The place where Sean handles government affairs is the administrative hall, and the place where Anduin handles cases is in the square in the center of the town.

Because there was a lot of copy to write, Sean didn't leave the administrative hall all morning.

At 10:30 in the morning, Sean finally finished handling all the government affairs, stretched out and walked out of the administrative hall, preparing to return to the castle to rest.

But as soon as he walked out of the administrative hall, Sean saw Anduin being surrounded by the townspeople on three levels inside and three outside in the central square of the town.

Of course, from Sean's position, he couldn't see Anduin in the middle of the crowd.

But now the light element has expanded to a huge size, already as tall as an adult elephant. Seeing the light element from a distance, Sean knew that Anduin was among the crowd.

.......

Now is the slack season for farming, and the townspeople are relatively free, so they gather around Anduin to watch Anduin try various cases.

It feels like watching a circus performance!

Sean's curiosity aroused and he walked towards Anduin, wanting to see how Anduin solved the case.

Seeing the lord approaching, the residents along the way saluted Sean and respectfully moved out of the way, allowing Sean to reach Anduin smoothly.

At this time, Anduin was sitting comfortably on a stool, and the light element used its huge body as a backrest for Anduin.

Moreover, Anduin was surrounded by more than a dozen "female fans" who constantly handed Anduin seasonal fruits such as strawberries.

Sean roughly counted, there were 17 female fans in total.

Compared with the previous group of fans, 3 have quit and 4 new ones have joined, so the number of Anduin's fans has not decreased but has increased.

Seeing this scene, Sean couldn't help but feel jealous. "Cement Builder" Kyle was now going to make cement. Dalia Blade Song followed Lao Zhuqing to eliminate the spies sent by the Black Hand Brotherhood. There was no female creature around him except Vivian.

.

...

Seeing Sean coming, Anduin hurriedly explained to Sean:

"Sir, actually I don't want them here either. But Penny and Phoebe Splash said that if they were allowed to stay here, they would donate all the costs of rebuilding the chapel to the territory, so..."

"It's okay, I'm not such a narrow-minded person." When he heard that there was additional income, Sean suddenly became much kinder:

"Phoebe Splash? Is she from Timmy Splash's family?"

Timmy Splash was the chubby baron that Sean met the day before yesterday who wanted to contract lunch for the workers. After Sean asked him to see Anduin, he never paid attention to him again.

"That's right!" Anduin nodded, "Phoebe is the daughter of Splash Baron."

At the same time, Anduin also whispered to Sean: "I tested it the day before yesterday and there was nothing wrong with Splash Baron, so I outsourced the workers' lunch to him."

"Okay then, you can continue to solve the case." Sean waved his hand and said.

In Sean's impression, the Splash Baron was quite down-and-out, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Riverside Town to look for opportunities in a humble voice.

He didn't expect that his daughter would start spending money "chasing stars" after just two days here, and she didn't know what Splash Baron would think when he found out.

...

But this was someone else's family matter after all, so Sean didn't say anything and started to stop and watch Anduin try the case.

You don’t know it by looking at it, but after watching it carefully for a while, Sean found that Anduin has a very "bad taste".

Anduin did not directly use [Thought Stealing] to quickly solve the case at the beginning, but let the plaintiff and defendant tell their stories first. Whether it was land disputes, jealousies, fights, and troubles, Anduin listened patiently to them.

When the accuser and defendant had almost finished what they said, Anduin remotely used [Thought Stealing] to figure out the truth of the matter, and then analyzed the flaws in the speaker's words based on the truth, thus officially solving the case.

The most "evil" thing about Anduin is that he first knew the truth of the matter, and then deduced the course of the case based on the truth. The words of a liar are naturally full of loopholes.

So Anduin can silence liars every time, and the detection rate is as high as 100%!

The real detective Anduin.

The residents who were watching were naturally shocked by Anduin's miraculous level of solving crimes. Various words of praise surrounded Anduin without stopping.

Baron Splash's daughter also recorded Anduin's "case-solving process" in detail, planning to write a book in the future.

...

After watching it for a while, Sean thought it was quite interesting, at least more interesting than watching the circus.

So Sean stayed, eating strawberries sent by Anduin's female fans, while continuing to watch Anduin solve the case.

About half an hour later, Sean saw Windsor walking in through the crowd.

At this time, a case that Anduin was hearing had just reached the ridiculous part: a town citizen was kneeling on the ground, crying and howling, holding a knife to his neck, threatening that if Anduin didn't give him a fair verdict.

He is about to commit suicide.

But this town citizen's acting skills were really poor. Even Sean could tell that he didn't really want to commit suicide without Anduin casting a spell, but was threatening others with suicide.

So Sean and Anduin didn't take it seriously and continued to watch his performance while eating strawberries.

Seeing Windsor walking in, Sean stood up and looked at Windsor:

"Wendsor, is something wrong?"

Windsor nodded: "Sir, Anduin, there is something important now..."

Just as Windsor was speaking, the town citizen who threatened to commit suicide hugged Windsor's thigh and howled:

"Lord Windsor, you have to make the decision for me! Otherwise...I will commit suicide now."

The townsman once again put the knife to his neck.

Windsor was not in the mood to tell him this, so he took off his silver-grade long sword:

"Use mine. My knife is sharper and will make you less painful when you commit suicide."

The town citizen: "..."

Hearing Windsor's words, the other surrounding townspeople burst into laughter, and even Sean and Anduin smiled.

"Wendsor, leave him alone. Let's get down to business!" Sean waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Sir, according to the news from the guards, the large army led by Butler Henry is about to arrive at Thorn Ridge! Not only that, the River Family's carriage transporting 35,000 gold coins is also about to arrive!" Windsor replied loudly.

After Windsor finished speaking, there was a moment of silence among the laughing residents around him.

How much? Thirty-five thousand gold coins?!

The townspeople usually spend copper coins and silver coins, and have no idea about two-digit gold coins, let alone four-digit gold coins.

Thinking about the scene of mountains of gold coins, many townspeople were so shocked that they almost fainted.

Sean looked up at the position of the sun and said:
Chapter completed!
