It's just... It seems that Inaba Tsukiya is basically responsible for both work and care, and Victoria is just enjoying it.

(Not bad: I think of the useless maid in the elf envoy, who is served by the young lady even though she is a maid. I am so envious! I also want to be the...subordinate of such a young lady?)

【Ring ring ring—】

At this time, the phone in the room rang. The old-fashioned phones were used in this era. It took Inaba Tsukiya a lot of effort to learn how to use this thing.

"Is it a moonlit night?"

Only a small number of people know the number here, and most of them will not call her, which means that only Inaba Tsukiya is the only one who can call her.

"Well, it's me. I may be back a little later today, Victoria. I want to take care of something."

"Huh? What's the matter? Moonlight. Are you in any trouble?"

"It's not a big deal. Didn't I tell you before that I solved a human trafficking case when I came to Suval? It seems that a similar case has occurred in Suval this time. I can't do nothing."

Victoria quickly connected the news that appeared in the newspaper recently, and instantly understood what Inaba Tsukiyo wanted to do.

"If you feel you can handle it, go for it. I assume you've had experience with this sort of thing?"

"You said that I looked like a secret agent. I just handled a similar case by chance. Don't think too much about me."

"How powerful are you on that moonlit night? Can you tell me in detail?"

"I~ I may be a little bit more powerful than you imagined in your heart."

Inaba Tsukiyo said something playful, which made Victoria Lika laugh out loudly.

"I see, you go and deal with this matter first. I'll wait for your return here, Moon Night."

"...Well, wait for me, I will solve this matter as quickly as possible."

Inaba Tsukiyo moved her hands, and she felt that she had inexhaustible strength all over her body. Even if she was dealing with thousands of troops, she still had this confidence.

"You can't make the little princess wait in a hurry. You have to go back and make delicious desserts for her."

Inaba Tsukiyo moved skillfully to the vicinity of the [Jedan] department store. There was a guard standing at the door of the department store to monitor the surrounding situation. It was obviously unreliable to enter here.

Is there any other way to enter besides here?

Inaba Tsukiya looked around and found an entrance leading to the basement at the back of the building, but the basement door was locked and it was impossible to enter.

"It's a little troublesome, but it's okay."

Finding a wire, Inaba Tsukiya inserted the wire into the keyhole and fiddled with it. After about ten seconds, the door was opened with the sound of [click].

If it wasn't for the worry that the noise would attract the guards, she could kick open such a door with one kick, so there was no need for such a laborious thing.

Enter the basement, there are many empty wooden barrels here, and there are also places for storing glass products, probably as a warehouse.

"Huh? Is this... the sound of a heartbeat?"

It was faint, but against her keen hearing and in this quiet basement, the heartbeat stood out.

The heartbeat sound comes from a wooden barrel, which is usually used to store some sundries, but here comes the heartbeat sound, which feels a bit like a horror movie.

Inaba Tsukiyo opened the lid, and inside the wooden barrel was curled up a girl in thin clothes, her eyes were closed, like a doll, if it wasn't for her weak breathing, people would think she was a mannequin.

Sensing the opening of the lid, the girl suddenly opened her eyes. She jumped out of the barrel, threw Inaba Tsukiyo to the ground, and yelled in horror.

"There are devils! Many, many devils! Everyone! Everyone will be killed!"

"Shh!"

Inaba Tsukiya covered the girl's mouth, signaling her not to make a sound, to attract the attention of others.

"Keep your voice down, I know a way to escape from here, and I will take you out of here now."

The girl's terrified expression gradually recovered, and a dazzling light flashed in her eyes when she heard that she could leave this place.

As she thought of something else, she shook her head, looked in the direction of the stairs, and whispered.

"Go, find the police. Find the police to save me, it's too dangerous here!"

"Do you think the police are really useful? The fact that this department store has been open for such a long time proves that they must have some way to avoid the police's sight. Don't talk about saving lives, maybe they will scare the snake."

