Chapter 12 The Disappearing Regular Ship
"Huh, where has Sister Sherra gone?" asked Istelle, confused.
"She had other things to do. Reilly smiled and said, "You two, how is the investigation?"
"There are already a lot of clues. Joshua said.
"Let's talk about it. Reilly nodded and asked, "First of all, the prisoner's target?"
"As Mr. Reilly had expected, the prisoner was coming for the Qiyao Stone. Joshua said, "They sprinkled a special powder on the panel of the safe and stole the code. Therefore, I think the other party is one of the people who has visited recently. β
"So, what about the number of prisoners?"
"Groups of three or four people. β
"Where did the prisoners come from?"
"The main entrance was not damaged, there was a new scratch on the handrail of the balcony. Therefore, I think the prisoners came in directly from the second floor. β
"Hehe, well done. Reilly smiled and said, "Now I'll wait for news from Sheila." β
After a while, Sherazadeh ran back with a grimace and said, "That guy has checked out, and she's not on a scheduled boat." β
Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Since the other party is a group crime, there will definitely be a temporary base." Well, you can search the Mystic Forest, and I'll look for it in the Maruga Mine. β
"Good. Shelazad nodded.
"Is that okay?" said Estelle, puzzled, "If the prisoner is found, there will be a fight, right?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. Shelazad smiled and said, "Even if the three of us are combined, we will not be Raleigh's opponents." β
"Hey~~~?" Estelle said in surprise, "So Mr. Reilly is so strong......"
"This is the strength of an A-class guerrilla. Joshua said.
After assigning the task, everyone divided into two teams and began to move.
After arriving at the Maruga Mine, Reilly did not look for the traces of the prisoners, but hid in a hidden cave and observed Joster and the others through the eyes of dragonflies.
In fact, when she broke into the mayor's mansion, Reilly remembered the identity of the girl.
"It's time for the Capua family to leave the game, so let Estelle and the others absorb some experience. β
In the end, although Estelle and the others defeated the bandits, they were attacked by enemy airships at the last moment, and they could only watch as Joster and his gang fled.
"I really didn't expect that the prisoner turned out to be an air thief...... "Aina shook her head and said, "There is no way to escape by them." β
"No, I was too careless this time, that's why I became like this. Sherazadeh sighed and said.
"It's not Sister Sheila's responsibility. Estelle's mood was also a little low: "It's all because I'm too impulsive......"
"I made a mistake too. Even Joshua, who had always been calm, looked a little annoyed at this time.
"In the circumstances, it was already a great thing to be able to retrieve the stolen items. Reilly smiled and said, "Aina, do you think they can be recommended?"
"Well, of course. Aina said with a smile.
"Recommended?"
"This is it. Aina took out an envelope and handed it to Istelle.
"ThisβThis is ......"
"Right now, you're still in the stage of being a quasi-guerrilla. Reilly pointed to the letter and said, "If you want to become a guerrilla, you must obtain letters of recommendation from various branches. β
"The one just now is a letter of recommendation from the Lorente branch. Aina said with a smile.
"But, can you? leave this to us......" Estelle was a little embarrassed.
"Are we good enough to be a guerrilla?" asked Joshua.
"Everybody's seen your performance. Reilly nodded and said, "But that's not enough. β
"You have to keep working hard to get letters of recommendation from other branches. Sherazade said, "Perth, Luan, Chase, and the royal capital Grantelle." β
"So, you still have a long way to go. Reilly said with a smile.
"But I'm so happy!" said Estelle, happily, "and the hard work has paid off!"
At this time, the communication device behind the counter rang.
"What?!" Hearing the news from the other side, Aina exclaimed, and then said, "Got it, I'll notify the family...... It doesn't matter, they are guerrillas themselves...... Well, if there is any news, please contact as soon as possible. β
"What's the matter, Sister Aina?" asked Istelle, confused.
"It's rare to see you so surprised. Reilly smiled and said, "By the way, where did this contact come from?"
