"It's a boring drama."

With that shabby glasses, a scruffy beard, and a very tasteless dress, he can even be called sloppy. Looking at the falling curtain, a look of disdain and contempt.

"Drama is drama, and there is no sense at all to appreciate and refer to reality...... A group of obscene writers made things up. ”

Then he took out a newspaper and began to read, just from his listless appearance, I knew that this person was not interested in opera and drama at all, just from his rustic dress and lack of aesthetic cells, it can be seen that this is a person who does not understand romance and imagination and dreams at all.

This is the person sitting in the front row of the first floor of the theater, Shutaz - the alchemist who is known as the first in the academic world to create a talking synthetic beast, and the man who serves as a bait to lure murderers in the theater today.

"It's been a long time, why haven't the people who are responsible for guarding me come yet?"

After reading the newspaper for a long time, Shutaz looked around in wonder, and found that the closest agents to him were more than twenty meters away, and he was a little surprised.

"Why are the police of the secret service so far away from me? How can I be kept safe? ”

Today is the tenth time this month that Shutaz has appeared at the Bill Theater at the request of someone above, and the purpose is to lure out the murderer who specifically targets the national alchemist.

For a month, every Sunday night, he would come to the theater alone to watch a boring play.

As a national alchemist who became a national alchemist by despicable means, it is naturally impossible for him to understand the kind of light contained in a drama that can ignite positive energy in the hearts of human beings, and in the eyes of people like him, the so-called drama is just a boring thing used to fool boring people to pass the time.

"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Shutaz, the funder and generous sponsor of this play, the national alchemist with the name of the alchemist who has the name of the alchemist, to give a speech~"

The loud voice of the playwright sounded, and the spotlight of the theater hit Shutaz at the same time, and the feeling of flamboyance and immodesty was almost as if everyone knew that there was a very sassy national alchemist here. And this is one of the important arrangements for bait fishing.

Let Shutaz be called a well-known figure in the Central Capital Region in the shortest possible time, and then let the murderers attack him.

These are all designed......

———————————— a month ago————————————————

"Is this the room?"

Looking at the office of the director of the Central Police Department in front of him, Shutaz looked dazed.

Seriously, he doesn't think he has anything to do with the Central Police Department, but ......

"Please come in, Mr. Shutaz, Your Excellency is waiting for you inside."

The adjutant at the door opened the door to Shutaz with a very professional smile, and then stood aside and waited for him to enter.

Seeing this posture, Shutaz felt that it was impossible for him not to go, so he walked in with a stomach full of questions.

"He went in."

Seeing that the guests walked into the room very cooperatively, the smile on the adjutant's face disappeared, and he calmly picked up the phone on the table and reported

"Let's send everything in according to the director's request."

………………

When you enter the house, the first thing that catches your eye is the huge sand table map of the city inside the house and the map of the security district of the capital region hanging on the wall.

And then there's the chair and desk under the map.

The whole desk was placed in the center of the room very flamboyantly and magnificently, giving people a majestic and exclusive momentum, so that Shutaz couldn't help but guess that this police director must be a guy who likes to show off.

"Are you Shutaz?"

In an inconspicuous corner of the room, a very beautiful secretary heard the footsteps of Shutaz, put down her book and greeted him

"Yes, I am."

Looking at this secretary, who exuded the air of a young lady and was very elegant in her speech and demeanor, and there was no lack of ability, Shutaz was jealous.

'What a director who will enjoy it, even the secretary is so beautiful. ’

And the look of jealousy and envy in his eyes when he stared at the secretary naturally couldn't escape the secretary's eyes.

"Please come into the office, Your Excellency the new director generally does not like to be in this large office, and likes to meet guests in the study."

Then smile professionally and make a gesture of please.

"Yes, okay."

Then he followed the secretary to the study on the side.

"May I ask the Superintendent ...... me?"

Since the corridor connecting this large office and the study is not short, Shutaz has the opportunity to ask the secretary in advance to be prepared.

"It's mainly about the current one who specializes in assassinating the national alchemist, and the secondary one is about an old case from the past, let's talk about it in the study, Mr. Shutaz."

Hearing the secretary talk about a past case, Shutaz's eyes once again showed a look of panic and worry.

"Yes...... Is that so? I understand. ”

'Shouldn't that be the case?' Probably not, right? ’

Although he tried his best to hide it, because he had not seen the director relax a little, and the topic came up too suddenly, this tension and anxiety had already been revealed in his slightly trembling voice.

"What's wrong with you? Mr? ~”

Halfway through, the secretary noticed that Shutaz behind him suddenly lost his mind, and stopped to wait for him.

"Ah...... Nothing, really nothing. ”

By this time, he began to retreat, because the secretary's words made him a little scared, afraid that the past would come out.

"Are you not feeling well?"

Without rushing the other party, the silver-haired secretary lady walked back to Shutaz very understandingly, looking at his slightly sweaty and pale face.

"Do you want me to pour you a cup of coffee?" Maybe a warm cup of coffee can make you feel a little more comfortable~"

It shows a very nurturing, sunny and caring smile.

"Ah, then please."

