"Guys, this is Holden, Holden, this is Captain Casca, this is Patsia. ”

Issa completes the introduction in a clear and concise manner, and winks at Hodden, as if to suggest that they are both trustworthy companions.

Patia's eyes brightened slightly, and she took the initiative to take a step forward, "So you are that Holden." Issa is full of praise for you. ”

After Heden and Pascia shook hands and greeted each other, Casca, who was gently patting his beer belly with his hands, also bowed his head lightly to Hoden and stretched out his right hand, "You are younger than I thought." Heck, it's really the time of young people, maybe I should retire next year and go home to plant flowers. ”

"For some people, maybe retiring and going home tinkering with the garden is a lifelong dream, and who knows, maybe you'll be able to tap into a different kind of unexpected talent. Hodden also held Casca's right hand—the one who had been secretly tempted with psionic energy just now was the Captain, Isa's immediate superior.

Casca had no ill intentions, his chubby face drooped like the fat cheeks of a pug, and with a slight smile, his eyes disappeared directly, and he turned his head to look at Issa, and said in a complaining tone, "It's not even next year, and he's already helped me think of a way out in the future." ”

Issa didn't respond positively, just muttered to herself, "I don't know who thinks about retirement every day and is still beating up", and then pretended not to see Casca's "angry glare" in protest, and looked at Hodden again, "How is it, have you had lunch? There's a nice shop nearby that specializes in Kirks." ”

Kirx is a wild grassland animal living in the northwest region of the Norsnes continent, known for its delicious and juicy meat, and the taste lacks a little of the denseness and delicacy of beef, but because it can reproduce in large quantities, and at the same time there are no strict requirements for the living environment, which makes the price more affordable and more affordable.

"Isa, I haven't had breakfast yet, so why haven't I seen you come to ask me?" Casca protested with a blow of his beard and glaring.

It's a pity that without a beard, there is a lack of feeling, and the expression looks a little funny.

Issa rolled her eyes, "Captain, if I asked you, would you have a treat?"

Casca honestly closed his mouth.

Parsya stood by and snickered.

"Kirks. Well. It's worth trying. Holden's eyes lit up with interest, but he quickly controlled his emotions, because he had just finished eating the dried prune pot, and he didn't want to taste another meat for the time being, so as not to spoil the aftertaste between his lips and teeth, so he still waited for the next time.

So Holden took the initiative to speak, "I came here to inquire about the file of a case. ”

"Case?" Issa frowned slightly, "No, no. Subconsciously, he directly refused, but then reacted, "If there is a case, why don't you just come to the security team? What's going on? Someone entrusted you to investigate the case? Or did you find out something yourself? This is not good." ”

Issa's eyes stole a sneak glance at Casca, and expressed his position in righteous words, "This is the security team, not everyone can come and retrieve the file." Holden, sorry, I can't help you, that's our bottom line, we also have rules and regulations to follow. ”

Casca rolled his eyes, raised his hand and waved, "Okay, okay, there's no need to act in front of me, it's not the first day I've known you." He glanced at Issa with disgust, then he looked at Hodden, "But Issa is right about one thing, we can't let outsiders access the archives at will. ”

Not unexpected.

Hodden wasn't flustered, "What I want to look up is a file from ten years ago. ”

"What?" Pasia's exclamation overshadowed Issa and Casca, who were also full of question marks.

In Iwabuchi, if even the case from half a year ago could not be resolved, it might have to be placed in the corner to accumulate dust, let alone the case from ten years ago?

Constrained by the backwardness and limitations of investigation methods, evidence collection, clue tracking, etc., it is difficult to find the truth in many old cases, just like "Jack the Ripper", and the unsolved mysteries of Iwabuchi are also countless, all piled up in the archives, and have long been forgotten.

Hoden smiled and nodded in affirmation, "This is a homicide from ten years ago, and I haven't been able to find an answer to it, I'm trying to help a friend, hoping to see if I can find some clues." What he needs is not to punish the murderer, but an answer, an answer that calms his mind. ”

Issa was slightly stunned, opened her mouth, and tried to say something, but was unable to say it.

Casca pondered for a moment, then gently bowed his head in agreement, "Since it's an old case from ten years ago, that's another story. ”

"Captain. Issa cried out with some concern, as if there was something else to worry about within the vigilantes.

But Casca patted his belly and signaled with a look that Issa didn't need to be nervous, "We had already canceled our job as archivist the year before last, because there were too many old cases that couldn't be solved, piled up in the corner, and no one paid attention to them for years. ”

"It would be great if you could solve one more case for us, reduce one grievance and catch one criminal. I need to express my gratitude. ”

Casca looked into Holden's eyes, squinted slightly and said with a smile on his face, then turned to look at Isa, "Since it's your friend, I'll trouble you to follow the archives." The dust should be scary, so be sure to clean it up with psionic energy before you go inside. ”

After saying that, Casca didn't stay any longer, and staggered away.

Issa cast his gaze at Holden, looking a little hesitant, but in the end he chose to shut up, and the justice in his heart still prevailed.

It's just that his mouth is still complaining, "Holden, you're really going to get us in trouble." ”

"I'm sorry. Although he expressed apologies, the smiling lazy appearance did not mean sorry at all, and Hoden met Isa's gaze with a frank face.

That look made Issa unable to continue scolding, and finally laughed speechlessly, "Let's go, I'll take you to the archives." I haven't been down in years, and I don't know what it's like inside. ”

"I remember when I was a rookie, I was assigned by the captain above to sort out the information, saying that I firmly remembered our work, but in fact, it was just to give the newcomer a dismount. ”

As he walked, Issa led Hodden into the vigilante.

Pasia, who was following behind, hesitated a little and trotted all the way to catch up, "Squadron Leader, can I go with me too?"

Issa turned his head and glanced at it, "Of course, there are so many materials, one more person is one more helper, and you should also come here as a coolie." As if thinking of the appearance of the archives, Issa couldn't help but chuckle, "You can see it too, it's definitely a rare spectacle." "Diagram of the Great Dao of the Heavens
