The strong young man opened his eyes in a daze, his memory still a little confused.

"Well, here is..."

"Lloyd, he seems to be awake."

Valudovarez looked in the direction of the young-sounding girl's voice and saw a trio of people he didn't recognize.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, seeing his subordinates and attackers tied into a string with hemp ropes.

"We are the Special Agent Support Section of the Crossbell Police Department. I am Investigator Lloyd Bannings. You lost a lot of blood after being shot just now. Are you okay now?"

After showing his ID investigation manual, Lloyd asked with some concern.

"Been shot? Me!? Haha, are you kidding? I'm not standing here properly..."

Noticing the holes on his chest and the obviously newly healed scars, his face darkened.

"Hey, can you explain to me what's going on?"

Although Lloyd wanted to give a positive response, he had no intention of just passing by and fooling people.

"It's a pity that I didn't understand the situation when I arrived."

He pointed at the people wearing colorful clothes.

"The people wearing red and black clothes like you must be members of the Sword Snake Gang, right? There are a total of thirteen people here. They are just sleeping under the guidance magic and are not serious. On the other side, those wearing colorful clothes

There are nearly eighty people in total, do you know them?"

"Why should I know these guys?"

Although his attitude was not very good, Varudo still walked over and looked at their faces one by one.

"Most of them look familiar. Oh, I have a slight impression. Isn't this the leader of the small gang that I killed before? Well, so does this one, and so does this one over there. Haha, this is really a meeting of enemies. We come together to seek revenge.

They want to defeat me with their numerical superiority. They have a good idea."

Varudo began to tell the story of how he had gradually emerged as the leader of the Sword Snake Gang in the old city over the past few years. To put it simply, it was to fight and conquer all those who dissatisfied.

Tio, who was behind Lloyd, quietly walked up to Ellie and whispered, "Such a reckless person is actually the gang boss in the old city? How did he survive until now and hasn't been killed yet."

"Probably because he is lucky." Ellie replied, "Let's not interfere. Let's teach Lloyd how to deal with it before Randy comes back."

On the other side, Lloyd also used Varudo's words.

"Because I was taught a lesson by Mr. Varudo before, I felt unhappy and came in groups to make trouble. Mr. Varudo, you think so, right?"

"What, what's the problem?"

Lloyd pointed to the rip in the chest of his clothes.

"The city of Crossbell has a gun control ordinance, and I don't think the average gang member can get a gun permit."

After listening to Lloyd's reasoning, Varudo slapped his thigh and laughed.

"Hahaha, I thought you were going to talk eloquently. Hey, brother, have you mistaken what kind of place this is? This is the lawless old city! It's just buying a guided gun, what a big deal. But here is

There is a store opened by the largest arms dealer in Crossbell. As long as you have Mira, nothing is impossible."

"Then you are mistaken. Even the boss lady will not easily sell arms to laymen like you."

Just as Varudo was laughing wildly, another man's voice interrupted him.

Led by Lloyd, including Ellie and Tio, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the coming voice.

"Randy! Hey, the person you are carrying is..."

Noticing that Randolph was carrying a woman on his back, Lloyd cast a suspicious look.

"The trouble I picked up on the road. Although it probably has nothing to do with your matter, I still have to take it back to the station together. Oh, by the way, the section chief and the police officers from the Search Section 1 all drove here.

We probably have nothing to do here."

As soon as Randolph finished speaking, the harsh noise of tires on the ground rubbing against the granite slabs reached everyone's ears.

In addition to Sergei, the boss of the Support Section, several senior investigators from the First Investigation Section also rushed into the small theater Will-o'-the-Wisp.

"Have you got the situation under control? Investigator Bennings, you have done a good job. Let us leave the subsequent questioning to our search lesson." A dark green-haired police officer in a suit and tie took the lead and came to Lloyd and Watt.

Between Ludo.

"Hey, wait a minute, Mr. Dudley! We haven't found any clues yet."

"No, Lloyd, listen to him. Our Special Agent Support Section is closing down the team."

"Professor!"

