"Oh, I made it with a pattern that I happened to see, but I did not leave my head and carved it on my ring. It was something that could be sucked in. It was a work that made only three. I didn't mean, but take this as a thank you. "

So she was talking. The main thing was that I saw it by accident. If you saw it by accident, where and what did you see it by accident? Speaking of which, this pattern was engraved on the belt of the masked duo. Maybe Matsune and his boyfriend have witnessed a scene that should not be watched.

At that time, if the pattern on the waist of the criminals was remembered and turned into a ring? What if the culprit who noticed that there was a witness followed Matsune? What if you notice a ring engraved with a pattern that is relevant to you?

Of course, would you like to kill Matsune and recover the ring engraved with the pattern? I thought so far and talked to Hikami.

"Mr. Hikami, is there anybody killed near the sea in the uncle murder case?"

"Yeah. The last victim was killed at the beach."

"I see. Just look at this."

I showed Hikami a photo of Matsune and her boyfriend again. Hikami looked into my cell phone again.

"Oh! The sea? And this building ... I think it's probably the same site."

Mr. Hikami seemed surprised and began to examine the photographs. So I was convinced.

"I guess ... they were killed because they were witnesses to the incident. I don't seem to have seen the murder directly, but I would have reported it, but the pattern I saw at that time would not leave my head As a result, Matsune carved the ring, and the culprits learned of the existence of the ring in the process of killing the witnesses, Matsune and her boyfriend. What if you're in a hurry to recover? "

Hikami nodded at my story. He was satisfied.

"Yes, maybe! It's a very likely story."

And stroke my head again. It was already completely habit.

"But where should we find their whereabouts ..."

As I said with a sigh, Mr. Hikami thought whether he had the same idea and released his hand from my head and thought while touching his chin. I decided to look around a little more and got up from my seat. At that time, damn, I hit my feet on the table.

-Wow!

The moment he complained in his heart, Mr. Hikami suddenly glared at the table. I tried to talk to him, but when I gently dismissed me, she approached the table and knelt. And I removed something from the inside of the table.

"Hikami-san."

Great observation power. Did you just look inside the exposed table for the moment I hit the table? Well, I've heard that kendo players have extraordinary observation power. Anyway, what he removed was something like a little black plastic.

"Mr. Hikami, what is it?"

In response to my question, Mr. Hikami pulled out the sword that was standing by the bathroom in silence and split it into two pieces. Then he looked inside and answered.

"Eavesdropping."

The word "Eavesdropper" suddenly looked good. So you've heard all our stories. We didn't know the enemy and we didn't know the purpose of the murder, but they knew us very well. You may have also noticed that I and Mr. Hikami knew about the pattern. And again to where the other rings are.

"Can you draw a little bit of the pattern anyway? Everything may need to be examined, and we'll come out of here. I have a bad feeling."

"all right…."

I replied, but I didn't have the talent to paint. If you have no talent, it is an item. Some of the items I purchased this time seemed to be usable. I immediately moved to [Items].

Touch [Pencil] and a window will appear.

[Do you use a pencil? ]

Touched the window.

[Imagine a scene that reappears in your head. ]

The following message appeared. I thought of a pattern in my head. I wondered if I could imagine the ring, but I remembered that the picture of the pattern that Matsune had broken through the notebook was drawn in more detail, and came to mind. Then the following message appears again.

[You have been transferred to your mobile phone. ]

Immediately after touching the message, I checked my mobile phone. When I opened the gallery, a photo file with a picture with the pattern was created.

"Mr. Hikami! You don't need to draw. Speaking of which, I had taken a pattern."

He added a lie casually and handed a mobile phone to Mr. Hikami and showed the picture with the pattern drawn.

"Hmmm. I've never seen this ..."

"Is that so, even from the victim of the uncle murder?"

"Yeah, there was no file associated with such a pattern. I will investigate it anyway. Could this be transferred to my mobile phone?"

"Yup."

I transferred the file to her as soon as I said. And we got out of that room once.

"Let's take a look at this and contact you soon."

"Okay, Mr. Hikami"

Hikami, who returned home in a hurry, saw me off for the time being. I found out the motives and tricks that managed to kill Matsune. Maybe I read [state], but it was not mission clear. Does it mean you have to catch the criminal or reveal the secret of the pattern? Certainly what their purpose was, why they killed the uncles, and why they were so attached to the pattern were all labyrinths.

In addition, I always had a bad feeling. That's been the case since we knew the fact that our conversation was eavesdropped.

[Do you use an intangible sword? ]

I wore an intangible sword and looked around the apartment. They seemed more likely to be nearby without escaping, but there were no traces around. Rather, the city at night is very quiet. It seemed to be sucked into the darkness that had fallen on all sides. I was horrified. Regardless of Mr. Hikami, he feels quite anxious by himself. Apparently, it is better to retreat here.

Anyway, it seems better to wait for Mr. Hikami to finish the investigation. I thought so far and soon went out to the street and picked up a taxi. Tell the driver your destination and the taxi leaves immediately.

But then the taxi suddenly stopped. I looked suspiciously and saw the driver, and suddenly the taxi door opened and my handkerchief suddenly approached my nose. I tried to load [Road], but I couldn't move my hand because I was stunned in a blink of an eye. Then he fainted.

The weak point of Intangible Sword is that it cannot respond to surprise attacks. To such surprise.
