Vampire Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Mandon Timm interrupted Jonathan.

"As I said before, no other horses' footprints were found around the victims. That is to say, no one approached them when they were stabbed by poison arrows."

"The first stage is not allowed to dismount. Once you leave the horse, you will be considered disqualified from the competition. In that competition, the murderer could not leave the horse and remove the horse's footprints."

"Only Sand Man, who uses his feet to compete in a game, can get close to the victim in some way without leaving his own footprints. As long as the distance is narrowed and he uses a blow dart, it will not be easily discovered by people on the hot air balloon. That's one of the reasons I would lock him down."

"It's better to change your thinking. Don't think about who can get close to the victim without leaving traces. Instead, think about how to poison the victim with arrows without leaving close marks."

Jonathan said calmly.

"There are ways to use time-sensitive poisons."

"Poison with time-effect...?"

Manden Timm couldn't help but stunned.

"After the murderer used a blow dart on the victim, although the victim was stabbed by a poisonous arrow, he did not die on the spot, but after running for a distance, he died of poisoning. In this way, the murderer gained time to leave the scene. "

Jonathan said confidently.

"He pretended that nothing happened, chose another route and kept away from the victim, and the victim died somewhere ahead. Of course, there could be no traces of other horses around the victim. Relying on this method, the murderer can also push the suspicion to other people."

"That's it, if you say that..."

Manden Timm was lost in thought, and Jonathan's remarks made him re-examine his reasoning.

"Think about it carefully. Did the murderer temporarily stop killing people after you started tracking the sand man? This is also his plan to make you think that the sand man is the murderer."

Jonathan asked tentatively.

"That's true. I was completely blinded by the murderer!"

Manden Timm looked back and realized that what Jonathan had said was true.

Since in the second stage, Mandon Timm needed to find a water source so that he could pass the second stage, and due to insufficient evidence, he could not directly arrest the sand man, so Manden Timm did not deliberately track the sand man.

But since he entered the third stage, he thought that the sand man was the murderer and continued to track him. After that, there was indeed no victim in the third stage, which made Mandon Tim more sure of his judgment.

Who knows, this is probably the purpose of the real murderer.

"Sir, thank you for your reminder."

Having figured it all out, Mandon Tim put away his pistol and said politely to Jonathan.

"There is another possibility in this case, which requires me to investigate."

"If you don't mind, how about I help you? Anyway, I've already intervened in this matter. If the murderer is caught, it's just a matter of convenience."

Jonathan suggested.

"No, you are not a contestant, let alone a staff member of the contest. I can't allow you to take risks with me."

Mandon Timm said righteously.

"Investigating this case is my mission, not yours."

"Don't say that, then I want to ask you, do you have any clues that will allow you to quickly find out the whereabouts of the real murderer?"

Jonathan shrugged.

"no?"

"Do you have a way to find the murderer?"

Mandon Timm asked suspiciously.

"nature."

Jonathan nodded.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Jonathan Joestar."

"Mr. Joestar. What can you do?"

Mandon Timm asked eagerly.

Allowing the murderer to kill again will disrupt the order of the competition and cause panic. If possible, Mandon Timm hopes to catch the murderer in the third stage and end the incident.

"I have a way, but I also need some props."

Jonathan's vampire physique gives him five senses beyond ordinary people.

And this also includes the sense of smell. As long as Jonathan smells the smell of the victim, he can find people who have been in contact with the victim, and the poisonous arrow that stabs the victim will also emit the smell of poison.

All of these could point Jonathan in the direction of the murderer.

"this is for you."

Manden Tim took out an item wrapped in a small piece of cloth and handed it to Jonathan.

"This is the shard of the poisoned arrow that stabbed the victim. It should be useful, right?"

"Hehe, this is so useful."

Taking the shard of the poisoned arrow, Jonathan sniffed it.

"Well, this smell is very unique. I remember this smell. Next, I'm going to use this smell to track... Well, the murderer is indeed a contestant, and he is not far from here."

