The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

After Chris's narration ended and there was a long silence, Erhard continued the conversation.

"First of all, I feel very sad and sorry for what happened to Miss Ewenna. I can't justify the dereliction of duty and perfunctory of the Knights. However, I still think that this is not Miss Ewenna imitating the 'Dismemberer' "The reason for dismembering the corpse. Even if your actions did not cause direct victims, there are countless indirect victims. The impact of your actions, the turmoil and chaos they caused, will be of great concern to the residents of the city." It caused a lot of harm. Even if the real 'dismemberer' was drawn out by you, so that several members of the knight order died tragically at his hands, I don't think you are completely irresponsible!"

Erhard looked at Ewenna and said.

Her expression and tone were very complicated, and she was no longer [-]% hostile as before.

"Captain Green, please allow me to ask you two questions. That is, when the residents of the city desperately need help and try to rely on the Knights, what should they do if they are rejected and perfunctory? Can they How to do it?"

Riber stared at Erhard and asked seriously.

He always believed that Ewenna was a very special case.Because when an ordinary person encounters a grievance like her and learns that there are still murderers at large, they will definitely not be able to achieve the level of "If the Knights don't help, I will solve it myself".

Ordinary people will only be pushed one step further into the abyss of despair when they are desperate.

In Ribel's view, even if the residents of Greenwater City refute the incompetence of the Knights, the Knights are still the bottom line of the city and the last straw that the residents of the drowning city can grasp.And if this bottom line is lost, then everyone really can only fend for themselves.

"These questions are really sharp..."

Erhard said with a long sigh,

"These questions are more useful than any words that can wash away Miss Evanna, Your Excellency Campret."

After shrugging his shoulders, Erhard's expression suddenly became much lighter,

"Actually, you don't need to reveal these things. But you still want to show us these things. I think it's not to anger me, but to show the sincerity you said before. Now, your frankness, I I feel it. So, how about this? Let’s put it on hold for the time being and wait until all the recent commotion is over, then decide on what kind of guilt Miss Ewenna should commit.”

Erhard turned to Evanna,

"Of course, if Miss Ewenna has enough merits during the period, I don't mind using it to offset the guilt. After all, even if Miss Ewenna is guilty, it is not an unforgivable type."

Then, she turned to look at her secretary again,

"Lin, does my behavior comply with the regulations?"

The secretary called "Lin" pushed up her glasses and replied sternly,

"As long as it is not exposed, it complies with the regulations, Miss."

Lin's answer didn't contain any elements of humor, but Ribel almost smiled knowingly when he heard it.

This "Silver Wing Mask" is really a wonderful person.

Seeing that Erhard chose not to worry about Ewenna's affairs for the time being, Riber heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

If she was a wanted criminal, Ewenna's next actions would be more or less inconvenient.Even though, she has excellent cross-dressing ability.

As for who is right and who is wrong between the Knights and Evanna, Riber, as a bystander, can only say that both sides have problems, and the problems are not small.

Moreover, because of Dirk's death, Riber's inner grudge against Ivana has not disappeared.

However, since he has decided to protect Iwenna, he must firmly stand on Iwenna's side.

If you pretend to be reasonable and say something like "I'm not defending Ewenna", just fanning the flames is the real disgust.

"Then next, should we exchange information with each other and discuss specific cooperation matters?"

"Uh, before that, I have one more thing... No, there is another 'sincerity' that I haven't revealed."

Seeing Erhard who had adjusted his emotions and regrouped, Riber scratched his face in embarrassment and said.

"'Sincerity'..."

"That's right. In addition to Miss Ewenna, I actually hired a maid recently. However, this maid is still in a coma and has not woken up, so I can't come to see Captain Green."

"Oh... both 'sincerity' and 'maid'... Your Excellency Camprete really likes maids."

"Ahem... Anyway, to put it simply, my newly hired maid is usually called...'Strange Thief'."

"..."

Erhard was silent.

On the opposite side, Riber saw Erhard's forehead with his head hanging sideways, his right leg resting on top of his left, bent over and rubbing the center of his brow, and veins began to appear again.

