The world controlled by dice [Western Fantasy]
Chapter 106 The Normal State of the World
Siles was equally impressed by the words Kellogg mentioned.
The book "Summary of Shadow Chronicle Literature" is the book on the list provided by Kellogg, which provided the most inspiration for Siles.He once again glimpsed the relationship between gods and believers at that time from the perspective of literature.
It should be said that after the end of the long Imperial Era, when the shadows struck—no matter what such shadows represented—the relationship between gods and believers also underwent a subtle change.
Usually, people fear the gods and believe in the gods.No matter which god it is, ordinary people will maintain the most basic respect and fear.They dare not speak loudly about the existence of the gods, and can only respect the mighty power of the gods beyond their comprehension.
But in the Shadow Age, the situation changed.A troupe could even write a play satirizing a self-destructive god-believer.This kind of thing has never happened in the past.
Siles was quite curious about this.He wanted to know what kind of social environment created such a literary creation.
In the Shadow Age, has the status of the gods changed?What does this have to do with the possible "major events" in the Shadow Era?
Unfortunately, there are no relevant historical materials mentioned in the book.It may also be that this part of the historical data has not been discovered by people, at least on the Duchy of Const.
Because of this, Siles is also very interested in the archaeological site that Professor Dunlop went to.He was looking forward to what great breakthroughs they would discover that would cause a sensation in the world.
In the end, Siles also ended this club activity with the last sentence in "Summary of Shadow Chronicle Literature".
"'We look up to the world, but maybe one day, the world will fall for us.'" Siles said, "Human civilization has always been developing in the arms of gods since its birth. But since the Shadow Age, everything Everything has changed.”
The students in the audience looked at Siles.
Siles thought for a while and said: "On a Friday in December, we will go outside to visit an exhibition. In the next event, we can discuss the impact of economic activities on our lives, as well as literature. Influence."
He's heard students say it's a bit of a weird topic, something they've never thought of.In addition, he also noticed that his two apprentices showed thoughtful expressions.
When Siles met with them yesterday, he gave them the book list for the new semester and asked them about their thoughts on this semester paper.The two apprentices have their own simple ideas, but they haven't been able to make a real decision yet.
Perhaps Siles' club activities can also inspire them.
After the students left, Siles was slightly relieved.Another week of teaching activities has passed, and the next is the time belonging to the "revelator" and "novelist" Siles Noel.
...although still very busy.
"Dong dong." There were two knocks on the door.
"Congratulations, the weekend is coming." Qin Duo said.
Siles was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "You say that, as if you are mocking me."
"What are you mocking?" Qin Duo tilted her head.
"...Busy." Siles tilted his head and looked at him calmly, "Don't deny it, Qindo. I think you are looking forward to Monday after the weekend."
Cendo smiled in a low voice, then walked up to Siles, and held his slightly cold hand: "...your hands are always so cold. Anyway, yes, I am really looking forward to our new date .”
On the contrary, Siles was a little speechless because of his calm attitude.
After that, Siles packed up his things and left the classroom with Cendo.
"Are you going to the Historical Society tomorrow?" Qin Duo asked.
"No." Siles shook his head, "Tomorrow morning I have a meeting with the publisher, papers... and new novels. It should be on the agenda."
Qin Duo sighed: "The academic papers have been solved, and there are still novels waiting for you. Of course, I am very much looking forward to your new works, and I am also your loyal reader now.
"However, Professor Noel, don't you think you have caused too much trouble for yourself?"
"These things have to be sorted out." Siles said objectively, "Of course, I also feel a little busy."
Qin Duo muttered something, and then said, "Besides, there's that shop in West City."
"...Don't remind me at this time." Siles said helplessly.
Qin Duo laughed, a playful and gentle smile flashed in his emerald green eyes.He said, "Sometimes I like to see you distressed."
Siles: "..."
... Is this still the Qin Duo he is familiar with?
It was a little late, so they went directly to the cafeteria for dinner.On the morning of the second day, Siles took a copy of his thesis and went to Atherton Square to meet the publisher Benton.
Surprisingly, businessman Ranmir also appeared.
It was still the restaurant where they first met.Benton had already prepared snacks and hot tea, and sat there with a smile on his face.Beside him, Ranmier also sat there with a smile on his face.
... Seeing the smiling faces of the two businessmen, Siles felt that today's conversation seemed to have some ulterior motive.
But they first talked about the thesis.
"You don't have to worry." Benton said very courteously. "Since you mentioned this to me, I have already contacted a journal for you in advance. Of course, I have to ask, what is your paper about?" ?”
"Wandering poets of the Sardinian Empire." Siles paused, and after noticing Benton's somewhat bewildered expression, he added, "They are followers of Lycardia. I gave examples in the thesis."
"What?!" Benton raised his voice almost subconsciously, "Are you sure? Your thesis involves an old god?"
"Uh, it can't be said that way." Siles explained honestly, "It just confirms the beliefs of a group of poets."
He analyzed this matter from a literary point of view—after all, an author's beliefs can indeed affect his work—but the two businessmen in front of him did not seem to evaluate this matter so simply.
Langmeer said from the side: "Look, Benton. As I said earlier, Professor Noel is a very outstanding young scholar. You don't have to worry about the quality of his papers."
"...of course I understand that!" said Benton, who couldn't help adding, "I just feel...Professor, your paper is too scary! How can you hide such a big discovery in the general public?" In ordinary academic papers!"
Siles remained calm and silent.
He didn't think the discovery was that important either.But his ideas seem out of tune with the people of this era.Of course, it may also be because he understands that there are more terrifying inside stories behind this, so he doesn't care about the beliefs of the wandering poets themselves.
He handed Benton a copy of the paper.Benton flipped through it, browsed for a while, and then sighed, "You really... who would have thought that you would make such an important discovery at such a young age.
"If you ask me, after the publication of this paper, the professor of history may wish you to study history instead of continuing to bury your head in the field of literature."
Siles smiled slightly, thinking that Professor Bright had said the same thing before.He said: "I still concentrate on literature."
"Indeed. It can also be seen from your enthusiasm for creating novels." Benton changed the subject logically, "So, when is your new novel going to be published?"
Siles hesitated for a moment, and then mentioned the matter of Professor Mantel to Benton.Of course, he whitewashed the vocabulary a little.
"So," he said, "I'm afraid I'll have to continue working under a pseudonym."
