I'm really not a top magician

only...

"But of course!"

Lyon said.

Shadow smiled.

"I swore I would save her," Lyon said.

"You say, swear? To whom?"

"To my soul, of course!"

Leon looked up and looked at Shadow.

Shadow was startled for a moment, but then burst into laughter:

"Then go and meet your destiny, Leon."

P.S. I revised the last few paragraphs several times, but I still didn’t feel it was quite right. . . .

Chapter 127: Even in the Type-Moon world, we can reason!

After listening to Leif's information, Luna began to reason again.

There are three main points that can be analyzed from what Leon said just now.

First, Leif committed suicide after communicating with the shadow.

Second, after the black shadow dealt with Leif's body, he returned to Leif's room to clean up the scene.

Third, Rafe hid two letters before leaving.

Originally, based on the autopsy report, it could be inferred that Rafe died of suicide. Luna originally had doubts about this reasoning, and clue 1 was only evidence to help Luna confirm this point, and could not provide more detailed goals.

The second clue, cleaning up the scene, is itself an unreasonable suspicion. If the murderer only wanted to kill Leif, there would be no need to come back to clean up the scene. He could just run away.

"Unless I have to come back to clean up the scene!" Luna muttered to herself.

"So what exactly are the enemies trying to hide by going back to clean up the scene?"

Luna thought about it for a long time but still had no clue. Then she realized that she seemed to have made a very serious mistake from the beginning.

Her previous thinking was wrong from the beginning. Based on the fact that the enemy returned to Leif's room to clean up the scene, she concluded that the enemy was trying to cover up the evidence of his crime. Then she thought about it over and over again in this direction, but to no avail.

This reasoning was not wrong, because according to general crime, the murderer cleaned up the scene, most likely to conceal their crime evidence. And this stereotype and inertial thinking is also the reason why Luna made the mistake from the beginning.

Because this is only the majority of people, there is another small part. It is too hasty to judge that the enemy is trying to cover up the evidence of his crime based on the murderer coming back to clean up the scene.

"Sherlock Holmes said: It is a terrible mistake to make a guess without the facts to support it. People who do not have a correct sense will always use the facts to test their own guesses, instead of using the correct method to deduce the conclusions based on the facts and see if they can fit the facts they have already obtained."

Luna muttered to herself. She had to admit, as a very successful magician, she had collected quite a few of the things that ordinary people saw. Of course, her father's influence was also part of it.

"This path doesn't work for now, so let's try another one. Also, we need to combine all three clues. I'm going to rule out the theory that the enemy returned to clean up the scene in order to conceal the evidence. For now, I'll assume they returned for other purposes."

"So, whydunit?"

For magicians, it is meaningless to explore whodunit and howdunit, but we can also explore whydunit.

"No matter what, the murderer's behavior can be explained by some logic. And we need to find this underlying logic."

"The flaw isn't in the two most obvious clues, but in all the traces we already know."

Based on Leon's description, Luna reviewed the incident in her mind.

Adrenaline is secreted crazily and brain cells are active at high speed. They are like fish in a pond, fighting for food frantically.

Review it over and over again, and reject it over and over again.

The various clues in the investigation and Leon's intelligence began to converge, and his brain was like a high-speed spinning wheel.

As various pieces of information were pieced together, the case began to become clearer and clearer.

Unconsciously, Luna felt that she had entered a certain state, as if she had broken through time and space.

As if time was passing, scenes began to appear before my eyes.

In the evening, Lisa and Leif were attacked by a shadow in the room. Leif hid the letter before leaving and went to meet the man in black.

After a conversation, Rafe committed suicide in front of the man in black, and the latter returned to Rafe's room to deal with the scene.

Swish!

A flash of lightning flashed through Luna's mind.

At this moment, Luna cheered reflexively and woke up.

She felt tired after a day of investigation, but at this moment she could hardly suppress the ecstasy in her heart.

"I know, I know, hahahaha, it's such a simple thing, I didn't think of it at first!"

There was no time to lose, Luna started running towards Rafe's room!

Lisa had no other mood to watch the game today.

She always felt that her life didn't seem to have changed much, but every time she stepped out of the door, she felt like something was missing. She opened and closed the door repeatedly, until finally, when she thought back, she realized that the best teacher in her life for the past six years seemed to have left.

She didn't cry.

Most of the time, I just don’t want to talk.

She thought she would be sadder, more painful, or more upset.

But in fact,

She just didn't want to talk to anyone else anymore.

At least today,

Let me be alone and quiet for a while.

That's what Lisa originally thought.

She felt there was nothing point in hanging out outside, so she went back into her room, not even daring to close the door, because she could always recall the teacher knocking on the door from time to time and those kind questions.

I originally thought about practicing magic, but I didn't feel like it. In the end, I started packing up out of boredom.

Just because I'm bored.

But when she was packing her luggage, she found the gift clothes and books given by the teacher, the small toys that the teacher used to encourage her, and the scenes of the past.

Lisa suddenly laughed, and her laughter was a little uncomfortable because she suddenly had a strong urge to look at the teacher again.

It was not until this time that Lisa regretted why she did not take photos with her teacher on a regular basis.

