Chapter 218
Lloyd and the others completed the banquet commission, and then moved on to the next client's place.
The client was found in the inn on East Street.
"Whew. "The client, a husband and wife, was comforting their child: 'Oh, behold, Arum, this child is sleeping soundly. ’
"Ah, yes, this beautiful sleeping face is like a little angel. Arum said, "Hehe, after all, you are a goddess, the child born of you, of course." ”
"Oh, Arum is really. ”
Lloyd said, "Well, I'm really sorry to disturb the two of you, are you the client?"
Arum said, "Well, who are you?"
"We are members of the Crossbell Special Services Support Section. Lloyd said, "I received your commission to come here. ”
"Oh, it's you. Arum said, "I'm so glad I've come." ”
"Great, Arum like this, it's finally done. ”
"Well, you just gave birth to a baby and you're here to bump around, blame me for being so useless. Arum said.
"Really, didn't we make an agreement not to talk about this, and we made a vow when we first picked up this child, no matter how difficult it was.
I'm going to stick with you and my children, and the whole family will work together to overcome the difficulties, right? ”
"I'm so lucky to have met you. Arum said.
El: 'Tell us more about the commission, both of you. ’
Arum: "By the way, I almost forgot, that we want you to help find my father, I'm sorry, can you please accept it immediately?"
"Got it, leave it to us. Lloyd said.
"Really, oops, we're saved, we're really at a loss. ”
"Great, Arum I'm so happy. ”
"Please tell us the details," said Theo. ”
"Uh-huh, that's right. "Ahem, I'm sorry I'll explain it now. ”
"When I was a child, I wanted you to look for him, even though we now live in Liber.
But I used to live in Crossbell, and for some reason, my parents divorced, and Woodware was able to take me back to my parents' home in Liebel.
I didn't think I'd ever see my father again, but not long ago, this lovely child was born.
In any case, I want my father to see this child, although some bad things have happened between him and his mother, but for me, he is a father after all.
So I persuaded my mother to come to Crossbell, but. ”
"It's been so long since I couldn't find my father's house?" Randy said.
"Well, yes, he was supposed to have a house on the residential street, but by the time we looked for it, it was empty.
"I then asked my mother by contact, but they haven't been in touch since the divorce. ”
Arum: "So, we started trying to find my father, and we went to various places to inquire about it, and finally learned that he had been admitted to the hospital because of his illness, and after being discharged, he moved to the old town. ”
"But when we visited, people were always there. ”
El: 'Maybe he just happened to go out and traveled'
Lloyd: 'Well, I don't know, but it was a very special experience to move from the residential street to the old city. ’
"Ellie, did you hear that resident of Residential Street moved to the Old Town?"
Ellie: "Not at all, by the way, Mr. Arum, do you remember Lingzun's name and profession?"
"Well, although I heard my mother talk about it before, I don't know if he is still doing his old job.
The name is naturally known, his name is Gaibal, and he is an Italian officer. Arum said.
Oh, it's that gentleman. Waji said.
"Oh, do you know each other?"
"Yes, we've met when we commissioned him before, so let's go visit him first. Ellie said.
"Well, I agree, maybe you can understand why he disappeared. Lloyd said.
"Great, this matter is left to you to do, it is simply the arrangement of fate, please help me find my father.
Please. ”
"Well, no problem. Lloyd said.
After this, Lloyd and the others went to their apartment in the old city.
"Excuse me, Mr. Gaibar, are you in there?" said Lloyd.
"I don't think so. Randy said.
"This is Mr. Gelba's room, right?" said Ellie.
"What are you doing?" said the apartment manager.
"Oh, it's you, from the Secret Service Support Section. ”
"Hehe, hello, Mr. Neng Administrator, may I ask where the former congressman who lives here has gone?" said Vaji.
"He was out last week, I don't know where he went, what's wrong, what's going on?"
"No, that's actually the case. ”
Lloyd explained the story.
"Oh, that's the couple who came all the way from Liber. ”
"Grandpa, have you seen Mr. Arum too?" said Theo.
"Actually, they came to the apartment last week, and we talked for a long time. ”
"Unfortunately, Mr. Gelba went out just before they arrived, and then disappeared, and I didn't know where he had gone.
"Well, no clues?" said Randy.
El: 'That's a problem. ’
"Oh, by the way, someone might know about him. ”
"Really?" Lloyd said.
"Well, I've heard Mr. Gellba say that when he was a clerk, a man who lived on West Street used to take care of him in many ways.
That person also helped him a lot when he moved, and I remember what that person's name was. ”
"It sounds familiar. Tio said.
"Anyway, let's go to West Street, thank you for your help." ”
"Why, please make more efforts to get Mr. Gelba and his son and daughter-in-law to meet. The administrator said.
After this, Lloyd and his men went to West Street.
After making some inquiries, I came to Villa Rayson.
"For the revival of the city, my old man went to donate, I thought he was a big spender and would only spend money for himself, but now it has changed his opinion a little. ””
"Oh, you're here for her?"
"Yes, ma'am, is Sir at home?" said Lloyd.
"Yes, it's inside. ”
Lloyd and the others met the gentleman.
"Oh, it's you, what's the matter with me. ”
"I'm so embarrassed to visit suddenly. "Do you have any impression of the name Gelba?"
"Well, you know Gelba, I used to take care of him when he was a clerk. ”
Waji: 'Hehe, looks like you've found a place. ’
"Actually, it's true. Ellie explains that Gelba's son and daughter-in-law are looking for him.
