“This is the end of the information obtained through torture.”

“Sales ledger. These guys are needlessly meticulous.”

“It is written about where the medicine flows.

Well, most of them go back to the back alley, or maybe to a private home.

but… It seems like it’s written under a pseudonym… The big meaning is… … ”

“Wait a minute. Hand it back again.”

“Yes… … ”

As the subordinate turned the page again, Deborah, who had been staring at the contents of the page, began to freeze.

The subordinate, who glanced at that figure and caught a glimpse of that beautiful ice-like face, chose not to make a sound and just held his breath.

She’s as beautiful as a snowflake, and if you disturb her before, you might get some bad news.

Deborah, who had been staring at the ledger for a moment, pointed to a corner.

“Do you see this?”

“Hmm… this… ramen… … ?”

“Laura. This is a name that appears several times in the ledger.

The purchase volume is high and the visit cycle is short.”

“Uh… That means… … !!”

“If you are going to use it yourself, you can buy this much at once.

And I wouldn’t buy it this often.

It is likely to be another middle-market book.

Maybe other criminals will be caught once and for all.”

The damage caused by the sale and abuse of illegal drugs, which is currently rampant in the royal capital, is increasing.

There were whispers among the investigators in a situation where they might be able to piece together the facts and uncover the root all at once.

“Then, let’s go to them again and gather related information!!

It won’t take long this time!!”

“Do that.”

.

.

.

“I can’t do that.”

“No one knows that you have good senses.

But this job is overly dangerous.”

“I am always prepared to take risks.”

“So, are you going to raid the noble’s banquet hall based on your ‘confidence’?

Based on the information obtained, it can be said that it is plausible that the middle book appears to be visiting the Academy of St. Plancyna.

I can admit that, and based on the information I have obtained so far, I can approve a search warrant for St. Plancina Academy.

However, it is speculation that it extends to the nobles’ banquet!!

What do you mean to gain by upsetting the famous banquet of Count Froden? ”

The information obtained by interrogating the traffickers and fish sellers caught in this case was truly surprising.

The news is that a woman suspected of selling books through a middleman happened to visit once wearing a school uniform that looked like a student at the academy.

And based on that news, the investigators compared the most recent ledgers and records and found out that a large quantity of drugs had been purchased again some time ago.

In order not to disturb Deborah, who was contemplating something with her eyes tightly closed, they quietly whispered to each other and exchanged opinions.

The speculation caused by the fact that the salesman had purchased a new large quantity of the drug was stark.

It means that there is a seller somewhere that can sell in bulk.

“Catch the criminal. That’s it.”

“Isn’t that what you want to say now!!”

“This is because a banquet cannot be established without being based on luxury and enjoyment.

There are certainly children of nobles who want medicine, and if you sell medicine to them, you will definitely make a big mark.”

“If it doesn’t work, know that it doesn’t work!!”

“They are merchants.

So there is no way you can miss this opportunity.

and… Even the nobles who are rotten to the core… ”

“Deborah!!”

Deborah, who had turned her head to the side due to the momentary shock of her cheeks tingling, slowly turned her head back to face the front again.

What she saw before her eyes was the face of her superior, who was grinning and grinning.

“You still don’t know.

How long are you going to live like that?

I completely understand what you are doing this for!!

But it also means knowing how to accept reality!!”

“But… Inspector… !!”

“It means that even mice and birds disappear without anyone noticing.

You too!! me too!! Other investigators out there too!!

You don’t know what it means to mess with a nobleman, right?!

I, your superior, understand that you are going to drag me to hell.

Because it’s my fault to keep a guy like you until the end!!”

A sound that doesn’t even exist in my heart.

“But what are the other guys guilty of?

These guys do this to make a living.

When those guys go home, their wives and children are waiting for them like jumping rabbits!!

Are you going to push that family into the abyss with your own arbitrariness?”

“I… For the right thing… ”

“There’s no one who doesn’t know that either!!

Am I the only one who finds you unnecessarily strict and annoying?

I know that my heart for more is sincere.

Isn’t that why they follow you too!!

But it doesn’t matter how great you are!!

There is only one. What can a police officer like you do!!”

“……”

Deborah finally kept her mouth shut and quietly lowered her head.

The expression still didn’t change, but the emotion in those eyes was gray disappointment.

As a human being, she was put in a situation where she had to sit down like this with the only goal in front of her to pursue, so she bowed and turned around on the spot.

“Wherever you go!! I guess I’ll go in the end!!”

“Sorry. I understand.

So, I take full responsibility.

If it were just that one dogma, it would definitely be an excuse.

Thank you so much.”

“Wait a minute. Stop there.”

“I’ll try to somehow arrange an invitation through my connections.

How can I even get into the Prodens’ social club?

But the moment an investigator is caught wandering around inside, it’s over.

Do you understand what I’m saying? Move carefully and quietly to find evidence.

If not, don’t even mention the number of investigators there.”

“Police officer… … ”

“Really, for a subordinate that requires this much work.”

“Thank you, father… ”

“Huh? Why am I your father?

Just because you put your child to sleep and feed them doesn’t mean they are parents.

Above all, if I were a parent, I wouldn’t have raised my daughter to be this disobedient.

