This was another knowledge from my previous life, and this was in fact the kind of physiognomy drawing used by the police, as I have rembered. I guess so of the traits that witnesses rembered were traits that would catch other peoples attention. I nodded to Lily, turned to my father, and spoke up.
If the mastermind is really a refugee from Triot, then taking her under our custody would make them move, but it could also serve as a counterasure. That is if the mastermind is really from Triot.
I see.
And then after.
When I was about to continue speaking, a knock was heard from the door. One of the maids monitoring Clara, entered the room after waiting for fathers permission, handed sothing to Norbert and gave him so information about the discovery.
There was a double layer on the inside of Claras clothes and this was sewn into it.
A dicine packet?
Since I was not the best person to examine a womans clothing, I asked the maids to examine it while Clara was taking a bath, which they did, as I expected.
I touched it and found that it was small and swollen, but very light. It looked like moderately high-grade demon parchnt. This alone would not be sothing a refugee would have, but if the mastermind gave it to her, that person might be an aristocrat or soone in a similar position.
When I opened the package, I found a white powder. In a detective drama, there would be detectives who would lick it, but since it was probably poison, no one would do such a thing. Even in a real investigation, they would not lick it on the spot because it was evidence.
Pockets were also rather common in this world, by the way. In my previous world, pockets were not attached to wons clothes, or even ns clothes, until near modern tis, but in this world, pockets seed to be the idea of adventurers who carried potions and other items, and there were many clothes that had pockets.
Just replace the contents with salt or sothing and put the dicine packet back in, please, before Clara gets out of the bath. Ill check the contents.
Wont she notice that theyve been replaced?
I think they probably handed it to her as so kind of package to keep, but we should not let her notice that it was replaced, its fine. If she did notice, shell probably rush back to her master, which may actually hasten the process.
I responded to Maxs question that way. As for the drugs, Rafed would be able to find out what kind it was and where to get it. He was a difficult guy to deal with, but he was certainly excellent in this regard.
If the other party is a professional assassin, he wont do anything to make suspicious. The timing is too blatant. Perhaps Claras master is an underling who is up to sothing on his own. Nevertheless, it could be a clue to the big guy, so I want to catch them by the tail.
I see.
I think their intentions will change depending on whether the contents are a powerful poison or sothing that can weaken one to the point of sickness. For the ti being, we have to be careful, father and mother as well.
I understand.
In this world, there could exist magic to eliminate poisons, but the reality was that there were still a certain number of people who died from poisons. As far as this was concerned, it didnt matter if they were nobles or commoners. In the case of commoners, it was often difficult to tell whether they died from poison from snakes or from being eaten alive by monsters.
In the case of nobles, even if the death was ostensibly announced as an illness, there have been cases where the death was by poisoning.
On that basis, I will make arrangents
I explained the plan to the maid who brought in the dicine packet, and we had a quick eting with Max and the others.
In addition, when I applied for a loan from Father, he gave a blank stare. No matter how high I get paid as a viscount, I didnt have an unlimited pile of gold coins in my room, and I needed the cash tomorrow, so I apologize for the nuisance.
