The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician
Chapter 135 - 128: The Difference Between Technique and Magic

Chapter 135: Chapter 128: The Difference Between Technique and Magic

"I suspect that Garcia must have died from an extract that can induce myocardial infarction, which acts more quickly and causes death similar to amber colic poisoning, but it’s not a poison. The livor mortis is proof enough," Jiang Shu said gravely, recalling the words of the toxicology master in the Special Prison.

Perhaps...

Clo knew this, so he told the Mechanical Disciple, who then acquired this extract, eventually leading to the Garcia case.

"Hm, this is also very important evidence," Wolf nodded.

"So, judging by the time, Garcia must not have been injected while sitting with me, but after he entered the water," Jiang Shu’s reasoning was clear, as he methodically deconstructed the Garcia case.

"But... the surveillance video shows that Garcia was the only person in the pool at the time," Wolf frowned, "If it was after he entered the water, could it have been suicide?"

"...You’re overthinking it," Jiang Shu quipped.

B: My needle is poisonous~ (swish)

"Hey, what a coincidence," Jiang Shu again looked surprised, "I just happen to be a magician, and just happen to know a method, and have coincidentally performed similar magic before."

Wolf: "Shut the hell up."

Jiang Shu fell silent, pursing his lips tightly.

Wolf: "..."

"Spit it out already," he said irritably.

"A glass container placed underwater, ensuring both water and air are present inside," Jiang Shu explained as he opened his small Projection, displaying the simulated results, "Due to the different media inside the container, light gets refracted when passing through, resulting in the effect that..."

"Even if there is someone inside, they can’t be seen," he pointed to the projection from his small device, "This could be the real truth behind the in-pool murder."

"Then, the police and gang members crashed the scene, and everything descended into chaos," Jiang Shu shrugged, "The killer in the pool took that opportunity to escape through the drainage pipe and also took the glass container with them. Only after that did the police seal the scene and drain the pool for inspection, creating a time gap."

"Of course, this is just speculation based on certain facts; you could let the officers simulate the scene again," Jiang Shu suggested, "But I’ve been observing for a while; it should be correct."

At that time, his eyes didn’t see the killer, but he was sure that his gaze met the killer’s in another dimension.

"So that’s how it is," Wolf understood, grasping the crux of the problem, and couldn’t help but admire Jiang Shu even more.

What is called having clear evidence, being well-prepared, having courage and meticulousness...

Wait, courage?

He suddenly realized, "This isn’t irrefutable evidence; you clearly didn’t need to go to prison. Confess, what were you really up to by going to prison?"

"Uh, have you ever heard a saying?" Jiang Shu’s voice deepened still.

"Hm?" Wolf looked puzzled.

"The great teacher once said that a life without having been in jail is incomplete," Jiang Shu intoned.

"Who said that? What nonsense. If everyone deliberately went to jail like you, wouldn’t it be squandering social resources?" Wolf scowled, exasperated.

"You don’t understand; I do," Jiang Shu declared calmly.

Times change, and of course, that saying doesn’t apply now.

"Pfft, give me a reason, why did you really want to go to jail?" Wolf asked with a dark face.

"Uh, I wanted to experience it," Jiang Shu said seriously, "My next Magic is about escape, so I wanted to experience the feeling of imprisonment to better understand escape."

"I’m a conscientious person, you know that. I like to get hands-on experience in everything I do, so I wanted to know what real prison life is like," he continued, "Opportunities like this don’t come often."

"I see," Wolf always felt something was off, but somehow, no matter how bizarre the issue, as long as it had to do with art, he seemed to be able to understand it.

The Entertainment Series is, after all, a circle elusive to the common man.

"It’s not court till two o’clock; how about I take you out for lunch? I bet the food in jail isn’t great, huh?" Wolf glanced at the time; it was already lunch.

Jiang Shu asked, "Is that possible? Won’t you be punished if we’re found out?"

"You’d get punished if you ran away," Wolf said nonchalantly, "As of now... you’re just helping to collect evidence, aiding the investigation."

"Okay, then I’ll try to see if I can escape," Jiang Shu nodded solemnly.

"..." Wolf couldn’t be bothered to respond, simply unlocking Jiang Shu’s handcuffs from the table and chaining their hands together.

"Hey, isn’t that a bit much, Wolf?" Jiang Shu said helplessly.

Talk about being cautious, daring to take a prisoner out to eat; talk about being incautious, chaining the handcuffs so tightly.

But Wolf ignored him and instead asked, "Hey, if someone like a fox laid a ’Heart Anchor’ on me, how do I break it?"

"Heart Anchor?" Jiang Shu rubbed his chin with his free hand, "For an old cop like you, as long as you’re a bit alert, you generally can’t be hypnotized."

"But what if it’s already done? I remember you said that until the Heart Anchor is triggered, the subject actually appears quite normal," Wolf continued, "If that’s the case, what should I do?"

"If that happens..." Jiang Shu pondered for a few seconds, "Thioglycolic acid should do the trick."

"Huh? Thioglycolic acid? What’s that?" Wolf was utterly confused. The answer didn’t quite match what he wanted to know.
