At the hotel in Mine Town, Noelle walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a wide bath towel and wiped her hair. Expose your collarbones and calves to the cold air without any worries.

"Youjun, it's time for you to wash."

"Well, I see. A change of clothes for you is here. ”

After a brief exchange, Yuki Tatsumi and Noelle Shika swapped places. You took off her coat and wore only a purple bodysuit, walking into the bathroom and shutting them down.

“………… Ay? ”

Noelle saw the scattered aqua blue crewneck T-shirt, small gray tank top and light blue hot pants on the bed, and then he realized what Yu said about "change of clothes".

"This ...... It's, it's not good......" Noelle picked up her clothes, and was about to tell him, "I can't ask for this," before she realized that her clothes were covered in dust and dirty, and it was hard for her to walk back to the hotel in Mines Town. Seeing his clothes dirty like this, Noelle really didn't have the courage to say, "I can't ask for this, I'll just wear my own." Something like that.

However, if you accept it, it is not appropriate...... I don't have a deep relationship with Yu Tatsumi, so it's not good to accept it calmly, especially looking at the fabric of the clothes, although it's not a famous brand, but it's also a high-quality dress - for sure, after all, in places like a store, the clerk has a commission, and seeing a guy like Yu Tatsumi who is too lazy to match and is not short of money, the clerk is also happy to slaughter him.

Generally speaking, if you accept it, you have to return the gift. But...... Noelle couldn't help but think of his salary, and this month his sister Fran suddenly had the doll bear she wanted, plus she also had a new issue of the guide car special magazine to buy, and the maintenance of the weapon had to pay part of her own money, and the part she had to save every month for the guide car she especially wanted, and then cut out the money to subsidize the family............

Noelle sighed, and in an unexpected place she learned a truth: money is such a thing, and it is always forbidden to spend. After a little calculation, it is gone.

There was a crisp sound of metal landing in the bathroom, presumably from the metal buckle of the suit. As if to verify this, the sound of hot water rushing came out. You must be enjoying a hot bath comfortably at this time, right? And outside the thin door, the serious nature of Noelle fell into deep trouble......

As if redeeming, Enigma, who was lying on the bed, suddenly rang, and Noelle knew very well that this voice was a reminder of the Guiding Communication. You in the bathroom obviously heard it, but he was inconvenient, and shouted through the door: "Noelle, help me pick it up, it should be Lloyd them." ”

"Yes, yes!" Noelle nervously saluted the door and quickly threw his disorganized thoughts aside.

"Hey, hello, this is the police ............ Yuki Tatsumi's friend, Noelle. ”

Noelle subconsciously wanted to say that the "garrison" was coming, but then I thought that this was Yu's contact device! After a moment's pause, Noelle chose the best way to say it.

"It's Miss Noelle. I'm Lloyd. ”

Listening to some familiar voices on the other side, Noelle's heart that had been carrying it finally let go, but she was afraid that if someone else on the other side would cause some misunderstanding......

"We're in Mine Town now, should we join you first?" Although Lloyd wondered why Noelle received the communication, it was not a big problem, and it was still a case-based matter.

"Well, it's a good ......" Noelle just wanted to agree, but suddenly realized that he only had a bath towel around him now, and quickly changed his words: "It's not convenient for us now, please take more time...... We'll get back to you when the time comes. ”

"Uh...... I understand. Then let's first ask the mayor for his testimony. ”

――――――――――

Half an hour later, at the hotel in Mine Town, the Special Mission Support Section finally reunited.

Noelle still changed into the clothes you bought, and after secretly swearing in his heart that he would return the gift, Noelle didn't care so much. The room was large enough for seven people to gather around a table without crowding.

Lloyd and his party combined the encounter with the White Wolf and the information they had received from the Mayor of Mine Town. You nodded thoughtfully: "Divine wolf...... Really? I'd love to see it. Speaking of which, what the hell is the wolf looking for you for? ”

"Hexu knows!" The road ahead is very dangerous, so it's better to turn back as soon as possible' That's it. He Xu took the lead in standing up, and said in a cold tone from Theo, causing a few people to laugh for a while, only Theo was a little helpless and said, "Don't make trouble Hexu." ”

"It's really an inexplicable suggestion." You sighed with emotion, and Randy nodded in agreement: "yes, it's all come to this, let's stop it or something." ”

He Xu was also full of interest, and he was not worried about the upcoming battle. After all, it is a child, and even if it is a painful and terrible thing like fighting, before experiencing it in person, it will only feel exciting. She raised her little head with some pride: "If you don't catch the bad guy, how can you go back." ”

You smiled bitterly, it seemed that he still paid more attention to her, after all, he handed over the Ainigema in the test to himself, and it would be too much to say if he didn't care. However, there are some other details that have to be determined now. So You Chai asked: "So, if the mayor is there, he can also be sure that the murderer is Lu Bacher, right?" ”

"Well, yes. Lu Bacher's side proposed to use Lu Bacher's people to replace the garrison to protect the mining town, and the request was to monopolize the purchase rights of Qiyao Stone during the protection period. ”

As the raw material of "guiding energy", the mining right of Qiyao Stone belongs to the national government, and even Crossbell's mining right belongs to the autonomous prefecture government. After all, we can't fish all the water, and each country has restrictions on the amount of exploitation. However, to whom the mined Qiyao Stone is to be sold, the mining land can be allocated as appropriate.

