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

What is this all about?

"Master—"

Before Riber could sort out his mood, Sebastian, who was also reading the newspaper, also yelled loudly,

"How can you go out in the middle of the night, what will you do if you encounter danger!"

Listening to Sebastian's complaints, Riber always felt that his butler's focus seemed to be somewhat different from that of the public.

"Besides, the young master needs bodyguards when he goes out, so he can just wake me up. There's no need to deliberately call Annie."

real or fake?

Sebastian can actually recognize Annie or Berta from the photo?

How did you do it?

Riber couldn't help being a little surprised.

"You may not believe it when you tell it, but it was your heavenly horse that ran out of the stable by itself."

"what?"

Sebastian froze for a moment, then pondered for a while with a solemn expression.

Judging from the results, although it was very tangled, he really didn't believe that Annie would run out by herself.

Gee.

Not to mention running out of the stable by itself, your horse will catch the prisoner by itself one day.

Riber shook his head, and didn't bother to tell Sebas the cruel fact that the pegasus he raised was more capable than him.

Between the words, Alice ran down from upstairs in a hurry.

Just now, Sebastian sent the Pioneer Daily upstairs, so now the Ed family probably knows that a "hero" has appeared in their home.

"Uncle, Uncle, you are in the newspaper again!"

Alice leaned over to the table where Riber was, looked at Riber with sparkling eyes,

"Are you really an Earl as powerful as Earl Berthos?"

This child is in broad daylight, won't he go to school?

Oh, today is the weekend.

After staring at Alice for a moment, Riber took a sip from the teacup, then spoke slowly,

"Then Alice, do you also want to become as powerful as Earl Berthos?"

"Ok!"

Alice, who really likes the legend of Berthos, nodded vigorously.

"So that's it. In order to let you get close to Earl Bethos as soon as possible, let me help you."

Alice showed joy on her face, as if asking "Really?"

"You know, learning makes people happy. So, let me teach you what mathematics is today. How about starting with trigonometry?"

"..."

Under Liber's gentle and friendly gaze, the smile on Alice's face gradually froze, and finally turned into a big question mark.

Volume II: Chapter 62, Case Showroom

Almost at the same moment, in the headquarters of the Knights, Isenbech Gram, the deputy captain of the Third Guard, also slammed the Pioneer Daily on the table.

"If only catching one murderer is a hero, then who else in our team is not a hero!"

boom!

Isenbach kicked the desk angrily.

Then after about ten seconds, he stood up with a resentful face and cleaned up the table that had been kicked into a mess.

Since the Herald discovered that attacking the Knights is the secret to increasing sales, their responsibilities and slander to the Knights have never stopped.

However, on the other hand, it can also be seen that the residents of Greenwater also have a lot of dissatisfaction with the performance of the Knights.

Sitting back in his seat, Isenbach sighed and let his mind go blank.

He is a violent person, but he also has the ability to quickly adjust his emotions.Otherwise, it would be impossible to climb all the way from the bottom to the position of deputy captain of the third security force.

"Is it really... so much worse?"

Isenbach murmured.

This was not the first time he had such doubts.

At the beginning, seeing the "dismemberer" holding Earl Campret hostage in front of him, he left gracefully.

In the midst of the commotion, the pale-faced Isenbeck was full of regrets.

He felt that the root cause of all this was him.

If he could have calmed down earlier and stopped arguing with the "Detective" and the "Earl", the situation would definitely not have turned out like this.

What is the correct way to do this?

The correct way is for him to trust the detective, and then find an opportunity to communicate with the detective quietly, so as to know who is the suspect in advance.Then, calmly commanding the members of the Knights, quietly let the unrelated people leave the scene.When the "dismemberer" came back to his senses, he found that there was no one else around except the knights surrounding her.

Instead of forcing the detective to tell all the truth loudly in front of everyone, this will give the suspect a chance to jump over the wall and die.

Isenbach really regretted it, and thought that if other citizens were killed by the "Dismemberer", he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

But he also knows that regret is the most useless move.

So, after the incident, he sent all his men and applied to mobilize all the forces of the Greenwater Knights to search for the traces of Earl Campret. At the same time, he took the initiative to find Detective Chris, hoping that he could become a temporary adviser to the Knights' Third Guard. .

Not to mention anything else, at the scene at the time, the scene where Chris impassionedly uncovered the "Dismemberer" left a deep impression on Isenbach.

From this slightly immature detective, he saw something that members of their knight order did not have.

After Chris came to the Knights, he did not disappoint Isenbach.

When Isenbeige learned that it took only two days, Chris had sorted out the general outline of the "Night Demon Case" and locked the murderer's stronghold in a certain range of the slums in Nancheng.He couldn't help sighing, "Is it really so different?"

But Isenbach didn't expect that someone could be more exaggerated than Chris.

From obtaining case files to catching criminals with your own hands.

