Chapter 428: Disintegration
While waiting, Warhammer finally decided to let himself sit idle, which was nothing less than a great good thing for Blackburn. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he was exhausted, but Warhammer laughed at him for it, and the latter seemed to be full of energy at all times. Ffeo was finally able to have a few more leisurely days, and he preferred to sit in the guild and drink a cup of coffee rather than accompany Schultz to practice swordsmanship. Even though Marcos was still nowhere to be seen, and the others hadn't returned because of their own affairs, the deserted guild made Maffeo sometimes feel bored.
When he decided to leave the guild one morning to find something interesting, Camilie coldly pushed open the guild door and walked in. She looked terrible, she didn't get enough rest from the long hours of following the investigation team to investigate the homicide, and she looked like she was covered in dust and fatigue. Although when she entered, she threw a good-natured smile at Maffeo.
Maffeo knew why she did this, the murder of Count Damian's daughter had so far not been identified, and all the evidence available pointed to the ghost swordsman. Of course he knew that Camilli believed it wasn't him or Marcos who did it, but who could guarantee that there really weren't any other ghost swordsmen in Hutton Mah? yes, not every ghost swordsman would be the same, and there would be filthy souls among them.
"Do you need anything?" asked Maffeo, believing that Camille needed a cup of coffee to relax her almost falling apart body.
"A cup of coffee, I'm sorry for you. Camille pulled over a bench and sat down in front of the wooden table, but even so, she remained dignified.
"Soon fine. Maffeo left the wooden table and walked behind the counter.
Camilli looked at Maffeo who was concentrating on making coffee with bloodshot eyes, and at that moment she actually felt that the guy's body was full of bloody violence. But she soon dispelled this idea, and she could not doubt Maffeo completely. She also knew that for Maffeo, neither Count Damien nor his daughter were strangers, strangers who would never be involved in a relationship.
"I'm really frightened, everyone on the street is wary of ghost swordsmen right now. If this continues, I may not have a place in Huttonmar. Maybe I should continue to wander, after all, that's the kind of life that a ghost swordsman should have. With a bitter joke, Maffeo poured the beans into the coffee pot.
"Have you been out all this time?" asked Camille.
"Yes, accompany our lovely Warhammer King to take care of some things. Maffeo laughed. "Although I had a bad impression of him when I first met him, I must admit that he never got bored when I was with him, and he always tried to stimulate you in various ways. ”
Camilli was a little stunned, as if this was a distant thing for her. For half a month, she spent time with suspicion, intrigue, and darkness. The team eventually collapsed due to mutual distrust, ostensibly due to differences of opinion. But the deeper reason is that because the deadline set by Count Damian to find the murderer has passed, he even wants to put a negative charge on everyone in the investigation team and send them to prison as a matter of course. Of course, he didn't, but everyone on the investigation team saw a clue from him.
"So, did the investigation team finally break up? It's sad, I thought you would be able to find the killer without a hitch. Maffeo shoved the coffee in front of Camilli and listened to her tell the investigation team.
"Most of the members of the investigation team are not members of the Principality, they are all foreign commissioners like me, and we all joined the investigation team voluntarily. Camille rubbed her temples lightly with her fingers. "The man who led the investigation team was a captain of the Principality's Guard and the general head of the guard work at the town hall. He is a good man, able to accurately grasp any clue that exists in the scene, and can also connect the actions of the prisoner through these clues. Unfortunately, due to pressure, he was forced to choose a side within the investigation team. ”
"Position?" asked Maffeo curiously.
Camilli looked up at Maffeo. "It's ridiculous to support the Ghost Swordsman as a murderer or to support the murderer as someone else, but that's what guys want to get paid well as soon as possible. However, in the end, none of the delegates were paid a single gold coin. ”
"I can imagine what a terrible situation it could be, but what about you?" said Maffeo, with a sympathetic expression.
"What choice do I have? I can only try to be neutral, but you know that being neutral means that I am gradually marginalized within the investigation team. So in the end, I chose to quit the investigation team, which was the wisest choice. And just a few hours after I left, the investigation team completely collapsed because of mutual distrust. Camilli said with a bitter expression.
Maffeo stirred his cup of coffee with a small silver spoon, contemplating the meaning of what the guys were doing. "I ...... If you were to give you any advice, I would suggest that you take a break and forget about the unpleasant memories once and for all. You are not obligated to find the murderer for the principality, and a failed commission proves nothing. ”
Camille smiled and shook her head, "You know what? I'm actually interested in the murderer of Count Damian's daughter. I don't care about success or failure, enjoying the process is the most important thing for me, even if it's not pleasant. So I think that putting aside all those mistrusts, suspicions, and conspiracies, it may be smoother for me to investigate alone, or it may become more dangerous. But that's fun, isn't it?"
"I didn't expect you to say that, but now without the resources that the investigation team has, the investigation will be much more difficult. Although Maffeo knew that Camille would not give up easily, he tried to dissuade Camille.
"It's not a big deal, and I took notes during the course of the investigation. Camilli pulled out a crumpled stack of parchment from her pouch, filled with any clues the investigation team had gathered, and those clues would have almost completely restored the entire crime.
"Wow, well done, Camille. Maffeo appreciated, taking the parchment and taking a quick look at it one by one.
"I will investigate based on these clues, and in fact, there are many places I can go to related to the crime, but the clues at the crime scene are very limited. ”
"All I can say is, good luck, Camille. Maffeo spread his hands and said apologetically.
"I know you're going to have to deal with something with Warhammer, and I'll take care of it. Camilli responded.
"Anyway, now, you can at least have a relaxing time and relax your body. By the way, the decorative vegetation at Celia Lodge has become more beautiful, and I think you will be interested in taking a look at it and choosing to stay there. Maffeo laughed.
"It's good to hear that. ”
