July 27, 2 p.m

"Lloyd, how's it going?" When Randy sees his companion coming out of the police station, he hurriedly greets him

"No, the search department still won't let go" Lloyd shook his head with a sad face, "I heard from Fran that the embassy is about to send someone to file a complaint, and Officer Dadley just gritted his teeth and didn't let go"

"What a joke! The guy from the first branch really believes that Chong is going to destroy the evidence?! Randy said indignantly, "These guys are alas! ”

"Because the clue is interrupted, there is suddenly no one in the Lubache Chamber of Commerce, and there are people missing one after another from Cross Bell" Tio showed a helpless expression, "Chong is the only person who may know these two reasons, and it is normal for the search department to bite and let go"

"Anyway, the people from the embassy should come and solve it, right?" Ellie asked

"Well, the Japanese embassy has already called three times in a row, and the last time it seriously warned the search department that if they don't release people, they will use international law to prosecute Cross Bell, and they will definitely release him within 3 hours" Lloyd nodded "I have met with Chong, it seems that he has not been interrogated much, and Officer Dudley will not lynch him."

"If he dares to do it, then it will only be him who will be hurt," Chong's indifferent voice came from behind

"Chong, you're out?" Lloyd hurriedly turned around

"The people from the embassy called three times, and the police station was not brave enough to wait for them to pick me up" Chong casually threw the badge in his pocket to Lloyd, "Take it, I found it from Rubacheri"

"This is," both Lloyd's and Tio's pupils shrank slightly

"I just asked the police officer, and he said that this is your brother's, so I stayed" Chong said indifferently, "I don't know the specific situation, I'm going to go to the guerrilla association now, come with me"

"I'll tell you the seriousness of this matter, and then you will judge what to do."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of cooperation

"This" Lloyd couldn't help but grit his teeth after listening to Chong's conjecture, because this time the matter was indeed very serious

"This means that someone is experimenting with illegal drugs in both Rubahce and Cross Berne, and those who have taken the drugs are likely to have been gathered" Ellie's face couldn't help but be a little more solemn, Guntz and these people don't mention for the time being, there are more than 500 people in Lubache, if they are equipped with weapons and the influence of drugs, they can already do a lot of things

Theo, on the other hand, was silent, with a pained look on his face from time to time

"It's just speculation, the key is where the missing people have gone, and at the same time, what is their mental state" Chong pushed open the door of the guerrilla association, "I don't plan to trust those policemen, why did it take so long for you to find a big lady?" ”

"Because we sent those drugs to St. Ulsla Medical University for testing," Lloyd smiled, "We are also solving problems in our own way, and you told us this out of trust, right?" ”

"Testing" Chong frowned, "What did the doctor who took over those medicines say?" ”

"We can tell us the conclusion by the afternoon"

"Understood" greeted Michelle, and after learning that Arios was on duty, Chong went straight to the second floor

(An afternoon to draw conclusions?) I didn't expect to find out the real culprit so easily) This kind of drug that even he doesn't know the ingredients of a doctor can only take a few hours to hand in the answer? No kidding, there are only two kinds of people who can solve the truth, one is the detective and the other is the murderer

A moment later

"We have figured out the situation, and we have indeed received a lot of reports of missing people in the guerrilla association today, but I didn't expect the situation to be so critical," Michelle couldn't help but look a little solemn after listening to Lloyd and others' explanations, "So what do you want to do?" ”

"I hope to cooperate with the guerrilla association, this is also what Chong reminds me," Lloyd nodded, "We know very well that they will definitely be pressured from above to search the first section, so we will definitely be a little undermanned in this matter, so can you ask the guerrilla association to help?" ”

"Of course, after all, this matter is very important, and there is no conflict between us and the police," Arios nodded, "If we can, we will immediately concentrate our men and start searching the entire territory of Crossbell"

"It's really a big help, isn't Mr. Gino here?" Ellie asked

"He's gone to the Medical University of Santa Ursla, his body is a bit overloaded, and he needs to go to the hospital for regular check-ups" Michelle laughed "Don't worry, he won't be absent in this kind of thing"

"Really? That's great," Ellie was undoubtedly relieved, if Crossbell's Patronus was there, things would have been much easier

"We're back~" Just as the two sides reached an agreement on some trivial matters, Estelle's voice came from downstairs

