The performance hall of the No. 3 ship was mixed, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Ronald and Nicole were able to perceive such details, but the others were not, so the excitement around them barely changed, as if nothing was happening here.

“……”

In the bustling air, Ronald and Nicole glanced at each other.

The two didn't have any conversation, and they understood each other's thoughts just by eye contact - to see what was going on.

Without saying a word, Ronald and Nicole walked in the direction from which the bloody breath came.

It wasn't until they were halfway through the crowd that Nicole couldn't help but ask:

"Ronald, I thought about it."

Ronald looked sideways, thinking that Nicole had found some clue:

"Did you discover the source of the smell?"

"Not really." Nicole shook her head very dryly, "It's just that I suddenly thought that since I took you on patrol in the first place, wherever you go, it seems that there is a high probability of encountering this kind of troublesome thing." ”

"So—if I had come over and play by myself today, wouldn't I have touched these things?"

“……”

Nicole's chatter almost didn't make Ronald stunned.

But fortunately, this guy has a lot of trouble, so even if he is a little weak-hearted, Ronald directly retorted:

"Nicole, ask yourself."

"While it's true that I encounter strange things everywhere I go, aren't you that type of person?"

“……”

Nicole's face couldn't hold back.

She originally ridiculed Ronald for his bad luck, but who would have thought that the other party would fight back like this.

Especially think about it.

Nicole herself has indeed been entangled in everything, and the crises she has encountered are no less than those of Ronald.

"I ...... I'm good at work! ”

"If it weren't for the nature of the investigator's work, I would definitely be an ordinary citizen who lives in peace."

Faced with Nicole's obviously hard-nosed explanation, Ronald only showed a sneer:

"Huh-"

“……”

In this way, the two of them stopped talking.

Each in a delicate and bad mood, they squeezed through the crowd for the last part of the journey, and then came to the place where the smell of blood came from.

"What is this going on......

Staring at the thing in front of her, Nicole's tone was a little strange.

In fact, the smell of blood came from a horse-shaped puppet used to decorate the show, which was barely touched because it was placed next to the cabin wall.

Therefore, the bloody breath that is not too obvious is only detected by strong people like Ronald and Nicole.

"Anyway, let's take a look."

In the face of Nicole's muttering, Ronald spoke calmly.

Since this kind of thing has happened, in short, let's figure out everything first.

The doll is not small, and the internal opening is on the back.

So the words landed, and Ronald jumped up from the feet of the horse-shaped doll and leaped up with agility.

Behind him, Nicole chased after him with the same agility.

Due to Nicole's status as an investigator, no one came to hinder the two's actions, and when they saw their other spell casters, they only thought it was a security check.

Ronald lifted the back of the horse-shaped doll.

Then, within his body, he dragged out a corpse that appeared to have no sharp wounds, but its head was sunken.

At this time, the other casters who were paying attention to this side realized what was happening.

"Someone died!"

"Whoever knows the deceased, come and see!"

Most of the people who participated in this voyage were assertive types.

So although many people were in a bad mood because of the corpse, the atmosphere in the stadium was still under control. Even in addition to the surrounding investigators who immediately took action, some spellcasters who could have not participated in this matter also took the initiative to maintain order.

"I've been an investigator for so many years, and it's the first time I've encountered such a good environment." Faced with such a situation, Nicole couldn't help but complain, and then helped Ronald transport the body to the ground, "Ronald, you look at the corpse here, I'll go and take a look inside the doll."

"No problem." Ronald nodded naturally.

In response, Nicole goes back up to top of the horse-shaped doll while Ronald begins to inspect the corpses that have been transported.

Then, Ronald furrowed an eyebrow.

Because this corpse hidden in the doll is actually the painter girl he saw on the deck!

What's going on?

Ronald pondered in silence, his hands examining the corpse without slowing down for a moment.

Soon, the results came in.

The child died about a quarter of an hour, and the fatal wound on her body was a blow to the head, and it was the only wound on her body. The faint fluctuation of mana had almost vanished, and while it could not be used to identify the killer, it at least proved that it was the magician who killed her.

"It's like it has something to do with me."

Ronald couldn't help but mutter.

If you follow the normal detective plot, then he who came into contact with the painter girl on the deck at the end is undoubtedly the biggest murderer suspect.

It's just a pity that there is magic in this world.

The usefulness of the Bengeist reasoning in this can only be in the basic logic part, and if you really want to talk about the real ability, it depends on how amazing the person's spell is!

Thinking so in his heart, a smile leaked from the corner of Ronald's mouth, and the incantation was about to be recited.

"From ...... to the other"

"What's going on!" "Are there dead people here?" "Get out of the way!"

At this moment, the investigators from the third ship rushed over.

They were supposed to be the staff in charge of order here, so it didn't take long for Ronald and Nicole to act, and the investigators also came to the scene.

The leader of them stepped forward and ordered Ronald to leave:

"Sir, please let us examine the corpse."

"Some unstable means of examination have a high probability of destroying the marks on the bodies of the victims."

Ronald, of course, was ready to explain.

It's just that he didn't bother to communicate with the investigators.

Above the horse-shaped figure, Nicole, who had quickly checked the interior, poked her head out.

With a sweep of her eyes, she immediately understood the situation, so she immediately opened her mouth to stop:

"Hey, you guys wait first!"

"This guy is an acquaintance of mine, and he is a trustworthy person of his own!"

“……”

"Miss Nicole!"

There was no one on the expedition who didn't know the red man next to Claudia, so just Nicole opened her mouth, and they immediately stopped moving.

At the same time, Ronald didn't say much.

He felt that time could not be delayed, so he continued to recite the incantation:

"Starting from the relationship between the whole earth and the sky, we will begin to form our cognitive ......"

Immediately, the effect of [Precession] is activated.

The painter girl who lost her breath of life turned back time, when the time came to exactly twenty minutes and twenty-four seconds later.

- She was resurrected.
