() After some simple and boring introductions to the uniformed girl named Jessica Elphinstone, the three fell silent again. For a moment, no one was willing to speak first. Then, the girl seemed to have thought of something.

, looked at Kirito and Dalian with extremely serious expressions, and said, "You just said you were looking for something, right? Are you the police?"

"Do you think we look alike?" The girl's question made Kirito laugh out loud.

"Hmm... It doesn't seem like it." Jessica shook her head lack of confidence, pouted as if she was thinking about something, and said: "Then are you detectives? Are you here to inquire about the rumor?"

"Rumor?" This time, Kirito clearly showed interest, his beautiful eyebrows raised, and Darian's crystal eyes without any emotion also flashed for a moment.

"There are rumors that a serial murderer who escaped from prison is hiding somewhere in this school. Since a few days ago, one of our teachers and students has disappeared. Some people say that they may have been kidnapped by the murderer.

Yes, you are also here to investigate this case?"

Only then did Kirito observe that when the girl named Jessica in front of him talked about this matter, some extremely strong emotions seemed to flash through her eyes, including anger? Fear? Or self-blame... probably

All.

"Serial murderer...Benjamin Dufren...It is rumored that he escaped from a prison that was absolutely impossible to escape..." Kirito closed his eyes and said softly, then shook his head and said in a subtle tone:

"Unfortunately, I did hear that two of this student were missing, but we are not here to arrest Diffron."

"Then what are you here for?" Jessica's shoulders slumped down in disappointment, and the ponytail of her chestnut hair swayed feebly.

"We are here to find books." Dalian said to the girl in a daze. Jessica seemed unable to understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment, and blinked her eyes several times in a daze.

"Dalian!" Kirito's sudden soft drink instantly made the girl in black shut her mouth. Obviously, she almost wanted to expose Lou again just now. Then, Kirito asked the girl in front of him in a tone that was close to questioning.

Said: "Speaking of which, Jessica, what are you doing in the library? Isn't this floor forbidden to students?"

"Eh? Ah... this is..." Looking at the girl who couldn't form words for a moment, Kirito became more convinced of his guess. "Is the bat behind your back intended to be used as a protective weapon?

Could it be that you are the one looking for a serial murderer?"

"Ugh..." Facing Kirito's sharp questioning with sharp eyes that were incompatible with his delicate appearance, Jessica opened and closed her mouth and was speechless, and in the end she could only let out a small whine.

Voices.

"A little girl like you walking around in a deserted place with a broken stick is no different from a murderer than a duck carrying a carrot to his door. I really don't know whether to call you reckless or reckless.

Stupid... Is your brain all filled with glue?" Dali sighed deeply in a pretentious manner, looking at the chestnut-colored ponytail girl in front of her with a hurtful look, as if she was looking at a dead tree.

"Si..." Dalian's merciless behavior made Jessica hold her breath. She took a breath and stared at the girl in black again, like a puppy declaring its territory to newcomers.

The high-pitched voice said: "Yes, I want you to be troublesome! You think I am happy to do this, but..."

Unfortunately, Jessica was interrupted before she could finish her words. Of course, it was not the beautiful boy and the girl in black who interrupted her. A scream came from somewhere in the courtyard.

When she finished her words, she was shouting almost frantically, as if she was suffering from unimaginable fear and pain.

Kirito, Darian and Jessica were silent, and the three of them looked at each other for a while. Then, Kirito was naturally the first to take action. He quickly stood up, and the corners of his windbreaker danced, and he

The girl in black, still biting the bread, picked her up by the waist and picked her up like luggage.

"Wait, Kirito! Stop it, you rude maniac! I'm still drinking afternoon tea..." Kirito hugged Dalian, who was still struggling, and ran, while Jessica stared blankly.

She followed them away, and then... "Wait... wait a minute! You two wait for me!" She chased them in the direction in which they ran away.

The person who screamed was a female student in the courtyard near the library. When Kirito arrived, her voice was hoarse and her body was covered in blood. Even from a distance, it could be seen that something was unusual.

