My destiny is to go to work in a world that is collapsing

Although Ai Yin and Tesla were reminiscing with Irene, their eyes never left Hua Yi.

They saw Hua Yi's conversations with Kong, Raven and Jackal successively, and also saw Fu Hua, Hua Yi's companion, suddenly leave each other's side for unknown reasons. It seemed that he was familiar with the environment, but in fact it was more like In a state of being overwhelmed, I found something to do for myself.

"Jiwotou, why do I always feel like this guy doesn't look like a qualified detective?"

"Qualification does not depend on his current words and deeds, but on the final result. What, you want to find another detective?"

"Another search... forget it, at least this guy is calm and did not choose to run away after understanding the situation. The Fu Hua next to him also has the strength to fight against the Honkai Beast. I don't think I will find a better one if I search elsewhere. Candidate."

While speaking, Hua Yi had returned to Ai Yin and Tesla.

"Isn't Bronya here yet?"

"Calculating the time, they had almost arrived at the station. With Cocolia's ability, even if the isolation device malfunctioned, they would not be in any danger. But just in case, I'll pick them up."

Tesla showed extremely high efficiency in action. After finishing speaking, he left the hall without waiting for Ai Yin and Hua Yi to respond.

Hua Yi was not worried about this.

He had already cleared the number of Quantum Shadows in the deserted city. The whole journey from the station to this mansion, which is more like a manor than a research institute, was extremely safe.

And Ai Yin seemed to have confidence in Tesla and did not stop him from leaving.

Even though it sounded like Scientists who do not have enough combat power should also have some self-defense tools.

"Let's go to the second floor first. Most of the furnishings in the room where Nancy was attacked have been kept as they are. I think you might be able to get some clues."

The internal facilities of this manor are consistent with its luxurious appearance. Although the floor height is not too exaggerated, there is still an elevator.

Take the elevator to the second floor and walk on the wide corridor that can accommodate a dozen people side by side. The third room on the right is where Ai Yin said the crime occurred. An elegant but not luxurious room, consistent with the style of the manor hall.

The large bookcases from the floor to the ceiling are neatly filled with books, and the walls next to it are neatly filled with books. The decorations on the room were oil paintings that were painted by famous artists at first glance, exuding a literary atmosphere.

However, the pool of blood on the ground, which had turned black and red, destroyed the originally peaceful atmosphere in the room.

Hua Yi looked at the blood on the ground for a moment

"It seemed that Miss Nancy was seriously injured."

This is the place where Nancy was attacked. The owner of the blood stains is self-evident.

"Well, otherwise I wouldn’t describe her condition as seriously injured or near death. If it weren’t for the advanced medical equipment in the institute, Nancy would probably have died."

"It sounds like she's getting better now?"

"Indeed, but I can't take you to see her immediately. Please prove your investigative abilities first."

After a slight pause, Ai Yin took the initiative to ask as if she was offering help.

"Do you need me to describe the situation when the crime occurred?"

"Since it is an assessment of proving ability, I will try my best to restore the situation at that time using my own judgment."

Hua Yi began to search the room.

The blood stains were located near the desk. It can be imagined that Nancy was working or reading.

The delicate handwriting on the documents spread out on the desk also confirmed this guess.

There was one This manuscript is a little special. Most of it is research-related sketches and calculations, but there is text written in the corner. It is not an explanatory note on the research, but it seems to be written casually during a break.

"The strange state lasted for a month, and I thought it could no longer be explained by mental fatigue. The psychiatrist couldn't explain it, and the physical examination was normal. Then - why do I keep having the same dream, why do I always see that girl?"

Scanning the text on the manuscript, Hua Yi continued to look at the room.

The window was the only exit other than the door to the outside. On the windowsill, there was a bright shoe print with a little mud, staining the carefully polished wood. If you judge based on this, you can easily conclude that the attacker came in through the window and escaped through the window.

However, such an obvious flaw is really not consistent with a person who can successfully attack an upper-class person like Nancy. The identity of the killer is suspected of being deliberately induced.

Ai Yin has also given hints——""Most of the furnishings should be kept as they are." It means most, not all.

In other words, in addition to being the killer's inducement, this trace may also be a test of Ai Yin or Tesla.

As for the method of exploring the truth, Just found the pair of boots.

Judging from the size of the footprints, they were a pair of leather boots of considerable size. If they were hidden in the room... Hua Yi's eyes quickly fixed on the fireplace in the corner of the room. Sure enough, a pair of long boots were hidden in the room.

Hiding inside the fireplace, he picked up his boots and turned them over. They were exactly the same as the shoe prints on the window sill.

Hua Yi looked at Ai Yin with a smile.

"Have I passed the test?"

"Yes. Please forgive me, but despite my best efforts to dissuade you, Dr. Tesla still wants to test your abilities."

Considering that Dr. Tesla has already gone to pick up Bronya, Aiyin's words are suspected of shirking responsibility.

However, this is not important.

Aiyin also discovered that Hua Yi did not mean to continue to be entangled, and simply explained What I saw

"Two nights ago, Dr. Tesla and I came back from the laboratory. Because we had work to report to Nancy, we went to her room together. After arriving at the door, we knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside."

"Because Nancy is working hard?"

"Unlikely, I can guarantee that her concentration is not that exaggerated. Moreover, we knocked many times at that time, and Dr. Tesla even scolded her a few times."

Even if their memories are sealed in the world bubble, the way Tesla and Nancy get along is still the same as Hua Yi knows.

"Interesting superior-subordinate relationship."

Ai Yin responded with a melancholy smile to Hua Yi's words.

"At that time, we thought Nancy was having a secret phone call or some work content that we could not understand, so we planned to come back later. Unexpectedly, as soon as we turned around, we heard a strange noise coming from her room."
