"Are noble ladies incapable of committing crimes? The gentlemen from the police department seem to believe that Mrs. Lazoya lives a decadent life and has been linked to a group of cultists who have come to this area. Detective, you know that cultists can always find companions for themselves."
Miss Bei Yasi took out a notebook and pen from her handbag and wrote down the questions:
"Redwich Field has already found out that Detective Sparrow Hamilton died of a sudden illness. So after his death, did you follow Mrs. Lazoya? How many times? Were you discovered by her?"
"I only followed her once, and she didn't find out."
Shade answered honestly.
Miss Beatrice nodded, her eyes shifted from the notebook to her fingers, she looked at her ring and asked again:
"Have you ever noticed anything wrong with her?"
"No."
Shade spoke the truth again, he only noticed something wrong with the young man wearing the relic reincarnation ring.
Seeing Miss Bei Yasi looking at the ring again, Xia De asked quietly in his heart:
"Is that ring a relic?"
You feel the 'whisper'.
The woman's voice finally came, and Shade guessed that the ring had the effect of identifying lies, but the effect was probably not strong, and it was completely ineffective for him in the state of divine afterglow. At least so far, the young "police officer" Miss Bei Yasi has not seen the detective's flaws.
"Detective, your visit to Lakeview Manor on Sunday, was it related to Mrs. Lawrence?"
After saying that, he added:
"We found out that you and Madam Lazoya were there."
"It's nothing to do with it. I went to play Rhodes at the invitation of Baron Lavender. There are many people who can testify for me. At least dozens of people saw me get a good hand under the grape trellis."
A confident look appeared on his face, he was confident of this fact.
Miss Beatrice lowered her head and wrote down:
"Rod, poker, okay... So, have you seen that Lady Lazoya in Lakeview Manor?"
"I saw her from a distance. She was with Mr. Lawrence at the time. But since the commission was over, I didn't pay much attention to them."
Xia De was still thinking about how to act more realistically, so he pretended to be curious and asked:
"What happened? How did Madam Lazoya suddenly become involved with the cultists? There was some commotion at Lakeview Manor on Sunday. I left early and don't know what happened."
But the young "police officer" did not give a direct answer.
Miss Iluna Beias looks very young, which does not refer to her age, but her way of doing things. She is currently only a second-ring warlock, and according to priest Augustus, the Five Gods Church does not allow first-ring warlocks to join the ring warlock team.
Therefore, the young girl with long brown hair probably had not carried out many missions independently, and in the subsequent investigation into this incident, the Church of the Sun only assigned her the simplest and safest tasks.
She had now come directly to the home of the person who finalized the Lake View Manor incident, and although the outsider was not very old, she had no problem dealing with such an inexperienced girl.
Xia De was also very glad that his presence in this matter was not obvious, so the Orthodox Church did not send those experienced ring warlocks.
"Speaking of which, did you encounter anything unusual during the banquet at Lakeview Manor?"
Miss Beatrice asked again.
"I seemed to have met a group of people near the garden maze, but my memory after that was a little fuzzy, probably because the wine was too intoxicating."
Xia De responded skillfully, and Miss Bei Yasi blinked and avoided the topic:
“Have you ever met anyone wearing a burgundy suit?”
"I saw it from a distance near the grape arbor in the garden. That burgundy suit looked very fashionable. But I hate red coats. I think they are a bit...feminine. I like black ones. They look more solemn."
Xia De thought about it, and seeing that the other party was taking notes seriously, he tried to take the initiative to interrupt again:
"Miss Beas, you keep 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 an earthquake obviously couldn't be caused by humans."
asked the guy who caused the earthquake.
"Detective, there are some things you'd better not know too much about. Generally speaking, the kingdom and the church will not announce the news of cultists to the public, do you understand?"
Miss Beatrice hinted at this, and Shad immediately made an expression of sudden realization.
"So, the Lakeview Manor dinner party did appear..."
"So, when you gave Mrs. Lawrence Detective Sparrow's report, did you give her all of it?"
Miss Beatrice asked again seriously, wondering what the detective opposite her 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 copy. This is professional ethics."
Shade said, and then received an unexpected answer, Miss Bei Yasi's expression was regretful:
"In fact, Prof. Redwich has found the investigation report among Mrs. Lawrence's belongings."
"Relic?"
Shade was startled and leaned forward. This was no show. He killed Mrs. Lazoya, so Mrs. Lawrence should be fine.
"Mrs. Lawrence is dead? How?"
"Yes, around early Tuesday morning, Redwich Field received a report from the Lawrence family's servants. Mr. Lawrence was missing, and his wife was tragically dead... I think I shouldn't describe the scene to you."
The lady with long brown hair said cautiously.
"Who did it?"
Shade asked, Mrs. Lawrence and him had only met once formally, and the relationship between the two parties was just that of a client and a client. Strictly speaking, the client was not Shade, but Sparrow Hamilton.
But he remembered the 13 shillings that Mrs. Lawrence had paid too much, and her kind advice before she left. There were countless people in this world, and Shad could only have interactions with a part of them, and among those he had interactions with, Mrs. Lawrence was considered a good one.
He really felt sorry for the tragic death of this lady. He wanted to say something at this moment, but all the words were choked in his neck. He had thought about the cruelty of cultists and illegal organizations, but he never thought that the lady's ending would be like this.
Miss Beatrice just shook her head:
"There is no conclusion yet. We suspect that it was Lazoya's accomplice who committed this cruel act. After all, she has already... Let's get back to business. May I ask if there are any documents related to those investigations in the office? I need to take them all away."
