His words held some sort of venom to them. Venom that was ripping through my heart. But I couldn't deny what he said.

"N-Nemo didn't mean to d-do it t-to be mean!" Hans stuttered

"He could be trying to steal our stuff!" Yakov replied

"Y-you're talking nonsense! N-Nemo is a g-good guy!" Hans stuck up for me

"Hans, this won't be the last time people around you disappoint you." Yakov looked me in the eyes, sadly

"Let's n-not have a g-grudge against N-Nemo. The c-culprit probably has no c-clues a-anymore." Hans responded

"Do you have any interesting thoughts Nemo?" Yakov asked

"Are those alchemy signs real?" I asked

"I don't remember, maybe it's someone else's." Yakov replied

"You promised to help! All you're doing is spilling lies which confuse everyone!" I felt like I should just give up with him

"Do you think I'm the killer?" He spun his revolvers on his fingers

"Not yet... But I need to know about these alchemy signs." I said

Is Yakov hiding something? Maybe that's why he wanted to help the investigation. To change my thoughts and judgement. Perhaps he was a witness to the murder, or helped.

"I'm not the traitor here." Yakov sounded sincere

"We're all traitors in your eyes! Of course you aren't." Ruf laughed

"I'm a victim." Yakov said but the revolvers made it seem otherwise

"N-Nemo wants t-to continue the i-investigation." Hans stuttered

"Yakov where did you get that sheet from?" I asked

"I really can't remember, maybe I wrote them down when I was trying to memorize them." He shrugged

"Once you said you wanted to create your own alchemy signs, this isn't it?" I asked further

"Those are just plans." He responded

"So this is a real sign?" I questioned

"Maybe, maybe not." He hesitated

"You had an expression like you wanted to say something else." I said

"As if I was going to say I killed a man?" He sighed

"Nobody knows alchemy like you do." I replied

"So? That doesn't mean I was at the crime scene. There's a lot of other people who are interested in alchemy." Yakov seemed annoyed

"So you're like most people?" I asked

"No, I'm one of a kind." He smirked

"Let's get back to the point you two." Helga said

"Is there a chair around here? My legs hurt from standing." Oliver looked around the room

"General Bernard Shultz was murdered, the motive was revenge. But revenge for what?" Yakov asked

"Revenge most likely because he was cruel." I responded

"How was he cruel?" He asked

"He wrote something about how to raise an ideal soldier." I explained

I gave the packet to Yakov. He opened it looking through the pages. Everyone surrounded him looking at it also.

"What's this? Where did I Omen get this?" Doris asked