Benton slowly opened his mouth wide, and then closed it abruptly. He said almost angrily, "What a ignorant old man!"
Siles shook his head, motioning him not to say that.
Benton then turned to say: "Since that's the case, your approach is certainly possible..."
"Professor, but I don't think you need to be very worried about this matter." Ranmier said disapprovingly, "This...Professor Mantel, he may think that he is just suppressing a young professor casually, so that the young man will pay more memory.
"However, after your paper is published, the situation is completely different. It must be an 'outstanding' paper, and maybe that Professor Mantel has not published such a paper.
"By that time, this old professor who relied on the old to sell the old may have to abdicate to make way for the virtuous."
Benton nodded repeatedly, indicating that he thought so too.
Siles is not so optimistic about this, or in other words, he does not want the situation to develop to that extent.
He said: "I can understand, thank you for your kindness. However, I still need to change my pen name to write."
This approach is due to the increasingly dangerous things he is currently involved in.If he continues to write under his real name, then these dangers are likely to affect those related to his "novelist" status.
Even if the connection between this pseudonym and him is easy to find out, but it can play a little role, Siles is satisfied.
Benton nodded: "Of course, that's no problem. New novel, what do you plan to write?"
"Adventures, it should be." Siles nodded towards Langmire, "I went to the Land of Never Embers not long ago, and got a lot of inspiration there. Mr. Langmire also understands this."
Ranmir hesitated to speak, and finally nodded with a smirk.His expression probably said that it was not as simple as "many inspirations".
Benton didn't think too much about it, he just said, "Adventure novels are also a good choice. By the way, professor, have you considered serializing novels in newspapers?"
Siles was taken aback, and said, "Serialized...in the newspaper?"
"If you're going to publish the whole book, it's not out of the question," Benton said, "however, it's been a harsh winter, and many readers are looking forward to some written comfort in such a cold weather.
"It would be great if you can serialize your novels in newspapers. This will allow your text to meet readers earlier...you can publish it after a while, and when the full-text serialization is over, you can publish a full-length novel. Isn't that Is there a better option?"
Siles nodded, understanding.He thought about it, and then replied: "This is indeed a good choice."
In the current busy life of Siles, writing novels can only be done in time, and it is still a low priority.If he wants to write the whole book, he doesn't know when this matter will be dragged on by him.
Serialization divides tasks into different time periods.Besides... he is very familiar with serialization.He has even been thinking almost instinctively, where to break a chapter will most make readers dream.
He smiled slightly and said, "Then let's serialize it in the newspaper."
Benton also clapped his hands with a smile, and said: "Then, you can think of a pseudonym, and then submit the manuscript regularly. Generally speaking, it is serialized once every week to half a month, and you can arrange the time yourself.
"At that time, you can send the content of your novel to the publishing house. You have been there before. The recipient can directly write my name."
Siles nodded.
Ranmier said in a timely manner: "Then, after talking about your affairs, it's my turn."
Siles looked at him with some interest.Since the separation from the Never Embers, Sirius has not heard any news about Ranmere.He was a little surprised why Ranmir appeared here.
Why did this businessman, who is not profitable but not early, participate in the conversation between him and Benton?
"Professor Noel, first of all, I have to thank you for your actions in the Land of No Embers. No matter what, you saved my business and the lives of countless explorers."
Siles said in a low voice: "I can't say that. I just try to do what I think I should do."
Ranmeer nodded with a smile, and didn't seem to want to deny Sirius' thoughts.But he still said: "It's your business that you think so. Those of us who are under your care need to be grateful for your actions after all."
He probably saw that Siles didn't like this kind of conversation very much, so he quickly changed the topic: "I just returned to Lamifah City not long ago and visited many colleagues. I learned from Mr. Bertram Finn There, I heard that you are planning to open a shop?"
"It is true. However, I haven't figured out what to do yet." Siles said, "My November is very busy. I'm afraid I will have to think about it later."
Ranmier suddenly nodded, and he said graciously: "I understand. Professor, if you need my help, contacts or connections, or any factories, please feel free to come to me. You also know the address of my home. When the time comes Just write."
Siles thanked him for his kindness.
Speaking of this, Langmire mentioned the real purpose of his appearance this time.
"Do you know that there is a kind of playing card that is quite popular in Land of No Ashes recently." Ranmier said tentatively, "I heard that it is called Noel's playing card, and I immediately thought of you."
Siles: "..."
He couldn't help but fell into a subtle silence.
Langmeer noticed Sirius' expression and said, "Sure enough, this matter is related to you, I guessed it. Did you invent this card?"
Benton on the side cast a curious look.
Siles shook his head, and he finally explained: "No, it's not. The inventor of the playing cards is now missing. The factory that printed these playing cards, you should have heard, is the printing factory of the Jillini family .”
Benton exclaimed, "Gilliney! Professor Noel, if you remember the eight-petal rose paper I gave you, those papers came from Gilney's factory."
Sure enough, Sirius thought.
Instead he said: "The inventor of the playing cards placed an order with Gilney's printing house, took the deck of cards for the first proof, and then disappeared. Alva—you know, Mr. Langmire, is The young man with us.
"He kept a deck of cards with him as a pastime when he was bored. The first game was to make cards that meet certain conditions. I thought this game was a bit boring, so I came up with the game of battle.
"I'm afraid this is also a popular way of playing in Endless Land. As far as I know, the Jilini family doesn't pay much attention to this card, and Alva himself prefers to vigorously promote it rather than restricting copyright.
"If you want to cooperate with them, then you can go directly to the Jilini family for related discussions."
Langmire has been listening to Sirius' words carefully, until he finished speaking, and then said: "So, what about you?"
Siles couldn't help being startled, and said with some surprise: "Me?"
"Yes, you created this way of fighting, so what do you think?" Ranmier asked patiently and gently.
It was only then that Siles realized that although this kind of card battle was commonplace for him from Earth, it was a brand new and creative way of playing for people in Fischer's world.
He could have profited from it, even if he never thought about it, didn't even realize it.
Siles said almost without thinking: "I don't have such a gameplay. I just... It should be said, I just put forward an idea, and then I and my companions jointly expanded this 'idea' into a practical gameplay.
"Are you planning to promote this card game?"
Ranmeer said, "That's true. But I must ask for your opinion, after all, I am very grateful for your previous help."
...The implication is that if it was someone else, Langmier would probably not have asked such a question?Siles thought.Businessman, not surprisingly.
