Investigation is not a simple thing, despite what some might claim. And it is nothing like what is shown on television or films, it is not simply a matter of things falling into the lap of the investigator or detective, who would at the end of the show go ah ha and show how everything had happened.
No, true investigation was dirty work. It required casting a wide net to acquire information, to chase after leads, to piece it together. All too often, one ended up with incorrect information, be it from tampering or things being not what one was expecting.
You were not like Tokiomi. For one, you believed in using mundane resources. True, it required an extra layer to confirm that there were no... supernatural influences on them, but that just required redundancies.
Directing your investigators, your detectives, your paid police officers... you studied the timeline of the murders and found things were not as simple as you had imagined it would be.
For one, the murders were not simply a case of 'random occult' scribbling that came from a deranged mind. Not when blood was used to paint thaumaturgical wards... or more accurately, it was a summoning circle painted in blooded.
Crude, disguised among random occult symbolism, but the fact was... it appeared that a magus was disguising their attempts to use the murders as a catalyst.
And the last known set of murders might have been successful. Four girls butchered, nothing surprising there. It was the fifth... the fifth had been freed before dying horribly as she attempted to escape.
It was unlikely for the murders to continue, given that the summoning was successful... and yet... it worried you, as to who or what was summoned. The behavior and appetite of the Heroic Spirit might require that the murders continue.
Well... if you focused on that servant summoned, you would deal with the murderer and resolve the issue.
Based on the information collected, the murderer was male or a tall female with a matching upper body strength, as well as a propensity of using small and very sharp bladed weapons.
The other issue is that, the murders didn't explain the rash of disappearances. One might believe that the murderer was responsible for the disappearances of various people who wouldn't be missed or easily missed, but there were holes here and there... the pattern of disappearances didn't fit with the murders.
Rather, it appeared that the disappearances was a result of someone taking advantage of the serial killer.
You had the suspicion that 'Blue Beard' might be responsible in part for either one or possibly both of these issues.
How vexing, which is why you're relaxing at home on the sofa as you listened to the radio play soft music while Sakura rested her head on your lap. You had been 'promoted' from a Matou magus to a lap pillow!
