The Eternal Debauchery's

bizarre homicide

"What's he doing here?" Katherine frowned as I entered the office.

I smiled helplessly. It seems that his dislike for me has not diminished in the least.

I didn't care about it and looked around the room. To my surprise, other than Katherine, Rose, Daisy, and me; Dina, Andrea, Iris, along with the other members of the student guard committee and some teachers were also here.

All the members of the OSIS and a committee of guards plus five teachers are in this office. As many as sixteen people.

"Everybody's finally here." The headmaster nodded towards us.

"Please sit down." He showed.

After we sat down, the headmaster braided his fingers and narrowed his eyes.

"Something happened last night." She said.

Everyone in the room was focused on the principal's words.

“This morning, a student was killed in his room. Appeared An assassin."

“!!!”

The students and teachers were shocked. No one expected to hear something like this.

"Homicide? Are you sure, principal Evelyn?” A teacher asked seriously.

Evelyn nodded seriously. "We're sure. The student had a dagger on his chest and his face had a surprised expression. Obviously, he wasn't expecting the attack.”

Everyone in the room was silent.

"Do you know who's in charge?" Teacher Tear asked.

"That's the reason you're here. I tried to use magic to channel his soul and learn something, but that soul has disappeared completely. The weapon used in the crime is an ordinary dagger, with hundreds of similar daggers in the capital, so we cannot use it to narrow down suspects. In other words, we have nothing.”

Evelyn shook her head.

We looked at each other with surprised looks.

For someone as powerful as a principal, solving crimes was something very easy. Just channeling the souls of the dead could give him an answer.

But if his soul was lost, it made things even more difficult.

In fact, the fact that the killer wiped the soul completely was already strange. Not many people in the world can do that.

School Head Evelyn looked at our every expression and nodded. “The reason I gathered you here is so that you can help us in the investigation. Sixteen of you are the most capable teachers and students in this school.”

A teacher frowned. “But the principal, none of us have experience solving murders.I think you need to seek help from people more experienced in this topic.”

I have experience. One of my past lives was a detective. By the way, it's one of the best lives I've ever lived.

Alcohol, drugs, and prostitutes. Defeat criminals and solve impossible crimes. Hardly anyone beat him.

But I can't explain it to them.

"i know that." Evelyn nodded.

“And I've asked a team of specialists to continue the investigation. But I need your help for something different, you will patrol around the school if the killer strikes again and notices other students and teachers. With any luck, you can find the clue that led us to the murder.”

The teachers nodded.

Another teacher raised his hand. “What about the club committee? They can also help.”

The headmaster furrowed his brows. "They've been busy with other tasks."

Falsehoods. Evelyn might exclude them from helping Dina.

Dina has lately been increasing her influence at the institute in preparation for the usurpation of the throne. His influence was already great because he became the chairman of OSIS, but now that he started to actively improve his image, he became much more influential among the students.

When Evelyn made sure that we had no more questions, she nodded. “There are sixteen of you, so I will divide you into four teams of four. Any issues?"

We concur.

I was put on the same team as Katherine, Iris, and Rose. I love this team, full of beautiful girls.

Katherine doesn't seem happy to work with me.

"Two teams would patrol the institute grounds at all times. When one team completes the round, the other team will take over them.” Evelyn continued to explain.

We nodded.

Evelyn was satisfied with our answer. “Alright, now that everything is decided, you are dismissed. Go back to your class. Claus, you stay here. I need to ask you something.”

"i understand."

The girls looked at me strangely as if asking why I was asked to stay. I shrugged my shoulders to show I didn't know.

When everyone was gone, the headmaster walked over to me.

“Let's go, Klaus. I'll take you to the murder site.”

"Huh? Why?"

“To find directions. As a twelfth tier practitioner, maybe you can find something I missed.”

I shook my head a little. It makes mountains out of the nests of the earth rats.

"You don't understand the seriousness of this matter, Claus." Evelyn said as she realized that I wasn't too interested in her.

“There have been no murders at the institute in the last forty years. Then, someone was suddenly killed last night. Fortunately, the victim was an ordinary person. But if we don't resolve this situation and a noble dies next, I'll have to deal with an angry and arrogant bastard who only knows how to throw away their weight. ” Evelyn smiled bitterly.

I smile. Yes, nobles are like that.

"I'll teleport us there." Evelyn explained. "You're also a powerful powerhouse, so I hope you can find something."

“... You seem very confident in me.” I gave him a strange look.

"of course. You even injured a saint creature last night.” Evelyn smiled.

"Huh? Me?" I pretended to be surprised.

Evelyn frowned. “That's not you? But you weren't in your room last night.. Mmm, you lied to me, right?”

I'm sorry, but I don't plan to answer that question.

Evelyn stopped asking when she saw I was planning to pretend not to know, but the expression on her face made it clear that she did not believe my words.

After the teleportation, we appeared in the room where the murder took place. The body's been moved, and the room's empty besides me and Evelyn.

"Can you find something?" ask Evelyn.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Wait a minute." Then, I activated (Akashic Sight).

All the information about this room came to my mind. Using (Akashic Sight) nothing about this room could escape my sight.

My mana ran out quickly, but soon, my wrinkles became deeper and deeper.

“... Strange, I couldn't find anything.”

Looks like this problem is bigger than I thought.
