Chapter 477

"It's indeed... sweeter..."

"Hehe, then... next..." Olivia said this, and turned her eyes to the few people hiding in the woods.

Orson also turned his head and stared at Litt.

"Are you guys happy tracking and peeping?"

Oops, I'm discovered!

Litt thought so, but running away at this moment would not help, so he could only walk out with the two people.

The three people stood side by side, all lowered their heads, and no one dared to look up at Orson and Olivia.

Orson stood in front of the three people, and the oppression he brought to the three people made the three people breathless for a time.

"Okay, Orson, let them go, they are still children." Olivia said with a smile.

"I told you in the dormitory, but you still followed me secretly." Orson pretended to be angry.

"Olivia said she would let you go, but I'm not going to let you go. Go back and copy the magic theory ten times!" Orson said this, pointing in the direction of the dormitory area.

Chapter 3: Interrogation

Watching the girls leave in disgrace, Orson suppressed the anger on his face and smiled at Olivia.

Both of them were strong, so how could they not have noticed that someone was following them? Orson wanted to expose it at the beginning, but Olivia had some bad taste and wanted to deliberately disgust the other person in front of someone.

I just hugged the other person's brother and acted like a spoiled child, and the other person couldn't do anything to me.

I felt like a helpless and angry victim.

"Okay, I've had fun, so you're satisfied now, right?" Orson said with a smile.

"Well, but you dared to punish Li'anka, aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will hate you? After all, Li'anka knows nothing about magic theory."

"Well, since you're punishing them, you have to punish them all, otherwise they will think that Li'anka is being favored, which is not good for Li'anka."

"That's right." Olivia nodded, then put her hands behind her back and walked in front of Orson.

"Then let's go for a walk. It's rare to be alone with you, Orson. I really want this time to be longer."

...

On the other side, the prison in Saint Laurent City.

In the cell with the highest guard level, two high-level knights of level 7 are on duty at the door. In addition, the walls and doors of the entire cell have been reinforced with magic by several level 8 mages. It is impossible for ordinary people to cross the cell by brute force.

The prisoner in the cell is the vassal of the Duke of Naples, Raven, who was accused of assassinating the former Duke of Orleans, Francois.

If Donny is included, Raven has served the Duke of Naples for three generations. Now, after being forced to take off the mask and disguise, the hidden face looks like a young man under 30 years old.

Sherlock, who has now become a big celebrity in the public security department of Saint Laurent City, came to the cell with two recorders. After showing his documents, he was allowed to enter the cell.

Since the results of the last case investigation came out, Sherlock has always had an unshakable knot in his heart, that is, the truth.

Although a lot of evidence was shown in the process of closing the case, and it finally pointed to the Duke of Naples, Sherlock knew that the result of the case might not be what was made public.

Therefore, after Raven was arrested this time, Sherlock, who was in charge of the last case investigation, also got the right to interrogate Raven.

Walking into the cell, it was separated by a simple iron fence, which looked quite insecure, especially the person who was going to be interrogated in front of him was a ruthless person who killed all the Duke's guards and then killed the Duke.

Raven raised his eyes and saw Sherlock coming in, but did not move.

Sherlock sat at the long table, looked at the Raven in front of him, and began his interrogation.

"Suspect, Raven is just your code name, right? What is your real name?"

"I don't have a real name." Raven answered quickly. "I've been called Raven since I can remember."

"When did you start serving Giovanni?"

"...Since he decided to kill his father."

Hearing this information, Sherlock was stunned, and then quickly asked the recorder beside him to mark the end of this information.

This may also involve another case.

"Can you please describe it in detail?"

"Yes." Raven nodded, and then told all about Giovanni's plan to kill his father and seize the power of the Duke of Naples.

"If it weren't for my cold-eyed observation, or acquiescence, Giovanni would never have done that."

After Raven finished talking about this, nearly half an hour had passed. At this time, Sherlock also realized that he had deviated from the topic and quickly corrected the topic.

"So, Mr. Raven, may I ask, did you kill the Duke of Orleans, Francois?"

"I killed him." Raven admitted it generously.

"Why?"

"Because, it's a very simple reason. At that time, the Duke of Naples was under siege, and Saint Laurent City was holding a meeting. So in order to reduce the pressure on the front line, they could only do something during the meeting. It happened that the Duke of Orleans's guards were the weakest, and they encountered another attack that day. I saw an opportunity, so I did it."

Sherlock nodded after hearing this, and then suddenly heard something wrong in Raven's words.

"Wait, you said they were attacked again that day?"

"You don't know about this?" Raven looked at Sherlock doubtfully.

"That night, the Duke of Orleans deliberately made a circle on his way back and was attacked by local gangsters. After dealing with the gangsters, they did not take it seriously and instead relaxed their vigilance, so I naturally took action."

Upon hearing the news, Sherlock's eyes widened.

In other words, there is more than one person planning to murder the Duke of Orleans! ?

Although Raven generously admitted that he was the real murderer, the other party was probably an accomplice.

Sherlock immediately perked up, and she thought carefully about every next question to see if she had missed any key information.

Half an hour later, Sherlock felt his brain trembling slightly.

This matter is indeed not that simple.

Raven refused to admit that he put the Tullus family crest in a warehouse owned by the prince Alsace in order to frame the blame. Instead, he claimed that he brought the Tullus family crest back to Naas as a trophy. The Duchy of Poli only disappeared in the end with the fire of the Duke of Napoli.

