Lloyd asked: "Miss Ge**, does Black Moon plan to buy the old site of Lubache?"
"Yes, I heard that they plan to buy it together with the warehouse. If Black Moon can successfully acquire this place, it will be equivalent to completely controlling Crossbell's underground world."
"At that time, the situation may be very troublesome."
Lloyd: "I feel the same way. After all, we were just here to collect information, but we didn't expect to encounter such a major scene."
"Yes, it's best to report this matter to Yi Ke as well." Ellie said.
Ge** said: "Huh? Aren't you here to investigate the Black Moon matter? Are you investigating other matters?"
"Well..." Lloyd said, "Actually, we are searching for someone you have met, Ms. G**."
"It's the man named Lecter who defeated the miner in Baruka."
"Oh, it's him. I just met that person in the hotel not long ago." Ge** said.
"Really!"
"Yes, he was wearing his usual vacation outfit and was having a leisurely meal inside." Ge** said, "I was in a hurry to come here to show off my talents, so I didn't say hello to him."
"Yes, I can't stand here stupidly." Ge** said: "At least I have to dig out some useful information from the branch chief."
"I'm leaving now. Let's have dinner together next time."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
"It's still the same," said Lloyd.
"After all, here you can witness such important information." Waji said.
"Yes, let's put this matter aside for now and go to the restaurant now."
The four of them left the back street and came to East Street.
On the way, we first went to the Guerrilla Association.
Receptionist Michelle: "Oh, it's you."
"Mr. Michel, long time no see." Lloyd said.
"Haha, long time no see. Thank you for your help during the operation in Altair City."
"Thank you. Actually, most of it is due to Mr. Arios and Dudley." Lloyd said.
"Haha, Mr. Michelle is also very energetic." Ellie said.
"Haha, it goes without saying, but since Estelle and Joshua left, it has become busier."
Lloyd: "As expected."
El: 'But Mr. Os and other guerrillas have successfully filled in the peacocks they left, right?'
"Ha, after all, everyone has corrected the shortage of manpower." Michelle said, "Finally, we can still share the work."
"Guerrillas are really people's partners. No matter how busy they are, they will never flinch or complain," Vaji said.
"Exactly, but you have also done a good job, and now you have gained the trust of many people... Oh, could it be these two children?"
"Well, a new member of the support department." Lloyd said.
"I'm El, please take care of me."
"Waji, just state your name and don't need to say anything else, right?" Waji said.
"Haha, it seems that you have gathered very interesting partners. I didn't expect that even the leader of the Covenant Alliance has joined the support department."
Michelle said: "Anyway, it's a good thing that the support department can resume work. If we encounter special circumstances in the future, we may need your help."
"Of course." Lloyd chuckled: "Although we have different positions, we should assist each other and work together."
"Haha, compared to the first time we met, your expression is even better, so please take good care of me in the future."
After leaving the Guerrilla Association branch, we came to the hotel.
"Mr. Rector, you are actually here."
Rector was in the hotel kitchen, discussing cooking with the chef.
"Oh, you are so slow. I have been waiting for you for a long time, my dear friends."
Rector laughed enthusiastically, as if everyone was really good friends who had known each other for many years.
"well?"
"Boss, these are the friends I just mentioned. They are very motivated and perseverant. Please don't be polite and just train them!"
Rector said to the boss seriously.
"No problem, leave it to me. It's a bit troublesome to have four people here at once, but I'm happy that Oriental cuisine can be spread."
"Okay, come here and study hard."
"Ha, what are you talking about?" Ellie said.
Then Rector took the opportunity and ran away quickly.
"It's still the same," Vaggie said.
"We must, we must catch up quickly!" Ellie said.
"Hey, where do you want to go? The cooking training is about to start, so cheer up."
Lloyd: "No, you misunderstood."
"Ah, since we made a mistake, there's nothing we can do about it, but it's still fate. You can take this and go."
After saying that, the boss gave a recipe book to Lloyd and the others.
"Thank you, we will study hard." Lloyd said.
"Okay, hurry up and chase Lecter."
When he came out of the hotel, Lector ran so fast and disappeared completely.
