Chapter 952: Section 624: Question (3)_3

With Church’s shout, Halil choked up and eventually sat down on the ground, holding his head "...Indeed, I am a waste, a coward, how did I become a drunkard again..."

Malin looked at this police officer, shook his head, and clapped his hands, drawing the attention of both: "What’s the matter with you two officers, haven’t you noticed that a Legend is sitting right in front of you."

"You... would you help us?" It was only then that Church came to his belated realization.

Malin nodded with a smile: "It seems that you finally understand that apart from being someone you can’t beat, I am also someone who can help you."

After speaking, he took out a second bag of snacks, handed it to the eager Marlene, then stood up and cast a Healing Spell on each of the two men. As Church was covering his nose due to the regrowth of his nasal bone, and Halil spat out a broken tooth root dislodged by the growth of new teeth, Malin approached the two: "I may not be able to help you with detective studies, but when it comes to protecting your safety, I believe I do have confidence."

"You’re right, so I think that the murderer who killed Mendel must have been discovered by me and Harold. In order to cover up his crime, he killed us and erased the clues before we could reveal his identity, and this..." Church looked at Halil, with anger and regret in his voice: "This fool, after losing the clues, eventually turned back into a drunkard."

"My fault." After saying this, Halil pulled another fragment of a tooth from his mouth.

"So, you continue your investigation, and I will have Fio and Lorrin protect you and Harold." Malin had his reasons for this arrangement, and to resolve any doubts, he explained why to the two officers: "I now suspect that you and Harold, Church, might not even be aware that you had any clues or evidence, or to say, the clues and evidence you have might not be enough to directly pin down the murderer."

"Why would you say that?" The two officers showed curiosity at the same time.

"Think about it, if you truly had clues and evidence, informing me or the legendary figure of the Church of the War God would have brought the murderer to justice immediately. However, the murderer killed you and Harold before you could disclose his identity." Malin spoke at length to Church: "This can only prove one of three scenarios: first, the clues and evidence you had weren’t sufficient, because only then the murderer would have the time to kill you to silence you; second, you didn’t realize what you had was sufficient to convict the murderer, but the murderer did, and he couldn’t risk you finding out and letting you live. "

"Indeed, your reasoning is very accurate, Lord Malin, but what about the third point?" Curiosity was nearly written on Church’s face.

And Halil, as a listener, was also engrossed.

"The third point, which I think is the least likely, is that you were killed in a confrontation with the murderer, you found that person, but the murderer’s identity is too unbelievable, so you and Harold confronted the murderer... Of course, I think this is the most likely, I feel that Officer Church, you do not seem to be the rash type, but rather a mature and steady man with deep thoughts."

Just after he finished speaking, Malin saw Halil looking at Church with an expression that said ’Why didn’t I know he was a mature and steady man even after knowing Church for so long’.

And this officer, hailing from Thainan, took out his handkerchief to wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

Wait a minute, surely not.

Malin crossed his arms and looked at these two jokers.

Did I really hit the nail on the head with just one guess?
