Chapter 253 Visitors at Home
The riverside area is an area where a large number of students live.
In such a place where people move frequently, it is always very easy to find stores to buy daily necessities.
In the evening, Ronald returned to the apartment on the river bank with a bunch of messy things, big and small.
Then after walking into the courtyard, he keenly realized that something seemed wrong.
The door to Cynthia's room on the first floor opened inward, and there were residents on the second floor standing at the door, looking cautiously toward the third floor.
Even the maid who was extremely enthusiastic about him was now holding a broom and looking nervously at the third floor, forgetting to do her own job.
This...
if I remember correctly, I am the only tenant on the third floor now.
I've only been out for a few hours to buy some things. Isn't it possible that I'm going to get into trouble again?
Feeling a little helpless, Ronald gently snapped his fingers with his right hand holding a set of sheets, and then walked down the stairs to the third floor.
Judging from the looks of the other residents, at least this won't be an excessive terrorist attack.
But it's better to be careful.
Walking along the stairs to the third floor, Ronald saw that the door he had locked when he went out had been opened.
Fortunately, there was no bloody smell coming from the open door.
But a faint scent of tea.
Feeling relieved, Ronald squeezed into the room with a lot of things in his hands.
On the balcony with its back to the sunset, there were two people sitting there with chairs.
One of them nervously held the teacup in his hand and looked at the man in front of him without moving his eyes for a second.
——This is the landlord Cynthia.
Opposite the girl was a man wearing a neat uniform.
His eyes did not pay attention to the nervous Cynthia in front of him, but looked at the flowers and plants on the balcony.
-This is Spencer.
An 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.
After collecting the information, the Bureau of Investigation sent someone to contact him, the original code holder.
Even taking into account Ronald's mood, the Bureau of Investigation asked Spencer, who had met Ronald once, to come to the door in person.
At this moment, Spencer noticed the movement at the door and turned around.
The second he saw Ronald's figure, he immediately stood up from his chair and walked towards Ronald. The warm smile on his face was not fake at all.
"Ah, Ronald, are you back?"
"I heard you were coming to Springs. I rushed over right away after work today." "
You don't think I came a little abrupt, do you?" "
Of course not." Seeing Si Spencer's reaction put a smile on Ronald's face that he should have when an old friend reunites. Putting down the things in his hands, he immediately walked towards Spencer, "You can come to see me specially. I'm so happy that it's too late. How can I dislike it!" "..." On the other side, watching
Ronald
and Spencer struck up a friendly conversation.
Cynthia, who was sitting on the balcony, had a trace of happiness in her eyes.
But the young landlord didn't want to stay here at all, and immediately stood up and whispered:
"Ro...Mr. Ronald."
"Since it's your friend here, you two should have a good chat."
"I'm here. If you have something to do, why don't you go down first?"
Hearing the voice of the landlady, Spencer immediately waved to her:
"Miss landlady, I was the one who interrupted you earlier."
"Next, Ronald and I will talk slowly. Just go and do your own thing." As
soon as Spencer spoke, Cynthia walked towards the door without looking back like a student after class. Even after leaving the room, she carefully closed it for Ronald and the others. door.
"..."
Watching Cynthia's leaving figure.
Ronald was silent for a few seconds, then walked to the balcony and sat on a chair.
"Spencer, what are you going to ask me when you come to my place today?"
After all, we have experienced a battle with a cult warlock together, and we also understand that the Ronald in front of us is a holder of the original code.
Knowing the gap between the two, Spencer simply replied:
"Actually, it's not a big deal."
"The responsibility of the Investigation Bureau is to make detailed inquiries on the more powerful practitioners."
He said. Then Spencer sat back in his chair.
He knew in his heart that Ronald had also worked in the Bureau of Investigation, so he had no intention of hiding anything. He read out the 'lie detector' mantra openly, and then asked: "
Ronald, let's talk first. The purpose of Burrenwich."
Ronald nodded slightly and replied equally generously:
"I don't have any intention of harming society when I come here. The main purpose is to find the missing Lumil. She may have something about me. Something important about the spell in hand."
Hearing Ronald's answer, Spencer nodded noncommittally.
As an elite investigator of the Bureau of Investigation, he certainly knew part of the relevant content of this matter. At the same time, the 'lie detector' also told him that Ronald in front of him was not lying.
It seems that today's work is also very easy.
With a satisfied smile on his lips, Spencer continued to ask:
"If that's the case, I won't ask more about the purpose of entering the city." "
But according to the procedure, let's talk about your whereabouts last night. "
The landlady told me that you didn't go out all night last night. It shouldn't be anything special, right?"
Ronald was stunned when faced with Spencer's question.
As the landlord, Cynthia naturally had the opportunity to know that she would not see her last night.
I just didn’t expect the landlady to actually tell Spencer about it!
Things may get a little troublesome now.
"..."
On the other side, he saw that Ronald did not answer him directly.
Spencer, with a smile on his face, seemed to have noticed something.
Slowly withdrawing his smile, the elite investigator of Springs moved back a little without leaving a trace, and then put his hands on his side.
Maintaining this movement, Spencer continued to speak:
"Ronald, is there anything hard to say about this?" "..."
Not
only is it hard to say...
I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it!
I spent the whole night with Claudia last night, and even ran away with an original code holder!
Of course, if you think this way in your heart, you can't say it like this.
Still maintaining his calmness on his face, Ronald sat on the balcony and slowly moved his gaze.
While looking at the Weiss River outside, he said in a complicated tone:
"Spencer, after all, we are friends who have fought together, so I don't plan to lie to you about this matter."
After hearing Ronald's words In his tone, Spencer nodded slightly:
"So...?"
With a complicated expression on his face, Ronald replied seriously:
"It's not convenient for me to say anything else."
"But what I said last night, I always With a lady named Claudia."
Upon hearing the name, Spencer murmured in confusion:
"Claudia..."
"Claudia!"
His eyes changed instantly, this elite The investigator stood up from his chair and asked in a slightly distorted voice:
"Ronald!"
"You...you are not kidding me!"
