18 [1-18] Threatening Detective Irisulune (1/2)

What are you doing? ......!

After being captured by Iris (Rene), Diaz was forcibly dragged into an empty room nearby.

You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing.

Perhaps it's not fear of Iris (Rene), but fear that everything will fall apart.

Iris takes out the short staff she has tied to her thigh and gives it a swing.

”Silent”. ...... This will ensure that no one around you can hear what you are saying here.

All surrounding sounds are blocked out. It's a small area that encompasses just the two of you.

It's a small area that encompasses just the two of you. Iris (Rene) doesn't need this, but it's a measure to put her partner at ease.

”First things first. As you can see from the wand, I am not your daughter, but the shadow warrior Iris.

I'll get straight to the point. Have you given any information about the inside of this castle to Night Python?

The question was so straightforward, without any preamble, that Diaz's eyes went black.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. ......

I'm not sure what to say. He may have thought he was just being sickled. There's no evidence of that.

But Iris (Rene), with her powers of emotional perception, had read the fear and guilt swirling within him.

Iris continued to stare into the eyes of Diaz, who was too confused to fix his gaze.

He immediately made a sound and bowed as close to 90 degrees as he could as if he was going to jump in.

'...... Yes, yes, I'm sorry!

I was told to always find out which one of you is the real lady, and report back if asked. ......!　I'm being held hostage by my own family!

--I knew it.

Which of the two Master Catherine's is the real one and which is the fake? There are only a few people who can tell which of the two Katherine girls is real and which is not.

The only people who can tell which of the two girls is the real one and which is not are the maidservants and the study and housekeeping teachers.

If you can get into the hands of the teacher and get involved in the study scene, you can always keep track of the truth. After all, Catherine rarely misses a day of study.

That's why Night Python suddenly turned Diaz into an academic.

I wanted to say I don't give a d*mn about hostages, and if I wanted to, I could have tortured Diaz into submission and turned him into a double agent, but ...... that's not what Iris is allowed to say or do.

What to do now, Iris (Rene) thinks.

--But if that's the case, then this guy is a hired insider.

...... Hmm?　I'm sure they'll choose someone in a better position for that. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you need to do to get the most out of it.

It is possible that there was no family member who could conveniently be taken as a hostage. ...... Was it all of them?

Why was it Mr. Diaz, I wonder?

What?

You take hostages and make them do your bidding.

I only said it because I wondered, but at that moment, Iris (Rene) perceived a burning fear.

This reaction is ...... something.

I don't know. ...... I don't know. ......

”Are you sure?

”What ......?

I'm asking you, do you really know nothing?

The second one was quicker to snap.

The second time, Diaz was quicker to snap.

I'm sorry about ...... too!　I needed the money for my family!　We were doing so well for so long, and then they suddenly ......!

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.