"I didn't expect you to be here," Joshua walked up with a light rain first, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Ah, I just wanted to call you back, anyway, sit down first, and we'll talk about it when we're all together" Michelle motioned for them to find a chair to sit down, "Xiaoyu, did you have fun today?" ”

"Well, Dad, are you talking to Brother Lloyd about something very serious?" Xiaoyu instinctively felt how tense the atmosphere was

"Well, it's work, and today Sister Estelle they don't seem to be able to send Xiaoyu back," Michelle replied to Arios

"In that case, let's take Xiaoyu back to the Secret Service Support Section, with Zeat and the section chief here, it'll be fine," Ellie suggested, "It just so happens that we have to wait for the notification from the hospital"

"It's really a lot easier to do this," Arios nodded, "So can Xiaoyu spend the night with you today?" It doesn't seem like it's going to be solved for a day."

"Of course, we still have an empty room" Lloyd turned to Xiaoyu, "What does Xiaoyu think?" ”

"Is Kia, who is okay with me, too?" Xiaoyu hesitated for a while and then asked a question

"Of course, Zeit, too, so Xiaoyu should think of it as her home," Ellie chuckled

"Ahh

Half an hour later

"That's the situation, I've made it very clear what I just said about the group, except for the Ursla Road and the Gino, all of you work in pairs to search the Mainz Mountain Road, the area around Almorica Village and near the border, and I'm in charge of Crossbell City alone, they may be hiding in the underground area" Arios said solemnly, "This commission is very important, everyone needs to cheer up, it's best to return to Crossbell City before seven o'clock at night to concentrate"

"Yes!" Estelle replied confidently

"Then Lloyd, after getting the report from the hospital, please come to the Guerrilla Association, and we will exchange the information we have gathered with each other at that time," Arios turned to Lloyd and the others, is it okay? ”

"Of course there's no problem on our side, but it's really okay to leave it all to you? Would you like us to send someone to help? Lloyd asked

"No, I think Rubah and the others have definitely not left the city yet, and if there is an emergency, you can also ensure the safety of the citizens" Arios also felt that this incident would revolve around Cross Bell, "The search will be handed over to us, and the division of labor and cooperation will be enough"

"Then I see, in that case, let's cheer with you," Lloyd thanked and left the Guerrilla Association with Light Rain

Chong glanced in the direction of Ursla's Path, and then curled the corners of his mouth as if he understood something, maybe this is not quite accurate

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― dividing line of the omen

"It's five o'clock" Chong didn't even look at his watch, because it was already dusk outside the window

"Ahh Why hasn't the doctor called yet? Randy finally couldn't help but exclaim, "We've been sitting here for over two hours!" ”

"I've called the hospital, and they say that Dr. Joasim has locked himself in the lab and won't come out for a long time," Ellie sighed, "I guess I met the top of the bottle."

"After all, the ingredients of the drug are not so easy to detect," Theo's eyes were a little confused, "especially the drug"

"Let's go to the hospital and find him, even if I can't get a specific report, I can't sit still anymore, Estelle and they'll be back soon" Lloyd stood up and said, "Let Zeit take care of the house, we'll leave now"

Chong touched the two bottles of medicine hidden in his arms, even if he didn't feel it, he could hear the sound of collision coming from the bottles, no, maybe it was something else

-- The heartbeat of knowing one's own fate

postscript

"The boy stands at the crossroads of fate, whether he chooses to throw himself into the darkness or wait for the bell to ring at dawnCrossbell still has a good book, is this really just an anthology of fairy tales?" She lay on the treetops and looked at the man sitting quietly under the tree, "What's wrong?" This is a good thing you promised yourself, and you can't go back."

"I have no regrets, but what can you use to force him into the path of making a choice," he said indifferently, "you don't have the ability to control your emotions, I know this very well, and the only thing you can free is anger."

"That's a certain circuit that comes with the puppet at work, I can't do it myself, but do you know that there is a thing called "wish" She smiled "People change their hearts because of what they are chasing, and I have always done this, because I understand this, I know very well what kind of personality they will choose to face in what environment, so I just need to create that environment, and this is simply because I see through the truth"

"I know what you want, I know what he wants, I know what most of Crossbell's people are looking for, of course I know this" She closed the book "It's not me who dances, it's not me who holds the thread in my fingers, don't think too much, because if you think too much, it's easy to fail, just take one step at a time, and the opportunity is never more than once"

"Watch Cross Bell's longest day as a spectator, only the audience knows the secrets on stage, don't they?"
