"Long time no see, Knight Alfred. Haldeis, who had just walked into the garrison, saw Alfred sitting in a chair chatting with others.

"It's been a few days, Detective Halleis, how is the investigation going?" asked, and Alfred patted the shoulder of the man sitting across from him before raising his foot and walking towards the two men at the door.

"I've got a lot of clues, and now I'm sure that the kidnapping of Edwin and Anaïs Erdes in the town of Girej a few years ago has a lot to do with them. After answering Alfred's question, Holdès asked his own question: "Yesterday López and I went to the cabin again, only to find that the body was decomposed, uh, I don't know?"

Haldais didn't go on, for he couldn't say anything about the reproachful question, but Alfred should be able to understand it.

Alfred, on the other hand, only after a brief moment of thought did he reply, "Rot, this is not a possible situation, and I will let Leandro go there to deal with it the night you asked me." ”

Rubbing his chin in confusion, Alfred turned around and walked over to the person who had been chatting with him before: "Let me introduce you, this is Leon Rhodes Amarar, a third-class priest affiliated with the kingdom. ”

"Hello, I'm Leon Rhodes Amaral, and I performed the embalming of the corpses of the wooden house. When Alfred's words fell, Leonrod Amaral stood up from his chair.

"Holdes, it's a pleasure to meet you. After saying hello, Haldais straightened his suit: "Can you describe the scene at that time?" ”

"López. Seeing the way Leonrod Amaral looked at him, López also opened his mouth to declare his name.

After listening, Leon Rhodes nodded at Lopez before speaking: "At that time, I had a mission, but because the direction of the wooden house was just on the way, I didn't shirk it, but I can be sure that my magic must have been applied to that corpse, although I didn't confirm too much because of the time constraints." ”

"Okay, I got it. At the same time, Holdeth took out his parchment book again: "Qili's body can be buried, and it will be difficult to see any clues after that." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this in a moment, but do you still need to investigate when you get back to the cabin, Detective Halleis?" asked, Alfred rubbing his forehead.

"Oh, of course, before the truth of the matter is discovered. Smiling, Haldais took a hard puff of his pipe: "By the way, has your relationship with your wife eased somewhat?"

Halleis's inquiry made Alfred even more helpless: "Maybe there is, maybe not, but I might have to stay in this damn place for two more days." ”

"Regrettable answer, but my wife and I used to do that when we were younger, and even now, it's a regular occurrence. In this regard, Halleth is more eloquent than when he was handling the case: "Also, Knight Alfred, I have another matter for you, which is about the warehouse next to the wooden house, and I may need to go in and investigate." ”

"It seems you're not paying attention, my dear Detective Halleis. In response, Alfred smiled, "Two days ago, that chain was perfectly disposed of by our knights, well, although the process was not very satisfactory. ”

Hearing that there was another clue to be found, Holdeth seemed to become a little anxious: "It looks like I have something to do again, and I think we have to say goodbye again, hard-working Knight Alfred." ”

"Sure, I'd love to see you look like that, Detective Halleis, but you shouldn't mind waiting. When the words fell, Alfred turned around and called to several knights in the garrison: "Just take this opportunity to go and dispose of the corpse, if it really rots, the smell should not make people feel at ease." ”

"As much as I love industrious knights, may we ask the opinion of Kiri's mother, Lady Rosameia Baddam?" Holdais, who was also a believer in God with Rosamia Baddam, understood the importance of burial of the body.

"This matter, we can think about it, but we have to transport the body to the place where the church is placed, and then see what is causing the magic to not work, and then embalm it again, and then we can carry out a series of things such as notification and burial. ”

The clouds reflect the sunset, the sky is red like drunk, setting off the deepening twilight, the autumn wind carries the coolness of autumn, with the twilight layer of the forest is impregnated, the fallen leaves flutter with the wind, the beauty of sorrow, rises suddenly.

The shadow of the setting sun casts a faint afterglow on the grass in front of the old house.

"Hopefully, my unreasonable demands won't burden them with too much work. Sighing, Haldes looked up at the back of the knight pushing the small wooden cart in the distance.

"It's a necessary thing, but I'm more worried about Lady Rosameia Baddam, and I hope she's not too sad. Affected by Haldez's mood, López also sighed.

"It's a hard thing for Lady Rosamia, well, we should have more important things to do now. As he spoke, Holdeth shook his head so that he could concentrate his mind more.

"Oh, of course. In response, López gently pushed open the wooden door of the warehouse.

The warehouse was not old, but it was full of common tools, some iron buckets, haphazard stacks of gloves, rusty cattle slaughtering knives, and thick ropes, iron picks, and shovels.

But the first thing that caught Haldais's attention was the chain in the corner that looked like a dog, and the graffiti next to it was a snake around a sword.

"It seems that what they use to hold milk is not a glass bottle. As he spoke, López raised his hand and pointed to the barrel at his feet.

"Well, it seems so, and now, the ownership of that glass shard is once again a mystery. Turning his head to look at the barrel, Holdes nodded at López, but then his attention returned to the graffiti and the chain: "What is the meaning of this graffiti, López?"

Looking at Haldez, who was pinching his chin and frowning beside him, López looked a little disapproving: "Some kind of cult, or just ordinary graffiti, or the bad taste of this couple, seriously, why don't you ask Gna, Detective Holdes, maybe the dangling pendant on his chest will give you the answer." ”

"Of course, you can also go to the dream diviner for divination. ”
