"How can we find them? It's absolutely impossible to search them one by one!"
Miko complained.
Alicia couldn't help but feel troubled by the study in front of her, and finally said helplessly:
"We can only go find a few guards to come in and search together."
After all, it was the home of a noble, and a noble who had just met with an accident. It would be fine for Alicia and the others to just leave it at that, and they could use the excuse of visiting the deceased's relics to commemorate the deceased, but if the guards were allowed to join the search, the nature of the matter would change.
However, given the current situation, we have no choice but to do so.
"No, that's not necessary."
Hulim suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
Miko and Alicia were both stunned. Alicia suddenly noticed that since Hulim came in, he had been staring in a certain direction without saying a word.
"Hulim, have you discovered anything?"
"I don't know if this counts as a discovery..."
Hulim walked straight towards what looked like Crawford's desk.
After walking to the desk, Hulim opened a cabinet under the desk and took out a book.
Miko and Alicia came over and looked at the book in Hulim's hand with confusion.
It was just an ordinary literary work, nothing special about it.
Just when Mi Ke was about to ask.
Hulim casually opened the book and it opened directly to a certain page, and inside this page, there was a piece of letter paper.
"Look, I found it."
Miko and Alicia looked at Hulim, then at the letter in her hand.
“???”
A bunch of question marks popped up in my head.
How on earth did you find this?
... ...
In Crawford's study.
The three of them read the letter carefully.
Just as expected.
The letter detailed the situation Crawford was facing and also "thoughtfully" offered a way out of it.
And it was through this letter that Hulim now had a clear understanding of the whole incident.
According to the letter, it can be inferred that Crawford was originally an insider planted by the third prince Diodore in the Ferenna faction.
But later the third prince lost power, and Crawford felt that Felena was more suitable for loyalty, so he directly betrayed Diodore.
The third prince Diodore was very angry about Crawford's behavior and was determined to eradicate him as a traitor.
The letter mentioned that the only way for Crawford to save himself now was to confess to Felena that he was originally a spy planted by Diodore.
At the same time, he showed that he had completely turned over a new leaf and was ready to swear allegiance to Ferenna.
In order to help Crawford accomplish this task more smoothly, the letter also mentioned that there were some other lists of insiders and evidence sent along with the letter. As long as this was given to Ferenna, this matter would definitely be accomplished.
"...It seems the evidence has been handed over to the Fourth Princess. And judging by her recent attitude, she seems to have fully accepted Crawford's confession."
"yes... ..."
Thinking of what Felena had said before, Alicia nodded.
"I'm afraid he not only confessed himself, but also told the Fourth Princess that Diodore was going to kill him. So when Crawford got into trouble, the Fourth Princess immediately concluded that it was the Third Princess who did it. However..."
"Who is the person who wrote this letter? Is it really the eldest prince's man?"
"No...it's not that simple."
Hulim denied it.
She took out the letter she had received before and compared it carefully with this one.
It was written by the same person...
"This person... has a deeper purpose."
Hulim put the two letters away and handed them to Alicia.
"Keep them. They are no longer needed now. Keep them as evidence to accuse the Third Prince."
"good."
Alicia put the two letters away and asked at the same time.
"What do you mean by a deeper purpose?"
Hulim thought for a moment and replied:
"This person may be connected to the First Prince's faction, but I'm more inclined to believe he's from a faction unaffiliated. His actions seemingly inadvertently provoked an all-out war between the Fourth Princess and the Third Prince, and also landed you in some trouble. Ultimately, the First Prince was the only one who benefited."
"But this is just floating waterweed in the shallow waters that appear to be at the bottom of the lake. Beneath this barrier, there are deeper waters and even more darkness that is beyond the reach of light..."
... ...
... ...
The palace of the Ninth Princess Alicia.
"Hulim, the people who meet the requirements have been found."
Alicia spoke.
"It's so fast, it's only been a day."
"It's mainly because he has to be related to the Third Brother, be an acquaintance of Crawford's past, and be a wind magician. It's really hard to find another one who can meet all three of these requirements, right?"
"Wait, there's one thing I don't understand."
Miko raised his hand and asked.
"Why are Hulim and Alicia so sure that the wind magician must be someone Crawford knows?"
"Regarding this question," Hulim replied, "at first we only speculated that this possibility was more likely, but after receiving the second letter, we were certain that it was someone Crawford knew."
