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

"Indeed...sweeter..."

"Hehe, then... next..." Olivia said this and turned her attention to the few people hiding in the woods.

Orson also turned his head and looked straight at Litt.

"Are you guys having fun stalking and spying?"

Oops, found out!

Li Te thought so, but running away was useless at this moment, so he could only walk out with the two people.

The three of them stood side by side, all with their heads down, and no one dared to look up at Orson and Olivia.

Orson stood in front of the three people, and the oppressive feeling he brought to them made them breathless.

"Okay, Orson, let them go. They are still children." Olivia said with a smile.

"I told you in the dormitory, but you still followed me secretly." Orson pretended to be angry.

"Olivia said she would let you go, but I'm not going to let you go. Go back and copy the magic theory ten times!" Orson said this and pointed in the direction of the dormitory area.

Chapter 3: Interrogation

Watching the girls leave dejectedly, Orson suppressed the anger on his face and smiled at Olivia.

Both of them are very strong, so how could they not notice that someone was following them? Orson wanted to expose it from the beginning, but Olivia had a bad taste and wanted to disgust the other person in front of someone deliberately.

I can just hug the other person's brother and act like a spoiled child, and the other person can't do anything to me.

There is a feeling of being a helpless and angry victim.

"Okay, now you've had enough fun, I guess you're satisfied now." Orson said with a smile.

"Well, but you actually dared to punish Li'anka. Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will hate you? After all, Li'anka knows nothing about magic theory."

"Well, since they are being punished, then they all have to be punished. Otherwise, they will both feel that Lianka is being favored, which will not be good for Lianka."

"That's right." Olivia nodded, then put her hands behind her back and walked in front of Orson.

"Then let's walk a little longer. It's rare for me to be alone with you, Orson. I really wish this time could be longer."

……

On the other side, the prison of Saint Laurent City.

In the cell with the highest guard level, two high-level knights of level seven are guarding the door. In addition, the walls and doors of the entire cell have been reinforced with magic by several level eight wizards. It is impossible for ordinary people to cross the cell by brute force.

The prisoner in the cell was Raven, a retainer of the Duke of Naples who was accused of assassinating the former Duke of Orleans, François.

If Donny is included, Raven has served the Dukedom of Naples for a total of three generations. Now, after being forced to take off his mask and disguise, his true appearance looks like a young man under thirty years old.

Sherlock, who has now become a big shot in the Saint Laurent City Security Department, came to the cell with two recorders. After showing his documents, he was allowed to enter the cell.

Ever since the results of the last case investigation came out, Sherlock has had an indelible knot in his heart, and that is the truth.

Although a lot of evidence was presented during the case closing process and ultimately pointed to the Duke of Naples, Sherlock knew that the outcome of the case might not be what was made public.

Therefore, after Raven was arrested this time, Sherlock, who was responsible for the investigation of the last case, naturally got the right to interrogate Raven.

Walking into the cell, which was separated by simple iron bars, it looked quite unsafe, especially since the person who was about to be interrogated was a ruthless man who had killed all of the Duke's guards and then the Duke himself.

Raven raised his eyes and saw Sherlock coming in, but did not move.

Sherlock sat down at the long table, looked at the raven in front of him, and began his interrogation.

"Suspect, Raven is just your code name, right? What's your real name?"

"I don't have a real name." Raven answered quickly. "As far as I can remember, I've been called Raven."

"When did you begin serving Giovanni?"

"…since he decided to kill his father."

Upon hearing this information, Sherlock was stunned, and then quickly asked the recorder beside him to mark the end point of this information.

This may also involve another case.

"Could you please describe it in detail?"

"Okay." Raven nodded, and then told Giovanni everything about how he planned to kill his father and seize the power of the Dukedom of Naples.

"If I hadn't stood by and watched, or even condoned him, Giovanni would never have done that."

Nearly half an hour had passed since Raven finished telling the story. At this time, Sherlock realized that he had gone off topic and quickly corrected the subject.

"Then, Mr. Raven, may I ask, did you kill Francois, the Duke of Orleans?"

"I killed it." Raven admitted it openly.

"why?"

"Because, it's a very simple reason. At that time, the Duke of Naples was under siege, and Saint Laurent was holding a meeting. So in order to relieve the pressure on the front line, we had to do something during the meeting. And it happened that the Duke of Orleans's guards were the weakest, and they encountered another attack that day. I saw an opportunity, so I did it."

Sherlock nodded when he heard this, and then suddenly heard something wrong in Raven's words.

"Wait, you said they were attacked again that day?"

"Don't you know about this?" Raven looked at Sherlock in confusion.

"That night, the Duke of Orleans deliberately took a detour on his way back, and was attacked by local thugs. After I dealt with the thugs, they didn't take it seriously and let down their guard, so I naturally took action."

Sherlock's eyes widened upon hearing the news.

In other words, there was more than one person who planned to murder the Duke of Orleans! ?

Although Raven generously admitted that he was the real murderer, the other party was likely an accomplice.

Sherlock immediately perked up, and thought carefully about each of the following questions to see if she had missed any key information.

Half an hour later, Sherlock only felt his brain trembling slightly.

This matter is indeed not that simple.

