Chapter 712 – #142_The Witch of Gold Coins (8)
#712
One.
Tiredness, hunger, pain.
Ominous, sense of crisis, warning.
As such, negative emotions and sensations are notification devices designed for human survival.
And Linne, who has a cursed body, was able to sense threats and crises faster than anyone else.
“…….”
The sense of smell is a process in which odor particles inhaled by the olfactory mucosa convert chemical signals into electrical signals.
The point is that smells are particles after all.
These particles remain undiluted longer when adsorbed on something than when suspended in air.
Rinne immediately fell to the ground like a hound.
I close my eyes and follow the traces of the bloody smell tickling my nose.
Soon she was able to find a pool of tiny droplets of odor particles that were much denser than those floating in the air.
As expected, Shin Si-woo’s blood was scattered on this ground.
But the quantity is not much.
At most, it would be bleeding like a nosebleed.
As she crawled on the floor and wandered around a little more, Linne was able to encounter the scent of blood that stimulated her olfactory nerves again.
This time, it belongs to a completely different person, not Shin Si-woo.
It’s very likely Rosie’s.
“…… !”
Rinne’s shoulders stiffened as she clung to the floor and followed her scent.
The place is at the end of the wall.
Raising her knees, Linnaeus slowly stood up and looked at her location like a detective appraises her scene.
A swordsman with as much experience as Linnaeus could reconstruct the situation at the time by looking at how the drops of blood spread.
The result of re-examining the data extracted from the sense of smell in the brain.
You can see the bright red floor and walls.
Drops of blood spread in a radial direction, like a soft tomato thrown to the floor.
A pool of blood in its center.
The force was so intense that drops of blood splattered even high up on the walls.
It is possible to speculate that this shape was not caused by a blade, but by a blunt instrument.
“…….”
Rinne assumed that Siu’s main weapon was her spear and cupped her hand.
And she takes the shape of a downward slam.
This is it.
It is unknown whether she was conscious at that point, but Rosie would have been executed in this way by Shin Si-woo.
If you simply compare the amount of blood there, Shin Si-woo would have suffered a minor injury compared to Rosie.
“… Why.”
Linnaeus was deep in thought.
It has been said that acts of violence are prohibited in Hexsenacht.
In that case, she also conveyed that Qliphoth, who has de facto administrative authority over the city, would directly initiate sanctions.
Contrary to the gentle impressions we’ve seen so far, Shin Si-woo is not an idiot.
I know that he acts by distinguishing the outside from the inside, is capable of discerning self-interest, and secretly cheats.
The reason why he did this without a countermeasure.
Two possibilities emerge here.
However, Shin Si-woo took advantage of the sloppy surveillance network to murder Rosie and attempted to escape under Rinne.
If so, erasing the smell and disposing of Rosie’s body is an attempt to destroy evidence.
Thinking soberly, the first case was unlikely.
The rough blood spattered right up to the wall proves it.
What Rinne read from these bloodstains was two slashes engulfed in extreme passion.
However, Shin Si-woo was not the type to lose his temper due to the excitement of battle.
Rather, he has the temperament of a strategic fighter who becomes more calm and cool as the adrenaline concentration in his blood increases.
He, who maintained a clear sense of reason even when confronted with the power of the 22nd rank Linne, is more excited than necessary for Rosie, who was a relatively easy opponent?
This is hard to happen.
If the murder had been premeditated from the start, he would have done it much more calmly and neatly.
If so, the weight is tilted to the next case.
Two, due to some kind of accidental conflict, Rosie was killed, and after realizing the seriousness of the situation, she fled.
In this case, he assumed that Linnaeus would not cover up his fault and ran away.
While this is adding much more weight to persuasion.
Linnaeus felt sorry for her English mother.
He thought he had built a bond of his own.
We worked hard towards strength together every day, and even slept together.
She never felt bad for him, and even learned to cook for him.
She was even willing to give the rest of her life for him if she could escape her life as a cormorant.
However, Shin Si-woo did not trust Rinne at all.
That side caused more psychological damage than the case of his accidental murder in Hexsenacht.
Of course, this thought process was not something Linnaeus would normally do.
Linnaeus, who was the first to discover an existence that gave him a sense of stability without having to pursue only strength, was buried in extreme excitement and extreme ways of thinking.
It is in the same context that she wants to marry him and learns to cook in order to take a bridal class.