Teacher Leif, my Lisa felt a pang in her heart. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the door.

Before Lisa could react, she saw a figure appear at the door, but the glare of the sunlight made it difficult for her to see clearly.

"Teacher," Lisa muttered.

But when I looked closely, I felt that the person in front of me did not seem as tall as the teacher. On the contrary, he was a little slender.

"Teacher? What are you talking about, Lisa?"

Lisa was a little disappointed when she heard Luna's voice, but that frustrated mood was immediately covered by a smile.

"What's up, Luna?" Lisa asked.

"Nothing, I just came to help you find the murderer!"

Luna's figure at the door grew taller in the sunlight.

Chapter 128 Two Letters [Additional Update]

"Nothing, I just came to help you find the murderer!"

As soon as Luna finished speaking, she felt a sharp gaze cast at her.

Instead, after hearing this, Lisa asked anxiously, "Luna, have you found out who the murderer is?"

Lisa now really wants to know who the murderer is, and she wants to kill that person.

But Luna shook her head: "No, but I found a very important clue and I still need your help."

Lisa believed Luna's words, so she followed her back to Rafe's room.

The last time she came, she was helping to clean up the things in Leif's room as a disciple. She thought she would never have the chance to come back to this room, but she didn't expect that she would come back again before even a day had passed.

But this time, she came here to help the teacher find out the truth.

"What are we doing here?" Lisa asked straight to the point.

"Because the clue is right here." Luna replied.

"Here?" Lisa asked in confusion.

It's really different from what she thought.

"Didn't the murderer destroy the scene here?" Lisa asked.

"That was just a small trap set by the murderer. His purpose was to make all of us think that he came back to clean up the scene in order to eliminate the evidence." Luna said.

This was the mistake she'd made from the start. Her overly arbitrary judgment had led her into a blind spot too early. In fact, if she'd noticed other details earlier, she could have deduced the truth. Fortunately, Sajo Aika sent an informant to help her at this critical moment, which allowed her to understand everything.

Lisa's curiosity was also completely aroused by Luna. She asked curiously: "Then tell me, what is going on?"

"First of all, Rafe was not murdered, but committed suicide!" said Luna.

Lisa was stunned when she heard this.

She turned to look at Luna and demanded, "How could it be suicide? And Luna, didn't you believe from the beginning that it was Fareus who did it?"

From the very beginning of Rafe's death, everyone believed that Fareus was the biggest suspect in the case, and all the signs of Fareus also showed that he was actually very suspicious.

It was just because of Luna as a witness that Fareus was no longer suspected of being the direct perpetrator and took a step back to become an indirect perpetrator.

In fact, many people believe that it was Fareus who instigated others to do it.

So when she heard Luna say that Leif was not murdered by him, but committed suicide, she became a little angry. However, considering that Luna always had a clear purpose, even when she was most suspicious of Fareus, she helped Fareus get rid of suspicion because she was a witness.

Now that Lisa heard Luna say this, it was a little hard to believe, but on the other hand, she was looking forward to her reasoning.

Lisa's reaction was a bit irritable now, and Luna knew what she should say. "According to the crime scene, there are no signs of any magical combat. So, how powerful could the enemy be to cause Leif to die silently without even a chance to react? This is a big mystery."

"And Leif's fatal injury was a knife wound to his chest that pierced his heart. How could a wound of that magnitude possibly kill a magus of the highest rank?"

"The last and more important point is that someone saw Leif commit suicide."

"Based on the above points, I have to believe that Leif committed suicide!"

Luna said seriously.

She knew that this fact might be a little difficult for Lisa to accept, but she had no choice but to say it.

But to Luna's surprise, Lisa suddenly looked up at her and said with a determined look:

"Even if the teacher really committed suicide, there could be other reasons. You came here specifically to call me, not just to tell me this, right?"

Luna was a little surprised. She thought Lisa would be overwhelmed or show other surprised expressions when she heard the news. She was even prepared to comfort her after she said those words.

But what she didn't expect was that Lisa could still maintain such a calm mind. How little do I know my friend?

Luna suddenly felt a little annoyed.

"Yes, I pulled you over here because I found a clue that needs your help."

Luna woke up from her recollection. "Because the witness saw Leif commit suicide that day, and also saw him hide two letters before leaving this place. Combined with the inference that the murderer's purpose in cleaning up the scene was not to remove traces, the murderer's purpose is very clear."

"The murderer deliberately risked being discovered and returned, even pretending to clean up the scene, just to find the two letters Leif had hidden before he left."

Luna reasoned seriously, this was the information she had obtained after gathering Leon's intelligence.

"Although I don't know the full truth of the matter, I think that since the murderer attaches so much importance to these two letters, I believe that there must be very important clues in them."

After hearing this, Lisa felt a little excited: "Then what should I do?"

"Look here," said Luna.

Lisa nodded and quickly searched every corner of the room.

But after seeing this, Luna felt that some details were still missing.

If they searched in this way, the murderer would have found the letter long ago. Leif also knew that this would be the result. So what would he do?

Just as he was thinking about this, Lisa suddenly exclaimed, "Luna! Look at this spell!"
