“There’s only one truth! [1] You’re the one who murdered Jack! Rosie, his neife!”
I shouted as I pointed at the short wo in an auntie’s arers in the room had expressions filled with shock and disbelief In their otten married and were really close, with an excellent relationshi+p
Jack had been suddenly murdered, and Rosie had been the saddest She had already fainted several ti too much; how could she possibly be the one to have done such a thing?
“The evidence is in how Jack died The knife wounds on his neck aren’t what really killed hi handprints on his neck responsible The pale color of his face is the critical factor He was poisoned to death! Those handprints and bruises on his neck were simply caused by himself in his instinctive desire to try and breathe The wide-openand uise this case as the work of a thief As for evidence? The evidence is this half a bottle of poison that I discovered in your backyard! Rosie, do you dare to show me all the kitchen utensils in your home? There are definitely still some traces of poison left on them Don’t tell ical reasoning for this deduction wasn’t exactly airtight, but Rosie wasn’t exactly a well-educated lady froirl who had never seen the world before When I suddenly roared at her and shook a bottle of medicine—not poison—before her eyes, she instantly panicked and revealed everything
“…I didn’t do it on purpose! I was just trying to scare hi it all ae have no more money left at all for even food… Wahhh! Who knew that rat poison would be strong enough to kill hiht then This Jack fellow’s reason for death was now clear He had actually been poisoned to death by a common killer: rat poison
“And even if he lost , that would have been fine, but he—he even cheated onjewelry store! Hahaha! Jack actually cheated on me with Carr for three years, and married me only to conceal his preferences! That’s why I ht, it turned out that Carr was the name of another man It would seem that this Jack fellow had rather unique preferences I watched Rosie, who had been laughing and crying finish with laughter out of extre her teeth Her siven up after cracking frohed at how s to exclaim about as well
“It would seeender is true love, while love between the opposite sexes is only an instinct How are you supposed to have true love if the genders are different…? See, the evidence is that this guy died within not even threethis h since ere only outsiders here The rest should be handled by the locals However, since I was able to complete the quest to find the killer in such a short time, I was quite proud ofable to marvelously solve the mystery in just two hours? From today onwards, please call me the famous detective Rolo!”
“…You need to say all that? Everyone knew that she was thefor evidence everywhere and having so ht then, on a nearby wooden table, there was a small cat thief who had a dissatisfied expression as she repeatedly touched the fake cat ears attached to her head That tan cat tail attached to her was also listlessly limp It would seem that Harloys, who had newly entered the thief job class, was quite displeased with her new identity and “equip time at all! I watched several hundred episodes of Detective Conan and Kindaichi Case Files [2] before, and I understand more than two thousand ways to kill people and the h such mysteries so easily? Hotten that I was the one who taught you undead e was all around that woic, anyone can discover that the remnant of his soul was still in the roo It was so easy to deduce Reht turn into a grudge-bearing ghost”
She could do all that? I was so astonished that I opened otten entirely about such spells It would seeical world, after all Any undeaddetective, and there would bemy confidence as a famous detective as well
“…There was the scent of poison co from the deceased’s mouth, and the same scent was on that woman’s hands The scent was quite fresh; it was probably only two hours old”
The wryly s archdruid rubbed his nose, but I could detect his pride in hily casual expression of his As a transforth, a cougar’s speed, or a dog’s nose was child’s play to hith, a griffin’s speed, and a phantom wolf’s sense of smell It would be a simple matter for him to whiff such a low-level poison in just one minute
And when I looked towards Krose, who seele word Of course, I knew that since she was a judging specialist Judgeh-ranked priest of Law, criminals would be unable to hide from her She probably wouldn’t even need to use any Divine Arts to detect lies; just a si
“Your Highness, Little Feather toldher husband He and his wives severely condone such vicious behavior”
I shouldhad met here Were even sparrows able to have hare really deceiving about Beifeng’s honest-see, probably only Yawen and Cohen in my little Silver Coin Squad didn’t realize the truth of the incident After all, they were low-intelligence useless cannon fodder—er—I meant melee combat classes
“…You think that anyone would be able to lie in front of a True Dragon?” Little Red spread salt on hness, our norative work like this as well We dark elves have a high a poisons It was quite clear the moment I saw that corpse”
Yawen seemed to find her words quite aard as she saas obviously beco depressed, but she was too honest to kno to use white lies to make me feel better
My little disciple Cohen didn’t say anything; instead, he was continuously nodding in agreement with my deduction But as a poor farence value over twice that of his Strength, he had instantly discovered the re half a bottle of poison the moment he had walked in the door and found all the clues
But, he wanted to give his teacher face Yet, for ree was the worstsalt on my wound of all It ic is so annoying! Only the wicked would flip to the end of a detective novel to find who the culprit is! Faic! We only need acute observational ability and iination Can’t you just use various little pieces of evidence and clues to conduct logical deductions that slowly force the culprit into a corner?”
Everyone had confused expressions that seeic that does all that, so why go to all the trouble?” This made me even more embarrassed, as it turned out that all of in with And, so, my desire to cry turned into reality
“…I hate this world that’s completely unscientific! How are famous detectives supposed to live here!? You wicked people who go online to look for the culprit when playing detective games!”