However, Linnaeus did not look at the truth that could be looked back on if he calmed down a little.
Rinne’s concentration, which has become focused on one thing, even excludes her cold inner voice.
The reason is simple.
Because Rinne’s life has always been directed towards one point.
Multitasking, doing two things at the same time, has always been an extravagant luxury for Rinne.
The blurry goal becomes clearer.
“I’ll have to find it.”
The situation was usually not serious.
Before and after doesn’t matter.
He committed a murder in Hexsenacht.
It might not have been inside the mansion, but he could have been observed stepping into Rosie’s mansion, as surveillance devices were placed everywhere outside of Hexsenacht.
Rosie is a witch with frequent outside activities, so in the next day or two, there will be people who have questions about her actions, which will suddenly become unclear.
Before that, you must find him and protect him.
If she had done the same to Linnaeus, she would at least have stood a fair trial.
There will be an opportunity to defend who attacked first, and for what reason the battle took place and the inevitable blood was spilled.
However, it has been a long time since Rinne figured out the physiology of her exploits while rolling around.
Shin Si-woo, a male witch, is a spoil that anyone can covet.
There is no way that there will be a fair trial in a country that will create crimes that did not exist to win him over.
Needless to say now that Hexsenacht has become an arena of competition between moderates and hardliners.
It is observed that an elite manpower consisting of at least tens of archwitches will be put into the search, rather than tracking them at the archwitch’s individual level.
“…….”
Linne, who had completed an additional search of the mansion in the hopes of just in case, eventually left Rosie’s mansion without finding anything, chewing on her incomprehensible awkwardness.
A hunch runs through her mind that she is missing something.
The intuition that alerts her to filtering out information she had missed and leaked unconsciously was one of Linnaeus’ sixth senses, which she trusted so much.
She reflects on the situation again.
“Weird.”
It also seems that the front and back don’t match.
If there is a reason Shin Si-woo organized the scene, it would be to slow down the tracking.
You can tell just by erasing bloodstains, cleaning up dead bodies, and using cleansing magic.
Again, cleaning magic is obviously difficult to remove all odor particles.
However, if she has reached the height of the great witch, she can fully prepare.
Do you overlook the smell particles of the place where the corpse was placed and leave it alone?
Somewhere clumsy.
Rather than a device to cover up the incident….
The feeling of wanting to show something intentionally.
Then why did Shin Si-woo implicitly leave evidence of Rosie’s murder?
No.
Is it really true to what Shin Siwoo left behind?
Linnaeus recalled the possibility that a third party might have intervened in the case.
“…….”
By the time she recalled this, Linnaeus realized she was caught up in confirmation bias.
I just want to believe that Xin Siu didn’t run away because she didn’t trust Linne.
She ignored those inner whispers.
Gather only visible evidence and list the results that can never come out if judged rationally.
-Shin Siwoo killed Rosie.
-But Shin Si-woo disappeared because he didn’t trust Rinne and ran away.
– A third party intervened and hid Shin Si-woo.
-In order to confuse the reasoning up to the above process, some fabricated evidence was left instead of complete evidence destruction.
No matter how much she trusts her intuition, this scenario is not a deduction, but a shaman’s work.
It was nothing more than foolish blind faith that betrayed rationality.
But.
Rinne will trust Shin Si-woo.
Even if it is unreasonable.
Even if it’s nothing more than a bunch of absurd delusions.
The virtue of a wise mother and wife is not just serving warm and delicious meals.
The most important thing is trust.
A wise wife should have unbounded faith in her husband, no matter how suspicious the circumstances may be.
Rinne’s wandering goal is clearly reset.
I don’t think her husband had an accident and she ran away for fear of her rebuke,
She will be determined and moving that she has fallen into a wicked scheming and seeks her helping hand.
If so, the high possibility is that moderate or hardliners are capturing his recruits.
If you were a hardliner, you don’t have to go through the troublesome procedure of secretly stealing criminals.
In the name of establishing discipline for Hexsenacht, we can execute him and at the same time draw Tiphareth’s wrath and provoke a war.
Based on this belief, the most likely side is also the moderate faction, that is, the Solidus Merchant.
Lynne moved.
Rescuing Siu, who committed a crime in Hexsenacht, is an act of turning his back on Hexsenacht itself.
However, no problem.
Even if he had to turn the entire Hexennacht into an enemy, he would save Shin Si-woo.
I only thought of that now.
