Ellie: "Now that we know about this... we should do something to stop it..."
Randy: "But...this kind of thing is difficult to handle, right...? They are not the kind of people who just say something...just get along well, etc. and just obey...
.”
Lloyd: "That's right... Even if we report it to the headquarters, we won't get much hope... It seems we can only figure out a solution for this matter ourselves..."
"Eh... I'm just going to report it... give it a try...? Maybe they will send people to strengthen patrols in the old city..." Ellie said.
"No...this should be difficult..." Lloyd said.
"It has caused such a large-scale commotion... but they don't care at all about the police's response..."
"I think... maybe the government deliberately ignores this old urban street..."
Lloyd said.
Ellie said: "Ah..."
Tio said: "Indeed... according to the data in the database... the patrols on the old city streets have been greatly reduced in recent times..."
"In the name of budget cuts..."
Randy said: "Hmph... It seems completely correct... But then won't we be even more helpless...? Why don't we just go find those two gangs... to fight and let them
They should be obedient..."
"Let me say...wait a minute...why are the two gangs fighting to the death...?" Lloyd said.
"Of course it's... because of turf wars or dissatisfaction with each other...?" Randy said.
"No...if it was just like this, it wouldn't develop to a desperate level...It would be okay if there was a serious relationship, but this is just a dispute between two gangsters..." Lloyd said.
"Why do you need to prepare careful equipment...and plan to completely defeat the opponent...?"
Lloyd said.
Tio said: "It's surprising..."
Ellie: "Yeah... me too..."
Randy said: "That's it..."
"What's wrong...is what I said so strange...?" Lloyd said.
Ellie: "No... I was just thinking that you are worthy of being a qualified investigator..."
Randy said: "I think you have hit the point... After all, what we have seen is that the relationship between the leaders is not that bad..."
Tio said: "I think... there may be some reason for this... a reason that only the person involved knows and has to fight to the death..."
Lloyd: 'Yeah...I think so too...'
"In this case... there is only one thing we have to do..."
Randy said; "Yeah..."
Ellie: "The Sword Serpent Gang or the Covenant...which party should we go to investigate first...?"
"Let's go to the Covenant first...they still want to talk," Lloyd said.
Arrive at the Covenant stronghold.
Here is a pool bar.
Randy said: "Well, billiards, the people here are quite interesting..."
Tio said: "This is also a store with a business license..."
Lloyd said: "I see...Is this the gathering place of the Covenant Alliance...?"
Man: "What's the matter..."
What came out was a bald head.
"Are you the lackeys of the police...?"
"Sorry...it seems you are open for business, right, so we're disturbing you..." Lloyd said.
"You are so thick-skinned... What are you doing here... Don't even think about leaving until you make it clear..."
"I also want to recover the debt just now..."
The bald man said: "Wait a minute..."
"Abbas...why are you stopping us...?"
"This is sacred territory...don't cause trouble..." Abbas said.
Then he turned around and shouted to the man at the bar: "What should we do now... Waji?"
Waji said: "Okay, let them come over..."
Lloyd said: "Thank you..."
Randy said: "Hmm... it seems interesting."
Waji: "What's wrong with you...?"
"I remember I said that police lackeys are not welcome here...?"
Lloyd: "You have nothing to say to us...but we have something to do with you..."
"I hope you can take some time to assist us in our investigation..."
"Hmph...investigation..."
"Let me talk about it first... I will never give up after breaking up with the Snake Gang..." Waji said.
"Although it will cause trouble to nearby residents... we can only let them tolerate it..."
Lloyd said: "I'm not here to stop the fight between you... I'm here to know why you want to fight to the death... What's the reason..."
"That's because of the bastards from the Snake Gang..." said the young man in blue clothing.
Interrupted by the bald head: "Shut up... let Waji handle it..."
Lloyd: "It seems...there is really a reason...can you please tell us?"
Waji said: "You know...what are you going to do...?"
"As for guerrillas, that's fine... What can the police do... What can you do to us annoying little brats living in the old city...?"
"I admit...the police response left a lot to be desired..." Lloyd said.
"Even if we know the reason, we may not be able to help you... This is because we are different from the guerrillas whose duty is to protect the people..."
Ellie said: "I said... Royd..."
Waji said: "Oh... it's really outrageous... Are you planning to just get information from us without giving any benefits...?"
Lloyd said: "No...there are still benefits..."
"The job of an investigator is to make the truth buried in darkness known to the public... to bring light to people and society... At least that's what I was taught..."
"If you still have some doubts in your mind... maybe we can help you solve them. This is the benefit we can give you..."
Lloyd said.
Randy said: "This is really good at talking..."
Vaggie: "Hahaha... very good, very good... You don't hear such interesting lines very often... Is your name Lloyd? I like you very much...
"
Lloyd said: "...I'm not joking or trying to make you happy...but I want to find out the facts... Are you willing to tell us why you have to fight to the death?"