Count Campret, it only took half a day.

...

...

Walking out of his office, in the dossier showroom, Isenbech saw Chris, who was still staring at the dossier of "Night Demon" with his eyes wide open.

Seeing Isenbach's arrival, another person in the showroom immediately approached to talk,

"Vice-captain, you should also persuade Mr. Chris. After returning from the scene, he has been in the same state as he is now, and he is not willing to rest."

The one who spoke to Isenbach was Yabubeki Graham, the female knight and Isenbach's younger sister.

However, Yabubeki really didn't want others to think that she was given preferential treatment to join the Knights because her brother was the vice-captain of the Third Guard.Therefore, it has been many years since Yabubach never called Isenbach "brother".

"This..."

Isenbach was a little embarrassed.

He didn't know how to persuade.

Chris' ability as a detective is much higher than that of the Knights combined.

As a teenager, with such outstanding abilities, Chris must be more proud and confident than anyone else in his heart.

And it is just like him, it is not too much to say that he has suffered a fatal blow.

While he was still struggling to track down the suspect, someone easily caught the prisoner in front of his eyes.

"I see!"

Just when Isenbach was hesitating, Chris suddenly yelled and slapped the table, startling the siblings.

"That...Mr. Chris..."

Yabu Bache was very worried, whether Chris was too shocked and his mind became strange.

And Chris didn't care about the eyes of the other two at all, but spread all the information of the "Night Demon" case on the desktop.

"You also know that among the six night demon cases, only four were actually his actions."

Chris looked at the two of them in a blink of an eye, and then started the review of the case without authorization.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other, thinking that listening to the replay was not a bad thing, and then they moved over to be the audience.

"First of all, as a serial killer, the night devil is a serial killer. His symbol is to collect women's hair. And he has his own obsession. The hair color of each victim must be different. Therefore, the two did not cut off the hair, and found that The two victims whose colors have been repeated are victims of other cases."

Listening to Chris's words, both Isenbeiqi and Yabubeiqi nodded.

From the first time Chris uttered this conclusion, they felt that Chris's way of solving cases as a detective was very special.

For a long time, the Knights have mainly solved the case by investigating the scene of the crime, investigating the motive of the crime, and then using witnesses, etc., in an inherent and systematic way.

But Chris, the main focus this time is the suspect himself.

Originally, it was difficult to gather any information from a prisoner who was hiding in the shadows and had never shown himself to the world.

However, Chris obtained a lot of useful information through analysis.

"It is precisely because of the crime characteristics of the 'Night Demon'. Therefore, we found these three women who had recently disappeared from the missing cases and whose hair color met the requirements of the 'Night Demon', and listed them as the 'Night Demon'. Suspected victim."

The two siblings of the knight order continued to nod.

But Isenbach sighed in his heart.

One bad news after another.

First, the Nightcrawlers have been on the loose for longer than they thought and claimed more victims.

Then there are some cases of night devil files, the murderer is actually someone else...

Alas, what had happened to his city?

"Then, we observed that although the identities of the seven victims were different, the places where the victims lived were all very close to Nancheng District. Therefore, we connected the locations of the seven victims with a line. Got it An area, an area where Daredevil is comfortable, where he might even live."

Yabbech still nodded, but Isenbech's expression became a little embarrassed.

"I applied for a thorough search of that area, but was rejected. However, I can understand. After all, the area itself is very large, and the current clues are too general. Even, I will go to investigate that area myself , and I just had a mentality of trying my luck. I never thought that I could get results."

Chris continued.

His words were very frank, as if he was narrating the facts.But because of this, Isenbech, who once refused to explore that area due to lack of manpower, felt his face getting hotter and hotter.

Rather, if it weren't for the Knights' mistakes, the Night Demon case would have been mixed with other cases.The scope of the night demon's crimes may have been locked long ago.

"That's why I don't understand. Why, the Earl can be so sure that the criminal will definitely commit crimes in that area, and he is so sure that it must have been last night."

"Count... er... my lord, are you sure he caught the prisoner yesterday?"

Isenbach asked a little dissatisfied.

Then, he saw Chris and his sister looking at him strangely.As if, just looking at a fool.

Without Chris, Yabu Bache began to explain.

"If it wasn't for the earl's affirmation, the Night Demon would have committed crimes last night. Then, my lord earl, why did you go out in the middle of the night? Besides, you still have to ride a phantom beast like Pegasus with many magical powers? The biggest advantage of flying in the air is not Is it just to look down on the ground and search in a large area?"

As Abbech said, he gave his brother a dissatisfied look.

Because, he knew that his elder brother was full of prejudice against the old nobles because he loved the current Xinmei Kingdom so much.

"..."

Isenbach was silent.

What my sister said makes sense!

The majestic earl, deliberately going out in the middle of the night, can't be for relaxation or to bury things at night, right?

That's not reasonable or logical.

"Well, then I'll continue."
