The Riverside District is an area where a large number of students live.
In such a place with frequent movement of people, it is always very easy to find stores to buy daily necessities.
In the evening, Ronald returned to the apartment on the river bank with a bunch of messy things, big and small.
Then after walking into the courtyard, he keenly realized that something seemed wrong.
The door to Cynthia's room on the first floor opened inward, and there were residents on the second floor standing at the door, looking cautiously toward the third floor.
Even the maid who was extremely enthusiastic about him was now holding a broom and looking nervously at the third floor, forgetting to even carry out her own work.
this……
If I remember correctly, I am the only tenant on the third floor now.
I've only been out for a few hours to buy some things, so I'm not going to get into any trouble again, right?
Feeling a little helpless, Ronald gently snapped his fingers with his right hand holding a set of sheets, and then walked down the stairs to the third floor.
Judging from the looks of the other residents, at least this won't be an excessive terrorist attack.
But it's better to be careful.
Walking along the stairs to the third floor, Ronald saw that the door he had locked when he went out had been opened.
Fortunately, there was no bloody smell coming from the open door.
But it has a faint scent of tea.
Feeling relieved, Ronald squeezed into the room with a lot of things in his hand.
On the balcony with its back to the sunset, there were two people sitting there with chairs.
One of them nervously held the tea cup in his hand and looked at the man in front of him without moving his eyes for a second.
——This is the landlord Cynthia.
Opposite the girl was a man wearing a neat uniform.
His eyes did not pay attention to the nervous Cynthia in front of him, but instead looked at the flowers and plants on the balcony.
——This is Spencer.
Elite investigators from Springs.
It turns out to be this guy...
Just seeing the scene in front of him, Ronald already understood most of it.
After collecting the information, the Bureau of Investigation sent people to contact him, the original code holder.
Even considering Ronald's mood, the Bureau of Investigation asked Spencer, who had met Ronald once, to come to the door in person.
At this moment, Spencer noticed the movement at the door and turned around.
The next second he saw Ronald's figure, he immediately stood up from his chair and walked towards Ronald, the warm smile on his face showing no pretense at all.
"Ah, Ronald, are you back?"
"I heard you were coming to Springs, so I rushed over right away after get off work today."
"You don't think my arrival is a little abrupt, do you?"
"Of course not." Seeing Spencer's reaction, Ronald also put on the smile that an old friend should have when they meet again. Putting down the things in his hands, he immediately walked towards Spencer, "Can you specifically
Come and see me, I’m not happy enough, how can I dislike it!”
"..."
On the other side, Ronald and Spencer were seen chatting friendly.
Cynthia, who was sitting on the balcony, had a trace of happiness in her eyes.
But the young landlord didn't want to stay here at all, so he immediately stood up and whispered:
"Mr...Ronald."
"Since it's your friend here, you two should have a good chat."
"I have something to do here, so I'll go down first?"
Hearing the landlady's voice, Spencer immediately waved to her:
"Miss Landlady, I was the one who disturbed you before."
"Ronald and I will chat slowly next, and you can go and do your own thing."
As soon as Spencer's words came out, Cynthia walked towards the door like a student after class without looking back. Even after leaving the room, she carefully closed the door for Ronald and the others.
"..."
Watching Cynthia's leaving figure.
Ronald was silent for a few seconds, then walked to the balcony and sat on a chair.
"Spencer, what did you plan to ask when you came to my place today?"
After all, we have experienced a battle with a cult warlock together, and we also understand that the Ronald in front of us is a holder of the original code.
Knowing the gap between the two, Spencer replied simply:
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
"The responsibility of the Investigation Bureau is to conduct detailed inquiries on the more powerful practitioners."
As he spoke, Spencer also sat back in his chair.
He knew in his heart that Ronald had also worked in the Bureau of Investigation, so he did not intend to hide anything. He read out the 'lie detector' mantra openly and then asked:
"Ronald, first tell me the purpose of coming to Burrenwich."
Ronald nodded slightly and replied equally generously:
"I don't have any intention of harming society when I come here. My main purpose is to find the missing Lumil. She may have something important about the spell in my hand."
After hearing Ronald's answer, Spencer nodded noncommittally.
As an elite investigator of the Bureau of Investigation, he certainly knew part of the relevant content of this matter, and the 'lie detector' also told him that Ronald in front of him was not lying.
It seems that today's work is also very easy.
With a satisfied smile on his lips, Spencer continued to ask:
"If that's the case, I won't ask any more questions about the purpose of entering the city."
"But according to the procedure, let's talk about your whereabouts last night."
"The landlady told me that you didn't go out all night last night. It shouldn't be anything special, right?"
Facing Spencer's question, Ronald was stunned.
As the landlord, Cynthia naturally had the opportunity to know that she did not see her last night.
I just didn’t expect the landlady to actually tell Spencer about it!
Things may get a little troublesome now.
"..."
On the other side, I saw that Ronald did not answer him directly.
Spencer, with a smile on his face, seemed to have noticed something.
Slowly withdrawing his smile, the elite investigator from Springs moved back a little without leaving a trace, and then put his hands on his side.
Keeping this action, Spencer continued to speak:
"Ronald, is there anything bad to say about this?"
"..."
Not only is it hard to say...
I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I tell you!
I spent the whole night with Claudia last night, and even ran away with an original code holder!
Of course, if you think this way in your heart, you can't say it like this.
Still maintaining his calmness on his face, Ronald sat on the balcony and slowly moved his gaze.
While looking at the Vis River outside, he said in a complicated tone:
"Spencer, after all, we are friends who have fought together, so I don't intend to lie to you about this matter."
Hearing Ronald's tone, Spencer nodded slightly:
"so……?"
With a complicated expression on his face, Ronald replied earnestly:
"It's not convenient for me to say anything else."
"But last night, I was with a lady named Claudia."
Upon hearing this name, Spencer murmured in confusion:
"Claude..."
"Claudia!"
His eyes changed instantly. The elite investigator stood up from his chair and asked in a distorted voice:
