Lisa didn't expect that she just happened to see the name of Lavender Villa in the librarian's notes. Thinking that this was where Noelle worked, she came to take a look on a whim, and ended up discovering this kind of thing.

Noelle watched the butler slowly emerge from the door and then walk into the room, a little confused: "Ms. Lisa, why did you say that Mr. Kotani was selfish? And..." Then she looked at the butler, "Mr. Kotani, why are you hiding by the door?"

Renzo Kotani lowered his head, clenched his fists, trembled and said nothing.

"Well, let me tell you - because, Mr. Kotani knew the truth about his young lady's suicide from the beginning." Lisa put her arms across her chest, looked at Kotani Renzo and said with a smile.

"Really?" Noelle looked at the butler in disbelief, "Then why doesn't Mr. Jia Gu tell the truth?"

"Because I can't say it! In order to protect the lady's reputation, I can't tell you the truth about her suicide." Looking at Noel's angry and questioning eyes, Kotani Renzo finally couldn't bear it and spoke.

This matter has been weighing on Kotani Renzo's mind, and he has been tormented by guilt and regret for a while. Although he is still worried about the young lady's reputation being damaged, now that he knows that the matter can no longer be concealed, he can only speak out the truth.

"Then why didn't Mr. Kotani say anything when Miss Chanel was wrongly accused?" Noelle still didn't quite understand. The police officer had closed the case as suicide before, and it was nothing that Mr. Kotani didn't say anything in order to protect the lady's reputation, but why didn't she say anything when Miss Chanel was accused of murder later?

"I just, I just thought that the police would be able to clear her name after investigation. I, I didn't expect..." Kotani Renzo closed his eyes and lowered his head to avoid Noel's gaze.

"I didn't expect that the police didn't conduct a thorough investigation at all. I didn't expect that Miss Chana would commit suicide because she couldn't bear it! Right?" Lisa asked in a cold tone, continuing with what Kotani Renzo said.

"Why didn't you speak out and clear Chanel's name after she couldn't bear it anymore and committed suicide?" Noelle continued to ask sadly, "Ms. Chanel was still trying to prove that she didn't kill anyone before she committed suicide..."

Lisa didn't wait for Kotani Renzo to answer Noel's words, and spoke directly: "Because the person is already dead, there is no point in talking about it, right?"

She slowly walked to Kotani Lianzo, leaned close to his ear, and whispered: "Telling the truth will only clear the name of a dead maid, which will not only damage the reputation of our lady, but also make her feel bad. So what's the point of telling the truth? - Mr. Kotani, is that what you think?"

"No! Of course not, I didn't think so, I just, just..." Hearing Lisa's words, Kaguya Lianzo raised his head in shock. He turned his head sharply to look at Lisa, shook his head repeatedly, and explained anxiously that he didn't have such an idea. But in a hurry, his speech was intermittent and he couldn't make it clear.

"How could this happen?" Noelle said sadly and disappointedly, "Ms. Chanel must have been very scared during that time, afraid that others would not believe her, afraid that she would really be regarded as the murderer, that's why... I thought Mr. Kotani believed that Miss Chanel was not the murderer because he believed in Miss Chanel's character, but I didn't expect... Mr. Kotani knew the truth, why didn't he try to do something for Miss Chanel?"

"After Miss Chanel passed away, I very much regretted not telling the truth earlier. I also wanted to go to the Metropolitan Police Department several times to tell the truth and clear Miss Chanel's innocence, but every time I walked to the door of the Metropolitan Police Department, the painful image of Miss Chanel before her death would appear in my mind. When I thought about how Miss's reputation would be affected after I told it... I couldn't take a step forward. I'm sorry..." said Renzo Kotani guiltily.

"Okay, it's already happened, and no matter what you say, you can't change the fact that you didn't do anything. Tell me who was the detective who passed by here and overturned the case? I'm really curious about who that self-righteous detective is?" Lisa was not interested in listening to his sophistry. Anyway, he did indirectly cause the death of an innocent girl.

But although he was wrong, he only knew about it but did not report it. He did not take primary responsibility. It can be said that the detective was the main driving force behind this tragedy, and even those irresponsible policemen were more responsible than him.

"I don't know." Kaguya Lianzo sighed.

"Don't know? How could you not know?" Lisa didn't quite believe it - he was the one who overturned the case, so didn't he give his name when he came here to investigate?

"It is said that the high school detective was traveling in Shikoku at the time. He passed by here and heard about the case and wanted to take a look. I didn't think much about it and let him in. After all, the case happened half a year ago and there was nothing to investigate. I thought he would just take a look and leave, but I didn't expect him to suddenly say that he had solved the mystery of the young lady's murder in the locked room."

"He did not leave his name to the police and the media at the time. But when he first visited, his accent was a bit strange, and he always called himself a young man or something. I'm sorry, I don't know any other information."

"Strange accent, young man?" Lisa thought.

After this happened, Lisa was not going to let Noelle continue working at Lavender Villa, so she let her leave early.

Renzo Kotani didn't say much and silently terminated the work agreement.

Noelle said goodbye to Butler Kotani. "Mr. Kotani, I am very grateful for your care during this period. But I still hope that you can go to the Metropolitan Police Department and tell the truth to clear Ms. Chanel's name. At least don't let her die leaving others with the impression that she committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

"Yes, I will." Kotani Renzo looked a little tired, but he still tried his best to smile and agreed to Noel.

On the way back, Noelle was in a low mood, "Ms. Lisa, do you think Mr. Jia Gu will go back and tell the truth?"

"I think so. After all, there's no point in hiding it any longer, right?"

Lisa looked at Noelle who was walking with her head down beside her, stretched out her right hand and gently touched her head: "Okay, don't be sad, it's not over yet, Sister Lisa still has something to ask Noelle to help with."

"Hey! Miss Lisa, you can leave anything to me!" Noel perked up when he heard that someone needed his help.

“I want Noelle to help me find out who that high school detective with the strange voice is in her free time. I usually have to stay in the library, so I don’t have time to investigate.”

"Okay, leave it to me." Noelle agreed immediately, but... "Ms. Lisa, what are we going to do after we find him?"

“Noelle, I’m actually a little angry today. I want to teach that irresponsible high school detective a lesson.” Lisa emphasized the word “slightly”.

Noelle looked at the smile on Miss Lisa's face and felt a little cold for some reason.