"No one can be found." El said: "It's like they expected us to come and deliberately designed that kind of trap."
"Methods of that level are nothing to him, and he deserves to be the one who has the information." Ellie said. "
"Haha, but what he did is really not like a remarkable person. What should we do next and give up?" Waji asked.
"No, let's continue chasing and ask the people around us. Maybe we can get a lot of clues." Lloyd said.
Start searching and asking.
The first one was to ask the fish shop owner, but he didn't know.
"Well, you don't need fish. After all, I haven't seen those people from the Diao Gongshi Group recently. You know where they are."
The second fruit shop owner didn't know either.
"Oh, my fruit is delicious."
"Oh, our store sells windmills."
"Did you see anyone in casual clothes?"
"No, I am sorry."
At this time, a child asked.
"The man you mentioned with red hair and casual vacation clothes ran to the central square and said that youth means running as hard as you can."
"I always think that guy is very undisciplined," Ellie said.
Arriving at the Central Square, I finally found out that Rector was on the rooftop of Times Department Store.
When we got to the top of the building, we saw him standing on the fence looking at the scenery.
After noticing the arrival of the four people, Rector said, "Oh, by the way, Crossbell is really a confusing place."
Lloyd said: "I understand what you want to say."
"That building is the Orchid Tower, with a height of 50 meters and a total of forty floors. It is currently the tallest super high-rise skyscraper in the entire continent."
Ellie said: "There will be many important office locations arranged in it in the future."
El: "It's really amazing. Looking at it from such a long distance, it still looks so huge."
Vaggie: "Haha, it's still covered with a curtain, doesn't it mean it's completely completed?"
Lloyd said: "Well, many important departments are working there, but it seems that it will not be revealed until it is officially announced."
"Oh, that Dieter is really a very powerful person." Rector said.
"We want to ask you a few questions from the perspective of the Support Section, Mr. Rector. We want to confirm your identity and ask for your cooperation."
"So serious, what if I refuse?"
Ellie said: "Although we have no binding force on you people, the premise is that the other party has revealed his identity."
Waji said: 'If the other party does not identify themselves, we can exercise our investigative powers like ordinary people, that's what it means.'
"Oh, here's a trick." Rector said: "I have no choice but to obey. It's pretty good. My identity is..."
"Huh?" Suddenly he stopped and looked at a building.
"There was a dark shadow in that place just now. After I saw it, it flashed away," Rector said.
Ellie said: "Can it be said that it is?"
Waji said: "Is that the legendary silver?"
"But it's broad daylight now," El said.
"hehe?"
"not good."
This guy Rector ran away again.
Several people saw a rope on a fence.
"This guy went down with this," Lloyd said.
El: 'How is this possible?'
Waji said: 'Haha, he is indeed a very interesting person.'
"There is an opponent with such methods that you can't defeat with normal force." Lloyd said.
"Down here is the back street, let's go down the stairs."
Several people chased after him and found that he had climbed down by a rope.
"Haha, did you practice it specially?" Waji said.
"Anyway, hurry up and catch up." Ellie said.
"Let's ask people around here, that's all we can do." Lloyd said.
Finally, I found out that Rector went to the casino on Entertainment Street.
I found him there and he was having fun.
"Mr. Rector, you can't escape anymore." At Lloyd's signal, several people surrounded Rector.
"Please tell me your true identity honestly." Ellie said.
"This, which one should I choose?"
"Please don't lie to us so blatantly again," Lloyd said.
"If you have any questions, just ask them, and I'll answer them with YES and NO," Rector said.
"I understand, then I'll start asking, are you an intelligence officer of the empire?"
"YES!"
Ellie: "Then let me ask, was your visit authorized?"
"You can say NO or you can say YES."
"Are you planning to stay in Crossbell for more than a month?"
"The answer is NO, I will go back after only staying for about a week."
"I'm sorry to bother you. Thank you for your cooperation." Lloyd said.
"Oh, it's nothing. Is that little guy okay? The one you adopted."
"You mean Kia, well, thanks to you, she has been growing up healthily."
Lloyd smiled.
"Thank you so much for your help." Ellie said.
