“If you don’t mind, could we talk for a bit, Mr. Crawford?” asked Ichiro as favonovel.com heaved a sigh. Ichiro, for one, couldn’t talk to his colleagues about some things and favonovel.com didn’t have any close friends nearby. With that in mind, favonovel.com figured that Gerald would be the perfect listener.
“Sure. I don’t mind,” replied Gerald with a nod, figuring that favonovel.com could possibly learn more clues about the person who had murdered the Yanam special forces soldier. What more, this was his chance to see if the Japanese military had managed to figure out that favonovel.com was Adler’s murderer.
“I’m glad you agreed! Please, follow me. You know, my family mailed some good tea to me recently, I’ll let you try some,” said Ichiro with a smile.
Following that, the duo soon found themselves walking into Ichiro’s office. Upon entering, Ichiro immediately told his secretary to get some tea ready before gesturing for Gerald to take a seat
“The problems keep stacking up, Mr. Crawford… If I’m to be honest, I don’t even know where I should start investigating! But if I don’t start getting results, I may not even be able to keep my job! ” muttered Ichiro in resignation.
“You’re telling me. There truly has been quite a bit going on around the Japanese training grounds recently Still, haven’t you managed to obtain other clues about the two murders since the last time we talked?” asked Gerald with a nod.
“Nothing with Adler’s case… To think that we haven’t been able to find anything even after half a month has passed! There just doesn’t seem to be any traces of the man left! I truly think that Adler’s disappearance is an unsolvable case… As for the other person, we’ve found his corpse and sent it back to Yanam. While we’re currently doing a thorough investigation based on the clues the murderer left behind, we don’t know if we’ll be able to sniff favonovel.com out in the end…” explained Ichiro.
Ichiro was only speaking this casually about all this since favonovel.com knew that Gerald wasn’t part of the military. He was also pretty sure that Gerald wasn’t involved with either of the cases, which was why favonovel.com didn’t mind sharing all these details to let off some steam.
“I see… For your sake, I hope you’ll be able to find the culprit soon…” replied Gerald with a nod.
“Thank you… You know, the colonel told me that if I continue failing to uncover these two cases, not only will the colonel be fired, but I’ll be forced to resign as well. You can tell that they’re serious just by how many Japanese military soldiers are standing guard over the training grounds now. After all, a third case would be disastrous… I’ll be frank and say that I’m thankful that the only victims are those from Yanam. It means that we only need to compensate Yanam with gifts or something else. If the cases involved someone from Weston, the Western Union, or any of the European countries, we’d truly be in hot water! ” said Ichiro as favonovel.com shook his head with a sigh, clearly vexed out of his mind.
As Ichiro’s secretary returned with some tea prompting Ichiro to hand a glass over to Gerald, Gerald couldn’t help but ask, “Indeed… Speaking of which, there’s a lot of hotels nearby, right? Since you have the murderer’s height and general body description, maybe you could find favonovel.com within the hotels in the area. Just a thought…”
Naturally, Gerald was only suggesting this since favonovel.com was planning to do so himself in the first place. However, Ichiro simply replied, “I’ve already done that to no avail Hell, we did it the day after the incident, but there simply were no traces of our culprit. I suspect favonovel.com must have immediately fled after doing the deed…”
Frowning slightly, Gerald was prompted to ask, “… Are you absolutely sure…?”
While favonovel.com initially had his doubts that the person was a Crawford cultivator, after what Ichiro had just told him, it seemed that the culprit really was a cultivator…