He said: "Of course there is no problem. You can discuss specific cooperation matters with Jilini."
Regarding the matter of the fate card, they had already decided when the four of them were still in Eternal Land.After all, it was the card brought by Alva, so all future business affairs will be decided by the Jilini family behind Alva.
Of course, Alva has always said that this final proceeds will be shared with them.
Ranmir nodded with satisfaction: "That would be great."
Benton asked curiously from the side: "So, what is the gameplay?"
It was almost noon, and they had lunch here together.During the dinner, Siles and Ranmeer explained the playing of cards to Benton.Benton looked very interested, and said, "Looks like I'll have to ask the Gillineys for a deck of cards."
Siles said: "They should be drawing new cards now." He had heard from Alva about this, "The previous cards were relatively simple, but they were not very suitable for the game. They want to combine the value of the card with the Ability is written on the cards."
Ranmir said with great interest: "That is indeed a good idea." He said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can first promote this gameplay in Ramifa City."
Benton also mentioned some of his own ideas with great interest.
That's what happens in the business world, and Siles didn't take part in their conversation.
As the meal was coming to an end, Ranmier suddenly sighed.He said: "It sounds like a very promising business. I just hope that the old men in the city will not get in the way."
"how?"
"I don't participate in this business of gambling, so I have to let you know first." Langmir made his position clear first, "However, even if it is entertainment that does not involve gambling, there are still many elderly nobles who are not used to it." .
"They want young people to continue this old-fashioned, boring life - study in peace and order, and follow their old ways. The family of painters continues to paint, and the family of politicians continues to be in politics...you can understand what I mean ?
"These old nobles, they want to control the lives and thoughts of the descendants of the family, just like what they have been doing all their lives. But the ideas of the young people are getting farther and farther away from them. The conflict between the two sides has always existed.
"And if I want to promote this kind of card game, ordinary residents don't need to worry the least. What I worry about is these old nobles who are not very likable and always cut off their money.
"They probably feel that this kind of entertainment has corrupted the 'pure spirituality' of the young people in their family. Ha, they don't think about how their extremely corrupt ideas can educate young people who can keep up with the trend of the times. "
Langmeer's last words seemed a little extreme, probably because of long-standing grievances.
But Siles could somehow understand his thoughts—think of Dorothea Grant, think of Emil Harrison, the boy who kept walking in the gallery of his dreams.
He couldn't help thinking that, from all angles, after 400 years of long development, the people in the Wuzhong Period had reached a crossroads.They need to make a choice, and the right to choose is always in everyone's hands.
After the meal, the three said goodbye to each other.
Benton said: "Your paper will be published next week. At that time, I will send the journal to you in advance. You may have heard of the journal's name, which is "Literary Review."
Siles suddenly realized, and said, "I do know. It's a very good academic journal."
Benton said with a smile: "Compared to the benefits brought by your previous novel, I only provided a very small help. In short, congratulations on the publication of your paper, and look forward to your masterpiece next year!"
"The Revenge of the Rose" is still bringing a steady stream of benefits to Siles, and it has already been promoted.Siles thought the novel would probably bring him five thousand dukes in the end.
... Uh, from a certain point of view, this is also thanks to the promotion of those followers of the old gods.
Siles swirled these thoughts in his mind, and then smiled slightly, thanking Benton for his kindness.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and said, "By the way, Mr. Langmire. I know you were engaged in the Stardust business before. I would like to ask, do you know where other Stardust veins are located? Even The deserted stardust veins are also fine."
Ranmere was a little surprised to hear this question, and after a while, he looked at Sirius meaningfully, probably thinking that Sirius understood something special about Star Dust—in fact, he did.
However, Ranmier probably couldn't possibly guess what Sirius knew.
"I can try to find out for you," Ranmeer said, "but I'm afraid you can't get your hopes up too much. Almost all businessmen will keep such things a secret. Of course, if you have the means, you can also learn from the church of the past. Let's start there, and that side knows a lot more than us."
Siles nodded knowingly and thanked Ranmere.
After saying goodbye to the two businessmen, Siles went to 18 Houseville Street.His mind gradually focused on today's meeting, because if nothing else happened, Eric Collens would bring relevant information about the Darrow family today.
Brewer Darrow died at the beginning of August, and it is now the end of November.Nearly four months later, the case is still going nowhere.This is also something that makes Celes feel a little discouraged.
However, they still have to do their best.
Because he didn't eat at No. 18 Houseville Street at noon that day, it was nearly one o'clock in the afternoon when Siles arrived.His companions were already seated, and they were solemnly staring at the pile of materials in front of them.
There are two stacks in total, the left stack is more orderly, and the right stack is very messy.
"Good afternoon," said Siles, "this is..."
"Information about the Darrow family." Angela said softly.
Even Darrell, who was the liveliest, was staring at the paper in front of him with a very serious expression at the moment, as if he was in a daze.
Eric has remained silent.
Mrs. Fuller clapped her hands and said, "Okay, everyone, don't be so depressed. The deceased is gone. All we need to do is to find out about this matter."
They all nodded in agreement.Afterwards, the atmosphere in the room finally relaxed.
Mrs. Fuller first said to Siles: "Congratulations, Professor. Your project summary will be published next week. Even if it is only for members of the Historical Society, it is still your extraordinary achievement."
Siles was startled, and then he realized that what Mrs. Fuller was talking about was his "self-reincarnation" ceremony.The First Corridor, where Mrs. Fuller was located, was originally responsible for handling these administrative affairs, so it was also responsible for publishing the results of these subjects.
Siles was a little surprised to realize that by accident, his two research results at the University of Ramifa and at the Historical Society were published in the same week.
He couldn't help saying: "This is indeed good news." He paused, and then shared the academic paper with others.
Angela gave a heartfelt admiration: "You are really amazing."
Siles couldn't help smiling at her childish compliment.
After a short period of relaxation, they began to organize and read the pile of materials in front of them.
These materials are actually divided into two categories. One is the investigation of the Second Corridor of the Historical Society after the incident. Siles saw the signature of Clarissa Burney, the enlightener, at the end of many of the documents.
The other category is the transcripts of the internal materials of the Darrow family.Eric made a special introduction to this.
The Darrow family is a noble family with a long heritage that has now declined, so its family library has a very rich number of books.During the investigation of the second corridor, only a part of the information that should be useful was collected and transcribed.
"So there are still a lot of materials that no one has read?" Darrell couldn't help asking, "Aren't you worried about missing important clues in the second corridor?"
