"There are some clues." Angel nodded and admitted.
But when Zuniga saw this, his expression was full of doubt: "Are you sure?"
He has a very clear understanding of the upper limit of Traffic Bat's ability. With the effect of "Traffic Insight", it is impossible to find clues.
Angel chuckled: "My traffic bat has something special. It has a unique appendix."
"Appendix?" Zuniga's eyes flashed with confusion. He naturally knew about the "Appendix".
"Appendix" and "Prologue" actually belong to the outline of the magic book, but "Prologue" applies to the entire book, while "Appendix" applies to a single page.
In terms of the variety of effects, "Appendix" is actually more "specialized" than "Prologue".
"What is your appendix..." Zuniga asked subconsciously, but he quickly reacted: "Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask, and you must not tell me."
Appendix, prologue...this category all belongs to privacy.
Especially for magicians, if you ask about other people's "Appendix", those with a slightly hot temper will probably fall out immediately.
Even though Angel, as an "outsider", may temporarily care about this privacy due to the short contact time, once he comes back to his senses, a rift will easily develop between them.
Zuniga had finally managed to build a peaceful friendship with the "Soul Sanctuary" before, but he didn't want to capsize the ship because of it.
Besides, if he asked Angel and Angel answered, what if Angel asked him back, would he want to reveal his trump card?
Therefore, Zuniga cut his losses promptly.
"Although I don't know what "Appendix" you gave the traffic bat, but if you can detect clues, it is definitely not an ordinary appendix." Zuniga sighed: "Speaking of which, this is the first time I have heard that someone would have the luxury of adding an appendix.
Use it on low-level monsters..."
Such as "Appendices", "Footnotes", "Chapter Pages"... This kind of outline for a single page, generally speaking, magicians will use them on intermediate and high-level monsters.
Even Zuniga himself uses the "Appendix" on high-level monsters.
After all, once you use it, you can't dismantle it.
Angel didn't care: "When I got the "Appendix", there were only a few pages in the magic book, so I just used it."
As for the problem of being unable to be disassembled, that is not a problem for Angel.
He has "golden scissors" that can not only dismantle "inactive text", but also all other types of pages. Naturally, they also include: prologue, introduction, appendix, postscript, footnotes...etc.
It is precisely because he has no worries that he dares to use "Appendix. Viralization" on traffic bats.
So far, the effect of traffic bat plus viralization is pretty good.
At the very least, if the "Missing Knight Case" had not gone viral, it would have been difficult for him to find clues...
"That's right, power is good only when it is in your hands. Moreover, special pages like "Appendix" are extremely valuable. If you don't use them and let others know about them, they will probably come to snatch them." So put it all together.
, Zuniga also thinks Angel should use it.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Since you said you found a clue, you don't know what the clue is?" Zuniga was curious about the effect of the appendix, but he was even more curious about what the clue was.
He has also been in this villa for a long time, and he has found quite a lot of "suspected clues", but they are similar to the shadows, light spots, gestures, etc. he mentioned before. They are clues that he "deduced" by himself.
, but he himself doesn’t know whether his “reasoning” is accurate or whether the clues are useful.
Now that Angel has clearly obtained the clue, Zuniga is also very curious and wants to verify whether it is consistent with his conjecture?
Angel didn't hide it and pointed directly to the swimsuit canvas.
"The clues are really hidden in this canvas?" Zuniga looked surprised, "Was my previous guess correct?"
Angel: "...the clue is indeed this canvas, but it has nothing to do with your previous speculation."
Hearing Angel's rebuttal, Zuniga didn't care, but continued to speculate with great interest: "Then let me guess, could the clue be this..."
Zuniga stretched out his finger and pointed at the round hemisphere of the woman in a swimsuit on the canvas, pressed on the beach chair.
Because there is no direct sunlight, the round hemisphere like a futon is not only white, but also looks full of fleshy elasticity.
