10. Urging

"I can't find any superfluous doubts. x.”

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the nobles to talk separately, Claire hid behind the crowd and observed Arya who was entangled by Nia for a long time under cover, but even if Nia was intentionally or unintentionally creating opportunities for her and herself, Claire still didn't find any decisive factors.

The blue rose that was about to wither on his head? However, although roses and roses can sometimes be said together, this is not fundamental evidence, and if the other party insists that it is just an interest, there is nothing you can do about it.

It's really annoying to know that there is a problem, but you can't come up with evidence.

"Since you can't find any suspicions, let's go back first. ”

Watson lowered his head, "The two of us are too conspicuous on this occasion, and we are not the ones who can enter here. ”

“...... That's it. ”

Looking at Nia, who was still talking to Arya, Claire had no choice but to give up, "Until the last moment, I really don't want to use that kind of method to lose my dignity." ”

The method of losing dignity in Claire's mouth is very simple and easy to understand, and not only her, but even Nia and Fei must have this kind of preparation. That's the desire to get away with it.

Take Alia's suspicion as an established fact, and then use it as an excuse to negotiate with her, and the moment she admits it, the truth is completely clear.

But this is not a crime, but a shameful fishing, which will not only expose Lilith's identity as an employer, but also an insult to the profession of detective. As a last resort, no. It's just a last resort. It is also not possible to use it lightly.

"Claire?"

Just as Claire was about to leave. Suddenly there was a whisper in my ears.

It was Lilith's voice, but ...... Isn't her person leaning against the window, looking out at the night?

"It's just a little trick, you stay normal, don't make a fuss. ”

Lilith's voice continued to ring around Claire's ears, and from Watson's usual expression, it seemed that only he could hear it.

"Did you find anything? Conclusive evidence?"

"Does that rose on your head count?"

Claire lowered her voice, "Roses and roses can sometimes be confused, and the rose on Arya's head happens to be blue. ”

"If this evidence is confirmed, what else do I need from you?"

"And what about the dress that Arya is wearing? It's approaching winter now, and these people all put on their coats when they came, and they all took off when they arrived at Nia's house, but. Nia was the only one who came in without a coat. ”

"Are you so sure?"

Lilith's voice was silent for a moment, after which she turned around. Glancing towards where the coat had been placed, "I remember you came late, and Arya had already arrived. ”

"The weather, when wearing a coat, most people's hands are exposed, not covered by the coat, after entering a warm room and taking off the coat, the skin at the junction is obviously abnormal. I've observed, and only Arya is the same as ever, so I don't think she's wearing a coat. ”

"I think Blue Rose used to be a country in the north, so people there were generally hardy because of the climate, and Arya fits that. ”

"Aren't you afraid of the cold? But this is not evidence to determine a person's suspicion. ”

Lilith turned her back on her back, "Anyway, don't think that the time I've given you is long, I can't wait long. In the past few days, I have received information that a foreign tribe has infiltrated the country, and your work may be much more dangerous. In addition, if you detectives really don't make any progress, then I won't wait for you, even if there is no evidence, I am not willing to let go of a suspected person. ”

“...... We'll do our best. ”

Lilith's words are like an ultimatum, the employer will arrest the person without waiting for the detective to solve the case, just like the police arrest the person they suspect without waiting for the detective to find the murderer. It's understandable, but it's a disparagement of the detective.

Lilith must not be allowed to do that.

"Thanks for the reminder, we'll leave first if it's okay. ”

"Ah, there's a reminder, if Arya is really the same as I think, then you may be in danger when you investigate, I don't know what your "real" power is, but if there is no evidence, you will definitely not be able to fight well. Please be careful when investigating. ”

Hit a stick and give a candy ......

Claire silently swallowed the words, and quietly left Nia's house with Watson, who was waiting.

The night sky outside didn't know when the snow had fallen, covering the original ground with a layer of silver, and to Claire's surprise, in the midst of this snow, Fei actually stood on the side of the road with an umbrella.

Silver-haired and white-dressed, with an umbrella dyed white by snowflakes, although she looks very much like an elf in the snow, but unfortunately, her profession is not as elegant as an elf.

"Fei, why are you here?"

Even with a thick coat, Claire could see that Faye was shivering from the cold air outside, and coughed lightly from time to time.

Is it because you can't get in without an invitation? But why do you come here when you know you don't?

"Waiting for someone, a reliable friend. Accompanied by Fei's voice, a burst of white mist slowly rose, "I asked her to ask Alya a few words for me." Lilith, why ......"

"Fake invitations, ah, you're really, just come to me directly, let alone an invitation, I can get you a stack. ”

For this somewhat scoundrel method, Fei just silently shook her head and refused.

"Is this banquet really held by Nia for the purpose of investigation?"

"Well, that's right, and what kind of scoundrel is her birthday. Claire smiled bitterly, "This guy dares to lie in any panic for the sake of investigation." ”

"Judging by your expression, it seems like there's no progress?"

"Well, even if that's the case, what is found is not much evidence. ”

Claire thought about it, but still hid the fact that Lilith was actually the employer of the three.

This battle between detectives is not a child's playhouse, and everyone will have a few killer moves.

Even if it was Faye, Claire didn't think she would give everything she knew to herself. (To be continued......)
