[If the questioner's answer cannot be determined to be true or false, all of the questioner's words shall be regarded as neutral evidence that cannot be judged.] 】

[Unless it is evidence that can be determined by truth, it cannot be determined by real evidence.] 】

The dead do not lie, so the information obtained from the dead is more credible than the dictation of the living. 】

Although they already believed that the two people in front of them were really capable detectives, the answers they made to the questions they asked them still made Augie a little unacceptable.

Although it is not incomprehensible, the methods of these two detectives to solve the case seem to be fundamentally different from the Paladin's investigation team. I think I'm more careful...... Or is it that these two detectives, where they pay attention, have gone beyond ordinary investigators, and what they are mostly investigating is the truth behind the case.

"Ahem, with that said, it's time for us to go in and investigate the survivors' confessions. After finishing her speech, Claire put her pipe back to her mouth, "By the way, you're qualified as a true detective, would you like to learn magic from me?"

"No, I still have the position of Paladin. Augie politely refused, "And I can already take on this kind of thing by myself." ”

"It's not a detective, it's a 'true detective', a detective with real strength as a magical strength. Hey, forget it, I don't think you're interested. Claire shook her head, "Watson, let's go inside." ”

"Don't call me Watson......"

Except for the first viscount who was shot in the head because he was a bird, the rest of the nobles escaped because of the murderer's overly cautious methods, and the first object of Kreel's inquiry was the least injured earl.

"Count Bolt, are we? we were commissioned to investigate the murderer. ”

Although the middle-aged nobleman lying on the bed looked a little painful, Claire still made a request mercilessly, "Please try your best to cooperate with our investigation when we still have time, and besides, this is your wife here, because it is secret, so ......"

"You ......"

The woman whose face had not yet dried her eyes was naturally very angry when she saw that her husband was being forced to do so, but surprisingly, the nobleman who was lying on the bed in the next moment shook his hand and motioned for her to leave the place.

After touching her tears again, the woman, who looked like an angry little daughter-in-law, had to hide her face and leave the room.

“...... Mandatory investigation, I said Claire, True Detective Authority is not what you use. Watson held his forehead, "Can you use the normal method to investigate next time?" ”

"Count Bolt, now I would like to ask you a question. Claire ignored Watson's words, "Please answer carefully, first of all, you are the least injured of the remaining twelve surviving nobles, may I ask, when were you attacked, where was the place, and what were you doing at that time?"

“...... On the day after the death of that viscount. Bolt's face became even more painful at the mention of this, "At that time, I was worried that I would also be affected, so I told my knights about it in the courtyard, and it turned out to be ......."

That's when he hit the jackpot.

"Hey, you're in luck, at least not the first. Claire sighed, "So then, are you sure you were attacked by the murderer who attacked the previous viscount?"

“...... I'm sure that after that guy committed the crime, we nobles have already gotten the general information about the murderer, although I can't see it very clearly, but I think it's the same person. The hand of the magic cylinder, and all are cloaks, blondes, women. ”

“...... I ......"

"Wait, Kreel. Just as Claire was about to take off her pipe, Watson tugged at her sleeve, "It's too early to tell, let's go somewhere else." ”

“...... I see, let's get out. ”

"Wait, I'm asking some. ”

Watson asked, "Did you see or feel the murderer after this and find you again?"

"No, no. The next victim became my best friend, as if that guy wasn't going to do it to the same person twice. ”

"Thank you for your cooperation, we will do our best to investigate this case. ”

In the second investigation, even if Augie didn't ask, it could be seen from the frowning brows of Claire and Watson, one was holding his chin with his hand and lowering his head, and the other was holding a pipe but smoking desperately. In short, it seems that there must be no substantial progress in the investigation of this nobleman.

Since this is the case, then in the next investigation, it is not very possible to get useful information from other nobles, after all, there is no need for these two detectives to ask, the paladins have already asked once.