Eric said helplessly: "That's true, but... To be honest, it is indeed a very large library, so there is not so much time in the second corridor to investigate one by one."
Darrell was startled, then understood.
"So where are those materials now?" Siles couldn't help asking.
"If there is no accident, it should be sealed somewhere by the Historical Society." Eric said, "I heard that if something happens to such a noble family, their inheritance will be temporarily kept by the bank?"
Both Mrs. Fuller and Angela nodded.
Mrs. Fuller even added: "Until the person with the right to inherit appears, the bank or other estate agent will come forward and hand it over to the heir. If no one inherits after decades, then an auction will be held, or donate.
"These clauses will be specified in the noble's will. Of course, there are very few situations that can actually trigger the clauses..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help shaking her head.
Eric said: "Yes, I heard that too. However, because the Darrow family's affairs involved the followers of the old gods, these family books and archives were sealed separately.
"These I brought here are some of the content after sorting out. It's rough, but it can give us a rough understanding of this incident."
They all nodded, and continued to read, chatting with each other occasionally, exchanging information they read.
Siles picked up an investigation report and flipped through it.That was the investigation and arrangement of the Darrow family's collection of books.
"...
"The Darrow family's book collection is located in the basement of the mansion. It is roughly an underground space of about 1000 square meters. It has a collection of about [-] books in total, as well as other independent files, materials, manuscripts, etc. in countless numbers.
"According to the investigation, the Darrow family came to the Duchy of Constance 400 years ago. They helped the Duchy of Constance to tide over the difficulties at that time, so they were appreciated by the Grand Duke at that time and awarded the title of knighthood.
"However, for a long time, there are no outstanding talents in the younger generations of the family, and the family has gradually declined, and it can no longer be called a qualified noble family. However, its collection of books is still worth reading.
"According to the information provided by a certain enlightener within the society, I searched the relevant files in the library, but I did not find any records related to 'believers meet the gods'. I am not sure if someone took it away, or other possibilities The matter is doubtful.
"Most of the books in the collection are not in the language of the Principality of Const, which is consistent with the origin of the Darrow family. After textual research and comparison, the text of these books is consistent with the text near Kansas City of the Silent Sardinian Empire, so it can be temporarily determined that Darrow The family hails from what was once Kansas City.
"Except for the above-mentioned books written in Kansas, the rest of the books are collected after the Darrow family appeared in Conster. No valuable clues have been investigated.
"In addition to books, this problem also exists with related materials including archives, documents, and manuscripts. Attempts are currently being made to contact relevant people who can read Kansas script.
"There are some materials in Const's text, but after reading it, I found that its content is basically irrelevant to this case. It is a record of the family situation, as well as the daily records of some family members.
"The only possible connection to this incident is a conversation recorded in one of the manuscripts.
"The manuscript mentioned that a certain writer was very interested in the conversation record between an ancestor of the Darrow family and a poet, so he borrowed the conversation record from the owner of the manuscript, that is, someone from the Darrow family. And that This conversation is taking place in Kansas City in the Silent Age.
"I suspect that this matter may be related to the past experience of the Darrow family, and can provide some relevant and older information. However, we have not found clues in the relevant files of the Const text.
"Considering that this happened in the first 100 years of the Age of Mist, the Darrow family may not have been able to get rid of the influence of Kansas at that time, and perhaps members of the family will learn both Conster language and Kansas language.
"Therefore, it is very likely that the materials borrowed by this writer were translated orally by someone in the family. It is also very reasonable that the translation of Const's text cannot be found.
"This transcript should be hidden in the Kansas text section. The matter remains to be investigated.
"Besides, about Brewer Darrow's mysterious fiancée. We tried to find their marriage deed or marriage letter in the library or other places, but we couldn't find any relevant information.
"The above is a related investigation report on the collection of books and archives of the Darrow family.
"Clarissa Burney. 400 August 8.
"..."
This investigation report did not make any contribution to the investigation of the Darrow family's incident, but Siles' eyes were fixed on one sentence.
"Conversation"?
...a noble patriarch of the Darrow family, with...with Aldous Gershwin, with the wandering poet?So the person who borrowed the conversation is also the author of "The Poet's Fate", Archibald Jon?
Siles was astonished to realize the coincidence.
He knew that the Darrow family only came to the Principality of Const 400 years ago; he also knew that the "Fate of the Poet" mentioned that the family migrated from Kansas City, so he kept the conversation records between the ancestors and the wandering poets.
But he never expected that these two families are actually the same!Just so happens to be Brewer Darrow's family!
Such a coincidence surprised Sirius.
The others asked him what was the matter, and Sirius told what he had discovered.In addition, he asked Eric: "Is it possible to get this transcript?"
Eric pondered for a while, then shook his head regretfully, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get those archived materials, maybe the revealer with a higher position in the Historical Society will have a way?"
Siles thought of Carol immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I see. This transcript is very useful for my project. Maybe I should find a way to get this transcript."
Darrell touched his chin and asked curiously, "Which subject?"
Siles was taken aback.
Angela laughed immediately: "Professor, you have too many subjects!"
Siles: "..."
Could it be that he wants to be so busy?Thinking about it now, the days of writing novels on Earth are like a salted fish.
The rest laughed.
At this time, Mrs. Fuller suddenly said, "Look at this report."
She placed the report in the center of the table.
Mrs Fuller said: "This is after the incident, the revealer of the second corridor went to the Darrow family mansion, and then conducted an investigation ... equivalent to the investigation report of the first scene."
Siles read it roughly, and then keenly noticed a problem: "They didn't investigate the trash can."
"Yes." Mrs. Fuller said softly, "but they did investigate the surrounding situation, and also asked the neighbors for clues and questions...Why did they ignore the trash can?"
Siles pondered for a moment, then asked, "Has any of you seen the police investigation report?"
"In my place," Eric said, "similar to the investigation in the second corridor, and also did not pay attention to the trash can."
They looked at each other.
Angela said softly: "This can't be...a problem?"
The investigation of the case naturally required the investigators to find out the situation near the crime scene, and they did it, regardless of whether it was the police or the second corridor.However, they also ignored one of the most obvious features near the crime scene: the trash can.
However, why did the private detective notice the trash can when he came to investigate later?
Sirius thought, Is it Detective Jon's problem?
