I, Moonlight Inaba, Want Friends

Inaba Tsukiya opened the curtains of the room, she looked at the situation outside, and sensed a figure secretly observing here in a dark corner.

When the person observed that Inaba Tsukiya was facing her, she was taken aback, and then saw Inaba Tsukiya waving to her in greeting, so scared that she turned around and ran away.

"She is confirming the location of our room? Is this trying to attack you? Or is she trying to get revenge on me because I frightened her and made her embarrassing? It's interesting. I'm curious that her condition can be do something."

"Don't do this, Yue Ye. It's already very bad for you to suddenly attack others just now. Village Chief Sergis has given you face by not saying anything. At least don't do such a thing until we prove mother's innocence, okay? "

Although the village chief didn't speak well, he didn't have any hostility. It's just that as the village chief of this village, he had to deal with the problem without any personal emotions.

Although Victoria was very dissatisfied with the other party and the villagers who expelled her mother, some polite etiquette still had to be done.

"I know what to do, but there are prerequisites, Victoria."

Inaba Tsukiya nodded Victoria's nose, showing a gentle smile.

"I think I have a good ability to control myself, but I can't just watch you being wronged. Whether those people are intentional or unintentional, I can't accept it."

"...idiot, big idiot."

Victoria Liga was stunned, and cursed with a smile on her face.

"Yeah, I'm a big fool. Because when faced with things about you, I will act like a big fool."

"...fool."

Chapter 040: Argument

After packing up the luggage, the village chief Sergis prepared lunch for everyone, and Victoria asked the village chief Sergis about the past.

"You want to know what happened that year? Do you want to cleanse Cordelia's sins?"

"Please pay attention to your words, Mr. Village Chief. What Victoria wants to do is not to wash away her sins, but to prove Miss Cordelia's innocence."

Tsukiyo Inaba interrupted Village Chief Sergis' words a little impolitely, and emphasized with a smile on his face.

"After all, it's possible that Miss Cordelia was not even at fault, but just a victim. Since she's just a victim, what's the crime?"

"But apart from Theodore, the village head of the previous generation, the only one who entered the study was Cordelia, who was in charge of delivering water."

Village Chief Sergis emphasized that he did not blame Inaba Tsukiyo for his rudeness, and he could see the relationship between the two from the fact that the other party stood up for Victoria just now.

It is normal for Inaba Tsukiyo to stand up for Victoria. If he keeps silent all the time, he will wonder if this guy is planning some conspiracy.

"Then please tell us what happened that year in as much detail as possible. As Cordelia's child, Victoria wants to clean up her mother's grievances. Do you have any reason to stop her?" ?”

Village Chief Sergis was silent for a while. He turned his head and glanced at Victoria. He noticed that her face was tense, but the determination in her eyes proved that she wanted to clear up her mother's grievances.

Looking at this girl who is 20% similar to Cordelia, the memory of Sergis Village Chief can't help but go back to [-] years ago, when Cordelia was driven out of the village and stood helplessly on the other side of the bridge. On the one hand, there is a picture of her looking at her only home with tears in her eyes.

At this moment, village chief Sergis felt guilt flashed in his heart. Cordelia was only 15 years old at the time, and she basically spent her previous life in the village.

I really don't know how she relied on her own strength to go down the mountain, and how she spent time in a completely strange place.

"I see. Since you want to prove it, I will give you this opportunity. Prove to me the wisdom of your [descendant of gray wolf], I really want to see what kind of answer you will give me."

Victoria Liga looked happy, and nodded heavily.

Village Chief Sergis began to talk about the case that happened that year. Village Chief Theodore was attacked at twelve o'clock in the night, and Cordelia was responsible for delivering water to the village chief.

Just when Cordelia opened the door with the key, she screamed, and then she ran out of the room in a hurry.

Village Chief Sergis checked the time with his pocket watch. It was indeed twelve o'clock at night, and Cordelia was very punctual, so she came there on time.

Cordelia's scream made everyone feel the scene immediately. They saw that the village chief Theodore had been stabbed to death with a dagger, and there were many gold coins scattered on the floor.

"Gold coins? Judging from the situation in this village, gold coins shouldn't be used here, right?"

