The flow of people is increasing, and the busiest time here is between nine and twelve o'clock in the evening. Eliric got off the limo at about eleven o'clock and entered the pub opposite. Various drinks and perfumes
The smell was mixed, and the air seemed dull to him. After ordering a glass of wine, Eliric sat in a position with a slightly wider view, quietly observing everything around him.
What method will be used to attract the attention of the prey, or why is Rosa so sure that she can obtain evidence? Eliric has been thinking about it since he came out of the special operations agency. Or maybe he is too impatient, and tonight is just the beginning of the operation.
Will it be some time before Rosa drops the net on the person she thinks is the murderer?
The drink has no taste when it enters the throat, and the noise around him disappears little by little over time. When the music gradually overpowers other sounds, Eliric stood up and went to the counter to pay, and walked out of the tavern step by step. The team members also followed one after another.
They continued to come out to meet up, but they didn't bring any good news.
"It's like disappearing out of thin air. Even though they can disguise themselves, several of them have been with us for several years, so it's not difficult to identify them with a little bit of identification." The team members said, all of them still smelling of alcohol.
"It's better to patrol the surrounding area carefully. Don't go back tonight. Let's consider rest tomorrow." Eliric looked at the time, then looked at the high-end taverns lined up under the black clouds without being affected at all.
say.
As the sky dawned, Eliric was already on his way back to the office of the special operations agency. He let the team members go back to rest first, and he waited until noon. No one connected to the communicator from the beginning, and it is still the same now. Confirm that it is within the range of Manoma,
Especially since nothing special happened in the tavern, Eliric left with a heavy heart.
After arriving at the rented house, he immediately lay down on the bed. Unable to sleep, Eliric looked at the ceiling and thought for two or three hours, carefully going over all the details that he could notice before reluctantly closing his eyes.
.
Until he was awakened by the piercing buzzer, Eliric almost ejected from the bed. He stood beside the bed and hit his eyes hard several times. The clock on the wall pointed to nine o'clock, and the closed curtains were revealing a faint light.
"Sleep by yourself for the night?" Eliric rubbed his temples, thinking that he had been too tired recently. He picked up the communicator, and at the moment of contact, a strange feeling spread to his body through the touch of his hand and the sound, and he slowly exhaled,
He pressed the connect button. He was the dispatcher in his office, and he coordinated and arranged all the work on weekdays. His voice was dry, as if he hadn't drank water for a long time to moisten his throat: "Captain Eliric, there's Captain Rosa.
Got the news, I hope you can come over as soon as possible."
When Eliric arrived at the office, several superiors were already waiting there. Accompanying him were several other captains at the same level as him. The top manager here just said "Follow me" and walked straight to the office building.
No one spoke at the back, and Eliric kept his mouth shut and walked at the end. He guessed the result. Behind the office building are a weapons depot and a garage, as well as a separate small building used to store a variety of information. In addition,
, the basement there is used as a cold storage, used to store the corpses of unknown surgeons who are checked back during daily operations.
He looked at the top few superiors, and suddenly there was an overflowing feeling of disgust in his heart, originating from the deepest part of his body. It was also mixed with unwillingness, not for himself, but simply for Rosa's actions, which were not worth it.
. He regretted not stopping Rosa directly when she was talking about this matter. But at that time, Eliric did not notice Rosa's determination, or in other words, in his opinion, as the captain of the same team,
Rosa is also very clear about the helplessness and constraints at the bottom of the special operations agency.
The result turned out to be what he least wanted to see. Three new corpses were brought into the cold storage room. There was no Rosa. They were all his men. They had already lost their warmth. Eliric could imagine that there would be more corpses here soon.
A corpse bag. When you unzip it, you can see Rosa's face, which was white and blue from the cold. Or, the body will never be found and disappears all over Manoma.
"There was a communication from Rosa's residence in the morning. It was a man's voice, asking us to move some things back." A superior said, "So we moved these things back. We are still investigating the specific reasons, and it cannot end here.
This is a provocation to our special operations agency. The commander in charge of our area at the headquarters has been notified, and the next actions will be,,,"
"His subordinates will be solely responsible for it. Don't get involved in this matter. I will inform you as soon as there are results..." Eliric said the next words silently in his heart. He had heard them so many times that they became like an assembly line.
.
"At noon, a team specially set up for this purpose will come over and collect basic information for us. Captain Rosa's recent abnormality, is there any hint in her words, and who has she had close contact with? I hope that before noon,
Everyone thinks about it carefully, this may provide key clues to help the team find out the cause of Captain Rosa's death."
He was stopped on the way back, and Eliric knew that there would be such a process. After all, there was a record the day before yesterday that showed that he was concerned about Captain Rosa's whereabouts.
"Eliric, we want to know the detailed direction of the matter. Rosa, like you, is a very good captain here. In addition to regretting her death, we also have to deal with her unfinished business.
End. After all, it was an action that cost her her life,,,"
The prisoner-like questioning continued from morning to night, and everything he knew was revealed. Elric knew that otherwise, he probably wouldn't be able to leave the room. When he left the office of the special operations agency, it was already around three in the morning. He returned to the office.
, Eliric learned from his colleagues on the evening shift that his team members were also being called back one after another, but the questioning time was not long.
"Thank you." Eliric took his coat and drove back, but changed the route in the middle and went to Rosa's residence. He saw the light in the room from a distance, and Eliric turned the steering wheel and smiled.
, “It becomes increasingly unclear who is the culprit and the murderer.”
He was given a long vacation in the next few days, and he didn't have to work for a week or two. The rare rest time did not make Eliric happy. He kept himself in the room, with Rosa's words echoing in his head - just watching
I'm just not used to it, I feel like I have to do something.
"If I had gone with him, would the outcome have been better?" Eliric asked himself. He walked to the window and looked at the brightly lit Manoma Center outside. He already had the answer in his heart, "At least he will die.
There is no need to hold on to this pitiful sense of responsibility and justice." But he knew that even if he was dying, he would still live. Not only because there would be no future after death, but he felt that people like him should have some.
, maybe it won’t have much effect, but it can still make some people feel nauseous.
,,,,,,
"Master, the matter has been dealt with. All relevant information has been burned and there will be no further follow-up."
"We can't just relax. If we keep tracking for a while, if we confirm that there are no copies of the information, the most suspicious people will disappear." (To be continued)
