nEveryone kept wondering how the liar in the group could be.

nWhy would the person lie if he wasn't guilty?

nThe most surprising thing to them, was how this inspector was able to tell if they had any visitors in their rooms or not.

nOf course amongst them, there was one person who's heartbeat increased nervously.

nInspector Morgan looked at them and smirked.

n

"As I said, all except 1 of you was telling the truth.

nMr. Hemrew, I think you can stop pretending now.

"

n

"_

"

nHearing that, everyone's eyes bulged out in shock when they heard Hemrew's name.

nHe was the most unlikely in their opinion.

nHe was the shy one of the group, and always needed convincing whoever they wanted to do anything.

nDid the inspector make a mistake?

n.

n

"Yes.... for a lot of untrained civilians, you might be able to fool them.

nBut... I'm sorry to say that, your luck has finally run out.

nFor starters, even though you came as a tourist.... you claimed to be a merchant.

nNow, anyone who has spent enough time with merchants would know their uncontrollable urge to buy and sell.

nIf there was anything new and amazing, they would try to get any sort of deal, discount or contract for any new item on the market.

nAnd that's where you gave yourself up.

nWhat sort of merchant leaves the place with just 3 pieces of baggage?

nIn fact, let's forget about the number for now, and loom at the items within them.

nYour luggage only had single items in them, and not items bought in bulk.

nIf you had even bought 4 pairs of shirts that looked alike and were different sizes like large, small or medium..... that would even be somewhat believable.

nBut you have just 1 pair or type of product for yourself only.

nAnd what sort of merchant leaves with just 3 suitcases?

nIn addition to that, while you were here, you never tried to get deals for your so-called business or even show signs of interest in buying any item in bulk.

nIn other words, you shopped with only you in mind.

nSo no matter how I see it, there's no way that you're a merchant.

nYour skin is extremely fair and in no way the same to those of peasants or ordinary folks.

nSo maybe you're a noble instead.

"

n.

nThe more inspector Morgan spoke, the more shocked everyone became.... especially the other suspects.

nWhat the hell?

nYou could catch a lie using just this?

nEven though the other suspects were all amazed, they couldn't help but agree with inspector Morgan's analysis.

nWhat sort of merchant didn't care about expanding his business, as well as getting enough products to market out?

nIt was like Hemrew had been shopping for himself rather than for his store.

n3 bags?

nEven they as nobles had at least 40~50 bags.

nBut Hemrew who they just found out was also a noble only left with 3 bags?

nCome on!.... even peasants who were leaving Baymard, left with 4 or 5 bags.

nBut this dude wanted to leave with just 3?

nNah.... it was definitely suspicious!

n

"Mr. Hemrew, with all that we've said... it seems like your identity is a fake isn't it.

" Inspector Morgan said, with a broad smile on his face.

nHemrew looked at him and sneered.

n

"So what if I came here using a fake identity, what does that prove?

"

n

"Ahh.... you're finally showing your true self.

nI always knew that, that cowardly appearance and demeanour of yours was all an act.

"

nIt was all an act?

nAll the other suspects looked at Hemrew in shock.

nWas this still the shy and overly obedient guy that they all knew?

nThey had never seen anyone's facial expression change so fast.

nOne moment he looked like an angel, and the next... he looked like a demon.

n.

n

"You're really a smart one.

nIn case you got caught during your departure, you already planned for others to take the fall in your place.

n

n

nSo 2 weeks before your departure, you began looking for your targets.

nYou would always sit in the lounge area for several hours while observing everyone that came and went.

nAnd that's how you spotted the other suspects.

nYou then made your move by 'accidentally' spraining your ankle in front of them.

nAnd sure enough, you took the opportunity to bond with them and tell them about how you had no friends here in Baymard.

nOf course from there, the rest was history.

nYou see, from the get-go.... you had planned for us to crucify one of them as the culprit.

nBut never in your wildest dreams, would you have believed that we would uncover the whole case and still find you as the culprit.

nIn other words, your bags were never touched by anyone else.

"

n--silence--

nThe room was dead silent, and after listening to inspector Morgan, they finally knew that they had been had.

nTheir blood began to boil with rage, as they thought about how they would never see their families again if they were actually found to be guilty.

nLuckily..... luckily, the Baymardian police and military forces were too skilled to let them suffer any losses.

nMany of them felt like breaking their handcuffs and smashing Hemrew's head against the table.

nMotherf***er!!!

n'Bam!'

nThey hit their tables hard and cursed Hemrew with all their hearts.

n.

n

"So with that said, even though everyone except Hemrew is free to leave..... we will ask for you all to stay here until nightfall before we secretly transport you out again.

nAnd of course, I have to remind you all that everyone should keep this experience a secret.

nMany people want information about baymard.

nSo when they hear that you went through this scenario, they might capture, torture and even kill you and your families just to have any information about your experience during the case.

nSo for your own sake, keep this experience a secret.

nNow..... as we had promised, your stays in Baynard will be expended by 14 days.... and you will get 2 free tickets each to any of the theatre shows.

nThis is our little thank you for cooperating with us.

"

nWith that said, the soldiers took Hemrew to the secret dungeon within the wing.... while the other suspects stayed in the room instead.

nThey were once again uncuffed and allowed to do anything they wanted in the room.

nNow.... it was time to get the names of those Baymardian traitors.