Waji said: "Yes, thanks to you, we were able to escape with Kiya at that time."
"Haha, what are you talking about? I was just playing with my little black cat. By the way, the uncle named Haru has been arrested, right?"
"Why do you even know this?"
"It's only been less than three days since we arrested them," El said.
"Because confirming this matter is really one of the purposes of my coming here."
Rector said: "Just ask, there are other purposes."
"Ah! I found it. It's here. What are you doing here at this time?"
At this time, a girl came over, and she came directly to Rector.
He said dissatisfied: "Didn't I ask you to arrange tickets for the Rainbow Theater Company? How about it? Got it?"
"Haha, I've already got it. Are you still worried about me taking action?" Lecter said with a smile.
"Really!" The red-haired girl smiled: 'Haha, thank you, I've wanted to see it for a long time.'
"Oh, there are so many people here."
"Um, what's wrong?"
"Brother, you smell good, a smell that makes me miss you."
The red-haired girl stared at Lloyd, and then gave him a hug.
Lloyd was frightened and broke away.
Ellie said with a bad look: "Is this?"
"Yo," Vaggie said.
"What are you doing."
"Haha, it's really good. This smell is really familiar, but this sister also has it." The red-haired girl said.
Rector said: "Let's take our leave first."
"What's going on with that girl?" Lloyd said.
"I'm about fifteen years old. I feel very powerful," Waji said.
Afterwards, the four returned to the headquarters and reported the information about Rector and Black Moon's movements.
Investigator Emma said: "Thank you for your hard work, you seem to have mastered a lot of information."
"Well, I really didn't expect him to admit that he was from the Intelligence Bureau so openly and calmly," Lloyd said.
"He probably has full confidence and thinks that even if his identity is exposed, it will not hinder his work." Emma said: "But in this way, he can even control his stay time, which is also a gain. Leave this matter to
You guys did it, it really exceeded my expectations.'
"Haha, that's really an award."
Waji said: "Hehe."
"Speaking of which, I am also a little concerned about the girl accompanying me. Do you think they are Lecter's men?" Emma said.
"No, although it's just a one-time encounter, but judging from the work standards, she is too young and very innocent. It is difficult to do Rector's job, but she is definitely not an ordinary person." Lloyd said.
El said: "He is very agile and walks silently.'
"Understood, we are going back to investigate, so I'll take my leave first. Thank you all."
‘No, if you need our help with anything in the future, please don’t be polite.’ Lloyd said.
After Emma left, Lloyd exhaled and said, "Finally, we lived up to our expectations."
"Yes." Ellie also breathed a sigh of relief: "But who is that child nearby?"
El said: 'It's really concerning. Although she got through easily, she really doesn't look like an ordinary traveler.'
Vaggie said: "The innocent girl and Lecter are really an intriguing combination."
"Okay, let's go back, there are other things to do."
When he came to the lobby, the receptionist Sora asked: "Oh, everyone in the support department, how is your work?"
"Well, I just finished the report. Haha, I finally completed a piece of work." Waji said.
"Thank you for your hard work. After the support department starts working again, there are still a lot of commissions waiting for you. Please continue to work hard."
"Thank you, you guys too!" Ellie said.
El said: "As a new member, I still have many shortcomings. Please give me more advice in the future."
"Well, very good. By the way, there is one more thing I must tell you. The information you discovered when dealing with the DG incident has been fully analyzed by the Department of Signing not long ago."
Ellie said: 'Really!'
Waji said: "What are you talking about?",
Lloyd said: 'When we were dealing with the DG incident, we entered the Tower of the Sun, where we found text messages about DG recorded by Achim. However, because some of the messages were deliberately eliminated, could it be that all of them have been restored now?
'
"No, it's just that the possibility of recovery has been discovered. There are many fragments that can be analyzed and completed within a certain period of time."
"Really?" El said, "I thought I could finally find out the unknown aspects of the pick-up incident."
"Now it seems that we can only wait patiently." Lloyd said: "Thank you for telling us the news."
"You're welcome, you can always check it out if you need it."
After leaving the headquarters, I received the communication.
Lloyd said: ‘Probably the section chief.’ (To be continued)
