"Immediately suspend the performance of the new play, otherwise the Flame Dancing Queen will usher in a tragedy - Silver"

That's what the threat letter is about.

No matter how you look at it, it's the kind of harassing letter sent by an unknown dancer, a theater troupe, or something for the purpose of jealousy or something.

It's impossible to stop a new drama with this kind of thing. If the troupe leader really stopped performing new plays because of this kind of thing, he wouldn't do it.

You took the letter and reviewed the contents of the letter over and over again.

If it weren't for the fact that the signature [Silver] was indeed a mysterious assassin from the East, I'm afraid that Lixia would only regard it as an ordinary harassing letter.

Seeing You's solemn expression, Illya shrugged her shoulders with lack of interest and continued to play with the chain box on stage. Humanity has always longed for a world they can't tread. Couldn't live underwater, so humans learned to swim and dive. Can't soar in the sky, so humans invented airships.

Yu's chainbox gave Illya the thrill of flying, and Illya felt that the chainbox was more valuable than the worthless threat letter.

"Do you see anything?"

Because Yu has been silent, Noelle asked a little funny, on the one hand, he wanted to see Yu Tatsumi make a fool of himself, and on the other hand, he didn't want to support the defeat of Ko. It's really tangled......

"Well, anyway, let's make a record first."

Yu took out her police manual, because she had been working with Ellie before, and she recorded all these trivia. Now that I'm working on my own, without the role of this clerk, You is still a little uncomfortable for a while.

Ellie is indeed this kind of person, although she is a little inconspicuous at work, but it is precisely because of her strong ability that she will not make mistakes that people will not pay more attention to her, if it is an unorthodox guy like Randy, no one will think he is inconspicuous.

"Hmph."

Noelle leaned in curiously, only to see You writing a lot of things as if listing keywords.

・Silver's identity: An assassin from the Republic of Calvard in the East, known for assassinating political dignitaries who oppose immigrants from the East.

・Possibility that this letter is written in silver: almost 0. Core reason: Illya and the Rainbow Theatre have nothing to do with anti-Eastern immigrants in the Republic of Calvard. Reason 2: Silver rarely leaves the Republic of Calvard.

・Speculation on the purpose of this letter:

・1. Confusing the public and using it to blur the line of sight of a search section so as to carry out other activities. Likelihood: almost zero. Because the Rainbow Troupe has no trace of the investigator coming.

・2. Assassinate Illya. Likely: Medium.

・3. Destroy the new drama of the Rainbow Theater Troupe. Likely: Lower. Rationale: It is impossible for the Rainbow Theatre to suspend a performance because of this letter.

・4. Other reasons. Likely: Extremely high. Investigation into this possibility should continue. Reason: The name silver is only circulated among a few people, and since the other party knows the name, he should be ready to use the name silver to do something.

・Reasoning [If I'm sending the letter]: The biggest possibility is to blame Silver, and the target of the enemy may not be Illya or the Rainbow Troupe, but someone else.

・When the new drama is rehearsed, a valuable target who will play the play: [Black Moon] Li Cao. President Rubaccher Markney. 【Mayor】Mr. Henry. 【Speaker】Mr. Harman. 【Speaker Son】Xiu Gongzi.

・For reference only.

“…… I always feel that you are writing this report with an unexpected sense of reality......"

Noelle had a speechless expression.

Originally, I thought that You would stare at the letter because he had no ideas, but he thought about it so much! It's really amazing that you can guess so much information from a single letter!

"Well, and then?"

He Xu asked excitedly, children are children, and they were still immersed in the grief of separating from their friend Theo just now, and they became excited as soon as they arrived at the scene of the crime. Can't wait to urge Yu Tatsumi to investigate.,For children outside Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture,The police are the scenery encountering all kinds of wonderful things.,And then unscathed, the victory to solve the mystery, and finally the lover who pulls the wind to spend the sweet second half of his life.,It's probably such a profession.。

Of course, the gap between reality and imagination is always ridiculously wide.

You didn't mind Hexu's excitement, compared to the excitement of a child, a teammate around him who was ready to find evidence to arrest him at any time was more threatening.

"How about we go to the Black Moon and see?"

"Black ...... Month? ”

He Xu tried to pronounce the name in an oriental style, and then laughed: "How can the moon be black?" ”

"Well, let's just go and ask them. Going? ”

"Go, go! Sounds like a lot of fun! ”

He Xu's happy hands were raised high. Noelle showed a worried look, and it was hard to say, she stood on tiptoe and leaned into You's ear: "Is this good?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Black Moon is a mafia, right, are we really okay in the past?"

Isn't it really dangerous for us to go? Noelle really meant this. She is very confident in herself and You's ability, but one thing to note is that Hexu is just an ordinary child, without the temperament of a little adult like Theo, she is really a complete child, if there is really a war, I am afraid she will be very dangerous.

"Hehe, don't worry about ......"

Yu's smile is a little dangerous, if it is a stage play and someone makes this expression, then he must undoubtedly be the villain! And it's the last big boss! It's such a dangerous smile.

"Even if it's the Black Moon, it will sell the face of the uncrowned wind. And...... Li Cao is very smart. Rest assured, I promise we'll be entertained. ”

――――――――――――――

"Quite a superior tea. Maybe it's more than my salary. ”

Yuki Tatsumi, who was holding the tea, gently blew the hot air on the mouth of the cup, and the fresh aroma of black tea instantly spread throughout the room.

"Hehe, which side of the salary are you talking about?"

"Over there, of course."

"Oh, oh, that's an honor."

Two foxes, one big and one small, were drinking tea and talking confusing things.

