The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

"Suggest?"

The somewhat arrogant future detective's expression froze and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Obviously, he slandered Riber for his actions by an outsider to guide an insider.

"You can, go and investigate two places..."

Riber simply described the locations of the two plot trigger points in words.

No hand movements are required to avoid further attention.

"If you think there is nothing special about these two places, you just need to take a casual glance, and it won't take long. As for the time limit, it must have come by now. However, you delayed for a few minutes because of me, so I'll ask that vice-captain for some more time."

Listening to Riber's words, Chris was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly showed a grateful look.

Chris felt that everything in front of Riber was nonsense, and it was a pavement for buying him more time later.

He didn't expect that among the rumored domineering and tyrannical old aristocrats, there was actually someone like the Earl.Beneath the cold exterior is a warm heart.

"Time is up!"

Sure enough, the deputy captain's voice sounded at the right time.

After sending Chris away, Riber moved to the vice-captain, buying more time.

As for Chris, it was as if he had been inspired. He swept away the previous gloom on his face and re-invested in the investigation of the case.

...

...

Amidst the quarrel between the vice-captain and the Earl, Chris returned to the scene of the crime.

To be precise, this is not the place where the crime took place, but just the place where the corpse was dumped.

After all, it takes a lot of time to turn the corpse into its current shape, and various parts and liquids in the body will be splashed when doing it, making the scene look more like a hell on earth.

But overall, there was a sense of "quietness" at the scene.

Therefore, this seemingly remote but easy-to-discover corpse dump adjacent to the square is just a booth for the murderer to display his work.

However, what gave Chris a headache was that the knights who were in charge of investigating the scene couldn't seem to analyze such an obvious thing.

They were really just in charge of "investigation", and recorded all the details of the crime scene by drawing pictures as much as possible.

The reason is that I don't use the camera that has become quite popular recently to take pictures.It is because there is not enough light in the alleys, so if you want to take pictures, you must move a large lighting machine.

In other words, Chris actually obtained more information and clues than the knights who "perfectly performed" their duties.

However, none of these things are convincing.Whether it is trying to find the murderer through them, or convincing the Knights to allow him to participate in the follow-up, it is difficult.

Therefore, even for the sake of the Earl who is willing to trust and support him even though it is the first time they meet.Chris, have to come up with something more convincing.

First of all, Chris followed the earl's words and came to the place instructed by the other party.

Although, he still didn't think that the old aristocrat who was pampered and aloof on weekdays would have the observation ability of a "famous detective" like him.But at least, he has to put on a show.

It's just that after he actually observed the place pointed out by the count, his actions would only be "first", not second.

Looking at the "water stain" on the ground, which was so light that it almost disappeared, Chris was keenly aware that this mark was very abnormal.However, what could this water stain represent?

Chris, who couldn't get an answer in a short time, just memorized these, and then moved to the second place the earl said.

Then, this time, after probing for a while, Chris's expression instantly changed from doubt to an idea as if he had been struck by lightning.

Combined with some information he found earlier, it all connected!

But immediately, Chris's expression became unbelievable and unbelievable.

Since, the Earl's hint allowed him to find the key to breaking through the fog.Doesn't it mean that the Earl can actually find out the truth through these clues?

Do not!

wrong.

The detective's sense of smell made Chris realize that things would not be so simple.

Because, just providing clues does mean that the earl also has the ability to solve the case.

But the Earl found more than just clues.Instead, it pointed out specifically for him what he was missing.

It was as if the Earl knew exactly what information he needed to solve the case.

Solving cases by oneself and manipulating others to solve cases by oneself are not the same concept at all.

In particular, the two parties themselves are strangers, without any mutual understanding and tacit understanding.

Chris couldn't imagine how terrifying the power of observation the Earl possessed was to make everything about him seem transparent.

Is this "The Realm of a Detective"?

It's just a monster...

Chris sighed again.

However, he didn't feel fear, but clenched his fists, feeling an extremely intense sense of competition for the earl.

His teacher once told him that although he can solve unsolved cases many times now, there is still a gap between him and a real famous detective, and he lacks key things.

And Chris felt that this "key thing" might be in the earl who met by chance.

...

...

At the entrance of the alley, Riber and the vice-captain were in a fierce battle.

"So, he was delayed because I called him in for questioning. For this kind of force majeure, what's wrong with making up for the time he should have? From the beginning, your excuse was because the Knights You are busy with things, so you can't spare too much time to mess around with the detective. However, you have spent more time arguing with me than you should make up. Why, I didn't see where you are busy?"

With this inflexible vice-captain, Riber really got angry.

After coming to a different world, Riber has actually been living in fear all the time, and can only regulate his emotions through inner activity.

And now that they have temporarily left the Church of Scourge and the Death FLAG, the negative emotions accumulated unconsciously in the past have turned into quarreling words and erupted.

He was tempted to say that even football games have stoppage time.However, it is not sure whether there is anyone in this world who plays football.

"An agreement is an agreement, and rules are rules! Even if all members of the Knights are on vacation today, 5 minutes is 5 minutes!"

The deputy captain shook the pocket watch in his hand, pointed his finger at the pointer in the watch, and confronted Riber tit for tat.