However, Detective Jon's character card attribute is psychology expertise, how did he manage to discover clues that other revealers failed to discover?
heart of ciles
The book "Summary of Shadow Chronicle Literature" is the book on the list provided by Kellogg, which provided the most inspiration for Siles.He once again glimpsed the relationship between gods and believers at that time from the perspective of literature.
It should be said that after the end of the long Imperial Era, when the shadows struck—no matter what such shadows represented—the relationship between gods and believers also underwent a subtle change.
Usually, people fear the gods and believe in the gods.No matter which god it is, ordinary people will maintain the most basic respect and fear.They dare not speak loudly about the existence of the gods, and can only respect the mighty power of the gods beyond their comprehension.
But in the Shadow Age, the situation changed.A troupe could even write a play satirizing a self-destructive god-believer.This kind of thing has never happened in the past.
Siles was quite curious about this.He wanted to know what kind of social environment created such a literary creation.
In the Shadow Age, has the status of the gods changed?What does this have to do with the possible "major events" in the Shadow Era?
Unfortunately, there are no relevant historical materials mentioned in the book.It may also be that this part of the historical data has not been discovered by people, at least on the Duchy of Const.
Because of this, Siles is also very interested in the archaeological site that Professor Dunlop went to.He was looking forward to what great breakthroughs they would discover that would cause a sensation in the world.
In the end, Siles also ended this club activity with the last sentence in "Summary of Shadow Chronicle Literature".
"'We look up to the world, but maybe one day, the world will fall for us.'" Siles said, "Human civilization has always been developing in the arms of gods since its birth. But since the Shadow Age, everything Everything has changed.”
The students in the audience looked at Siles.
Siles thought for a while and said: "On a Friday in December, we will go outside to visit an exhibition. In the next event, we can discuss the impact of economic activities on our lives, as well as literature. Influence."
He's heard students say it's a bit of a weird topic, something they've never thought of.In addition, he also noticed that his two apprentices showed thoughtful expressions.
When Siles met with them yesterday, he gave them the book list for the new semester and asked them about their thoughts on this semester paper.The two apprentices have their own simple ideas, but they haven't been able to make a real decision yet.
Perhaps Siles' club activities can also inspire them.
After the students left, Siles was slightly relieved.Another week of teaching activities has passed, and the next is the time belonging to the "revelator" and "novelist" Siles Noel.
...although still very busy.
"Dong dong." There were two knocks on the door.
"Congratulations, the weekend is coming." Qin Duo said.
Siles was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "You say that, as if you are mocking me."
"What are you mocking?" Qin Duo tilted her head.
"...Busy." Siles tilted his head and looked at him calmly, "Don't deny it, Qindo. I think you are looking forward to Monday after the weekend."
Cendo smiled in a low voice, then walked up to Siles, and held his slightly cold hand: "...your hands are always so cold. Anyway, yes, I am really looking forward to our new date .”
On the contrary, Siles was a little speechless because of his calm attitude.
After that, Siles packed up his things and left the classroom with Cendo.
"Are you going to the Historical Society tomorrow?" Qin Duo asked.
"No." Siles shook his head, "Tomorrow morning I have a meeting with the publisher, papers... and new novels. It should be on the agenda."
Qin Duo sighed: "The academic papers have been solved, and there are still novels waiting for you. Of course, I am very much looking forward to your new works, and I am also your loyal reader now.
"However, Professor Noel, don't you think you have caused too much trouble for yourself?"
"These things have to be sorted out." Siles said objectively, "Of course, I also feel a little busy."
Qin Duo muttered something, and then said, "Besides, there's that shop in West City."
"...Don't remind me at this time." Siles said helplessly.
Qin Duo laughed, a playful and gentle smile flashed in his emerald green eyes.He said, "Sometimes I like to see you distressed."
Siles: "..."
... Is this still the Qin Duo he is familiar with?
It was a little late, so they went directly to the cafeteria for dinner.On the morning of the second day, Siles took a copy of his thesis and went to Atherton Square to meet the publisher Benton.
Surprisingly, businessman Ranmir also appeared.
It was still the restaurant where they first met.Benton had already prepared snacks and hot tea, and sat there with a smile on his face.Beside him, Ranmier also sat there with a smile on his face.
... Seeing the smiling faces of the two businessmen, Siles felt that today's conversation seemed to have some ulterior motive.
But they first talked about the thesis.
"You don't have to worry." Benton said very courteously. "Since you mentioned this to me, I have already contacted a journal for you in advance. Of course, I have to ask, what is your paper about?" ?”
"Wandering poets of the Sardinian Empire." Siles paused, and after noticing Benton's somewhat bewildered expression, he added, "They are followers of Lycardia. I gave examples in the thesis."
"What?!" Benton raised his voice almost subconsciously, "Are you sure? Your thesis involves an old god?"
"Uh, it can't be said that way." Siles explained honestly, "It just confirms the beliefs of a group of poets."
He analyzed this matter from a literary point of view—after all, an author's beliefs can indeed affect his work—but the two businessmen in front of him did not seem to evaluate this matter so simply.
Langmeer said from the side: "Look, Benton. As I said earlier, Professor Noel is a very outstanding young scholar. You don't have to worry about the quality of his papers."
"...of course I understand that!" said Benton, who couldn't help adding, "I just feel...Professor, your paper is too scary! How can you hide such a big discovery in the general public?" In ordinary academic papers!"
Siles remained calm and silent.
He didn't think the discovery was that important either.But his ideas seem out of tune with the people of this era.Of course, it may also be because he understands that there are more terrifying inside stories behind this, so he doesn't care about the beliefs of the wandering poets themselves.
He handed Benton a copy of the paper.Benton flipped through it, browsed for a while, and then sighed, "You really... who would have thought that you would make such an important discovery at such a young age.
"If you ask me, after the publication of this paper, the professor of history may wish you to study history instead of continuing to bury your head in the field of literature."
Siles smiled slightly, thinking that Professor Bright had said the same thing before.He said: "I still concentrate on literature."
"Indeed. It can also be seen from your enthusiasm for creating novels." Benton changed the subject logically, "So, when is your new novel going to be published?"
Siles hesitated for a moment, and then mentioned the matter of Professor Mantel to Benton.Of course, he whitewashed the vocabulary a little.
"So," he said, "I'm afraid I'll have to continue working under a pseudonym."
Benton slowly opened his mouth wide, and then closed it abruptly. He said almost angrily, "What a ignorant old man!"
Siles shook his head, motioning him not to say that.
