I, the Villain, Want to Save Myself, But the Yandere Heroines Disagree
Chapter 88 - It Should Be Alright, Right?

“You... how did you know?” Sherlock said this, her gaze filled with surprise as she looked at Orson.

“It’s a very simple logic. Detectives are used to searching for evidence layer by layer from bottom to top, for fear of missing anything. When I just came in, you should still have been in the initial stage of searching, and hadn’t found anything yet, right?” Orson said this.

“And you alone were searching on the third floor. It’s hard not to suspect whether you found something unusual.”

“And when I came up and asked, you said you hadn’t found anything unusual.”

“The detectives here are not all from the same faction. The reason you said that to me means that you want to investigate the result on your own and then claim this achievement all to yourself. Am I right, Miss Sharlot?”

Orson said this, walked a few steps away, and sat down on the sofa, looking as if he saw through everything.

“...” Sherlock heard this, was silent for a while, and then tried to argue, “Then what if I am different from others and like to investigate this way?”

Orson smiled and looked at Sharlot, not speaking.

After a while, Sharlot, who was looking at Orson, finally couldn’t stand the pressure and spoke, “Alright, I admit, I did have this idea. So, how did you know?”

“It’s very simple. Space,” Orson said this, pointing downstairs.

Looking up from downstairs, the space on the third floor is clearly very large, but now there is only one office. Miss Sharlot, you must have first looked around the structure of the entire building before choosing to investigate the third floor, right?

Easily stating Sharlot’s movements, Orson stood up again and came beside the bookshelf.

“Then, let’s go in and see what’s inside.”

Saying this, Orson’s hand touched the button on the bookshelf. Immediately, the floor tiles beneath the bookshelf moved. The bookshelf immediately moved away, revealing a door that opened inward. Orson reached out his hand and gently pushed the door open.

“This is...”

Sherlock looked at the open entrance. Seeing the scene inside, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

As soon as Orson pushed open the door, the room was filled with dazzling golden light, leaving Sherlock staring blankly.

How is this a secret room? This is a large vault, completely full of gold coins. Quite a few gold coins were even melted down and cast into gold bars placed on the shelves.

She had never seen so much money in her life.

“It seems this place is indeed very profitable. Just by selling alcohol, being able to accumulate so much money is truly not easy.”

Orson said this, sighing.

“Miss Sharlot, don’t blame me for pouring cold water on you. Although there is a lot of money here, as detectives, we cannot touch anything here. The value here must be assessed by the authorities.”

“Cough, cough, of course I know that. Don’t look down on me. I have very good detective skills!”

“I hope so.” Orson nodded, then turned around.

“I’m preparing to go down and report. What about you, Miss Sharlot?”

“Cough, cough... Can... can I go down with you?” Sharlot naturally knew the meaning of Orson’s words.

In a place like this, finding clues means gaining reward and credit. Orson’s words were clearly asking her if she wanted to share this credit with him.

“Mm, rather, I don’t actually care about the so-called credit. Furthermore, if two people go to report, they can look out for each other and be a bit more convincing, right?”

“Since that’s the case, then... then I will humbly accept.” Sherlock heard this, nodded, and then followed behind Orson, walking down.

Regarding Orson deliberately teasing her just now, Sherlock no longer dwelled on it.

After all, this secret room was discovered by Orson, and Sherlock didn’t provide any help during the process.

However, Sherlock was the first to reach the third floor after all. Seeing that the credit was taken by Orson, it was inevitable that she would feel a little unbalanced inside, but if she were to forcefully share the credit with Orson, that would also be a bit too shameless.

Fortunately, Orson gave Sherlock a way out, which calmed Sherlock’s heart a little.

After arriving on the first floor, Orson was the first to find the official in charge this time. After briefly explaining the anomaly on the third floor to him, the official in charge immediately took a unit of guards and headed straight for the third floor.

The other detectives present saw this scene and immediately knew that someone had obtained the investigation results before them. This left them both annoyed and helpless, only regretting that their abilities were not sufficient.

Just at this moment, a sound of fighting suddenly came from upstairs. After hearing the sound, Orson quickly ran up.

“Hey, where are you going?!” Sherlock saw Orson running up, and she also chased after him.

After the two arrived on the third floor, they only saw a group of guards lying on the ground, and a small figure.

After seeing the two, the dark figure quickly jumped from the nearby window onto the rooftop of a civilian house elsewhere, escaping via the stairs.

Seeing this, Orson also quickly climbed out the window and chased after him, leaving only Sherlock alone at the window watching Orson’s back.

“Hey! You didn’t tell me you were that strong beforehand!”

And the guards on duty on Oak Street only saw two figures moving quickly on the rooftops. They were moving so fast that the guards couldn’t see their specific appearance clearly.

Helplessly, the guards could only report this information to their commander, and then the commander sent people with high strength to pursue along the tracks where the two disappeared.

On the other side, Sherlock, after seeing Orson climb out the window and chase after him, stood in place helplessly.

After that, she heard groans coming from behind her.

“Huh?” She turned her head and looked at the guards.

“You’re not dead?”

“Pah, who are you cursing to die?” A guard shouted loudly, enduring the pain.

At this moment, the official in charge from downstairs also quickly came up with people.

Only after counting the number of people and confirming that there were no casualties, did he frown.

“What does the other party mean by this? They dare to come to a place like this and risk their lives, yet they don’t dare to kill people?”

“Is this a provocation or a gesture of goodwill?”

It should be known that being able to take down this group of guards in a very short time also meant that the mysterious person had the ability to kill them. However, the other party did not do so, and upon seeing that there were still people coming up, immediately chose to escape.

“In any case,” the official in charge said this, looking at Sherlock standing beside him.

“Miss Sherlock, for the next period of time, you may be troubled to stay at the Imperial Court as a witness at the scene for a while.”

“It’s alright, it’s alright.” Sherlock quickly shook her head.

“However, I am a little worried about Orson who chased after him. Can you find him back?”

“As for Young Master Orson, you probably don’t need to worry. Within the Empire, there shouldn’t be that many people who can pose a threat to him.”

“Orson... Young Master?” At this moment, Sherlock suddenly reacted.

No wonder she felt it sounded a little familiar when Orson introduced himself earlier. It turned out to be that Orson.

It was all her fault for being too focused on solving the case at that time and not paying attention to the other party’s identity.

However, since it is Orson, who is famous throughout Saint Roland City, he should not encounter problems... right?
