The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

"Be prepared, Miss Evanna. Because I don't know, after listening to the speculation I made, whether you will feel angry, remorse, or... fear."

Volume Two: Chapter 110 Three, Right By Your Side

"Can you find clues to the current 'Dismemberer'?"

"Of course, like Mr. Riber, I'm just speculating. Before that, I want to confirm some things with Mr. Riber. Since this is an old case, it is also a case with only some information. Therefore, I I also tried to use Mr. Riber's method to analyze the prisoner 'Dismemberer' himself. What I want to know is that from the signs of the 'Dismemberer', he also suffers from what Mr. Riber once said That kind of 'obsessive-compulsive disorder'?"

Chris asked Riber.

"Well... I think the 'Dismemberer' should not have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Although, since the fifth case, he has committed crimes by dismembering and throwing corpses. However, the degree of dismemberment varies each time. The difference. People with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder will not allow such things to happen. Because 'dismemberment' is his mark, and the mark of obsessive-compulsive disorder must be exactly the same every time."

Riber replied.

Although, obsessive-compulsive disorder is severe to a certain extent, it does make the patient lose control.

However, this does not mean that all serial killers are obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, nor does it mean that obsessive-compulsive disorder patients will definitely become murderers.

Otherwise, in his previous life, the disease "obsessive-compulsive disorder" would not have often appeared in joking words.

"Then, in Mr. Riber's opinion, since it's not for the purpose of leaving marks, why did the 'dismemberer' mutilate the victim so excessively?"

"This is..."

Riber pondered for a while, and reviewed the knowledge points he did not know from which works,

"Perhaps, it is driven by desire. The act of 'dismemberment' will make the 'dismembered' feel happy. If we say that the first accident-like case is the first awakening of the 'dismembered', let He became a murderer. The fifth case, dismemberment under anger, was his second awakening, making him truly a 'dismemberer'. In order to pursue the pleasure of dismemberment, the 'dismemberer' ' will continue to increase the degree of dismemberment. It's just because he started to be desperate and simply started to release his desires, he will completely lose control."

"That's it. Based on the information of the case, I think Mr. Riber's statement is very close to the truth. Then my next speculation will probably not deviate too far from the truth."

Chris looked at Evanna, then said,

"I think that for about ten years after the town of Aurette moved to Greenwater City, the 'dismemberer' or his accomplices have been lurking beside Miss Evanna and Mr. Jack .”

...

Chris' assertion made the carriage instantly silent.

Ewenna's eyes gradually widened, but her pupils couldn't help shrinking.

"What's the meaning?"

"It means literally. Even in Greenwater City, the 'Dismemberer' and his accomplices have been continuously monitoring... No, they appeared in front of Mr. Jack on their own initiative and tortured Mr. Jack."

Chris paused for a moment, as if sorting out his words,

"That's right. First of all, the first question is that the accomplice did stop the 'dismemberer' from getting out of control. But the question is, how did he do it. I think, just relying on suspicion is 'brainwashing' The ability is probably not enough. Otherwise, the accomplices can stop the 'dismemberer' before it loses control. My guess is that because of the desire of the 'dismemberer', he has found other outlets."

Listening to Chris' words, Liber was stunned for a moment, and vaguely understood what he wanted to express,

"The act of cutting up another person's body is, in the final analysis, an act of 'sadism'. The 'dismemberer' without obsessive-compulsive disorder, in fact, is not limited to the 'dismemberment' of sadism in order to obtain pleasure. On. In addition to physical, mental 'sadism' also exists."

Chris sighed softly.

"So, I guess, the reason why the 'dismemberer' can be restrained with the help of his accomplices. Is it because the object of his abuse has since then been transferred from the victim to Mr. Jack? From the perspective of the abuser, it must be a very pleasant thing to watch Mr. Jack unable to escape from his palm all his life, and then because he betrayed his own justice and sat and watched his friends die in constant pain and despair. Bar..."

After Chris glanced at Ewenna for a while, he opened and closed his lips a few times before speaking, and finally chose to shut up.

Although his words were still as "imprudent" as ever, Riber could see that he was actually being merciful.

Because, Chris didn’t point out, Jack, who was in such pain and probably didn’t want to end himself all the time, was able to endure for so many years because of the shackles of Evanna.

To a certain extent, Ewenna's existence has also become a "tool of torture" imposed on Jack by the "Dismemberer" and his accomplices.

"If these claims are true, it is indeed as Mr. Riber said that the accomplice of the 'dismemberer' is a rather terrifying existence. Because, at the same time as he wrote the threatening letter, he had already calculated the following Everything. A threatening letter can not only exonerate the 'Dismemberer', but also prevent him from 'losing control', and even give birth to a toy that exists to suppress his inner sadistic desire..."