The current location is the VIP room of the Black Moon Trading Company in Crossbell City, and sure enough, as You speculated, Li Cao entertained the three of them according to the best specifications.

Sitting on the soft leather sofa, Li Cao personally brewed the most precious tea.

"I heard that in the Far Eastern country of Saiyalu, there is a custom called 'tribute tea', where the best tea leaves are offered to the royal family, I don't know, how much work is still missing in the tea?"

The big fox Li Cao pushed his glasses, and the wonderful thing was that even in the hot air of the tea, his glasses were still not stained with water vapor. You noticed that he secretly released his fighting qi without a trace, and the fighting qi formed an isolation layer on the surface of the glasses, and the moisture of the tea did not touch the glasses at all.

Is it a hint to me, don't underestimate the black moon? I'm really underestimated, I'm not the kind of stupid person.

The little fox Yu Tatsumi said in his heart, but with an ordinary expression on his face, he discussed the topic of tea with him.

"I haven't drunk tribute tea, but Mr. Li Cao's tea art should indeed be qualified to make tribute tea."

"Oh, oh, what an honor. It's a great honor to be able to enter the eyes of Lord Feng. ”

"My surname is You."

"Sorry, sorry, I misremembered."

"It doesn't matter, noble people forget a lot of things, like Mr. Li Cao is so noble, I'm afraid that I will forget a lot, such as the purchase channel or something."

What is lobbying is that after Black Moon adopted a comprehensive contraction tactic, three important purchase channels were taken away by Lubacher, not sabotage, but taken away. This act of cowardice has made Rubacher even more lawless lately. The search department also had a headache for this.

However, You probably guessed Li Cao's strategy. Unlike Lloyd, he has been keeping a close eye on the movements of Crossbell's underground. As a tactician, he was well aware of the importance of "intelligence".

Self-cutting of hands and feet is often reminiscent of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but Li Cao did not use such a simple strategy. Rather, by destroying the situation that had originally reached equilibrium, feeding one of them well, causing the other forces to worry about it, and finally uniting to defeat the side that was strong enough to destroy the balance first.

It's really a good strategy, and it's really thrilling. This ploy is not played well, but I am afraid that the black moon will be swallowed up all of a sudden. But the Black Moon didn't. This shows that the Black Moon has chosen the right time.

Every year, Rubacher has a "stolen goods auction", with his own big backstage: Speaker Harman as a shield, and openly sells stolen goods under the noses of the police. At this time of the year, Rubacher adopts a policy of contraction and prepares for the auction with all his might. Li Cao chose this time period.

At this time, even if Lu Bacher discovers Black Moon's self-cutting hands and feet, he will be afraid of the intervention of the Search Section, and choose to let Black Moon go for the time being, of course, the fat delivered to the door must be eaten. With this buffer, Li Cao firmly believes that it is enough for Lu Bacher to grow.

The fatter the pig, the more meat it will get after killing.

"Ahh We're Black Moon, but we've been hit badly. By the way, can you apply for your support section to protect us? After all, we're good foreign friends, and there's the Anti-Unfair Competition Law or something -- I'm sorry, I forgot that Crossbell didn't have that law. ”

Li Cao did not show weakness and immediately replied sarcastically.

Noelle was so angry that he almost wanted to curse, and you patted her on the back to signal her to calm down, only to get an angry white eye.

"However, I heard that Black Moon has a very reliable bodyguard, from the East, whose name seems to be related to precious metals, such as gold, silver, maybe mercury or something."

Noelle chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart: Finally, we have reached the point. These two people are all kinds of gossip, are they finally going to get to the point this time?

"Huh? Is there such a person! It's amazing. ”

was prevaricated by Li Cao. No, it's prevarication, and it's not quite right. He didn't pretend to be troubled, and there was no doubt in his voice. He just wanted to make a joke, and he used a joke to spy on You.

"Yes. I heard that you Black Moon seems to have spent a lot of money? ”

"Sa, who knows, I'm just a small clerk."

Li Cao stretched out his little finger, as if to imply that he was an inconspicuous existence like a little finger.

"Speaking of which, how well does your company keep your employees' personal information confidential?"

"I don't know, but I'm personally satisfied. For example, mine actually unexpectedly likes to do nail art, and no one else knows about this kind of thing. ”

"Then, the employee who doesn't even know about you, the person in charge, shouldn't anyone else know?"

You tried to get the information you wanted.

Li Cao's kung fu of pretending to be stupid is also quite good, and he is very good at teasing the enemy, and You now suddenly wants to rush over and punch his glasses.

Li Cao frowned as if he was thinking about something, but soon, he reverted to his fox style.

"Well, probably not."

"yes, then let's take our leave......

Yu left the Black Moon Company with Noelle and Hexu.

Doorway......

"What, that guy! I really want to arrest him! ”

Noelle vented her frustration fiercely. The members of the righteous garrison and the boss of the mafia, it is understandable that water and fire are incompatible.

"He Xu hates that person! Let's take out the snacks after serving the tea! ”

"Yes, is that the problem?"

In the face of Hexu's puffing cute expression, even the strict Noelle couldn't say anything.

"Hehe, a snack? So, let's go for a snack. ”

You smiled and made a suggestion.

"Oooh! Hexu is going! ”

"Hey, I said, work hard!"

――――――――――

On the other side, Li Cao watched the three of them leave from the window, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a weird smile.

"Liu!"

Li Cao suddenly shouted. With a hula sound, Li Cao's loyal subordinates, Liu came in.

"I'm here."

"Go hunt down the surrounding Rubacher spies, remember...... Leave a few alive to report back. ”

"Yes."

"Hehe, uncrowned wind. This is information comparable to an ace, how to use it? President Markney, see you're not dead this time? ”
