Chapter 177 [The Holy Grail Incident of the Magic Eye Train]

“Ahhhhhhhh——!!!”

A scream broke the peaceful atmosphere, and several people who were talking or resting subconsciously rushed towards the direction where the scream came from.

For El-Melloi II, the screaming voice belonged to someone he knew, so he couldn't treat it as if he hadn't heard it.

"Gray!"

Before the incident, Gray, the inner disciple who was talking to El-Melloi II, immediately responded.

"Yes! Master!"

El-Melloi II, whose real name is Weber Velvet, participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki, and survived to the end despite the unfortunate deaths of his mentors, who were known as the geniuses of the Clock Tower. In the end, due to various reasons, he inherited

He took the name of "El-Melloi" as his mentor and temporarily assumed the position of monarch of the modern magic department.

He is known as Lord El-Melloi II - but he himself doesn't really like to be called that. Although he feels embarrassed to say it, he did not become a monarch voluntarily.

But no matter what, he is also one of the twelve monarchs who can be regarded as the central organization of the Magic Association, and he can be considered as a person who can preside over the overall situation... Regardless of whether everyone respects him or not, at least he will give the Clock Tower face.

If something goes wrong, El-Melloi II should be able to stabilize the scene quickly, but the most important thing is that he is not the character to ignore such accidents.

...I hope it's not a big deal, but if the child screams so loudly, it's probably impossible for this wish to come true.

Thinking like this, El-Melloi II finally ran to the location of the accident.

Some people who were relatively close had already formed a circle at the door. El-Melloi II squeezed in from the crowd and finally saw clearly what was happening inside.

The door to the room was open, and the red color of blood soaked the carpet. A headless corpse was lying on the carpet. The pool of blood was slowly expanding. It could be seen that not long had passed since the incident.

From the room and the clothes worn by the body, El-Melloi II judged that the deceased was someone he knew.

Trisha Firoz, a magician with future vision, is the attendant and tutor of the girl who is kneeling next to the corpse.

The girl's name is Olga Marie Asmiret Animsfia, the daughter of the astronomical monarch. She is only eleven or twelve years old this year, and she is about to face the death of someone close to her...

She died so miserably, and seeing that she still hasn't reacted, you can tell that it must have left a psychological shadow.

Well, as a person related to the deceased, it is understandable that Olga Marie appears here, but who is the person who is examining the body!?

El-Melloi II looked at the stranger warily.

He was a young man who looked to be in his twenties. Probably because he was indoors, he took off his coat and only wore a suit and vest. His appearance revealed very little information, but the first thing El-Melloi II had just seen was

With just one eye, you can feel the British aura from him.

The young man knelt down on one knee with a serious and rigorous expression, looking at the body closely. It seemed that if he was not afraid of irritating Olga Marie, he would have already touched it...

"It's a lie, hey, Trisha...!" The girl in her early ten years cried and shouted, "Who killed Trisha! Is it you!? The murderer must be you, a member of the Holy Church!

Give Trisha back to me!"

The Holy Church and the Magic Association have been at odds with each other for a long time, and they have only managed to live in harmony in modern times. However, in fact, they are still hostile organizations in private. Considering that the person who was killed was a magician, it is normal to be the first to suspect the people present in the Holy Church.

ideas.

The person identified was an old man. He calmly stated that he was not the murderer and said, "Can I do an autopsy?"

"I see, you are familiar with corpses, right? But apart from that, there seems to be something else to rely on - considering where we are, are you the seller? What kind of magic eyes do you have?" The person who has been observing the corpses

The young man suddenly spoke.

The old man looked at him in surprise, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he replied: "Yes, I have the magic eye to see past."

What supports the young man's judgment is their current location. This is a train famous for its magic eyes collection and auction. The people on the train are either sellers or buyers. Although it is not clear how he guessed that the old man possesses magic eyes.

But after hearing the word past gaze, everyone present relaxed a little.

If you had past vision that could see what happened in the past, you would be able to quickly figure out what happened here just now.

"...Past vision... Even though I just said it casually, I can actually hit the target to some extent. It's an amazing talent."

Everyone else's attention was focused on the old man of the Holy Church whose identity and abilities were suddenly revealed. Only El-Melloi II, who was relatively close, heard the young man's whisper.

At first, El-Melloi II thought that the other party was referring to himself, and he casually guessed that the old man had a magic eye, but he guessed it right, which is why he expressed such emotion.

But he quickly realized that the tone was not right, and it did not sound like he was talking about himself. However, if you want to guess based on the context, the only person the other party could evaluate was——

Olga Marie.

Excluding those meaningless expressions of emotions, she only said one sentence that could correspond to this emotion, and that was, "The murderer must be you, a member of the Holy Church."

In other words, despite just staring at the corpse for a while, the young man has now made the conclusion that "this old man from the Holy Church is the murderer"...

