My villain wants to save himself, but the yandere heroine disagrees

After all, this is still a society ruled by individuals, and the appointment and dismissal of personnel is often just a decision made by the emperor.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but it happened suddenly and Miss Sherlock was surrounded by a crowd. If we don't help her, she might get into trouble."

"Isn't she a magician? Are you worried something might happen to her?"

"Because it happened suddenly, so..."

"Okay, okay, brother, now that things have come to this, let's first think about how to deal with public opinion." Elsa came out and acted as a peacemaker.

After seeing Elsa say this, Owen gave Elsa a grateful look.

Arthas could only sigh.

"Elsa, what do you think we should do?"

"Of course the person who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it."

Elsa shrugged and said so.

"Brother, think about it, why are the citizens so angry that they gathered together to surround the police station?"

"Because Orson was arrested?"

"Yes, so we just need to let Orson come forward and explain this matter to the people."

Elsa spoke her mind.

When Arthas heard this, he sneered.

"Elsa, do you think that after Orson was imprisoned by us and was suspected by us, we would let him forgive us?"

"Put yourself in his shoes. If you were Orson, would you forgive a group of people who hurt him?"

"But there's nothing we can do about it right now, is there?"

At this time, Sherlock also finished the routine interrogation of Orson and came here to report.

"I have convinced Orson, and he has agreed to mediate the matter outside. The specific details are left to you."

"Oh? You can actually convince Orson?" Upon hearing this, Arthas's anger disappeared immediately, and he became interested in Sherlock's persuasion.

"Well, he still takes the overall situation into consideration. Besides, I also hope to apply to go to the Dukedom of Antica for investigation."

"Investigation? What are you going there to investigate?" Elsa was stunned for a moment when she heard Sherlock's words, and then she immediately asked.

"Investigate another important member of the Toulouse family, Mary, the wife of Duke Lucius of Antica."

"But isn't Mary dead? What's there to investigate about a dead person?"

Arthas asked in confusion.

If it was an investigation into Lucius, that would make sense, but it turned out to be an investigation into Mary?

At this time, Elsa pondered for a while, then as if she suddenly remembered something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Sherlock.

"Are you planning to start with the family emblem?"

"Yes." Sherlock nodded.

After hearing what Elsa said, Arthas and Owen also reacted. They looked at Sherlock with shock in their eyes.

I never expected that Sherlock would start from this aspect.

However, this was probably the most promising clue at the moment, so Arthas agreed to consult Odysseus. As soon as Odysseus gave the order, someone would immediately go to Antica to investigate.

……

Not long after, Elsa found Orson again.

"You really have the leisure and elegance to be here reading a book at this hour."

Elsa opened the door and looked at Orson's leisurely appearance, and couldn't help but complain.

"What else can I do?" Orson asked with a smile.

"Now, am I not just waiting for you, Princess, to rescue me?"

Hearing Orson say this, Elsa knew he was joking, so she turned her head away and coughed lightly.

"Stop joking and be serious."

After saying this, she looked at Orson seriously.

"They invited you here this time. There must be a reason, right? Can you tell me about it?"

"I think that as the head of the empire's justice system, Your Highness, you should know why I was arrested."

"Of course I know this, but I don't want to listen to their analysis. I want to listen to yours."

"Mine? That means someone is trying to frame me, or is trying to take me with him before he dies."

"You mean, the raven?"

"He is Giovanni's man. Will Giovanni tell him something before he dies? Will he do it? It's hard to say, isn't it?"

"That's true." Elsa sighed after hearing that.

"Well, in fact, if it were only Giovanni

"Based on your confession and Sherlock's inference, they wouldn't treat you like this. Someone must have really been planning to deal with you, so they presumed you were guilty and arranged for you."

"Yes." Orson nodded. "So, Your Highness, did you come to me this time just to talk about these things?"

"Not really." Elsa shook her head. "It's just that you should know about Sherlock's plan to go to Antica to investigate, right?"

"Well, she told me, and I agreed."

“Won’t there be any problems in the middle?”

