(8.21 2nd Update)

Inside the palace, there was a strange tranquility, and the soldiers stationed in the city defense were checking our documents. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It turned out to be Count Bell, what service can I provide you?"

It was probably the person in charge of the area who came forward, and his emaciated face was even more cold.

"I'm here to verify something, the investigator hired by the royal family, Cabinet Colf, do you still have any memory?"

"Colf? Is that the vulgar one? I still remember it! When I was on duty yesterday, I saw him and looked in a hurry, what's wrong with him? ”

"I'm afraid I can't answer this question, even himself, and there is nothing he can do, after all, he has become a dry corpse."

I jumped out of the carriage and looked around for evidence that might have been left nearby, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

"What? He's dead? No wonder he would say such a ridiculous statement! ”

After a sigh of regret, the soldier recalled the details of the dying moment of this special person.

"Oh? What did he say? It may facilitate the progression of the case. ”

"The Count may know that in order to prevent such an ugly thing as theft, the carriages entering and leaving will be subject to strict examination, and yesterday I was on duty, and the carriage came slowly."

"Well, I've heard of this system, and maybe there is an illusion of contempt."

It was at that time that Colf said something very subtle: the fear of rebirth is coming. Because it's a ridiculous statement, it's still fresh in my memory, yes, that's it. ”

The soldier's tone was firm, confirming that something that might have been far away, but it was being practiced at this moment.

I dragged my jaw and analyzed Colf's words, as if he had smelled death, or had come to his senses.

"So, was he stopped at the gates?"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal after a few moments.

"Worthy of the earl, such a subtle matter has not escaped your field of vision, yes, it is the princess's chamberlain."

"I already know this, is the chamberlain you talking about the famous murderous Joseph?"

"Yes, he is also notorious and the old deacon of the princess, which lasted until more than ten years ago."

The soldier's reply was comical, full of a certain hostility towards me.

The trance-like thinking began to converge, as if the flaws in the problem had begun to gradually appear, and only revelation remained.

"So, can you tell me Joseph's address? He may be an important suspect! ”

"Okay, I'll check it out for you, if the registration is true."

The soldier walked into the hut and began to search for records, but ran out in a frenzy.

"What's wrong? Is it an inaccessible realm? ”

"No, it's the page about Mr. Joseph, torn up! It's actually within the scope of my duty! ”

I took the notebook, and through the blank space, I saw the panic written on the soldier's face.

"Hmph, don't be so pessimistic, after all, the opponent is a ghostly existence!"

I jumped into the carriage and skilfully manipulated the reins to steer it away from the drained soil. Leaving the soldiers in the new sunshine, moistened with a warm but cold atmosphere.

Turning back to the area of the Cabinet again, the patrol responsible for collecting the corpses has arrived, talking in a low voice.

"Earl, this is the post-mortem report, please check it."

On the thin sheet of paper, the situation is simply recorded, and behind the perfunctory words, there is a silence.

"Oh, just bury Colve's body for now, the soil should be loose enough to be dug up at any time."

The soldier on duty covered his mouth, very evasively rejecting the same breathing rate as the corpse.

I sat down on the well-patterned stone steps, and began to coherence all the fragments, but the more chaotic, mysterious the gloom.

"What was Bell thinking? I'm too embarrassed to interfere with your thinking, I'm afraid to interrupt the rhythm. ”

"Whew, it seems that the situation is very vague again, how are you doing over there?"

"I lurked in the courtroom, but I was completely shocked by the scene in front of me, and it was like that, an incredible display."

Omiritje let go of his curled palm, and the copied god fell into similar tears.

"Hmph, is this the lure of the mystery? More and more blurred, there is no way. ”

"Yes, this gem, there can be a replica, it's a kind of contempt for art."

"Soldier, do you have any extra items here? It's like this gem, whether it's hidden or not! ”

I questioned the guard who was cleaning up the scene, and he shook his head vigorously after distinguishing it, not daring to deny it in words.

"It's strange, if it's a continuous crime, then why is there a mistake?"

"Well, then there are only two possibilities, the replacement of criminals, and the exhaustion of resources."

