"Oh, it's obviously not easy, López. Looking at the iron warehouse in front of him, Holdes smiled and took the pipe off his mouth.

"I think you're right, it seems that we all underestimated the family's sense of security. López agrees with Jordès's point of view, because he can't take his eyes off the thick iron chain that is up to 10 centimeters wide: "I think I'll have to take back what I said before, and it's not bad to calm down and enjoy the scenery at this time." ”

"It's a bit difficult for me right now, and the pieces of the puzzle are messing around in my head. As he spoke, Holdes raised his palm and swirled around his own head.

"I hope they can guide you to the truth, I don't want to go to jail like that, if the food is good, I can consider it. As he spoke, López grinned.

"Trust me, López, you won't like it, the food there is like a moldy blueberry pie that is simply hard to swallow. At the same time, Holdèce once again stuffed the pipe that had been changed into his mouth: "Sometimes, clues are clues, but we must explore the essence, and not, just peek at the surface, and then start a tirade on our own." ”

"Just like most people stop at glitz, people's minds are always so easily influenced. Sighing, López raised his palm and rubbed the brick wall, which was not too thin, and could not be easily broken by brute force alone.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now, I'm always wondering, it's not something unbearable, but we can get out of here now and look elsewhere for clues. Turning back to López to express his thoughts, Holdés left with a cane.

This caused López to shrug his shoulders, but quickly followed: "Okay, hopefully this won't affect you too much." ”

"If it weren't for autumn, I'd definitely praise it from the bottom of my heart, the scenery is not bad, oh, my legs are extremely unfriendly to me every season, which is one of the reasons why I carry this cane. With that, Holdez raised his cane so that López could see better.

However, before López could reply, he saw Alfred coming here from a distance: "It seems that our noble knight has returned, and I hope he can bring back some useful information." ”

"I hope so, after all, I'm the only suspect now, which is somewhat unreassuring. With a smile, López stopped and just stood there.

"We haven't seen each other in a while, Detective Halleis. Alfred, who stopped in front of Haldais, gasped softly for a moment.

"Oh, I look forward to your return at all times, noble knight. In response, Holdais wanted to take off his hat for a noble salute, but only to remember when his palm touched the top of his head that his hat had died honorably.

"I'm honored for that, but I don't think you like the reassuring look on my face, don't you?" Laughing, Alfred pulled out his little notebook again.

"Well, let me see, the deceased's name is Kiri, she is about thirty-three years old, she is currently a dairy farmer, and she has a husband named Gna, who is about twenty-five years old, who is a priest by profession, and is now serving in the church in Azeritto. At this, Alfred paused, and then looked at Holdes, as if seeking its opinion.

"It's rare to see couples like this, but I can't say what I think right now, so go on, knight. Halleis, who had been immersed in the clues, looked a little dissatisfied by the sudden pause, but instead of getting angry, he raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

"Well, the couple only came here almost three years ago, and although their residence was far from the town, they made a deep impression on the villagers because of their generosity, and some people even thought that they were nobles somewhere, and they had always been very affectionate to the outside world, but one of the tavern waiters objected, because Qili often went to the tavern to get drunk. As he spoke, Alfred gently flipped the page: "Later, I used my authority to investigate, and found that the couple had emigrated from the town of Craigie, Gna was an orphan, and there was an old man in Qili's family, and her father and mother were ordinary farmers. ”

Speaking of this, Alfred gently closed the notebook, and it seemed that this was all the information he had obtained this time.

"I hope this will help you, but I must take my leave now, because there is a new case on either side that needs my support, and if you have any trouble, you can go to the garrison south of Azeritto, where I am always there. With that, Alfred turned around and took his leave, and before leaving, gave López a cheering gesture.

"Farmer, even low-grade purple trembling wood furniture, the price is at least more than fifteen hundred gold coins, if it is just this kind of family, there should be no reason to be so generous, is it that the profit of milk is already so great now?"

"Looks like our doubts have increased again, López. Smiling, Haldais walked back into the house with his cane: "Let me make sure that I have missed any clues, and after that, we may have to make a trip to the town of Girregi." ”

"I sincerely hope it will be a pleasant trip. With a complaint, López walked in briskly.

"Well, now it seems that this house no longer exudes a warm atmosphere, but is filled with a strange sense of atmosphere that does not match the identity of the owner. Smiling helplessly, López walked to the chair again and sat down.

"It seems that you are right about the warm decision, López. Haldes, who was carefully observing the scene, replied slowly.

"It's not quite like you, Detective Halleis, who can deduce the identity of the man with just a pair of boots, but it shouldn't be something to mention again, because the most famous detective in the kingdom is exchanging compliments with his temporary assistants. After saying that, López's gaze turned to the corpse not far away, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"Proper praise is always a good thing, López. With that, Haldais smacked his pipe again.
