Almost instantly, Arthur found the memories of his predecessor about the 'Sword Fighting Competition' and the 'Axe Killer'-

Every three years, a contest called the 'Sword Fighting Competition' is held in South Los Angeles, where participants are required to use bare hands or cold weapons, and must not be more than 20 years old, and the winner will not only receive a considerable prize money, but also be eligible to go to the inner bay to participate in the South County Sword Fighting Competition.

If you have outstanding strength and win the championship of the Nanjun 'Sword Fighting Competition', you will be canonized as a 'knight' by the Grand Duke of Nangun.

The knights, out of the ordinary civilian class, have crossed the threshold of nobility.

Even if it is the lowest, even if everyone is talking about the 'decline of the old nobles', every 'sword art conference' is enough to make all those who meet the requirements come and go.

Because, this is glory – if luck is good, a small fief will be a testimony to 'glory', even if it is subject to taxation.

The predecessor was also obsessed with this, not because he wanted a fiefdom, but simply wanted to be in the limelight!

Arthur, on the other hand, is much simpler.

He wondered if there was XP to be gained.

As for the 'Axe Killer'?

That was the most sensational event in South Los recently!

The other party is a murderer who appeared in Nanlos two months ago, and every time it rains heavily, the other party will appear in the night to chop innocents with a wood axe and plunder property.

As far as Arthur knew from looking through the memories of his predecessor, the murderer had killed eleven people, including the murder of a family of five.

The police arranged several times, not only did they fail to catch the other party, but also killed a police officer.

It's a real police officer, not a so-called patrolman.

This frightened the people of South Los and the wealthy rushed to hire bodyguards, causing the price of South Los Security to rise.

As for the poor?

With no extra money, they either choose to close their doors or work in groups on rainy nights to reduce the danger.

It can be said that in addition to the rumored 'Ripper', the 'Axe Killer' is the most sensational case in Nanlos in recent years.

"Such a case......

If cracked, there will definitely be a lot of XP! ”

Involuntarily, Arthur thought.

For Arthur, who is now desperately short of XP, any action that can earn XP is worth serious consideration.

And while Arthur was sitting there thinking quietly, the sheriff who had explained to Malinda that the Credos family was a liar for a long time, but still did not let Malinda dispel the idea of continuing to ask for help, once again pointed the finger at Arthur.

"Even the most inexperienced young man in my subordinates is better than this liar!"

As he spoke, he glared at Arthur, his cheeks flushed, making him look like he wanted to eat Arthur.

"No!"

"I believe that Mr. Credos is not a liar!"

"He's a real medium!"

Malinda shook her head, then took the Clarion supplement from her pocket and handed it to the sheriff.

"Just a little trick!"

The sheriff sneered, clearly disapproving.

In the eyes of the other party, publishing in the newspaper to expand its popularity is an old method of the Credos family, and it is not worth caring about at all.

"And what just happened!"

Malinda confronts the stubborn sheriff and begins to tell about what just happened, about Dokule's curse.

Arthur didn't care about such a story.

He knew what the lady meant: to get rid of suspicion completely.

In Arthur's view, whether this lady insists on believing in the psychic medium, or argues with Sheriff Lauke at this moment, it is just to get rid of suspicion.

This was the other party's plan.

Especially at the moment when the lady took out the Horn supplement, it proved all this.

The other party accidentally saw the report about him published in the supplement of the Clarion newspaper, and guessed that Dokule would come to him next, so there was the scene that had just happened at the door.

To Arthur's surprise, the disdain in Sheriff Hank's eyes began to diminish as the lady spoke.

Finally, when the sheriff looked at Arthur again.

A touch of coldness suddenly appeared in Arthur's heart!

This discomfort immediately made Arthur's muscles tense all over his body!

Is that......

Shadow of Death!

In the Talent Bar, Death Intuition begins to flicker.

At this moment, Arthur's heart was full of astonishment.

When he confronted the sheriff's sword just now, the other party didn't even think about killing him, even if the other party was extremely angry.

The other party was just scaring him, but now the other party only heard Malinda tell in detail about his curse of Dokule, and he actually hid his murderous intent.

The other party has something to do with Dokule?

Wrong!

Not Dokule!

If it was Dokule, when the other party saw Dokule's body, it would not be so calm and casual!

So......

The other party began to really believe that he was able to curse others, and thus guessed that he had the ability to communicate with the dead!

If that's the case, that's interesting!

Axe killer?

Hey, axe killer!

Arthur raised his eyes and looked at Sergeant Lauker as he turned his head.

At this moment, he is thinking about what to do to maximize his benefits...... No, it's XP maximization!

And Sergeant Lauke, who had no notice of any of this, shouted—

"Coincidence! That's just a coincidence! ”

"There's no way Dokule died of a curse!"

"He just didn't see your carriage for such a tragedy to happen!"

At this moment, Sheriff Laugh argued with Malinda again, just like just now, and even his expression was not bad at all.

Even if Arthur had a guess, at this time, he had to admire the sheriff's acting skills.

Because, anyone who sees it, will only sigh for the stubbornness and persistence of this sheriff.

It's like the lady in front of you.

Still, the woman's stubbornness is also amazing.

"Thank you very much for your persuasion, but I still want to try - not just because of Anna, but because of many more potential victims.

If there's an opportunity, why don't we give it a try?

What if it succeeds? ”

Once again, Malinda looked at the sheriff sincerely, and this time, the sheriff looked a little relieved, as if persuaded by Malinda's statement that "no more victims will appear".

"I'm afraid it's all just a waste of time!"

The sheriff muttered, then looked at Arthur.

"Lady Caesar wants to believe you, but I won't!

If I found out that you cheated on Ms. Caesar...... Hum! ”

The sheriff snorted, bowed to Malinda, and turned to leave.

However, the sheriff did not leave, but worked with the patrol officer outside Gate 2 of Kirk Street to dispose of Dokule's body and questioned the Scott trio and the coachman Edwin.

During the whole process, the sheriff not only patiently instructed his subordinates, but also did not let go of a trace of suspicion when questioning, and was just persuaded by Malinda's so-called "no more victims", the other party behaved extremely competently.

It can be said that it perfectly fits the sheriff's personality.

Arthur, who was silently watching the scene, smiled.

"It's really in line with the sheriff's personality!

If that's the case, I hope you can stay the course! ”

Thinking in his heart, Arthur looked at the sheriff who was already preparing to leave, and said with a smile-

"Sergeant Lauker, please stay."
