Chapter 475 Who Did It?

The traitors went about their business within the barracks without a care in the world.

I’m them, they had managed to even fool his majesty Landon Barn.

So right now, they were feeling very unstoppable.

And while these back-stabbers were gloating in their success, back in the palace... Landon and his gang had already reached their final Verdict.

They walked into the room which now had 6 people in it, and looked at each and every one of them thoughtfully.

They had to bring the other suspects in because if they were actually guilty, then they would definitely send word to those traitors in the barracks.

But while the group stayed here, they were treated and cared for extremely well.

.

Over the past few days, these suspects had learnt that they had rights.... and wouldn’t be ill-treated or rough-handled in any way.

After all, they were suspects and not prisoners.

In fact, they were given free delicious food, books and games to entertain themselves with.

They didn’t really kick up a fuss, because they were told that they would be in here at most for 1-week max.

But it was only 3 days and these people had already found the culprit?

How fast!

They were also told that they would be compensated for their troubles and given an expansion on their Visas if they were found innocent.

These people didn’t even know that they were in the palace..... so their story would probably talk about being blindfolded, as well as how scared or excited they were.

All in all, they enjoyed almost the same luxuries as suspects who stayed in their homes.

The only thing that wasn’t given to them was the freedom to walk around the place.

Stepping into the room Landon and the rest could see that some of the suspects were excited, while others looked extremely sad or had stone-cold expressions on their faces

Landon looked at the excited men amongst the pack and couldn’t help but shake his head wryly.

There were always people who got excited when going through something remotely dangerous or dramatic

Some people just lived for the drama.

’Bam!’

One of the soldiers shut the door behind him tightly and followed patiently behind Landon.

Now.... it was time to unmask the traitor’s accomplice(s) from the group.

.

"Gentlemen..... this is Chief Inspector Morgan from the police department, who you’re all familiar with by now.

He’s done putting all the clues together..... and now, it’s time for judgment.

Inspector Morgan..... the floor is yours."

"Thank you, your majesty!"

One should know that the military couldn’t look and search for clues like the inspectors or even those skilled like the F.B.I

Hence this investigation had to be handled by the inspectors.

Whether the suspects where guilty or not, the inspector would do their best to crack down the case as swiftly as they could.

Lucius was also the Head of the police here in Baymard, so he knew about their tactics.

But even still, he, Landon and the other 2 soldiers just stood at a distance and let the chief inspector work his magic.

Inspector Morgan looked at the suspects coldly and finally dumped a file on the table before them.

"Today, I’ll tell you all a little tale about what actually happened on the night that you all claimed to be drunk... Or as the youth call it now, wasted.

Mr. Thomas... Me. Anderson."

"Yes!" They both answered nervously.

"You two initiated the whole thing, telling everyone to go out for fun.

Both of you also paid for everyone’s bottles of beer, and also made sure that everyone was drunk to stupor."

"But we..."

Before they could even protest, Inspector Morgan raised his tone and continued speaking over them.

"Do you two want to deny it!"

"No... But we..."

"So you do agree!

You both initiated the whole thing and made sure that everyone was slightly pushed to their limits.

And by the time everyone went back to their rooms, it was lights out for them when they got on their beds."

.

Listening to the inspector, the rest of the suspects couldn’t help but look at the duo suspiciously.

Was it really a coincidence?

These people had tried so hard that night to make them completely wasted.

And even when some of them protested at the beginning, the duo wouldn’t have it and continuously insisted that they should drink until they passed out.

The other suspects unconsciously leaned away from the duo from shame.

They were almost used by these people and killed.

Luckily, the Baymard had a policy of first finding out the truth before prosecuting or torturing them.

Most places would begin torturing them and even go so far as to kill them without any evidence at all.

They all swore that after they get out, they wouldn’t be so trusting of people again.

They would only get wasted with people that they truly knew.

They could drink with strangers, but not to the point where they were wasted.

Yes.... was this what the Baymardians meant by drinking responsibly?

.

"All of you said that during your stay here, no one except for the stuff came into your rooms.

And since none of you were familiar with each other .... you all just knocked on each other’s doors when it was time for breakfast or when you wanted to leave for fun.

Correct?"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

They all answered hurriedly while looking at inspector Morgan anxiously.

"You see, we searched your rooms and found strands of hair, dirty dried up footprints in your bathroom and other minute details.... that showed that indeed, apart from the hotel workers....no one else came into your rooms.

So all of you were telling the truth.

All except 1."

"_"

.

Once again, everyone was utterly confused.

Even the back soldiers at the back were confused as well.

Everyone was at the edge of their seats, as their minds quickly went to work.

The suspects all looked at each other as if trying to find out who the real culprit was from amongst them.

They looked at everyone’s subtle movements, as if trying to be detectives themselves.

In the end, who did it?
