[Comprehensive] There is a problem in this world

Because it was just a matter of business, the young wizard didn't dare to say much, trying to restrain his excitement, he nodded to Zhong Zixing and Peter, then waved his wand and disappeared into the air.

"He's a wizard." Peter's surprise lasted for a moment.

Zhong Zixing hummed lightly.

She was stunned for a while, took a deep breath, turned around and looked behind her eyes: "Okay, let's deal with it."

The moment he turned his head, Zhong Zixing frowned.

The young man stared at the place where the wizard disappeared, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if thinking of something interesting, Zhong Zixing did not miss the sneer in his eyes.

... Hi.

Zhong Zixing memorized this silently, and a whip, handcuffs, chili water tiger stool flashed across his mind... Cough cough cough.

"There should be no room at home, so," Zhong Zixing didn't even need to open the door to get the mess in the living room—the whole dressing room is lined up enough to fill the room, and the apartment she rents is not big, "You can use it as a squat prison……"

A door knock interrupted her.

The tall, thin, curly-haired man put his hands in his coat pockets and tied a dark blue scarf around his neck. He looked at them with heavenly eyes without blinking, and he was not surprised to find someone standing at the door when he opened the door.

Zhong Zixing: "..."

Wait, this plot is a little fast.

She finally understands now that her neighbor who loves to play the violin in the middle of the night is Mr. Detective.

...that's why you live here?

Thankfully the detective didn't look at them for long before looking away.

However, before Zhong Zixing could relax, he said surprisingly: "Four corpses."

"Want to take a look?"

Zhong Zixing:? ? ?

Unexpectedly, Peter thought briefly and nodded.

"Then go." After receiving an affirmative answer, Sherlock briefly pulled the corner of his mouth, "You two."

"……"etc.

When she didn't know, what happened to them?

Zhong Zixing was full of panic.

Seemingly seeing her doubts, Sherlock paused, and explained to her condescendingly: "So far, New York has not found anyone who can act as my assistant in a short period of time."

Zhong Zixing, who vaguely remembered his experience in the bakery before, felt even more confused: "...Then why now?"

"Two are barely enough." Sherlock withdrew his gaze and walked quickly to the stairs.

Zhong Zixing: ...The great detective's word games are very smooth.

Peter explained to Zhong Zixing the whole process of their acquaintance, which was nothing more than a normal interaction between neighbors, but Sherlock informed him of his intentions at the very beginning—he should have accepted the dual monitoring of the US government and the Magical Congress of America, but Rachel heard from his elder brother that he was good at escaping surveillance, so he simply negotiated with him and let him choose a person who could be trusted and recognized by both of them, and then the Magic Council would arrange for him to live near that person.

Rachael was discussing this with Sherlock when they ran into each other at the bakery that day.

"..." Zhong Zixing didn't know what to say.

So what Rachel thought that day was that the big detective chose the little spider?

But in fact he intends to choose both? ? ?

Peter also seemed to know for the first time that Sherlock hadn't just picked him.He had already agreed to the big detective before, but Zhong Zixing didn't know about it at all.She is professional and experimental, and she plans to study for a Ph. D. Usually, she rarely comes back early, so she naturally knows nothing about it.

"I'm sorry to bring you in, if you don't want me to tell him?" Peter carefully figured out what she meant.

Zhong Zixing pressed his temple and shook his head upon hearing this.

She said helplessly, "...and I'm not unwilling."

The main reason is that it doesn't matter, if she has time, she doesn't mind helping out, anyway, the corpse will be blurred if the pixels are lowered...

It is estimated that the big detective also saw it, so he didn't even ask.

But she still has some doubts.

"How can we help?"

Peter hesitated.

"Sherlock said that it is enough for him to bring his brains. I will help you. You..." He whispered more and more, "You are responsible for being present. After all, you represent the Magic Congress and the Avengers."

Zhong Zixing: "..."

Let's not talk about how to see these things in the end-just rely on the few seconds of observation in the bakery.

She only needs to be present? ? ?

"Can we hurry up?" Sherlock had already gone downstairs, but now he ran back and stood at the stairs and asked expressionlessly.

"...you wait." Hearing the urging, Zhong Zixing twitched the corners of his mouth.

She took a deep breath and began to roll up her sleeves——

"Let me build the wall first."

