The night is dark and quiet.

But the Black Shield Team's office is fully lit.

A map of City Lan is hanging on the wall. Jungkook is fiddling with a pen in his hand and casually tapping the table with it. And then he circles three spots on the map.

The other four are sitting. Lalisa is a bit lost watching him so she turns her head and asks Bambam, "What are those places that he circled?"

"I knew you wouldn't recognize them. These are the home addresses of the three victims," a low and laid back voice says.

Jungkook's ears sure are sharp. He has his back towards them as he lifts his hand and draws a big circle that encompasses the three previous circles. He then tosses the pen away, turns around and looks at them.

Lalisa's mouth twitches. Why must he embarrass her in front of their buddies?

Isn't she his...... woman whom he cherishes with all his heart?

Jungkook stuffs one hand into his pocket and says, "Search the warehouses and factories in this area. There should be a large van parked in the front. It should be their old hiding place."

The group is dumbstruck.

Among them besides Jungkook, Cold Face is a top expert in Investigating and he is also a little stunned. After a brief moment, he smiles and nods, "I understand."

Their minds connect with each other while Chatterbox and Bambam are still in a haze. Lalisa is also confused. The three of them look at each other.

Jungkook sweeps his eyes across them, sits down and says in an unhurried manner, "Following the perpetrator of a crime will bring something into the crime scene and leave with something from it. The more complicated and fancier the crime is, the more evidence will be left behind. And these three cases are just like what Lalisa said, they're all very fancy."

Lalisa and the others nod. Every criminal investigator knows this principle. It's just that all golden rules are easy to learn but hard to execute. So, therefore, they can all be regarded as nonsense. Bambam frowns his eyebrows and asks, "But they've destroyed all the surveillance cameras in the key areas. There are also no witnesses. We also haven't found any fingerprints or traces of evidence at the crime scenes."

Jungkook smiles faintly, "What they have wiped away are just the traces within our view. What about the areas that are not in our view?"

Everybody is a bit stunned. Jungkook taps his finger on the armrest and continues, "It's a very simple relationship to the logic. Last night, L appeared at A's crime scene. A appeared at R's crime scene."

Lalisa nods. They've already concluded yesterday: at A's explosion scene, the clown's makeup was done by L. The marking on the ground was also written by L. And the device at R's mermaid scene was installed by A.

"As for L's wax figure, there were no scratches or bumps. It was in perfect condition when it was discovered. No fingerprint was left on the skin elther," Jungkook says, "If it was moved by one person, it would have been very hard to do that. Therefore, we can believe that L had a helping hand. This means that last night, these three people did not commit the crimes by themselves. They were working together."

He lifts his eyes and looks at Lalisa as if he's thinking about something.

Lalisa is a bit surprised. Afterall, her ears have heard him speak of traditional investigation methods and stuff like logical paradoxes monotonously. She seems to understand it now!
