No, that seemed even less likely. Charledris probably thought Lina had almost forgotten about her existence. She spent most of her time in her room on the third floor and rarely went anywhere unless Lina invited her. For her to have overheard Lina's private conversations and passed the information along without attracting suspicion, she would have needed to be extraordinarily resourceful. She might as well have been a time traveler carrying a listening device.
After considering everyone she could think of, Lina still couldn't identify the culprit. For some reason, she had a strong feeling that the person hiding nearby was a man, although she had no evidence to support that suspicion. Nor could she be certain that the person who had killed Pierre was the same individual who had been secretly monitoring her. The two might be connected, but she couldn't afford to treat that possibility as an established fact.
