Record of a Thousand Lives

“What the hell is he talking about? ”

The investigator who was nominated by Kang Yun-su opened his eyes wide.

Originally a killer's name, it could only be in a novel, but sometimes in reality.

But only investigators who have been investigating the crime scene for days.

“What, this guy? ”

Investigate the crime scene, combine facts and testimony to identify the perpetrator.

This is the basis of the investigation.

However, Kang Yoon-soo broke the formula of a consistent investigation.

“LeFarr Iraqi. ”

The investigator flinches in front of you.

“I wonder where you got my name. ”

“You were the motive of the murdered Gepher Sirent. But I was always jealous of him before myself. So I planned this case to kill Geffer. ”

Lefar smiles.

“Sir, are you going to keep looking at this guy? He's a criminal impersonating a Class 0 investigator! ”

The other investigators were also petty.

But Cheryl folds her arms and commands.

“Nobody touch this man. That's an order."

Cheryl did the jaw thing.

Kang Yoon-soo continued speaking.

“You've been acting like this to kill Gepher. I also joined the mission because I was an investigator of the same class. So you magically killed him. ”

“Magic! What a simple explanation. What are some cases that can't be explained by magic? ”

LeFarr grumbles.

Kang Yoon-soo pointed to Geffer's corpse.

“Gepher suddenly collapses on his horse. There is a stab wound, but no one has actually witnessed the stabbing. That's because you used magic. ”

“Where's the evidence that I used magic? ”

Magic was the most troubling factor in the investigation.

Normally, the suspicion of using magic began with a staff.

With the exception of some Desert Elves and some Great Wizards who were born with their bare hands, they definitely needed a staff to use magic.

“Are you going to do a body search? You can take off your pants if you want. Find me a cane! ”

Lefar sighs.

Kang Yoon-soo shook his head.

“You have no wand now. But you certainly used magic. ”

“I used magic without a cane? You think I'm the Grand Wizard? ”

“Because you used the Root Salt Staff to do it. ”

Immediately, the investigators were distracted.

A Salt Root Staff is a staff made by collecting the roots of a Salt Tree that only grows on the continent.

The raw materials were small and consumed less by magic, so wizard-aspiring students carried them around mostly.

“Surely if you used the Salt Root Staff, the evidence would have been destroyed by melting into the rain. Small size makes it easy to hide in your arms. ”

“What do you mean! ”

Cheryl's words were reversed by LeFar.

“You can't use a Salt Root Staff to kill a person. Aren't wizard-aspiring beginner magic the best you can do? ”

That was true.

At best, it was all about making ice sculptures and flame crystals.

Kang Yoon-soo continued speaking randomly.

“You killed Gepher with a salt root staff. Spells used are 'Invisible Sphere’. Mana creates a transparent spear that pierces Geffer's side. ”

“Like a traveler, you have no knowledge of the continent at all. You can't use that much magic with a Root Salt Staff! ”

“Definitely not enough. With a cane. ”

Kang Yoon-soo said.

The investigators' eyes began to change gradually.

“There are two Root Salt Staffs you used. ”

At that moment, Lefar's lips softened.

It was very difficult to handle, but it was possible to use two canes.

Increases the amount and rank of spells you can handle.

“But what's the evidence? Your words are merely speculations. If Leppar killed Gepher with the Root Salt Staff like you said, then we need proof of that. ”

Cheryl nods.

“The evidence remains on Gepher's body. The scar on your side is the key to solving the case. ”

Kang Yoon-soo said without looking at the body.

LeFar looks ridiculous.

“You've never seen a body. But how do you know that? ”

“Check it out.”

Cheryl looks up.

An investigator removes the muffler wrapped around the body.

A sharp stab wound is wet in the rain.

“Stick that wound. Prevent the rain from entering. ”

Cheryl drew the dagger herself.

Another investigator blocks the rain with a mofo, and she stabs the wound skillfully with a dagger.

Then came out a crystal full of salt.

“This……. ”

Cheryl frowns.

If it had been a little later, the crystals would have melted with blood and rain.

“The Invisible Sphere Spell summons a transparent window. You can use Mana to spear anyone you want. However, it must leave Manasik associated with the staff. ”

Kang Yoon-soo added one last time.

It was a neat finish speech.

“If you examine the Manasik, you'll find out who did it by magic. ”

The investigators found dry handkerchiefs and stored the Manaseok.

And their gaze was on Lefar.

He trembles.

“As you can see, I have a head! How do you commit crimes in front of flying and flying investigators? If I were the perpetrator, I would have done it out of the eyes of the investigators. ”

“You decided today is a good day for committing crimes. ”

Kang Yoon-soo handcuffed the rainwater.

“The rain is the proof. ”

The rain is slightly tender.

He looks at the cloudy sky with wet hair.

“If you pay a meteorologist, he'll teach you the weather ahead. You killed Geffer for the time of the rain. ”

“Me, I asked the meteorologist for rain? Where is such evidence? ”

Kang Yoon-soo glanced at LeFar.