He was in trouble all over, and my daughter looked just like him… ”

“To me, you were the only remaining family member and parent.

I will never forget that grace.”

“Get rid of unnecessary nonsense.

Let’s get off work today and go prepare to infiltrate.

Are you planning to advertise by saying ‘I am an investigator’?

What are those clothes? After all, if you become a girl, you won’t have any other clothes.

I thought it would only be during my school days that I would build a wall with my social circle…

Tsk… At the very least, I should have always prepared a dress that would be suitable for a match…

Put a credit card in my name, run to the shop in front right away and get a pair!!”

“Yes… thanks… do… … ”

How long has this been?

Perhaps because it had been so long since his expression had changed, the corners of his mouth that he had forgotten how to move were becoming slightly distorted, as if he did not know what kind of expression to make.

Finally, after watching her leave the office in silence, the police officer quietly took out a cigar from the case and showed it to her.

He struck the flint with a small straw and lit the cigar like a small match. He puffed his cheeks for a moment and exhaled slowly.

“If you don’t get married until you reach this age…

He is a father who has only one daughter who is like a stone…

It’s terrible just to think about it, it’s terrible… … What is your father… … ”

However, unlike his words mixed with complaints, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Everything was no different from gambling.

He forced his way through his stubbornness by selling out his superior and adoptive father.

At the very least, his purpose had to be kept secret.

Isn’t that why she even brought a dress that didn’t suit a woman like herself?

Although it has just arrived, it is still in the bag.

“That’s how it happened.

It’s an extension of the external investigation.

So get out, Polcinella.

Because I have no intention of accommodating your foolishness.”

So, as much as I was planning on scaring a foolish, weak-willed girl into revealing everything she knew, there was no way I would feel good about being interrupted while things were going well.

Especially if it’s from someone you don’t like at all.

“But… I can’t just sit by and watch you threaten my student… !!”

“Your circumstances are none of my business.

Or do you want to give it a try?”

“It doesn’t matter how much it is for me, right?

Anyway, if you make a fuss, you’re the one on the wrong side, right Deborah?

And let me tell you one thing, I am also an expert in my own way, right?”

“What… ”

“In the end, don’t you want to find the people who use medicine like water?

If that’s the case, you’ve taken the first step well.

But I pressed the next button wrong.

To begin with, he wasn’t a kid who used medicine.”

“What?”

“Hmm… I’m saying this from an expert’s perspective, but…

As you know, the front line is a living hell where you go back and forth between life and death every minute, right?

As a result, there are quite a few people who do drugs.

I guess it feels like I want to roll happily even if I roll in a poop… … ?”

“So?”

“In that sense…

Have I ever fed it to him before?

Enic’s tentacle powder.”

As the atmosphere became even heavier due to the sudden explosive statement, Deborah, who was glaring at Polcinella, who was smiling softly, placed her hand on the handle of the sword at her waist again.

“That means you can be arrested too.”

“No? Are you saying I should be arrested anyway?

Are you going to parole me right away to call me from the front lines?

Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have any plans with a guy later?”

It was Polcinella who met Deborah’s eyes, which were distorted in irritation at the never-ending prank, but then slowly looked away and let out a shy smile.

She let out a small sigh and this time seemed to continue answering in a relatively serious voice.

“Ha… So the important thing is this.

In the first place, those who were taking any drugs did not react to Enic’s powder.

Its properties are weaker compared to other drugs whose ingredients are concentrated and purified.

in short… If you build up even a little resistance to other drugs, Enic powder won’t even have any effect.

What that means is that this person was a pure body that had never been seen before.

It was really cute back then!! Did you say it was like a whining baby puppy?”

“It would be a waste of time anyway, but I would appreciate it if you could testify about it at trial.”

“In the first place, you can find out if you ask our cute student.

When, where, and from whom you received the medicine. is not it?

Then wouldn’t this be an easy problem to solve?”

“Are you not aware that you are interfering with that, or are you just pretending not to notice?”

“So… Let’s make a deal.

My student is telling you what he knows.

Then you are turning a blind eye to what happened today.

Isn’t this a good deal for both parties?”

“Bargaining doesn’t work.”

Deborah’s eyes were narrowing as she heard Polcinella asking for a deal with the most sinister look on her face that she had ever seen.

Moreover, Deborah even pulls out her sword as long as her fingernails, as if a knife fight is about to occur at any moment.

In a truly imminent situation, the exact moment when Anne, who was feeling restless as she was caught between the two women who were glaring at each other, raised her gaze at the actions of Polcinella, who stood up from her seat and smiled slyly.

“Hmm… It’s salty here… … !! town!! Ugh!!”

“Rotten bitch… You must have important information.”

In the end, Deborah went back to the beginning and reached out her hand to cover Polcinella’s mouth, who was about to scream again. She seemed to be tired of even counting, and seemed to be growling and threatening Anne.

If you’re going to do it anyway, it would be better to extract as much important information as possible.

Then, it would be helpful to the investigation if Anne Monehen could tell her about other cases she was investigating.

In the end, it was Anne who unintentionally became an important reference who made Deborah’s decision.

She could only nod her head tremblingly, feeling the chill seeping into her bones. Her eyes were filled with a deep sense of tension that told her not to make even the slightest mistake.
