"Remember Weiss?"

Marella didn't know why she heard the name.

"Who's that?"

She didn't look like she was playing stupid.

"You must know her! She was a member of the maids' team, your student. He also has a throwing knife technique that is as beautiful as you. However, he was expelled from the maid team because of his improper negligence in protecting the family members......"

Marella's tone was visibly nervous: "It's Vivien...... Have you seen her?"

It turns out that Vissy's real name is Vivien.

It's true that it's a good option for people to go incognito when they change their lives.

Eric nodded.

As if reminiscing about the past, Marella's eyes drifted into the distance: "Is she doing well?"

Eric hesitated, but couldn't tell the truth.

"Honestly... Not so good. ”

※※※

Eric immerses himself in the palace of thought......

Io lost five games in a row under the manager's shuffle.

What does that mean?

The manager hates Io.

He wanted to make Io miserable.

But he could have killed Io in the dark. Even if you want to torture him, you can do these things behind the scenes, and do whatever you want.

But the administrators prefer to make Io suffer inhuman torture on the casino game stage, and at the same time for everyone to enjoy.

It can only show that his hatred for Io has gone deep into the bone marrow.

He's going to make Io suffer from game after game, slowly decaying and festering. He wants to keep Io alive until one day he can't bear to die on stage.

But where does this hatred come from?

The answer to this question would require consideration of what Io had done to the administrator.

First of all, based on MONOCULUS's repeated judgments, it was confirmed that the manager was the guy who fought Io at the second scene of the attack on the police.

He wanted to kill the police and kidnap the prisoner alive, but suddenly encountered Io, who came to obstruct him. And this ruined his plans completely. Unable to win immediately, he had to shoot Weith in order to prevent her from being taken to prison and tortured to reveal unfavorable information to the Order.

This is enough to show that he is loyal to the crows.

Wrong. There must be other clues in it.

What did Io's appearance change, and what did his appearance make different?

That's right.

The life and death of Weis.

That's why Weiss is extremely important to managers!

Io's presence forced him to kill Weiss.

Although Weiss died at his own hands, subconsciously he thought that Io had killed Weiss!

That's why he hated Io to the core, and hated him so much that he was going to be tortured, and life was worse than death.

The relationship between Weiss and the manager is probably unusual.

Perhaps, the identity of the manager can be investigated from Weis.

Eric wakes up from his palace of mind. He inhaled heavily, like a man who had been diving for a long time had just surfaced.

Perhaps, this time he will be able to touch one of the crow's feathers.

Io will never have an accident anytime soon, because the stewards will not let him die until they have tortured him enough.

But Eric can't allow Io's life to be consumed in boring, ugly games!

He immediately left the fifth floor with Arvin.

Downstairs, they met Newsom and Bell, who were still waiting.

"Hurry up and call the people from the police station! That manager has nothing to do with the police attack!"

Eric said to Newsom.

In fact, he should have done so early at the beginning of the game. It's just that at that time he was still worried about Io's fingers. Now it seems that this is really a superfluous move.

While Newsom didn't understand how Eric had judged this information, he didn't ask rhetorically. Because Eric's face looked so solemn, he had to do it right away.

"Yawen, stay here. The police will come to Io's rescue. Bell, promise me not to be impulsive. You don't want the future of the secret police to be ruined in your hands. ”

Bell nodded.

"Where are you going, Eric?"

Arvin asked Eric.

"There was a survey I needed to do. That's important, for Io, for the secret police. ”

※※※

Not as a last resort, Eric didn't want to come to Marella.

After all, he had promised Viss not to reveal her status to Marella. But just to inquire about her past should not be considered a breach of promise.

Previously, Eric had interrogated the hospital staff who worked beside Vess in order to find out the crow's network. However, they did not provide any valuable information.

They didn't know what organization they belonged to, or who was around Vessy. They didn't know anything about it except that she was the hospital's talker.

When Weiss was in the hospital, she was always a loner, a loner, and refused to let others go thousands of miles away.

So, to find out who Vess had a close relationship with in the past, Eric had to try his luck with her former teacher, Marella.

"Marila, the stakes are high, and I hope you can cooperate. ”

Eric looked Marella in the eye all the time as he spoke.

"Vivien's child... Did you do anything bad?"

Vivien, or Vis. She used to run a narcotic powder business in the hospital, and of course she did bad things.

But Eric lied: "Don't worry, I'm just investigating someone who used to be very close to her." And I couldn't find Vi for a while... Vivian herself, so she can only come to you, and ask her past teachers. ”

"Really... That's good. But how did you know I was hers... Yes, you will know it when you look at her flying knives. ”

The bland answer made it unclear whether she believed it or not.

The perceptive Eric accurately captured the haggard glimmer in Marella's eyes while scolding himself for his own stupidity.

Remember that Weiss said that Marella knew her character. Plus Eric says he's seen her throwing knives. Marella wasn't a stupid woman either, and she certainly understood the story of someone who had seen Vivien's knives and had a relationship with Vivien.

Thankfully, the six-pointed star didn't plan to expose the detective at this time.

"So, do you remember some of the people you used to be close to her? except, of course, you. ”

"I have to think about it. You know, that's been a long time coming...... Can you give me some hints. What exactly do you want to know?"

It seems that without revealing something, Marella will not let him get his wish.

"Does she have any particularly good friends? Especially after she's been expelled, you might be able to get in touch with her. ”

"I want to... Not really. Her personality is not likeable. ”

Eric asked, "What about the lovers?"

Marella was stunned when she heard this, and she stared at Eric: "I'm afraid you wanted to ask this question as soon as you came up, the previous one was just to divert my attention?"

"I'm sorry. But she does have a lover, right?"

"Yes, there are lovers. And I know him. ”

Eric's eyes lit up.

"Want to know his name? First of all, tell me, what the hell did he do to Vivien?"

Marella's words are irrefutable.
