Mage Joan

"First of all, it is not good for Youhui to choose a place. Why did you choose this desolate ghost place?"

"Furthermore, who is the'beautiful lady' Yolan Kaisha meets here?"

"Did Lancashire be present when she was killed, and what kind of fate did she suffer?"

"If she was also murdered at the time, why did she not find her body at the crime scene?"

"If the person is still alive, why didn't the police report afterwards, as if they disappeared out of thin air?"

"If she was kidnapped by the murderer at the time of the incident and unable to contact the outside world, is she still alive now?"

Joan silently listened to Mr. Pinkerton's analysis of the case, and nodded his head occasionally, agreeing.

The doubts pointed out by Mr. Detective are indeed worth pondering. In addition, Joan also put forward his own views from another angle.

"Mr. Lancashire was a resident of the'Hot Spring Palace' Hotel before he was killed. It is inferred from common sense that the lady he dated with, even if he was not a resident of the same hotel, at least then stayed in the resort of Baden As for whether it is a foreign tourist or a local resident, it is unknown."

"I understand what you mean, Joanne, and now we know that there is such a woman who was once closely related to Harel Lancashire, there is a clear goal, by asking hoteliers, residents and local residents Inquire, it is possible to confirm the identity of this mysterious lady."

Mr. Pinkerton smiled approvingly at the young mage.

"This is a good entry point, Joanne, you are really smart. The old fox of Moriarty is right. You can help me a lot."

Qiao An smiled slightly: "You have won the prize, Mr. Pinkerton, in fact, even if I don't say it, you have already noticed these doubts."

Mr. Detective didn't admit it or deny it, but encouraged Joan to continue.

"What is the second detail that raises your suspicion?"

"This is too obvious, it can no longer be regarded as details, you must have noticed that, Mr. Lancashire's fragment of consciousness is inscribed with information about the murderer."

Joan paused for a moment, and his complexion became slightly more delicate.

"The third answer shown by the "Chasing Mirror" shows that when Mr. Lancashire and his mistress were dating near the wetland, they were accidentally attacked by a group of monsters. He probably died in the hands of that group of monsters."

"The shards of consciousness have a deep memory of the fierce methods of the monsters. In addition, they also mentioned that they look like ‘giant human toads.’”

"If we analyze this text from the point of view of etymology, there is no ambiguity between "big" and "toad", but "human form" is worth playing with."

"Joan,'human form' is just a very common and common word. What other meaning can it have?" Mr. Pinkton asked with great interest.

"When we talk about taxonomy, the word "humanoid" is often used for two phrases with different meanings, one is "humanoid" and the other is "humanoid monster."

"But we must consider that Mr. Lancashire may not be familiar with the knowledge of taxonomy, so the monster he sees may also be neither a "humanoid creature" nor a "humanoid monster", but only appearance. The characteristics of human beings and toads, such as the Slaad family of the'Chaotic Sea'."

"There is also a "fighting demon" in the bottomless abyss, which also meets this description, and the furious demon is neither a "humanoid" nor a "humanoid monster", which is classified as "abyssal biological world" and "devil creature." "Tana Rinli" under the "door"..."

"Joan, if there is a group of'furious war monsters' from the bottomless abyss in the Baden Wetlands, then it is not just a Harel Lancashire who died, the entire hot spring town should have been completely destroyed." Mr. Pinkerton shook his head and sneered.

"I also know that this possibility is very small, but a small probability event does not mean that it does not exist at all..."

Mr. Pinkerton raised his hand to interrupt his defense.

"Joan, striving for rigor is not a bad thing, but it must be divided into occasions."

"You are not engaged in academic research right now. You can't be so nerdy. The tight time does not allow us to consider all the possibilities. You can only determine one of the most likely options and make it a priority investigation target."

"I don't care if the killer is a "humanoid", a "humanoid monster" or a "Tanari demon", I just want to know what kind of creature it is most likely, so can you give me a simple and clear answer?"

"Okay, I understand your intentions."

Joan sighed and gave some helpless answers that Mr. Detective wanted.

"According to the descriptive text of the "Chasing the Mirror", combined with the environmental and climatic factors of the Baden Wetland, I think that the murderer is likely to be the "Frogman"

After a little hesitation, Joanne still couldn't resist the rigorous way of thinking, and added another candidate.

"If it wasn't a "crazy frogman", then the most likely one was a "marsh toad"."

"A mad frogman" or a "marsh toad"..." Mr. Pinkton murmured, thinking.

"Both types of human creatures, at first glance, look like humans."

"But look carefully at their skulls, webbed hands and feet, raised eyes, wide mouths, swollen abdomen, and smooth, sticky, wet skin, which are clearly characteristic of amphibians and anurans."

"There are a lot of differences between the appearances and habits of the "Frozen Frogman" and the "Marsh Toad Man", but the information given by the "Chasing Mirror" is too vague, and I cannot make a more accurate judgment."

Joan shrugged.

As far as his knowledge reserve is concerned, he has tried his best.

"Thank you, Joanne, the information provided is very complete."

Mr. Pinkerton smiled confidently.

"Have you guessed the race of the murderer?" Joan asked urgently. "Is it a frogman or a marsh toad?"

"In the Baden area, both the frogman and the marshman have been observed, but these two races had a fierce conflict many years ago, and then the frogman was defeated by the marshman. The tribe was forced to flee the Baden Wetlands. There have been no reports of sightings of mad frogmen in recent years. I have heard people talk about them, and occasionally there are traces of marsh toads on the edge of the wetland."

"If the witness's testimony is true, there must be at least one hidden Marsh Toad tribe deep in the wetland, except that these monsters rarely leave their territory and have never had a head-on conflict with human society."

Mr. Pinkerton snorted a pipe on the stone beside him and turned to ask Joan: "How much do you know about the creature "Mutah"?"

"I haven't seen the marsh toad in person, but I have read introductory text and illustrations about this creature in the book."

Joan frowned a little, and was fascinated by the memory of the "Marsh Toad Man" entry in "The Book of Vales Monsters (Human Creatures)".
