Reincarnation Monarch

"Yes, the estimated time of death, but it was last night."

As I recall, Shester said.

"Do you even know that?

Gaius said it seemed really unexpected.

Because Gaius thought as much without the science of this world.

"Oh, that's about all the doctors can tell. Look at the status of the body."

(Right. Naturally there are a lot of dead people in this world, so even if science hasn't progressed, the rules of thumb tell...)

Gaius was convinced as he nodded into small pieces.

Then there, again, a young police officer jumped in earlier.

"Excuse me! Will the councillor still be here!?

"I'm here. I need you to report it from there."

"Ha! We'll report you! It's about the military uniform the victim was wearing, but it was fake!

Shester frowned and looked surprised at the police officer's report.

"What do you mean? What is fake?"

"Ha! It means it's not a real uniform! I don't know what the purpose is, but it's something that was replicated by someone!

"Right...... ok. That would make no sense to inquire into the Army. Ask him to contact the Army immediately and inform them accordingly. Is that all you got?

"Ha! That's it!

"Uhm. Good luck. If you need anything else, please."

"Ha! Now if you'll excuse me!

The police officer made a loud footstep and left promptly.

"There's no one in the Army. I didn't know it was a fake uniform."

"Then... it's going to take more time to identify the victim, right?

"No, unless the killer or even (and) the victim made it himself, there must be a replicator somewhere. You just have to find him."

"Can you find it?

"We are not allowed to duplicate fake military uniforms. This means that it cannot be sold publicly. Then the reproducer must naturally have access to the backyard."

"... Back society..."

"Oh, thank you. Looks like we're moving in a dangerous direction. I'm sorry, but let's just say that's it. Actually, I thought this would be a good opportunity to quantify how much your brain is. As I know, I have been very helpful not only to your father, Deputy Secretary Lombard Schneider, but also to your grandfather, His Excellency Wolfgang Schneider. Which means the Schneider family owes a lot. So I want to weigh your ability to be the next head of the Schneider family. I asked you to cooperate in the investigation."

"... Was it"

"Yeah, but if the story might lead to the back society, it doesn't either. I'm sorry to hear that, but I want to make it this far. I hope you can help me understand. Because we can't let the next head of the great Schneider family meet too dangerous eyes. I'm sorry to intrigue you, but will you let me get this far?

"... ok. I'm not trying to get Mr. Shester in trouble... but I'm intrigued."

I'm sorry.

"No. Instead, when the case is solved, please tell me what's going on. Be as detailed as you can, huh?

"Oh, I promise."

"Well, shall we get out of here"

"Right."

They exited while carefully securing the scaffolding so as not to vandalize the scene.

"Now if you'll excuse me"

Gaius tried his best to greet him happily.

"Oh, I'll see you around"

Shester replied refreshingly, relieved by Gaius's smug smile.

Gaius then headed to the school building and Chester walked out for the back gate by the opposite gym.

Then Gaius looked back after a long walk.

And when he raised his mouth, he groaned softly.

"Who gets down here? Look at that. I'll find the killer first."