It had been a long time, and Shutaz, who had not touched a woman for a long time, was fascinated by the virtuous behavior and noble and beautiful appearance of this beautiful secretary, and for a moment he actually forgot his fear and anxiety, and his voice no longer trembled.

"Then please sit here for a moment, I will pour you a hot cup of coffee, do you need to add sugar?"

"No, no sugar, my teeth are not good."

'It would be nice to marry another wife like this, it seems that her family must be well-off, so that many things will not happen......

After a short time, Shutaz, who was sitting in the hallway, looked up at the ceiling, fantasizing about the beautiful wife he could marry, and after waiting for a while, the smell of fragrant coffee wafted in.

"Give ~ a cup of coffee with milk without sugar~"

Smelling along the scent, it is the girl's very elegant perfume and the fragrance of shampoo, because I don't understand these things, Shutaz can only judge that this perfume is very warm and elegant, but I can't tell what brand and variety it is, and I don't want to know.

"Thank you."

His attention had long been fascinated by the beauty and seductive posture of the secretary.

…………

"That's it...... Did Mr. Shutaz's wife run away from home? ”

Sitting in the corridor, with a cup of coffee, a middle-aged man who was extremely sloppy and an angel on earth sat together very incongruously, drinking coffee. Because the young secretary was very talkative and energetic, after a while Shutaz became acquainted with her, and began to talk about her past.

"Well...... It's been two years, and ...... count."

Then I thought back to that rainy day, the day when I made up my mind......

"It's two months away from that day......"

Leisurely, Shutaz said

"Is it the day your wife runs away from home?"

The secretary's voice was soothing and gentle, like a warm spring breeze, which made Shutaz feel light, and he wanted to make this time longer and longer.

"Yes, it was a day of heavy rain, the first heavy rain of early summer, and my wife left me...... Leaving my daughter and me behind. ”

"On days when the rain was pouring, my lover Xiao Suo left...... Leaving the beloved man and daughter to depend on each other...... It's really sentimental. ”

"yes, I really don't want her to leave us if I could......"

For his wife, Shutaz is not without feelings, but ......

"But there was no way, we were too poor at that time, I was too poor."

Thinking of the poor days when he had to count even the amount of bread he had to eat, Schutaz felt shame and heartache, and this pain was more intolerable than the loss of his wife.

"Poor? Aren't all national alchemists subsidized? ”

Miss Secretary asked innocently

"My wife left before I obtained my national alchemist qualification, and we were poor at that time."

Saying this, Shutaz looked at the secretary on the side

"Miss Secretary, do you know what it's like to not have enough to eat every day?"

Miss Secretary shook her head

"Do you know what it's like to be chased by your landlord for rent every month, and when you are cut off by the telephone company and the power company?"

The secretary still shook her head

"So, when your parents and family are sick but you don't have the money to see a doctor, you can only watch your loved ones die?"

The secretary still shook her head

"I've been through all of this, my wife has been through it, we've all had enough of being poor, we don't want to put up with it anymore, so ...... She's gone......"

"But it's a pity, if only your wife had waited until you got your qualification."

seems to be holding grievances for this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and the secretary's eyes show sadness and sympathy.

"Presumably you also have a strong stimulus to yourself because of the departure of your wife, so you ......"

Saying this, the corners of the eyes of the kind-hearted secretary were moist, and she looked at the injured middle-aged man with a smile of comfort and encouragement.

"You studied hard and got the national alchemist qualification, right?"

"Ah...... No, no, no. ”

I didn't expect that the secretary's tear ducts and feelings were so rich, and seeing that her 'complaint' made the beautiful lady cry, Shutaz, who was inexperienced in this area, instantly panicked

"I qualified shortly after my wife left, and it had nothing to do with my subsequent efforts...... Yes! ”

Realizing that he had made a mistake, Shutaz hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at the secretary worriedly, fearing that she would find out the problem, but seeing that this kind and compassionate secretary only gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a hand towel, she couldn't help but feel that she was making a little fuss again.

'It's just a girl and you're not a police inspector, you're too neurotic, Shutaz. ’

I blamed myself for two sentences, comforted myself, and then recovered again

"But since you left because of poverty, there is still hope, isn't there? ~”

The secretary wiped away tears and continued

"Now that Mr. Shutaz has obtained the qualification of a national alchemist, and his life has changed for the better, I believe that your wife will definitely change her mind and return to your side after knowing this, right? ~”

"This ...... I don't think so. ”

There was no way he could come back, his wife, and he knew that very well.

"Don't worry too much~ It's normal for a woman to run away from home because of some wayward things, one of my bosses and a professional household who has been running away from home since he was a child, and then he grew up and became sensible, didn't he obediently run home and recognize his family? ~”

"But that's my wife......"

It's not a child

"It's the same with my wife, my father and mother are divorced, but they still think about each other, and the most important thing is the child~"

As she spoke, Miss Secretary innocently pointed at herself.

"Children are an important link between father and mother, is the last hope for family harmony, even if the relationship is bad after marriage, for the sake of the child, the average parent will finally reconcile, after all, you are not divorced, just separated~"

"Yes, children are very important things......"

