Something was wrong with Willis?!
Dresden's eyes widened, and he instinctively refused to believe it.
But a moment later, he began to hesitate.
Because the note also said: Pute was one of Death Knell's men, and several people could confirm it.
Pute was actually one of Death Knell's men?
With several witnesses to back it up, how could Willis have failed to notice?
That wasn't normal!
Unless...
Suspicion was the most tenacious seed in the world.
Once sown, it would grow relentlessly until it filled a person's heart, making them paranoid and suspicious of everything.
Especially when someone was fanning the flames.
"Dresden."
"Can I ask why you were late?"
"I contacted you through Willis, but you arrived ten minutes after the agreed time!"
After a brief hesitation, Giant Arm, who stood nearby, suddenly spoke up.
"I came at the time Willis told me..."
Dresden stopped mid-sentence.
Willis?
Willis!
Willis was involved again!
Was there really something wrong with Willis?
Dresden took a deep breath, looked at Giant Arm, and said, "I'll check with Willis, then give you an answer."
Those words were meant not only for Giant Arm, but also for Sheriff Pudek.
"All right."
Giant Arm nodded.
Sheriff Pudek raised no objection either.
The three of them were about to leave the morgue when its door was pushed open.
"2567, what brings you here?"
Dresden froze at the sight of Qin Ran, who had appeared silently outside the door.
Giant Arm frowned but said nothing.
Even the recently renowned Gluttony King couldn't stir any interest in Giant Arm, whose confidence and career had just suffered a setback.
Sheriff Pudek was polite enough to wave.
"Good afternoon, 2567."
But that was all.
It was nothing more than courtesy.
He still seemed angry over Qin Ran's earlier sophistry.
Qin Ran
