"The church took over. After all, your mother was born in the church." Lord Rossi said.
Agnes nodded and hesitated for a while before asking: "Did you find anything?"
Mr. Rossi helplessly reached out and tucked Agnes' loose hair behind her ears. He shook his head and said, "The church needs some time to investigate."
Agnes clenched the fabric of the long skirt in her hand, and after a long time she said, "If there are any results from the investigation, I hope you can tell me."
"Of course, you should know." Mr. Rossi took Agnes's hand and stood up.
"Go get some sleep, you'll feel better."
...
"He turned himself in this morning," Ms. Jones said softly.
"He said he commissioned the assassination."
Agnes, walking behind Ms. Jones, sneered when she heard these two sentences and asked, "Really? What's his reason?"
"He said that it was because Count Pagani initiated the abolition of the guild system and because he had a grudge against Pagani that the Count imprisoned him, making him miss the funeral of the former president of the blacksmith guild."
Agnes did not speak and walked silently. The only sound left in the corridor was the sound of their footsteps.
"To push him to take the blame is to treat others as fools." Agnes said softly.
Ms. Jones shook her head, sighed, and said, "Anyone who knows a little bit can see it, but there is nothing you can do about it."
"After our investigation, we found that Henry Schelling had indeed hired assassins to kill people, and the person who assassinated Count Pagani did come from the force he chose."
"Which force?" Agnes asked.
Ms. Jones stopped, turned around and said, "The Kosia Party is a gang in Feneport City."
"A gangster?" Agnes also stopped, looked at Ms. Jones and asked, "Why does Henry Schelling think this gangster can successfully assassinate an earl?"
"We also felt strange at the beginning." Ms. Jones sighed slowly and said, "But after investigation, we found that this gang actually has a background from the Intis side."
"So the Kosia Party is most likely the nail that Intis buried in Feneport City?" Agnes asked.
"But why did the Kosia Party risk exposure now to assassinate him? If he had assassinated him before the bill to abolish the guild system had been passed, the reasons would have been even stronger."
"That's also where we're confused," Ms. Jones said.
The two didn't speak any more, and soon came to a prison-like place. Ms. Jones handed a badge to the guard, who saluted the two and let them in.
The two walked into a room that was not too dark and was divided into two compartments that could see each other through the window.
"The arraignment of Henry Schelling," Ms. Jones said.
The guard who followed the two men in nodded and walked out of the room.
"Henry Schelling has been convicted?" Agnes asked, frowning.
"Yes, although the process has not been completed yet, it is certain that he participated in the assassination. In addition, there are other homicide cases on him." Ms. Jones explained.
Agnes nodded, said no more, and followed Ms. Jones to sit down on a chair on the side of the room.
Not long after, Agnes saw Henry Schelling enter the compartment on the other side.
Henry Schelling saw Agnes on the other side at a glance, and he seemed to be in a good mood and said hello to Agnes.
"We meet again, little girl of Natural Heart."
Agnes looked up at Henry Schelling and said calmly: "I did not expect to see you under such circumstances, Mr. Schelling."
"Hahaha, indeed, this is not a comfortable meeting scene." Henry Schelling said with a smile.
"Although the first two times I saw you were not pleasant scenes."
The pen in Agnes' hand suddenly broke. Ms. Jones looked at Agnes with some worry. Agnes shook her head slightly and said: "Mr. Sherrin, I don't think the relationship between us has reached the level of To the point where we can have small talk when we meet.”
"Indeed, indeed, you are here to interrogate me." Henry Schelling said as if he finally remembered his situation.
"So what do you want to ask?"
Ms. Jones was the first to ask: "Why did you choose the Kosia Party for the assassination mission?"
"Why did you choose the Corsia Party?" Henry Schelling said as if he had heard a joke: "Isn't the most famous killer organization in Feneport City the Corsia Party?"
"Oh, no, you are extraordinary members of the church. There is no need to entrust others to kill people." Henry Schelling said in a sinister tone.
Agnes knocked on the table, frowned and said, "Mr. Schelling, please speak politely."
"I'm just answering the question of the lady next to you." Henry Schelling said with a smile.
"What was the reward for entrusting the Kosia Party?" Ms. Jones ignored Henry Schelling's eccentricity and asked the second question.
"All the gold riso left in the blacksmith's guild is about more than 100,000 gold riso." Henry Schelling sighed and said without knowing what he thought of.
"Nothing else?" Ms. Jones added.
"No." Henry Schelling shook his head.
Agnes couldn't help turning her head to look at Ms. Jones.
Ms. Jones ignored Agnes and asked again: "Who was the person who received you when you were entrusted by the Kosia Party?"
Henry Schelling curled his lips and said, "I don't recognize it."
"Would you be able to identify the other person if he were in front of you?" Ms. Jones asked directly without any wavering on her face.
"Should be." Henry Schelling replied somewhat perfunctorily.
Ms. Jones asked several questions and repeated the previous questions many times before stopping the interrogation.
The guards took away Henry Schelling, and then Ms. Jones looked at Agnes.
"I almost thought you were going to just rush over and hit him," Ms. Jones said.
"I did have such an idea, but I know it is of no use." Agnes said expressionlessly.
"He looked very proud." Agnes turned her head and said, "He didn't hide what he did. '3-1597' didn't respond at all."
Within the scope of "3-1597", if someone tells a lie, "3-1597" will automatically punish him.
"He has gone mad, and the news in the newspapers this morning is that the countess was stabbed to death, and that the count and his eldest son were seriously injured and dying."
"He probably didn't expect the assassination to be successful when he commissioned it." Agnes sneered and said, "The current situation has probably exceeded his expectations."
"It seems he no longer cares whether his family will be retaliated against for his actions."
Ms. Jones turned, shook her head, and said, "Everyone in his family was dead, just this morning."
