Chapter Seventy-Eight: Invitation
I have to admit it.
The person who wrote this "Novice Investigator Recommendation" is a very interesting guy.
After enumerating the mysteries and the process of solving them, his main advice is a solution rather than a standardized process.
The author even lashed out at the contents of "Basic Occult Knowledge".
His exact words about this mysterious and widely circulated enlightenment book are as follows.
[I don't know if there's a problem with the theory that Start said.] γ
[But judging from my intuition as a front-line worker for more than 30 years, he should be wrong. γ
[When I was young, there were still people who believed that bloodletting could cure all the diseases in the world, not to mention that the stator was still an old antique from a thousand years ago. γ
[So I advise the investigators not to believe him.] γ
Just by seeing this "Novice Investigator Recommendation", Ronald can appreciate this guy's character to a certain extent.
In the middle of careful reading, an afternoon passed quickly.
Ronald also saw a few times during this time, where Investigator Springs walked down from the second floor and then returned to the second floor to run errands.
In general, there may be verbal or attitudinal disputes.
But the investigators from Springs didn't really do anything out of the ordinary.
On the first day in Bronwich, the investigators from the headquarters showed their professionalism.
They didn't rush out in a hurry, they just went straight to find those damn mysterious events to deal with. Instead, I plan to spend half a day studying relevant matters here in the Investigation Bureau before I really start working.
Frankly......
This strategy and way of acting is indeed what a normal investigator should be.
ββββ
"Yo~~um~~hum~~"
It's still close to evening.
Nicole pushed open the door of the Investigation Bureau's headquarters, humming a little song with a happy expression, and walked towards Ronald.
"Good evening, Ronald!"
As she got closer, the expression on Nicole's face changed to apology, and the tone of her tone lowered.
With her hands folded, the investigator girl bent over Ronald:
"I'm sorry, but I accidentally broke your umbrella today."
"It really wasn't intentional!"
"Let me tell you, I was supposed to deal with a mysterious incident today."
"As a result, when I arrived at the place, a crazy man who was particularly good at fighting suddenly popped up. I didn't have anything in my hand at that time, so I had to use your umbrella to top it, and it didn't just break. β
"You understand, don't you?"
β......β
Ronald was thinking about how to answer, but Nicole's stupid expression just now instantly froze.
"What's going on?"
The investigator girl's footsteps paused, and then she squatted on the ground and carefully examined the ground for a few seconds before asking:
"Someone is coming to us today?"
"Not a local yet?"
How does this guy know?
Ronald stretched out half of his body at the front desk and looked at Nicole.
β......β
Awesome β
He admired in his heart the attentiveness of the investigator girl.
With this keen observation, he is worthy of being an elite investigator praised by Ms. Mapel herself!
It's on the ground.
A few shallow, hard-to-notice footprints were left on the floor tiles in front of the counter.
It was snowing lightly this morning.
The Springs investigators came to Brunwich, stepped on the snowflakes all the way down the train, and finally came to the Bureau of Investigation.
The warm air in the halls of the Bureau of Investigation had steamed away the mud from their feet, leaving their shoe prints on the floor.
There are few people in the headquarters, and no one comes to clean up.
These shoe prints were left from noon to evening.
Ronald, who was reading the book behind the front desk, didn't even notice it, but Nicole had just returned and spotted the things at first glance and directly recognized that the footprints didn't belong to anyone from their bureau.
This girl is usually quite jumpy, but she is also a professional.
At the same time, Nicole stood up from the ground and explained with a low expression:
"My own people in the bureau won't stand together at the front desk."
"Where did these guys come from?"
Ronald immediately replied:
"A little past noon today, there are five investigators from the Springs General Bureau, who are coming to help us and installing a thing called a radio."
Speaking of this, Ronald pointed to the top of his head.
"Now, Miss Marpel is up there to receive them."
"Alasββ?"
Nicole's awkward voice pulled out a long tone, and her face was quite distorted as if she had eaten expired fruit.
Immediately, she cautiously guessed:
"There won't be a ...... among the people you're talking about"
"Ms. Marpel calls him Spencer."
Without Nicole continuing to prompt the physical characteristics of the candidate in her mind, Ronald directly interrupted her and told the investigator the name of the girl.
Sure enough, it was the same as Ms. Mapel, who had a bad face at noon.
Nicole's face darkened instantly.
"Is there something wrong with the people at the headquarters?"
"Actually...... Actually sent that guy to Brunwich? β
Looking at Nicole's angry appearance, Ronald asked curiously:
"Is there anything wrong with that man?"
"It's not a problem, it's a psychopath!"
Nicole didn't hide her thoughts about Ronald at all, and began to explain in a very bad tone:
"That Spencer guy was actually a criminal record before he was co-opted."
"But because the place where he committed the crime was Entrode in the midst of the war, and he stole a very powerful treasure and presented it, so he was relaxed here, and finally accepted into the Investigation Bureau."
"Born in that kind of war-torn place, although this guy hasn't committed any crimes recently, his style of acting and dealing with problems are super wrong!"
"Ahh
Speaking of this, Nicole let out a long sigh.
"Ronald, you can hold me up for a few minutes."
"I'll go up and inquire, and then we'll change shifts."
Ronald nodded:
"No problem."
Nicole went to inquire about the time, and he naturally didn't mind helping to substitute for a while.
I watched the investigator girl tiptoe up to the second floor.
Ronald leaned his body against the counter and began to think about what had happened today's day.
The person sent by the headquarters of the Investigation Bureau was actually from Entrod before......
To be honest, he was a little curious.
Judging from the various sources around it, Entrod is a thoroughly military-political state.
In such a world, countries with military policies of mysterious powers.
What kind of social structure will develop?
Ronald's divergent thinking didn't last long, and Nicole soon ran down from the stairs.
But it's different from before.
Her eyes now have a hint of anticipation in a rather strong evil taste.
With both hands firmly around Ronald's shoulders, Nicole invited in a rather excited tone:
"Ronald, do you want to do some investigator work?"
"It's a real investigator!"
