Who wanted James dead?
Many.
Although others were uncertain, Malz knew that he wanted James dead.
So did his partner.
As the old sheriff tore off the napkin from his collar, his eyes met those of his partner, who had already begun to wipe the grease and sauce off his palms.
They exchanged a smile and a look of understanding—
If they had chosen to disappear, then they might as well disappear completely!
About three minutes later, the Shire District Police Station's carriage left the small square and headed straight for Moon Street.
Although James was the police chief of Dort District, Moon Street was in Shire District.
When something happened on Moon Street, naturally, the Shire District Police Station had jurisdiction.
Unlike other middle-class districts, Moon Street didn't rank high in the list of favored properties in Shire District. In fact, it could be said to be at the bottom of the list.
It wasn't that Moon Street was bad.
