Chapter XVI. The Ardent Inquisitor
"Is this it?"
Guy? Bannings looked at the note in his hand. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
That was the last address he got after many inquiries.
Although everyone's descriptions are different, and some people don't remember them, they can't stand it much.
While Guy was on patrol, he questioned almost everyone in Crossbell City, and finally consolidated everyone's statement, which was Guy's final building.
It was a building that looked old, with four floors in the corner of the central plaza, next to the Kilond Arms Chamber of Commerce, where Guy frequented.
But......
Why don't I have any impression of this building?
Like his brother, Guy's brain is full of all sorts of questions.
Moreover, why did he patrol for so long, but he seemed to actively ignore the building?
Guy dragged his chin in one hand, his eyes closed playfully, as if that would help him think.
"Well, forget it. Anyway, go in first! β
Unlike his brother, Guy often doesn't think about the answer to a problem after discovering it, and to put it better, it's because he's bold and adventurous. It's not nice to say, it's just not to think, to do it first and then talk about it.
This is the decisive difference between Guy and other investigators, he must find out that there is no such thing as "look at the situation first" or "think about the connection with other things". His keen intuition and insight, combined with his passionate and bold actions, gave Guy the impression of being a maverick among all the investigators.
Here, the most typical is Dudley. The typical investigator clearly preferred Lloyd's regular child, and he disliked Guy's intuitive type, and his words were often mocked by the energetic tall man of the large dog.
However, when Guy did die in the line of duty, one of the saddest men was Dudley. For good or bad in the relationship, Dudley admits that Guy is a promising investigator.
Therefore...... When Guy came back to life, Dudley was so entangled that he was reluctant to investigate the matter...... Even if it was just an illusory dream, he didn't want to lose this sunny and energetic colleague again.
Unfortunately, Guy's instincts and actions far outstripped his judgment.
One of Guy's credos is that it's better to be stupid than not to be at all.
He firmly believes that he is a dead man, and he also believes that his brother is a good man. Then there is only one conclusion, it is the bad guy who locks up his brother.
A simple and crude method of argumentation, if Dudley knew about his low-level reasoning, he would definitely be angry, right?
Since it's a bad guy, then you have to take it down and then arrest it. And before that, you have to take a step to understand what happened to you and what happened to Crossbell.
As a breakthrough, Guy tried to find a dormitory for the Special Mission Support Section.
To make sure he was conclusive, the energetic man asked the whole city and then deduced the huge amount of data he had obtained...... I have to say, how meaningless and effective this is.
Everyone's impression of the support department is also very vague, the reason why I still remember some of it, it is all thanks to the work of the support department on weekdays, they are running around like guerrillas, completing commissions everywhere, and over time, the residents have a basic impression in their hearts, which is not something that Qiya can eliminate.
Combined with everyone's vague impressions, Guy found here.
Departmental Building of the Special Mission Support Section.
"Wow...... My brother seems to have become quite an amazing character after I died, so how can I be a good brother? What about the majesty of the eldest man? β
Guy grumbled as soon as he pushed the door open.
What presented to him was a desolate landscape.
I can see that I have tried to clean up, but it is still not good enough. Traces of the fight can be seen everywhere.
Guy closed the door, the rust smell of blood in the air was so thick that he was disgusted, and leaned down, although the floor had been scrubbed, black and red blood clots could be clearly seen in the cracks......
Traces of knife wounds can be seen everywhere on the walls, as well as blood, and it can be seen that it has been washed by water, causing the skin of the wall to peel off a little.
The first floor is obviously a hall, but there are no tables and chairs......
Guy's previous words were obviously full of self-deprecation.
He didn't know the details of the arrest of the Support Division, but looking at this hall, probably, it was here that he was arrested, right?
He thought so and continued to investigate the place.
The kitchen exudes a strong sense of life, and Guy casually picks up an apple from a chopping board, rushes and bites into his mouthβwithout the slightest sense of protecting the scene.
It seems that it has been used for a while now, this kitchen. In other words, the arrest of the Support Division is a recent thing. This matches my memory. After all, my memories have only recently appeared.
Then there's the meeting room.
Well...... Probably a very unreliable person in charge, right?
There are no documents on the desktop, and I don't know if I am not dealing with official business or if it has been cleaned up.