"Rules? It is indeed a noble quality to follow the established rules and conventions. However, if you are too rigid about these things, you are just using them as an excuse to escape, and using them as a convenient weapon. Just attacking others! You care more about your stubbornness than catching the murderer!"

"Hmph, are you still ashamed to say it? Your words sound like what you old nobles are doing! You..."

"Please don't quarrel with the two of you!"

Chris, who came out of the alley, suddenly shouted, temporarily interrupting the red-faced Riber and the deputy captain.

Under the displeased gazes of the two of them, Chris, who had a sense of arrogance before, lost his momentum every time he took a step. body.

The future famous detective is a little cowardly... no, he can bend and stretch!

It is not shameful to bend down in front of the vice-captain of the knight order and the earl.

Under the constant gaze of the two, Chris first took a deep breath to calm his mind, and then spoke again in a calm tone,

"Although I am very sorry for the ancestors who were regarded as bets by me... But this time, I lost."

Chris sighed.

Hearing Chris's words, the vice-captain of the Knights woof... laughed out loud.Riber couldn't help but frowned.

Dueling is not dueling, name is not name, Riber was not interested in it from the beginning.

What he cares about is, does Chris admitting defeat mean that he will not arrest this prisoner?

"However, Vice Captain, the reason why I conceded defeat was not because I failed to solve the case within the time limit. It was because... I didn't realize that this case was actually not a stage for our duel from the very beginning. "

Chris shook his head and looked into the distance.

And Riber frowned even more, because he couldn't understand what the detective was talking about.

Is it reciting poems or singing or falling ill?

"Although I don't know whether the Earl wants to keep a low profile and not be famous, or he wants to give me this opportunity. Therefore, he is unwilling to solve the case himself, but through me...But, as a detective who finds out the truth, I can't hide this matter, and then selfishly let this reputation that doesn't belong to me fall on my head."

Riber looked at Chris puzzled, and a bad premonition had already appeared in his heart.

"Actually, Mr. Earl has already completely solved this case long before I came, right?"

"???"

Looking at Chris's already pretty girl-like face with a sincere smile, it looks even more feminine.

At this moment, Riber wanted to pick up a question mark with his backhand and smash his monocle.

Volume 45: Chapter [-], the prisoner is you!

"No..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Like him..."

Before Riber could express his opinion, the vice-captain became excited.

During the previous quarrel, Riber still felt that this person was quite annoying.However, listening to his roar now, he definitely thinks that the other party is like his confidant.

"Before I prove it, why don't we find out the criminal first?"

Chris did not flinch in the face of the pressure from the vice-captain,

"Because the prisoner is among us now!"

At this point, it was obviously time for detectives to solve the case.Therefore, probably felt the great momentum in the voice of Chris at home.He who was somewhat timid before, now straightened his back, with a confident look on his face.

...

After the classic call of all the people present, Chris began to solve the case with a look of complete control over the situation.

From shallow to deep, he slowly told the whole picture of the case in his eyes.

In Chris's words, this is a prisoner full of flaws.

It is precisely because the prisoner wants to do too many things and express too many things, so everything about the prisoner becomes traceable.

In the beginning, he was talking about the crime scene, not the real crime scene, but the place where the body was dumped.

Faced with this obvious matter, Riber actually saw the surprised expressions of several members of the Knights...

Riber can only say that some people are actually not suitable for this kind of crime-solving work.However, considering the complex and wide-ranging responsibilities of the knight order, there is probably no way to do it.

And now that it was confirmed that this was just the scene of dumping the corpse, Chris raised the next question.

How did the murderer dispose of the body?

Specifically, the time of throwing the corpse, the method of throwing the corpse, and the tools used when throwing the corpse.

Since he wanted to cut the corpses so neatly and arrange them, the corpses must have been frozen before.Therefore, at the scene of throwing the corpse, there will be a scene where the sea of ​​blood gradually spreads outward.

Regarding this part of the matter, Riber, who can basically only talk about it on paper, can only admire it with the members of the Knights

However, because of his always calm face, he looks as calm as if he already knew everything.

Starting from the corpse, Chris then talked about the most eye-catching part of the corpse.

That was the head that had been cut off and carefully put on makeup.

Since the degree of preservation of the head is visible to the naked eye, it should have been preserved together with the body parts.However, the head itself did not appear to melt, causing the makeup to change and blood to ooze.

Based on this, Chris mentioned a drug or plant that Riber had never heard of, saying that the prisoner used it to carefully coat the skull.

In this regard, Ribel's knowledge blind spot has been touched, so he can only roughly guess that what Chris is talking about is something similar to wax.

It seems that in order to solve a case in a different world, in addition to observation and reasoning skills, the reserve of knowledge is also a problem.

Fortunately, Riber didn't even think about being a detective.

Having said that, Chris has completed the foreshadowing.

During this period, the vice-captain kept questioning here and there, trying to pick out the loopholes in Chris's words like a bully.However, Chris was very good at using indisputable facts to push back his words.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, the vice-captain is a bit like a clown, but Riber thinks he is more like a joker.

It is precisely because of the existence of this "questioner" that Chris has no specific evidence as a basis, and the words of seven-point speculation and three-point speculation are as solid as facts.

Riber couldn't help but sigh, no wonder there are always similar characters appearing in those detective works.
