With restrictions on going out and travel not allowed, it is naturally impossible to continue the soul heaven plan.

Even in the Kingdom of Magicians, Ash has to rely on the public transportation system if he wants to travel, not to mention the Kingdom of Stars with its mysterious chain mechanism. If he wants to travel quickly, he has to rely on social resources.

After hearing this, everyone understood the real target of this serial murder case.

Vichy chuckled, Igula blew out a smoke ring, Fili looked a little depressed, and Rose was still looking at her phone.

"I see," Ash nodded, "It's a reasonable approach."

Lucia also breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually very reluctant to tell the suspect that you would most likely be acquitted, and she did not advocate actions like vigilantes.

But for some reason, even though all the evidence pointed to Ash, she suddenly felt that Ash was not the kind of psychopath who would go fishing to kill people.

Even though the outside was crowded with police officers and he was being tortured, he still listened to the case calmly, as if it was not the first time he was arrested. The calmness and confidence in his eyes calmed Lucia's anxiety. That's why she told Ash not to worry and not to escalate the situation. Accepting the investigation obediently was the best option.

"You're going to use this method to stop me...?"

Ash lowered his eyelids and exhaled: "It is indeed her style, simple and crude but effective."

"Rose, where is she?"

"I've sent you the location of her phone," Rose said. "It's moving out of the city."

"I need a car." Ash stood up and said, "A fastest sports car."

"The Oracle Comet is limited to 99 units nationwide. It is the fastest commercial sports car on the market." Rose tossed the car keys to Ash. "It has already driven over here from the station warehouse. Do you want me to drive?"

"No need." Ash took the car keys, "How many cars did you take on the trip?"

"There are only two. The Oracle Comet can catch up with everyone, and the Phantom Star can take everyone with it."

Lucia felt something was wrong, "Mr. Heath, you——"

"Shh." Ash put his finger to his lips and winked at the female police officer: "Please wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

"Vichy." He looked at the maid who was eating grapes, "How much do you know?"

"I've only seen them once or twice." Vichy peeled off the grape skins and threw them far away to Ash. "I'm not a pervert. I won't drive after pretty girls and pester them."

Ash opened his mouth to take the grapes, and was immune to Vichy's sarcasm: "Why didn't you tell me? If you can't give a reason..."

"I thought she was just hungry, like me."

Wei Xi smiled and said, "And do you really want me to tell tales? When we go back, if I find out that the Sword Witch is hiding something from you, do you also want me to tell you?"

Ash's lips moved slightly, and he was really convinced by Vichy's twisted logic. If he allowed Vichy to tell tales, then Vichy would be able to openly sow discord and fan the flames in the future, which would cause greater harm. He never doubted that if he gave Vichy a little sunshine, she would be so bright that she would burn everything.

He sighed and looked towards the door: "Igula, what's going on?"

The fraudster puffed out smoke, and the police officers beside him all had dull eyes and were as quiet as chickens. As a spiritual legend, he only needed his voice, eyes, and a little bit of hallucinogenic drugs to make ordinary people completely relax and forget the sad fact that they had to work overtime late at night.

"I don't like people who do tricks behind people's backs," Igula said calmly, "and their methods are so crude and unartistic."

"…But don't you often do little things behind my back with Harvey?"

"Yeah." Igula raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong? Don't thieves care if their rotten locks are roughly opened?"

"Your analogy is terrible, but why did you emphasize that it's a lousy lock? You don't even need to add the word lousy!"

"After all, a fickle lock sounds strange..."

Ash covered his forehead, turned to look at Rose, put his hands together in a begging gesture, and said with an embarrassed look, "I'm going to trouble you again..."

"I'll take care of it. It's not a big problem." Rose said calmly, "Handling the employer's murder case is also within the scope of an assistant's job."

"I want to go too!" Fili stood up, blaming herself: "I should have discovered it a long time ago. Obviously, I am the most familiar with her..."

"You know her personality. The more people there are, the more nervous she gets. She might even have a stress reaction." Ash said, "And this incident was caused by me, so it can only be me."

