Chapter 90: Confrontation in the Hall
Looking at Nicole, the young guard asked in a steady tone:
"Ma'am, do you have an appointment?"
Nicole tilted her head slightly, and thought carefully before answering the other party:
"Absolutely."
"You tell the housekeeper directly......"
"It's the one named Congreve, and it's just someone from the bureau."
"Wait a minute."
The guard nodded, and someone immediately went to the mansion to report.
During this time, there were no long-sighted guys who came to look for trouble, and the process of escorting the prisoners after that was simple and easy.
In just a few minutes, the butler Nicole had spoken of came to the door.
Seeing the dress of the two, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.
He immediately stepped forward, whispered a few words to the investigator girl, and signed the note, and then escorted the prisoner back to the depths of the manor.
The whole time, Ronald and they didn't even enter the estate.
Obviously, the warden also understood the current situation in Brenwich, and ordered his men early on.
"Whew-"
Watching the gates of the manor close and the figure disappear from view, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, she asked Ronald in a somewhat complicated tone:
"Ronald, how do you feel about the investigator's job now?"
The investigator girl obviously understands what kind of impact today's encounter will have on ordinary people, so she will ask this question again at such a time.
“......”
Faced with Nicole's serious expression, Ronald pondered for a moment before replying:
"Impressive......
"Well, actually, you were not very lucky, and you bumped into this juncture."
Seeing that Ronald was also serious, Nicole suddenly laughed instead:
"Don't put too much pressure."
"If it really doesn't feel good, I'll go tell Miss Mapel about it, and it's okay to transfer you back to a more relaxed position."
Ronald immediately replied:
"I feel like I can hold on."
Hearing this answer, Nicole immediately raised her toes and patted Ronald on the shoulder with one hand:
"I've been in this business for almost two years, and I can count the number of times I've been in this situation on one hand. In the final analysis, Brenwich's problems came down to the strange technique he had done four days earlier. ”
"If I can find the culprit, I'll have to give him two shots."
"That's it!"
Smack-
Speaking of this, Nicole clapped her hands and turned her head forward as she continued:
"Let's go back to the Bureau of Investigation first."
"After working all morning, and there is this kind of combat link, let's take a break for a while after making a report, or sleep or something, and then go out at night to recuperate."
"No problem."
Ronald nodded, and then followed.
Gradually moving away from the middle of the woods, Nicole hurried away and did not forget to chat with Ronald at the same time:
"That's right, Ronald."
Ronald asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Your black mist, try it on me when you go back, I haven't encountered a technique of this nature yet?"
“......”
"I don't think it'...... good"
Leisurely rushed back to the Investigation Bureau, and on the way, the two of them also settled lunch by the way.
According to Nicole, as long as it is not too excessive, this consumption can be reimbursed by the bureau.
Click-
Pushing open the door of the Investigation Bureau, the two of them stopped together.
Because in the hall of the Investigation Bureau, there are several people facing each other at this moment, glaring angrily, and anyone can feel the anxiety in the air.
As for these two groups......
On one side is the obvious three-person team of the Bureau of Investigation.
On the opposite side, there are three capital investigators from Springs.
It is worth noting that in the middle of these two groups of people there is also a woman who is whimpering, and it seems that she is the culprit who caused the conflict.
At this time, the sound of the door being pushed open was heard, and the two groups of people turned their heads at the same time.
However, after discovering that it was Ronald and Nicole, they turned their gaze back neatly and continued to confront each other in the hall.
“......”
"Ronald, let's walk around."
"I think it's better not to join in this excitement."
Pulling Ronald, Nicole took him with him from the left side of the hall to deal with a cult warlock, and she didn't want to come back and forth to work overtime now.
However, after taking two steps, a white-gold figure appeared in the eyes of the two.
Just on the side of the Bureau, at the end of the table and chair for the hostess, which is not usually used, Patricia sits upright.
Unlike the two times Ronald had seen before, the girl was wearing a modest coat today, which was obviously more suitable for flexible movement, and on the chair next to Patricia, she was leaning on a pure black umbrella.
If it weren't for the fact that his appearance was too outstanding, this would be exactly the appearance of an ordinary citizen.
Seeing the two people walking over, Patricia nodded to the two without pretentiousness:
"Good afternoon, both of you?"
“......”
"Ronald, sit with your friend."
"I'll go up and handle the handover of the task file, and I'll be down in a moment."
After only thinking for a few seconds, Nicole pushed Ronald to sit here, and ran up to the second floor by herself.
“......”
Seeing the figure of the investigator disappear around the corner of the stairs, Ronald looked back at Patricia.
Seeing Ronald turn his head, Patricia immediately smiled and picked up the teapot in front of her:
"Would you like tea?"
"Thank you."
After opening a few polite words to each other, Ronald inadvertently heard a term.
Among the two groups of people facing each other behind him, someone mentioned the name 'Jennifer'.
Isn't that the name of the sorceress who attacked the leather shop owner when he and Nicole investigated this morning?
Could it be that Jennifer is kneeling there?
If that's the case, then these people are fast enough.
The news was delivered in the morning, and as soon as noon passed, people fell down in the lobby of the Investigation Bureau, but they didn't know where the dispute came from.
At this moment, Ronald's expression was noted.
Patricia spoke very directly:
"The one kneeling over there is Jennifer, who was just brought back to the Bureau of Investigation at noon today."
"I heard that the crime was an attack on ordinary people."
Ronald nodded gratefully and continued to ask:
"Do you know the reason for their dispute?"
“......”
Patricia was silent for a few seconds, then gave Ronald a subtle smile.
"It is said that this seductive warlock was just doing their business four days ago, but the power that suddenly erupted in the city had a restraining effect on them like a natural enemy."
"And then ......"
Speaking of this, Patricia took a sip of tea to moisten her throat:
"This guy lost control on the spot and confiscated his hand, fled back to his home and hid until today, before being dragged here by the people of the Investigation Bureau for investigation."
"As for the dispute between the two groups of people, the origin is also very simple."
"It's the philosophical differences between Springs and Brenwich."
