“……”

"First of all, can you not look at me like that."

Ronald was flustered, but on the surface he still made a reasonable appearance:

"Nicole, you don't think that this child's death has anything to do with me, do you?"

Nicole is more direct:

"Ronald, in fact, because I know that your perception spell is really very useful, I took a moment to make a spell that is a little less functional, but has both [Lie Detector] and your perception ability......"

So...... You feel like my heart is empty!

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Ronald had no choice but to pull Nicole under the horse-shaped doll:

"Nicole, come here, I'll tell you more about it."

"Oh."

“……”

Next, Ronald explained his communication with the artist girl on the deck, proving his innocence.

After figuring out Ronald's situation, Nicole also returned to the person with a rather subtle expression.

At this time, the investigator next to him came over and asked in a low voice:

"Miss Nicole, how's it going?"

Nicole rolled her eyes very directly, and then replied in a voice that everyone could hear:

"The truth is that if Ronald really wants to kill someone, he doesn't have to hide it. Or to put it another way, the casters on our three ships combined would be difficult to do anything to him on the sea. ”

“……”

Nicole's statement is more effective than any explanation.

More than eighty percent of the people present were spellcasters, and they were naturally familiar with the caster's set of rules.

So after Nicole said this, none of them continued to doubt Ronald's previous reaction.

Or rather, no one dares to doubt Ronald anymore.

"Since everyone has no opinion, then I'll continue to work."

Seeing that the crowd around her did not make any other moves, Nicole naturally continued to pick up the work she had just interrupted. So, the investigator girl turned her head to look at the girl with an uneasy expression on the side:

"In order to find your murderer, can you ask me to cast a spell on you? I promise that there is no danger and no special effects. ”

The painter girl naturally would not refuse Nicole: "Please cast a spell, I'm fine." ”

Nicole nodded slightly, then raised her right hand and touched the girl's forehead.

In this short gesture of raising her hand, she quickly drew a few runes on the palm of her hand with her thumb and middle finger, and the moment her palm touched the other party, she also completed the spell casting.

The spell was cast smoothly, and Nicole quickly nodded with satisfaction:

"Well, we're in luck."

"Although the murderer erased his traces, he still met the tracking conditions of my spell."

While Nicole casts the spell, Ronald is also watching from the side.

Compared to the people who were ignorant of the entire spell, he had already figured out the general logic of Nicole's spell by relying on his clear perception ability.

After Nicole completed the spell, there were faint fluctuations in her magic power on her palms and eyes, and the spell detected the details left by the murderer, while the corresponding results appeared directly in her field of vision.

Pretty good spell.

Ronald sighed in his heart about Nicole's talent in spellcasting.

At the same time, Nicole continued to dictate to the investigators around her:

"Alright, you continue to keep order on the scene and don't let people panic because of this. The tracking and arrest of the murderer is enough for me and Ronald. ”

The average investigator, of course, would not have had anything to say about an ace investigator:

"We see, Miss Nicole."

Next, as she began to track down the killer, Nicole dragged Ronald and walked out of the cabin. She knew she shouldn't delay any longer, and her steps seemed hurried.

The two of them went straight out, one after the other.

After leaving this particularly large cabin, we went around two more corridors and finally reached the elevator shaft reserved for the ship's staff.

"This guy can also take this elevator, and he is familiar with the structure of the ship......

Nicole whispered a sigh of emotion, and then pulled Ronald into the elevator honestly.

In normal times, she would definitely use destructive means to go straight down at this time.

But in the vast Sunken Ocean, three steamships were their only foothold, so Nicole didn't dare to take any brutal measures at this time.

The elevator descended neither fast nor slow, and during this time, Ronald took the time to ask:

"Nicole, you also researched this tracking spell yourself?"

Nicole nodded dryly:

"That's right, it's still from the rune system."

"To be honest, I think the original texts of our school are really powerful, as long as you can dive in and study it slowly, it can form almost any effect you want."

Ronald agrees:

"That's true."

While chatting about spells, Ronald and Nicole took the elevator all the way to the bottom.

Different from the cabins on the upper floors, the safety door outside the elevator door on the ground floor is specially marked with the words "Do not enter during the work of the ship".

Then, Nicole's eyes became strange:

"Is this guy really running away?"

Immediately after that, the investigator girl pushed open the security door, and then explained to Ronald in the back:

"When this guy passed from here, he specially reset the door lock, so leisurely, is he really running away?"

Ronald spread his hands and said he didn't understand either

"Who knows?"

"Dare to kill people with their hands on these three ships, I don't think anyone with a normal brain would make such an abnormal move."

The two then exited the elevator with a short passage behind them.

After opening the watertight door at the end, they continued on......

Jingle Bell - Jingle Bell -

Just then, a bell rang above Ronald and Nicole's heads.

When they looked up, they saw that it was actually the alarm bell for a watertight door. As long as this waterproof gate is not closed properly, this bell will ring all the time, reminding people to close it.

"Steamships are good."

Nicole closed the watertight door and couldn't help but sigh at the same time:

"The boat I was on before also had such a waterproof door, but there was absolutely no such reminder facility."

Ronald nodded slightly in agreement:

"In addition to the dangers and benefits brought by the advancement of technology, there are also advances in safety, and similar alarm facilities will definitely be more in the future."

Next, the two continued to move forward under the guidance of the spell.

The straight working passage is deep and dark.

In this era, electric lights had not yet spread to the working areas of steamships, so the staff here had to rely on miner's lamps or headlamps to operate normally.

Walk here.

The sound of the waves and the hull crashing, as well as the movement of the steel hull itself, gradually distorted within the slender passage. It sounds as if some terrible thing is in the dark, ready to pounce and devour people's lives......
