I changed the timeline with the game.

Chapter 244 The Detective from North Carolina

Su Wen didn't doubt Miss Caroline's discovery of his location.

After all, he had already thought of this possibility before broadcasting the call:

“At least this time.

I will not act as 'Rhine'.

and so.

Kevin is a not-so-famous detective who happened to come to New York State from North Carolina.

I think it won’t bring you too much danger.”

That's right.

Su Wen used the word "dangerous".

In his rational view.

As a third-level transcendent who has mastered both 'Electromagnetic Inference' and 'Truth: Logical Reconstruction', Caroline's close combat capability is not strong.

So the best solution is not for her to come in person.

of course.

After hearing him say that.

There was also a hint of satisfaction in the lazy reply from Miss Hacker:

"It sounds like you're looking forward to it.

Detective Kevin.

Unfortunately.

I lied to you about what I said just now.

However, our organization does have a branch in New York State. Given our cooperative relationship, I can ask the branch manager to introduce you to the Night Watch organization.

But she is very picky.

and so.

The premise of all this is:
You have to demonstrate your worth as a great detective."

He heard the true meaning hidden in Miss Hacker's sweet tone.

He replied confidently and gently:
"The Brooklyn Serial Murders."

Su Wen adjusted his black bow tie with a smile. He put on a pair of gold-wire monocles like those of a Nordic aristocrat, and changed into a gray suit.

With the help of the [Mirror Disguiser] ability in this game.

The change of clothes was completed in an instant.

Him now.

It is also exactly the same as the fake photo of Detective Kevin that Miss Caroline created for him on the Internet.

Apparently, Ms. Hacker has great taste in setting the appearance of 'Detective Kevin'.

At least.

Compared to the handsome Rhine, his appearance now probably has a bit more elegance and bearing of a nobleman.

then.

In the video phone, the image of Miss Caroline, wearing a gauze nightgown and leaning against a black bed, was vaguely visible.

He calmly stated his request:

“I need information on all the people who have died so far.

This includes what I'm watching:
22 137nd Avenue, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, what just happened.

Hear him say that.

Miss Hacker adjusted her lazy posture slightly and closed the video call:
"Mr. Rhine, the way you look now is exactly what I expected.

just.

Want to find the murderer.

It’s probably not that easy.”

Caroline did not change out of her black gauze nightgown, but simply found a black hood to cover herself, and then sat at the data desk and entered data screening mode:
"I hacked into the FBI database.

The information of the first two deceased persons has been forwarded to you.

At present, a disaster has occurred in the three-story villa No. 137, and the dying person who was sent to Brooklyn Hospital No. by ambulance is named Simon Colin Bradley.

He was a wealthy businessman responsible for selling construction steel, but had no business dealings with the first two victims.

The near-death investigation records describe:
'Poisoned and on the verge of death, the poisoning substance is a supernatural neurotoxin.'

If it weren't for the expensive medicine from Isaiah Life Science, his body would have been dead when he was found."

Hear the news given by Caroline.

Su Wen asked with a smile:

“Even the FBI dares to hack.

Miss Caroline, aren't you worried that there might be a third-level hacker or advanced artificial intelligence among them?"

Miss Hacker chuckled and replied:
"If there is such talent among them that can discover the path I am searching for.

Then I just happened to find the key element to break through the fourth level.

In this regard, Mr. Rhine, who possesses the "artificial intelligence information", has helped me a lot.

you say.

How can I repay you~?"

"How to repay? There is no urgent need to give an answer to this question now."

Su Wen also quickly split the computer screen and started matching the information synchronously.

The first victim, Sean Atlee, was killed by a sniper. He owned a large supermarket chain.

The second victim was Nicholas Violet, president of the Automobile Company, who died in the explosion of his own car.

The first and second victims, plus Simon Colin Bradley, all died in completely different ways.

But the key to the FBI police classifying this as a serial murder case is:

Around the dead, there was a playing card with a Joker image on it.

All of this is consistent with the opening statement of the game "Time Travel" that describes the future.

Su Wen's thinking is very clear.

[Time Travel] The game allows him to use this place as his birth point, so the goal of the game's one star is:

'Selina Bradley'

right here.

in other words.

One of the three [Thousand Changes God] cult killers.

It must be here too.

Even among them.

Su Wen completed the connection of inferences in just a moment, but he was not prepared to just follow the criminal like a real detective.

The handsome gentleman pushed up his exquisite single-frame glasses.

Then, he calmly said to Miss Hacker:

“Caroline.

If it were you, how would you choose to complete the next assassination? "

“I don’t know, maybe the law enforcers’ guns went haywire.

This kind of thing happens frequently in the United States.

Especially after the Origin Era."

Obviously.

Even Miss Caroline knew it.

'Free America, Shooting Every Day' isn't exactly a joke.

But Su Wen shook his head:

"That's not the way the killers would choose.

The crime scenes of these three people have one obvious commonality.

That is.

Although there were 'Joker Poker Cards' left beside them.

But in neither case did any of the cases point to an obvious suspect.

in other words.

Those homicides would have been without suspects.

The greater probability is that the possibility of the participants in the case being suspected is extremely small. "

His answer was completely consistent with the extraordinary characteristics of the cultists of the [Thousand Changes God].

Then, the system prompts as expected

See this tip.

Su Wen turned over and left the high place in the dark courtyard where he was conducting observation.

Then he walked straight towards the police cars that were setting up a cordon in the distance.

A New York State Police officer stopped him:

"who are you?"

“Kevin-Eder, a detective from North Carolina.

I have been hired to find the perpetrator of this murder."

Su Wen calmly and gracefully took out his business card from his jacket pocket and handed it to the police officer.

Hear him say that.

The police officer reported to the New York State Police Sergeant who was leading the team:
“Captain Corrett, this Detective Kevin was reportedly hired to help solve this murder case.

What do you think we should do? "