There is basically no sense of existence when the ether is silent, and the big detective just takes a look at him and pretends that he does not exist. Zhong Zixing looks at the shape of the ether up and down, and thinks it may be because the information he can reveal is meaningless—the ability of the ether never There is really no way to reflect it on the appearance, and it is the first time he uses the human form, so I am afraid that it will be very strange to draw any conclusions.

She walked to Tai Tai's side, calmed down first, and then discussed with him in a low voice.

"Stay at home first, don't mess around, you can use the computer without a password, but don't touch my files."

Ether glanced at her.

"You've already said it, and I have no objection." His voice is actually a little different from normal people's. He pronounces every word with a mysterious feeling. When he lowers his voice and speaks almost softly, it makes people feel It was ridiculed as a low-level creature.

Zhong Zixing: "..."

She paused, then continued to say calmly, "I will lock the door."

If everything she perceives belongs to her and cannot be destroyed by others, then as long as she regards this house as her own, even the ether cannot leave it.

After dealing with all this quickly, Zhong Zixing watched as Ei Tai walked into the cage very docilely, thought for a while, and drew a scarf with his mind, before starting to lock the cage.

Although he waited impatiently, Mr. Detective only tensed his face a little, and didn't say anything.

The three hurried downstairs and got into the taxi in front of the apartment. Peter opened the door for her and sat in the passenger seat naturally.

Zhong Zixing: ...

After getting in the car, the big detective began to look down at the phone, tapping the screen with his fingers quickly. Zhong Zixing was bored watching it, so he took out his phone to check the news.

The fourth hanged case has not been on the news yet. She searched the news about the first three cases and got a rough idea of ​​the case.

"The Hanged Man," that's what the news called the dead who hung their bodies upside down like chrysalis.The frequency of the case is about once a week, and the time of each occurrence is late at night, and the time of discovery is early in the morning. The dead are all unrelated ordinary people, and the places where they were discovered are far apart.

If it weren't for the chrysalis made of silk thread, it would look no different from the pink research that the great detective once solved.

Zhong Zixing read the comments one by one.She was really too busy to pay attention to this matter before. She spent almost a month preparing for the design of the competition. She didn't notice at all that after a month, these strange deaths had caused an uproar on the Internet.The common speculation online is murder, after all no one is bored enough to wrap themselves up and commit suicide.

And the most mentioned in the comments are-

"Silk threads and hanging upside down are Spider-Man's style, right? Of course I know he's not a murderer"

"Maybe it's his imitator"

"A killer who loves him madly! Like a clown in New York LOL"

"Imitate his features and use his methods to attract his attention, the murderer must have studied the law of love"

"Spider-Man should come forward, at least he is responsible for this murderer."

"What does this have to do with Spider-Man???"

"Every heroic act has an imitator. This time Spider-Man has attracted a reverse imitator. This cannot be allowed to go on like this. At least he should be quiet for a while before this murderer is caught."

Pooh.

Zhong Zixing is just one word.

She put away her mobile phone and huddled in her seat expressionlessly, with the unhappiness on the verge of explosion written all over her body.

If she was just waiting for the big detective to solve the case before, now, Keke.

The taxi arrived not far from the scene of the crime. At present, the gate of the building has been circled by the police, but probably because of the involvement of the wizard, there are not many detectives left.

"S.H.I.E.L.D., thank you for your assistance, Mr. Holmes." Seeing them arrive, a man in a New York Police Department uniform walked over in a low-key manner and held out his hand.

Zhong Zixing understood.

S.H.I.E.L.D. probably played the role of a matchmaker. After receiving the news from the Magic Congress, it "taken" the case from the New York police.

The big detective shook hands briefly, then turned his head to look around, and then looked away, "Where is the body?"

Apparently the other party also knew something about the detective's disposition, the man didn't say any more, he led them to the corpse, and then quietly retreated.

Sherlock took the gloves and put them on while staring at the corpse.

Probably because Mr. Detective is well-known among the people present, no one came here to show off his judgment and was stunned, and even there was no one around him except the little spider, and everyone stood in the distance as quietly as a chicken, not letting himself exist Pollution of the air the detective breathes.

Zhong Zixing, who "just needs to be present", didn't mean to disturb the other party. When Mr. Detective started his game, she took the initiative to stand with the detectives, "The news said it was murder."

"No, in the eyes of the real police, it's more like suicide." The detective next to her seems to be a wizard, because she came with Sherlock, and there is not much intention to hide it, "every dead person in the surveillance is himself Hanging it up. Of course, it's not impossible for a wizard, so the Aurors took over."

