"Kanoin, take us to see the body of the deceased and the information about the clown on the cruise ship." After reading all the relevant files, Kujo Sara frowned and said to Kanoin Heizo.

The young detective nodded and led the three people to the morgue through twists and turns. The extremely low temperature could make anyone who came in shiver instantly. Fortunately, several of them were the owners of the Eye of God, otherwise they would have to put on more clothes.

Several bodies covered with white cloth were placed in the middle of the morgue. Lisa lifted the cloth and the tragic appearance of the bodies appeared before her eyes.

The strange pattern, the tragic way of death, and the cut corner of the mouth, everything looked so weird that Qin couldn't help but hold her breathing for a moment, and her expression became much more solemn.

"An extremely despicable imitator. He probably learned about the clown's deeds from somewhere, or - it was simply the madness left behind by the clown before he disappeared."

"Although it looks very tragic, the force on the knife wound is relatively small, and it looks like the wound was cut multiple times. The criminal is a woman. And looking at the marks on the knife wound... the criminal is left-handed."

After watching for a while, Kujo Sara said, "And she was able to hang an adult male up, if there were no tools to help her, then this female criminal must have an accomplice, a male who is very strong and mentally mature."

"And he has been in contact with the Joker for a long time. He has been brainwashed or assimilated."

Shikanoin Heizo smiled and said, "That's great. It took me a lot of effort to make the police officers aware of this information. But I have already obtained the list of people who will be on board."

"In addition to those with names and surnames, there are two special cases, Kawaishi Ami and her father, Kawaishi Shinichi."

"Is there anything special about these two?" Qin looked at Shikanoin Heizo.

The young man nodded. "These two were originally from a low- to middle-class family in the financial circle, but they quickly became a big chaebol three months ago and got tickets to the cruise. When they boarded the cruise, they also brought another person with them, a servant who came to their house three months ago. After their death, the servant disappeared."

"You mean - this father and daughter who have been confirmed dead are the culprits of these cases?" Kujo Sara keenly sensed what Shikanoin Heizo meant, and she nodded, "Indeed, we must find the person alive or the body dead. Before we are sure that they are completely dead, we cannot rule out anyone as a suspect."

"So, how do we find the two dead people?" Qin lowered her head in thought, but Lisa smiled: "Qin, sometimes we don't need to be too rigid in our methods. We can use our brains occasionally, right?"

"Little brain? You mean..."

"You want to lure the criminal out yourself? Many people in the police station have used similar methods, and no one has succeeded." Shikanoin Heizo shrugged and gave them a shot of prevention.

"I guess no remaining demon god can resist the temptation of the Eye of God." Lisa pursed her lips and smiled.

"Demon remnants? Are you sure?" Qin suddenly turned her head and asked.

"I don't believe that someone can change another person's mental state in just three months. This clown must have used some special means." Lisa thought, "However, since he can detect the existence of the demon's remnants, it seems that this clown is not just a criminal."

"Okay, then the job of luring them out is up to you, Lisa. We'll provide support from the dark."

"Okay, I'll leave my back to you guys, keep up the good work."

***

The streets were empty at night. A drunk woman walked out of the pub, staggering with a briefcase in her hand. There was a blush on her pretty face. She muttered to herself about the unfair treatment from the company and her superiors. Apart from her appearance, she was no different from an ordinary office worker.

Just as she was passing through a dark alley without any lights, the woman was suddenly grabbed by the neck by a pair of hands and dragged inside.

The three people who had been hiding not far away looked at each other and turned on the intercom, which was connected to the bug installed on Lisa.

A hoarse female voice came over the intercom: "Dad, she's so beautiful."

"Baby, you think she's beautiful? Then let's just scratch her skin this time. But baby, her face still has to be made up to look like before."

"Why are they so beautiful while I have to be disfigured? Now I can't even look at those little brothers with white hair!" The girl's voice was full of anger, and the man tried his best to comfort his daughter.

"When the Lord appears again, we can offer him the whole world, and he will definitely allow you to restore your appearance. That is our crazy, great king."

From the crazy words and the worshipful tone, anyone can tell that this man is madly worshipping that adult.

"Yes, Dad, you are right. The king will give us everything, including my looks, as long as we make this city a new crime capital!"

【Private chat】

[Shikanoin Heizo: I don’t sense the aura of the demon’s remnants from them]

[Kujo Sara: That means that the clown simply relied on his madness to infect two people, or more.]

【Qin: So should we take action now? 】

【Lisa: Wait, you don’t have to come over. Their faces——】

Lisa opened her eyes and pretended that she had just woken up from a coma. She looked at the two faces that were particularly eye-catching in the dark, her eyes slightly widened, and she was a little surprised.

The makeup and smiles were the same as the corpses seen in the morgue, the only difference was that the clown makeup on the corpses' faces was painted on, while their makeup seemed to have grown together with their faces and had completely become a part of them. Upon closer inspection, there were signs of burns on their faces.

Exploded, disfigured, and then painted himself into clown makeup.

"Are you the clowns of this period?" Ami Kawaishi looked at Lisa in surprise, totally unable to understand why this office worker woman was not afraid of them.

"Why are you asking this? You're already dying." Kawaishi Ami tilted her head and said, while her father stood behind her like a quiet and silent guardian.

"I heard that your crimes are illogical. Why did you choose me? I'm just a social animal."

"Oh my god, girl, don't you know how beautiful you are?" Kawaishi Ami let out a weird cry, "Do you know how much I want to rip off your skin and put it on myself? But I have to respect the king, and I'm not a clown. We are just insignificant pawns of Mr. Clown."
