Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

"How's that stranger who calls herself a witch doing lately?"

In the meeting hall, the king asked the leader of the knights beside him.

The knight stepped forward and knelt on one knee. "Your Majesty, that man... does have some real skills."

"Oh?" The king became interested and put down his golden quill. "Tell me more about it?"

"Of course, if you want to hear it."

The knight thought for a moment and prepared to start from the beginning: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the story of the criminal Joel?"

The king snorted coldly, "A maggot who uses the name of God to spread alarmist rhetoric and harm human lives. Of course I remember him."

He changed the subject: "But I remember that Joel was arrested and imprisoned before she arrived, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Knight: "It's just that something bad happened here again."

"Joel bribed our knights and planned a prison break."

"Snapped!"

The king threw his cup and stood up: "Why have I never heard of it?"

The knight knelt on all fours, forehead touching the ground. "Joel has been recaptured. I was about to report this to you, but Her Majesty the Queen said you were busy. Now that the matter has been resolved, there's no need to burden you."

"absurd!"

The king took a deep breath, because since it involved the queen, he had to save face for her in front of the Knights.

After a long while, he calmed down: "You continue."

"The bribed knight drugged the guard knight into a sleeping state and opened the prison. Feeling his life was in danger, the guard knight fled the palace and prepared to leave his last words to his family."

"On his way home, he saw the witch's stall. Under her guidance, he captured Joel, who was hiding in the sewers. Later, we also captured the bribed knight under the witch's instructions."

"Really?" The king had already returned to his throne, tapping his index finger on the table. "It seems she does have some skills."

"In that case, isn't there an unsolved case at Carter's? You hide the information and see if that person has any clues."

"Yes! Your Majesty is wise."

The knight retreated.

……

Many of the people gathered at the stalls had already dispersed. The knight's publicity was merely a temporary sensation. Over time, things naturally calmed down.

Shen Jin only answered three questions every day. No one knew the criteria for her answers. After not being selected for a long time, she left without much interest.

Of course they had questions, but the answers weren't worth the wait, and they couldn't even get selected.

Shen Jin hadn't answered all three questions today. Mainly, they had no desire to answer them. They were more likely joining in the fun, wanting to verify whether she was as accurate as the legend said.

Just like: "What did you have for breakfast today?" "How old am I?" These are extremely boring questions.

But today, before closing her stall, she grabbed a little girl.

The child was only as tall as her waist, with blonde hair, green eyes, and fair skin that made her look particularly delicate.

"My dear child, you have been here to see me for seven days, but I have never seen you ask a question. Are you afraid?"

"I can give you an extra chance to ask questions today."

Shen Jin squatted down, his eyes level with the cub.

The blond cub looked young, but his eyes were calm, without any childish innocence.

She said, "I haven't seen you."

She stroked her chin, her brows furrowed in obvious distress.

Shen Jin was puzzled: "The world is so big, and you were only born a short time ago, how could you have met everyone?"

"It's normal that you haven't seen me."

The child pursed his lips, turned and ran away without saying a word.

"Tsk, why are all the kids I meet so mature?"

Shen Jin muttered and began to pack up the stall.

Two knights arrived just in time.

"My Lord Witch, are we late?"

Shen Jin knew this person. The leader was the captain of the Royal Guard Knights, who followed the king every day.

"Good day, Lord Hope."

Shen Jin waved his right hand, and two wooden stools appeared behind them: "Please take a seat, my lords."

Carter is a knight with red hair and red eyes, looking like a burning flame.

As soon as he sat down, he asked, "Ms. Witch, I have a question for you. I wonder if you have any quota left today."

Although Carter was anxious, he still followed the good ethics of a knight and obeyed Shen Jin's rules, just looking at Shen Jin with burning eyes.

"Nothing, you can ask two more questions today."

Shen Jin thought that the three questions she had set purely for laziness and to show off were regarded by them as restrictions of the secret technique.

"Great!"

Carter clenched his right fist, looking like he was celebrating.

"I heard about your help in capturing a fugitive, and I'm specifically asking you to help solve a cold case I have."

"This is the dossier."

Carter took out a piece of brown paper from his pocket and handed it to Shen Jin.

"It's my honor to be able to help you."

Shen Jin smiled and opened the brown paper.

The brown paper recorded a detailed investigation of the case. It was an extremely serious serial murder case.

Every month, the killer would kill a woman. Before disposing of the body, he would remove her ribs and arrange them in a heart shape, marking the scene of the next death. He would also cut off the victim's lips as a provocation and mail them to the patrol department.

Four women have been killed so far, and today marks fifteen days since they received the parts for the fourth victim.

According to the murderer's frequency and methods of committing crimes, he will start his fifth crime on the 22nd of this month, within a hundred meters of No. 176 Victoria Street.

Shen Jin closed the leather scroll. "Although the spots he chose aren't crowded, they're definitely not remote or deserted. Didn't anyone see him?"

Carter said with some frustration: "You know, with him, I often have the illusion that I'm facing a monster. He really doesn't seem like a human being. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I really can't imagine, other than magic, what else could be used to kill a person so easily and then escape our pursuit."

"Before the fourth victim appeared, we deployed 280 knights to block the marked location. However, he still killed someone right under our noses and provocatively placed the ribs on Vizier Street, just a hundred meters away from us. Yet, with so many of our knights, we didn't spot any suspicious figures."

Shen Jin didn't sense any aura of cultivation in the air. At least before this, she could be sure that there were no traces of magic here.

Then the murderer is most likely not a monster as Carter said. Shen Jin is more inclined to believe that he is an ordinary human with some special abilities or a strange encounter.

Shen Jin took out a crystal ball and said, "Mr. Carter, tell me your question and I will help you answer it."

"Sir, calm yourself down first and place your hands over the crystal ball."

Carter nodded: "It's hard work."

Take a deep breath.

He asked, "What does the murderer I've been looking for look like?"

"How do I catch him?"
