The sky was gradually dawning, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray.

The fog gradually dissipated, and the eastern sky had a little red light, and the clouds next to it were also dyed slightly pink, and then there was a skyline like a fish's belly white.

López, who had had a bad night's sleep in the town of Giregi, slowly got up from his soft bed.

Yesterday's harvest was fruitful, but it didn't bring any joy to the table.

He suddenly realized that even if he had seen the dawn of light, he would never be able to swim out of the boundless dark ocean, and the never-ending battle would be far from changing the world, and all he could do was not let the world change itself.

"Light is only a short-lived flower, and darkness is the eternal soil, but it is precisely because of this fleeting moment of light that beauty and hope are born, so although we all come from darkness, we are destined to yearn for light in this life. Seemingly just muttering to himself, Holdez pushed the warm cup to López: "It's not as good as Carlo's black tea, but you might need this." ”

"May God be with us. ”

After a brief silence, Haldes took the parchment book from his pocket, opened it, and began to examine its contents:

Kiri Hemmert, kidnapping killer.

Dorosie Heimt, who broke up with Kirly Heimt because he liked Gna, ran away from home and never returned.

Gna, who entered the town church of Gireji six years ago to study magic.

Gna, although there is no direct clue, is very suspected of being involved in the kidnapping case.

"I hope Viscount Silvano Odes remembers me, otherwise being turned away is not a glamorous thing. Drinking the warm water from the cup in his hand, Holdès quickly stood up.

The cold breath made López shrink back.

After raising his hand again to gently close the open window, he turned around and prepared to leave: "Well, Detective Halleis, I hope Viscount Silvano Erdes's memory is not so bad, at this time, knighthood is not of much use." ”

"Only this matter, please don't get too much hope, we only have one side, or at a banquet that I can't even name now. Putting the pipe in his mouth again, Haldez said with a smile.

The sun shone into the town, gilded with an orange-red layer, shrouded in cooking smoke rising slowly, the occasional birdsong, and the excitement of last night's dream, the pedestrians coming and going in the streets, hurriedly chasing the passing time.

The rising sunlight shrouded the vast forest, and through this lush forest, through the dense branches, you could see an old castle surrounded by many thorns and roses, the old castle seemed to be quite old, and the high black walls were crawling with dark green vines, all of which were about to enclose the windows.

"It's more remote than I imagined, but it's really full of life. Leaning against the heavy walls around the castle, López raised his hand to pluck a small piece of grass.

"Hello, I'm Holdais, and I want to visit Viscount Silvano Erdes, can you please let me know. Holding his hands on the closed gate of the castle, Haldais asked aloud to the maid who was working inside.

"Okay, Holdes. The maid silently muttered the name of the well-known detective, and then quickly turned and ran back to the castle.

"Hopefully we won't have to wait too long in a castle like this where we get lost in the toilet. As he spoke, López rubbed his forehead helplessly, after all, this is a complex building that takes ten minutes to go out.

Haldez, on the other hand, quickly took the pipe off his mouth and stuffed it back into his pocket: "The Viscountess is allergic to tobacco, which is why I have a relationship with Viscount Silvano Erdes, and he toasted me and begged me not to take out my pipe during this time. ”

"It was pretty bad news for me, and it's no different now. Then, a sigh reached López's ears.

"Hello, Detective Halleis, Viscount Silvano is waiting for your visit at the castle, and now I will lead the way with you, and I beg your forgiveness. As the heavy locks were opened, the maid respectfully conveyed the message.

"Oh, of course, it's an honor to have such a beautiful lady show me the way, Holdes. Nodding slightly, Holdes expressed his gratitude.

"Yes, my name is Isabella Orsini, you can call me Isabella. Once Jordès and López had passed through the gate, Isabella Orsini locked the gate again.

"Please follow me. With a polite smile, Isabella lifted her leg and left.

After a long and gorgeous journey, López and Jordès finally arrived at Viscount Silvano's room: "Viscount Silvano is in this room, then I will retire." ”

With the knock on the door, the sound of slight footsteps slowly sounded in the silent room.

Soon, the wooden door mixed with white and gold gently opened from the inside: "Long time no see, Holdais, I wonder what you are visiting so suddenly?"

Silvano Erdes' hair was gray, with only a few blonde hairs that had not yet faded.

The broad chest and well-defined muscles are difficult to match with the full head of gray hair.

"I'm sorry, Viscount Silvano, and although I have no intention of bringing up your heartache, I am here to investigate the kidnapping of Ling Ai. Taking a deep breath, Holdeth cautiously revealed the purpose of this time.

Revealing someone's scars is not something that will make the other person happy.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you, that was many years ago, Isabella, I'm a little tired today, send it off. Obviously, Silvano didn't want to talk about the previous events, which was an eternal nightmare for him.

"Wait, wait. Seeing the maid standing in the corridor in the distance walking briskly towards him, Haldais hurriedly continued: "A few days ago, Qili's body was found in Azeritto. ”

It seemed that this was quite effective, and after a moment of stunned, Silvano raised his hand to stop the maid who kept coming to Halleis: "Come in and talk about it, but I don't have any good tea for you." ”

Then, Silvano turned and walked into the room he had been in.

"Thanks, but I still have to say sorry. With a sigh, Holdès walked in with Lopez on his feet.