"That's right. For this reason, the gold coins were kept in the custody of Village Chief Theodore. Cordelia suffered from an inexplicable high fever that day and was bedridden. It took her illness for more than a week before her fever subsided. At this time of her fever For a while, people in the village began to discuss this matter. In the end, the next village head, that is, I decided to expel her from the village."

After finishing speaking, Sergis sighed, obviously feeling unbearable for the decision at that time.

"Do you know what decision you have made? Mr. Village Chief. Miss Cordelia has never left the village, and she has just guessed that the fever has subsided and her body has not fully recovered. This is the case, you expel her the village?"

Inaba Tsukiyo asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone, even if she was really expelled from the village, at least she should be safely sent to the town, or when she recovered physically.

They actually expelled Cordelia, who was only 15 years old at the time, from the village without finding out the facts of the case. These guys really know how to do it!

"Sinners cannot be left alone, otherwise they will bring disaster to the village. It is my responsibility as the village head to protect this village!"

Village Chief Sergis pronounced ruthlessly that although he knew it was wrong to do so, the village's inherent concept made him have to make this decision for the sake of the village.

"Besides, almost everyone in the village regarded Cordelia as a sinner. She had no other relatives in the village, and Village Chief Theodore was always taking care of her. If she had stayed at that time, it would have been considered a crime. I can't keep her either."

He just became the village chief, but he is not that capable of protecting Cordelia. For Cordelia, leaving the village is the best choice, even if it is very cruel to do so.

"...Can you tell me about your discussions during Miss Cordelia's high fever? Or the results of your investigation during this period?"

Inaba Tsukiyo didn't get mad immediately, and she also saw that the reason why Village Chief Sergis did this was probably to calm down the restless villagers in the village, and at the same time to protect Cordelia's safety, although he couldn't guarantee the safety of Curdy. After Liya left the village, can she descend safely on the dangerous mountain?

"Because no one entered the study except Cordelia. Except for Cordelia and village head Theodore who have the key, basically no one else can enter the study."

When Village Chief Theodore was killed, the study was locked, and no one could enter the room except Cordelia who had the key to open the door.

It was this extremely simple evidence that made everyone think that Cordelia was the murderer.

"Hehe~hehehe~ amazing, really amazing."

After hearing the evidence from Village Chief Sergis, Inaba Tsukiyo couldn't help laughing. Anyone with a discerning eye could feel the irresistible ridicule from her laughter, as if she had heard some funny joke.

"Before I went to the village of Horowitz, I learned about the legend about [Grey Wolf]. It is said that this gray wolf is a race of wisdom. I also saw wisdom far beyond ordinary people in Victoria, but I am in you In front of the native gray wolf, there is no wisdom at all."

"...what do you want to say?"

Sergis Village said in a deep voice.

"I don't want to quarrel with you, Mr. Village Chief. It may be the reason why Village Chief Theodore was attacked. In addition, when you know that the only person who can enter the study is Miss Cordelia, you put all your thoughts Inferring from the conclusion [Codelia is the murderer], so you can guess this result. But after listening to your explanation, I think there are too many strange things in this matter."

Inaba Tsukiyo raised her index finger and said, "First of all, if Miss Cordelia really killed Mr. Theodore, why did she yell? Is it necessary for her to do such a thing?"

Then, she raised her middle finger: "Secondly, Cordelia was only 15 years old at the time. Would it be that simple to kill a man with a short knife with the strength of a girl? Even if she could really Can it really be done in such a short period of time?"

"The last thing is the testimony. Mr. Village Chief, you have said that the testimony of time does not match other people's testimony. In other words, you lied again, or something happened."

"Is there no clock in the study? If Miss Cordelia really delivers water at twelve o'clock at night, then the clock should ring. As long as they hear the bell, everyone who arrives at the scene should know the time is Twelve o'clock."

"The bell... I remember that there was indeed a clock in the study. When I rushed over, the clock didn't seem to ring?"

Village Chief Sergis took a long breath and thought about it. Since 20 years have passed, his memory of this period is somewhat blurred.

In order to prove whether the bell rang, the village chief Sergis called a few people who had also rushed to the scene back then, and the result of the inquiry was that the bell did not ring.

This is interesting, why only the bell in the night did not ring?She couldn't believe that the clock would break by such a coincidence.

