Chapter 448 Bingzhixie’s methods
Bingzhixie said: “According to the words left by the kidnappers during the kidnapping, their purpose was to win the first place in the finals of the alchemy competition. This is too strange. Isn’t this clearly telling us to take Is the person who comes first in the competition the kidnapper?”
Maha Lud nodded: “This is indeed strange, but you can’t say that I will practice in the future? First place in the Golden Competition, right? Yes, I am determined to win, and I am very confident."
Bing Zhixie continued: "I have thought about it, and they will not kidnap Wright and let him see it. The ancient bone snake may have left clues to us on purpose.”
“Deliberately left clues to you?” Mahalud smiled: “Why?”
"Yeah, why, that's my question." Bing Zhixie said: "If they deliberately left clues, why did they do this? Moreover, the kidnappers asked us to point the finger directly at the person who might win the first place in the alchemy competition. People, but they clearly tell us that their goal is to be number one. This is actually It doesn’t make sense.”
Mahalud said: “You just mentioned this issue.”
Bing Zhixie continued: “Later I figured it out. , there is a question that we don’t need to explain at all, and that is why the kidnappers told us clearly that they The goal is to get first place in the competition."
"What do you mean?"
Bing Zhixie said: "If you think about the two questions together, you can figure it out. Kidnapper, assuming that my purpose is to win the first place in the alchemy competition, what would I do? Princess, coupled with the recent series of missing and stolen cases of alchemists, the government will soon focus on those participating in the alchemy finals, and the person who takes first place is most likely to be the kidnapper, so I Once the goal is achieved, it will be dangerous. I will not do such a stupid thing.”
Mahalud listened.
Bing Zhixie said: "So I simply told Wright clearly that my goal was to win the first place in the alchemy competition. In this way, Wright would not be able to figure out what my goal was. That is, Said, this is actually a layer of smoke, the kidnappers asked us to focus all our attention on the one that has not yet come out There is a lot of confusion about why the kidnapper deliberately revealed that he was the first place in the alchemy competition. The purpose was to delay time and confuse us. Since it was a smoke to confuse us, of course the more he said. The more it wastes our time, the better, so there is no need to explain this issue.”
"As for why the kidnapper let Wright go and left clues. This is very simple if you think about the above question. Since the first place is not safe, if the kidnapper is discovered Now, wouldn’t the first place be safe?”
Mahalud thought for a while and said: “ What you said seems to make sense, but these are just your speculations. You said it yourself, and these are the results based on assumptions." "That's right." Xie Dao: "So I have to confirm two things to find out whether this hypothesis is true."
"What's the matter?"
Bingzhixie said: "First, I want to determine whether the kidnapper's purpose is really number one. Once I determine this, I can be sure that my hypothesis is possible; Second, I want to determine the final beneficiary of the case. This person is of course the real kidnapper. As far as the current situation is concerned. , I can think of only three reasonable purposes for the kidnappers: first, money; second, political conspiracy; third, first place in the alchemy competition."
"The first and second points are mine. It could not be verified immediately. The kidnappers did not ask for money or put forward any other conditions, so I had no choice but to first Verification of the third one." Bing Zhixie said: "Then the verification method is also very simple. I assume that the kidnapper's purpose is to win the first place in the competition."
Maha Lud said: "Another assumption?"
Bingzhixie said: “If the kidnapper’s goal is number one, then there are other A key figure is the person who takes the blame. If he does not take over the case and becomes the real culprit in the kidnapping case, the number one position will always be unsafe. In other words, this case must be a conspiracy, not a conspiracy. It’s not okay for a person to commit a crime alone, even to frame others.”
Mahalud nodded.
Bingzhixie said: "But to become a qualified alchemist, not all alchemists can do it. He must have sufficient alchemy strength and be qualified to participate in the finals. In this way, the scope will be reduced. It was very small. There were only a few dozen people participating in the finals. In order to find clues about the kidnappers, the guards in the city had conducted very detailed investigations on every alchemist participating in the finals in the past two days. I learned from these investigations. data discovery , only you and your two alchemist friends are qualified to participate in the finals at the same time, and no one else has this condition, so it is obvious that you..."
Mahaloud interrupted Bing Zhixie's words. : "So obviously, this is still your hypothesis."
Bing Zhixie pushed the hat on his head and said, "So let me confirm this hypothesis."
"How to confirm it? ”
Bing Zhixie raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "You seem to have forgotten a very important point. I am not a government guard, and I don't need to find evidence to prove it." Mahalud's expression changed and he stood up: "What do you mean? "
Bingzhixie said: "It's still simple, let's kill you!"
"You..." Mahalud suddenly became nervous.
Bingzhixie said: "If you are a kidnapper, you will definitely not let me kill you. If you are not..., then I'm sorry. I have to think about other things about the princess being kidnapped. There’s a way.”
"Aren't you afraid of killing innocent people by mistake?"
Bingzhi smiled evilly: "What does it have to do with me?"
Mahalud's eyes trembled and he couldn't say anything. Words come.
Bing Zhixie slowly raised his right hand, gathering ice elements in it: "By the way, I don't know if you really don't know me. I think it's better to make it clearer to you. Okay. My name is Celeste Bingzhixie, and I am an ordinary ice mage." As he spoke, the light in his hand grew brighter, and he pushed towards Mahalud.
“Wait a minute!” Mahalud exclaimed, and when he looked again, he saw that there were two ice ridges growing out of Bing Zhixie’s hands like branches, and they were about to stab her heart. There were still some icicles heading towards her throat that were about to wrap around her limbs, and there were also icicles that circled behind her. She couldn't help but tremble all over, and said in a hushed voice: "No...that's right, I captured Her Royal Highness."
The ice branches and edges in Bing Zhixie's hand immediately shattered and turned into gas: "Very good, then let's talk about how you can let Princess Alice go safely."
The two sat back on the sofa again.
Mahalud was still a little scared, but she quickly regained her composure and said: "My original purpose was very simple, to get the first place in the alchemy competition safely, and then bring the princess and the others together. Everyone is let go."
"Okay." Bing Zhixie said: "You can continue to win your first place."
Maha Lud asked: "Don't tell me. Me?”
Bing Zhixie said: "Who wins the first place in this alchemy competition has nothing to do with me at all. I don't like to meddle in other people's business, but I also don't like others to come to me with matters."
Mahalud said: "But if I want to get first place safely, I must continue to do this. "
"Then just go ahead, as long as you send Princess Alice back safely."
"Of course, I won't hurt her. If you don’t want to be wanted by the Demon Moon Empire and Corussia, those who are wanted will not be able to enter the Holy Garden to study,” Mahalud said.
Bing Zhixie stood up and said: "Okay, it seems we have reached an agreement."
Seeing that Bing Zhixie was about to leave, Mahalud shouted: "Wait, are you so relieved? Aren't you afraid that after I achieve this goal, I will put forward any new conditions."
Bing Zhixie He turned back to look at her and said: "I have already threatened you once today, and I don't want to threaten you a second time. You are also a magician, so you should be able to imagine what it feels like to be chased by a magician." After that, He opened the door and left without looking back.