"Don't worry."

"Okay." Elsa heard that and didn't ask any more questions.

"Then I'll be leaving first. I can't let you out for now. This is the will of our father. But as long as Sherlock's investigation is fine, you should be able to get out."

Upon hearing this, Orson did not say anything and continued to look at the book in his hand.

"I hope so."

After a long time, he said this.

Elsa looked at Orson again and then left.

……

Time came to the second day. After yesterday's dispersal incident, more citizens gathered at the door of the security station. Many of them brought weapons such as wooden sticks, as if they were prepared to rely on these to fight against the fully armed guards.

However, it was not the guards who were waiting for them this time.

The door of the police station slowly opened and Orson walked out.

The townspeople quickly recognized Orson.

"It's Lord Orson!"

"Has Lord Orson been released? Our efforts were successful!"

"Great! Our blood was not shed in vain!"

"Lord Orson! Can you sign an autograph for me later?"

As the discussion among the citizens outside became increasingly bizarre, Orson raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

The citizens also gave face and instantly quieted down.

Looking at this scene, Orson cleared his throat and then said:

"I'm sorry, everyone, I've made you worried because I haven't appeared in public these days."

"However, please rest assured that I am living a good life now. I have not suffered inhumane abuse as rumored, nor have I been stripped of my title. Now it is just a very serious case that involves me. I need to stay in the police station as a witness to provide clues, so I will continue to stay in the police station for a while. I hope everyone understands and cooperates with the work of the police station staff."

"That's all I have to say. If you don't have any other questions, you may leave."

After saying this, Orson glanced at the citizens around him.

Everyone looked at each other, but finally chose to believe Orson's words. After a few people chose to leave first, more and more people joined the queue to leave.

Orson did not return to the police station until the last person left and the street in front of the police station resumed normal operation.

"Is that all right? The citizens have finished their parade now."

"Yes." Owen nodded. "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Orson."

"It's okay. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible so that I can go back earlier."

Orson said this, waved his hand, and then walked towards his residence.

"Please rest assured, time will definitely pass quickly."

Chapter 3.4: If you want to investigate, then come on (K)

"What the hell, Orson showed up in person?"

In the dormitory, Lit was stunned when he heard the report brought back by Lianka.

"Yes." A trace of sweat also flowed down Lianka's forehead.

"I don't know what happened, but according to what the citizens said, it was Orson himself who asked them to disband."

"..."

When Lit heard this, his face suddenly became very ugly.

"There are only two possibilities now, Lianka." Litt looked at Lianka and said so.

"First, Orson was threatened by them, or they promised Orson some benefits, forcing him to say these words."

"Ah."

Lianka nodded.

"What about the second one?"

"The second is that Orson doesn't want to see us do this."

Having said that, Lit paused, and then continued:

"In short, no matter which possibility it is, Orson should have guessed that we were the one pushing this matter behind the scenes."

"So... what are you going to do, Leeteuk?"

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Lianka went to open the door and found Olivia standing at the door.

"The police station has given in. We can go visit Orson now."

"Really?!" Li Te was immediately excited when he heard this. "It seems that what we did was not ineffective!"

Seeing Leeteuk's reaction, Olivia smiled.

"However, on the other hand, the police station has a condition."

"Do they still dare to put forward conditions?"

When Lit heard this, he immediately felt dissatisfied.

"Even if they are death row inmates, their families have the right to visit them. It's fine that the police station didn't allow them to visit before, but now they dare to put forward conditions?"

Lianka was also quite unhappy at this time.

"Well, their condition is that after the visit, they spread the truth about Orson instead of spreading rumors and stirring up discontent."

As Olivia finished her words, Litt's heart skipped a beat.

"Wait... so they know what we did?" Lianka beside him spoke first.

"Well, it's actually very obvious. After all, people who are close to Orson can easily trace it back to us. Even if we didn't do it, the police station will probably ask us to help. After all, the words of people around us are the most trustworthy."

"Anyway, we can go now, right?"

"Ah."