Waji: "Haha... Well... we have heard the decisive lines. It might not be too stingy not to give something in return... Abbas should tell them..."
The bald head said: "Understood... My name is Abbas, and I am a member of the Covenant Alliance... It started in front of Takeda. At that time, one of our members was killed by the Sword Snake Gang in the back alley.
There was a sneak attack...and he was seriously injured..."
"Sneak attack?"
Randy said: "Isn't it just an ordinary fight...?"
"In a fight, someone will hit him on the back of the head... and then beat him a ton after he falls down...? It was a one-sided beating... The injured person... is still lying unconscious in the hospital.
....."
Randy said: "It's really vicious..."
Lloyd said: "The injured person has not regained consciousness now, has he...?"
Abbas said: "We have received treatment... but he was hit on the head... Now we are waiting for contact from the hospital."
Ellie said: "Don't you plan to call the police..."
Abbas: "We think that even if we call the police... the police will not go out for us... Now that the culprit has been identified... don't try to hinder our revenge..."
Ellie: "Really..."
Tio: "Please wait a moment... The person who was attacked should not have regained consciousness yet... Then how did you know that the person who attacked... was from the Sword Snake Gang...
.?"
Lloyd said: "So...you have evidence, right...?"
Waji: "Of course... We are not so arbitrary... After all, unlike them, we are reasonable..."
"Haha, it's just that the bad guys claimed to have lowered themselves to something... It's just weird... Haha, that's why we concluded that they are the murderers..."
"Since you are the investigator, you should be able to guess..."
Lloyd said: "Is it because of the injuries on the members who were attacked...?"
Abbas said: "Most of the injuries are from blows...but at the same time, you can also clearly see a few cuts...This kind of weapon is used by the people of the Sword Snake Gang...
..."
Randy said: "In other words...is it a mace...?"
"If you want to judge who is the prisoner...this point is indeed very decisive..." Tio said.
Lloyd said: "We have a general understanding of the situation...Thank you, we will use it as a reference..."
"Thank you, but no need... Why is this bit of information enough...? Don't you plan to say something like giving up revenge..." Waji said.
"Personally, of course I want to stop you... But there is still too little basis for judgment at the moment... I will go to the Sword Snake Gang hall... If I draw a conclusion, I will
I’ll contact you again…” Lloyd said.
"Haha...I see, after all, you just want to stick to the search, right...What do you want to find? It's interesting, I will wait for it."
"Of course, if it's not interesting... the result will be nothing but bloodshed..." Waji said.
Lloyd said: "I know... I will definitely live up to your expectations, just wait..."
Afterwards, come to the Sword Snake Gang.
There I saw the gang guarding the gate.
"Excuse me...Is this the Sword Snake Gang?"
Lloyd said.
"This place seems to have been renovated from a warehouse..."
The gang members came over and said, "It's you policemen...don't ignore me!"
"Ah, I'm sorry... We came here because we have something to ask your leader... I don't know if I can inform you..."
Lloyd said.
"Looking for Boss Walder...? Humph, lackeys of the police like you...what qualifications do you have to talk to Boss Walder...?" the boy said.
"Please inform me..." Ellie said.
"If I say no, it won't work...get back here quickly..." the young man said.
Randy said: "Oh...it's really troublesome."
Ellie said: "Well...what's your name...?"
"? Me...? My name is Dino..." the boy said.
"It's called Didino...are you here to guard against suspicious people...?" Ellie said.
"That's right... I was asked by Brother Walder to guard this place and prevent the guys from the Covenant from breaking in..."
"This is not something that other seniors forcefully pushed onto me..."
said the young man.
Ellie: "I see, that's really amazing... But we are not members of the Covenant... In this case, it doesn't matter if you bring us in, right?"
"But...you just fought with the seniors, if I take you in..."
Ellie said: "Haha... Even though it's a fight, to you, it's just like saying hello..."
"Besides, your leader doesn't seem to care very much..."
"but..."
"Well, if you still can't trust me... I will leave the weapon to you for safekeeping... But this thing is very important to me. Please return it to me later..."
Ellie said.
"You guys just wait here...I'll go find Brother Walder...and ask if I can let you in..." the boy said.
Randy said: "Oh...how bold..."
"I was shocked by you..." Tio said.
"...It's really amazing...negotiation skills, Ellie...that kind of negotiation method is completely impossible for me..." Lloyd said.
Ellie said: "Ah... I'm used to this kind of negotiation... Just leave it to me..."
"But I think this method may not work against the man named Wald..."
"So, I think it's better to leave it to you like we did at Waji's place..."
Lloyd said: "Well...I know..."
After the young man came out, he said: "Boss Walder is calling you...Although you can go in, if you act strangely, I won't spare you..."
"Don't worry, we're just here to ask something..." Lloyd said. (To be continued)
