Whispering Verse

"Don't noble ladies commit crimes? The gentlemen at the police department seem to think that Mrs. Lasoya lived a corrupt life and got involved with a group of cultists who fled to the local area at some point. Detective, you also know about evil spirits. Cultists always find companions for themselves.”

Miss Bayas took out a notepad and pen from her handbag, and asked while recording:

"The Redwich Field has investigated that Detective Sparrow Hamilton died of a sudden illness. So after his death, did you follow Mrs. Lasoya, how many times, and were you discovered by her?"

"I only followed her once and was not discovered by her."

Shade answered honestly.

Miss Bayas nodded, moved her eyes from the notebook to her finger, looked at her ring, and asked again:

"Did you notice anything wrong with her?"

"No."

Shade once again told the truth that he had only noticed something wrong with the young man who was carrying the relic [Metamorphosis Ring].

Seeing Miss Bayas looking at the ring again, Shade asked quietly in his heart:

"Is that ring a relic?"

[You feel the ‘whisper’. 】

The woman's voice came belatedly, and Shade guessed that the ring had the effect of identifying lies, but the effect was probably not strong, and it was completely ineffective against him in the afterglow state of divinity. At least so far, the young "police officer" Miss Bayas has not seen the detective's flaws.

"Detective, is your visit to Lakeview Manor on Sunday related to Mrs. Lawrence?"

After that, he added:

"We found out that you and Mrs. Lasoya were both present there."

"It's irrelevant. I was invited by Baron Lavender to play Rhodes. There are many people who can prove it to me. At least dozens of people saw me grabbing good cards under the grape trellis."

A confident expression appeared on his face, and he was confident of this fact.

Miss Bayas lowered her head and recorded:

"Rhode, card game, okay... So, have you seen Mrs. Lasoya in Lakeview Manor."

"I saw her from a distance, when she was with Mr. Lawrence. But because the commission has ended, I didn't pay much attention to them."

Shade was still thinking about how to act more like him, so he asked curiously:

"Did something happen? Why did Mrs. Lasoya suddenly get involved with the cultists? There were some riots at Lakeview Manor on Sunday. I left early at that time. I don't know what happened."

But the young "police officer" did not answer directly.

Miss Iluna Bayas looks very young. This does not refer to the other person's age, but to the way she does things. She currently only has a second level, and according to Priest August, the Five Gods Church does not allow a first level sorcerer to join the level sorcerer team.

Therefore, the young brown-haired girl probably did not carry out a few missions independently, and in the follow-up investigation of this incident, the Church of the Sun only assigned her the simplest and safest job.

She has now come directly to the home of the person who finished the Lakeview Manor incident. Although the outsider is not very old, he still has no problem dealing with such an inexperienced girl.

Shade was also very fortunate that his role in this matter was not obvious, so the Zhengshen Church did not send those experienced ring warlocks.

"Speaking of which, did you encounter anything unusual during the banquet at Lakeview Manor?"

Miss Bayas asked again.

"I seemed to have met a group of people near the garden maze, but my memory afterwards was a little blurry. Maybe the wine was too intoxicating."

Shade responded skillfully, and Miss Bayas blinked and avoided the topic:

“Have you ever met anyone in a burgundy formal suit?”

"I saw it from a distance near the grape trellis in the garden. That burgundy formal suit looked very fashionable. But I hate red coats, thinking they are a bit...feminine. I like black ones, which look dignified. some."

Shade made a thoughtful movement, saw that the other party was taking notes very seriously, and once again tried to take the initiative to steal the topic:

"Miss Bayas, you are always asking about Lakeview Manor. Did something happen that day? I checked the newspaper later, but the only thing that happened nearby that day was an earthquake, and the earthquake obviously could not have been caused by man. "

asked the guy who caused the earthquake.

"Detective, you'd better not know too much about some things. Generally speaking, the kingdom and the church will not disclose information about cultists to the public. Do you understand?"

Miss Bayas hinted, and Shade immediately made an expression of realization.

"So, the dinner party at Lakeview Manor really happened..."

"So, when you submitted Detective Sparrow's investigative report to Mrs. Lawrence, did you give her all of it?"

Miss Bayas asked seriously again, wondering what the detective opposite was thinking.

"Yes, you can ask Mrs. Lawrence for the report. This kind of investigation report contains the client's privacy. I cannot keep a backup. This is professional ethics."

Shade said, and then received an unexpected reply. Miss Bayas looked regretful:

"In fact, Professor... Ridwich Field has discovered the investigation report in Mrs. Lawrence's belongings."

"Relic?"

Shade was startled and leaned forward. This time it was not a show. He killed Mrs. Lasoya, and it stands to reason that Mrs. Lawrence should be fine.

"Mrs. Lawrence is dead? How could it be?"

"Yes, probably in the early hours of Tuesday, Ridwich Field received a report from the Lawrence family's servant. Mr. Lawrence disappeared and his wife died tragically... I think I'd better not describe the scene to you."

The lady with long brown hair said cautiously.

"Who did it?"

Shade asked, and Mrs. Lawrence had only officially met him once, and the relationship between the two parties was nothing more than entrustment and entrustment. Even strictly speaking, the person entrusted was not Shade, but Sparrow Hamilton.

But he remembered the 13 shillings Mrs. Lawrence had paid, and Mrs. Lawrence's kind advice before leaving. There are countless people in this world, and Shade can only interact with some of them, and Mrs. Lawrence is considered a pretty good one among the people he interacts with.

He really felt sorry for this lady's tragic death. I wanted to say something at this moment, but all the words were stuck in my neck. He had not thought about the cruelty of cultists and illegal organizations, but he could not have imagined that the lady would end up like this.

Miss Bayas just shook her head:

"There is no conclusion yet. We suspect that Lasoya's accomplices did this cruel thing. After all, she has... Back to business, is there any document related to those investigations in the office? , I need to take them all.”