Now, we can only hope that these two detectives will judge any new clues from the clues they already know.

After making a decision, Augie agrees to take Claire and Watson to visit the second surviving nobleman's house. However, at the moment when he was about to step into the courtyard of the nobleman's house, the sound of glass cracking from the window made everyone stunned for a moment.

The woman with the cloak was blonde, as could be seen from the hair color of the hair that flowed out. And then more importantly, the magic cylinder she was holding in her hand......

Assassin of the Blue Rose!

No, maybe it's the assassin of this incident!

"Hush. ”

There was no need to shout meaningless words such as "stop, stop", and the moment Augie drew its scabbard, Augie's long sword had already turned into a golden bow. However, the Assassin who jumped out of the window was even faster than Augie, and I am afraid that she had already seen the arrival of the paladin through the window while she was in the room.

Therefore, the moment she jumped out of the window, the muzzle of her magic barrel was already aimed at Augie.

If it's just a normal musket, it's no problem to block it with armor, but it's a magic barrel, a bullet mixed with magic......

"Damn it!"

In desperation, Augie had no choice but to turn the holy sword Katina into a large shield covering his whole body, but he also lost the best opportunity to pursue. Sometimes, the habits that come with years of combat experience are really not a good thing.

If it weren't for this subconscious defense, maybe the mastermind of this incident would have been caught at the cost of injury.

It's an assassin who is close at hand...... Just let her go......

"Hey, Watson!"

"...... [The woman who jumped from the window has a reason why she can't be public!]"

"[This woman has an inseparable connection with this case!]"

As Watson's figure turned into a blue shadow and flew out suddenly, Claire's words seemed to give him magic, causing Watson to grab a golden sword out of thin air.

"Investigation permissions, plane shifts. ”

If this is teleportation magic, then in Auggie's opinion, it may not be too exaggerated, but in an instant, Watson has already jumped behind the assassin.

Suddenly sensing the danger, the Assassin turned around and aimed the barrel at Watson.

"Hey Watson! It's not true enough!

"Hush. ”

Watson had no choice but to twist his body forcibly in the face of the magic cylinder that was close at hand, and the purple bullets flew out of his forehead, and the sharp air even left a shallow blood mark on his forehead.

“...... Two handfuls!?"

“......”

There was more than one magic cylinder, and just when Watson had dodged the attack of the first magic cylinder and his body was no longer under control, this person actually pulled out another magic cylinder from his back with one hand at this moment......

Moreover, it is even a longer magic cylinder, which is already at the level of a spear in terms of length.

However, the Assassin, who was about to press the trigger, suddenly pointed his spear in front of him, and at the same time, the purple magic bullet collided with the arrow fired by Auggie.

However, this time the Assassin could no longer threaten Watson again, and after landing on a tree, the Assassin rose into the sky like a bird and quickly disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

The members of the magic team are not just musketeers who can use magic cylinders, but mages who can use muskets. Today, Augie finally realized it. Because the flying spell just now is not something that an ordinary magician can do.

“...... Call. ”

"Hey, you're alright. Seeing Watson fall on the grass and roll a few times, Claire hurriedly ran over, "Obviously not real enough, you still have to rush over, I thought you were just planning to threaten." What if you hang up?"

“...... I won't hang up until I pay you off and fire your squid. ”

Taking Claire's hand, Watson got up from the ground, "Let's not mention these things first, the next investigation is meaningless, I have made a lot of new discoveries just now, although I can't be sure yet." Lord Augie. ”

"What do you command?"

Augie still seemed to be concerned about the Assassin who had just fled, and kept his eyes on where it had departed.

"Let's investigate what happened in the mansion first, and then send more people to protect the nobles who were injured earlier, maybe the Assassins will visit them again. Finally, it's important to find me and Krell and tell us the route of the previous assassination. ”

“...... Understand. ”

"Kreel, let's go back first, there are still some things I want to talk to you about alone. Watson paused, "Very important. ”
