Chapter 324: ·Quick answer, the identity of the person behind the scenes

~6 min read 1,129 words

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

【Waver stated that this was just a feint; the enemy probably didn't expect Calab's Mystic Eye to be bid up so high by them, and now they probably have no time to be distracted by other things, which is their opportunity.】

【"Waver, I ask you, can you guarantee that what happens next will be interesting?"】

【Melvin said seriously: "That scene will be interesting enough that a friend wouldn't feel ashamed even if they risked bankruptcy."】

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

【So he asked Waver this, whether doing so is worth it.】

【"I guarantee you will love it."】

【Waver gave him a pleasant smile.】

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

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

The King of Heroes: "How about it? Do you want to leave that boorish fellow and join under my banner?"

Waver: "No way..."

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

Conqueror: "Hey hey, Gilgamesh, 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 Waver's guarantee, Melvin immediately went to mortgage and borrow money.】

【Just in case, Waver also had to take out the debt card Reines gave him.】

【Now all his hard work for several years would be in vain.】

【Subsequently, Waver left with Caules, seemingly to handle 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 enjoy gaining pleasure from the depravity and failure of others. Before I knew that my physical condition couldn't make me an ordinary magus, I was always like this, but even guys without humanity have their own pride."】

【"As long as I think it's interesting, whether I bet my parents or myself, I have to bet to the end. Otherwise, if I just keep myself out of it, then I don't even count as having humanity, and I'll 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 nasty thoughts.

But fortunately, this guy has his own pride.

Must not let him get mixed up with Gilgamesh, otherwise he would definitely be led to become the second Kirei Kotomine.

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

【Waver and Yvette sniped Hishiri Kayano one after another, adding ten million at a time.】

【Finally, as Waver predicted, Hishiri Kayano withdrew.】

【But unexpectedly, Yvette actually started bidding against Waver, calling up to 500 million.】

【For Yvette's abnormality, Waver 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?"

Darnic: "The killer is, Heartless!"

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

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

Darnic: "Overpraised, overpraised."

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

Kirei Kotomine: "The killers are Heartless and Calab."

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

Kirei Kotomine: "Only answered part of it too?"

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

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 answering quickly now; by the time you finish discussing, the food will be cold."

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

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

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

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

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

【Ding! Extra Feng Xi answered correctly, rewarded with 5 Saint Quartz.】

Caules: "!!!"

Darnic: "..."

Waver: "So that's it, Heartless has been hiding by my side in the video; this point was my miscalculation, I thought he was hiding in the dark."

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

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

Extra Feng Xi: "This quick-answer question, how can I bring you?"

【Video continues.】

【At the beginning of solving the case, Waver pointed out that although Hishiri Kayano's reasoning was full of loopholes, it was actually correct in general.】

【Trishula was indeed killed by Calab, and the method she said was not wrong.】

【But the problem is still that, the motive for the crime.】

【The reason that Calab has a mental illness is nonsense.】

【Subsequently, Waver asked 'Caules' to bring Trishula's head.】

【There is also a problem with Trishula, that is, why did she hide her own head? Was it really just to leave 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 means death, this is the preconceived notion of ordinary people, but they are magi.】

【As long as they are excellent magi, they can make the severed head survive.】

【Waver stated that in the case seven years ago, the killer took the heads of those victims, not to dig out their Mystic Eyes, but because those victims were not dead.】

【In this way, the killer doesn't need to laboriously transplant the Mystic Eyes and can use them directly.】

【Trishula was investigating the seven-year case and the Holy Grail War; the killer could get this information as long as he got her head.】

【But Trishula didn't let him succeed.】

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

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

Kayneth: "Just like the flying heads in Nanyang, it counts as a familiar, no longer a human." ===== CHAPTER 326 =====