"I'll leave this to you guys, I'll be back soon."

Ash pulled Lucia up and opened the glass door of the balcony. The strong wind and rain outside suddenly blew in. He took the umbrella thrown by Rose and said to Lucia, "I'm sorry, Officer Underwood, there is a sniper outside. I can only ask you to escort me downstairs."

"Luckily it's raining heavily today and visibility is very low." Ash felt the rain hitting his face, "If the time is short enough, it should be fine."

"Mr. Heath!" Lucia thought he was crazy. "All entrances and exits are guarded by police officers. There is no way you can—"

"But you certainly didn't guard this escape route."

Lucia watched helplessly as Ash pulled her to the balcony and jumped, stepping on the railing and jumping down from the 27th floor.

When her feet were suspended in the air, her mind went blank until she heard the wind whistling in her ears and felt herself being held in the arms of the suspect, and then she came to her senses.

They jumped!

Why? Why? Why!?

Her daughter was still waiting for her call at home. She also wanted to take her daughter to Xiaguang Happy World on the weekend. Her daughter’s birthday was in a month, and she had already prepared a birthday present, and also… and also…

"Close your eyes."

Ash's voice was clearly audible over the sound of the wind. He covered Lucia's eyes with his hands, "It's okay."

As if grasping at a lifeline, Lucia closed her eyes tightly, as if a miracle would happen if she couldn't see.

call.

The air stopped whistling, and the sound of dripping rain filled her ears again. Lucia's heart was pounding with nervousness. She didn't open her eyes until her feet touched the ground and Ash told her that she could open her eyes.

They were on the commercial street next to the hotel. Due to the heavy rain and the late hour, there were no pedestrians on the street. Only the neon signs of the shops were still bright in the rain.

Lucia stared at herself in a daze. She had jumped from the 27th floor, but she wasn't hurt at all? She even felt refreshed, as if she had just done a safe bungee jump.

What happened just now? What did Ash Heath do?

Snap. Lucia looked up and saw Ash open his umbrella, without a single drop of rain blowing into it.

"Officer Underwood, I'm leaving now. Could you please remove my handcuffs?"

"……ah?"

"I have to chase someone." Ash said, "So I can't go back with you for the time being, but I will come back and turn myself in. If you are worried about the responsibility, you can say that I threatened you."

Ash's tone was so matter-of-fact and thoughtful, as if she would really agree. The heroic and resolute female police officer lowered her head and was silent for a long time. Ash did not urge her until a streamlined sports car slowly drove around the corner and approached them. Lucia said, "Mr. Heath, can I trust you?"

"Just call me Ash." Ash said, "You can believe in me like you believe in miracles."

Lucia stared at him blankly, then sneered, "What does this mean..."

She took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs. Ash raised the door of the sports car with the car key and handed the umbrella to Lucia: "This umbrella is for you."

Seeing Ash getting into the sports car, Lucia couldn't help but ask, "Actually, you weren't the one who committed the crime, were you?"

"Why do you say that?" Ash smiled, "You're almost convincing me that I committed all the murders."

"If you are not the murderer, then you should assist the investigation. We will definitely clear your name. If you flee and resist arrest, it will only make the situation worse." Lucia advised seriously: "If you must go, you can take me with you. I can at least cover up a little and say that you are going to look for clues."

Ash glanced at her in surprise, "Officer Underwood…."

"Lucia Underwood." For some reason, the female police officer took the initiative to say her full name.

"Ms. Lucia, thank you for your concern." Ash smiled and said, "I don't know if this can be considered compensation, but when I turn myself in, I will say that it was your persuasion that made me turn over a new leaf and return to the right path."

"By the way, you just said that your child is a loyal reader of mine." He took out a signature pad from the car and wrote a few words quickly. "Mr. Heath would appreciate her support."

Lucia lowered her head and saw a signature written in pen on the signature board: "Wishing Lucia Underwood and her beloved children happiness."

She held the signed version in her arms, watching the shiny black door close, the engine roar, and then the sports car left a trail in the rain before disappearing around the corner of the intersection.