Benton then turned to say: "Since that's the case, your approach is certainly possible..."
"Professor, but I don't think you need to be very worried about this matter." Ranmier said disapprovingly, "This...Professor Mantel, he may think that he is just suppressing a young professor casually, so that the young man will pay more memory.
"However, after your paper is published, the situation is completely different. It must be an 'outstanding' paper, and maybe that Professor Mantel has not published such a paper.
"By that time, this old professor who relied on the old to sell the old may have to abdicate to make way for the virtuous."
Benton nodded repeatedly, indicating that he thought so too.
Siles is not so optimistic about this, or in other words, he does not want the situation to develop to that extent.
He said: "I can understand, thank you for your kindness. However, I still need to change my pen name to write."
This approach is due to the increasingly dangerous things he is currently involved in.If he continues to write under his real name, then these dangers are likely to affect those related to his "novelist" status.
Even if the connection between this pseudonym and him is easy to find out, but it can play a little role, Siles is satisfied.
Benton nodded: "Of course, that's no problem. New novel, what do you plan to write?"
"Adventures, it should be." Siles nodded towards Langmire, "I went to the Land of Never Embers not long ago, and got a lot of inspiration there. Mr. Langmire also understands this."
Ranmir hesitated to speak, and finally nodded with a smirk.His expression probably said that it was not as simple as "many inspirations".
Benton didn't think too much about it, he just said, "Adventure novels are also a good choice. By the way, professor, have you considered serializing novels in newspapers?"
Siles was taken aback, and said, "Serialized...in the newspaper?"
"If you're going to publish the whole book, it's not out of the question," Benton said, "however, it's been a harsh winter, and many readers are looking forward to some written comfort in such a cold weather.
"It would be great if you can serialize your novels in newspapers. This will allow your text to meet readers earlier...you can publish it after a while, and when the full-text serialization is over, you can publish a full-length novel. Isn't that Is there a better option?"
Siles nodded, understanding.He thought about it, and then replied: "This is indeed a good choice."
In the current busy life of Siles, writing novels can only be done in time, and it is still a low priority.If he wants to write the whole book, he doesn't know when this matter will be dragged on by him.
Serialization divides tasks into different time periods.Besides... he is very familiar with serialization.He has even been thinking almost instinctively, where to break a chapter will most make readers dream.
He smiled slightly and said, "Then let's serialize it in the newspaper."
Benton also clapped his hands with a smile, and said: "Then, you can think of a pseudonym, and then submit the manuscript regularly. Generally speaking, it is serialized once every week to half a month, and you can arrange the time yourself.
"At that time, you can send the content of your novel to the publishing house. You have been there before. The recipient can directly write my name."
Siles nodded.
Ranmier said in a timely manner: "Then, after talking about your affairs, it's my turn."
Siles looked at him with some interest.Since the separation from the Never Embers, Sirius has not heard any news about Ranmere.He was a little surprised why Ranmir appeared here.
Why did this businessman, who is not profitable but not early, participate in the conversation between him and Benton?
"Professor Noel, first of all, I have to thank you for your actions in the Land of No Embers. No matter what, you saved my business and the lives of countless explorers."
Siles said in a low voice: "I can't say that. I just try to do what I think I should do."
Ranmeer nodded with a smile, and didn't seem to want to deny Sirius' thoughts.But he still said: "It's your business that you think so. Those of us who are under your care need to be grateful for your actions after all."
He probably saw that Siles didn't like this kind of conversation very much, so he quickly changed the topic: "I just returned to Lamifah City not long ago and visited many colleagues. I learned from Mr. Bertram Finn There, I heard that you are planning to open a shop?"
"It is true. However, I haven't figured out what to do yet." Siles said, "My November is very busy. I'm afraid I will have to think about it later."
Ranmier suddenly nodded, and he said graciously: "I understand. Professor, if you need my help, contacts or connections, or any factories, please feel free to come to me. You also know the address of my home. When the time comes Just write."
Siles thanked him for his kindness.
Speaking of this, Langmire mentioned the real purpose of his appearance this time.
"Do you know that there is a kind of playing card that is quite popular in Land of No Ashes recently." Ranmier said tentatively, "I heard that it is called Noel's playing card, and I immediately thought of you."
Siles: "..."
He couldn't help but fell into a subtle silence.
Langmeer noticed Sirius' expression and said, "Sure enough, this matter is related to you, I guessed it. Did you invent this card?"
Benton on the side cast a curious look.
Siles shook his head, and he finally explained: "No, it's not. The inventor of the playing cards is now missing. The factory that printed these playing cards, you should have heard, is the printing factory of the Jillini family .”
Benton exclaimed, "Gilliney! Professor Noel, if you remember the eight-petal rose paper I gave you, those papers came from Gilney's factory."
Sure enough, Sirius thought.
Instead he said: "The inventor of the playing cards placed an order with Gilney's printing house, took the deck of cards for the first proof, and then disappeared. Alva—you know, Mr. Langmire, is The young man with us.
"He kept a deck of cards with him as a pastime when he was bored. The first game was to make cards that meet certain conditions. I thought this game was a bit boring, so I came up with the game of battle.
"I'm afraid this is also a popular way of playing in Endless Land. As far as I know, the Jilini family doesn't pay much attention to this card, and Alva himself prefers to vigorously promote it rather than restricting copyright.
"If you want to cooperate with them, then you can go directly to the Jilini family for related discussions."
Langmire has been listening to Sirius' words carefully, until he finished speaking, and then said: "So, what about you?"
Siles couldn't help being startled, and said with some surprise: "Me?"
"Yes, you created this way of fighting, so what do you think?" Ranmier asked patiently and gently.
It was only then that Siles realized that although this kind of card battle was commonplace for him from Earth, it was a brand new and creative way of playing for people in Fischer's world.
He could have profited from it, even if he never thought about it, didn't even realize it.
Siles said almost without thinking: "I don't have such a gameplay. I just... It should be said, I just put forward an idea, and then I and my companions jointly expanded this 'idea' into a practical gameplay.
"Are you planning to promote this card game?"
Ranmeer said, "That's true. But I must ask for your opinion, after all, I am very grateful for your previous help."
...The implication is that if it was someone else, Langmier would probably not have asked such a question?Siles thought.Businessman, not surprisingly.
He said: "Of course there is no problem. You can discuss specific cooperation matters with Jilini."
