(Fiana's character.) It hasn't appeared yet, but it's already been mentioned. The sin of gluttony, Belusep, the sin of jealousy, Liviatan, and the three characters have been updated. In the new building of the book review area. ）

(Three in one go, what else to say, reward and go.) ）

“......”

"Do you have any instructions?"

The next day, Auggie, who was assigned to assist Claire and Watson in their case, also brought the information investigated by the paladins with him.

But Claire just glanced at it, and her brow tightened.

Even though Augie doesn't talk much nonsense, that doesn't mean she doesn't have any human feelings, on the contrary, she cares a lot about what Claire thinks of the paladin's investigation and how much of a role it can use.

In addition, she actually had some doubts about the reliability of these two detectives, who had never been famous.

“...... That's really ......" Watson also leaned over to take a look, but quickly shook his head as well, "It's too hasty, the paladin's quick action is always used in the exact opposite direction." ”

"Is there anything wrong with this report?" the non-talkative Auggie felt the need to defend the paladins who had been investigating openly and secretly for a long time, "These are all paladins' investigation reports, and they are all inferred and implemented based on the facts. ”

"So you paladins are moving too fast, and it's not going to be good at all. Claire sighed, "Hey, sure enough, the police are all on the bad side, and I was expecting to save some trouble, but it turned out to be more troublesome." ”

“......”

"I mean it very simply. Seeing that Augie had some questions, Claire replied unceremoniously, "Your paladin's investigation report is indeed more comprehensive than the investigation of the two of us, but after the investigation, you made wrong judgments and quickly took wrong actions, which completely delayed the investigation of the case, that is, this case is more troublesome than the beginning." No, I'm going to ask that old immortal to raise the price for me, and I won't do it without a thousand hardware coins. ”

“...... Don't worry about money, but I want to know what's wrong with our paladins. ”

"The first is judgment. Claire spread out several reports, "Your report says that since the assassination targets are not commoners, all of them are dukes, so the preliminary judgment is that they are the remnants of the Blue Rose, but I don't have a problem with this. It's just that the next problem continues. After that, because you found out that all the victim's wounds were caused by the magic tube, you think that the murderer is a member of the Blue Rose magic team who used the handset, which is problematic. ”

"If someone who is using another weapon finds it, or is equipped with a handset, and is deliberately using a handset to confuse everyone's eyes. Watson tacitly took Claire's words, "Then the truth is another fact, but unfortunately, you paladins have done too much useless work in this regard." ”

Moreover, because of the conclusion just now, it also illustrates a hypothesis of existence. Claire tapped her pipe, "Since someone deliberately confuses her vision, then her behavior is basically to be seen by others, that is, the murderer is not necessarily only one person, but there is also the possibility that several people committed the crime, but the time of the crime does not coincide, in this case, it looks like a murderer did it." Unfortunately, you paladins have misjudged this as well. ”

“...... I immediately changed the plan......"

"It's late. "It's been a few days now, and we've missed the best time to investigate, and it's estimated that the other party has also figured out your paladin's actions, and a rash change will only make the other party alert, so don't make it more difficult for our investigation." Now you paladin's investigation action does not need to change, and you should not mention this matter to any of the people involved, of course, you don't have to follow us to investigate, the two of us, it is enough. ”

Soon, after getting Augie's assurance, Claire and Watson arrive at the scene of the first accident.

This viscount was the first of the thirteen to be assassinated, and unfortunately, because he was the first, he was also the only one to be killed by the murderer without any defense.

After that, the news spread, and the other dozen or so nobles who were alert, although some were still injured, were not to the point of death.

Because a few days had passed, and the deceased had to be buried to redeem his soul, it was impossible to see the original body. Unless you go and pick up the grave, pry the coffin open, but that's not what a normal detective should do.

Fortunately, in the investigation team of the paladin, there is a knight who is good at depicting the scene of the accident, and after the crime, she spent half a day painting a full-body portrait of the deceased.

"Did you get shot in the head......

Watson half-covered his eyes and looked at the portrait, "This painter's skills and heart are really good, it's a shame that she can draw such a realistic picture." ”

Indeed, the brain is not like in the novel, leaving only a bullet hole and a line of blood lying from the door of the brain, under the attack of the magic barrel that is more powerful than the musket bullet, the head of the deceased can only be described as "barely able to see the door of the brain", if the painting is colored, it is probably a disgusting scene of blood mixed with brain.

"Don't question people's enthusiasm for their work. Compared to Watson, who sighed in front of the portrait, Claire was looking at the study, and after constantly knocking on the wall, Claire nodded reassuringly.

Then she took off the pipe that was in her mouth.

[Detectives must be added in every case.] 】

[The detective's investigation must be meticulous and effective.] 】

“...... What are you talking about?"

Auggie couldn't help but be a little puzzled by Claire, who suddenly spoke to herself.

"You'll find out later. Claire turned and pointed her pipe at the wall of the room, "So I conclude that there is no passage in this room except for the door and the window!"

You can tell just by words......

As soon as Augie was about to ask his doubts, suddenly a red light filled the entire room, except for the doors and windows, which had not yet been encroached upon, and all the other walls were like spiders having webs with red web-like barriers.

And at this moment, Watson, who was squatting on the ground to check the portrait, also opened his mouth.

"At the time of the crime, it is not possible to use a device that has not yet been invented** or that requires an esoteric scientific explanation, so the victim dies of a ruptured head as if it were examined. ”

Suddenly, a phantom appeared behind Watson, and Augie knew the identity of the phantom.

Although his face is not easy to identify, judging from his clothes, he is the victim this time.

Immediately afterward, a hole was suddenly opened in the phantom's head, and it fell on its back, and all sorts of liquid that made Augie a little nauseous immediately flowed down the door of his head.

Could this be a recreation of the scene at that time!?

It was tempting to ask what method the two detectives were using, or what kind of magic they were using, but it was clear that it was better not to disturb them.

At this moment, Augie finally understood why Dean Frey had to give him a thousand instructions to cooperate with these two detectives whose names he didn't even know.

These two detectives are different from other ordinary investigators in that they seem to have the ability to dig up the facts. It's as if the truth has been turned into magic.

“...... Looks like it's gone. ”

After walking around the room again, Claire sighed helplessly, "Watson, where are you?"

"The truth that can be determined has been completely said. Watson also stood up, "Also, don't call me Watson......"

"Is it over?" Now that the first exploration work has ended, Augie naturally said the question in his heart, "Have you found anything?"

"It's just that the modus operandi was determined and that this was a secret room. "This is not yet a decisive condition, and no amount of 'true conjecture' can be determined." ”

It's unclear what Claire's "true conjecture" is, but Augie thinks he's probably retired from his job as an investigator by now.

"Keep the site safe and don't let people come in and out. Claire put her pipe back to her mouth, "Let's go and learn about the other victims' confessions." ”
