Top-Notch Collaborator

After making his decision, Lumian had a chance to inquire, "Who's the suspect?"

"Lato Guiaro," the Knight of Swords announced.

Lumian recognized this individual. He was also a committee member of the Fisheries Guild.

Someone in his family had already married a Maiden of the Sea over a hundred years ago.

Lumian asked thoughtfully, "What's Lato Guiaro's connection to Balançat Ship Rental?"

"He's a creditor of the company and has arranged employment for many relatives there," the Knight of Swords replied succinctly.

"It all adds up." Lumian nodded in agreement and paused to reflect. "Let's convene at the crossroads of Saint Lana Street and Golden Wheat Street. How about meeting in three minutes?"