"Soul Imperius Curse." Zhong Zixing murmured.

Auror nodded: "Yes, the Unforgivable Curse."

"What about the thread?"

"There's a plant in Florida that does that, and some insects that are too big to pupate with it."

So it was indeed the work of the wizard.

There are not many questions left.

"Hasn't Congress regulated wands?"

Zhong Zixing remembers that the United States has a lot of supervision on magic wands, and little wizards who are still in school can't even take their wands home. She remembers that Rachel also mentioned it to the professors at the beginning. As early as the end of the last century, the Magic Congress had special The department oversees every spell cast by every registered wand.

This time there was a wry smile on the Auror's face.

"Yes, but the role of the wand is to improve the accuracy of the wizard's spellcasting, and the murderer can completely not use the wand."

"And unregistered wands are not too difficult to obtain," he shrugged. "Gotham has the largest underground market for black magic trading on the east coast, and it's not too far from New York."

Wands are to wizards not just that guns are to ordinary people. Since the United States does not ban guns, it is naturally impossible to restrict too much on wands.

Presumably the Auror's methods were unable to find out the hidden murderer, so she turned to Sherlock Holmes for help.

They chatted here for a while, and not far away, Sherlock had already put away the magnifying glass, quickly looking up information on the phone.

A few minutes later, he put away his phone and strode towards Zhong Zixing.

"...send a few Aurors to have a look there." He announced the name of a place.

The Auror nodded, noting the name of the place, then Apparated away.

The big detective looked at the spot for a while, then turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he turned back, walked back and forth, and whispered to himself almost in disappointment: "boring, boring, I actually think it's boring." It'll be interesting."

Zhong Zixing and Peter looked at each other, not sure whether to speak at this time.

But they don't need to struggle, Sherlock has already stated his deduction in one breath.

"Divorced and living alone, working at the post office, judging from the glue marks on his hands, he is very responsible for his work, leaving work at normal time, without a car, so he walked home, met someone on the road, Imperius Curse, it was clear at a glance," he said while walking , Zhong Zixing and the little spider carefully followed behind him, "From the post office to her residence and the route from her residence to here, she is on..." He gave a street name, Zhong Zixing had no memory, "...meet that Human, but there is no monitoring there, well, it's over here."

The murderer is a wizard, and all he needs to leave is apparition, and the clues are completely interrupted here.

"The address before that?" Peter asked curiously.

Sherlock was impatient: "Oh come on, that's where the first murder was, it's not the fourth, it's the fifth."

He lacked interest and said: "It's just a lunatic. His goal is me, but his method is too mediocre."

"……you?"

"The location of the hanging can only be designated by him. To transmit information, place names are scattered and rearranged according to the date, 'Hi Sherlock Holmes welcomes you in New York'. The first location has not been found, but the supplementary information can be reversed. , entry-level level."

The great detective sighed as he said, "His goal is me, so he will appear in front of me sooner or later. It's boring. If it's a greeting, he will at least give me a more interesting puzzle."

At this moment, Zhong Zixing, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke.

"Mr. Holmes," she said, "are you sure that the murderer was in this street?"

"Yes." Sherlock gave her a quick look.

Receiving an affirmative answer, Zhong Zixing smiled triumphantly.

Although only the big detective has brains, she has backup :)

After understanding the situation, she stopped hesitating and took out her mobile phone to send a message to Iris.

"Can you check the surveillance cameras on Canal Street and Green Street at about [-]:[-]?"

Should it be said that the murderer was unlucky or something... Anyway, Zhong Zixing felt that he was unlucky.

The official location is not monitored, but it is a coincidence that after the Great War in New York, a watchtower was built on the top floor of the Avengers Building, which is all metal and mechanically constructed.

... Iris called the watchtower "Annie 12".

Almost immediately, Iris came back.

"Little Xing, I have always respected citizens' right to privacy, how could there be such a thing~"

Zhong Zixing typed calmly.

"Does Annie 12 have surveillance there?"

"Yes~(≧▽≦)/~"

After a while, the monitoring was sent to her mobile phone, Zhong Zixing turned on the projector, and projected the video into the air.

"Let's see what the murderer looks like."

"..." The detective looked at her for a while, let out a breath, and turned his gaze to the video as if nothing had happened.

While he couldn't see, the little spider quietly gave Zhong Zixing a thumbs up.

Zhong Zi Xingyun is light and breezy.

Thank you, our relationship account is so simple and rude.