Volume Two: Chapter 110 Six, Lin, write it down

It is undoubtedly far more difficult to convict the strange thief Lysa than Evanna.

Just like the difficulties that the Knights encountered when they first caught the strange thief.Wanting to prove that a monster is a monster is simply a world-class problem in this world without fingerprints, DNA and other technologies.

Perhaps, the unique magical power in this world can accurately prove that Lysa is the strange thief in a completely different form.But obviously, the cost of doing so is high.The Knights of Greenwater City do not have such conditions.

Moreover, in the final analysis, the strange thief is just a more famous thief after all.

Therefore, Riber would tell Lysa's matter to Erhard, the leader of the Knights, rather than being "honest", it would be better to say that he is confident.

After a good discussion with his steward Sebastian, Liberty was convinced that as long as he decided to grant asylum, neither Ywenna nor Lysa, the knights would be able to arrest and judge him beyond the earl.

In other words, Riber's actions seem to be trusting the Knights and taking risks.But the result was set from the very beginning.

The only factor that made Riber feel that it was not planned was that he did not expect that the head of Greenwater City was a "lady" who seemed to be violent and beat him up at any time.

Fortunately, Erhard still felt Riber's sincerity, so he didn't get violent on the spot.

Moreover, judging from the fact that Erhard's sitting posture, demeanor and atmosphere have become much more casual now.Riber felt that Erhard should have let go.

He didn't want to talk about the previous Erhard, but said that he was pretending to be elegant.Instead, he believes that Erhard did not fully release his nature before.

All in all, Erhard held his nose and agreed to temporarily put Ywenna and Lysa on hold, and agreed for them to participate in the investigation of the case later.And said that when necessary, the Knights will also cooperate.

...

...

In the evening, in the unnamed restaurant, the talks between Riber and Erhard were still going on.

With the exception of the two criminals, Ewena and Lysa, there was no real conflict between Riber and the Knights.Ever since, the atmosphere of the subsequent conversation became much more harmonious.

Chris, who went back to his room, put a large stack of documents on the table when he came back.

After casually picking up a few pieces of information and looking at them, Erhard's expression became exciting.

"Detective Eisenspear, these should be the confidential documents of the Knights, right? Did you move the archives of the Knights to your home?"

"Hey, don't worry, I took this when I was an advisor to the Knight Order, so strictly speaking, it's not a violation."

Chris said with a playful smile.

And of course, Erhard wasn't impressed at all.

"How could it not be considered a violation! All confiscated!"

"Eh?"

"Hey..."

Erhard seemed to have a headache and raised his forehead,

"As part of the cooperation with His Excellency Campret, the archives of the Knights will be opened to Detective Eisenspear in the future."

As he said that, Erhard's expression became complicated,

"Originally, I planned to exchange information with the Knights of the Knights with His Excellency Camprete. But now it seems that the Knights should not be able to provide useful information for everyone in a short time."

Listening to Erhard's words, Riber naturally shook his head slightly, expressing that he didn't mind.

On the other side, Chris couldn't hold back and began to tell,

"The reason why I present this part of the data today is because I found a very interesting thing from these materials. That is, since almost 12 years ago, in Greenwater City, the appearance of serial killers has always been Following the 'order'."

"Oh?"

Erhard looked at Chris with great interest.Not only her, but other people present also cast their eyes on Chris.

"Just take the recent period as an example. If you don't count Miss Evanna, the unexpected 'dismemberer'. Well, look. The serial killer who ravaged the city from late May to early August, commonly known as 'Screaming Ghost'. Just three days after the 'Screaming Ghost' was captured, the 'Night Devil' became active. And when 'Night Devil' was captured by Mr. Riber, the 'Crimson Hunter' started to act again. "

Speaking of this, Erhard roughly understood what Chris wanted to express.So, she reached out and grabbed the documents that Chris had carefully sorted out and looked through them carefully, and then her face gradually became serious.

Before "Screaming Ghost", there were other criminals active in Greenwater City, and before that criminal, there was also a new serial killer a few days later.

"This is..."

Erhard flipped through the pages quickly, and found that, as Chris said, a large number of serial killers have almost formed a line in the past 12 years, running through the timeline of Greenwater City from beginning to end.

