When Mellen Warren walked into the factory's small conference room, he didn't know what was going to happen. Half a month ago, Gastens's forbidden spell magic completely changed Elena's state, and they who were originally going to evacuate stayed, but instead began to work overtime to produce. People who admire Elena, or fear the Grand Magus, or have other intentions are rapidly pouring into Elena, even though the troops in charge of immigration control have screened out most of the guests with bad intentions, but the number of serfs who defect to Elena is still increasing rapidly. Even though Elena had begun to take over the city and promote land reform in the province of Encspan, the serfs seemed to feel safe only if they entered Elena and were closer to Gastens. At the same time, the takeover of the city and the promotion of land reform have generated a large and strong demand for light industrial products, and the textile factory where Mellen works has resumed the rhythm of overtime production. At this time, he was interrupted by the section leader and called to the small conference room, and Melen was a little curious. What is it that can make the factory director and section leader accompany her and send her into this ordinary conference room.

"Coming?"

The person who questioned him was a man, dressed in the gray uniform of Elena's troops, which Mellen could tell at a glance that was made in their factory. She nodded at the man, then sat down nervously at the two soldiers standing behind him with guns and steam backpacks.

"Hello, I'm Demont Weez from the Anti-Investigation Bureau, a former police officer and a detective. I have invited Comrade Mellen here today to ask for some advice. ”

Counter-Investigation Bureau? The agency that catches spies and spies?

Mellen didn't react at once, she has been very satisfied since she came to Elena, and her daily life is extremely simple, from the factory to the dormitory, from the dormitory to the factory, and sometimes she will go to night school to teach everyone. She couldn't imagine that for what reason these people would find themselves.

"Hello Comrade Weiz, may I ask...... What is the reason why you are looking for me? ”

Meren looked at the expressionless man in front of him and suddenly thought of something. Could it be that this man is here for Daisy?

"I want to ask, what do you think about Daisy's killing?"

The man's voice was not loud, but it immediately reminded Melen of the woman who cared for her and Miss Luna. Although it is said to be the woman of Gastens the leader of this base, Daisy has no frame at all, and is not at all like the official wives that Mellen has ever seen. She is affable, hands-on, and even cares about Mellen's body and emotions. Like them, she lived in a four-person room, ate in a canteen, and wore simple clothes, if it wasn't for the confirmation that she was Daisy, Meren would never believe that a woman who was the leader of a force was so simple and ordinary.

“…… I...... I've told everyone before me what I know. ”

Meren wasn't lying, the investigation into the cause of Daisy's death began the day after the 82 Massacre, and she was once asked when she had last seen Daisy, and other things. After the first cross-examination, Mellen went through two cross-examinations before he gradually regained his calm. And today, for unknown reasons, the Anti-Investigation Bureau asked about this matter again.

"Who do you think might be the murderer?" , Demont Weiz was unhurried and continued to ask questions.

“…… I don't know, Daisy is very popular, everyone likes her very much, and no one will want to kill her. ”

"When was the last time you saw her?"

Hearing this, Melen frowned slightly. She had already answered this question three times, and she didn't know why, but these people even asked themselves to answer it.

"It was five or six nights before the 82 massacre, and she came back to rest, looking tired. At that time, it seemed that she was fighting the Luoshan crossing, and Daisy was very worried about Gastens and the defense of the Luoshan crossing, so she just stayed in the house for a few hours and disappeared. I haven't seen her since. ”

Demont Weiz nodded, jotting something down in the notebook in his hand. He looked up at Melen for a moment, and suddenly asked a somewhat strange question.

"Did you lose the sheets in your room?"

"Huh?"

Meren was a little confused by his question, what does it have to do with Daisy whether she lost her sheets or not? However, she also knew that the person in front of her was an anti-investigation bureau and could not afford to offend, so she recalled it and gave an answer.

"I don't seem to have lost my ......"

"Do you each have two sets of sheets? When not in use, where will the extra set be placed? ”

Demont Wez had already learned about the welfare of the comrades in the base, and the textile mill provided almost all of them with two sheets per person for washing. So, even if Merlen said that no one had lost the sheets, he had to make sure, after all, the killer might have replaced the sheets that wrapped Daisy with the changed sheets.

"It's in the cupboard, we wash the sheets every two weeks, it's all together, two weeks ago their sheets were there, now, I don't know......"

Mellen also knew what Demont cared about, and she gave the answer almost without much thought.

"So, is there something I can ask you for?" Without asking a few words, Demont stood up and seemed to lose interest in Mellen, "Can you help me go back and see, is any of you missing a set of sheets?" ”

"Okay."

Mellen nodded. It's about the mystery of Daisy's death, and she doesn't want to be half uncooperative. Just looking through the sheets in the cupboard, she didn't find it difficult.

"Okay, that's up to you, I'll come back to you tomorrow", Dermont Weez stood up and smiled in farewell. Mellen looked at his back and didn't speak for a long time.

——————————

In the evening, Mellen returns to the dormitory to find Luna, just like the previous day, waiting for her to eat. Somewhat moved, she hurriedly put down her things and followed Luna to the cafeteria. On the way, Luna exchanges some information with her and discusses it. In the past, Meren would have been glad that Luna had gradually adapted to the rhythm of Elena's life and talked to her about these ordinary girls, but today, she is always a little absent-minded. Seeing this, Luna asked directly.

"Meimei, do you have anything on your mind today?"

"Ah......h

"It's Daisy's business......"

"Daisy?!" Luna, who was slowly moving forward, suddenly stopped, and Melen could even feel Luna's body stiffen a little. She glanced at Luna, a little confused, just in time to see her smile apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Daisy is my best friend and the only friend I have, and suddenly mentioning her makes me miss her again."

