Chapter 134 133. He's in luck

Lloyd put down his coffee cup, then closed his eyes and recalled, telling all the circumstances of his meeting with the critic at that time, and the cause and effect, without hiding it, and there was nothing to hide.

The captain listened patiently, and the team member patiently recorded, asking two questions from time to time.

"So, you didn't develop your inspiration at the time, you just looked at it with the naked eye, and then you didn't notice anything strange about the other person?"

Lloyd nodded, then asked rhetorically.

"Yes, who would drink tea with inspiration all the time?"

"Uh...... We ......"

"Huh?"

"Don't worry, it's our professional habit and one of the many things that sets us apart from you."

The captain explained in a helpless tone.

Lloyd smiled and asked:

"I can understand that, your role is mainly to deal with outlaws, and inspiration is really important...... That's all I can say, I wonder if I can help you? ”

"Hmm...... It should help us reduce the time it takes to commit crimes, right? The murderer is likely to be the victim who visited you after you left, and happened to pass you by......"

The captain made a preliminary judgment, then nodded, signaling that it was okay.

"Okay, let's do it for now, thank you for your cooperation, can you lend us this place for a while? We intend to sort out the facts of the case first. ”

But Lloyd was not in a hurry to leave, and asked:

"Uh...... Don't have any help from me? ”

He is very serious about wanting to help, after all, he has always been a righteous young man who is jealous and hateful, and he has to write anonymous letters when he has nothing to do.

What's more, this kind of gangster who dares to do something in the central area must be extremely vicious, and it is a good thing for everyone to be able to bring them to justice as soon as possible.

But the captain declined his kindness, and said with a slight smile:

"Okay, my big star, a super genius like you, should put your time and energy on the right path and deal with these annoying gangsters, let's do it."

With all that said, what else can Lloyd say?

Just as he was about to leave, the captain suddenly reminded again:

"Just in case, you'd better not use divination during this time, a gangster like this [curse] is the best at using divination to harm people."

Lloyd nodded, jotted down the advice, and then opened the door and left.

After he walked away, the remaining two people in the conference room took out sugar cubes, milk, and chocolate, added them to their coffee, and then briefly discussed them while tasting them.

The team members were the first to ask:

"Will it be a 'consultant'? To be able to shoot at such a close distance from the Sanctuary of Veto without being noticed, I can only think of this guy. ”

"There is a certain possibility, but there is something wrong......

"Captain, what do you mean...... He spared our big star? ”

"Yes, such a super genius is close at hand, but letting him leave safely, this really doesn't seem like the style of a 'consultant'...... But on second thought, maybe the two really just passed by, so that the time frame could be narrowed down to that day. ”

As the captain spoke, he picked up his notebook and checked the timetable, then nodded and briefly analyzed:

"We first found signs of the 'Advisor' in the underground area, and then the next day the critic was murdered and became his scapegoat, and then we completed the preliminary preparations for [the transfer of costs] last night......

The time is a little tight, but if it is a 'consultant', it makes sense.

Our big star is really lucky, and it's likely that if he leaves a little later, there won't be today......"

As he spoke, he flipped through a few more pages of his notebook, on which he had found a record of the last appearance of the 'advisor'.

"The last time he found out about this guy's clear whereabouts, he used the power of the [Calamity] system, and designed to kill more than a dozen colleagues on the other side of the Quiet City......

But this was already a case three years ago, and now that he has reappeared, has he even mastered the [Cost Transfer] of the [Curse] system? ”

"What a chilling guy...... How did this unfortunate errand end up on us? ”

The teammate next to him whispered and took another sip of the sweet coffee.

"When you catch him later, you can ask him why he has been clinging to the [Twisted] system for so many years? Otherwise, this case will not be thrown on our heads. ”

"Uh...... Captain, do you think we can catch such a dangerous guy? ”

"Or else?"

"I think we're going to die a terrible and ugly death......"

"Heh~ People will always die, sooner or later."

The captain said freely and took another big sip of coffee.

Why is it still so bitter?

……………………

For the time being, Lloyd didn't know that he had rubbed shoulders with the top five wanted criminals on the bounty list.