Regarding the matter of the fate card, they had already decided when the four of them were still in Eternal Land.After all, it was the card brought by Alva, so all future business affairs will be decided by the Jilini family behind Alva.
Of course, Alva has always said that this final proceeds will be shared with them.
Ranmir nodded with satisfaction: "That would be great."
Benton asked curiously from the side: "So, what is the gameplay?"
It was almost noon, and they had lunch here together.During the dinner, Siles and Ranmeer explained the playing of cards to Benton.Benton looked very interested, and said, "Looks like I'll have to ask the Gillineys for a deck of cards."
Siles said: "They should be drawing new cards now." He had heard from Alva about this, "The previous cards were relatively simple, but they were not very suitable for the game. They want to combine the value of the card with the Ability is written on the cards."
Ranmir said with great interest: "That is indeed a good idea." He said thoughtfully, "Perhaps we can first promote this gameplay in Ramifa City."
Benton also mentioned some of his own ideas with great interest.
That's what happens in the business world, and Siles didn't take part in their conversation.
As the meal was coming to an end, Ranmier suddenly sighed.He said: "It sounds like a very promising business. I just hope that the old men in the city will not get in the way."
"how?"
"I don't participate in this business of gambling, so I have to let you know first." Langmir made his position clear first, "However, even if it is entertainment that does not involve gambling, there are still many elderly nobles who are not used to it." .
"They want young people to continue this old-fashioned, boring life - study in peace and order, and follow their old ways. The family of painters continues to paint, and the family of politicians continues to be in politics...you can understand what I mean ?
"These old nobles, they want to control the lives and thoughts of the descendants of the family, just like what they have been doing all their lives. But the ideas of the young people are getting farther and farther away from them. The conflict between the two sides has always existed.
"And if I want to promote this kind of card game, ordinary residents don't need to worry the least. What I worry about is these old nobles who are not very likable and always cut off their money.
"They probably feel that this kind of entertainment has corrupted the 'pure spirituality' of the young people in their family. Ha, they don't think about how their extremely corrupt ideas can educate young people who can keep up with the trend of the times. "
Langmeer's last words seemed a little extreme, probably because of long-standing grievances.
But Siles could somehow understand his thoughts—think of Dorothea Grant, think of Emil Harrison, the boy who kept walking in the gallery of his dreams.
He couldn't help thinking that, from all angles, after 400 years of long development, the people in the Wuzhong Period had reached a crossroads.They need to make a choice, and the right to choose is always in everyone's hands.
After the meal, the three said goodbye to each other.
Benton said: "Your paper will be published next week. At that time, I will send the journal to you in advance. You may have heard of the journal's name, which is "Literary Review."
Siles suddenly realized, and said, "I do know. It's a very good academic journal."
Benton said with a smile: "Compared to the benefits brought by your previous novel, I only provided a very small help. In short, congratulations on the publication of your paper, and look forward to your masterpiece next year!"
"The Revenge of the Rose" is still bringing a steady stream of benefits to Siles, and it has already been promoted.Siles thought the novel would probably bring him five thousand dukes in the end.
... Uh, from a certain point of view, this is also thanks to the promotion of those followers of the old gods.
Siles swirled these thoughts in his mind, and then smiled slightly, thanking Benton for his kindness.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered one more thing, and said, "By the way, Mr. Langmire. I know you were engaged in the Stardust business before. I would like to ask, do you know where other Stardust veins are located? Even The deserted stardust veins are also fine."
Ranmere was a little surprised to hear this question, and after a while, he looked at Sirius meaningfully, probably thinking that Sirius understood something special about Star Dust—in fact, he did.
However, Ranmier probably couldn't possibly guess what Sirius knew.
"I can try to find out for you," Ranmeer said, "but I'm afraid you can't get your hopes up too much. Almost all businessmen will keep such things a secret. Of course, if you have the means, you can also learn from the church of the past. Let's start there, and that side knows a lot more than us."
Siles nodded knowingly and thanked Ranmere.
After saying goodbye to the two businessmen, Siles went to 18 Houseville Street.His mind gradually focused on today's meeting, because if nothing else happened, Eric Collens would bring relevant information about the Darrow family today.
Brewer Darrow died at the beginning of August, and it is now the end of November.Nearly four months later, the case is still going nowhere.This is also something that makes Celes feel a little discouraged.
However, they still have to do their best.
Because he didn't eat at No. 18 Houseville Street at noon that day, it was nearly one o'clock in the afternoon when Siles arrived.His companions were already seated, and they were solemnly staring at the pile of materials in front of them.
There are two stacks in total, the left stack is more orderly, and the right stack is very messy.
"Good afternoon," said Siles, "this is..."
"Information about the Darrow family." Angela said softly.
Even Darrell, who was the liveliest, was staring at the paper in front of him with a very serious expression at the moment, as if he was in a daze.
Eric has remained silent.
Mrs. Fuller clapped her hands and said, "Okay, everyone, don't be so depressed. The deceased is gone. All we need to do is to find out about this matter."
They all nodded in agreement.Afterwards, the atmosphere in the room finally relaxed.
Mrs. Fuller first said to Siles: "Congratulations, Professor. Your project summary will be published next week. Even if it is only for members of the Historical Society, it is still your extraordinary achievement."
Siles was startled, and then he realized that what Mrs. Fuller was talking about was his "self-reincarnation" ceremony.The First Corridor, where Mrs. Fuller was located, was originally responsible for handling these administrative affairs, so it was also responsible for publishing the results of these subjects.
Siles was a little surprised to realize that by accident, his two research results at the University of Ramifa and at the Historical Society were published in the same week.
He couldn't help saying: "This is indeed good news." He paused, and then shared the academic paper with others.
Angela gave a heartfelt admiration: "You are really amazing."
Siles couldn't help smiling at her childish compliment.
After a short period of relaxation, they began to organize and read the pile of materials in front of them.
These materials are actually divided into two categories. One is the investigation of the Second Corridor of the Historical Society after the incident. Siles saw the signature of Clarissa Burney, the enlightener, at the end of many of the documents.
The other category is the transcripts of the internal materials of the Darrow family.Eric made a special introduction to this.
The Darrow family is a noble family with a long heritage that has now declined, so its family library has a very rich number of books.During the investigation of the second corridor, only a part of the information that should be useful was collected and transcribed.
"So there are still a lot of materials that no one has read?" Darrell couldn't help asking, "Aren't you worried about missing important clues in the second corridor?"
