Chapter 73 "Murderer"
went back to the Security Bureau, and Fehling and Ivy successfully borrowed the doom drawing board.
"Eye of Appraisal!"
Although Fehling felt that his six-ringed eye of appraisal was enough to weaken the side effects of the Doom Artboard to a very low level, he still used the Eye of Appraisal on the Doom Artboard to check the side effects after the weakening.
Type: Cursed
Name: Doom Sketchpad
Grade: Type I
Extraordinary Ability: Put a white paper on the drawing board, and touch the drawing board with the object that the target has touched as a guide. The white paper will show hints and clues about the target to be searched for.
Side Effects: After using it, the user will experience bad luck for the next 12 hours, with a high probability of being injured, and a small probability of being seriously injured.
Post-weakening side effects: After use, the user will experience bad luck for the next two hours, with a minor degree of bad luck and no risk of injury.
"Minor doom, no risk of injury."
Seeing the side effects of the weakening, Fehling felt relieved.
Compared with the original side effects, it has been greatly weakened and is within his acceptable range.
Carrying the doom board, Fehling and Ivy came to the morgue.
lifted the black cloth covering the doom drawing board, clipped a piece of white paper on the drawing board, and Fehling touched the middle-aged man's body with the doom drawing board.
As the doom drawing board came into contact with the middle-aged man's body, a large amount of paint appeared on the white paper, mixed with each other, and wriggled on the white paper.
Like thousands of worms of various colors crawling on the white paper, the graffiti originally like a child gradually became clear.
Finally, a clear pattern appears on the white paper.
In the ?? pattern, there is a strange-looking ceramic doll.
The ceramic doll stands on two legs, and the body is painted with red oil paint with red clothes and pants, as if wearing blood-stained clothes and pants.
In the abdominal position, there is not flesh, but an exposed large intestine.
It was like being tortured, the flesh and blood of the abdomen was cut off completely, and the person watching was chilled.
On the face of the ceramic doll, there is not pain, but a smile.
It's just this smile, which is extraordinarily weird in his eyes, it's a cold, scalp-tingling smile.
"A ceramic doll?"
Fehling looked at the portrait, and Ivy also leaned forward to look at the portrait.
When I saw a ceramic doll appeared on the portrait, I couldn't help but look a little surprised.
What they are looking for is a "murderer", and can a ceramic doll kill someone?
But soon, the two had guesses.
"It's a cursed thing, this ceramic doll should be a cursed thing, someone should use this cursed thing to kill people!"
Fehling guessed.
The ceramic doll on the white paper should be a cursed object, and the reason why it became a "murderer" is because someone killed someone with this cursed object.
Because the murder was done with the help of a curse, the middle-aged man's body had the aura of the curse, and the image of the curse appeared on the white paper.
"This cursed thing is likely to be able to kill from a distance!"
Ivy said.
Many of the people who were killed were killed under the watchful eyes of many people, so the cursed thing is likely to be able to kill from a distance.
"And this person is most likely an ordinary person!"
Ivy continued.
If it is a person with extraordinary ability, unless he has the eye of appraisal like Fei Lin, and can weaken the side effects of the cursed object, otherwise, he will never use the cursed object easily.
Only ordinary people who lack the "means of killing" will use the cursed object to kill people after they have obtained the cursed object.
This ordinary person probably doesn’t even know that there is a price to pay for using cursed objects.
"Unfortunately, there is nothing else on the portrait except the ceramic doll, so there is no way to know more about this person."
Felin said with some regret.
I don’t know if it’s because the “murderer” this time is a cursed object. Except for the ceramic dolls that are suspected to be cursed objects, there is nothing else on the portrait, so no more information can be obtained.
"There are indeed few clues, but since it is an ordinary person who kills, there is a possibility of a vendetta. We can use this as a clue to investigate."
Ivy pondered for a while, then expressed her speculation.
"I can only try to investigate from this direction."
Flynn said.
Immediately, the two left the morgue and went to the Office of the Minister of Security to find Jumana.
"The investigation records of those people? Please wait."
Hearing Fei Lin and Ivy's needs, Zhu Mana immediately placed a bookshelf of investigation records from the side of the office, took out the investigation records of the people who died accidentally, and handed them over to Fei Lin and Ivy.
Felin and Ivy took it, sat down on the sofa next to them, and began to look through the investigation records one by one.
