<strong>"That's what I was doing before I got summoned",</strong>he noted.<br/><strong>"Let me save you some work: there is a guy who had seen...something. Frankly, I don't know what he had seen, but he's a bouncer in <em>The Scarlet Lily,</em> over there",</strong>he pointed to a teahouse - which no doubt offered "bed and company" for the night as well, judging by the way the serving maids were inviting potential patrons - which was on a higher street due to the fact that the city wasn't entirely on the same elevation. Some houses were on the sides or tops of hills. This one was on the side of a hill which continued upwards...but the houses above it seemed to be warehouses and other boring places.<br/>Thus, anyone in there would have had a great vantage point to the place of the murder. Or at least the place where the body had been deposited.<br/><strong><br/>"I caught wind that Sery had changed his mood for the worse in the middle of the night, and I know that in this establishment, one bouncer has the task to sit near the door and periodically look out for potential clients. After I checked: it was him, that night. So, putting two and two together, I invited him to drink a tea together...and I was interrogating him when the court order arrived. Weird enough, he seeemed ready to let me break his hand instead of talking. So whatever he'd seen, he was more afraid of it than of being maimed, possibly for life",</strong>Yildar explained succintly.<strong><br/>"Now, I have little doubt that Sery is no longer waiting for me where I left him. But he ain't leaving Suvar, no way...if he does, he's as good as dead, given that he owes money to the wrong people. Is there anything else that you hope to gain from the place of the crime?"</strong>