It's strange. Did he know something inside? Although it was only the first time for El-Melloi II to meet this person, his intuition told him that the young man did not seem to be someone who would talk freely... to be able to make him say such things,

There should be evidence to support it, right? It’s not like they are simply hostile to the Holy Church, so they support Olga Marie’s anger...

"By the way, who are you?" El-Melloi II finally couldn't help but ask this question.

Olga Marie, who had been very excited, was suddenly stunned: "...Yes, who are you? Wait, have you always been by my side?! When did you appear?"

The young man showed a polite smile: "I'm just a passerby... because when the child screamed, I happened to pass by the door, so I can be considered the second person to arrive at the scene."

One of the people gathered at the door to watch the fun also testified: "Then I was probably the third one to come. When I came, I saw this guy covering Miss Animusfia's eyes..."

However, Miss Animusfia may not be able to accept the reality, so she quickly took off the man's hand and insisted on confirming the body again...

Olga Marie thought about it, and it seemed that such a thing had happened, but she was immersed in shock and panic at the time, and what happened around her was actually a bit hazy.

El-Melloi II understands.

It was probably at this time that Olga Marie accepted the intimate contact without reacting. As a result, she subconsciously accepted the other person's appearance next to the corpse as an established phenomenon. It was only when someone pointed out that something was wrong that she realized something was wrong.

But blindfolding Olga Marie and not letting her see the corpse... is really not what a magician would do. He is so gentle that he doesn't seem like someone who should appear on a train where magicians gather.

Although the other party does not look like that kind of person, from the perspective of the interests of an orthodox magician, this action can be said to be very suspicious.

"When you cover the eyes of another person present, you should be able to do some small tricks, such as destroying the scene or something - is this what you think?" the young man said suddenly.

El-Melloi II was slightly frightened when his thoughts were guessed, but he quickly reacted and replied: "I have indeed thought about this possibility, but you will not do that, because if it is

You can definitely imagine the possibility of someone with past vision coming to see the scene."

Although they had just met, El-Melloi II felt that the other party was not someone who would do such imprudent behavior, and believed that he could think of it, and the other party would definitely think of it too.

It can be said that this is an intuition of El-Melloi II, or it can be said that the atmosphere around the other party gives people this feeling.

This kind of unreasonable feeling is actually a bit dangerous, because it is very likely that the other party deliberately made people think this way, but if you think about it this way, there will be no end. Just trust your own intuition.

"Past vision is not that useful." The young man looked at the old man who was examining the corpse and said calmly, "It's like he still knows nothing about the true identity of the murderer."

The old man stopped what he was doing and looked at the young man strangely: "How do you know...that my past has been interfered with?"

The guy was right again.

El-Melloi II was already used to it, but at the same time, more doubts arose in his heart.

Assume that this young man's inferences are correct.

So it is known:

1. The young man agrees with Olga Marie's judgment that "the old man is a murderer".

2. The young man knows that the old man's past will be interfered with, and thinks that the old man does not know who the real murderer is.

...If we follow this line of reasoning, the old man should have been used unconsciously to participate in the murder, and the real culprit is still hidden behind the scenes and is unknown for the time being.

After El-Melloi II came to the conclusion, he suddenly realized something and was speechless for a moment.

This is the first time he has reasoned based on other people's judgments...Why on earth is he reasoning so vigorously? What if the other person is wrong?

What's more, he doesn't even know what the other person bases his judgment on, so why would he subconsciously believe the other person?

"It sounds like you know a lot." The old man also noticed something similar to El-Melloi II, and looked at the young man suspiciously, "Can I ask, what do you know?"

"I almost know half of the truth, but I won't tell you my reasoning until I understand the full story of the incident." The young man smiled slightly, "But I can give you a hint...the missing head,

Where did it go?"

"This is the magic eye collection train." The old man said matter-of-factly, "It must have been taken away to extract the magic eyes of the deceased, right?"

"No, it's not that simple..."

Olga Marie said unbearably: "So, who are you?! Why are you here talking nonsense? Isn't it too suspicious?"

"Ah, sorry, it seems I haven't introduced myself."

The young man's smile is unapologetic.

"My name is James, and I'm a detective."

El-Melloi II: "………………"

——Are all young magicians these days so unprofessional?

(No one has figured out why Qiye is a heroic spirit. I’d like to stress that I explained it in my post, so I won’t reply to each one, okay)

The author has something to say: I tried to finish writing this world in ten chapters.

ps: Because Qiye is human, he doesn’t want people to recognize him as a heroic spirit. No one can tell. The synchronization rate is not high now.

Someone asked me again, can the little angel I saw please help me reply?

You should have guessed the card used... It was a heroic spirit who was very popular in the previous world. He used the name of his old enemy as a pseudonym because his real name was too famous...

And this time Qiye didn’t know the plot, so he had to rely on the Heroic Spirit Card to cheat (…