From a week ago to now, there have been seven people who died unexpectedly. These people include employees of trading companies, landlords who collect rent, and shop owners…
The occupation is completely different, and the residence is completely different. If it is not an accidental death, it is difficult to connect these people together.
More than an hour later, Fehling and Ivy read all the investigation records.
"There is no record of the dead having revenge!"
Both of them couldn't help frowning. In the investigation records, there was no record of the deceased being enmity with others.
"Initially, the investigation was conducted according to accidental death. The investigating police officer may not have asked relevant questions. I think the security department can re-inquire about the investigation. The key point is who the deceased had a grudge against."
Flynn said.
"It is indeed possible."
Ivy nodded.
The two looked at Jumana who was sitting at the desk and shouted.
"Minister Jumana."
"Miss Ivy, Mr. Flynn, what's the matter?"
Jumana, who was working on the document, put down her pen, looked up and asked the two of them.
"We suspect that the deaths of these seven people are related to vendettas, but none of the seven investigation records show that the deceased had vendettas."
"I also ask you to re-send police officers to investigate and inquire about people close to the deceased, focusing on who the deceased had a grudge against."
Flynn said.
He and Ivy are only two people. It would be too time-consuming to investigate and investigate one by one, so entrusting the police officers of the security department is the best way.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to investigate and inquire."
Jumana nodded.
"When will the survey results be available?"
Ivy asked.
"In about a day or so, new investigation records should be available tomorrow."
Jumana said with an estimate.
"Then we'll come back tomorrow."
Fehling and Ivy got up and said goodbye.
Leaving Jumana's office, the two walked out of the security department.
At the entrance of the security department, the carriage they were riding in was parked on the side of the road, and the two walked towards the carriage.
A bird chirped in the sky, and there were often birds flying by in the city. Ferrin and Ivy didn't care, and didn't feel the danger, so they continued to walk towards the carriage.
Suddenly, a mass of objects fell from the sky, and it happened to land on Fei Lin's head.
Feeling something different in his head, Fei Lin reached out and touched his head, and suddenly he felt something sticky.
had a bad premonition in his heart, he hurriedly looked at his hand, his face suddenly ugly.
I saw a white-gray sticky substance on his hands, and a stench was entering his nose.
“…”
Seeing Fei Lin suddenly stop, Ivy turned to look at Fei Lin, and immediately saw the white sticky things on Fei Lin's head and hands.
She naturally understood that this was the influence of the bad luck of the bad luck drawing board, and she held back a smile on her face, so she could not laugh out loud.

Chapter 74 Side Effects
went back to the security department, and Fei Lin took a shower in the security department before leaving the security department.
Leaving the security department, he looked overhead for the first time, and after confirming that there were no birds around, he walked to the carriage parked on the street.
Until he got into the carriage, no bad luck came.
In the ?? carriage, Ivy has been waiting for a long time.
"Sorry for making you wait so long. You can go first. I'll take a taxi and go back by myself."
Fei Lin Wang said apologetically to Ivy.
"It's okay, there's nothing urgent anyway."
Ivy shook her head.
The ?? carriage moved, carrying the two back to the Security Bureau, and until he returned to the Security Bureau, Fehling did not encounter bad luck again.
After nerfing the Eye of Appraisal with Six Rings, the duration of Doom has been reduced to two hours.
Two hours have passed, and he should have successfully passed the doom time.
Compared to the last time using the Doom Sketchpad, the bad luck encountered this time, like the introduction of the side effects after the nerf, is indeed "a minor bad luck, and there is no risk of injury".
The ?? time has passed noon and lunch time has passed. Fortunately, the restaurant is always available from morning to afternoon after get off work, and you can go to eat at any time.
Felin and Ivy went back to the 201 lounge after having lunch.
The result of the investigation will be tomorrow, so the rest of the time will be at their discretion.
When Fei Lin took out the secret technique of the third ring of the mysterious spear and advanced to the fourth ring, I read it, and Ivy also took out a book and read it.
…
On the street, a man walked aimlessly.
The clothes and pants on him are of good workmanship. It can be seen that his economic conditions are not bad.
About forty years old, with brown, slanted combed hair and a high hairline, revealing a large bald forehead.
His eyes were full of bloodshots, and the bloodshots were crawling on his eyes like worms, as if he had not slept for several days and nights.
He walked aimlessly, looking around.
Pong!
He collided with something.
He looked up and suddenly realized that he had just run into a man.
"Why don't you look at the road?"
It was a young man who collided with him. He rubbed the place where he was hit, and was very dissatisfied.
