Chapter 252: A Guest at Home
The riverside area is an area where a large number of students live.
In such a place with a high flow of people, it is always very easy to find a store to buy daily necessities.
In the evening, Ronald returned to his apartment on the riverbank with a mess of things.
Then after walking into the courtyard, he keenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong.
The door to Cynthia's room on the first floor was open inward, and there were still residents on the second floor standing in the doorway, looking carefully in the direction of the third floor.
Even the maid, who was so enthusiastic about herself, now looked at the third floor with a nervous expression on her broom, and even forgot to do her job.
This......
If memory serves, the third floor is now the only tenant of its own.
I've only been out for a few hours to buy something, so won't there be any trouble for me?
Feeling a little helpless, Ronald snapped his fingers lightly with his right hand holding a set of sheets, and then walked down the stairs to the third floor.
Judging by the other residents, at least this time it will not be an overly terrorist attack.
But it's better to be careful.
Walking down the stairs to the third floor, Ronald saw that the locked door had been opened when he went out.
Fortunately, there was no smell of blood wafting through the open door.
Rather, it is a faint tea aroma.
With a sigh of relief, Ronald squeezed into the room with a large pile of things in his hands.
On the balcony with his back to the setting sun, there were two people sitting there with chairs at the moment.
One of them nervously held the teacup in his hand, and looked at the man in front of him without taking his eyes off for a second.
- This is the landlord, Cynthia.
And across from the girl was a man in a neat uniform.
His eyes didn't pay attention to Cynthia, who was nervous in front of him, but looked at the flowers and plants on the balcony.
- This is Spencer.
Elite investigator from Springs.
It turned out to be this guy......
Just seeing the scene in front of him, Ronald already understood most of it in his heart.
After counting the information, the Investigation Bureau really sent someone to contact him, the holder of the original text.
Even considering Ronald's mood, the Bureau of Investigation still asked Spencer, who had a relationship with Ronald, to come to the door in person.
It was then that Spencer noticed movement in the door and turned around.
The next second he saw Ronald's figure, he immediately got up from his chair and walked over to Ronald, with a warm smile on his face that showed no pretense.
"Ah, Ronald, you're back?"
"I heard you came to Springs, and I rushed over right away after work today."
"You don't think I'm coming abruptly, right?"
"Of course not." Seeing Spencer's reaction, Ronald also had the smile on his face that he should have when his old friend was reunited. While putting down the things in his hand, he immediately walked towards Spencer, "You can come to see me specifically, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I dislike it!" ”
“……”
On the other side, Ronald and Spencer struck up a friendly conversation.
Cynthia, who was sitting on the balcony, had a hint of happiness in her eyes.
But the young landlord didn't want to stay here at all, so he immediately stood up and whispered:
"Luo ...... Mr. Ronald. ”
"Since it's your friend here, then you two can have a good chat."
"I have something to do here, so I'll go down first?"
Hearing the voice of the landlady, Spencer immediately waved at her:
"Miss Landlord, I was the one who disturbed me before."
"Then I'll talk to Ronald slowly, and you can go about yourself."
As soon as Spencer spoke, Cynthia walked towards the door without looking back, and even after leaving the room, she carefully closed the door for Ronald and them.
“……”
Watching Cynthia's back as she left.
Ronald was silent for a few seconds before he walked out to the balcony and sat down on a chair.
"Spencer, what are you here to ask today?"
After all, they had experienced the battle with the cult warlock together, and they also understood that Ronald in front of them was a canon holder.
On the premise of knowing the gap between the two, Spencer replied simply:
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
"The responsibility of the Investigation Bureau is to make some detailed inquiries about the more powerful spellcasters."
As he spoke, Spencer sat back in his chair.
He knew in his heart that Ronald had also worked in the Bureau of Investigation, so he didn't intend to hide anything, and generously recited the 'polygraph' incantation, and then asked:
"Ronald, let's talk about the purpose of coming to Brunwich."
Ronald nodded slightly, and replied equally generously:
"I didn't come here with any intention of endangering society, but my main purpose was to find the missing Lumir, who may have some important things about the spells in my hands."
Hearing Ronald's answer, Spencer nodded noncommittally.
As an elite investigator of the Bureau of Investigation, he certainly knew some of the relevant content of this matter, and at the same time, the 'polygraph' also told him that Ronald in front of him was not lying.
It seems that today's work is also very easy.
A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Spencer continued to ask:
"If that's the case, I won't ask much about the purpose of entering the city."
"But according to the process, let's tell me about your whereabouts last night."
"The landlady told me that you didn't go out all night last night, it shouldn't be something special, right?"
Faced with Spencer's question, Ronald was stunned.
As a landlord, Cynthia naturally had the opportunity to know that she didn't see each other again last night.
It's just that I didn't expect the landlady to tell Spencer about it!
Now things may be a little troublesome.
“……”
On the other side, seeing that Ronald did not answer himself directly.
Spencer, who had a smile on his face, seemed to sense something.
Slowly retracting his smile, the elite investigator of Springs moved back a little without a trace, and then put his hand at his side.
Maintaining this movement, Spencer continued to speak:
"Ronald, is there anything bad about this?"
“……”
It's hard to say......
I'm afraid I'm going to scare you to death if I say it!
I spent a night with Claudia last night, and I ran away with a canon holder!
Of course, if you think so, you can't say that.
With his face still calm, Ronald sat on the balcony and slowly moved his gaze.
While looking at the Vis River outside, he said in a complicated tone:
"Spencer, we're friends who fought together after all, so I'm not going to lie to you about it."
Hearing Ronald's tone, Spencer nodded slightly:
"So ......?"
With a complicated expression on his face, Ronald replied earnestly:
"I'm not in a position to say anything else."
"But last night, I was with a lady named Claudia."
Hearing the name, Spencer muttered with some confusion:
"Crow ......"
"Claudia!"
His eyes changed instantly, and the elite investigator stood up directly from his chair, and even asked in a somewhat distorted voice:
"Ronald!"
"You...... You're not kidding me! ”