But the drawer under the desk is stuffed with books with drawings of beautiful sisters without clothes.
Well, it's obvious that you're not doing business or something.
From the second floor, it's probably everyone's room.
To confirm, Guy pushed open room by room.
The room with the red carpet and the clean tea table, presumably Ellie's. It is not surprising that the daughter of the mayor's family has the habit of drinking afternoon tea.
The two rooms full of Mixi's dolls are known at a glance to be a child's room, probably Theo's. I heard that she was imprisoned at the Medical University of St. Ullsla...... Let's hope Cecil can help her.
Lloyd's room was visible at a glance.
Because he had a group photo on his desk.
Guy, Cecil, and the young Lloyd......
"Ah...... Really, I grew so big before I knew it. But ......"
Guy looked for a mirror and compared it.
His own face has not changed.
It is true that five years will not make adults change much, but there will be no change at all, and it is impossible.
Well...... It seems that their time ...... It really should have been stopped five years ago.
Then there's the room with the red couch and plenty of good wine. What a hedonistic person.
There is also a room with a comfortable rocking chair and a view of tropical fish......
And also......
And also...... Forehead...... A room that won't be opened?
How strange is that...... Why can't this room be opened?
Guy looked at it, it was a room on the fourth floor, it was strange, as soon as he pushed the door, he could feel that Ben's handle was fixed by something......
Oh?
Locked?
This made Guy even more curious, and he opened the next room and climbed through the window......
It was a strange room.
The blue curtains were drawn tightly, Guy picked a gap, and the bed in the room was pink, revealing the smell of a girl, but there were no more decorations, extremely simple. Moreover, Guy's keen sixth sense has been conveying danger signals to him, indicating that there is a large amount of dangerous goods buried in this room......
Hey, isn't this the killer's room?
Guy expertly rolled over and pushed the window open.
"Huh?!"
The girl inside let out a small animal-like start, and Guy rolled into the room before she could react.
"Yo, sister-in-law......"
"Wow, ahhhh
Before Guy could finish speaking, the little girl slashed at him with a knife held high!
It's dangerous!
Guy leaned sideways and snatched the girl's sword with a slasher.
It's not that Guy is strong, it's just that this girl's swordsmanship is simply at the level of a layman...... Weak ones don't work......
"Wow......"
Seeing that the weapon she used to defend herself was taken away, the beautiful eyes of the girl with long and handsome hair like a pitch-black waterfall were full of horror.
"Wow whoa!"
As everyone knows, Guy also let out the same stupid scream, and his hands were funny gesturing around his body, and this gesture like a victim made the little girl stunned.
Taking advantage of this moment, Guy quickly raised his hands and took two steps back against the wall.
"I'm not hostile! Come on, can we talk? β
"Hey...... Huh? β
It seems to have calmed down, although the girl's body is still trembling, but at least, she didn't open the door and run away desperately.
"The ......"
Guy reached into his pocket, trying to see if there was a suitable prop for the relationship......
Nameplate...... No way.
Keychain ...... No way.
Fifty mila coins picked up on the road...... No way.
Candy...... No.
Ice cream sold in the supermarket next door...... Who would have nothing to do and put ice cream in their pocket?!
Amount......
"In short, I'm not hostile. That, I'm Guy, Guy Bannings. I'm looking for information on the Special Mission Support Section. So, may I ask you what's your name? β
ββ¦β¦ Bannings? β
The girl frowned slightly, and Guy breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that her brother is still quite popular here, and this girl will not make a fuss when she hears the surname Bannings.
"Yes, I'm Lloyd's brother, Guy? Bannings. β
ββ¦β¦ Guy? β
The girl repeated the name, and Guy suddenly had the illusion that he was meeting Tio, and if it weren't for the difference in hair color between the two, maybe he would have really confessed his mistake. After all, Guy's memory, sending Tio back to Remephilia was a "recent" thing.
"Well, I've already told you your name, what's your name, can you tell me?"
ββ¦β¦β
The girl lowered her head silently, as if she was thinking, and it seemed that she was simply afraid of life...... Guy crouched quietly in front of her, trying not to put pressure on her.
"Rui."
The girl finally said her name, and her voice was like a stream. (To be continued.) )