“…”
The ?? brown-haired man did not answer, but looked at the young man fiercely with bloodshot eyes.
Being stared at by the brown-haired man with bloodshot eyes, the young man seemed to be stared at by a wild beast. He was startled and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Feeling that the brown-haired man's spirit seems to have a problem, he dare not talk to the brown-haired man any more, the young man hurriedly walked away.
The brown-haired man looked at the young man with murderous intent in his eyes.
He put his hands in his pockets and took out a ceramic doll from the pocket, and this ceramic doll was the same ceramic doll that appeared on the painting of Doom.
He held a ceramic doll in his hand, stared at the leaving young man, and said in a cold voice.
"Damn it!"
Pong!
In the house next to the street, a piece of tile fell off the roof and fell from the air, just hitting the young man on the head.
The young man fell to the ground with blood flowing from his head.
Pedestrians on the surrounding streets hurriedly stepped forward to check and asked how the young man was doing and whether they should take him to the hospital.
The voices of these inquiries gradually became blurred in the ears of the young man and became inaudible.
The young man's consciousness gradually fell into darkness.
"Ha ha."
Staring at the young man who fell to the ground, the brown man put the ceramic doll back into his pocket, smiled nervously, and continued to walk forward.
's eyes are still looking around, looking at his eyes carefully, he is clearly looking at pedestrians one after another on the street.
had murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was looking for prey.
…
The next morning, Fehling and Ivy came to the security department.
"Anyone else died in an accident?"
As soon as they saw Zhu Mana, the two learned from Zhu Mana that another person died in an accident, and both of them couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Since the first time he used the cursed object to kill people, the murderer has not stopped. If the murderer is not found as soon as possible, I am afraid that people will continue to be killed.
After a moment of silence, Fehling asked.
"Minister Jumana, how is the investigation going on whether the deceased had a grudge against someone?"
"It has been investigated and the records are all here."
Jumana handed Flynn a stack of overlapping investigation transcripts.
Felin reached out and took it, handed half of it to Ivy, and kept half of it, sat on the sofa and looked at it.
The first person who died unexpectedly was working in a trading company. Before he was killed, he had just been promoted to the company's logistics director. He had a grudge against him. To be precise, there were three people who hated him.
These three people also have the opportunity to be promoted to the company's logistics director, but the company finally chose the former.
The second person who died unexpectedly was a rent-collecting landlord, an old lady, who owned a two-story rental apartment.
Before ?? was killed, he had just collected the rent.
The old lady is very dissatisfied with the tenant because of the frequent rent increases, and the tenant may hold a grudge against her.
The third person who died unexpectedly was the owner of a shop. According to the questioning of relatives, the owner did not have a grudge against anyone.
The fourth person who died unexpectedly was a young man about to get married, who was hit in the head by a flower pot that fell from a house next to the street.
According to the investigation, the owner of the house and the young man did not know each other, and when the young man was smashed, there was no one in the house.
In addition, the young man's fiancée has always had a suitor, and the suitor is very likely to have hatred for the young man.
…
There were eight young men who had just died not long ago. After reading the investigation records of the eight people, Fei Lin and Ivy were both lost in thought.
After a while, Ivy said.
"Vendetta is unlikely."
Among these eight people, the first, the second, and the fourth have hatred against others, and the other five have no hatred against others.
Even if there is a possibility of "having hatred against others but the people around them don't know it", it is impossible for all five of them to be like this.
Based on this speculation, vendetta may not be big.
"That is to say, the murderer may be a random murder. If it is a random murder, then it will be very difficult to find the murderer."
Felin frowned.
If the murderer really kills at random, then there is a high possibility that the murderer does not know the person who was killed.
It is very likely that a chance encounter on the road made the murderer stare at the deceased and secretly kill the deceased.
Suddenly, a question arose in his mind, so he asked.
"What are the side effects of this cursed thing? After using it eight times in a row, it stands to reason that the murderer, as an ordinary person, should have had serious side effects."
"It is obvious that serious side effects have already occurred, so why continue to use it and make the side effects continue to worsen?"
Hearing Fei Lin's words, Ivy's face changed and said.
"The urge to kill, the side effect is likely to be the urge to kill!"
"The urge to kill?"
Fehling looked at Ivy.
"A book I once read mentioned that the side effect of having a cursed object is the urge to kill. As long as you use this cursed object to kill people, you will be infected with the unstoppable urge to kill."
Ivy explained.
