Chapter 17: A Restless Morning

Early in the morning, the Special Mission Support Section gathered around the table for breakfast.

Although the number of people was greatly reduced, You Chensi and Noelle left one after another, making the team of seven people suddenly become two, but subtlely, Lloyd didn't even think there was anything strange about this.

It's as if the two of them were originally irrelevant outsiders.

Today's breakfast was made by Qi Ya, this kid is rare to be tough today, and he has to cook for the support department who is tired all day, and no one else is allowed to help.

This strict attitude towards cooking reminds everyone of Yutatsumi, who always regards the kitchen as a holy place. And the food served by Qi Ya made them miss this colleague with good skills.

It's hard to imagine a high-level meal that can be done by a child on his own. Although it is just a simple omelet bacon, the control of the heat and the use of condiments make it difficult to find fault.

Do the memories of cooking remain in your body?

In other words, maybe Kia was born into a family of chefs.

Silently taking this information to heart, Lloyd cut off a piece of omelette again and put it in his mouth.

Jingle Bell -

Out of place, Lloyd's Anigma screamed, giving everyone an apologetic look, and Lloyd picked up the communication.

"Hey, here'......"

"Yo, Dior, yesterday the Black Moon was attacked, are you okay over there- well, of course you're okay, I want to ask, is the cargo okay?"

It was a voice that Lloyd hadn't heard much.

As soon as the human voice is converted by the machine, it will change slightly, and even if it is a very familiar person, if it is the first time to communicate with the machine, there will be a sense of strangeness.

It sounded like a mismade call.

In this flirtatious tone, Lloyd tried to ask, "Lancet?" ”

"Huh? For Mao will put Mistress Mussel - no, you are not Dior? Who are you? ”

It seems, it's Muselle's newsletter.

"Well, you may have dialed the wrong number. I'm Lloyd from the Special Assignments Support Section. ”

"Ah, I'm sorry about that. That's a bother. ”

As he spoke, he cut off the communication by talking to himself.

However, Mussel mentioned the exciting news.

"Black Moon...... Was it attacked? ”

Frowning, he unconsciously began to mumble key words.

There is no reason for Mussel to make a mistake in the communication to let himself know, so he probably really accidentally made a mistake. If you're not careful, I'm afraid [Black Moon Attack] is real. And Dio was also at the scene of the crime.

"Black Moon attacked?"

Ellie asked kindly, hoping that he could say more information.

"Well, I just received a communication from the Karuman consortium, Mussel, which seems to say that the Black Moon was attacked yesterday. And Dior was also on the scene, and it seemed that he was still carrying 'goods'. ”

"Hey, it's going to attack that Black Moon...... It's not just ...... Hey, it can't really be Rubacher, right?! ”

There was a deep emotion in Randy's helpless voice.

"If you care, you can go too."

Suddenly, a lazy voice came through.

Chief...... So you're there......

Sergai's elusive kung fu went up another level, quietly came to the table of the support department, and then suddenly opened his mouth to startle everyone.

Now that he had received the approval of the section chief, Lloyd nodded lightly: "Yes." Yes, sir. ”

――――――――――

Before you know it, it's already dawn.

Noelle didn't feel how hard it was to stay up late, but he still felt a little nostalgic. Working in the garrison, it's normal to stay up late.

Although the body sends a signal of fatigue, it does not send a signal that it cannot persevere. However, the corners of my eyes are a little dry, probably because I was busy working at the explosion site, and the dry air made my eyes dehydrated.

Last night, with the assistance of the security team, Ursla Medical University was quickly back on track.

After determining the detonation point and the scope of the explosion, a judgment was immediately made and the conclusion was: one: this is a man-made blasting case. Two: There are no medicines in the hospital that may explode again, so you can go back with peace of mind.

If this mad man still wants to cause another explosion, then it is useless to hide anywhere, it is better to stay in the hospital in peace. This is Noelle's conclusion.

And, if nothing else......

This explosion should have been done by Yu Tatsumi, who was unconscious in the car.

With the help of the male team, he was stripped of his clothes, and the sharp decorations on his bodyβ€”like the marvelous mask, like the quaint pendantβ€”were set aside, covered with a team member's overcoat as a quilt, and lay quietly on the seat of the armored car.

Noelle spent the night in the institute looking for something that might determine the identity of the murderer. Even when Joachim woke up, he randomly found someone from the search and rescue team to inquire.

