The investigation quickly entered a difficult situation. Judge Saul fell into deep thought as he faced a large pile of information in front of him. He constantly recalled the information he gathered in the morning and finally made his final judgment.
"There's only one truth! That murderer is … is the most unlikely one. Yep, it's me! I'm the investigator! "
The young Saul wore thick glasses. He gently pushed them up, and something seemed to flash. His wise gaze had already pierced through countless obstacles and directly pointed out the truth!
"Wait, something doesn't seem right."
As if even he himself felt that this conclusion was absurd, he hurriedly took out his work manual and searched for the working rules that he should follow at this time.
His two companions exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly. After exchanging their gazes, the Dark Elf Anti- Knight Tiana directly spoke up.
"Forget it, I'll do the investigation. Originally, it was because you're a judge …"
The rest of the sentence didn't need to be said. It was already rare for a Dark Elf to show some mockery, and it was also rare to see a Goblin with a green face blush. To think that such a pure Goblin existed in this world. It was a rare treasure.
On the other side, even though it was only through Harloys's little trick of spying on Saul, I already had the urge to cover my face and cry. This … this was simply embarrassing for me! How could such a clown be sent to handle a case on his own! The military police? The political commissar? There's a traitor here!
"This is the person you brought out? This is the kind of trash your court and law school brought out? "
The silly cat didn't disappoint me and added insult to injury. However, I could more or less guess why he would make such an outrageous decision. In a way, it really did have something to do with me.
Don't misunderstand, I definitely wouldn't write a stupid rule like "If the murderer can't be found, the investigator will be the murderer" in my work manual.
"… He should be a student of the crash course. There is indeed a clause in the case handbook that says' suspecting everyone is the best solution to avoid logical blind spots', but he obviously misunderstood it. Either he was fooled by his seniors, or …"
* Clap. *
In his panic, Saul accidentally dropped another small book on the ground. The bookmark scattered all over the floor. However, the title of the book made me feel helpless — "Forever Detective Coco" by Roland.
"… Either that or I've been poisoned by those damned detective novels! Stop complaining. I know this is my own doing. How would I know which idiot would make such nonsense out of boredom into the "Roland Series"? This is just an entertaining detective novel. It's just for entertainment. Professionals shouldn't take it seriously! You even put in bookmarks and notes to use as a reference book?! The ever just Wumianzhe! Hurry up and drag this idiot back to the furnace to be reforged! I can't take it anymore! "
Mary, the Four Elemental Swordsman, couldn't stand it anymore. She picked up the novel helplessly.
She and Anti- Knight Tiana were already old partners. This time, they had to investigate the hidden "Death Council". Considering that they might need the assistance of a law profession, they had requested assistance from their superiors. In the end, they had been sent such a useless person.
"Isn't this a novel?"
"But didn't the seniors say that when we encounter a case that is too complicated, we can find inspiration from this novel? This was the work of that lord! I've learned more than three hundred ways to murder! "
I think I hit the wall, really.
"You've encountered those strange and troublesome killing methods in real life? Would a normal person use such a troublesome method to resurrect? It's really just an entertainment novel! "
[Pfft. How does it feel to be so trusted by a junior?]
"… As expected, it's your own fault again."
How does it feel? Right now, I really felt that I should've thrown these two into the Hades. I really couldn't take this double barrage.
Tiana and Mary looked at each other. Nothing needed to be said.
"Alright, as expected, newbies aren't reliable. Don't count on it. Do it yourself."
The two of them quickly organized the relevant information and began to talk about the case and the related parties. Goblin Sawyer also knew that he had embarrassed himself greatly this time, so he could only watch from the side.
"There were a total of seven sacrifices in the three surrounding towns. Many of the victims' families were sacrificed. The total number of victims was twenty-seven. In the past six months, there were twelve strangers. Among them, there were no guarantors or family members. Their actions were suspicious and obviously suspicious …"
The two female Knight and swordsman seemed to be in their twenties. I probably hadn't met them before. It was highly likely that they were only semi-newbies who had only been working for two or three years. However, they at least had the ability to organize files and information.
But …
"The owner of the bakery in the neighboring town is very suspicious. His wife was killed three months ago, but he didn't say anything. He wasn't sad at all. When we went to investigate, he kept staring at us. "
"Yeah, I think so too. When we suddenly turned around after we left, he was still staring at us. That shifty look in his eyes told me that he wasn't a good person. Perhaps he had a guilty conscience. Let's add him to the list of suspects. "
The two of them had a lively discussion. Even Harloys was a little hesitant as she asked me.
"Is that bakery owner really an evil cult member?"
"No. As for why his wife wasn't sad, you haven't seen his wife before. She looks just like an enlarged version of a goblin. Every time Old Mike gets drunk, he would cry about how he was forced onto the bridge by his wife's tyrannical daughter, and how he was beaten by his wife at home … I always felt that it was already very kind of him not to celebrate his wife's death with gongs and drums."