"What's wrong, what happened?!" At the critical moment, Kirito helped the female student who was in a state of panic and was about to fall to the ground at any time. Dalian fell to the grass as if she was thrown out, and the corners of her mouth were filled with anger.

Twitching, when she discovered what exactly happened here, her eyes that were as dazzling as the night suddenly widened.

"Kirito!" Following the direction of Dalian's finger, Kirito's eyes subconsciously stared at the past. It was a leather bag stained with blood and a few books dropped on the ground. A half-naked woman was pressed on it.

underneath these things.

Judging from the appearance of a woman, she should pay great attention to physical exercise, which can be seen from her tall and strong figure.

"No...it's not me, I don't know anything..." The female student, who was the first witness at the scene, shook her head crazily with an emotion that was almost insane. "I just saw...I don't know whose schoolbag it is."

It fell here... I just wanted to see whose belongings I got close to... Who knew it suddenly fell out of the schoolbag..."

Kirito looked silently at the female student who kept moaning as if he was talking nonsense. As he nodded, the female student lost consciousness as if she was finally relieved.

"Nicholas...Teacher..." When Jessica ran over panting and saw the body in front of Kirito, she held her breath and fell silent. Kirito turned back and asked without changing his expression: "

Someone you know?" Jessica nodded slightly with a livid expression.

"She's the... dormitory of our school, one of the two missing people. She suddenly disappeared last weekend. Everyone said she might have been kidnapped by a murderer..."

"What was the cause of her death, Kirito?" Dalian slowly got up from the ground and looked at the corpse with emotionless eyes. Kirito squatted next to the corpse and pointed at the huge wound on his abdomen.

: "Although I'm not a doctor, and I don't know how to examine corpses, no matter how you look at the corpse in front of you, this should be the direct cause of death."

There were no other obvious external injuries on the body, and the wounds on her abdomen did not appear to be accidentally made during a scuffle. Her abdomen was cut open in a precise straight line as if performing a sacred ceremony, and there were several pieces of internal organs.

It was even taken away. This meticulous and thoughtful approach made people feel even more unusual about the prisoner.

"The cause of this woman's death is very simple. There is nothing unnatural about it. This is a crime that ordinary people can commit." Kirito explained lightly, but after hearing his words, Jessica's face showed a smile.

Unable to conceal his anger, he opened his mouth and roared: "A crime committed by ordinary humans?! Do you want to say that this is something that normal people can do?!"

"I don't know whether the prisoner's mental state is normal, but on the battlefield, I have seen some corpses that died more tragically than this." Facing Jessica who impulsively questioned him, Kirito showed a gentle but yet thoughtful expression.

With a charming smile, he said in a very lonely tone.

"Are you... a soldier?!" Jessica seemed to be shocked, and for a moment she stopped the urge to punch the beautiful face of the man in front of her.

"How is that possible?" Kirito spread his hands gently and said with a smile: "I'm just a traveler who travels around. He only visited the battlefields after the war a few times by chance."

Jessica was silent, and Kirito's words made her look confused for a moment.

"Speaking of which...where did this corpse...come from?" Kirito looked up at the clear blue sky and said in a very serious and weird tone.

After Kirito's words, the two girls present fell silent for a moment. Judging from the body, the time when the woman died was only a few hours ago. Judging from the amount of blood splashed around, this was the first place where the woman died.

A scene, but what is extremely strange is... Since there is such a amount of blood splashed around, the prisoner should also have blood stains on him, but there are no traces of anyone leaving around. This scene is not so much a locked room murder case

, it would be better to say that it has exceeded the scope of human cognition.

"Ah... I just wanted to come here to recycle the book... I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the murderer. It seems that if you want to come back, you must first find the murderer - Benjamin Dufren." Kirito said lazily.

He shrugged and spoke in a tone that sounded like he was troubled, but his eyes now had a sharp luster, like a gaze that a prey had found food.
