Caguire continued:

"But the laws in the Emerald City are strict, and Moss is too cunning to hire a defense attorney. What's more, he had been working hard before, contacting old friends, and clinging to powerful people... His enemies may know that they can't get their money back even if they go to court.

justice……"

Thales' thoughts moved:

"Just take the risk and kill him for revenge?"

Caguire shook his head:

"I dare not say whether it was for revenge or debt collection, whether the murder was intentional or impulsive, but it must have something to do with them."

D.D on the side couldn't help but say: "They dare to kill people in Emerald City? Are they still in jail?"

"Because of being in the Emerald City, and the prison."

Kaguire bowed.

"It's embarrassing to publicize this, but both the Blood Bottle Gang and the Brotherhood have this method: if you want someone to disappear, you can't do it on the street, because there will be endless consequences, so they usually trick you into the dock and pretend to be drunk and falling into the water.

, to avoid tracing... and going to jail is even different. Suicide out of fear of crime is a good cover."

Mallos suddenly asked:

"So, it was Moss's enemies who hired the murderer?"

Caguire nodded and admitted:

"It seems so at the moment, but what can I say? If he didn't jump up and down to cling to the powerful, he might not be so unlucky."

"Why?" Thales asked curiously.

Caguire glanced at Thales:

"There are many parties involved in Moss's case. According to convention, he should be locked up in a dark room alone and interrogated severely. But because of his relationship with His Highness..."

"His Royal Highness Thales has nothing to do with him," Mallos reminded him expressionlessly, "They just met on the road, that's all."

Officer Kaguire immediately changed his story:

"Of course. In short, this wine merchant was transferred to a temporary prison cell for petty criminals. He was treated well, had three meals a day, someone to chat with, and could have regular breaks... Now, something happened."

Thales' eyes slowly focused.

"If you... the Emerald City Police Department investigates further, can you find the person who hired the murderer?"

Caguire nodded first, then looked embarrassed.

"If you want to look for it, of course you can find it, but, Your Highness..."

Thales looked at him.

"To put it bluntly, a scum like Moss who has always been domineering and exploiting workers, taking money and running away at the first sign of trouble, causing countless people to become bankrupt and separated from their wives, deserves it." The security officer coughed, "Your Highness

I've already suffered a loss with him once, so why go again... Whether it's for Moss himself, or for the people he has framed, or even for the people who will be framed by him in the future, his death is better than living."

"The same goes for the Police Department, right?" Thales said suddenly.

Caguire was a little confused, but Thales quickly smiled and signaled Conmuto to see off the guests:

"I understand. Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Vigilance Officer."

After Caguire left the room, Thales let out a long sigh:

"So, Moss died in a vendetta, and it was a hired murderer. Do you believe it?"

Everyone exchanged glances with each other.

Miranda kept looking at the direction Caguire was leaving, and hummed softly when she heard this:

"This security officer is very slippery, no wonder he was assigned to be your guide."

"Mira?"

Miranda looked back:

"He was very familiar with the jailers and took us in. When Glover and I questioned him, he always came out to smooth things over and excuse us.

"As for just now, when he saw that we judged that Moss was not committing suicide, he immediately turned around, showed a reluctant and determined to tell His Highness the truth, and told a reasonable, labor-saving and trouble-free story of hiring a murderer to kill, which not only freed the jailers.

The crime also brings an end to the case."

D.D crossed his arms:

"Didn't you forget to let something slip in the middle, implying that Moss had a good relationship with your highness, which is why he ended up like this?"

Thales shrugged.

Mallos sighed:

"I guess no one wants to commit a murder case during the celebration, especially a sensitive person caught between a duke and a prince, which also involves official negligence and financial disputes in another place."

"As for his inference, no, the story he told..."

Miranda rubbed her black gloves and moved her eyes slightly:

"Vendetta, this means that they no longer have to bother to find out the motive of the murder to verify the evidence, because everything stems from the old grudge that Moss brought upon himself in the past; hired murderer, that is to say, even if the 'murderer' found in the end is not the same as Moss,

There is no grudge, and they can convict and close the case, because it was a hired killing anyway."

"If we want to pursue the case further, this should be the 'argument' that best suits the interests of all parties."

Conmuto closed the door and sighed softly after hearing the words:

"No wonder the major police departments in Emerald City are famous for their high efficiency, high speed and high crime detection rate. When I saw them today, I really envy my colleagues."

D.D spread his hands:

"And he is indeed abiding by the law. How do you say, 'Emerald City believes in justice and law'?"

"Maybe it's because you believe too much," Mallos' eyes flickered, "Law and justice are always compared and equated. This is originally true and is indeed the most ideal state, but in reality..."

The watchman said nothing.

"'If you believe too much in the law, there is a risk that justice will be ignored; if you believe too much in justice, there is a risk that the law will be trampled on.'"

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Huaiya who said this, extremely surprised.

"Durant Empiu's "Conventions and Customs"," Huaiya came back to his senses and felt baffled by everyone's gazes. "I am currently preparing for the entrance examination of the royal guard. This is the ethics department.

Bibliography...what's wrong, don't you read books when you're on duty?"

Glover frowned, D.D rolled his eyes, Rolf snorted disdainfully, and Nexi moved her position unconsciously, blocking the cake bag at her feet more tightly.

Conmuto shook his head and whispered:

"As expected of the Casso family's son."

"Okay, let's get back to the topic."

Thales sighed and took out the little stuffed bear:

"Who killed Moss? Why? What impact does it have on us?"

Glover took a deep breath: "The person who wants to kill him..."

But Miranda spoke on the other side:

"According to your statement, Moss is a person who secretly works for the Emerald City to make money. Now that he has done something wrong and knows too much, Duke Iris wants to silence him. This is very reasonable."

Glover's expression froze.

Thales nodded.

Yes, that makes sense.

But, is it just that?

Thales couldn't help but think of the girl from last night.

Moreover, Moss has another identity...an identity that cannot be announced to the public.

"But Zhan promised me," Thales frowned, "He said he would keep Moss alive and observe."

"Maybe, but that was before Miss Healey showed up." D.D replied subconsciously.

But he soon realized that everyone immediately turned to him with playful eyes, especially the prince's eyes that were the most special.

"Uh, sorry." D.D had to take a step back.

"Maybe we shouldn't look into it."

Unexpectedly, the person who spoke was Marius.

"With all due respect, in the eyes of the public, Moss was imprisoned as a 'businessman who followed the prince'," the watchman said cautiously, "Now that he is dead, it is not a bad thing for His Highness.

."

"But if we go too deep into it... we're afraid we'll get a bad reputation again."

Studying too deeply...

But Thales remembered something.