"I was a little wrong before. Judging from the canvases and tapestries here, I know that Alfred must be an old pervert, and his focus must be on some special parts, like here." Zuniga: "
If he wants to hide clues, this is probably the place to be!"
Angel: "Does it have to be breasts? Why can't it be butt?"
Zuniga: "???"
Judging from this canvas alone, the expressive power of the buttocks is much more impactful than the chest, and it is even more erect.
Angel: "Also, even if the focus is on the chest, what are the clues hidden by Alfred? How do you interpret it?"
Zuniga was silent.
In fact, from Angel's flat tone, Zuniga already knew that his "reasoning" was probably wrong again. But he was still a little unconvinced and whispered: "Look, does this look like the number 3...
…”
Angel looked at Zuniga silently, his eyes changing from calm to strange, then subtle, and finally with a bit of pity.
Zuniga also wanted to argue: "If it's not this, then isn't it..."
Angel: "Stop guessing."
"I'm not guessing, I'm reasoning." Zuniga's face felt a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to argue with reason.
Angel: "Okay, it's reasoning. But the clues this time probably don't require such high-end technology."
"ah?"
Angel pointed at the woman in the canvas: "The clue this time is her. It's not the shadow on her body, her gestures, or her breasts or her butt, but her person."
Zuniga didn't react at first, "What do you mean..."
"Her name is Zoe. According to feedback from traffic insights, she is Alfred's secret lover. At the same time, she is also deeply related to Alfred's disappearance." Angele paused: "And where she is currently
The place is..."
Angel turned around and pointed to the poster.
"Ruiyi Theater."
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Angel and Zuniga have come out of the underground neighborhood and come to the surface.
Get ready to take the city circle train and go to the Ruiyi Theater to meet this Ms. Zoe.
As they headed to the train platform, Zuniga was still muttering: "The clue is so simple? There isn't even any element of reasoning. Why?"
Angel said calmly: "After all, novels are novels, and reality is reality. All the mechanisms in mystery novels serve the plot. If the deceased had the time to leave such complicated clues before his death, that would be enough for him.
Self-rescue is even enough for him to go to the hospital to find a doctor..."
Zuniga let out a long sigh.
When he previously learned that Alfred's villa contained clues that even the Knights had not found, he was actually happy inside.
He is not a typical mystery fan, but he has read a lot of mystery novels. Suddenly, he personally serves as a "detective", and he really wants to shine through this.
If he could use his strong logic and keen thinking to organize the evidence into a chain and place it in front of Angel, causing him to exclaim and sigh... Just imagining it would make Zuniga feel very happy.
But the reality is very helpless. There is no such complicated reasoning, and the clues are directly in front of you.
Also because the clues were too straightforward, his previous reasoning seemed extremely absurd.
well.
"Tell me, since this clue is so simple and even given in vain, why didn't the Knights discover this clue?" Zuniga asked.
It was precisely because he learned that "the Knights had not cracked the clues" that he excitedly acted as a detective.
Angel shrugged: "I don't know either. But... if you have read a lot of mystery novels, you will find that when the clues come from inanimate objects at the scene, the reasoning is usually relatively easy, because these dead objects are
The state is relatively stable and the factors available for analysis are relatively clear."
"But if the clues point to living things, including animals, humans, etc., then the difficulty of reasoning will be greatly increased. After all, humans are the most uncertain variables, and their behaviors, motivations and psychological states are complex and changeable, making it difficult to be accurate.
Predict and grasp.”
"So, is there a possibility that someone from the Knights went to see Ms. Zoe, but Ms. Zoe denied her relationship with Alfred. The Knights have no other evidence, so they can only abandon this line."
After hearing this, Zuniga also fell into thinking for a while: "You are right. According to you, Ms. Zoe is Alfred's secret lover. Since it is a 'secret' lover, it must not be known to outsiders.
.”
Now that Alfred has disappeared, as long as Zoe insists that she has nothing to do with Alfred, it will be difficult for outsiders to get the truth from her.