"Oh, I see, you are entrusted by him, in fact, not long ago Girba came to me and asked me to help him live in seclusion in Crossbell. ”
"Oh, what a fool, why should you run away with such a good son and daughter-in-law?"
"You know Mr. Gelba's whereabouts. Tio said.
Randy: "But we don't know what the so-called seclusion is all about. ”
El: "Could it be that you hid in advance because you knew that Mr. Arum was coming?"
"Well, this may seem boring to outsiders, but it shouldn't be up to me, that guy should be in Almorica Village right now. ”
"You should be able to find it if you go over and look for it, so it's better to ask me directly. ”
Lloyd: "Understood, thank you very much, we're going to the village." ”
Ellie: "Let's go. ”
The group got on the guided cart and came to the village of Almorica.
"Where will Mr. Girba live in the village?" said Ellie.
"I heard that he was in seclusion and hid his name. "Lloyd.
"Anyway, let's go to those suspicious places first. Randy said.
"Ask the villagers in the process of searching. ”
A few people came to the ash pavilion first.
"Oh, do you want to stay?" the owner: "There are still rooms available." ”
"There's one thing I want to ask you, is there a gentleman named Girba who has come to stay here?" said Lloyd.
"Oh, he's been here occasionally lately for dinner. ”
Ellie: "Eat? means not staying here. “
"Well, yes, I don't remember him checking in for a room. The owner said, "I think Mr. Geirba likes our food and goes to the village from the city." ”
"Well, I always feel that it's not realistic after all. Randy said.
"Could it be that he has relatives in this village?"
"If so, Mr. Arum should have investigated. Waji said.
"Anyway, let's keep looking, and maybe we'll find a place to hide."
Soon, after many inquiries, in the car, a small wooden house Gelba seemed to live there.
Lloyd said, "That's it. ”
"It feels like there's someone inside. ”
Theo: "I thought so too. ”
Waji: "Hehe, that's suspicious. ”
Lloyd said, 'Let's go to the village chief first, maybe he knows something.' ’
Then everyone came to the village chief's house, and after greetings.
"Hello, village chief. ”
"Oh, guys from the Secret Service Support Section, do you have something to do?"
Lloyd: "Actually, we have something to ask you, is there anyone living in the apiary's warehouse?"
"There are people living there now, and that was three or four days ago, and someone suddenly asked me to stay there for a few days. ”
"I remember it was a guy named Gelba. ”
Ellie: "Sure enough, but why do you want to live in a warehouse?"
He was asked about it, and advised him to live optimistically, but he said that he wanted to live in an inconspicuous place as much as possible, and did not listen to my advice at all. ”
"When I asked him why, he wouldn't say anything, and I guessed he might have been involved in something big. ”
"I didn't expect him to be the person you were looking for, could it be that he committed something?"
Theo: "No, it's not. ”
"Lloyd, tell the village chief all the details. ”
"Well, okay. ”
So, Lloyd explained everything.
"I see, he was originally a big man, and some time ago he pretended to be sick and hid in the hospital because of an accident. ”
"Hearing you say that, I think I've seen a picture of him in Crosbell's Time magazine. ”
Watty: "But this time it has nothing to do with what he's done before. ”
"Can we talk to Mr. Geirba in the warehouse?" said Lloyd, "and we know that he doesn't want to see Mr. Arum, but." ””
"Well, I've had arguments with my son, and the biggest reason for that is our lack of communication. The village chief said, "I can't let others repeat the mistakes of the past." ”
"The village chief. ”
"Hehe, come with me. ”
Then several people came to the warehouse.
"I'm the village chief, can I excuse myself, someone came here on purpose and has something to tell you. “
"What, can you get them back, I'm sorry for you, but I don't want to see anyone just yet. ”
"Don't worry, the people who came to see you are not your son and daughter-in-law!"
"How do you know this? ”
"Mr. Girba, can you hear me? We're from the Secret Services Section. ”
"What, what are you looking for me!"
"I'm really embarrassed to visit suddenly. Lloyd: "We have been commissioned by Mr. Arum to find you,"
"What!"
"But we will not take you away by force, we do not have such authority, and if you do not wish to meet your son under any circumstances, we will explain the situation to Mr. Arum and revoke his commission. Lloyd said.
"That's the case, can you talk to us?"
The door opened.
Lloyd and the others walked in.
"Is it Mr. Gebal? Lloyd said.
"Hmph, you really love your work, I know my son and daughter-in-law are always looking for me, but no matter what you say, I won't go to see them. ‘
"Why are you so stubborn?" said El.
"I need to ask, because my son Arum must hate me very much. ”
Waji: If it's convenient, can you tell us why?"
"I've been involved in all sorts of malfeasance since the beginning, and I've worked entirely for status, fame and money, never thinking about my own family. ”
"My wife, though she was upset with me, was so focused on taking young Arum with her that she wanted to forget her troubles. ”
But I became more and more unscrupulous because of it, and one day, I made a mistake that parents must never make.
I took advantage of my wife's departure and brought my then-lover to my own home. ”
El: "That's just too much. ”
Randy: "That's a lot of it. ”
"My wife soon found out about this, and after being completely disheartened by me, he returned to his hometown of Liber with Arum. ”
"I don't know what happened to them after that, but the divorce must have caused my wife and Arum a lot of suffering. ”
But instead of introspection, I felt that I had lost my baggage, and from then on I was at ease, and the day after the divorce was officially completed, I took my other lover to a more spacious apartment than usual.
Lloyd: "This. ”
"It's normal for you to do that kind of thing and be hated. Randy said.
Theo: "Randy, you're so direct. ”
