"The world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. ”

Frey sighed as she searched the shelves in the room for the books Claire had mentioned.

"I thought someone would finally come to visit me, but it turned out to be for my book. It's so sad......"

"Old woman, I think you should hurry up and find someone to marry. ”

Claire raised her head while sipping the tea made by the Heroic Spirits, "You don't have to worry about finding a man, legal Lori, no matter how much Lori Control wants to find it, as for age, as long as there is love, it's no problem." ”

"Ahem, don't chew your tongue here, I already have someone I like, and I'll always wait for him to come to me. ”

"Old cows eat young grass? Oh no, it should be a calf chewing old grass?"

"Give me a few words of nonsense...... Something you want. Frey threw a yellowed stack of books in front of Claire, "Speaking of which, you detective, what are you doing all of a sudden looking for the history of the Blue Rose?"

=.

"No comment. ”

“...... I'm several times your age, do you really think I don't know?"

Frey's voice lowered, "What did Lilith ask you about? Is it related to Blue Rose?"

"Investigate one person, I can't say anything else. ”

Seeing that Frey had already guessed most of the time, Claire had to abandon the pawn to protect the car and keep the most important privacy.

"The war in the north has just ended, and she is so busy...... I don't feel tired either. ”

Frey muttered something and buried her head in the book, but one of her words caught Claire's attention.

"Now, old woman. You mean. Lilith her. Just after returning from that castle-like fortress in the north, you entrusted us with this task?"

"That's right, when she came back, she ran straight to me and asked me if I knew a detective with a double ponytail and a tall assistant, and I thought it was you who I should say, so I gave her your address. Frey said, "Looks." She was supposed to be inquiring for the commission. ”

"Hey, old woman, wait. ”

Claire lowered her head and thought for a while, "Speaking of which, I really haven't said much to Lilith with my employer this time, what kind of person do you think she is, old woman?"

"What kind of people......? Clever. ”

Frey gave the answer without hesitation, because even if Lilith didn't say it explicitly, Frey vaguely felt that this time the orcs suddenly withdrew, and the remaining three parts of the fortress were all defeated, which had an inseparable relationship with Lilith who was running around.

"I don't think you need to know anything else. But she must be a smart child. ”

Is it smart?

Smart people are necessarily self-confident, although some of them can turn into conceit because they are smart. But Lilith didn't look like that.

Since she is confident, she has a clear understanding of her own strength, and if it is something that can be done, then she will definitely not give it to others, but now Lilith has given the trust to the detectives......

"There's one more question, old woman. ”

Claire continued, "Watson and I didn't go to the fortress and didn't know anything about the situation there, so can you tell me more about how the orcs withdrew? If it weren't for some special reason, it would not have been possible to retreat suddenly. ”

"The reason is also because of Lilith, at least I think she has a large part of the relationship, and the final withdrawal should be because there is no way to surround it anymore. ”

"I see. Claire nodded.

All the questions have been asked, and what Frey said proves at least one thing, that is, Lilith's suspicion of Arya is not unreasonable.

Although Lilith gave Alia information from the beginning of this commission, and made no secret of her suspicions of Alia, but in the absence of evidence, suspicion is suspicion after all, and it cannot be taken seriously. All evidence must be inferred from the premise that the person who does not know who the Blue Rose is.

And Lilith didn't choose to investigate on her own, and the rapid withdrawal of the orc troops can show that most of the people of Blue Rose are by Lilith's side, that is, Arya is also suspicious.

Although I thought about it for a long time, it seemed that the progress of the investigation had not moved at all, but in fact this was a big step forward. A detective who deduces from absolute facts cannot have the slightest doubt in the process of finally telling who the murderer is.

At least now, I can already investigate Alya without hesitation.

"By the way, Claire, isn't there a lot of competition between you detectives?"

As Claire flipped through the information, Frey suddenly raised her head, "I feel like you two can't even eat." ”

"You know what old woman, it's because we work hard, so we don't have time to take on too many jobs. ”

"Well, speaking of which, one of your peers is going to hold a small banquet in the near future, you know?"

"Peers?"

An ominous premonition instantly crawled all over Claire's body, and said that instead of accepting the commission properly, there would be a companion who would have such a banquet, and no matter what, he could only think of one person......

"Don't tell me it's the Detective Rogue Nia Van Dyne. ”

"Well, that's her. Frey nodded, "I was sent an invitation in the morning, and to be honest I hate dealing with nobles, but it's boring to stay in a place like this. ”

Aristocrat?

Nia Van Dyne is not a fool who only cares about pleasure, as a detective, she is still very active when she should do things, but the invitation was sent today, which means that at the latest yesterday, Nia planned this banquet......

It shouldn't just be just eating and drinking, since it's a banquet, according to Nia's status, there will definitely be many nobles to cheer up, because although the heart is violent, but the appearance is elegant, and the beautiful face of Nia, she has long been pursued by many men because of the perfection of soft and hard conditions.

Could it be that Nia Van Dyne wants to take this opportunity to ask Alia, who has never met and has no way to meet directly, to make an appointment with a banquet, and then use the banquet as an excuse to investigate?

Although it is a bit of a scoundrel, it seems that this is indeed an investigation method that people with deep pockets came up with, and I, and Fei, can't do this kind of process at all.

"Naa, old woman. Claire leaned in front of Frey.

Since I can't invite myself, there are still other ways.

"Can you lend me that invitation of yours for half a day?" (To be continued......)