"Why was he staring at them? Wasn't it because he had a guilty conscience? "
"With a wife like that, it's normal for him to be a pervert who sneaks glances at beautiful women. Besides, it's their fault for dressing like that without any self-awareness. Didn't you notice that all those young men are sneaking glances at them? If we add them to the list of suspects based on this standard, it'll probably be filled up immediately."
In front of Mary's chest was the mercenary emblem of the Absolute Gentlemen Alliance. She was also wearing a female outfit prepared for the Four Elemental Swordcasters. The Four Elemental Swordcasters were magical swordsmen and didn't need to wear heavy armor for the sake of flexibility. After all, they could wear very little, and the higher-ups of the Gentlemen Alliance were all … Yeah, everyone understood.
The outer layer was a silver enchanted chainmail. The inner layer was a skin-tight shirt that was specially woven to accentuate certain parts of the body. The long red and blue windbreaker covered the entire body. Not being able to see it was even more eye-catching than seeing it. Rather than calling it a warrior's armor, it was more like an evening dress for a ball.
Overall, it was fashionable and modern, sexy yet not vulgar. It completely surpassed the aesthetic standards of this era, and was a rare masterpiece.
As for the Anti Knight, it was even more ridiculous. The elegant and beautiful silver armor covered most of the vital parts of the body, but revealed some unimportant parts, such as the absolute domain where the thighs and torso met. The arms revealed two fingers and elbows, the chest revealed the back of the neck, and the chest revealed the lower abdomen. The entire armor was completely different from the traditional barrel structure. However, the outer appearance of the armor made it seem like an elegant silver robot lady. The lines were elegant and gentle, and when paired with the parts that were revealed, coupled with the natural charm of the dark elves, it had a depraved sense of beauty.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of dark elves, daring to wear anything. Does this have nothing to do with you? "
The silly cat always had a sharp sense in strange places.
"… How would I know that they would really make it! This set can be made into two sets of full-body armor, seriously … "
"Waste?"
"Well done! My friend! "
I did my best to give a thumbs-up, and it was as if Adam's flashing smile appeared in the sky.
Why did it have to be Adam? Because I had only shown those designs to Adam, and he was definitely in cahoots with those fellows from the Gentlemen Alliance. He was probably the only one who could make the serious Diana decide on such an armor design.
Why did it have to be an illusion in the sky? I didn't think that Marguerite would spare his life after making such an item.
At this point, I was inexplicably looking forward to the uniforms of the Female Judge, Law Incantationer, and Justice Knight … But when I thought about how Lilith was probably in charge now, I felt an inexplicable sadness that made me feel somewhat disappointed.
"Wait a moment, Lilith's sexual orientation is a bit off! Perhaps it's a good thing! "
Cough, getting back to the main topic, judging from the mithril and rare alloys used, this equipment wasn't just for the sake of aesthetics. Its performance definitely wouldn't be bad. At this moment, the two girls were still arguing about the "suspects" that they were talking about, while Harloys began guessing with great interest.
"They're talking about that middle-aged guard from our town? The one who always glares at them with hatred? "
"No, he's just an old pervert. He's cross-eyed and looks at everything like he's glaring at someone. "
"The auntie who washes clothes by the river is also a secret watcher?"
"No, the others only want to ask where they bought their clothes, but they're too embarrassed to approach them. After all, in their eyes, these rookies are all important people. "
"That little apprentice from the tailor's shop?"
"Same reason. She wants to make two replicas and sell them for money."
"How do you know so much?"
"Hmph, they paid me to help them ask, and they sold the same information seven or eight times. They finally have money for today's drinks."
"You're so free … The guard of Phoenix Feather Town? He's always sneaking around the streets at night. "
"He's a hunchback, and he's on night duty. Is it a crime to go shopping or take a stroll at night?"
One suspect after another was listed. There were already more than thirty people on the other side's list, but I had already rejected all of them. Finally, the silly cat lost all her patience.
"Just who is it?"
"Ha, I …"
"Me?"
"I don't know! Don't bite me! Alright, let me explain. I've been leading the way for the past two days, so of course they wouldn't be able to find me. "
"You intentionally avoided the real culprit? Why? "
"Do you think I'm that free? The easiest way to find a necromancer is to have another necromancer look for me. The members of the Death Council definitely practice necromancy, and they have death magic on them. Even though I'm in such a weak state right now, I'll definitely be able to sense it as long as I face them. If I see them, I'll definitely cut them down with my sword. Since they asked me to lead the way, they naturally won't be able to find them. "
The silly cat suddenly fell silent. After a while, she squeezed out a sentence.
"Why do I feel like they're destined to be scammed the moment they met you? Are you sure you didn't think that their tips were good, so you wanted to earn more money for drinks? Are you sure you don't have any other methods to find that guy? Roland, why are you sweating? Are you feeling guilty? "
"It's hot!"
"It's autumn now!"