Raven refused to admit that he placed the Toulouse family crest in a warehouse under Prince Alsace's property in order to frame someone. Instead, he claimed that he brought the Toulouse family crest back to the Duke of Naples as a trophy, but it was eventually destroyed by a fire set by the Duke of Naples.

As for the so-called events related to the Orchid Tavern, Raven knew nothing about it.

And the black shadow that Orson chased out later was not Raven at all, but someone else.

Of course Sherlock knew that Raven was most likely lying, but she sorted out the logic from Raven's words. From Raven's perspective, there was indeed no need for him to take the risk of returning to Saint Laurent City after killing someone.

If the raven did not lie, there was only one explanation that made sense, that is, someone also wanted the Duke of Orleans to die, or to achieve some purpose through his death, and thus intentionally or unintentionally promoted the process of the raven's assassination of François.

After the interrogation, Sherlock walked out of the cell with two recorders.

"Today's interrogation record must be treated as a top secret document and must not be disclosed." Sherlock looked at the two interrogators beside him and instructed.

"Got it." The two subordinates nodded, then hurried back to the police station.

Sherlock stood there, and at this moment, she suddenly thought of the question she asked when she met Orson not long ago.

Orson, did he really not deceive himself?

I followed the investigation results he gave me. Could it be that he really arranged it on purpose?

Chapter 4: The training begins

The next day, inside the police station.

Owen came to Sherlock's office, ready to ask her about the results of yesterday's interrogation investigation.

Sherlock was sitting at his desk at the moment, writing and drawing on paper.

"Ms. Sherlock, what results did we get from yesterday's interrogation?" Owen looked at Sherlock in front of him and asked.

"Ah... this..." After hearing this, Sherlock hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We did get some important information, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the suspect is too psychologically strong and is using false information to try to drag more innocent people into the water."

"So, now I am sorting out and analyzing the intelligence I have collected so far. I am going to feed back the most accurate intelligence to the higher-ups. Otherwise, if the intelligence is not uploaded accurately, it will lead to a deviation in the higher-ups' judgment. We cannot bear this responsibility."

"I see." Owen nodded, and then continued: "The royal family is going to give this matter to you, Miss Sherlock, to handle. If you need anything, please tell me as soon as possible so that I can help you."

"Well, I know."

Owen stood at the door for a few seconds before slowly leaving.

After Sherlock finished talking to Owen, he continued to concentrate on the paper in front of him.

In order to clarify the overall logic of the case, she has been deducing each situation since she returned yesterday.

And until now, she has deduced dozens of possibilities on paper.

Every change in detail may point to a different person.

In her deduction, the possibility that Orson was an accomplice only appeared twice, not even as many times as Arthas appeared, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

At least, there is a high probability that Orson did not lie to himself.

She rubbed her temples and continued her work.

……

On the other side, inside the prison, a new guest came today.

Prince Arthas came to the prison gate and was allowed in directly after revealing his identity.

He came this time to ask Raven why he had framed him before.

His source of information within the judicial institution had been cut off, and he could not obtain any internal intelligence. In addition, the case was still under trial, and he became extremely anxious, so he simply came here in person.

"So it's His Royal Highness the Prince. You have come to visit me in such a grand manner. Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Raven stood at the door, looked at Arthas, and asked.

Arthas sat in front of the raven with a cold expression.

"You should know why. Ever since you killed Francois, all kinds of evidence have pointed to me, causing me almost irreparable damage to my reputation."

"I want to know how you managed to put the blame on me?" Arthas said, narrowing his eyes and looking at the raven.

Who knew that when the raven heard this, he just smiled.

"Your Highness, is there a possibility that I did not frame you, and my goal was only the royal family, and someone just happened to want to make you the scapegoat?"

Raven sat on the chair with his hands folded in front of his legs. He looked very relaxed and didn't seem to be lying at all.

"Hmph." Arthas did not indulge Raven. He opened the door of the cell, walked into the cell, and directly grabbed the other's collar.

"Do you think this will cause civil unrest in the empire?"

"You've reached such a desperate point, and you're still thinking of dragging other people into this, right?"

"You can't escape death, so you want others to take the blame for you. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?!"

As he said this, he swung his fist and hit Raven hard on the side of his face.

The raven was hit and saw stars, but it still turned its head.

Instead of being angry, he smiled.

"That's why you're like this."

He said this with a hint of mockery in his tone.

"What did you say!?" Arthas became even angrier when he heard that the other party dared to mock him. He threw the other party heavily against the wall, but this level of injury was nothing for an eighth-level strong man.

"You might as well think about it, Your Highness. What reason do I have, or what reason does my former master, Giovanni, have to specifically target you?"

"Isn't he on good terms with you?"

"But he colluded with the cultists and became a servant of the devil. From that time on, I had no more contact with him!"

Upon hearing this, Arthas quickly distanced himself from Giovanni.

"I know that the entire empire is afraid of demons. I can understand your actions, and Giovanni can understand it even better."

"Just..." Raven said this and looked up at Arthas.

"Do you really think we are the only ones who want to cause chaos in the Empire?"

"I know you want to become a great leader, so, Your Highness Arthas, shouldn't you remove the cancer buried inside?"

"If we let them continue like this, they will only become another scourge for the empire, right?"

Arthas listened to the raven's words and his clenched fists relaxed.

"But this is no reason for a sinner like you to teach me how to govern a country."