Village Chief Sergis was overwhelmed by this discovery. There were indeed many doubts in this case, but he couldn't think of a murderer other than Cordelia.

"There are indeed a lot of questions here. But there are no answers to your questions. This will not prove Cordelia's innocence."

"I know that we came to this village just to prove this matter. We hope to clear Miss Cordelia's innocence, wash away her grievances, and let the people in the village know that she is not a sinner."

Inaba Tsukiyo came to Victoria's side, stretched out his hand to hold her somewhat cold hand, and said.

"I hope you can give us free time to investigate, Mr. Village Chief. I think you also think that the guilty must be punished, and you don't want innocent people to bear such crimes?"

Village Chief Sergis nodded, although he expelled Cordelia from the village, it was also a helpless move to protect her, and it was also a means of punishing the sinner.

If Cordelia really didn't do this thing, then he would never let that guy go, because that murderer dared to fool all of them!Such a sin cannot be forgiven under any circumstances!

"I understand! It's just that the village will start the summer solstice festival tomorrow, and all your investigations must be conducted without attracting attention. I will ask Amproz to assist you in investigating this matter, and he will provide you with the greatest help."

Amproz was the only male in the village present. The young man had been selected by the village chief Sergis as the next village chief's candidate, and asked him to assist in the investigation of this matter, and also to supervise Inaba Tsukiyo and Victorika.

After receiving the reply from the village chief, Inaba Tsukiyo felt that Victoria's strength in holding her hand had increased a lot, and it seemed that she was also very happy.

Although 20 years had passed, she believed that with Victoria's wisdom, Cordelia's innocence would definitely be proved!

Chapter 041: The expected murderer

Led by Amproz, Inaba Tsukiyo and Victoria came to the study where the homicide happened that year.

That study room has not been opened for a long time, and because of that time, the number of times it has been cared for is only a few times.

When the door was opened, the musty smell and the stale air made Inaba Tsukiya feel nauseated.

Victoria didn't care about the smell of the air, she immediately entered the room, her eyes focused on the unusual point of the conversation just now, which was the only clock in the room.

This is one of those old-fashioned mechanical clocks that make a [Dang, Dang] sound through the pendulum below once the hour is on the hour.

Victoria and Inaba Tsukiyo searched in the room, and after finding that there was no secret room or place to hide, there was only a small place in the clock where people could hide.

It's just that this clock is not big, even if there is a little space inside, it can only accommodate very small children, and the range of activities is still limited.

That being the case, the village chief Sergis can be ruled out. This guy was in his 20s 40 years ago. It is impossible to hide in that kind of body. Naturally, he would not kill the former village chief in order to get the position of village chief.

In this case, we can only focus on the children of 20 years ago, but... Will it really be the kind of thing they thought of?What kind of motive does a child have to kill the village chief?

But even if he guessed some general things, how to prove that the person is the criminal?

You must know that this case happened 20 years ago, and important clues have been lost over time. Unless that person admits, there is nothing to do.

[What should I do? 】

This question kept flashing through the minds of Victoria and Inaba Tsukiyo. The first thing that the irritable Inaba Tsukiyo thought of was torture. She had a few particularly useful skills. She believed that no one could bear that kind of torture.

But this is impossible, not to mention whether the village chief Sergis will agree to this matter, even Victoria will not agree.

"Um..."

Inaba Tsukiyo suddenly thought of something and whispered something in Victoria's ear.

Victoria Liga's eyes lit up, and she nodded to Inaba Tsukiyo, and exchanged thoughts with each other instantly through her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Inaba Tsukiyo led Amproz out of the study room, and the two of them spent about an hour asking some questions to the adults in the village.

After getting the exact answer, Inaba Tsukiya whispered something to Amproz, and the guy exploded immediately after hearing it, with disbelief written all over his face.

"Do you have any evidence to support your claim?"

"Twenty years have passed. Except for the dead village chief Theodore, only the murderer will know the truth of the matter. But you have to know one thing, that is, it is not only Ke Di who can enter the study. Miss Rhea alone."

Inaba Tsukiyo explained for a while, and her words gradually convinced Amproz. Although he still couldn't believe it, the idea had already wavered.
