Chapter 170

The reason is simple: with Calab's arrest, his Mystic Eye is now under the name of the Law Department, and the money obtained from the final auction will not go to Calab, but back to the Law Department.

This is equivalent to moving money from the left hand to the right hand; the Law Department can bid as much as it wants.

But the Second was not worried about this.

Because Hishiri Kayano does not represent the entire Law Department, the funds she can mobilize are limited.

Although this behavior is a transfer, the money must be paid first, not to mention the handling fees.

If the final winning price is too high, the Law Department will not approve it for Hishiri Kayano at all.

But this unscrupulous method is indeed in line with Hishiri Kayano's style.

The Second said that this is just a feint; the enemy probably didn't expect that Calab's Mystic Eye would be driven so high by them, and now they probably have no time to be distracted by other things. This is exactly their opportunity.

"Waver, I ask you, can you guarantee that what follows will be interesting?"

Melvin said seriously: "That scene will be interesting enough that a friend can risk bankruptcy without feeling guilty."

The current price has exceeded Melvin's disposable limit; if he wants to continue bidding, he has to bet his family fortune.

So he asked the Second this way, whether what he was doing was worth it.

"I promise, you will definitely like it."

The Second gave him a pleasant smile.

Feng Xi: "Good guy, this smile has truly inherited the essence of the Golden King."

Hero King: "Hahaha, not bad, kid, it seems you are also a person who understands."

Hero King: "How about it, do you want to leave that rude guy and join my command?"

Waver: "No way..."

No, this is definitely not me in the video, I don't admit it.

Conqueror: "Hey hey, Golden King, it's not good for you to poach my subject like this."

Hero King: "Hmph, as long as it's someone I fancy, it's mine. It's his honor that I fancy him, he should be grateful."

Having received the Second's guarantee, Melvin immediately went to mortgage and borrow money.

Just in case, the Second also had to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take out the debt card Reines gave him.

Now all his hard work for several years will be in vain.

Subsequently, the Second left with Caules, seemingly to do something.

And Melvin, who had already raised the money, looked very excited.

Gray: "Um, why do you have to go to such lengths?"

Melvin: "Do you know? I like to find pleasure in the depravity and failure of others. Before I knew that my physical condition couldn't make me an ordinary Jewel Jewel Mage, I was always like this, but guys without humanity also have their own pride."

"As long as I think it's interesting, whether I bet my parents or myself, I have to gamble to the end. Otherwise, if I just keep myself out of it, then I don't even count as human, I would just degenerate into a coward."

Hero King: "Ah, this person seems not bad, qualified to be my subject."

Waver: "You'd better not get close to him."

He didn't even know that Melvin had such vicious thoughts.

But fortunately, this guy has his own pride.

He must never let him get together with the Golden King, otherwise he would definitely be led to become a second Kirei Kotomine.

The auction continued, and the price began to soar again.

The Second and Yvette sniped Hishiri Kayano one after another, adding ten million at a time.

Finally, just as the Second predicted, Hishiri Kayano withdrew.

But unexpectedly, Yvette actually started bidding against the Second, calling up to 500 million.

For Yvette's abnormality, the Second was stunned for a moment, then realized.

Then, he interrupted the auction and began to solve the case.

Video paused.

[Question: Who is the real killer of the Mystic Eye Collection Train incident?]

[Start answering!]

Kayneth: "Has it finally come to this moment?"

Darnic: "The killer is, Heartless!"

[Ding! Congratulations to Darnic for answering part of it correctly, gaining 1 Saint Quartz.]

Feng Xi: "Good guy, Darnic, you thick-eyebrowed and big-eyed guy have also learned to rush to answer."

Darnic: "Overpraised, overpraised."

Gordes: "But only answering part of it, is it because there is more than one killer?"

Kirei Kotomine (Emiya Emiya Shirou): "The killers are Heartless and Calab."

[Ding! Congratulations to Darnic for answering part of it correctly, gaining 1 Saint Quartz.]

Kirei Kotomine (Emiya Emiya Shirou): "Only answered part of it too?"

Empress: "Could it be that we have to count that Servant in?"

Kayneth: "The killers are Heartless, Calab, and Hephaestion."

[Ding! Kayneth answered incorrectly, deducting 1 Saint Quartz.]

Kayneth: "!!!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Pfft, it seems the case has nothing to do with Hephaestion."

Waver: "Teacher, I told you not to be impatient, we are discussing it."

Kayneth: "Everyone is rushing to answer now, by the time you finish discussing, the food will be cold."

Second: "Strange, according to my analysis, the killers should be Heartless and Calab, could it be that I missed someone?"

Feng Xi: "Cough cough, it seems you are all still a little bit off."

Darnic: "Oh, could it be that you already know who that third person is?"

Feng Xi: "Hehe, there is no third person at all, you guys thought wrong."

Feng Xi: "The killer is Heartless disguised as Caules, the case was committed by him manipulating Calab."

[Ding! Feng Xi answered correctly, rewarded with 5 Saint Quartz.]

Caules: "!!!"

Darnic: "..."

Second: "So that's it, Heartless has been hiding by my Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side in the video, this was my miscalculation, I thought he was hiding in the dark."

Waver: "Good guy, this killer has been by my Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side all along."

Conqueror: "Kid, didn't we agree to bring me along?"

Feng Xi: "This rush-to-answer question, how can I bring you along?"

[Video continues.]

[As soon as the case-solving began, the Second pointed out that although Hishiri Kayano's deduction was full of loopholes, it was actually correct in general.]

[Theresa was indeed killed by Calab, and she was not wrong about the method.]

[But the problem is still that, the motive for the crime.]

[The reason that Calab has a mental illness is nonsense.]

[Subsequently, the Second asked 'Caules' to bring Theresa's head.]

[There is also a problem with Theresa, that is, why did she hide her own head? Was it really just to keep a breath to identify the killer?]

[No, she actually wanted to convey another thing.]

[That is, people don't necessarily die immediately after being beheaded.]

[Beheading equals death, this is the preconceived notion of ordinary people, but they are mages.]

[As long as they are excellent mages, they can make the severed head survive.]

[The Second said that in the case seven years ago, the victims had their heads taken by the killer, not to dig out their Mystic Eyes, but because those victims were not dead.]

[This way the killer doesn't need to work hard to transplant the Mystic Eyes, and can use them directly.]

[Theresa was investigating the seven-year case and the Holy Grail War, and the killer could obtain this information as long as he got her head.]

[But Theresa didn't let him succeed.]

Rin Tohsaka: "What, people can still live with only their heads left?"

Kayneth: "Some mages can indeed do this, but that doesn't really count as living."

Kayneth: "Just like the flying head monster in Nanyang, it counts as a familiar, no longer a human."
