There hasn’t been any breakthrough in the murder case for two days now. Everyone in Dragonsreach is becoming uneasy that even Irileth can’t make progress.
All Irileth knows right now is what Darien and I told her (even if what we said were inconsistent) and what she deducted from examining the body. During our conversation a few days ago, I described to her the old man I saw that evening, the one in red and black robes. We all know the old man is the culprit, but catching him is another thing. Today, we even checked in with Bjorlam, the carriage driver outside the walls, hoping to find out if our murderer took the carriage to escape. Bjorlam stated that he saw a suspicious man leaving the city that night. The old man was heading southwest. Irileth went to consult the Jarl afterwards. Regrettably, southwest of Whiterun is insufficient a lead to devote manpower to.
On the other hand, the two guards who discovered the body is a sufficient lead. Irileth knows that one of us saw the killer that night. She also knows that the killer left using the main gate, which was my post for that evening.
Divines help me. How will I face Dora and Fiona if the truth finally surface? What do I tell Dora and Fiona if I am discharged from the force?