If Lubacher monopolizes the purchasing rights, although it seems that there is no use, Qiyao Stone is a necessity for the guiding device, and in the autonomous prefecture, the largest supply of Qiyao Stone is the town of Mainz Mine, and after being monopolized by Lubacher, they can arbitrarily raise the price.

And the collusion between Rubacher and the imperialist parliamentarians will not really harm the interests of the parliamentarians, and when the time comes, they can not only sell a face to the imperial parliamentarians, but also earn the difference and enrich their wallets.

Moreover, such a large piece of cake is just a "giveaway".

After all, Lu Bache's main purpose is to train military dogs and make up for the lack of combat effectiveness in order to compete with the Black Moon. It's like, 800 meters a month work, no one will like it, but suddenly you win the lottery and get 800 meters, you will be very happy, although they all seem to be worth the same, but "gifts" are often more exciting.

"I see. Really...... Boring ambition...... Speaking of which, I also encountered Lubacher's truck at the door, and the smell of military dogs and monsters inside was really impossible for me to ignore. ”

You nodded as he spoke, he was a former guerrilla, and like Lloyd, he was the type who was good at analytical reasoning. However, Lloyd was obviously more rigorous than he was, and he seriously deduced the whole case from scratch.

In order to cope with the arrival of the Black Moon, Lubacher began to train military dogs for the purpose of increasing combat effectiveness, and in order to test the combat effectiveness and obedience of military dogs, he began to secretly sabotage in various places, and suppressed media reports. Because of his connections in the garrison, Rubacher can understand the movements of the garrison to a certain extent, so the garrison has been busy for so long and has not caught the murderer.

The method of movement used by Lubacher is the new truck of the Lane Ford Society, and the way to give orders to military dogs is to use the canine horn. The truck was seen in the mining town, where both Lloyd and Yuki Tatsumi were witnessed, and the dog flute was inferred through the testimony of Drip Marklein at the previous medical university.

In the process of implementing this plan, Lu Bachew suddenly felt that he could monopolize the mining rights of Qiyao Stone by the way, and it would not take too long to give favors and take benefits, so he temporarily revised the plan. Judging from their behavior, I am afraid that they will come again tonight to put pressure on the mine.

Lloyd's deduction was complete and he sighed. No matter how you look at it, there is a complete plan. Now that I think about it, what a coincidence that they were able to find clues about this case!

Wrong? Lloyd suddenly discovered that this time You Tatsumi seemed to be aware earlier than himself, and he personally went to various places to collect evidence and investigate, so how did You find out?

"Ladies and gentlemen...... That's amazing! ”

Before Lloyd could ask, Noelle spoke reverently.

As soon as Lloyd said this, Noelle also felt that this was the right thing to do. It's just that the difference is that Lloyd and they investigated and analyzed the evidence by themselves, while Noelle listened to them and agreed with them. Judgment from above.

"Well, after all, the way of thinking is different. The way of thinking of the garrison, the way of thinking of the investigators, and the way of thinking of the guerrillas are not the same. You smiled and enlightened her. After a short period of understanding, he also probably mastered Noelle's core personality trait, which is seriousness. If she doesn't say anything, I'm afraid this serious girl will feel guilty later.

"Yes, the garrison can be dispatched, which also makes the local people feel a lot more at ease." Ellie also hurried to help. As a woman, she understands the delicate thinking of women better than her teammates.

"Ahaha...... I really dare not be a ......" Noelle was a little embarrassed, after all, the "performance" of the garrison is obvious to all, the army is the sword of the government, and if the government is corrupted, the sword can only rust with it. This incident is a case in point. And before that, there were countless incidents where the garrison was helpless...... This is also the darkness of Crossbell.

"The operation tonight is to secretly wait for Rubache to make a move, and then we will strike quickly to catch as many Rubache's feet as possible on the premise of protecting the attacked." You inadvertently took over the command, and gave the order on his behalf.

Lloyd himself didn't really care, after all, it's always good to have one more of these leaders. The Support Section didn't show much unaccustomedness, after all, the section chief who established the Support Section was like that...... Don't expect them to have any strong sense of power and superiority.

The only one who is a little uncomfortable is Noelle, she is from the garrison, and the garrison is similar to the army, and she values command very much internally. After all, in the army, the most important thing is to "speak with one voice". She looked at Lloyd with some embarrassment, and then at Yu Tatsumi, and found that these two people didn't care, so she could only sigh helplessly.

"Our goal is not to arrest the Rubacher members, but to let the Rubacher know that the police have begun to pay attention to them, so that at least they will move the fight to the 'table'." You finally made a supplement, and the members of the support section responded with high interest.

"Well, free time. After a well-rested day, meet here at 7 p.m. ”