“Adamantane lens from the top weather research agency in Bleepin. Yesterday, you asked the meteorologist to prophesy. Maybe we'll find out later. ”

Lefar kneels on his white face.

The investigators approach and handcuff him.

Kang Yoon-soo turned his head to the Sinner convoy wagon.

“You've got one more companion. ”

* * *

I've arrived at the investigation headquarters of Bleepin.

The convoy has stopped.

Lefar was dragged away by the investigators.

However, Kang Yoon-soo was left alone.

“That was amazing.”

It was Cheryl.

She twists her legs across from him.

Kang Yoon-soo glanced at the document Cheryl placed on her thigh.

“Today, thanks to you, I got rid of the downfall and caught the real culprit. I thank you.”

“Then let me go. ”

“No. ”

She asked.

“You've deduced the culprit without conducting a field search today. How is that even possible? ”

“You're on your own. ”

“The more I know about you, the more I question it. ”

Cheryl raises her mouth a little bit as if it were absurd.

Kang Yoon-soo looked out the window.

It was still raining.

“I felt it was a pity for you to remain a simple criminal. ”

Cheryl raises the paperwork.

Upon posting the documents to the investigation headquarters, Kang Yoon-soo becomes an official criminal.

She took out the lighter and burned the paperwork.

Blubber-

“I'm not giving you freedom. ”

Cheryl opens the window and takes the knife to his neck.

Kang Yoon-soo frowned.

“What is it?”

“Those cuffs are pretty old. ”

Cheryl quickly uncuffed him and filled him with new handcuffs.

Kang Yoon-soo twisted her eyebrows.

Shiny handcuffs made of Mana.

This could not even be unlocked.

“You should keep those handcuffs on for a while. When I achieve the conditions I speak of, I will immediately remove the handcuffs. ”

“What is it?”

“Help me solve my case. ”

“I don't want to. ”

Cheryl releases a small handcuff key.

Kang Yoon-soo asked.

“A few things. ”

“Assist in 30 cases in total. That should give me an edge over a zero-level investigator. Solve the designated cases, and I'll assume you're not guilty. ”

Kang Yoon-soo did a quick calculation.

Cheryl is a man of her word on the outside.

In addition, it only takes him a short time to solve the case.

‘Just run away or Cheryl will turn me into a criminal. ’

Kang Yoon-soo thought for a moment.

‘About 30 cases will be solved in no time. Before you go to the Vampire's Charnel House, it's okay to be rewarded for your investigation. ’

He nods.

Cheryl opened the window.

“You said you released insufficient evidence. Of course, I'm not giving you freedom. Stay in one place while you solve 30 cases. ”

“Where.”

“My house. ”

* * *

“Shanette, smile. Hey-.”

Iris pulls Henry to his feet.

At last, Henry's lips almost burst open.

“Dude! If you want to make fun of people, do it with your face. ”

“But Henry's funnier than I am. ”

“Now you're talking in secret, too? ”

Henrik laughs in vain.

Shanette, on the other hand, hugged her knee with a gloomy face.

“I'm so worried. ”

“Well, neither do I. He had all the red wine from Bleepin. ”

"Not wine, Kang Yoon-soo! ”

Shanette yells.

Henry smiles.

“What's all the fuss all of a sudden? If it was him, he would have gotten away with it. ”

“No, Kang Yoon-soo has changed a lot lately. I can see you're struggling and overdoing it. ”

She grabs the table with a depressing fork.

The three of them captured an inn in Bleepin.

Today was the second day, but Kang Yoon-soo did not return.

“Did something happen? ”

“Well, aren't you wasting your time harassing other people again? ”

Henryk sips a drink.

Shanette was stunned again.

“Think about it! If you get caught on a rainy day like this, how hard could it be? I'm sure they can't eat or wash properly! I... really...! ”

Shanette takes the glass from him and takes it in one fell swoop.

Henrik looks at Iris with a silly look on his face.

“Hey, why are you so upset today? ”

“Hmm. They say a woman who loses her lover is in great pain. ”

“That's me. It's not like he's riding for a day or two. ”

Henryk pours the wine into Shanette's glass.

In the pain of the breakdown, it was prescribed by a drunkard who said alcohol is medicine.

Shanette immediately emptied her glass and said,

“Haven't you noticed Henry and Iris? Kang Yoon-soo has many secrets. He never reveals himself to anyone. But it's gotten worse these days. ”

“I don't do that these days, but I used to get sick at night by myself. ”

“Yes! Why is Kang Yoon-soo so hard? Then why hide it? Why isn't he telling us? ”

Shanette's face is glowing.

Henryk frowns.

“Nothing's more annoying than getting drunk. ”

“What is alcohol? ”

“You're looking at it now. ”

Shanette was endlessly depressed.

Just thinking about how much suffering Kang Yoon-soo is going through alone, my heart ached.

* * *

Kang Yoon-soo soaked in a warm bath.

I feel relieved of my tired body in the rain.

Life here was comfortable.

Except for one thing.

“Uncuff me. ”

“No. ”

Cheryl said with warm water poured over her body.