When Chris said this, he changed the subject,

"But it is precisely because of this that the accomplice of the 'Dismemberer' has done many things and left many traces, so that even now, we can find his flaws. From those four letters sent to Mr. Jack, It is not difficult to see that the 'dismemberer' and his accomplices have never given up on torturing Mr. Jack from the beginning to the end. Then why, those letters were sent in a concentrated manner around this time period four years ago? Earlier Time, why didn't they send a letter? Does it mean that they don't need to send a letter at all?"

"Because they are at the place where they can meet Mr. Jack at any time. They can always confirm that he has been carrying out their agreement, so he is in a very painful situation. Even, because the accomplice of the 'Dismemberer' is probably in Ori When he was in the small town, he had already appeared in front of Mr. Jack and exposed his face. Therefore, it is very likely that he will appear directly in front of Mr. Jack frequently, making Mr. Jack vividly recall his own despair. "

"So, please think about it carefully, Miss Evanna! Because, from the time I moved to Greenwater City to four years ago, people often appeared in front of you and Mr. Jack, Most likely 'Dismemberer' or his associates!"

...

Gudong.

Evanna swallowed hard.

Now, Riber knows why Chris said "please be mentally prepared" to Ivana before telling these things.

The "Dismemberer" and his accomplices, two extremely vicious and terrifying murderers, have always been hiding beside her and her father.

After discovering this matter belatedly, even Riber, a bystander, felt horrified.Therefore, he couldn't imagine what kind of fear Ewenna would endure.

In addition to fear, the real culprit was clearly in front of her eyes, but Ewenna never found out, nor did she find out about her father's despair, which would also make her feel endless self-blame, regret and anger.

Indeed, Ribel couldn't tell from Ewenna's distorted expression and ugly face, what kind of thoughts she was thinking at this time.

"Too, too many."

Covering his head with both hands, he frowned vigorously,

"Even though my father doesn't like to go out, there are many things he has to do. Moreover, there are many people who will come to the house on their own initiative. For example, the newspaper distributor, the doctor who overhauls the prosthetic limb for the father, and the craftsman. ..Also, a lot of neighbors. It seems like...very few people move from that block."

Yiwenna seemed to be forcibly suppressing her inner emotions, but she was desperately remembering.

After listening to these words, Riber also felt that the scope was too broad.

If it was his previous life, facing a person who locked himself in the house, he might only need to investigate the food delivery person.However, even autistic people in this era must take the initiative to go out to buy food, daily necessities, etc., in order not to starve to death.

"If it is a neighbor who has not moved away, there is no suspicion. Because, the 'dismemberer' started sending letters. Although the reason for this is unknown, it means that there is some connection between the 'dismemberer' and Jack. An uncontrollable change. This change happened four years ago. What happened four years ago made it impossible for Mr. Jack to meet face-to-face with the 'Dismemberer' and his accomplices..."

"Four years ago? Nothing happened. He was the same until his father died. Apart from doing what he had to do, he went to the bar at home and passed out."

bar...

Listening to this word, Riber couldn't help sighing.

What he knew about Jack was limited to two notebooks.I also learned from it that Jack is a person who only drinks ice water even when he goes to a bar in order to stay awake and to be a better guard.

Such a Jack, after coming to Greenwater City, can only get drunk every night...

"Since this is the case, it means that the change is not on Mr. Jack, but on the other party? That means, in the past, it was Mr. Jack who took the initiative to meet the other party... I always feel a little strange. The 'Dismemberer' and his accomplices seem to have no Make more threats to Mr. Jack. Otherwise, those envelopes will not be empty, only an eye symbol. But it is not mandatory, why did Mr. Jack take the initiative to meet them? This...is there any force majeure or something? In short, the bar that Mr. Jack often takes the initiative to go to may be a good clue. If there are regular customers, bartenders, and even the owner in the bar who suddenly disappeared or moved away at this time four years ago, They were clearly suspicious."

Chris suggested to Ewenna, and then wanted to continue to say something.

However, Riber shot to stop Chris.

Facing Riber's actions, Chris was puzzled at first, and then he looked at Evanna before he suddenly understood.

Yiwenna, who was still holding her head, seemed to be unable to see the surrounding scenes, but was just trying to respond to the words of the two, and it seemed that it was not surprising that she would collapse at any time.

The analysis of the case by the two revealed many things hidden behind the records.

And these things, for Ewenna, the person concerned, need time to accept and digest them.

Chris, apparently back to his old habits.Too much focus on the case and the prisoner, so that other things are ignored.

...

...

In an atmosphere full of silence, the carriage arrived at its destination, Chris's detective agency.

And obviously, with just this short time on the road, Ewenna still couldn't adjust her mood to normal.

