Chapter 55: You Are Under Arrest
For half a month after Caron Eso went missing, Leon went to work at the Inquisition as usual, while closely monitoring internal developments.
During the first two days, Caron’s disappearance did not bring any major changes to the Inquisition.
Those who should work continued working, those who should slack off continued slacking off, and both debt collection tasks and already-established cases proceeded steadily as usual.
This was not surprising.
Caron did not personally handle many matters within the office on a regular basis.
There were even times when he went out for social engagements and did not appear at the Inquisition at all.
On the second day, Leon even seized an opportunity and, using a key, opened Caron’s office alone to conduct a search, confirming that Caron had not left behind any evidence within the office that might point to him.
However, by the third day, when people who wanted to report on their work were unable to find the deputy director, they finally sensed that something was wrong.
It was also at this time that the butler Caron Eso had hired for his residence in Hamel Town came to the Inquisition and reported that Caron had not returned home for three days, hoping to confirm whether he was working at the office.
