"September 13th.I should have stopped.I seem to have discovered some secret, but I really should stop.They should also stop, they don't know what they're provoking. ”"September 17th.I'm crazy.I must be crazy.Nick, do you know what you're doing?
Stop it!
Stop it!
You're going to expose yourself and kill yourself.But I couldn't stop.I can't even look at my own hands now, and if my mother knew what I did, would she forgive me?
”"September 19.What to do?
I'm so scared, Goddess Ogur, please bless me.I seem to have opened a mysterious Carpenini box, and the evil god is approaching.But now that I know, what should I do?
Directly erase those memories?
Should I continue to pretend that nothing happened?
”To be precise, this should be a booklet of investigations, a true record of Nightingale's mood ups and downs, contradictions and anxieties over the past week.Furthermore, the appearance of Horden and Robben touched Nightingale's cordon, and Nightingale's conscience awakened, but this became the death knell that ended his life - Nightingale's investigation should have been a surprise, and this was the result of death, which also shows that Victor's company does have problems.The contents of the investigation manual were only until September 19, and two days after that, on September 21, Nightingale committed suicide at home.And the real value of this investigative manual, which is so short that it barely has much substance, is the bottom half of the parchment scroll - "Death List: Karso Donn."

"Twenty names were listed on the parchment scroll, including the name of Samuel Capalti and the name of Holden Herlot, but with a parentheses filled in with a question mark, apparently in question about Holden's condition."
During this time, Holden and Robben had secretly spied on Nightingale twice, but found nothing unusual and eventually gave up.The original purpose was to see if Nightingale was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and then it was hoped that Nightingale would be able to guide them to find more clues.Sadly, nothing.Now it seems that Nightingale is indeed not anomalous, as he is not investigating Mr.
Harford's banquet, but rather looking for the names that have gone missing.Maybe......
Nightingale just wanted to prove Holden and Robben's words wrong, he just wanted his hands not to be covered in blood.One name after another, without any annotation or explanation, but behind each name represents a lost life, they are not a set of numbers or a piece of text, but a real life, they have their own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but also have their own memories and stories; And now, the traces of their existence have been erased as if they had never visited the world.Although this list is based on Nightingale's own investigations, its authenticity and credibility have yet to be confirmed; Moreover, it should be more of a "missing list" than a "death list", all of which cannot be found for the time being, and death is not certain, including Samuel.But Nightingale's investigation directly confirmed Holden's suspicion that this time it was far from being as simple as it seemed.Twenty names represent twenty missing persons, and this is only known to Nightingale, so how many other people in Iwabuchi are introducing part-time jobs like Nightingale?
And how many waiters did Mr.
Harford need for each banquet?
Don't dare to think deeply.If it is in the process of identifying these missing persons that Nightingale exposes her "perceived anomalous" movements, and then suffers silence, then it makes sense; But at the same time, it also means that Hoden and Robben are also in danger of being exposed at any time.With Hoden and Robben's current abilities, they are estimated to be no better than Nightingale, and once discovered, it is estimated that they should be in a catastrophe.Danger is approaching.Next, they need to be more cautious.After carefully reading it again from beginning to end, Hodden snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a cluster of flames jumped up on his fingertips, and then his attention was highly focused, and the flames fell on the names "Hoden Herlo" and "Samuel Capalti", burning little by little until they were blurred.Finally disappear.The parchment rolls were not burned, not even burned, but charred and blackened in the places of the two names, making the handwriting unrecognizable.Holden knew that it was only a matter of time before Issa remembered the parchment scroll, and he didn't plan to keep it forever, so he would take it to the Eighth Precinct tomorrow, pretend to be forgetful and take it home with him, and then return the evidence.But at the same time, Horden has no plans to expose himself and Robben for the time being, even if the security team launches a follow-up investigation, he needs to take himself out, so as to facilitate the follow-up covert investigation and avoid startling the snake.First of all, he should use the security team to confirm whether all the names on this "death list" are really dead?
Or is it a state of constant disappearance?
Regardless of Nightingale's investigation, Holden needs to be further verified.At the end of the day, Nightingale's hearing may not be comprehensive, and there are countless possibilities, just like the difference between Hodden and Samuel, who still need official certification.Secondly, during the investigation of the security team, you can also test the water temperature to see if the mastermind behind the scenes will send professional killers to fight against the security team.Perhaps, the official "scare the snake" will be able to get a windfall, and see how much support this Mr.
Harford banquet gets.Thirdly, he should also think about how to make the most of this missing person investigation, on the one hand, he can lead the investigation to the "St.
Peter's Examination Center"; On the other hand, it promotes the in-depth search of Victor's company, and gradually approaches the mastermind behind the scenes, and boiling frogs in warm water is the right way to open it.Otherwise, judging from the other party's tyrannical means of solving Victor and Nightingale, a little anger to the other party may end up being directly cleared.Having been struggling with how to get the vigilantes involved in the St.
Peter's investigation and finding an excuse to keep Issa from suspicion — and to prevent the mastermind from detecting the danger, Nightingale's list now seems to be the perfect entry point.Thanks to the well-known "super bad success rate of solving crimes" of the Iwabuchi security team, even if the security team comes to investigate, the people behind the scenes should not care - anyway, with the ability of the security team, there should be nothing to investigate, which may be able to buy some space and time for Holden who is secretly investigating in parallel.()
