Act XLIII. Investigation and evidence collection

"Yes, that's what I wanted, we used gold leaf to create the cards, so that the guests would feel very noble and elegant, and the content was ......"

Early in the morning, Piram had a meeting with a few people in charge of cola production to discuss the next marketing plan, and before he knew it, he had made it the most important task at the moment, causing a lot of dissatisfaction among the management.

But Piram believes that by the time the news of the fire in Antoine's atelier runs in today's newspaper headlines, the fools will understand who the real boss is.

When the meeting was over, Piram came to the office, and the maid arrived just in time to deliver the day's paper, and Piram rubbed a handful of oil on the young maid's thigh, then sat down and opened the Daily Priest.

Headlines is the vicious incident that took place in the town of Lunamia, where someone used to try to attack several buildings in Old Street, but unlike what Piram expected, this crime failed.

From the report, it can be known that the magistrates of Priest have long speculated that someone will attack the old street in the near future, set up an ambush there, arrested the criminals last night, and is currently on trial, believing that the truth of the matter will soon be revealed.

"How could it be !?"

Piram carefully read the words again before finally putting down the newspaper.

"Although Sanderson is a hopeless fool, there should be no leaks in this operation, how could those sheriffs who eat white food expect this?"

Puzzled, Piram stood up.

It seems that Sanderson has been caught, and Piram doesn't expect that guy to keep a secret for himself, but he's certainly not stupid.

The record of Sandersen's theft of high explosives from the alchemy workshop had already been falsified, and various testimonies of Sandersen's hatred of Antoine naturally did not fall, and Piram had long been prepared for both.

If Sanderson succeeds, then there is no need to say much, but if he fails and is caught, then Piram will put all the blame on Sandersen, in fact, apart from face-to-face exchanges, Piram has not left any evidence that he instructed Sandersen.

Knock Knock Knock –

A servant knocked on the door as Piram paced back and forth, and spoke in a slightly timid voice.

"Lord Piram, you've been approached by the sheriff of Priest."

"Hmph, useless waste, can you recruit it in one night."

Piram sneered, then went downstairs to the reception room.

But unexpectedly, in addition to the two sheriffs in blue uniforms, Piram also saw Antoine, as well as two young men, a man and a woman.

"Antoine, it's great to see you're okay."

Pirampi said with a non-smiling smile, and looked at the young man and woman again.

"I wonder who these two are?"

"I'm the Headmaster of Crescent Academy, Reiner. Ian Gray, this is Claire, our school teacher. ”

Reiner didn't expect Piram to know him, so he spoke, leaving the boss stunned.

"The ...... of the Ian Gray Family"

Piram had a guess before, but when he actually saw it, he was still a little surprised, this Ian Gray was too young.

"That's all for the pleasantries, Mr. Piram, we think you have something to do with last night's Lunamia bombing."

Leslie said, then handed Sanderson's written confession to Pilam.

Piram didn't speak, silently read all the papers, and then smiled contemptuously.

"That's."

He paused, then spoke.

"Sanderson this guy is a hooligan, I just saw that he was clever enough to let him work with me, I am very sorry that he did this kind of thing, but I don't know anything about this, as for his confession, I think it is a false accusation, maybe you can go to his house to find clues, maybe you can find a tool to make explosives."

"Of course we've searched Sandersen's house and found some explosives inside, but it's not hard to forge them."

Leslie said lightly, as if she had become accustomed to this kind of scene.

No prisoner would admit to committing a crime, especially Piram, who had been misbehaving in the past, but had handled it well every time and found a substitute.

When Leslie and the others searched Sanderson's house, the evidence was naturally prepared by Pilam.

"I don't understand what you mean, Sheriff, I think you should have evidence for what you say, otherwise it will be a false accusation."

Pyram smiled slightly, he knew that Leslie didn't get the evidence, and he just came to test himself at this time, as he had done many times in the past.

"True, just my speculation, but I have another testimony here."

Leslie quietly took out another document and handed it over.

Piram raised his eyebrows at the title of the document, which was a transcript of the theft of the alchemy circle of Crescent Moon Coke.

He flipped through the documents, and through Sanderson's testimony, he clearly described the fact that he was instructed by Piram to go to Antoine's alchemy workshop to steal the alchemy circle.

"Therefore, the main purpose of our trip is to investigate this case."

Leslie smiled, seemingly kind, but there was a blade hidden in it.

"How will this be investigated, and how will I know if Antoine is going to take the opportunity to steal my alchemy circle."

Piram waved his hand, not wanting them to enter his alchemy workshop.

"It's very simple, my colleagues and I will come forward as notaries to investigate your alchemy circle, according to Mr. Antoine's testimony, he has hidden a signature in his alchemy circle, if Mr. Piram had developed your alchemy circle entirely by himself, presumably there would not have been this signature."

Leslie's words made Pilam's heart chuckle and worry a little.

It's not uncommon to leave signatures in your own original spells, but most signatures disappear after the spell is reconstructed, and of course Piram thought about this, so after Sanderson stole back the alchemy circle, he immediately reconstructed it, fine-tuning everything that could be changed, eliminating hidden dangers, and it was absolutely impossible to find out unless Antoine used some kind of more advanced signature.

On second thought, maybe Antoine was bluffing, hoping to show himself.

"Hehe, in that case, then please come with me."

Naturally, it was impossible for Piram to refuse, and he led a few people through the goldfully decorated corridor to his alchemy workshop, where bottles of Piram Coke were being filled, and the scale of the assembly line was much larger than Antoine's alchemy workshop.

Coming to the alchemy circle of a production line, Piram asked the alchemy apprentice to stop the operation of the production line, and then pointed to the alchemy circle at the core.

"Two sheriffs, please feel free to investigate."
