"You're miserable," said Gregory, startled as he glanced in the direction of the T70 in the rearview mirror, sensing the car tilting unusually to the left rear. "Boy, you won't ask me to get you skin, will you?"

"I don't know," Chiba pouted as she looked out the window. "I can't help it, napalm, I'm lucky to have only one layer of skin missing!"

"Well, what did you find...... Well, I know you guys definitely didn't take anything out, so what do you see? ”

"The photos describe what we saw, and besides, I'm curious why the other party tortured Chianti to that extent, but he opened up to Cohen." Fujiwara said.

"Maybe it's just because Chianti didn't speak, and Cohen did—so a quick death was used as a reward."

But there are two problems with that. First of all, Cohen knows no less than Chianti, they are teammates and they are equals. And now the fact is that Chianti was kidnapped after Cohen was dead, so if the other party's purpose was to extract a confession, Cohen should have already said everything he could get from Chianti, and what Cohen couldn't provide, Chianti couldn't. Qianyu shook her head. As for the second ......"

"There's no way to explain why Chianti's relatives were also arrested and had their throats cut to die quickly, right? That relative had no connection with the organization at all, and there was no point in torturing her to extract a confession. Hotaru looked at Chiba with a look of approval on her face and said this.

"So the most likely scenario now is that Cohen's death was not intentionally caused by the other party, but an accident." Chiba shifted the conversation in a direction that made the other three feel a little in a dead end of their minds. "You feel that way, don't you? If I were a murderer, I wouldn't have executed them in the weird way of hitting the back of my spine for whatever purpose. If you want to torture the other person, just continue to let the rats eat him. And if you want to have a good time, since you have analyzed that he is tied to the table like this Chianti, then the most normal way should be to give it from the front, such as cutting off the head with a kitchen knife, or copying the relative's throat cutting death method. ”

"I think he might not have been tied to the table, but simply taped to the side, after all...... It's almost impossible to hit that hellish place while lying on the platform, and you can't break it if you do. As Fujiwara said this, he was suddenly interrupted by Gregory.

"Could it be that when he was tormented, he those people, and then the group accidentally pushed him to the edge of the dissecting table and beat him to death." Grigory guessed. "That rat cage can't hang on him all the time, after all, if you don't take care of it at night, it's not good for the rat to eat his heart. So if it were me, I would definitely torture for a few hours a day, and let him rest and recover the rest of the time for the subsequent torture. ”

"It's unlikely, the tape marks are only visible on the front half of the body, and not in the back, which suggests that Cohen must have been fixed to some plane, not tied up by a circle of tape." Thousand Feathers denied. "If anything...... Is it possible that when he died, his head poked out of the execution table? If his head had been at a suitable distance from the execution table at that time, and then his neck strength was stronger, he might have been able to make his spine collide with the edges and corners of the execution table at a very fast speed by shaking his head backwards, and he would have successfully committed suicide. ”

"It's not easy for the neck strength to do this kind of thing, and it's more likely that someone else will be knocked on the head in anger, such as Cohen may have scolded them and provoked the executioner." Gregory rejected the idea of a thousand feathers. "But all in all, I think the result of this accidental death is defensible. And because Cohen died before he could tell valuable news, they kidnapped Chianti for a second interrogation. If this is the hypothesis, then Chianti's relatives were also kidnapped to ......"

"Hostage, or torture, to force Chianti into submission, right?" Hotaru replied.

"Then if that's the case, things won't be good." Qianyu's expression was a little solemn. "Chianti's relatives died quickly, and Chianti died torture, right? If Chianti had been tortured to death, and her relatives had died after that, then none of this was too bad. But if it was her relatives who died first, and Chianti was tortured to death after that...... Then we need to think about whether Chianti said something very important. After all, if I were a prisoner, there would only be one reason why I would kill the person I was blackmailing, and that was that the person I was forced to submit to was no longer worthy. ”

"For example, if Chianti has confessed, then Chianti is useless to the prisoner, and her relatives are naturally useless. In this case, of course, the murderer may choose to give his relatives a painful treat, and then slowly torture Chianti with the most brutal means, so that she can taste extreme pain before she dies. ”

If that's the case, what can she confide in? Are you included? Hotaru immediately asked Fujiwara.

"Her words are not good, my identity belongs to Belmode, as long as this guy doesn't investigate anything, I think I should be safe. As for whether she can investigate...... I don't know, but she's not known for her intelligence-gathering abilities in the organization. ”

"But everybody knows that Chianti doesn't like Belmode, and that's something to consider – she's hated Belmode since the Calvados incident." Grigory reminded.

"If you hate Belmode, you won't target her subordinates, will you?" Chiba shrugged. "In comparison, Sister Hotaru, you're in a little more trouble!"

"Huh?" Hotaru turned her head and looked at Chiba.

"That friend of yours, Miss Nami, didn't suffer much physical torture, do you think it's because the interrogators are gentle, or because she's quicker to confess?" Qian Yu said word by word. "If that's what she knows about you, whether it's your work or your home address or school, could be in jeopardy."

She ...... I don't know where Fujiwara's home is - don't look at me, we're all in the hotel, and I still have a strong sense of anti-detection in this regard. And even if I had said it before, it would have been the apartment I used to live in, not the new place Fujiwara rented now. The National Police Agency already knew about the old place, and it wouldn't be a big problem if she knew it from her mouth again. ”

"It's better to be careful, in case someone wants to take you hostage for ransom, so I've investigated you," Gregor summed up the discussion with this sentence. "That's pretty much it for today, let's go back and rest. If there is no new emergency, we will meet the day after tomorrow. ”

"But that corpse will definitely be delivered to you soon, right?" Qian Yu glanced at the fire truck that passed by them and honked its horn, and asked. "How can you have more than one day off...... Probably going to work, right? ”

"If you fix the napalm, the corpse is already useless, and if you can't find anything, you may not even be able to find the body at all, so believe me, there won't be a job."