Deep down, Noelle didn't want to believe that he had done it.

But no evidence could be found that he did not do it.

As a result, she can only let herself act, and use busyness to deprive herself of time to think.

A few moments later, the guards wearing thick protective suits returned to the scene.

"Report, Sergeant. Dr. Joachim said he had no information about the killer. At the time of the incident, he was examining a child named Evan. The inspection was completed, and on the way back to him, he experienced an explosion. ”

"So, what about Yu Tatsumi?"

He said that he didn't know, he arranged You Tatsumi in the research institute, but there has been no progress on his comatose state, but he said that You Tatsumi couldn't wake up last night, and it should have nothing to do with him. He was very worried about Yu Tatsumi's disappearance. ”

"That's right."

Noelle nodded, and waved his hand to get him back to investigate.

Noelle didn't know if he was doing the right thing.

concealed the information that You Chensi was actually in the car, and at the same time ordered the companions who saw it to keep their mouths tight.

Perhaps, he really felt that he was not the one who would do such a thing, right?

Noelle shook his head, put aside everything in his mind for a while, and used fatigue as an excuse to return to his armored car outside the hospital.

Yu Tatsumi. I'm willing to believe you...... However, I also have my discipline. If you don't wake up after another hour...... I'm sorry, but I'll have to report you to the brim.

――――――――――――

"Mr. Cao, there is really a lot of trouble today. If it's convenient, we'd appreciate you providing more detailed information. In this way, we can help you even more. ”

In the shattered Black Moon Company, Dudley Investigator is speaking what seems to be a meaningless official statement. Today, as always, he has smart short hair and a dark blue suit, and he maintains a serious and elite style as always. Although he didn't think that the Black Moon group, especially the fox-like young man in front of him, would provide him with any useful information.

"Hehe, thank you so much. However, it was late at night, and we really didn't know who the attackers were or why they targeted our company. ”

Sure enough, the person in charge of Black Moon, Li Cao pretended to be innocent, and his relaxed smile was simply mocking in Dudley's eyes.

Last night, Black Moon was attacked by an unknown force. The perimeter of the building has been almost shot into a hornet's nest, but the environment inside is rarely damaged. It's hard to understand what's going on. Judging by the bullet holes, the enemy's main armament is a heavy machine gun, and with this weapon as an opponent, it is not impossible to win, but it is really strange not to leave bullet holes.

Dudley paused for a moment and decided to try this as a breakthrough.

"That being said, your company's defense is really good. How, exactly, did it do when the opponent was armed with heavy machine guns? ”

Come on, let me see, what you will say.

Dudley calmly pushed his glasses.

In such a doubtful place, it is impossible for Black Moon not to give an answer. As long as he answers, he can follow the vine and lead to more clues.

Unexpectedly, Li Cao looked confident.

"Oh, actually, I'm curious."

"Oh? In other words, are your subordinates fighting back without you? ”

"No, no, it's not. It's just that it was the big man of the Karumon consortium who repelled the enemy. You know, we're ordinary citizens, and we're trembling when we hear the gunshots-by the way, I was hiding here~"

Li Cao grinned and pointed to his desk.

Trick the devil to go.

Dudley cursed in his heart.

This situation is really depressing.

Dudley knew that Li Cao was hiding this guy deeply, and he also knew that this guy was excellent in martial arts, and he even knew that Black Moon was not a serious company, and he even knew that the attacker was Lu Bacher.

However, it is useless to know.

This is the search officer, this is the police. If there is no evidence, then even if it is clearly known, nothing can be done. That's why he had to ask Li Cao with the same attitude as he treated friendly citizens.

In the same way, Li Cao must have known that Dudley knew all this. That's why he is so provocative one after another.

His attitude is obvious: the police should not mix things between the mafia.

It's a coincidence, though. Yesterday, when Li Cao was showing his skills to defeat Rubacher's attackers, the [aid] he was bent on came. Dior came to the door with [merchandise]. So, Li Cao easily pushed this matter to him.

Karumen: That's a more slippery guy than me~~ I don't believe he's going to tell you any useful information casually.

Li Cao's thoughts were evident on his face.

Dudley could only snort angrily, unable to react further.

Just when the atmosphere is getting more and more awkward.

"Excuse me. We're in. ”

With that, Lloyd Bannings arrived, with his companion from the Special Mission Support Section.