As for the so-called incidents related to Orchid Tavern, Raven knew nothing about it.

And the black figure that Orson chased after was not a raven at all, but someone else.

Of course Sherlock knew that the raven was probably lying, but she clarified the logic from the raven's words. From the raven's perspective, there was indeed no need for him to take the risk of returning to the Holy Land after killing the people. Roland City.

If Raven is not lying, there is only one explanation that makes sense, and that is that someone also wants the Duke of Orleans to die, or to achieve a certain purpose through his death, thus intentionally or unintentionally pushing Raven to assassinate Fran Sova process.

After the interrogation, Sherlock led the two recording officers out of the cell.

"Today's interrogation record will be treated as a top-secret document and must not be shared externally." Sherlock looked at the two interrogators beside him and ordered.

"Got it." The two subordinates nodded, and then hurried back to the police station in small steps.

Sherlock stood there. At this moment, she suddenly thought of what she asked Orson when she met Orson not long ago.

Orson, did he really not lie to himself?

I followed the investigation results he gave me. Is it possible that he really arranged it deliberately?

Chapter 4: The experience begins

The next day, inside the police station.

Owen came to Sherlock's office, ready to ask her about the results of yesterday's interrogation investigation.

Sherlock was sitting at his desk at the moment, writing and drawing on paper.

"Miss Sherlock, what are the results of yesterday's interrogation?" Owen asked, looking at Sherlock in front of him.

"Ah... this..." Sherlock hesitated after hearing this, and then said: "I did ask for some more important information, but it does not rule out that the suspect has a strong psychological quality and used false information to try to attract more people. Innocent people go into the water.”

"So, now I am sorting and analyzing the intelligence collected so far, and I am going to feed back the most accurate intelligence to the above. Otherwise, if the intelligence uploaded is inaccurate and the judgment above is biased, we cannot bear this responsibility."

"I understand." Owen nodded, and then continued: "The royal family is prepared to leave this matter to Miss Sherlock with full authority. If you need it, please tell me as soon as possible so that I can help you." You help.”

"Yeah, I know."

Owen paused at the door for a few more seconds before slowly leaving.

After Sherlock finished talking to Owen, he continued to concentrate on the paper in front of him.

In order to clarify the overall logic of the case, she has been constantly deducing each situation since she returned yesterday.

And until now, she has deduced dozens of possibilities on paper.

Every change in detail may point to different people.

In her deduction, the possibility of Orson being an accomplice only appeared twice, not even as many times as Alsace, which reassured her a lot.

At least Orson most likely did not lie to himself.

She rubbed her temples and continued her work.

…

On the other side, inside the prison, a new guest came today.

Prince Arthas came to the prison door and was let in directly after revealing his identity.

He came here this time to ask Raven why he had framed him before.

His information source in the judicial institution has been cut off, and he has no access to internal intelligence. In addition, the case is still under trial. He was so impatient to wait that he simply came over in person.

"It turns out it's His Highness the Prince. Do you have anything to do with me for coming here like this?" Raven stood at the door, looked at Alsace, and asked.

Arthas sat in front of the raven, his expression cold.

"You should know why. Since you killed Francois, all kinds of evidence have pointed to me, causing me almost irreparable damage to my reputation."

"I want to know how you managed to put the blame on me?" Arthas said, narrowing his eyes and looking at the raven.

Who knew that the raven just smiled when he heard this.

"Your Highness, is there a possibility that I didn't put the blame on you, my purpose was just the royal family, and someone happened to want you to be the scapegoat?"

Raven was sitting on the chair with his hands on his legs. He looked very relaxed and didn't look like he was lying at all.

"Hmph." Arthas didn't indulge Raven. He opened the door of the cell, walked into the cell, and directly grabbed the other party's collar.

"Do you think you can cause civil unrest in the empire like this?"

"You are already desperate to this point, and you still want to drag others into the water, right?"

"You can't escape death, so you want others to take the blame for you. Do you think I don't know your thoughts?!"

As he said this, he swung a punch and hit Raven's face hard.

Raven was hit by this blow, and stars appeared in his eyes, but he still turned his head.

Instead of being angry, he smiled.

"That's why you are like this."

He said this, with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"What did you say!?" Arthas was even more angry when he heard that the other party dared to mock him. He threw the other party heavily against the wall, but this level of injury was nothing for an eighth-level strongman.

"Think about it, Your Highness. What reason do I have, or what reason does my former master, Giovanni, have to deal with you?"

"Didn't he have a good relationship with you?"

"But he colluded with the cultists and became a servant of the devil. From then on, I no longer had any contact with him!"

When Arthas heard this, he quickly clarified the relationship between himself and Giovanni.

"I know that the entire empire is afraid of the devil. I can understand your actions, and Giovanni can understand it even more."

"It's just..." Raven said this and looked up at Arthas.

"Do you really think that we are the only ones who want to make the empire chaotic?"

"I know you want to be a great lord, so, Your Highness, what you should do now is to cut off the cancer buried inside?"

"If you let the other party develop like this, it will only become another disaster for the empire, right?"

When Arthas listened to Raven's words, his clenched fists loosened.

"But this is not a reason for you, a sinner, to teach me how to govern the country."