Through the analysis of Riber and Chris, they are already quite close to the "dismemberer" and the black hand behind it.

The two criminals who seemed to be just symbols now have a general image.Moreover, Chris even deduced the conclusion that the criminal may have been hiding beside Evanna and Jack from the tiny information of the different materials of the envelope.If his speculation is close to the truth, then it is no longer clueless to find out the "dismemberer" "now".

At first, Ribel thought that Chris was just trying to show off and mock Evanna, so he explained to them the material of the envelopes at the beginning.

But now it seems that whether it was he who raised this matter at first, or his remarks after raising this matter, it seems that even without Riber's subsequent analysis of the case and related people, Chris would have already come to the conclusion reached a similar conclusion, and further speculated on the ultimate answer of "'Dismemberer' and others have been lurking around Evanna and Jack".

It can only be said that in the original plot, the male protagonist who could lead the female protagonist to solve the case alone, his ability is beyond doubt.

...

and many more!

Riber suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Since Chris has all the answers from the beginning, why not just say it.Instead, let him tell the incomplete analysis and speculation?

Really, is it just because of his "respect" that he put himself in the position of "assistant"?

Moreover, in retrospect, Chris has been getting more and more low-key recently, looking more and more out of touch with everyone, and exaggerating him more and more, as if everything is just picking up his teeth, which seems quite weird.

how to say...

It's like trying to set up "Count Riber" as a huge shield, and then hide in the shadow of this shield, give up all the credit, and only show some fangs when necessary to remind and remind .

Chris, hiding himself.I want to make people think that all the cases were solved because of the credit of "Lord Earl", and he can't do anything.

But... so why?

Riber kept a low profile and did not want to be mentioned.It was because he didn't want to get involved in any weird things, and he just wanted to spend the six months of being "censored" in Greenwater City peacefully.

And Chris, a little detective who once wanted to join the Knights with a pointed head, shouldn't he want to show his achievements in front of the public, want to be high-profile, and want to be famous?

...

Suddenly, Riber felt as if he had never understood Chris Eisenspier.

Volume Two: Chapter 110 Four, Luolipo

At noon, Riber and his party finally arrived at the legendary "Eisen Detective Agency".

A quaint two-story mansion, above the black single wooden door, there is a small kanban with the name written in a very individual font.

The overall office exudes a quiet atmosphere, and the exterior looks quite good.On the side of the detective agency, there are basically shops.But they are all high-end types, so they will not appear noisy and chaotic at all.

In addition to this location, it is the east district of Greenwater City where countless businessmen gather.

On behalf of this office, even if it is leased, it should be expensive.

Riber looked at Chris who had just stepped off the carriage in surprise.

Could it be that this little detective is an accidental hidden rich man?

However, Chris said at the time that he just bought a maid outfit and made his cash flow so tight that he almost went bankrupt.

So, is it that maid outfits in this world are ridiculously expensive, or did Chris use an exaggerated statement?

Behind Chris, Evanna stepped off the carriage.

Although, the things analyzed by Chris and Riber are all conjectures in essence.But Ewenna, who had obviously taken those things as established facts, always had an extremely heavy and troubled expression.

As a manifestation, she couldn't stand still when she got off the carriage, and almost fell to the ground while staggering.Fortunately, Sebastian on the side reached out in time to support her.

If it is said that Riber is too far away and has no chance to help Yiwenna.Chris simply crossed his hands in front of him, watched the whole scene with a gentle smile on his face, and had no intention of helping him at all.

At this moment, Riber could somewhat understand Sebastian's worry about his life-long events.

Even though he didn't have a particularly close relationship with Chris, he began to worry that Chris would be alone for the rest of his life.

Chris, was the kind of guy who couldn't even find a mare when he went to a party that needed a lady companion.

After Chris opened the door of the office, everyone except Sebas who was in charge of the carriage walked into the office.

As the owner of the office, Chris is very familiar with opening the curtains in the house to let the sunlight shine in.And he greeted the two of them to sit down, while he went to prepare hot tea.

The first floor of the office looks like a living room, and the area is spacious enough.

Walking to the sofa, Riber found that because the owner of the office hadn't taken care of it for a while, all the furniture was slightly dusty.

Sitting on the sofa, looking around casually, looking at the carpets, low cabinets, hangers, murals and other things in the room...

Suddenly, Riber froze.

Huh?

Here, why does it look familiar?

Standing up quickly, Riber walked around the hall, making sure that the furnishings in Chris' office definitely coincided with the scene in his memory.

But how?He never came.Moreover, not to mention the current him, the young master Riber before crossing also never set foot in Greenwater City, so there is no reason for the memory of the original body to emerge and so on.

So what is this...

While circling in the hall, Riber recalled carefully.

After a long time, Riber finally realized it.