The girl didn't know what it meant to scare the snake, but she heard that it was dangerous to do so, and then looked at Inaba Tsukiyo for help.

"Then...then what do we do now? Those demons, those demons may come here at any time."

"I hope they can come over, but bad things will happen that way, let's forget it."

She was worried that if she accidentally killed that [lucky] guy, it would be troublesome if Gulevin, who was in charge of handling this matter, found out about this problem.

The girl looked at Inaba Tsukiya in puzzlement, she held Inaba Tsukiya's hand tightly, hoping to make her feel better through this method.

The girl's hands were very cold, and I don't know if it was because of her clothes or her mood. In short, she must be in a bad mood right now, that's for sure.

Inaba Tsukiyo took the girl's hand and walked towards the underground entrance, where she could be taken away without anyone noticing.

This girl should be one of the missing persons. Although her mental state is not good, as long as her identity is found out, she can become a decisive witness.

"Hey, is the door here open? Could someone go in and steal something from here?"

Just as they were about to reach the entrance, a rough boy rang, and the girl almost cried out in fright. Fortunately, Inaba Tsukiya reached out and covered her mouth in time.

The two found a dark place to squat down, Inaba Tsukiyo eavesdropped on their conversation, and took the best opportunity to deal with the two obstructive guys.

"Probably some hooligan here. Those who were born in the slums are the most likely to do this kind of petty theft. This kind of lockpicking is not a big deal to them at all."

There are a lot of pickpockets and thieves in this city, and the [Jedan] department store has encountered such a situation, and it seems that it is no surprise to this kind of thing.

"Look at the guy who doesn't have eyes to come here to make trouble, steal things and actually steal here, I really don't know how to live or die."

The two cursed and walked towards the basement door. As the sound of their footsteps grew louder, the panic on the girl's face gradually increased.

【How to do?What should I do? 】

She doesn't want to go back to that place, she doesn't want to go back to that hell full of demons!What should I do.

The young girl can only pin her hopes on this girl she has never seen before, hoping that she can think of a way to deal with this matter.

Regarding the arrival of the two, Inaba Tsukiya did not panic in the slightest. She squatted down calmly, determined the positions of the two in her heart, and gestured to the girl, signaling her to wait here.

Like a cat, Inaba Tsukiyo came behind the two men without making any sound, and before the other party noticed his gap, he slammed the back of the necks of the two men with a very precise knife.

The two of them fell limply on the ground without noticing it at all. After confirming that the two of them had fallen into a coma, Inaba Tsukiya returned to the girl.

The girl who was originally terrified looked at Inaba Tsukiyo with a dazed expression. She thought that Inaba Tsukiyo would be in danger, but in the end, he dealt with the two big men in a hurry.

When did little loli become so powerful?Are all girls in this city like this?It feels a little scary.

"Hey, hey, don't be dazed, hurry up and catch up. Those people will soon notice the problem, and if they don't leave quickly, they won't have a chance."

"Huh? Oh, oh! I... I'll be right there."

The girl who came back to her senses rolled up and walked up, and followed Inaba Tsukiyo out of the basement. The moment she saw the sun, the girl stretched out her hand to block her eyes.

"Thanks.. Thank you, I... I'm Anastasia, and I'm Russian."

The girl who was still in shock thought that she hadn't introduced herself to her savior, so she hurriedly said her name.

"Hi, I'm Inaba Tsukiyo. I will introduce myself later when we are completely safe. Now I want to take you to the police station. Can you provide some information? Although I am sorry to bring back bad memories, But I hope you can tell what you know. There are many people like you who are locked up, and they are still locked up, waiting to be rescued."

"...Hmm! I...I will work hard!"

Anastasia nodded vigorously. Although she suffered a lot during the time of escaping, she hoped to help those who were in the same situation as herself.

"Very good ~ very good ~ very good, very good. After this matter is dealt with, the family can pick you up. You don't have to worry about going back to that place, I want you to promise."