Of course, there are also some problems to be solved. For example, Alfred hung Ms. Zoe's cool canvas in his home, which itself is a very strange behavior.
If the Knights really want to pursue "Alfred's disappearance case", they should not ignore this anomaly.
Just when Zuniga was thinking a lot, suddenly, a voice came from his breast pocket.
"Master, I have found Ms. Zoe's message."
Angel's footsteps stopped instantly and his eyes looked at Zuniga's breast pocket.
Zuniga took out a card from his breast pocket. As soon as the card came into contact with the outside world, it turned into thousands of colored lights, forming an illusory colorful figure.
It can be seen from the graceful figure and charming eyes that this is the printed girl, Dan.
Not long ago, when Zuniga learned of Zoe's existence, he asked Print Girl to create a clone to find out Zoe's identity.
According to his idea, even if the printed girl can be divided into thousands of things, it will probably take some time to find out Zoe's identity. But now, less than twenty minutes have passed, and the printed girl has found the information, which makes Zuni
Kadu was a little surprised.
After Dan's silhouette appeared, before she could show her charming posture, she heard Zuni add: "Don't be awkward, let's get down to business."
Dan opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing and nodded: "I just found out the identity of Ms. Zoe. She is quite famous in the modern city, especially twenty years ago, she was almost a generation's dream.
lover……"
As Dan told them, they also roughly understood Ms. Zoe's experience.
Ms. Zoe is now in her forties and is currently the boss behind the Ruiyi Theater. But these are just a small chapter of her experience. If you read forward, you will find that Ms. Zoe's experience is extremely legendary.
She was born in an underground neighborhood, and her parents died when she was a child. She had no identity or ability, so she lived in the world every day. Later, she grew up a little, and because she was pretty, she went to the red alley to make money.
After staying in Hongxiang for three years, she was lucky enough to be spotted by a big boss who took her to the surface to train her as an artist. Although her debut drama was also an adult drama, very superficial and explicit, her performance on the drama stage
Her wonderful performance made almost all the men in the modern city go crazy for her.
She had just turned twenty at that time, and she became the dream girl of a generation.
After that, her experience became richer, with successes and failures.
He has been an idol in front of the stage, and also shined as a person behind the scenes.
He was once implicated in a murder case, and was also rumored to have an affair with the old chairman of Prada Media. Later, he was wanted by several chaebol companies.
After twenty years of ups and downs, although she no longer shines on the stage, as a avant-garde artist, she not only controls the Ruiyi Theater, but also has her own fashion brand.
It can be said that Zoe is definitely a legend.
Also because she was extremely famous, when Dan looked up her information, it took almost no effort and he found her quickly.
"Are you sure the information you are looking for is true? Including her making money in Red Alley?" Zuniga looked at Dan. He had been in Modern City for ten years and knew exactly where Red Alley was.
Dan nodded: "It's true. She said these contents herself when she was interviewed by reporters."
Some people, after becoming successful, are unwilling to mention the scandals of the past; but some people don't mind uncovering the scars, whether it's to look away or to create a personality. In short, Zoe revealed all her past.
On the contrary, many people took pity on her and gave her a higher reputation.
"In that case, I understand why the Knights didn't continue to investigate Zoe..." Zuniga murmured in a low voice.
In a sense, Zoe has made her debut as a "porn star". Her cool canvases, not to mention Alfred, are probably found in many men's homes.
Therefore, when people in the Knights saw "Zoe's" swimsuit canvas hidden in Alfred's bedroom, they probably only thought that Alfred was a "kindred spirit" and did not feel that he was related to Zoe.
Zuniga: "Has Zoe ever had any scandals related to Alfred?"
Dan shook his head: "No, since Zoe quit the front-line stage and started to enter the design industry, she has no love scandals."
In other words, the relationship between Alfred and Zoe is indeed a secret.
It is estimated that even the people in the Knights don't know, which is why the Knights did not go to the Zoe line to investigate in depth.