As she spoke, Luna's eyes turned red. Seeing her like this, Melen also understood the eldest lady's sudden sorrow. After all, when the Mage Tower collapsed and Luna Brewster ran into walls everywhere and had no relatives, it was Daisy Richardson who took in the desperate Luna and gave her the right to live in Elena. I don't know what Luna thinks, but Meren herself loves Elena to death.

Thinking of this, Mellen's voice became more angry, "If I knew who killed Daisy, I would kill him!" ”

Luna looks at Meren in surprise, as if she doesn't understand Mellen's sudden anger. Meren sees Luna's gaze, but she doesn't hide her thoughts.

"Miss, I like it here, it makes me feel like a person, not someone or something. I say this, I hope you don't mind, even if you are no longer a slave, I will try to help you. ”

"Of course I wouldn't mind," Luna smiled softly and tactfully, "You said someone asked about you about Daisy today?" ”

"Well, I've answered the same content as before, several times."

For some reason, Mellen hid what Demont Weiz had mentioned about the sheets.

"Yes, I've been asked three times, and it seems that they haven't found the murderer yet......"

Luna sighed heavily and stopped talking. Melen knew she was in a bad mood and didn't want to say more. The two of them went to the cafeteria in silence, took a large enamel bowl with broth, took two rye cakes, and found a corner in the cafeteria and sat down. Because of Elena's victory in the revolution, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was very warm and everyone's mood was high. Mellen scanned it casually and found a lot of new faces. She knew that those were new to Elena. Since that forbidden spell, more and more people have heard the news and entered Elena, and they are gradually making up for the losses that the land has suffered due to the war.

Perhaps because of the suppressed emotions of Daisy, the dinner between the two of them was very silent. Raviel has recently made new friends at the factory and rarely eats with the two. Meren knew that she was still a little afraid of Luna and didn't want to see her. Luna didn't seem to mind the detachment and the silence during the meal, and she maintained the graceful gesture she had insisted on for many years, and after eating the food in front of her, which was not at all gorgeous and delicious, she went back to her dorm room with Mellen. The two of them chatted a few more words, and Luna went out for night school, while Merron waited for her to leave, and opened the cabinet where the dorm room had stored the sheets.

She wanted to see whose sheets were still there, and whose sheets were gone.

Daisy's cupboard was on top, and since she had had an accident, the contents had been taken away, and Melen didn't need to look at it. She knew by herself that the sheets were in good shape. Luna's cabinet is in her right hand, and she can pull it open. Mellen casually opened the cabinet door, but was suddenly stunned.

The sheet that had been placed at the bottom of the cabinet was gone.

Luna's sheets missing?

Mellen was suddenly stunned, what did it mean if Luna's sheets were missing? Although the detective from the Anti-Investigation Bureau didn't say it explicitly, since she asked her to find someone with missing sheets, does it mean that it has something to do with Daisy's death?

Meren subconsciously looked at Luna's sheets, and sure enough, she noticed that her sheets were very clean, and they didn't look like they had been used for two weeks. She stepped forward, lifted the blanket, and examined the sheet, which even had no flattened creases.

That's right, this is the sheet that was originally in the cupboard.

Mellen's hands were shaking, she didn't know why Demont was asking about the sheets, but she always had a vague bad idea. However, before she could see her thoughts, Luna squeaked and pushed the door in.

"Huh?"

Luna saw Mellen standing beside her bed, as well as the cabinet she had opened. Her hands shook slightly, frowned, and said in a voice that seemed to have found nothing.

"I got the wrong handout, come back and get it, didn't scare you, right?"

Mellen only then slightly restrained the horror on her face, she forced herself to calm down, and replied in a slightly trembling voice, "No...... It's okay, that ......."

Mellen's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Luna. However, knowing that she could not show any abnormalities at this time, she forced herself to take a look at Luna, only to find that Luna was staring at her hand on her bed. So, Mellen knew what she should say.

"That...... Isn't it time for us to wash the sheets, I want to see if you want to wash ......"

"Oh......"

Luna's eyes moved away from the sheets, and then at the open cabinet, and suddenly remembered the sheet that Martinez had used to wrap Daisy's body. A cold sweat broke out on her back. However, she didn't say much. She bit the tip of her tongue, feeling the salty taste in her mouth, took two steps forward, pulled her handout from the table, and turned away, without talking to Melen again. Meren watched Luna leave, stunned for a few seconds before slumping onto Luna's bed.

At that moment, she was almost scared to death!

Although I don't know what the sheets have to do with Daisy's death, Mellen always feels a little weird. She couldn't stay in the dorm room any longer, so she grabbed a coat and rushed out the door. She's going to the Anti-Investigative Bureau, she's going to tell Demont Weez that Luna's bed sheet is missing.

However, Mellen, who had just rushed out of the door, stopped again, did she really want to go?

That's Luna, she can't have anything to do with Daisy's death, right? Daisy is Luna's best friend, and Luna's only friend. Luna's sheets must have disappeared for some other reason, and if she went to the Anti-Investigation Bureau to report her, would it have a bad effect on her?

Myself, should I go?

After hesitating at the door for two seconds, Mellen still made up her mind. If Luna and Daisy's deaths had nothing to do with her, then the people from the Anti-Investigation Bureau wouldn't do anything to her. If so, then it is all the more necessary to tell the Anti-Investigation Bureau. After all, she likes Elena very much, and she doesn't just like this simple feeling for the master she has served for more than ten years, except for the emotions she is used to.

Meren, who had made up her mind, left the dormitory decisively, but what she didn't notice was that in the shadows behind her, a figure had already followed her.