"It's the Perth branch, something very serious is going on over there. Aina said solemnly, "The Linde has lost its message. β
"Hey?!" Estelle was taken aback, "What's going on?"
"The details are not very clear. Aina shook her head and said, "It is said that the Kingdom Army has been dispatched and is conducting a large-scale search operation. Due to this incident, other routes have also been suspended. β
"If I'm not mistaken...... Reilly thought for a moment and said, "That must be the regular ship that Cassius's predecessor was on, right?"
"Ah......h
"How could it be ......?"
"Kidding, aren't you?!"
Joshua, Estelle, and Sherazade were all taken aback by hearing the news.
"His name is on the passenger list...... "Aina said with a solemn face, "Guerrilla Association, belonging to the Loliente branch, Cassius Bright, forty-five years old......"
In the evening, Reilly and the others gathered at Estelle's house.
"Wheel of Fortune...... It's this card again. Sherazadeh looked at the tarot cards in his hand and said, "Obviously, something is happening...... However, it is not yet possible to determine what this will be. β
At this time, Reilly saw Joshua coming down from the second floor and asked, "How is Estelle?"
"I just went to call her for dinner...... But she didn't seem to have much of an appetite. β
"That's right. Sherazade shook her head and said, "No matter how lively a girl is on weekdays, she can't stand this kind of thing." β
"That can't be helped. Joshua sighed and said, "Their father and daughter are so good......
"Don't underestimate Estelle. Reilly smiled and said, "I'm sure that kid will pick himself up soon." β
"Is that so?" said Joshua, stunned.
"It's so fragrant~" As if in response to Reilly's words, Estelle walked down from the second floor: "I'm so hungry that I can't stand it." β
"Estelle, are you alright?" asked Shelazard.
"No, no, no, my stomach is about to go hungry. Estelle quickly sat down at the table and said, "You're welcome!"
"Look. Reilly smiled, "I'll just say she's fine." β
"Uh......"
Seeing Joshua and Sherazadeh sitting still, Estelle asked suspiciously, "Why don't you eat it?" Joshua did a great job!"
"Passed, won the prize......"
"Sister Sheila, you're welcome. Estelle suddenly remembered something, and said, "Speaking of which, would you like to drink some brandy......?" By the way, it's the 'Holy Rose' of 20 years. β
"Saint, Holy Rose, and twenty years old?" said Sherazade's face changed.
"Don't get excited, Shera......" Reilly said helplessly, "and Istelle, you can't do that." β
"Why is that?" said Estelle, confused, "Sister Sheila is rarely a guest......
"If that bottle of wine is drunk, Cassius will really cry!" said Reilly, with a sad expression.
"Ahem, I'll talk about this later. Sherazade looked at Istiel and said, "Joshua went to call you just now, why didn't you come down?"
"Huh?" Astelle was stunned for a moment, then said embarrassedly, "Because I was busy looking for pajamas, I didn't pay attention." β
"Sleep, pajamas?" Joshua suddenly felt that something was about to happen.
"And travel kits. Estelle thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if it will come in handy, but ...... What do you mean by that?"
"Be prepared. Reilly smiled and said, "Looks like you've decided you're going to Perth." β
"Of course. Estelle nodded and said, "Although I don't think anything will happen to my father, it is not in my style to wait." So, it's better to check it out for yourself. β
"You're really ......," Joshua smiled and said, "Should I say optimistic, or is it a rough nerve?"
"What, that's rude!" Estelle grumbled, then added, "Anyway, Joshua will definitely come with me, right?"
"Of course. Joshua said, "However, the regular ships will certainly not sail until the army's search operation is over." So, we had to walk to Perth. β
"How much time will it take?"
"With the strength of the guerrillas' feet, it will be there in about half a day. Reilly said, "I'm going to do that, too." β
"Is Mr. Reilly going with him?" said Estelle, surprised.
"The work of the association, I have asked Aina to let others do it. Shelazadeh said.
"Is Sister Shera going too?" Joshua said with a smile, "Then please take care of me." β
"Hehe, each other. β
"Well, let's talk to Aina tomorrow. Reilly concluded.
