THE RISE OF THE KNIGHTS OF SINNERS
#33# DIFFICULT CASE TO SOLVE
For 3 weeks the investigation of the case that befell Clara continued and Yurei's forces had already obtained some important clues such as the discovery of the thief's headquarters which Clara had intended and some small nobles who had hired Clara.
Leo along with Yurei's troops alternately conducted an investigation and tried to find out the main perpetrator who sold Clara. But, honey, no new leads have been found yet. They had interrogated several thieves who had once fucked Clara and the thieves were again killed with arrows by unknown people.
Maybe for many people what Leo did was too excessive because they could report to the royal side. But the fact that the kingdom did not care much about it plus bribes bribed among officials and military officials made public confidence in the kingdom decrease.
That's what Leo thought, too. He chose to move on his own rather than report it to the kingdom because it was certain that the report would never reach the king without money.
...***...
Today was still the same, Leo and the 6th division Yurei continued to search for information in the academy. They questioned several parties, especially some groups who had attacked Clara.
Who would have thought one of the groups was the Fitheach group. Time and time again Leo sent some Yurei members to ask Clara's case to them but the group kept on berating and always dodging. There was almost a dispute between the members of Yurei and some members of Fitheach but fortunately Aron was able to pass it and told his group to ignore the question.
Leo also had time to persuade Thalia to ask this question but Thalia could not. He had promised Aron not to interfere in each other's personal matters. Thalia was very loyal to the promise because it was difficult for Leo to persuade her brother.
So structured concealment of this case makes Leo suspect the mastermind behind this is all famous people and he suspects the culprit from among the Count level nobles or even archduke. If it is true that the culprit from among them, obviously this can be a big case as well as can affect one of the noble factions that are eyeing the throne.
...***...
The following days began to make no progress. The information obtained is not increased anymore. When almost giving up on this case, at first glance Leo thought of a very risky way. That way is by fishing the teacher that Clara meant.
Leo was aware of the many bullying that took place in the academy. He wanted to take advantage of the situation to make the teacher appear.
Leo also spread the Yurei troops throughout the academy to supervise the students who were being rounded up. Leo thought for sure that the perpetrator would appear in the place of one of the stranded students.
The surveillance lasted for 2 weeks and when Leo did surveillance on one of the girls, he accidentally saw the student he was watching carrying a gold badge.
Leo suspected the student because on the list of gold badge owners there was not a single name of the scholarship recipient student on the list. Leo slowly followed her wherever she went. Leo's suspicions grew as the student walked into the teacher's room at the hour of her return. And the room should have been deserted because the teachers had also gone home.
Leo uses soul-sealing magic and tries to get into the teacher's room. But, it was surprised by the door of the master teacher's room that sealed it with a holy seal and made it unable to enter. Leo could only wait until the student came out.
Who would have thought, that young man would have to wait until midnight when the academy was completely gone. Not long after, the student came out of the teacher's room. The female student was walking like never before plus there were blood stains on her thighs and there were some bruises on her arms.
This time Leo was already convinced that the perpetrator was in the teacher's room. Sure enough, a few moments after the student came out, there was a teacher who also came out of the room. And the teacher was exactly the same as Clara said.
When it was near, Leo immediately threw a punch. Unexpectedly the teacher suddenly melted his body then disappeared.
Leo did not give up, he took out detection magic and found a powerful magic energy on the 1st floor of the academy. Leo ran and approached the origin of the magic energy. Just down to the 1st floor, suddenly 4 arrows shot towards him but Leo who had good reflexes managed to avoid it even in the dark. He then retaliated against the attack by slashing the wind slash magic.
Leo's attack hit but again the teacher's body melted and disappeared. This time Leo failed to catch up and chose to return to the dormitory. At least tonight he's got a new lead.
Upon his return from the academy building, Leo told Yurei's troops everything and ordered one of the Yurei members to supervise the schoolgirl Leo had previously been in the teacher's room.
...***...
The next day when Leo opened the door, he found a lot of letters piling up on the doorstep. All the letters Leo put into the room and then open them one by one.
It turns out that the letters contained death threats by an unknown person to Leo. Instead of being afraid of the contents of the letter, Leo got a brilliant idea.
Leo saw all the forms of writing in the letters the same. He also planned to try to equate the form of writing in the letter with the form of writing by the teachers of the academy. Leo then distributed the letters to Yurei's troops and Clara's group with the aim of matching them.
The matching mission lasted for 3 days and found the written form of some teachers that was almost similar to the one in the letter. Soon Leo ordered some Yurei members to scout the suspected teachers.
But what a pity, the reconnaissance was fruitless. Yurei members on a reconnaissance mission dared to say that the teachers suspected had nothing to do with the case that befell Clara after they staked out and found out the background of the teachers.
In the end the letter instead becomes the next mysterious clue that cannot be solved.
Leo himself was forced to temporarily stop the investigation because for weeks he took the time of the members of Yurei who were busy studying.
Even so, Leo still tried to investigate alone in between the academy learning is ongoing and the results are the same he also did not get one additional clue other than the threatening letter.
But the death threats are not a figment. Leo himself almost every night saw the figure of the teacher when looking out the window. Every time Leo came, the teacher disappeared and it happened almost every night.
Leo was not afraid of the teacher's terror on him but he was afraid that the teacher was after Thalia. Therefore every night Leo had to stay up at least until the figure disappeared again.