"There are clues so soon, what are we waiting for, hurry up and arrest him!"

Manden Tim turned his horse to look at Jonathan.

"Mr. Joestar."

"I see, I'll lead the way in front of you."

Jonathan got into the carriage, and the zombie horse ran.

It didn't take long for Jonathan and Mandon Tim to arrive at a contestant's camp.

He set up a simple tent on the spot, and in front of the tent, there was a lit bonfire, and a rack full of barbecue was set up on the bonfire.

"It's this person. His body smells of this poison. At least he carries a lot of this poison with him. Other than that, maybe not too much, but the shards of the poison arrow also stained with some of his personal scent."

Jonathan smelled it again, and then said.

Poison arrows are made by the murderer smearing poison on the arrows, and in the process, the murderer must touch the arrows with his hands, and at that time, he left his own scent on the arrows.

This kind of smell, humans can't tell the difference, but Jonathan can.

Chapter 20 Suspects

"Mr. Joestar, it has been confirmed that it is this person, then we will confront him face to face."

Before Jonathan could speak, Mandon Tim dismounted and walked to the front of the tent.

"Listen to the people in the tent. I'm Mandon Timm, who was commissioned by the security officer to investigate. I have the law enforcement authority given by the security officer. I hope you can cooperate with my investigation."

"Hmph, forget it, that's it."

Jonathan felt that Mandon Timm's approach was a bit different. Wouldn't it arouse the vigilance of the other party by clearly telling the other party his identity?

However, Mandon Tim also has his own way, and it is enough to witness his way.

"Are you... Manden Tim?"

The people in the tent heard Mandon Tim's words and also left their tent and went outside.

This man is a blond man, wearing very common denim clothes, with two pistols hanging around his waist. His hair is slightly curly, most of which is covered by a hat, and only some hair is exposed, which looks a little messy.

"This appearance, if I remember correctly, you seem to be Micah Kars, one of the contestants."

Manden Timm thought for a moment, and then he remembered the identity of the person in front of him.

"good."

Micah nodded.

"So, why did you come to me? I heard it just now. You said that you were commissioned by the security officer to investigate me, but I don't think I did anything."

"Micah, I suspect you have something to do with a case, please cooperate with my investigation."

Mandon Timm said solemnly.

"I'm going to investigate your belongings to see if there is anything suspicious in them."

"Please, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation."

Micah said naturally.

"This is my luggage, you can investigate."

Micah took a package out of the tent and placed it in front of Manden Tim.

Since most of the contestants have to go on horseback, this makes the contestants carry as little as possible in order to reduce the burden on the horses. Daily necessities and important items are put in a bag and carried on their backs.

The package that Micah was carrying was his luggage.

"Other than that, it's the rack on top of the bonfire, and the barbecue on the rack was obtained by me from hunting. You don't have to investigate this, right?"

"This Mika... actually..."

Not to mention Mandon Timm, even Jonathan was a little surprised.

It was obvious that he had been suspected, but Micah was not flustered or shaken in the slightest, he was calm, even as if it really had nothing to do with this matter.

However, the smell Jonathan smelled came from him, proving that there must be a bottle of poison in the luggage.

"I'm healthy."

It is not the first time that Manden Timm has investigated the suspect's belongings. He unceremoniously opened Micah's package, took them out one by one, and observed them carefully.

"The kettle, no. Coffee beans, no. This is... a simple trap for trapping animals. It's not..."

After Mandon Tim put all of Micah's belongings on the ground, what he was carrying was clear at a glance, even Jonathan could see it clearly.

There are some dangerous things inside, like traps, and a fainting drug used on beasts.

But there was no deadly poison in Micah's carry-on luggage, nor the most crucial weapon - a blowgun.

As we all know, the blow dart is a very stealthy and fast killing weapon, but to shoot the blow dart, you need a blow quiver.

And with the length of the blowpipe, Micah couldn't possibly hide it from Mandon Timm.
