Chapter 212 'Hanabi Murder Case'

"In my opinion, this is undoubtedly a murder." Black Swan said to the woman in front of him.

"Murder... this word is too unfamiliar to us. Under the protection of the family, there will be no casualties in Pinocchio. In a dream, even if a person is beaten thousands of times with a hammer, at best he will just wake up in a real hotel." The family members shook their heads.

"You can't say that. Even if there are no casualties, the criminal intent... is obvious enough, right? You came here specifically to seal off the scene, isn't it because the nature of this case is so serious?" Sambo stood beside Black Swan and said to her.

"You're right. Even if no one is really hurt, but someone is just walking on the street and then hitting him with a hammer... This is definitely not what should happen in Pinocchio. Since you two are sent by the Oak family, you can investigate the scene. I'll be on standby." After the family members finished speaking to Sambo, they left.

"Wow, my dear sister, what method did you use to make her believe that we are "investigators" in an instant?" Sambo asked the Black Swan beside him.

"It's just some hints at the 'memory' level. If something appears in everyone's memory... then it is a 'fact'."

"Besides...if we have more time, it is not impossible to make her believe that I am Tongxie himself." Black Swan smiled.

"Then... let's talk about your 'companion'." After the Black Swan finished speaking, he looked to the side, but there was nothing there.

Suddenly, a mask appeared beside the two of them.

That's the firework...

Then the mask spoke...

"Rememberer of the Remembrance Court, I have been watching you for a long time."

"When I checked into the hotel, you were spying on me. After I came to the dream, you followed me wherever I went, in the windows of the shopping street, under the water of Aideen Park, and even in the reflection of the wine glass, everywhere!"

"Honey, do you have a crush on me? Well, since you are so interested in me, let's play a game."

"I left a puzzle for you near the Odi Shopping Center. Solve it to prove that you have the ability to please me. If you can do it...it's not impossible for us to talk."

"Don't keep me waiting too long, dear. Try to find me, catch me, and stop me before Pinocchio is turned upside down."

With a "bang", the mask disappeared.

Sambo shook his head and quickly followed the Black Swan as it walked towards the family.

"Just tell me what you want to know," said the family members.

"Who is the identity of the victim?" Black Swan asked.

"He was an employee of the Interstellar Peace Company, named Shamali. According to eyewitnesses, a tall and strong man in a wide robe with big sleeves passed by Shamali and suddenly hit him with a hammer... Shamali died on the spot and woke up from his dream. The murderer also disappeared in the blink of an eye." The family member stretched out his hand and described the incident. The action was very exaggerated.

"Oh, I knew it was Hanabi who did it. What she is best at is changing into the appearance of other people." Sambo said with a sigh, holding his head.

"Thank you, I don't have any other questions." Black Swan said to the family members.

"You're welcome. If you want to know anything else, just ask."

"Where is Mr. Shamari now? I want to meet him." Black Swan asked to meet the victim.

"I'm afraid that's not possible. The Oak family came forward to calm him down. Mr. Shamali expressed his understanding of the incredible dream and went to another dream to continue his vacation. It's better not to disturb him... The guests' experience always comes first."

"When we find him, I'm afraid half of Pinocchio will be sent back to reality by Hanabi..." Sambo sighed again.

"It looks like we have to play this game with Miss Hanabi." said Black Swan.

Then... the black swan walked up to the two little guys...

"Lord Black Swan, we have finally waited for you! I am the chief constable here, and the one next to me is the detective who assists me in solving cases." The chief constable said to the Black Swan who was walking towards him.

"Hey, Uncle Hantui, why did you betray me?" The constable on the side looked at Sangbo.

"Oh? They actually spoke! Miss Black Swan, they really are coming for you!" Sambo said to the Black Swan.

"Stop interrupting! Do you have the right to speak?" The captain pointed at Sangbo, "Ahem... I heard that Lord Black Swan is very intelligent. I think he can solve the truth of the "Mr. Hanabi's murder case"!"

"The murder of Hanabi-sama? Isn't the victim Shamari from the Interstellar Peace Company?" Black Swan asked in confusion.

"..You are wrong, Lord Black Swan. The victim is clearly the head of the Kintsuchi family, Lord Kintsuchi Hanabi!" the captain hurriedly explained.

"Oh, it seems that this is a small theater directed and performed by Miss Hanabi herself, and it has nothing to do with the actual case. Is "Golden Hammer" her last name?" Black Swan turned his head and looked at Sambo, trying to find an answer.

"I haven't heard of it either. I guess I just made it up. I don't think "Fireworks" is a real name." Sangbo spread his hands and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand either.

"Today was supposed to be the day when Lady Hanabi was to meet her three warriors at the Kintsuchi Mansion, but when the warriors walked into the mansion, what they saw was 'Lady Hanabi's corpse.'" the captain explained.

"Hanabi-sama's head was smashed open by a hammer, and he died on the spot... What a cruel atrocity! And according to my investigation, the day before the incident, the three warriors were supposed to escort a batch of goods back to the territory, but they were attacked by the bandit Annihilation Gang on the way."

"The three of them narrowly escaped death and finally managed to save their lives, but the goods were robbed and there was not much left. So each of them had a motive to kill Lady Hanabi in order to escape responsibility!" said the captain.

"So it seems that the three warriors worked together to commit the crime?" Black Swan said tentatively.

As soon as Black Swan's words came out, the captain of the police and the constables fell silent instantly.

"Is this case closed?" Sambo's eyes widened.

"No...that's not right. There can only be one murderer! If three people are the murderer, it's not a mystery...wait...wait..." the captain shook his head.

"Forehead.."

Sambo looked at its hesitant expression and said, "If it really can't be solved, forget it..."

"No!"

"Got it! The relationship between the three of them was extremely tense as they were competing for the second-in-command position. It was impossible for them to cooperate! So one of them must have committed the crime alone!" The captain explained hurriedly.

"It doesn't really make sense. Even if these three people don't have a good relationship, but..."

Before Sambo could finish his words, he was interrupted by it.

"Please start the investigation, Lord Black Swan! There are many clues left at the crime scene, which will definitely help you identify the real culprit!"
