(It's been super annoying these days because of trivial things at home, and it happens to be the part of writing reasoning, hey.) {3w. helpless.} ）

"Ah, Kreel, can you be quiet. ”

As soon as Watson took Claire's spoon away, Claire, who had been transformed into Demon God mode, grabbed it back again, although he wanted to let Claire eat it like this, but this guy who didn't seem to have eaten for a few days was not only ugly, but also loud.

Watson was now very skeptical that he would want to work for a detective like Claire, and it was free. Nia Van Dyne may be superior and arrogant, but at least she won't be in this situation.

"Don't, don't disturb me to eat, I want to eat my own, I'm not short of money today. ”

Claire didn't even look too much, and waved his hand as she stuffed the spoon to signal Watson to do what he liked.

"It's not a matter of disturbing your meal, can you be quiet, I can't even hear what they say?"

"They?"

"That's what the guests at the table behind you say. ”

Watson lowered his voice, "You eat so loudly, it's all overpowered." ”

“...... It turned out to be a woman. ”

After raising her head suspiciously and looking back for a moment, Claire's face unconsciously became unkind, "When you sit and eat with a beautiful girl detective like me, you still have the heart to think about other women, and in front of me?"

"You...... Where else do you dare to call yourself a beautiful girl other than your face......"

【Bang】

"I said two ......"

Lilith, who was even darker than Claire, slapped the table with her hand, "This is a regular restaurant, not a couple's restaurant. Flirt and whisper to me. You're making it hard for me. ”

"Hear no Watson. Be quiet!"

"Why me?"

"Anyway. Xiu En loves you to go home to show, even if you show up in bed, it has nothing to do with me, but don't be in the restaurant. ”

Relying on the difference in status, after throwing off a bunch of words that ordinary maids didn't dare to say at all, Lilith, bathed in the terrifying eyes of the other guests, shook her hand and left, without even giving Watson a chance to defend herself.

However, his relationship with Claire is indeed easy to misunderstand in the eyes of others.

I was disturbed by Lilith who suddenly appeared. Watson was no longer in the mood to inquire about what was being said, but Claire, after the storm swept away the paella for two, looked at Watson with a meaningful gaze as she wiped her mouth.

"You ...... guy"

With a tacit understanding, Watson immediately understood what Claire meant, "You like to make a fool of yourself so much?"

"It's you who have to shout, eat and eat, there are fun things, how can I let it go. ”

“...... Okay, so what did they say. Watson lowered his voice. "I'm far away, so I only hear it at night. Empire is a scattering of words. ”

"I don't know if it's a rumor, in short, the past two days have not been peaceful. ”

"Those people are saying pretty much two things, the first of which has happened something similar before, and that is that in the Empire, there are assassins who hurt people everywhere at night. The second thing, which has only recently appeared out of nowhere, is that there is a war in the fortress to the north, but fortunately, the human defenders have repelled the orc attack several times in succession. ”

"It's not like a rumor. Watson was silent for a moment, "The first thing happened not long ago, and that assassination incident had a lot to do with Blue Rose. As for the second one, it shouldn't be considered a rumor, after all, it's not something that is unfavorable to the empire. Moreover, since these facts can be transmitted to the point that ordinary people can know, it means that the credibility is already very high. ”

And even if Watson didn't say it, Claire could sense that they didn't look like rumors. Because of the successive defeats of the orcs, the remnants of the orcs or Blue Rose in the empire began to act in retaliation. This causal relationship is existential.

"Let's ask someone involved in this first. ”

The first thing that came to Kreel's mind was the stunned Augie who was bluffed by his and Watson's words, and if it was her, she would at least tell herself something.

These two things, on the surface, are not very related to the investigation of Alia, I wonder what choice Nia and Faye will make?

When Claire and Watson hurriedly found Augie, the paladin, who didn't talk much, was sitting at the table reading a book.

"Ahh

The moment he saw Claire and Watson, Augie showed the panicked expression he had seen for the first time Crell had seen, and then took the book in his hand behind him.

What is the book...... I care.

"We're here to ask about some of the rumors. ”

Claire's eyes followed Augie's hand, but after noticing Claire's fulfillment, Augie immediately panicked and hid the book deeper.

Forget it, for the time being, let's leave Augie reading alone.

"Auggie, do you know the two gossip that are spreading on the streets?" asked Claire, "one is the man in black who hurts people at night, and the other is about the army in the northern fortress. ”

"Well, according to our paladin's investigation, it's all rumors. ”

Augie nodded, and at the same time stuffed the book hidden in her hand into the drawer with lightning speed, as if she was more concerned about the safety of the book in her hand than the rumors.

"Then why don't you clarify?"

"There is no need to clarify. "It is not a bad thing that the defenders have repelled the rumors of the enemy one after another, and besides, we cannot completely clarify this rumour, which is spreading more widely." ”

"What about the man in black who hurt people, could it be the enemy's retaliatory action?"

"It's not certain yet, but what is known is that the gangsters did not want to take people's lives. ”

Augie's face was also full of doubt, "So far, there has only been one wounded, and the injury is a minor shoulder injury, most of them were just scared, after which the gangsters took their money and left." ”

"Isn't that a retaliatory act?"

"Well, it shouldn't be an act of revenge, because there were no casualties. ”

Augie nodded, "But if you characterize it as a thief, the man in black is too agile, and her actions should be more for robbery." ”

"Well, well, then we're going to take our leave. ”

Although there was still a little doubt in his heart, Augie also seemed to have told the whole story, at least from the current evidence, he couldn't have anything to do with Arya anyway.

It's just that although the two things are not connected, it is too much of a coincidence to choose this time to happen. (To be continued......)
