One Punch Man King Engine

Mori, a well-known detective in Y City, appeared three years ago.
Whenever a murder occurs in Y City, Mori would always appear at the scene in time and use his powerful reasoning ability and observation skills to solve the murder case.
He had solved more than two hundred cases of various sizes in three years, including many cases that gave the police a headache.
Thus, he was known as the savior of the police.

However, Mori always used shadow instead of his true face whenever he appeared.
People thought that Mori was hiding his identity to avoid retaliation from criminals for the cases he solved.
Every time he solved a case, he would explain his reasoning in his shadow form, bringing the criminal to the law.
Because of his strange behavior, he was also called the Shadow of Truth.

After Mori’s appearance, everyone immediately calmed down.
They subconsciously believed that the murder case would be quickly solved with Mori here, and the murderer would definitely be caught.

“The savior of the police?” King was deep in thought.
This was the reason why Child Emperor was familiar with the police!

Damon’s expression changed slightly.
He thought for a moment and forced himself to calm down.
“Everyone, compared to the murderer, I think the most important thing is to deal with the zombie virus.
After all, none of us know whether the zombie virus is infectious.
If it can spread to other people, its potential harm would be terrible.”

“Roar —”

Everyone’s heart jumped at the roar.
Luya, who was bitten by Robert, was no longer screaming in pain.
His veins bulged, his face ferocious, and he roared in a low rumbling voice.

“Explosive Energy Bomb!”

King raised his eyebrows and glanced at the expressionless Damon.
He opened his hand and fired an energy bomb.

Boom!

An explosion shook the room.
Luya was blown apart before finishing the zombie transmutation.

“Is this gentleman a Hero? Lightning Genji?”

King’s two energy bombs were blue, similar to lightning.
It seems that he had been mistaken for Lightning Genji.

Everyone looked curiously at King, whose face was covered by a cap.
They began speculating about King’s identity in their hearts.

Cough, cough, everyone, now is not the time to pay attention to the Hero.
The murderer is still at large, meaning that the zombie virus has a possibility of spreading.

At this time, “Mori’s” shadow on the wall shook and pulled the topic back, “As long as the murderer is controlled, the zombie virus can be mitigated.
Otherwise, the virus might cause turmoil in Y City.”

King raised his eyebrows and looked straight at Damon.
However, he refrained from making any move.
Although many signs indicated that Damon was the one with the virus, in order to avoid wrongly accusing a good person, he decided to wait for Child Emperor to deduce the truth and announce the murderer.

“Mr.
Mori, may I ask who was the murderer?”

Everyone finally recalled their dangerous situation.
A slight commotion ensued from their impatience.

“Mori” took out a “magnifying glass” (actually the shadow of the lollipop) and shook it, saying in a low voice, “There is only one truth.
The murderer is…”

“It’s me.”

A sudden voice interrupted Child Emperor’s performance.

“Oh, Damon?”

Everyone looked at Damon in surprise.
They instinctively stepped away from him.

“That’s right, I was the one who killed my dad, and I was the one who injected my dad with the zombie virus.”

“Mori”: … Can you let me at least say a few words?

“Although I know my murder plan is not perfect, I didn’t expect you to see through it so quickly.”

His face was full of loneliness.

“Mori” smiled and said, “The great philosopher Sayed Michellf once said that a thousand-mile wall was collapsed by an ant nest.
For us detectives, it is possible to track you down even with the smallest trace.
The only difference is speed.”

Damon was silent for a while and then said in a hoarse voice, “Can you tell me, at what point did you determine that I was the murderer?”

“When your father turned into a zombie.”

“So that’s how it is.
I was too obvious.” A self-deprecating smile appeared on Damon’s face.
He took a deep breath and turned to King.
“Can I know your name? I want to know who I lost to.”

“Me?” King pointed at himself and laughed.
“You are mistaken.
Mori was the one who deduced your crime of murder.
What does it have to do with me?”

“Mori? Heh, don’t joke around.
If the people here are not blind, they can guess that the person pretending to be Mori is the little boy who was beside you before, no? The same cap and the same aura.
You are… father and son?”

King: …

Child Emperor: …

Everyone: …

“If I’m not wrong, you’re the one who taught the kid deduction skills and how to become Mori, right? From the beginning, your gaze has been fixed on me.
I know that you have long seen through my hidden identity as the murderer.
However, I did not expect that you would push this glory to Mori, using Mori’s identity to reveal the truth of the case.”

Damon smiled sternly, “You exposed me, so I will not let you hide behind the scenes.
I want to expose the fact that you let the little boy pretend to be Mori so you can also be exposed.
This way, it will be fair between us.”

King’s mouth twitched.
Your imagination is really rich.
That’s right, after I touched Card from Robert, I guessed that you might be the murderer, so I looked at you a few more times.
However, the matter of Child Emperor pretending to be Mori really has nothing to do with me.
You are mistaken!

Seeing that he had been seen through, Child Emperor awkwardly put away the light.
The shadow on the wall immediately disappeared.
He walked out from behind the pillar with a lollipop in his mouth.
Everyone felt so sure the one that revealed the truth was King.
Child Emperor felt wronged and wanted to cry, but he could not do anything.

Maigret turned at Damon with a serious look.
“Where did you get the zombie virus from?”

Damon lit a cigar for himself, took a puff, and puffed out the smoke from his nose.
With a relaxed smile, he said, “This is a product from my personal biological research institute.
Don’t worry; this thing was only produced in a small amount, and it hasn’t been traded to anyone else.”

“Phew —”

Maigret breathed a sigh of relief.
If the zombie virus became a plague, there’s no telling how much harm it would bring.
There was no room for carelessness.

King turned to the mischievous Child Emperor, “Hey, the case has been solved.
Let’s go.”

Damon had been exposed as the murderer, and the police would take over the rest of the matters.
It would be better to hurry back and finish collecting the experimental data, so King could then leisurely go to Z City.

“Alright!”

Child Emperor pouted, agreeing with King’s proposal.
