I was shocked as we entered the streets of Ironforge when Jiles started speaking to me about the case almost immediately. I was shocked because his habit was to mull over new information for quite some time before he would openly discuss his theories with me.

"I say, Smit. It is an interesting case to say the least!"

I shook my head in confusion, "I don't see how so, Whitman. The man is as guilty as sin if you ask me."

Whitman laughed wholeheartedly at my assessment, "Well then, good for Kelner you do not sit on the judgment seat."

"You believe that he did not burn his teacher to death?" I asked incredulously.

Again the same laugh, "Oh, of course he did Smit that much is obvious!"

"So the case is closed?"

"Oh far from it, my friend, far from it. That is what separates this case from most; the crime may not be a crime after all."

I had no clue in that moment what Whitman meant, so I let him chuckle and mumble to himself. I spoke again only to ask him where we were going. He responded that a cursory glance at the crime scene would be helpful to strengthen his theory, after that we would need to start preparing ourselves. It did not make sense to me, but then Jiles never did make sense at first glance.