Both Lloyd and Ellie beside him cast puzzled glances at Sergey.

"This is my judgment, Randolph aside, this matter is beyond your capabilities."

Seeing the policemen chatting away, Varudo couldn't hold himself any longer.

"You guys, don't ignore me. My people were beaten. This is my business and has nothing to do with you police."

Varudo angrily wanted to push Dudley away with his wave, but his wrist was held halfway by the senior investigator. After a side pressure, half of Varudo's body was rolled up and flipped to the ground.

"Young people have good strength and drive. There is no future as a gangster. Why don't you try going to the police academy?"

"roll!"

Standing up and rubbing his shoulders, Varudo looked at Dudley with fear.

"Wow, you're not mediocre." Randolph whistled when he saw this scene.

"The people here are all the ace commissioners of the First Investigation Division. They have always been responsible for the aftermath of matters involving external forces. Okay, let's go. Let's first send the Republic agent that Randolph secured to the police.

Go to the bureau."

After Sergei finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Ellie's pupils shrank when she heard a certain keyword. "Professor, you said she is..."

"I see... No wonder Xiong has such an attitude." Randolph also reacted, "But then again, why do you know her identity, Section Chief?"

"The Republic traveler who disappeared in the central square last week. I have seen her information, so I recognized her face when I saw it. As for why I concluded that she is an agent... you will know it after you see her enough."

Sergey said casually.

"What kind of reason is this? I just use experience to vaguely go over it, and it always seems very perfunctory. Isn't there a more reliable way to judge?"

"Sorry, that's the situation. In fact, since she was subdued by you, you have some guesses, right? It's just that you don't know which side this person belongs to."

"Well..." Randolph was choked by the rhetorical question. It is indeed unrealistic to say that there is no suspicion.

The conversation between the two lasted only for a while. After getting in the car, the group immediately ran to the police station.

In Sergey's car, Lloyd, Ellie, and Tio were each thinking, and among them, Lloyd slowly came back to his senses.

"Wait a minute, section chief. The person who called the police! Who is the person who called the police!?"

"Huh? You noticed it."

Sergei blew out a smoke ring.

"Of course, I originally thought that this incident was caused by new residents who were unfamiliar with the old city because they rarely saw fights, so they called the police. But to change my mind, what if that person was warning us about the large-scale chaos that occurred behind us?

The fighting incident...well..."

"No way, Lloyd, are you thinking too much?" Ellie was a little stunned after hearing Lloyd's guess.

What came next was the boss's words.

"No, Ellie, being suspicious of anyone is the basis of being an investigator. Criminals are always more cunning than you think, so an experienced investigator can more or less simulate the criminal's inner thoughts."

After listening to Sergey's words, Tio took out the crime index measuring device on a whim and measured it for everyone. After discovering that except for herself and Ellie, the data of the other three men were very explosive, Tio

Silently, he stuffed this unreliable instrument back into his pocket.

"So, Section Chief, who is the person you just mentioned..." Lloyd interjected and asked.

"I don't know. The person who called the police called the police anonymously. Although I don't know how he used the coin-operated communication equipment on the roadside to call the emergency line of the police station. Even the sound signature was 'no such person found', probably

What trick was used to change the voice... Until more clues are presented, we will not know whether the other party has good intentions or malicious intentions."

"Can you even do something like change your voice?"

"But don't be too hasty, you are just newbies who have just been police officers for less than a week. Be open-minded and don't take everything on you. As Dudley said, there were no casualties in this incident.

You have done a great job.”

After hearing Sergei's comfort, Lloyd, Ellie, and Tio all nodded. Only Randolph, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked out the window. He might have some other ideas, but Sergey had no plans.

to interfere with him.

After arriving at the police station and handing over the suspicious woman, the group returned to the Secret Service Support Section building.

Before organizing the report, the five people gathered in Sergei's room.

"But...is it really okay for it to end in such an anticlimactic way?"

"It seems that you are very unwilling, Lloyd."

"Chief Sergey! I also want to know what happened!" Ellie also said.
