"What if I say that it's not just homeless homes where a large number of homeless people are missing?"

Howlen's flat words seemed to have no weight, and they fell lightly on Isa's ears, but they exploded directly like thunder.

Rumble!

Issa's eyes were sharp and heavy and slammed into Hoden, and his first reaction was, "Hoden, what are you hiding from me?"

Since he decided to speak, Hordon was also fully prepared, not only did he not panic, but also chuckled, "Squadron leader, aren't I confessing now?"

Issa expressed strong skepticism.

Rather than continue to defend himself, Hoden returned to business, "In the past time, when I was looking for food in the streets and alleys of Iwabuchi, I chatted with the shopkeepers, chefs, and customers, and accidentally noticed a detail, there were homeless people missing nearby. ”

"At first, I didn't care. ”

"The homeless are a group that has been ignored by the city, and they have no fixed place, their whereabouts are always wandering, the so-called disappearance may just go to another area, and those small talk is not taken seriously, just pure small talk. ”

But gradually, as the same things become more common, suspicions inevitably arise. ”

After visiting the "St. Peter's Inspection Center", Holden's first reaction was to seek help from the security team, but first, Holden didn't want to expose himself, second, Holden was not sure of his location, and third, he couldn't determine the status of the security team, so Holden didn't go straight to Issa without recklessness.

Since then, Hodden has been looking for the right opportunity to tell Issa the right story in the right way, using the resources of the vigilante to complete the investigation.

Until today.

The opportunity arose, so Hodden revealed it to Issa in the simplest but most perfect way, and officially asked the vigilantes to intervene in the investigation.

Really!

Although Issa remained skeptical, her mind followed Howlen's story, "Once a coincidence, twice an accident, and three times inevitable." ”

Holden agreed, "So I started to investigate more to see what was going on, and when Nightingale's investigation manual came out, I immediately realized that the two things might be connected, but I couldn't be sure, after all, the whereabouts of the homeless were already full of possibilities." ”

This explains why Holden didn't inform Issa in the first place, and also explains why Holden secretly took Nightingale's investigation manual.

"No!" Issa immediately realized Hoden's intentions, and the matter finally made sense, but on the surface, he still did not let his guard down, and glared at Hoden dissatisfiedly, "No matter what happens, you shouldn't steal the evidence - you should know better than I do, don't you? You don't try to excuse yourself, you know what you're doing, you know the consequences, but you do it anyway." ”

As she spoke, Isa's anger rekindled.

In the face of Isa's catharsis, Horden listened quietly with a well-behaved face, no rhetoric or righteous and stern words, although he did not sincerely admit his mistakes, but such a quiet appearance still made Issa's anger quickly calm down, after all, he could not continue to be angry, he could only keep a straight face:

"And then, what did your investigation find?"

Holden still had the same well-behaved expression, but his slightly narrowed eyes changed subtly, and he quietly seized the initiative again.

"Not much was discovered. Hodden pursed his lips and expressed his frustration as if he were nonchalant, "The only clue is that they all seem to have undergone medical examinations at the 'St. Peter's Examination Center'. ”

"St. Peter?" Issa frowned slightly, "Isn't that a charitable medical examination center, how could it have something to do with the disappearance of the homeless?"

"Of course, I think so, but that's the only thing they have in common, that's why I said, there's nothing to discover. Holden agreed, too.

"But?" Issa was able to read the meaning behind Holden's words, and asked again, seeing the puzzle in Holden's eyes, she said angrily, "Your words are hinting that there is a 'but' behind it, so it's better to say it directly now." ”

The smile on the corner of Holden's mouth rose and he threw a "admiration, admiration" look at Isa, which made Issa roll his eyes speechlessly and make an impatient gesture to repel flies, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

"But, Squadron Leader Issa, how do you make your judgment? I mean, why do you trust that inspection center unconditionally?"

Hodden slowly offered his own "but," to which Issa replied assumibly, "because they're charities, and because they have no motive." ”

"So, you just trust them unconditionally?" Hodden continued.

That unhurried tone made Issa a little angry, "Yes, I believe. Do you know how much effort they put into promoting modern medicine in Iwabuchi, how much effort they put in behind the scenes to make it possible for ordinary citizens to receive health check-ups for free? They put so much effort into the construction of this city, and do you mean that you are suspicious of the homeless people because of what they have in common to be tested there?"

At this time, Isa's anger was completely different from the situation just now, and Holden could feel Isa's sincerity from the heart.

Although Hordon was still not familiar with Iwabuchi and the Leia Empire, he also knew that it was indeed very difficult to popularize philanthropy in this era, and the medical concepts being promoted by St. Peter's Examination Center were even more advanced with the times, and the difficulties and doubts they had to face were unimaginable.

There is no need for Holden to "make trouble", I am afraid that the St. Peter's Examination Center has encountered countless criticisms and controversies in normal times, and even so, it is still able to unswervingly continue the charity work, this courage and courage are indeed admirable, and it is not surprising that it can awaken the resonance of Issa.

Especially for Holden, he is more understandable.

Because the long history of the earth has also gone through such a process, the heroism and bravery of those pioneers can be felt just from the words in the annals, and the process of promoting modern medicine has also suffered many obstacles, even on the earth, not to mention the Norsnes continent, which believes in psionic energy.

After all, psionic energy can literally heal many serious injuries and diseases, so why do you need modern medicine?

What is going on at the St. Peter's Inspection Center, deserves applause.

But yard by yard, Holden's attitude remained unwavering, "You mean, we should trust charities, not homeless people?"

“...... You're stealing a different concept!" Issa was a little speechless, and then realized that his words were indeed prone to misunderstanding, and couldn't help but argue.

Hodden didn't get into the horns either, "So look at it from another perspective, because they are doing charity, so we should trust them unconditionally?"