And there are many reasons why she didn't notice this sign before.

For example, few people would arrange, arrange, and connect a large number of seemingly unrelated cases like Chris.For another example, some other criminals were mixed in to confuse the public.

In addition, when each serial killer was arrested, he said that he was carrying so many murders on his body, which seemed quite horrifying.However, if the factor of time is also included, the number of Greenwater City residents killed by serial killers in a year is actually only a dozen or twenty.

This is really just a big splash in Greenwater, where hundreds of people are involved in various murders every year.

Of course, the severity of serial killers cannot be denied.

The "celebrities" who seem to have never stopped have more or less promoted the folk customs of Greenwater City to remain simple.

"It's not so much that the continuity in time is proof of the existence of this mysterious organization composed of serial killers. It is better to say that most of the time, the active periods of serial killers do not overlap, and only one serial killer in a period is the real proof. .According to the 'Dismemberer' obviously also belonged to that organization, and in terms of time, it was after he and his accomplices came to Greenwater City that the mysterious organization appeared. Therefore, I boldly speculate that the 'Dismemberer' and his cohorts, made a huge contribution to the establishment of the organization, and may even be the founder."

"A reasonable guess."

Erhard nodded and motioned to her secretary Lin to record what Chris said.

"I have a question."

Riber aloud to join the conversation,

"Chris, how did you tell from the many criminals that these criminals belong to that mysterious organization?"

"From many aspects, Mr. Riber. However, one of the most important ones is that most of these criminals are well-known and have resounding 'alias'."

"I see."

Riber nodded.

"Then since there are serial killers with nicknames, there are a lot of overlaps with the serial killers of mysterious organizations. Does it mean that those who gave these criminals nicknames are very suspicious?"

"As expected of Mr. Riber, it is an interesting point of view. But who is giving these criminals nicknames?"

Chris's words stopped the people present for a moment.

No one really knows where these symbols-like aliases come from.

As if, without knowing it, the terrifying reputation of serial killers spread in the city as it should be.

"The source of the nickname... Lin, write this down. Our knight order will allocate enough people to investigate this matter."

Erhard's voice brought a sense of peace of mind.

But at the same time, Riber felt the pressure.This is because Erhard will take it as important information to investigate such a completely negligible matter as "the source of another name".The reason is just a few words from Riber.

Such trust is somewhat heavy.

"However, what is the purpose of this mysterious organization? Why do they keep the famous serial killer active in Greenwater?"

Erhard asked puzzled.

And her question is destined to have no answer.

Because, the mysterious organization is really too mysterious at present, lacking countless puzzle pieces.

"On this point, I also hope that Captain Erhard can step up to interrogate the 'Blaster Demon' who was arrested yesterday. According to the law, the 'Blaster Demon' should be a member of the mysterious organization."

Chris suggested.And Erhard nodded in agreement, and said that if he got the news, he would notify them as soon as possible.

"In addition to this information, do you have any other information that you can provide to the Knights?"

Erhard glanced at the people at the table, and said a little embarrassingly.

The Knights, with hundreds of people, turned out to be less familiar with the extremely dangerous mysterious organization raging in Greenwater City than a few people like Ribel.

Erhard was actually quite embarrassed.

Moreover, what made her even more embarrassed was that before she returned to Greenwater City, she once suspected that there was something wrong with Riber, the earl who suddenly appeared in Greenwater City.

After all, although law and order had been a problem in the past, Greenwater City could still make do with repairs after all.It seems that since the Earl of Campret came, the water boiled directly.Strange things and big things happen all the time.

However, after conducting various confirmations and evaluations, and meeting with Riber in person like now, Erhard's inner doubts about Riber have completely subsided.

In the following time, Riber and others began to provide Erhard with information.

For example, the attack in Nancheng District, the encounter between Evanna and Lysa and the "Night Demon" and so on.

Help Erhard understand more deeply, what kind of power the mysterious organization they are fighting against now has.

Originally, these things should have been reported when Chris visited the Knights yesterday.However, after discovering that there was obviously an inner ghost among the knights, Chris temporarily changed his mind.
