As the bickering continued, unbeknownst to them the Knight Captain of the Leaf himself went downstairs to see what the commotion was about. As he emerged he saw one familiar face, and another, a Zora. The guards at the door were quite perplexed as to what to do but so far seem to have decided to refuse entry. The dashingly cut blonde haired blue eyed knight struck a clean visage in this dark corner of the residential area.

[color=00a651]"Rin, and someone I did not ask for, you don't look suited up like a knight... Begone, this is no place for a civilian. You Rin, come inside and I'll brief you. Seems your partner hasn't shown up yet, but I'm running on a clock, so you'll have to brief him yourself"[/color], he stated. He was quite to the business it seemed, regardless of what retorts Rin attempted, he was simply given a strong glare before following Linwood in.

[color=00a651]"I also heard some of the things said. Guards keep an eye on the young lady until our business here is concluded"[/color], there should also be some Fountain members coming by later to retrieve the body for further inspection too. That aside, while walking up the stairs, Rin was briefed on the case, although also greeted to a sickening stench, but it didn't smell like a rotting corpse.

[color=00a651]"You and your partner had gotten a dossier on the entire case so I hope I don't have to explain anything other than this new murder here"[/color], it was as grisly as the reports for the previous incidents. The reports were rather visceral and came with pictures, but seeing it all in the flesh was another thing. The reports would also share that the patterns and methods matched some dark magic rituals. The Lantern Knights had actually upped their measures ever since this was found, but all they've found was that these murders were related to the Cult of Ganon that had begun their activity a year ago. Sheikah Ninja networks, which Rin was keenly aware of, had picked up Yiga activity surrounding these too.

[color=00a651]"Same as always, we checked the listings for this house, seems someone had bought this house a few weeks ago but it was never filled with anything other than essentials, so this place had been used as a hideout for awhile. No strange construction, so there's no lead here, however a lot of things here are still fresh. I've already investigated for some leads you and your partner can follow, as I've been following this case too, but today I'm afraid I cannot follow up on them, so I'm branching out the investigations to you and Vesper"[/color], he explained.

[color=00a651]"I'll quickly go through the leads. First there were some rags found on the first floor, still a little damp, meaning they were used not too long ago, they stunk up the whole room as you may have noticed on the way up, so they were likely worn by someone who swam through the sewer system. We found a bunch of tools too, and I managed to narrow it down to a very specific blacksmith who lives in a cottage in Ordon. The tools also look used, and are mainly used for dissection, the Fountain Knights confirmed this with me. No food was found, no other utensils, nothing, the only thing is the bed over there which the landlord tells me is complimentary. Nothing was strange about the bed other than it had signs of usage"[/color], and that should be it.

[color=00a651]"If there are any further questions you can ask the Fountain Knights for help, I've already notified them someone new is taking on the case as of today so they should be rather cooperative. You'll also have to tell Vesper all of this once you see him. Knowing him he's probably nervously taking another swig down in the tavern. He's wanted in on this case for awhile, so it does surprise he isn't here now, or maybe he has his own lead, who knows. I've always trained Leaf Knights to be proactive, so with luck perhaps he has. Anyways, I must be going. Good luck on your investigation"[/color], with that done and over with, he headed back out. Now it was up to Rin, what to do? Also, that Zora outside seemed to be interested somehow... There was nothing said against getting additional help, although it was an official matter, so it could cause some problems in certain circumstances. In any case, with Vesper not here, it was pretty much up to Rin for the time being.
