CHAPTER 1: SEARCHING FOR THE FALSE BOOK-SELLER – PART 2
August 24, 2016Tgurneu
Eventually, Haiza siot the story and dismissed it as the nonsense of a drunkard
However, Mirepoc as reading his Book didn’t share this notion Parney had clearly stated that she met Lascall Othello Mirepoc, who never drank didn’t really understand it, but she probably wouldn’t repeat again and again that she met someone if she didn’t actually know him
Eventually, the investigation on Lascall Othello continued without bearing any fruit Even after Haiza’s death, several Armed Librarians and trainees took over it, but they were no longer investigating seriously Three years into the investigation and Hamyuts aborted it
However, Mirepoc was thinking – if she were to investigate Parney right noon’t she find a different result?
Also, if Lascall Othello had anything to do with the Indulging God Cult, wouldn’t it mean that Parney knew some tremendous secret?
Mirepoc was pacing along the road, hearing the never-ceasing sounds of car engines and horns A little sick of it all, she walked through Fullbeck’s city center
She found a signboard in front of a stone- She set her foot inside this building that was designated as “Fullbeck Central Security”
“An Armed Librarian? Why so suddenly?”
The answering sheriff made no effort to hide his surprise at her visit
“It’s an unofficial visit”
“On what business?”
“I ca to the Parney Parlmanta murder case”
“Why only now?”
“I’m sorry, but this is a confidential matter”
Mirepoc was brought by the confused sheriff to the reference room
Materials about Parney Parlmanta were buried in one shelf of that room In addition to the dossier, there were also newspaper clippings and papers such as articles froazines stored there
Mirepoc thanked the sheriff and began reading the materials
Parney waskilling method of decapitation and the mysterious criminal all drew the attention of the world
The culprit was as of yet uncaught Even the most important clue, Parney’s Book, had not been stored in Bantorra Library Although the Armed Librarians have embarked on the search of the Book, it was obviously not yet found
“Are these the only investigation documents?”
MirepocThere wasn’t anything important there
She scanned through the newspaper clippings and gossip azines just in case Sensational aes There was an a amount of articles And yet, none of them had any credibility
Was the crime made by a fanatical fan? An assassin hired by a movie company? A resentful actress who did not receive any roles? Was she killed by a Book-stealing organization for her Book? Theories of a criovernment, theories of a cri punish around
Mirepoc’s head hurt It was i the truth in the vast a the scrap notebook, she returned it to the shelf
“Lies are the best way to conceal the truth, aren’t they…”
She tried recalling who once said these words
At that moment, she heard a knock and a man came inside the room He was a firm-built man that could already be called old
“I am sheriff Moodly Is there any way I can help you?”
The man introduced himself with a small bow The naation ation
“That is generous of you to offer However, since this is an unofficial visit, I did not request for any help”
“Is that so”
Moodly readily withdrew Mirepoc was thankful for that She didn’t want a sheriff that had no co around
“Why are you checking this incident now?”
Mirepoc answered,
“That incident is nota different case, but I suspect this one to have some connection to it”
“…I see”
Moodly thought for a while She noticed a tinge of fear in his facial expression
“Is so the matter?”
“No, it is nothing”
Moodly shook his head to the side And then he began gru the old days
“We really don’t know anything about the Parney one without a trace If, at that tiht have solved it”
Mirepoc denied it
“That’s unreasonable You can’t just leave anything and everything for us Armed Librarians”
The job of the Armed Librarians was to protect the peaceful death of people For that, they protected the ainst those who disturbed the order of the world
No matter how much of a famous actress she was, if it was a mere murder case it wasn’t a job for Armed Librarians
“More importantly, Parney’s Book is said to be somewhere in this city”
“Indeed There is soanization possesses it, but we couldn’t find any evidence of that”
“We have also been trying to look for it, but regrettably we cannot do anything about it”
There were countless cri and selling of Books around the world Since Fullbeck was such a large city, none of the sheriffs could easily lay their hands on them
“It was a horrible incident”
The two of thehed at the same time
Mirepoc left Central Security and started walking around the city again
As she walked she was thinking Were there really any clues about Lascall Othello in this city?
It was possible On top of Lascall Othello and the Indulging God Cult having a connection with one another, did Parney Parl to do with the Cult?
Thinking this far, she smiled wryly at the low possibility It seemed almost impossible But while i as it wasn’t zero, she couldn’t just leave it alone
Mirepoc felt as if she was trying to find a needle in a haystack The needle was Lascall Othello and the haystack was the vast sea of information
She didn’t know if there was an actual needle inside the haystack And was the thing inside an actual needle? It could also be a harht prick someone one day She wasn’t able to find it, but she couldn’t stop looking for it
She was looking for a
“…Good grief”
Mirepoc flew froy, but the road ahead seemed more difficult than she anticipated
Thinking about it, her ability was used for her to transfer her thoughts to other people That meant her ability was useless if she was by herself She was powerless while having no allies She once again fully realized this
“Oh, I was looking for you”
A person came to speak with Mirepoc It was a wo dress who seemed to be in her thirties She was quite different from the woman she met before
“Excuse ht you be?”
Mirepoc gently reached for the gun in her clothes However, she immediately ceased No matter how she looked at it, the woman didn’t appear likely to do her any harm
“I’m from Falluin Women’s Department Store We have been told to assist your work today and come to pick you up, Mirepoc-saht? We have heard about you from her”
“I didn’t hear anything about this”
Mirepoc instantly answered In the first place, can the owner of a clothing store even help her?
“Yes yes Don’t be concerned about that and follow me”
A car already appeared next to the for her answer
The car parked in front of the departed inside
“What are you trying to do?”
“Isn’t it obvious? You’re going to choose clothes What you’re wearing is also lovely, but when in Fullbeck you have to dress like Fullbeckers do”
That didn’t have anything to do with her
“Everyone, Mirepoc Finedell-sama has come as per her reservation”
She tried breaking off However, before she could run away, she was surrounded by the fe all around her Flustered, she was pushed into the dressing room
An hour passed since then
“How is it now?”
One after the other, the clerks ca dresses Mirepoc did as she told, took off her clothes to try new ones, and then took off those as well How much clothes had she tried on by now? They were all far from Mirepoc’s tastes
“It fits you”
The female clerk put a mirror in front of the dress-up doll named Mirepoc
“How is it? How is it?”
