Inside, he saw Wald and his men.

"You cheeky guys, you dare to come here. His men shouted.

"Hah... Did you come here to be beaten by us? . . . ？”

"It seems that you already know what is going on from the Blue Gang rules。。。。。 Wald said.

"So, what do you want... Preparing to arrest us... ？”

"No... I just came to you to help with the investigation... Lloyd said.

"Why do you want to defeat each other。。。。。 I'd like to hear about this, what do you think... ”

Randy said, "Hey... Why do you ask this... ？”

"Isn't it true that the reason is already known based on what the Covenant has learned。。。。。 Theo said.

"The truth ... It takes on a variety of forms depending on what you observe... Therefore, if you do not tell multiple testimonies for comparison and reference, you will not be able to see through the real truth。。。。。。 Lloyd said.

"And that's the job of the search officer。。。。。 ”

Randy said, "I see... ”

"In other words, intelligence analysis needs to be done from multiple angles, right... ”

Wald: "Hmph... Strange little imp... If we frankly think of us as villains, then the problem is solved。。。。。 ？”

"I said police imps。。。。。 Even if we have the information you want to know。。。。。 What can you give us in return。。。。。 ？”

Lloyd said, "This... It seems that the truth is not enough for you, right? . . ？”

Wald: "Hmph... Of course ... ”

"Anyway, for me, I just need to make a big fuss。。。。。。 As long as I get my blood pumping, I don't care whatever。。。。。。。 ”

"As long as you can beat us here, I'll tell you all。。。。。 Hmph, it's a good deal... ”

Lloyd said: "This is not good, this is a private fight... ”

"Hmph, that's the way men talk... Don't be naïve, you beat up my subordinates not long ago, and you want to get benefits from us so easily。。。。。。

It's impossible, if you don't want to fight, by the way, how about leaving the two women over there here for the time being。。。。。 ？”

Lloyd said, "No way。。。。。 By the way, I have a good suggestion for that too... Don't you want blood... So in the name of practice matches, let's have a heads-up one-on-one.

If I overdo you, then tell me everything you know... I don't know what you think... ”

Theo said, "It's too messy... ”

"Are you a fool... The red hair over there is almost the same. I don't look at the difference between you and my physique... ”

Wald said.

"It's okay, no matter what, I'm also a search officer... Or is it somewhat trained。。。。。 Lloyd said.

"I don't think it's going to be a street thug... ”

"Aha... Okay, very good, I didn't expect that in addition to him, there would be a super stupid person who proposed a heads-up to Uncle Ben。。。。。。 ”

"Okay, I'm going to take your next challenge, if you can win, try it... ！”

The battle is on the verge of breaking out。。。。。

Soon Lloyd narrowly prevailed。。。。。

Theo said, "Ah, win... ”

Randy said, "Haha, you're pretty capable。。。。。 ”

Lloyd said, "Whew, how's it going。。。。。 ”

"I didn't expect to be forced to this extent。。。。。 It's good to prepare for exercise... To be honest, I'd love to fight you for real。。。。。。。 But the day of the decisive battle with that guy is near.,I'll let you go this time.。。。。 ”

Wald said.

"Whew, thank you so much。。。。。 Lloyd said.

"So... Can you tell us everything? . . . ？”

"Hmph, okay... That was five days ago the night。。。。。 One of our members was attacked by the Blue Imps。。。。。 ”

"It's not far out of here。。。。。 ”

Wald said.

"Hah... That's right... ”

Ellie said, "That is... ”

Wald said, "Hmph... They must have said something similar... That's a big excuse for us。。。。。。 ”

"Our Sword and Snake Gang has always been known for its martial arts。。。。。 How could such a despicable act as a sneak attack。。。。。 ”

Lloyd said: "How many injuries were suffered by the members who were attacked。。。。。 ”

"I was hit and broke my bones, and I need to be hospitalized for a month to recover。。。。。 Although I didn't stay unconscious like the Blue Gang kids。。。。。 But the injuries alone are more serious than theirs。。。。。。。 ”

Randy said, "Then again... Are you really sure that someone from the Covenant did it。。。。。。。 ”

"Now that the injured person has regained consciousness... That should be eyewitness evidence... ”

Lloyd said, "Don't you see it... ？”

Wald said, "Sort of... But this must have been done by the Blue Gang kids... Because I heard that a stone flew from a distance。。。。。。 ”

Theo said, "You mean to say the slingshot used by the Covenant ... ”

"Yes, that's the one ... After eating that trick and falling down, it seems that he was beaten up. Wald said.

"Then I lost consciousness ... Wouldn't it be clear who the prisoner was? . . . ”

"I'm done, like I just said... In fact, such small things don't matter。。。。。 As long as you can be with the Blue Gang Imps... If you make a break with those guys, you can do whatever you want。。。。。 ”

"You can get in the way if you want to... But we're going to wipe you out with the Blue Gang kids。。。。。 ”

Wald said.

"I won't accept your provocation。。。。。 Thanks to our cooperation with the investigation, we have obtained a lot of information worthy of reference... If there is a conclusion, we will also contact you。。。。。。 Lloyd said.

"Hmph, whatever you want... Wald said.

。。。。。。。

After leaving the Serpents.

Ellie said, "... What the hell is going on ... The members of both parties were actually attacked。。。。。 ”

"But it doesn't look like one side is lying," said Theo。。。。。 ”

Lloyd said, "Ahhh ”

"What's wrong... Ellie said.

