Lloyd put down his coffee cup, then closed his eyes and recalled, telling the story of his meeting with the critic, as well as the ins and outs, without hiding anything, and there was nothing he could hide.

The captain listened patiently, while the team member patiently took notes and asked two questions from time to time.

"So, you didn't develop inspiration at that time, you just observed it with your naked eyes, and then you didn't notice anything strange about the other party?"

Lloyd nodded and asked again.

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

"Uh... we..."

"what?"

"Don't worry about it. This is our professional habit and one of the many differences between us and you."

The captain explained in a helpless tone.

Lloyd smiled and asked:

"I can understand this. Your duty is mainly to deal with criminals. Inspiration is indeed very important... So that's all I can say. I wonder if I can help you?"

"Well... it should help us narrow down the time of the crime, right? The murderer was probably the victim who visited after you left, and happened to pass you by..."

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

"Okay, that's it for now. Thank you for your cooperation. Can you lend us this place for a while? We plan to sort out the case first."

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

"Uh...there's nothing you need my help with?"

He really wanted to help. After all, he had always been a righteous young man who hated evil and would write anonymous letters no matter what.

What's more, such gangsters who dare to attack the central area must be extremely vicious. It would be a good thing for everyone if they can be brought 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 focus his time and energy on the right path and deal with these annoying gangsters, so let us do it."

Having said that, what else can Lloyd say?

Just when he was about to leave, the captain suddenly reminded him:

"Just in case, you'd better not use divination during this period. Gangsters like this [Curse] type are best at using divination to harm people."

Lloyd nodded, took note of this advice, and then opened the door and left.

After he walked away, the two remaining people in the conference room took out sugar cubes, milk, and chocolate, and poured them into their coffee, as if by magic. Then they tasted them carefully and briefly discussed them. Ichiban.

The team member was the first to ask:

"Could it be a 'consultant'? I can only think of this guy who can attack so close to the Veto Sanctuary without being noticed."

"It's possible, but something is wrong..."

"Captain, you mean...he let our big star go?"

"Yes, it really doesn't look like a 'consultant' to have such a super genius so close but let him leave safely... But then I thought about it, maybe the two of them really just passed each other. In this case, The time frame can be narrowed down to that day.”

The captain said, picked up his notebook and checked the timetable, then nodded and briefly analyzed:

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

The time was a little tight, but if it was the 'consultant' who took action, that would make sense.

Our big star is really lucky. It is possible that if he had left a little later, nothing would have happened today..."

As he spoke, he flipped through a few more pages of his notebook, which contained the records of the last appearance of the 'consultant'.

“The last time I found this guy’s clear whereabouts, he used the power of the [Disaster] system and designed to kill more than ten colleagues from the City of Silence…

But this was already a case three years ago, and now he appears again. Has he even mastered the [Price Transfer] of the [Curse] system? "

"What a creepy guy...Why did such an unfortunate job happen to us?"

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

"When you catch him later, you can ask him why he has been obsessed with [distorting] the system for so many years? Otherwise, this case will not be thrown at us."

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

"if not?"

"I feel that we may die miserably and ugly..."

"Ha~ people will always die, it's just one day earlier and one day later."

The captain said very casually and took another sip of coffee.

Why is it still so painful?

........................

For the time being, Lloyd didn't know that he had passed by the top five most wanted criminals on the bounty list.

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

"How's it going? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

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

Lloyd said and asked one more question:

"I think they get along pretty well? Why were they so ugly before?"

"That's because there is a new member of their team who just came to report today and said some unpleasant things, which caused strong dissatisfaction."

Wei Ya explained, her face turned cold, and she was obviously still angry about those words.

New guy just reporting? Join a team of hunters who are obviously very sophisticated and slick, and then come to the Holy Inquisition's territory to say weird things?

Lloyd couldn't help but recall what Captain Fox said earlier, such as 'someone reminded him to abide by the rules', 'it has nothing to do with you and me' and so on.

This made him smell the stench of workplace politics...

From this point of view, it is not unreasonable that the Court of Saint Grace is notorious...

"You don't have to pay too much attention to these things. The Order is a very large organization, and some things are always inevitable."

Wei Ya comforted her again, and then asked curiously:

"What case do they want to question you about?"

"An extremely brutal murder..."

Lloyd then told Wei Ya about the case, which frightened her into a daze. She couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:

"I didn't expect that such a bad case would occur in a place like the central area... It seems that as the great development progresses, these evil forces are starting to get ready to take action."

"Yeah, so we have to work hard to become stronger."

Lloyd echoed.

The two of them just chatted while returning to Tower No. 9. As soon as they entered, they saw several executors surrounding them.

"Senior Lloyd, are you okay? Those clowns didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"Are the people from Holy Grace Court trying to win you over to join them? Don't agree! We cannot live without Senior Lloyd in District 18!"

"What that idiot said before was so unpleasant. What does it mean that they are a law enforcement agency? What does it mean that they have the right to intervene in all matters? That arrogant face really makes people want to beat him."

"If Judge Wei Ya hadn't stopped him, I would have thrown a brick at that idiot."

Seeing the sincere concern on these people's faces, Lloyd smiled, changed his usual indifference, responded to them one by one, and patiently comforted everyone.

But he didn't mention the case and just told them not to think too much and not to ask too many questions.

After all these people dispersed, Lloyd went to the library and borrowed a book on equipment, intending to study what the captain's "magic pocket" was.

The murder case was temporarily forgotten by him. Anyway, there was only so much information he could provide.

But there is still a little curiosity left in my heart - what kind of divination can make the critic look so miserable?

These lawless elements are so hateful!

When Lloyd returned to the office, he looked through the catalog of the book and quickly found the instructions related to the 'Magic Pocket'.

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

It allows the holder to have some kind of special spatial connection with a real safe, or warehouse, or something like that. If you put your hand in, you can take out the contents.

But there are very clear distance restrictions. The distance between the safe or warehouse and the 'magic pocket' cannot be too far, so most of the time, it is connected to the trunk of the steam car. Most of the coffee pots used by the captain and others come from the backup. Conjured out of the box.

As for the functions in the novel that 'can hold anything', 'ignore size', 'unconditional freshness', and 'intelligent sorting and filtering', don't even think about it.

However, according to the book, the space equipment in the novel actually existed in history. In the glorious era when humans were still in the third stage of Dou Zhili, this kind of equipment was not uncommon.

It's just that after experiencing the catastrophe of the end of the world, human beings now can only use this youth version that has been weakened many times.

I can think of ways to get one later. Although I don’t have a car, I may not be able to use it very much, but as a time traveler, I must have this kind of equipment!

Lloyd thought about it in his mind.

At that moment, he heard someone knocking on the office door.

"Please come in."

After saying that, Lloyd waited for a while.

As a result, no one came in, but there was another knock on the door.

Huh?

He went over and opened the door with some confusion.

Then he saw a crack appearing in the space in front of him. It was dark inside, with a faint star-like light shining, but nothing could be seen.

An arm only as thick as cardboard, wearing a white sleeve, stretched out from the dark crack, holding a letter in his hand, and handed it to Lloyd.

There was a series of symbols drawn on the envelope that were very familiar to Lloyd.

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

The entire crack also disappeared.