Seeing the girl in front of her who was much smaller than herself swear by such words, Anastasia couldn't help laughing, which eased the gloom on her face a lot.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Inaba-san."

Chapter 050: Closing the Net

"You mean, while you were away, you ran to the [Jerdan] department store and found a kidnapped girl there?"

Gurewin looked at Anastasia who was being questioned, and looked at Inaba Tsukiyo who was sitting on the sofa drinking water with cold sweat on his head.

Originally, she thought that Inaba Tsukiyo left the police station to tell Victoria about this matter, and planned to ask her for some related opinions, but in the end, she went to steal someone else's hometown, and it really succeeded, and brought someone back.

This... Is this the rhythm against the sky?Is this guy really human?Could it be some kind of mysterious creature?

"I just don't want to stay here and do nothing, Mr. Inspector. Just the young man's confession can only prove that there is something wrong with the [Jedan] department store, but it does not mean that it is a black market den. The kidnapped Ana Miss Tasia, let us determine the problem there."

"However, even if there are two of them to prove this matter, we can't send out to search the [Jedan] department store right now."

"Why? There are already witnesses, why can't we go to search? The higher authorities are paying close attention to this matter. As long as there are some reports, the search warrant will definitely be approved."

Basically, it is considered a sure thing, why can't you go in and search?

"Don't be impulsive, Mr. Inspector. During my absence, have you investigated the intelligence of the [Jerdan] department store?"

"Yes. The department store was acquired before the disappearance case started. According to the boy's confession, a large number of missing girls disappeared when they entered the [Jedan] department store. Every missing time Basically correct."

Gu Leiwen briefly explained the current situation, which can prove that the missing girls have a high probability of being hidden in a certain location of the [Jedan] department store.

"Then, have you ever received a similar report? The old lady who came to the police station with that boy should also be a missing person, right? She said that her woman was taken away by [Jedan]'s people. Since there is such a person, there must be other people who reported the crime."

"Hmm~ Listening to what you said, it seems that there were really exhausting cases in the past. Those people said that their women disappeared when they entered [Jidan], and the police department also sent people to investigate. But every time they investigate Nothing unusual happened, because no evidence was found, so it was left alone in the end.”

"That's the problem. Then how did they hide people in that conspicuous place? There are many guests going in there every day. Is it true that no one found anything unusual in it?"

It is impossible to hide people. There is no place to hide people in the warehouse, which means that there must be unknown areas in that building, such as darkrooms or something.

"Miss Anastasia told me that when she was in [Jedan] she was locked up in a place with a window. She could see the palace of Suva through the window, and there was a two-headed eagle. Every night Demons came and they cast a curse in the ceremony as sacrifices, and those who were cursed were taken away, and the girls who were taken away never came back."

This is what Anastasia said to Inaba Tsukiyo on the way to the police station. It sounds a bit crazy, but if you think about it carefully, you can still find some key positions.

"The first words are okay, but what does the latter one mean? Isn't this the content of a ghost story? Isn't this crazy talk?"

Gu Leiwen asked a little confused, he understood the previous words, but what did the latter mean?Obviously he knows every word, but together he feels as if he doesn't understand French.

"It's probably because she was fed some kind of medicine or the fragrance was used to make her mentally abnormal. After all, they won't think about running away. Be obedient."

After all, what those people want is only the bodies of those girls, and whether their consciousness is disordered has nothing to do with them, on the contrary, it is easier to control.

"The latter words are actually easy to understand. The ceremony is a certain stage, the spell is a certain person's words, and the demons are those who sit in front of the stage. The girl who was sacrificed was cursed and taken away. What do you think? What's going on?"

"...Those spells are the auction bids, and the demons are the people who participate in the auction."

Gulewin thought about it for a while, and this scene was very similar to the auctions he had participated in in the past, the difference was that he was participating in auctions of rare items, while those were auctions of girls.