Randy said, "Could it be that ... Was it hurt somewhere when I was fighting just now? . . . ”

"Ahh No... After all, it's okay if the other party is merciful。。。。。 I just think it's a little weird。。。。。 Both sides were attacked in the alley at night five days ago... Even if it is assumed that both sides are members who want to sneak up on each other by chance。。。。。 But at the same time there are so many people acting on the flowers... Don't you notice each other ... ？”

Lloyd said.

"That's true... As long as they are not professional fighting gangs... This is generally unlikely. Randy said.

"So what if one of the parties is attacked first, and then the other party acts in retaliation... Tio said.

Ellie said, "No, that's weird... The party that sneaks up first should logically be able to guard against the other party's retaliation。。。。。 ”

"But the result is that both members of the team were easily attacked。。。。。。 That's right. Lloyd?"

Lloyd said, "Well... There's something strange about this... To solve this puzzle, it seems that there is still a piece of the puzzle missing。。。。。 ”

At this time, a female voice was heard. "Whew... You seem to be very troubled. ？”

Walking over is the reporter I have met before... "Hello, we're meeting again... Oh, that's a good picture. ”

As she spoke, she took a picture。。。。。。。 Tio said, "Wait... This is an infringement of portrait rights。。。。。。 ”

"Oops... It's just a professional habit that as long as there is an opportunity to take a good photo, I will reflexively take it。。。。。 However, it is possible that this photo could be used for reporting。。。。。 I also hope that you will be a little more generous. ”

Ellie said, "You seem to have written interesting stories before... Are you going to write that kind of report again... Turning us into the laughing stock of others ... ？”

"Aha... Drag your blessings ... That story seems to be very popular。。。。。 Compared to this, you seem to have something to do with some interesting gossip this time。。。。。

Can you help my sister with an interview? . . As a thank you gift for the last report, let my sister and me come for a treat。。。。。 ”

Lloyd said: "The intelligence being investigated... It is impossible to easily leak it to unrelated people... ”

"Not to mention leaking to people in the news media。。。。。 ”

"Oh, it's cold... I would like to invite you to taste the delicious oriental cuisine。。。。。 And there is a piece of the puzzle that is missing in the snack after the meal。。。。。 ”

"What... I see, do you want to exchange information? . . . ”

"If you are interested, please go to the exit of East Main Street。。。。。 Let's come to the Longlao Hotel over there。。。。。 My sister went over alone first.

Waiting for you over there ... Hurry up and come over ... By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a reporter for Crosbell Time, Grace. ”

Grace said.

"Reporter... Lloyd said.

Randy said, "Although this sister is suspicious... But she seems to have a lot of information。。。。。 Or we'll be invited ... ？”

Lloyd said, "It doesn't matter if she'll invite us or not... Anyway, let's get some information about her。。。。。 Since there is no way to count on the headquarters, I can only rely on myself to gather information as much as possible。。。。。。 ”

"There must be a lot of information when you are a journalist... But we have to be mindful ... Can't say too much... Ellie said.

"Agreed, she guesses it's the type of person who has to move in as soon as the other party relaxes a little。。。。。 ”

Tio said.

After that, the four of them came, the Longlao Hotel.

"Oh, here you are... ”

"It's coming... But you don't have to treat yourself... If there's anything you want to say, just make it clear。。。。。 Lloyd said.

"What... It's just a meal.,Is it which of our policemen is noble and can't be invited to eat casually.。。。。 ”

Grace said.

Randy said, "It's not a big deal to have a meal。。。。。 But you have to tell us the information. ”

Tio said, "I don't mind... If you don't need to repay the favor... ”

Ellie said, "That's right. If it makes sense ... No problem... ”

Grace: "It seems that Lloyd is the only one who has a habit of cleanliness。。。。。 Stubbornness can't be a searcher... ”

"That's good... But we don't drink ... Lloyd said.

Ellie said, "It's delicious... The level of cuisine here is very high... ”

"Delicious... ”

Randy said, "Such a good cook... It's a shame that there is no wine... Hey, Lloyd has a rare treat, so it's okay to drink a little bit of Zong... ？”

"No... We're still working... Be sure to make your own ... Lloyd said.

"Yes, yes ... Our team leader is really old-fashioned。。。。。 Randy said.

"It's Randy... You're so sleek... Tio said.

"That's right, I really don't agree with drinking at work... Ellie said.

"Hehe... You guys are so interesting ... Although they are all people with different personalities... But something seems to bind you together。。。。。 Looks like a pretty good team... ”

"It's useless for you to praise us。。。。。。 Let's get down to business ... As I said earlier, information about the old city。。。。。 The missing piece of the puzzle you hold is... It's almost time to tell us... ”

"Uh-huh... If I don't want to... Grace said.

"That can't be helped. You're just playing our word ... We won't be able to communicate and we won't be able to trust you anymore... Lloyd said.

"Today is our last conversation... ”

Grace: "Don't take it seriously... I'm kidding. But your firm attitude is good, in contrast to the superficial gentleness, quite attractive... ”

Lloyd said, "So... Guys, it's time for us to continue our search ... ”

Tio said, "Thank you for your hospitality... ”

"Ahh It's a joke... I'll tell you the details of the puzzle right away。。。。。。 ”

"First of all... Do you know about Rubaht?" said Grace.

"What's that?" said Randy.

"The name... ”

Lloyd said: "It has something to do with this... ”

Randy said, "You two have a look of surprise... ”
