined with the dark environment in the interrogation room, the crime scene was 100% restored.
One of the candles corresponded to the bedroom where the innkeeper was killed.
The other candle corresponded to the alley where the corpse was hidden.
[Room]: There are many traces of a fight. It seems that the innkeeper fought with the assailant for a long time until he was killed.
[Alley]: The body of the innkeeper was separated into multiple trash bags and thrown randomly in the alley. When it was discovered, half of the body had already been eaten by rats and insects.
Han Dong immediately collected all the details of the crime scene and transferred them to his brain for rapid processing.
"I believe that with your investigative skills, you should have found many suspicious points at the scene, right?
At least five of the fighting marks in the room were faked.
What is certain is that as a 'mature body', the innkeeper was killed in a short period of time without any resistance.
As for the body that was thrown in the alley, it seemed like they wanted to destroy the traces … but in fact, they wanted to be 'discovered' more.
There are many big rats in the alley next door. Their feeding speed is much faster than the small rats and insects here, right? Yet, they had to stuff it into this narrow alley.
Their main purpose was to 'frame' us. "
The investigator's expression didn't change much in the face of Han Dong's statement. He pointed at the photo of the two of them standing at the entrance of the alley. "These are indeed suspicious points, but we can't rule out your suspicions.
Why were you standing at the entrance of the alley when the crime happened when you were resting in the inn? "
Han Dong replied calmly, "At that time, when I was resting by the window, I accidentally caught a glimpse of a 'strange shadow.'
Because it was a glimpse, I couldn't see it clearly.
I probably saw a spiral-shaped arm and slightly metallic skin, which gave me a very uncomfortable feeling.
As I said, I'm a messenger from Perugia. My only maid is a Toad Demon … I just happened to use her spatial ability to go to the entrance of the alley where the 'strange shadow' was to check out the situation.
In just a moment, the strange shadow was gone. "
When Han Dong was talking about the description of the strange shadow, the investigator's face suddenly turned cold.
The investigator, who had been calm the whole time, suddenly shuddered. Even one of the candles on his shoulder went out.
After a short pause, the investigator handed over a pen and paper.
"… Can you roughly draw the 'strange shadow' you saw? Since you're from Perugia, you should be very talented in drawing, right? "
"No problem."
Gray tentacles grew from Han Dong's fingers and directly copied the memory image in his head onto the white paper.
"Wait a moment …"
The investigator took the paper and left.
He immediately met up with the investigator who interrogated Marittis and exchanged information.
Both of their testimonies were the same, and there were no suspicious points. However, Marittis did not see any strange shadows.
Moreover, when the two were being interrogated, they did not detect any emotions or energy fluctuations when they were 'lying.'
Immediately after.
The investigator handed the drawing drawn by Han Dong to a department head above them and briefly explained the incident.
"What? A messenger who fled from Perugia could see the Vortex? "
"There are no problems with the identification, confession, and interrogation.
This is indeed the first time this person came to London. He doesn't know what happened here, and he doesn't know about the Vortex.
We speculate that it was precisely because this person had glimpsed the vortex that he was framed by the other party. "
The department head, who was wearing a black mask and white gloves, crossed his fingers and held his chin. "It seems reasonable, but it also doesn't. Shouldn't the most reasonable method be for the Vortex to directly kill this person?
Why would they choose to frame someone with a higher risk? "
The investigator stretched out a tentacle and scratched his cheek.
"… Could it be that the Vortex doesn't have the confidence to kill this messenger?"
The department head nodded. "You're right. There's a high chance that they didn't have the confidence to kill the messenger, so they chose to frame him.
After all, if a newcomer kills a local, once convicted, they will be sentenced to death and sent to the Church of Evernight to be dealt with.
… Let them go. "
"Let them go just like that? This messenger from Perugia has the visual ability to see the Vortex … Since he's still a blank piece of paper, why don't we recruit him to work for us? "
"The Vortex is the biggest problem we're facing at the moment, but the threat of this messenger himself hasn't been eliminated.
I don't believe that he's just a lowly messenger …
Since he can see the Vortex, he's bound to be targeted in the opposite direction.
We can use this to figure out this person's background and even use him as bait to catch the big fish in the Vortex. "
"Okay."
