I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree - Chapter 101

So she left?

Clearly impossible!

Sherlock was able to become a detective and gain some fame not only because of her intellect, but also because her own physical strength was a very important reason.

When she was talking with Orson, she had already confessed her strength.

Tier 5 mage.

Actually, at that time, she had still hidden her true strength a little.

In reality, her strength was Tier 6.

A Tier 6 mage, wanting to sneak in here without being noticed, was still not a problem.

After the doorman chased Sherlock away, he also relaxed his guard.

After all, at this time, no one foolish enough would come running here. Why risk his neck for a few silver coins a month? He would definitely slack off whenever he could.

Then, in a place he didn’t notice, a door was quietly opened, and Sherlock just quietly slipped in.

In the past, when solving cases in other places, Sherlock would also encounter all sorts of obstacles. She had actually encountered situations like this more than once before. In this kind of situation, when reasoning doesn’t work, she could only resort to some unconventional methods.

Because the casino was closed for reorganization, there weren’t many people here now, except for the occasional cleaning staff passing by. Therefore, no one noticed Sherlock quietly sneaking in.

The drunkard from earlier that morning had given Sherlock a piece of information.

That drunkard often frequented gray areas like taverns and casinos. Therefore, he often saw the person who met with Mudrick in this casino.

The other party seemed to be a manager at the casino, or a very well-known customer. Every time he came here, he went to a VIP booth. Because he was always protected by people around him and was very conspicuous, the drunkard had a strong impression of him.

In any case, as long as she could find the casino’s registration book, she would definitely be able to pinpoint the suspect’s information.

Thinking this, Sherlock quietly came to the reception desk and started rummaging under the counter.

Just at this moment, she heard footsteps coming from a distance, getting closer.

She quickly stopped what she was doing and then completely hid herself under the counter.

Fortunately, the other party just stopped in front of the counter, seemingly waiting for someone.

After a short while, another set of footsteps came and also stopped in front of the counter.

Just as Sherlock was looking at the two pairs of feet through the gap under the counter, wondering if the other party had discovered her and was about to attack, one of them spoke.

“Has the information from above been passed down? How much longer until we can open for business?”

“We have to wait until this incident is over. Furthermore, it seems that His Majesty’s speech in the square suggests he is not going to give us a way out…”

It seemed that these two were managers of the casino. After listening to the first few sentences, Sherlock immediately pricked up her ears, preparing to record the entire conversation. This would be an important clue.

“That conversation in the square… We can’t really say. In any case, the City Hall and the Imperial Palace haven’t ordered a complete shutdown yet. We should open whenever we can.”

“Mm, I think so too. After all, there will never be a shortage of people in our line of work. Whether it’s laundering money for those rich people, or helping them maintain order among the common people, His Majesty will definitely not completely eliminate us.”

“But things are not so clear here… after all, the crest of that assassinated Duke was found here last time.”

“Confirmed? Is it genuine?”

“Genuine beyond doubt. After all, no one dares to forge a Duke’s crest.”

“How could no one dare? They dare to assassinate a Duke. They wouldn’t dare to forge a crest?”

“The crucial thing is that crests are difficult to forge. They have the family’s mark on them. People of the same bloodline can sense it. That young Duke has already had it tested and confirmed that it is genuine…”

“I feel there is still something suspicious about this matter…”

The two continued to chat for a while, but they never discussed anything related to progress in solving the case. Sherlock even wanted to jump out and question them.

However, she was in the wrong at the moment, and the other party seemed to be in a bad mood. If she were to jump out, she would likely get into trouble.

“Sigh, how good it was when we were working under Alpha before. Nothing like this happened. After joining His Highness the Prince, I thought we were going to soar, but then this happened… The small banks and money houses that lent us money have also been pressing us these past few days, but we’re not in business, where will we get the money…”

As soon as she heard the word “Alpha,” Sherlock became alert again.

This casino didn’t belong to His Highness the Prince before?

After the two complained a few more times, they both left.

Sherlock then crawled out from under the counter, and continued to search for the registration book.

Her movements were very light, for fear of making any big noise that would alarm the people still on duty in the casino. Therefore, her movements were also much slower.

Finally, after an hour of persistent searching, she still found the registration book.

The drunkard had given her several dates. Considering that VIP guests might come on different days, she just needed to write down the names of everyone who entered the casino as VIPs on those days and then find the name that appeared the most frequently.

Thinking this, Sherlock immediately began to take action.

Subsequently, as expected, only one name appeared on all those days.

The person’s name was Milton.

“Milton…” Sherlock murmured the name to herself.

“It’s a very common name.”

At this moment, a female voice sounded from the side.

“Yes… There are so many people with this name. We can’t possibly round them all up and have that person identify them one by one, can we?” Sherlock complained.

Subsequently, her movements froze. She stiffly turned her head.

As expected, while she had been focused on comparing names just now, this woman had quietly stood beside her.

Her flaxen long hair, coupled with the other party’s mature makeup and luxurious attire, basically screamed “rich woman.”

Clearly, the other party was either very wealthy or noble. Perhaps she was even the owner of this casino.

Cold sweat beaded on Sherlock’s forehead. She was cursing herself a million times internally for being careless just now.

“Um… excuse me, I’m here to investigate a case. In any case, I have found what I wanted now, so I won’t trouble you further. Goodbye!”

After saying this, Sherlock prepared to sneak away, but the other party directly extended her hand and stopped Sherlock.

“Guests are guests. If you don’t stay and sit for a while, wouldn’t I, as the host, be lacking in manners?” The other party smiled like this, which only made Sherlock even more afraid.

It was over. This kind of person clearly looked like a ruthless female demon who wouldn’t even bat an eye at killing. She had trespassed into the other party’s territory and rummaged through their things. Was she going to have a hand chopped off…