Eric said helplessly: "That's true, but... To be honest, it is indeed a very large library, so there is not so much time in the second corridor to investigate one by one."
Darrell was startled, then understood.
"So where are those materials now?" Siles couldn't help asking.
"If there is no accident, it should be sealed somewhere by the Historical Society." Eric said, "I heard that if something happens to such a noble family, their inheritance will be temporarily kept by the bank?"
Both Mrs. Fuller and Angela nodded.
Mrs. Fuller even added: "Until the person with the right to inherit appears, the bank or other estate agent will come forward and hand it over to the heir. If no one inherits after decades, then an auction will be held, or donate.
"These clauses will be specified in the noble's will. Of course, there are very few situations that can actually trigger the clauses..."
As she spoke, she couldn't help shaking her head.
Eric said: "Yes, I heard that too. However, because the Darrow family's affairs involved the followers of the old gods, these family books and archives were sealed separately.
"These I brought here are some of the content after sorting out. It's rough, but it can give us a rough understanding of this incident."
They all nodded, and continued to read, chatting with each other occasionally, exchanging information they read.
Siles picked up an investigation report and flipped through it.That was the investigation and arrangement of the Darrow family's collection of books.
"...
"The Darrow family's book collection is located in the basement of the mansion. It is roughly an underground space of about 1000 square meters. It has a collection of about [-] books in total, as well as other independent files, materials, manuscripts, etc. in countless numbers.
"According to the investigation, the Darrow family came to the Duchy of Constance 400 years ago. They helped the Duchy of Constance to tide over the difficulties at that time, so they were appreciated by the Grand Duke at that time and awarded the title of knighthood.
"However, for a long time, there are no outstanding talents in the younger generations of the family, and the family has gradually declined, and it can no longer be called a qualified noble family. However, its collection of books is still worth reading.
"According to the information provided by a certain enlightener within the society, I searched the relevant files in the library, but I did not find any records related to 'believers meet the gods'. I am not sure if someone took it away, or other possibilities The matter is doubtful.
"Most of the books in the collection are not in the language of the Principality of Const, which is consistent with the origin of the Darrow family. After textual research and comparison, the text of these books is consistent with the text near Kansas City of the Silent Sardinian Empire, so it can be temporarily determined that Darrow The family hails from what was once Kansas City.
"Except for the above-mentioned books written in Kansas, the rest of the books are collected after the Darrow family appeared in Conster. No valuable clues have been investigated.
"In addition to books, this problem also exists with related materials including archives, documents, and manuscripts. Attempts are currently being made to contact relevant people who can read Kansas script.
"There are some materials in Const's text, but after reading it, I found that its content is basically irrelevant to this case. It is a record of the family situation, as well as the daily records of some family members.
"The only possible connection to this incident is a conversation recorded in one of the manuscripts.
"The manuscript mentioned that a certain writer was very interested in the conversation record between an ancestor of the Darrow family and a poet, so he borrowed the conversation record from the owner of the manuscript, that is, someone from the Darrow family. And that This conversation is taking place in Kansas City in the Silent Age.
"I suspect that this matter may be related to the past experience of the Darrow family, and can provide some relevant and older information. However, we have not found clues in the relevant files of the Const text.
"Considering that this happened in the first 100 years of the Age of Mist, the Darrow family may not have been able to get rid of the influence of Kansas at that time, and perhaps members of the family will learn both Conster language and Kansas language.
"Therefore, it is very likely that the materials borrowed by this writer were translated orally by someone in the family. It is also very reasonable that the translation of Const's text cannot be found.
"This transcript should be hidden in the Kansas text section. The matter remains to be investigated.
"Besides, about Brewer Darrow's mysterious fiancée. We tried to find their marriage deed or marriage letter in the library or other places, but we couldn't find any relevant information.
"The above is a related investigation report on the collection of books and archives of the Darrow family.
"Clarissa Burney. 400 August 8.
"..."
This investigation report did not make any contribution to the investigation of the Darrow family's incident, but Siles' eyes were fixed on one sentence.
"Conversation"?
...a noble patriarch of the Darrow family, with...with Aldous Gershwin, with the wandering poet?So the person who borrowed the conversation is also the author of "The Poet's Fate", Archibald Jon?
Siles was astonished to realize the coincidence.
He knew that the Darrow family only came to the Principality of Const 400 years ago; he also knew that the "Fate of the Poet" mentioned that the family migrated from Kansas City, so he kept the conversation records between the ancestors and the wandering poets.
But he never expected that these two families are actually the same!Just so happens to be Brewer Darrow's family!
Such a coincidence surprised Sirius.
The others asked him what was the matter, and Sirius told what he had discovered.In addition, he asked Eric: "Is it possible to get this transcript?"
Eric pondered for a while, then shook his head regretfully, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get those archived materials, maybe the revealer with a higher position in the Historical Society will have a way?"
Siles thought of Carol immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I see. This transcript is very useful for my project. Maybe I should find a way to get this transcript."
Darrell touched his chin and asked curiously, "Which subject?"
Siles was taken aback.
Angela laughed immediately: "Professor, you have too many subjects!"
Siles: "..."
Could it be that he wants to be so busy?Thinking about it now, the days of writing novels on Earth are like a salted fish.
The rest laughed.
At this time, Mrs. Fuller suddenly said, "Look at this report."
She placed the report in the center of the table.
Mrs Fuller said: "This is after the incident, the revealer of the second corridor went to the Darrow family mansion, and then conducted an investigation ... equivalent to the investigation report of the first scene."
Siles read it roughly, and then keenly noticed a problem: "They didn't investigate the trash can."
"Yes." Mrs. Fuller said softly, "but they did investigate the surrounding situation, and also asked the neighbors for clues and questions...Why did they ignore the trash can?"
Siles pondered for a moment, then asked, "Has any of you seen the police investigation report?"
"In my place," Eric said, "similar to the investigation in the second corridor, and also did not pay attention to the trash can."
They looked at each other.
Angela said softly: "This can't be...a problem?"
The investigation of the case naturally required the investigators to find out the situation near the crime scene, and they did it, regardless of whether it was the police or the second corridor.However, they also ignored one of the most obvious features near the crime scene: the trash can.
However, why did the private detective notice the trash can when he came to investigate later?
Sirius thought, Is it Detective Jon's problem?
However, Detective Jon's character card attribute is psychology expertise, how did he manage to discover clues that other revealers failed to discover?
