It was pulled low to hide her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tan trench coat, which was open, draped over her, and she was also wearing the classic detective dark suit with a vest underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked at herself with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid looked at her while blinking absentmindedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked at her with a raised eyebrow as she wasn’t answering her for some odd reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I apologize for my delayed reaction... I didn’t expect the detective to be a woman. It is not a common profession for a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t include the fact that Della was also incredibly cute and very young—someone like her shouldn’t be a detective and instead should be doing something more traditionally feminine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will that be a problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della put her hands on her hips and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not. The deal is this: the master of the mansion was murdered last night. A knife to the heart while he was sleeping on his bed. I found him lying in a pool of blood when I went to deliver his morning tea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then turned around to look at the closed doors, and continued with:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesterday, we had a birthday party to celebrate his 75th birthday. There were a lot of people present. The ones that stayed overnight are currently in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One of them must’ve done the deed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid said with a serious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That includes you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della tipped the low-brimmed hat as she looked at the maid, and she was stunned before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, I am also a suspect. I will also be there, and I will answer every question honestly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my assistant, Fang Raon. While I interrogate the suspects, why don’t you take him to your deceased master’s bedroom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid looked at Fang Raon, and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t see the camera. It was invisible for the locals. And it was only visible to the players.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid then walked to the doors, and opened them—the inside of the living room quieted down—the people inside turned to look at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t seem happy to be stuck there, as none of them liked being a suspect in a murder case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Raon, try to find anything in the bedroom. I will talk to the suspects meanwhile.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, I’ll leave the camera to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon opened a command panel and changed it so that the camera would enter automatic mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would therefore float behind Della.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that the viewers would prefer to be watching her interrogate the suspects than watch him look around the bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon looked at the maid, and she nodded and started leading him up the stairs to the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Della entered the living room and looked around at all the suspects—there were at least fifteen people here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, everyone. My name is Detective Della Rose from the Rose Records Detective Agency. I hope all of you can answer a couple of questions, if that is alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is ludicrous!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bearded man, Marcus, slammed his hand on the armrest. He was well-suited. Looking like an aristocrat from the historical movies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would’ve never killed my father. The fact that I am even being forced to stay here is a slap to my face!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s enough, brother. It doesn’t hurt to answer some questions. It’ll help Miss Detective to find the culprit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearded man’s sister spoke. She was very soft-spoken. She was also quite lovely-looking with a motherly vibe around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Rosalind Blackwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll start with you then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked at Marcus with a smile and slowly approached him and stopped to stand in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did your father go to sleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Tch. Around 10 at night, I guess. He usually goes to sleep first and wakes up last. Everyone else kept partying for another hour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When did you go to sleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Midnight, I guess. I was pretty tired by then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you happen to hear anything? Did you go see your father after he went to sleep? And when did you wake up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t hear anything, and no, why would I? I just went to sleep, and I woke up when everyone started making a ruckus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I quickly after that heard that my father was killed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della smiled, and she then summoned a grimoire—surprising everyone—and she summoned a light mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Magic?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people in the living room were shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed the mirror at Marcus. It didn’t show his reflection for some odd reason. But that changed soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of Marcus appeared in the mirror, and it started shifting and distorting—the face of Marcus was soon making an evil expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this mirror, I can see the truth of a person. It shows that you are an evil-hearted individual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only worked towards locals. She couldn’t sadly use it on players. But in this scenario, it was very useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"S-s-so, that doesn’t mean anything. That doesn’t prove that I would’ve killed my father. Call me evil or whatever, but I would never kill my father!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marcus screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, it doesn’t prove anything. You can be evil but still love your family too much to do anything to them. I agree.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then put the mirror on the table and sat down with her legs crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want everyone to stand up and go look in the mirror. Before we start the actual interrogation, I want to know what kind of person you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1101,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.438Z",1,"novelbin.me","415fb9f183e6c0ef238ace33bc1276e2127ac72fb2bf1c980ed9d3cd43d089c6","black-online-chapter-153","black-online-chapter-151",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
