The person who wrote this "Recommendations for Beginner Investigators" is a very interesting guy.
After enumerating various mysterious incidents and their solution processes, he mainly provided suggestions for problem-solving ideas rather than standardized processes.
The author even criticized the content in "Basic Occult Knowledge".
Regarding this mysterious and widely circulated enlightenment book, his original words are as follows.
[I don’t know if there is anything wrong with Stat’s theory.]
[But judging from my intuition as a front-line worker for more than 30 years, he should be wrong.]
[When I was a child, there were still people who believed that bloodletting could cure all diseases in the world, not to mention that Stat was an antique from a thousand years ago.]
[So I suggest the investigator not to believe him.]
Just by reading this "Recommendations for Beginner Investigators", Ronald could understand this guy's character to a certain extent.
As I read carefully, the afternoon passed quickly.
During this period, Ronald also saw several times that the Springs investigator came down from the second floor and then returned to the second floor to do business.
Generally speaking, there may be a dispute over language or attitude.
But the investigators from Springs didn't really do anything extraordinary.
On the first day we arrived in Burrenwich, the investigators from the headquarters showed their professionalism.
They didn't rush out in a hurry and simply went directly to find those damn mysterious incidents to deal with. Instead, they planned to spend half a day studying relevant matters at the Investigation Bureau before actually starting to take action.
Honestly...
This kind of strategy and action method of planning before taking action is indeed what a normal investigator should look like.

"Yo uh huh"
It was still approaching evening time.
Nicole pushed open the door of the Investigation Bureau headquarters, with a happy expression and humming a tune, and walked towards Ronald.
"Good evening, Ronald!"
After getting closer, the expression on Nicole's face changed to one of apology, and the tone of her tone also dropped.
Putting her hands together, the investigator girl bent down to Ronald:
"Sorry, I accidentally broke your umbrella today."
"This was really not intentional!"
"Let me tell you, I was supposed to deal with a mysterious incident today."
"When we arrived at the place, a madman who was very good at beating suddenly appeared. I didn't have anything prepared at that time, so I could only use your umbrella to hit it. It would be broken immediately."
"You can understand that, right?"
"..."
Ronald was thinking about how to answer, but Nicole's angry expression just now solidified instantly.
"How is this going?"
The investigator girl's footsteps paused, and then she squatted on the ground and carefully looked at the ground for a few seconds before asking:
"Is anyone coming to our place today?"
"Not a local yet?"
How does this guy know?
Ronald stretched out half of his body on the front desk and looked at Nicole intently.
"..."
sharp--
He admired the investigator girl's carefulness in his heart.
With this keen observation ability, he is worthy of being an elite investigator praised by Ms. Mapel herself!
Just on the ground.
A few shallow footprints, hard to spot without paying attention, were left on the floor tiles in front of the counter.
It snowed lightly this morning.
The Springs investigators came to Burrenwich, stepped on snowflakes all the way off the train, and finally came to the Bureau of Investigation.
The warm air in the investigation bureau hall evaporated the mud beneath their feet, leaving traces of shoe prints on the floor.
There are only a few people here in the headquarters, so no one comes specifically to clean the place.
These shoe prints remained from noon to evening.
Ronald, who was reading behind the front desk, didn't even notice it, but Nicole had just come back and noticed these things at first sight, and directly recognized that these footprints did not belong to anyone in their investigation bureau.
This girl is usually very out-of-the-box, but she is indeed a professional.
At the same time, Nicole stood up from the ground and explained with a low expression:
"Our own people in the bureau will not stand with these five people at the front desk."
"Where did these guys come from?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"A little after noon today, five investigators from the Springs General Administration came to provide help to us and also installed a thing called a radio."
Speaking of this, Ronald pointed to the top of his head.
"Now, Miss Mapel will be receiving them up there."
"well--?"
Nicole's awkward voice had a long tone, and her face was as distorted as if she had eaten expired fruit.
Then, she carefully guessed:
"Not one of the people you mentioned..."
"Ms. Mapel calls him Spencer."
Without Nicole continuing to remind her of the physical characteristics of the person in her mind, Ronald interrupted her directly and told the investigator the name of the person.
Sure enough, she was just like Ms. Mapel who looked bad at noon.
Nicole's face also darkened instantly.
"Is there something wrong with the people at the headquarters?"
"Actually... you actually sent that guy to Burrenwich?"
Seeing Nicole's furious look, Ronald asked curiously:
"What's wrong with that guy?"
"If there's nothing wrong with him, he's just a psychopath!"
Nicole had no intention of hiding anything from Ronald, and started to explain in a very bad tone:
"That guy Spencer was actually a criminal with a criminal record before he was recruited."
"But because the place where he committed the crime was Entrod, which was in the middle of a war, and he also stole a very powerful treasure and presented it to him, so he was relaxed here and was finally accepted into the investigation bureau."
"Born in a war-torn place like that, although this guy hasn't committed any crimes recently, his behavior and the way he handles problems are totally wrong!"
"well--"
Speaking of this, Nicole let out a long sigh.
"Ronald, please help me hold on for a few minutes."
"I'll go up and ask around, and then we'll change shifts."
Ronald nodded:
"no problem."
When Nicole went to inquire about the time, he naturally wouldn't mind helping out for a while.
Watching the investigator girl sneak up to the second floor.
Ronald leaned against the counter and began to think about what had happened today.
The people sent by the Investigation Bureau headquarters were actually from Entrod...
To be honest, he was a little curious.
Judging from various sources around us, Entrod is a thoroughly military-administered country.
In such a world, countries with mysterious powers and military policies.
What kind of social structure will develop?
Ronald's divergent thinking did not last long, and Nicole quickly ran downstairs with a bang.
But it looks different from before.
The look in her eyes now has a strong sense of bad humor and a hint of expectation.
Holding Ronald's shoulders with both hands, Nicole invited in a rather excited tone:
"Ronald, would you like to complete some investigator work?"