Thinking of the second report and research results that he had never found, Shutaz's eyes revealed a strange light.

"Children are the hope of parents, and the wishes that parents can't realize may still need their children to realize in the end."

Now, Shutaz is no longer wary of the gentle secretary in front of him, who is rich in culture and feelings, can a young lady who can be moved to tears by listening to other people's stories understand his thoughts and hearts?

But it might be nice to have a chat with such a pretty girl once in a while. ’

Shutaz thought it was great to have met this secretary today, he hadn't had such a happy chat for a long time as he had today.

"But does it really matter? We've been talking here for a long time. ”

Although he was happy, Shutaz knew that time could not be delayed any longer.

"I'm afraid it's not good to have the director wait for us for so long, right?"

In fact, this is also where Shutaz moved, to know that he is just an outsider, it naturally doesn't matter, but Miss Secretary, she has to stay here for a long time, if she delays time, I'm afraid ......

"Haha~ Mr. Shutaz, thank you for your concern, but this is a bit redundant~"

It seems that I heard some very funny joke. It's rare for the secretary to hold her stomach and smile without a look.

"The Superintendent of Police is a person with full cultivation and patience and courtesy~"

With that, the two of them almost walked to the study that was far away.

"Although sometimes forced by the environment to be a little violent and occasionally funny, but for things at work, I have always been conscientious and willing to spend effort and time on the work~"

Pushing open the door, the two entered the house.

Sure enough, it was a room full of books, and it was no different from a normal study except for the larger one.

There is an elegant wooden desk in the room, all kinds of oil paintings and watercolors are hung in the room, and the bookshelves and bookcases are neatly arranged, and the whole room looks efficient and vibrant, that is, atmospheric and not pretentious. The whole feeling is downright and generous, just like the feeling that this secretary gives people.

"It seems that you have a lot of trust in the Inspector General."

Seeing the direction of the chair with the brigadier general's uniform, which was undoubtedly the desk of the Superintendent's office, Shutaz couldn't help but want to say a few more words to the beautiful secretary.

"Trust? Of course. ”

“？”

Although the voice is still the same voice, and the person is still the same person,

But the tone of speech seemed to change suddenly, and at this moment, the aura and temperament of the whole person seemed to have changed.

The change in an instant was so huge that Shutaz was a little unable to adapt.

"As a senior civil servant in this country......"

Chic and handsomely put the set of military uniforms placed in front of the desk behind him, and generously put it in front of the desk.

"The Inspector General of Police, personally appointed by the President......"

Habitually chattering a little about the ends of the silver-white hair.

"The boss of this national police agency"

The slightly raised corners of the mouth and the gaze are so different.

"Elite ...... who need to fight all day long against the pervasive criminals and hostile elements"

The corners of his eyes, which were still a little ruddy just now, are now completely indistinguishable from crying.

"You should always have confidence in yourself, right? ~”

With a wicked smile that has succeeded in the conspiracy, where is the kind and compassionate and gentle secretary sitting at the desk with his legs crossed?

This is simply a big bad wolf who takes off his lamb's coat and reveals his true face!

………… No, the big bad wolf never spends so long playing with its prey, and is accustomed to playing with and washing its prey, and uses its own wisdom and cunning as a weapon to play with its prey in applause, we call it ......

'Fox. ’

This was the characterization that Shutaz made at this time about the silver-haired woman sitting at the desk in front of him.

"Your eyes tell me that you just made a not very elegant one to me, which does not meet the definition of a lady's image~"

Holding his head in one hand, tilting his head, squinting at his long eyeliner, he stared evilly at the man in front of him who had already been touched by himself, at this time in front of the white-haired fox lady, this man was as if he was wearing nothing, and his mental activities and way of thinking had been understood at a glance.

"But I don't hate this definition and nickname that everyone gives me~ This is everyone's affirmation of my wisdom and cleverness, and in itself, ......"

As she spoke, Miss Fox really took out two white fluffy foxes from the drawer and touched the back of the toy very fondly.

"I like white-haired foxes very much~"

"That...... That ......"

In a short period of time, Shutaz's back was already soaked with his own sweat, he regretted it, he regretted it very much, he really regretted it now why he said so many fatal words just now, so much information that he had no way to recover and make up for now

"It's rude that I haven't introduced myself after talking for so long."

Seeing that the other party's current appearance was almost as she expected, Miss Fox put the toy back in the drawer and changed it into a real police inspector's face

"Elle McDowell, the Chief of the Central Police Surveillance Department under His Excellency the President, the Chief of the Central Police Special Service Section, and the First Class Captain of the Mobile Special Police Unit."

"It's a pleasure to recognize...... Recognize ......"

"Although I don't care if there is a chance in the future, I still have to remind you, Mr. Shutaz~"

Then the identity changed instantly, and she became a playful girl again, squinting at one eye, and the beautiful fingers on the side of her mouth were shaking back and forth

"Don't talk too much with strangers~"

The squinted eyes opened, and it was the gaze of a carnivore that grabbed its prey

"It will be taken away by the cunning fox~"