Omirijie lifted the gemstone, and the radiant luster that radiated it irritated the eyes, and there was an urge to burst into tears.

"Do you know Mr. Joseph? He seems to be an important link, but his address was stolen. ”

"Joseph? Doesn't Bell know? He is a member of the cabinet and is about to retire! ”

"Huh? Do you know his address? Perhaps he is the key to solving the mystery. ”

The Greve neighborhood is home to a variety of luxurious houses, and number 4 is Joseph's villa.

The butler, who was pruning the withered plants in the courtyard, watched the approaching carriage and greeted him.

"Is Mr. Joseph at home? This is an emissary appointed by the royal family to investigate a murder case. ”

"Mr. is on vacation today, so he is reading in the study, but he hates to be disturbed on weekends!"

"Then you can only choose to create a little conflict to offend, for this kind of loyal steward!"

Even if he broke in, the butler was lying on the ground, and his so-called dignity was trampled on at will.

The style of the room is a brilliant luster, which is refracted repeatedly and then reverts back to the eyeball.

The hidden door, without the need to push it, was bloomed in the breeze, and sitting in front of him was a man.

"The Earl's way of invading is not like the tradition of the Bella family, and Lord Omiritje, ignoring this barbaric act of trespassing on private houses, is there your involvement?"

"Of course, I am also very short-tempered, so the butler who blames you is his own ignorance."

"Really? That's my negligence, I didn't manage my subordinates well, it won't be a superfluous disturbance! ”

Joseph's expression barely wavered, as if he had seen through everything a long time ago, but he was still suspicious.

"Since you have come to your senses, there is no need to hide it, where were you late last night?"

"Ah, the Earl is very strong, and the cold night will certainly not be in the wilderness, and I am here."

"This cunning humor should be restrained for the time being, what do you think of Colve's death?"

I tested Joseph's bottom line, and his wandering eyes never changed unexpectedly.

"As you two see, how about appreciating it in the way it is now?"

"Phew, you don't seem surprised, is it the foreknowledge that you captured in advance?"

"The trio of the cabinet are all contenders to participate in politics, and the beneficiary of their demise is actually me!"

Joseph did not escape from reality, yes, this kind of murder, for him, was always stable.

"Then I have a reason to suspect you, can you tell me about your criminal process?"

"Lord Omiritje is still as stubborn as ever, I don't think any stupid criminal would dare to admit his crime, and what about the innocent?"

"So, are you denying what you're doing?"

"Have the Earl's friends seen it clearly from time to time? I was just a pleasantry to Kolf. ”

Joseph's analysis made me a little flustered, and Fili's disguise was revealed in his eyes.

"So, can I know what you're talking about? Maybe that was his last word. ”

"He panicked, and he stared me straight in the eye, and it was a kind of helpless luxury, overflowing. The rebirth of the Netherworld! ”

The fact that it was mentioned again confirmed my reasoning that Colf should have sensed something.

"It looks like you're innocent, and I don't have direct evidence to accuse you, so I'll leave first!"

When I walked out the door, regret was the main emotion, and the cunning Joseph didn't seem to have any flaws.

Omiriya was stunned, as if she was thinking about something, but there was no answer.

"Doesn't Bell think it's strange? That Mr. Joseph was like a frozen zombie. ”

"His body is indeed stiff, but as a new generation of young people in the country of Cologne, that kind of existence is forbidden, do you want to say that he is a ghost?"

"Yes, but it's still a little strange, maybe it's just a conspiracy, waiting for us still."

In the garden, the insulted butler was like evaporation, and there was no trace of him in front of the attic window.

"Is this the fear of absconding? Bell, you're being rude! ”

"Passing the buck is not like your style, even if it is a soul, there is a feeling of crying."

Suddenly, a chill rushed over my heart, and my body took the lead in thinking, and I hurried back into the house.

"Bell, what's wrong? Have you not given up the judgment of the sophistry? ”

I kicked open the closed wooden door, and Joseph was still sitting there, his head drooping.

"You've been arrested, Mr. Joseph!" (To be continued.) )
