Skretil's Ignorance Walker

Wildi thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why Albert was killed. The dragoons had investigated Albert's interpersonal relationships. He had no enemies, was kind to others, and people around him had a high opinion of him. It didn't seem like he was killed for revenge.

"…Lina, can you take someone to check on Albert's cafe? I'm worried that his wife might be in danger there alone."

"No problem, I'll be there right away."

After much thought, Wildi felt that it was not safe to leave Albert's wife alone. The other party might come and kill his wife as well, so he asked Lina to protect Albert's wife first.

"Wait a minute, let Amy go with her."

Lu Ren on the side also said that she was a little worried as well, and if Amy went with them, she would be able to help at the critical moment.

"Then please."

"Put it on me!"

Then Lina and Amy set off with four dragoons. Wildi thought that if they brought too many people, if the other party really turned back, they would not dare to attack after seeing so many people. So he asked Lina to select a few elite members, disguised as guests, to lure the murderer into the trap.

On the other hand, Verdi and Lu Ren still had matters concerning the Priory to deal with, and until it was confirmed that the Priory was responsible, they could not devote too much energy to this matter. After all, some people believed that this was just a vendetta by the Mafia.

When Lina and Amy arrived at the cafe, they found that it was closed. Perhaps because of Albert's disappearance, his wife had no intention of running the business.

The two found Albert's wife and ensured her safety.

Albert's wife was heartbroken after learning that her husband had died, and she had no intention of continuing to open the cafe. Seeing this, Lina discussed with Amy and asked her to calm down in the room first, while she would run the cafe first.

Their goal is to reopen the cafe, which may attract the murderer's attention and he will return to eliminate the root of the problem. However, Lina and the others don't know whether the murderer knows Albert's wife, but as long as they can lure him to the door, there is still a way.

So after getting the consent of Albert's wife, the two began to prepare for business, with Amy playing the role of the proprietress, Lina playing the role of the waitress, and the remaining four dragoons playing the role of customers.

After preparation, they started business. Three of the four dragoon agents sat at different tables to ensure that they could pay attention to every move in the store, and the remaining one sat at the counter to ensure Amy's safety. Of course, Amy didn't actually need his protection.

After opening, several old customers came. They were surprised to see that the proprietress had been replaced and there was an extra waiter in the store.

In order to make their acting as realistic as possible, Amy and the others said that the proprietress had gone back to her hometown for a while and that she would be in charge of the store temporarily.

By the afternoon, all the customers in the store had left. Lina sat next to the two dragoons bored and complained after taking a sip of water:

"It's been a whole day. Is this plan really going to work? I've been working as a waiter here for a whole day, and those guys complained about my poor service attitude! Did you all see that?"

Although she had suffered as an adventurer before, Lina has now become accustomed to the life of a young lady. If she is asked to suffer again, she will soon start to complain.

"Hold on a little longer. According to what Master Lu Ren and the others said, we may have to stay here for a few days."

Amy was fine, as she often worked part-time when she was in college, so this level of work was no problem for her.

"Um...can you give me a cup of coffee?"

"what?!"

"No, it's nothing..."

The dragoon agent sitting next to them had been sitting here for a whole day and was a little thirsty, so he asked Lina, but Lina was just playing the role of a waitress after all, and now there were no outsiders in the store, so she was too lazy to continue acting.

"Ok?"

But just when Lina was sitting at the table to rest, she suddenly saw a man outside the window observing the situation inside. Through the window, Lina could see that the man had a ferocious appearance and a vicious temperament on his face. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

"Everyone, please pay attention."

Lina quickly stood up and continued to play the role of a waiter, pretending to wipe the table, while the others started doing their own things.

Not long after, the man walked in. He was about thirty years old. As soon as he entered the door, he looked around and then walked straight to the counter.

Behind him, Lina and the three dragoons were staring at him, and the other party walked behind the counter and first looked at Amy.

"Hello, what do you need?"

Amy tried to act as calm as possible. The other party was a little hesitant at this time, so he casually pointed to a jar on the counter next to Amy.

"Ok. Please wait for a moment."

While Amy was preparing drinks for him, the man sat at the counter and looked around. The dragoon agent beside him had already secretly prepared magic, ready to take action if the situation changed.

"..."

The man kept looking around, looking very uncomfortable. Ever since he entered here, he felt like a targeted prey. The dagger hidden under his black coat was also tightly grasped in his hand, but he did not dare to pull it out.

Suddenly, the man seemed to notice something. He turned his head and looked at the dragoon beside him. The latter quickly canceled the magic, then pretended nothing had happened and took a sip of the coffee in front of him.

But this did not fool him. The man noticed the discordant fluctuations. Just then Amy brought him the drink he ordered. After drinking it all, the man slapped a few copper coins on the table and left the store without looking back.

"Follow me quickly."

Seeing this, Lina immediately asked two dragoon agents to follow him. There was definitely something wrong with this man, and they would definitely discover something by following him.

As soon as the two dragoons went out, they found that the other side started to run without stopping, so they immediately followed.

The two sides started a chase, and the man ran all the way to a construction site, followed by the dragoon agents. However, there were many people and things everywhere in the construction site, so the two dragoon agents soon lost track of each other.

On the other side of the construction site, a man ran out in a panic. He looked around and saw that no one was following him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the next second he saw Lina and the others waiting for him here, so he turned around and ran away.

Lina and others also began to chase after him separately, and they chased him into an alley, where he finally stopped running.

But when Lina and the others found him, they saw him standing in a dead end, with some magic power still remaining around him, and it seemed that he had just used magic to communicate with someone else.

"I advise you not to struggle, just follow us!"

Realizing that the other party might have already informed her companions, Lina no longer cared about playing the long game and now only wanted to capture the other party and take him back for interrogation.

“Aaaaaa——!”

However, the next second, the opponent rushed towards Lina and the others like crazy, looking like he wanted to fight to the death.
