I'm a Light Novel Master in Japan

"I retrieved the surveillance records and made my conclusion," Alice said.

"...Your ability is indeed very strong, Alice."

Victoria looked at the information provided by Alice again, smoking a pipe, and had to admit Alice's detective ability.

Victoria was able to smoke in the room, and Alice made an exception once she claimed that it could stimulate active thinking. She was a little cautious, for fear of offending the Japanese loli who wanted to kick her out of the door with the pipe at this moment.

Everything was based on a piece of suspicious information obtained by Shiina Mashiro in England. After reading it with her calm and focused eyes, she recorded all the information in her mind.

In the end, after tens of minutes of reading, I basically reviewed all the materials, and began to screen the materials and data in my mind.

"There is no contradiction on the Japanese side, what about your side?" Victoria asked, looking sideways at Shiina Mashiro.

"...some doubts."

Shiina Mashiro looked at Victoria and Alice, and responded blankly.

"Where is it, how many suspects are there?" Victoria and Alice were taken aback, and they leaned forward and asked.

Zhenbai pointed out a few people in the list, and then briefly explained the contradictions in attendance records, case reports, and thefts. There are conflicting logics in the details of the Indsworth burglary.

Victoria and Alice thought about it, and they also saw the points mentioned by Zhenbai.

"It seems that we have to rule it out and confirm it with that colleague in Europe, but that guy is an old fox, and he probably destroyed all the strong evidence, otherwise we wouldn't have pursued it for so long." Victoria thought carefully and said.

Alice was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Are you going back to Mrs. Forrester?"

"Well, there is no way, the injured have already appeared...the only way is to go back like this."

Victoria showed a somewhat helpless expression, looked at her and said.

Victoria sighed softly, looked at Shiina Mashiro again, and said regretfully: "Unfortunately, the current clues and progress are completely empty in your puzzle. Where is that Mr. Holmes..."

"..." Alice also fell silent. After all, she didn't find a reliable suspect.

Shiina Mashiro sat on the seat silently.

Of course, she further concealed the information, and Alice and Victoria, who were limited by time, geography, and energy, were completely unable to find the original clues.

But I finally understood why the police always missed the opportunity to arrest so perfectly, and why the gun-wielding member was shot dead.

——[There are ghosts inside the police. 】

Shiina Mashiro, who has cooperated with the police, is different from Alice and Victoria, who are wandering around the police. After a few coincidences in the details of the incident, she vaguely felt doubts, forcing her to not fully trust the police in the first place. side.

After Zhenbai stood up again, she finally put her doubts into practice, actively cooperated with the strength of Alice and Victoria, and worked hard to dig out the pair of eyes hidden in the darkness that had been monitoring her.

"Thank you." Zhenbai said to Alice and Victoria.

"You don't need to thank me for this, I haven't used my strength yet, these are the results of Alice's work all night for many days..."

Victoria explained.

"Cough cough cough cough!!"

But before the words fell, Alice, whose cheeks were flushed all the time, suddenly coughed.

Victoria looked at Alice who was coughing violently, apologetically, and said, "Ah, if you are not used to the smell of smoke..."

"No, it doesn't matter." Alice shook her head and retorted bravely.

"..." Victoria always felt that Alice must be too tired, but now that Alice's work is over for the time being, it should be fine for her to take a break.

"Cough cough cough..."

Alice still coughed a few times.

Shiina Mashiro has now given up her own efforts and chose to rely on the power of the legendary "Gothic Lolita Detective Team". Now that it is basically confirmed that the police cannot be trusted, a new problem has appeared in front of them.

It is very possible that relying on the power of the police to catch the leader of the bandit group will be even more difficult... Maybe one of the suspects is the leader himself.

"Holmes trusts me..."

"Qami trust me..."

"Now Rita trusts me too."

Shiina Mashiro lowered his head, thinking silently.

In fact, after finding out that there are spies in the police, it will take a lot of work to arrest the person who hurt Qihai, but she doesn't know if there is enough time to protect the people around her...

Even though Nanami hid the card secretly, Mashiro kept pretending not to know, but the significance of the other party not directly attacking her was too obvious...

The case that really tested Zhenbai was indeed approaching the truth step by step in her peaceful and serene world.

"During this period of time, everyone pay attention to protecting yourself... We are wise, but it doesn't mean we can fight against those guys by force. Detectives are not omnipotent human beings. The opponents may be guys who can even silence their own people. So once in danger, never try to be brave, running away is the most correct choice."

Victoria struggled to confirm and dialed the mobile phone, and finally reminded Alice and Mashiro of the detective's real weakness.

The detective is mainly responsible for finding out the truth, but only the real Mr. Holmes in the novel can find out the truth and participate in the fight.

"Alice, your face is a little red, you'd better take a rest, and leave it to us."

When Victoria and Mashiro went out, they said to Alice.

"I see……"

Alice sent to the door and said.