As soon as he came out of the No. 1 tower, he saw Wei Ya waiting for him outside, and as soon as he saw him, he asked anxiously:

"How? They didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

"No, no, I just cooperated with their investigation."

Lloyd said, and asked one more question:

"I think they're still pretty good to get along with, huh? Why was it so ugly before? ”

"That's because there was a newcomer in their team who just came to report today, and he said something very ugly, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction."

Wei Ya explained, her face turning cold, obviously still angry at those words.

Newcomer just reported? Join a squad of hunters who are obviously very sophisticated and sleek, and then come to the Inquisition's territory to tell strange things?

Lloyd couldn't help but recall what Captain Fox had said before, "someone reminded him to follow the rules", "it has nothing to do with you and me".

It gave him a stench of workplace politics......

From this point of view, the notoriety of the Holy Court of Grace is not unreasonable......

"You don't have to worry too much about these things, the Order is a very large organization, and some things are always unavoidable."

Wei Ya spoke again to comfort her, and then asked curiously:

"What case are they going to interrogate you for?"

"An unusually brutal homicide ......"

Lloyd told Wei Ya about the case, and she was stunned, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"I didn't expect such a bad case to happen in a place like the central area...... It seems that with the progress of the great development, these underworld forces have also begun to move. ”

"yes, so we've got to work hard to get stronger."

Lloyd chimed in.

The two of them chatted as they returned to Tower Nine, and as soon as they entered, they saw several executors surrounding them.

"Senior Lloyd, are you alright? Those clowns didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

"Are the people of the Court of Grace trying to win you over to join them? Don't say yes! We can't do without Lloyd's predecessors in the 18th district! ”

"That idiot was so ugly to talk to before, what do you mean they are law enforcement? What do they mean they have the right to intervene in all matters? That arrogant face really makes people want to beat him. ”

"If it weren't for Inquisitor Wei Ya stopping me, I would have thrown bricks at that idiot."

Looking at the sincere concern on the faces of these people, Lloyd smiled, changed his usual indifference, responded one by one, and patiently comforted everyone.

But there was no mention of the case, just told them to 'don't think too much, don't ask too much'.

After all the people dispersed, Lloyd went to the library to borrow a book on equipment, intending to study what the captain's mouth was about "magic pockets"?

The murder case was temporarily put behind him, and there was only a little information he could provide anyway.

It's just that there is still a little curiosity left in my heart - what kind of divination can make that critic look so miserable?

These lawbreakers are so hateful!

When Lloyd returned to his office, he flipped through the book's table of contents and soon found instructions for the 'magic pocket'.

It turns out that this thing is a much, much weakened 'space storage bag', and it is not even a storage bag, it can only be regarded as some kind of special passage.

It allows the owner to create a special spatial connection with a real-life safe, or warehouse, and can take out the contents by reaching into it.

However, there is a very clear distance limit, and the distance between the safe or the warehouse and the 'magic pocket' cannot be too far, so most of the time, it is linked to the trunk of the steam car, and the coffee pot used by the captain is mostly conjured out of the trunk.

As for the functions of 'everything can be loaded', 'regardless of size', 'unconditional preservation', and 'intelligent sorting and screening', don't even think about it.

However, according to the book, that kind of space equipment has existed in history, and this kind of equipment is not uncommon in the glorious era when human beings are still in the 'third stage of fighting power'.

It's just that after experiencing the cataclysm of the end times, the current human race can only use this version of youth that has been weakened many times.

I can find a way to get one when I go back, although I don't have a car, so I may not be able to use it, but as a traverser, this equipment must be had!

Lloyd pondered in his mind.

Just then, he heard a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

With that, Lloyd waited for a while.

No one came in, but there was another knock on the door.

Hey?

He opened the door with some confusion.

Then I saw a crack in the space in front of me, and it was pitch black inside, faintly flickering like a little star, but I couldn't see anything.

An arm as thick as cardboard, with a white sleeve, protruding from the crack in the black, held a letter in his hand and handed it to Lloyd.

The envelope was painted with a string of symbols that were familiar to Lloyd.

Lloyd took the letter, and the cardboard-like arm waved at him, retracting into the crack.

The whole crack disappeared.
