14. Cooperation in Competition
"Now, there is finally a decisive piece of evidence. β
The man in black tucked the picture into his chest as he spoke, and his long black hair fell out from the intense exercise.
Nia Van Dyne, the notorious detective who only takes on big cases, turns out she's also investigating herself?
Obviously, in the banquet she opened before, her expression and attitude when she talked to herself were not the slightest abnormal, could it be that the banquet was specially opened for herself?
Although flattered, but ......
"You guys, leave her behind!, can't let her run away!" After a moment of hesitation with a complicated expression, Arya gave the order without hesitation.
"That's not going to work, Princess Arya, I still have to go and get a reward. β
Facing Sisley, who had already raised her gun to aim at herself, Nia smiled instead.
[There is absolute evidence in the hand, therefore, this is a reasonable inference. γβ
As soon as Nia's words fell, the gunshots rang out, but the bullets were as slow and weak as cotton wool floating in the air in her eyes.
After effortlessly turning her head to dodge the bullets, Nia leaned down and watched as Lim flew over her head.
Most of this move, in the eyes of Arya and the others, is just a momentary thing, and their own behavior, in their opinion, is absolutely impossible to complete.
"It's a pity princess, it's real power. β
After seeing the look on Arya's face, Nia smiled contentedly, "Goodbye then, Your Highness Princess?"
"Catch up!"
Looking at Nia who was rolling out the window. Even Arya became anxious.
His identity has been revealed. And. The photo, which could not be denied in any way, was also snatched by Nia.
Damn, if it weren't for the rumors of the war in the north, how could he have made such a big mistake, maybe in the morning he would have just listened to Sisley say a few more words about the "thief", and he would have found out the suspicion.
However, it was too late to regret it, and under the protection of Sisley and Lim, Alya rushed out of the house and into the darkness of night.
Snow has fallen on the streets at some point. Through this white landscape, Arya barely found a running black figure in the distance.
γBang, bangγ
Sisley fired two shots at Nia's back, and to Arya's surprise, Nia's back, which was still moving quickly, actually stopped.
"This ...... Hit?"
Sisley himself found it incredulous. Nia, who had just dodged the bullet so lightly, was actually hit? Or was it because she was focused on escaping and didn't have the time to pay attention to the danger behind her?
"Anyway, let's go over and have a look!, we must not let her stay!" Arya took the lead.
Nia definitely didn't stop because of the mere two bullets. The excitement that she hadn't felt in a long time was filling her body, however. There was only one reason why she really stopped her long-lost excitement and stopped on a snowy night.
"Fenox. β
Nia's originally excited expression gradually cooled down, and she quietly looked at Fei who was standing on the side of the road with an umbrella on a snowy night, "On such a snowy day, stay outside so late, aren't you afraid of asthma recurrence?"
"Thank you for your concern, Nia. Fei was very rare, threw the umbrella to the ground, and at the same time his tone became tougher, as if he was a different person, "It seems that you have succeeded? What kind of decisive evidence is it, I am very curious." β
"Just two photos. Or are you going to sacrifice your dignity to rob me?"
Nia's expression was a little surprised, it stands to reason that Fei should not be a detective who will take credit from others.
"You think you can grab it?"
"It's not about robbing, it's about taking my fair share. β
The deserved part?
"Detective Nia, Faye's contribution is greater than yours. β
Claire walked around the corner of the alley, and Watson, who had been cowering by another wall, took off his hat.
"Instead of that, how about saying hello to our princess of Blue Rose?"
β...... Hello...... Although this should not be said in this case. β
The falling snowflakes fell on Alia's face, which also made her sober up a lot.
Three detectives, and I didn't expect that in addition to Nia Van Dyne, there was also a Phinox who was the same name as her.
This should be an impossible thing, what means did Lilith use to make the three detectives put aside each other's prejudices and do a commission?
"Hello, Princess, I'm Claire, and he's my assistant Watson. β
Claire nodded, "As for these two detectives, I think you should have known each other for a long time. β
β...... Are her words enough for the feuding detectives to unite to investigate me?"
"No, no, no, you think too much, it's not a union, it's a competition. β
Claire shook her head, "As for the incident that made you finally show your tail today, it's just a cooperation that we accidentally and unconsciously facilitated in the process of fighting each other. I only recently figured it out, Finnox relied on her prestige to spread the news of the defeat of your orc army, and I just asked some friends to add fuel to the fire after realizing that it was Finnox. Now it seems that you, who have been troubled, have also fallen into the trap of Nia, a rogue, because of rumors. If you didn't do anything, you wouldn't have anything. β
"As long as the case can be solved, there is no such thing as a hooligan. β
Nia clenched her fists, "But, Fei, is that why you want to share the credit?" but judging by the results, I got the last evidence. β
"Let's talk about that later, Detective!"
"How about a momentary cooperation?" I think is more convincing than conclusive evidence. β
"No comment. Van Dyne waved his hand, "I don't have a weapon right now, I can't catch her alone." β
"No opinion, I also think it's better to catch the prisoner first than to fight each other. β
"Sisley, get ready to escape. β
Arya whispered as she stepped behind Sisley.
It's not that she thinks Sisley is unreliable enough to deal with the three detectives in front of her and an assistant, but it seems that the detectives in front of her are not like the detectives who are known to be the ones who explain together at the crime scene, and then point out the murderer and hand it over to the police.
It's obviously your own side that has the advantage, but why, is it so uneasy? (To be continued......)
