Funina, please let me steal your heart!

if it is like this....

Xia Wole put the notebook into the evidence bag and handed it to the Meilushin people in Zhuyingting.

Merusin, a wonderful creature unique to Fontaine.

With its round head and body and big, bright, blinking eyes, it looks like a character from a fairy tale picture book at first glance.

But they usually have excellent senses, can do some tasks that are difficult for humans to do, and detect clues that are difficult for humans to find.

Therefore, Zhuyingting has many Meilushin responsible for detection and investigation.

They are often good companions and teammates of the special patrol team and the security team...but there are also many people who simply think that they are perfect mascots.

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Xiawolei!" The Meilushin and others saluted sincerely.

"You too, how's the situation?" Xia Wulei returned the greeting.

"Although these people have broken some bones, they are not dead. The thief lady was really precise in her attack."

Not dead?...Xiawolei thought they were all dead.

It seems that he was just sleeping too deeply, like a baby.

After completing the subsequent handover work, the special patrol team ended the operation and returned to the headquarters.

Except for Chavolet.

"...It's about time you show up."

As she spoke, she turned around and raised her eyes.

The familiar figure was sitting on the tree with her legs crossed. The shadows of the leaves obscured her face, but Xiawolei was sure that she was smiling.

Luna asked with interest: "When did you notice me?"

“From the moment I left the scene.”

"It is a pity that Mademoiselle Chavore has been able to endure till now."

Xia Volei said coldly: "Because I want to see how serious the thief's voyeurism is."

"That depends on how beautiful Miss Chavore is," Luna said nonchalantly.

Xiawolei: “….”

Luna: ".......Why don't you pick up your rifle? A criminal is jumping around in front of you."

Xiawolei folded her hands and closed her eyes.

"I won't thank you. You destroyed an important criminal den, but you are also a criminal. As the captain of the special patrol team, I will not treat you well."

"I don't need your thanks either." Luna said lightly.

"That would be best."

Although he wouldn't thank Luna, he wouldn't draw his gun now.

This is the attitude of Chavore.

Xiawolei was silent for a moment and asked, "Why do you do this?"

21: It’s changed ahhhhh (referring to the offensive)

Luna swung her feet. "'Why do you do that?' Even if you asked me that, I wouldn't know what you meant."

Xiawolei said calmly: "Why attack them who are also criminals?"

"Need a reason?"

Luna didn't care about Xiawolei's temptation.

Even though she couldn't see her face clearly, Xiawolei could feel that she was smiling in an irritating way.

She jumped down from the tree lightly, and as expected, she said with a smile: "Would you like to hear a story?"

"You say and I listen."

Luna put her hands behind her back and paced, "Well, a long time ago, there was a little girl whose parents died in a shooting, but the little girl survived because she was buying an ice cream cone at the time."

"And the criminal who committed the shooting was a man who was addicted to Lexicon and so poor that he had to sell his soul to the devil."

"The little girl thought justice would come, but she didn't expect that until she grew up, the criminal had not been caught, and there was an asterisk painted on his arm..."

Asterisk? I've never heard of such a criminal trait.

But since it was a case from a long time ago, there should still be records in the files.

There was an elusive light in Xiawolei's eyes. Although the special patrol team was the voice of justice, she had also seen many people who went astray because justice was delayed.

"Do you...remember any other characteristics?"

Luna raised her head: "How could I possibly remember something like this."

Yes, she should have been a child at that time.

"After all, I made it up."

"........."

Xiawolei took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was rising up in her.

She seemed like a fool for having felt sympathy for Luna just now.

Like a fool.

"Is lying fun?" Xiawolei asked in a low voice.

"It depends on the situation, the person, and my current status. It's not a good idea to believe the words of a thief, Miss Captain."

Luna touched the mask on her face.

"You may be expecting me to give you a reason for my deep hatred, but there is no such thing. I want to get rid of them for a simple reason - they have the treasure I want."

She flicked up the blood-colored gem, gently grasped it, and placed it on the tip of her index finger. The gem sparkled in the moonlight, shining with a brilliance that displeased Xia Wulei.

"I wanted to, so I did them all."

Xia Wulei was silent for a while: "You mean, you can do whatever you want?"

"Yes, as to whether you believe it or not, it's up to you."

Luna's demeanor and behavior remained calm throughout the entire process, without any change.

But this is abnormal. Generally speaking, people will have subtle reactions when they lie, unless... they have undergone special training.

The Special Patrol Team has this kind of anti-interrogation training.

Xia Wulei raised her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

"Phantom Thief."

"True identity."

"Of course it's the Phantom Thief."

"That's nonsense." Xia Wulei frowned.

Luna smiled and said, "How can this be considered nonsense? Without the mask, I can be anyone, maybe a member of the security team, or maybe a girl having fun on the street..."

"But with the mask on, you can tell who I am at a glance, right?"

Luna blinked and said, "Isn't this the most real thing?"

She was also very good at sophistry. Xia Wulei thought to herself that she would not accept such straightforward misleading thinking.

There is only one truth.

Luna yawned, "It's almost time to go back to bed. Good night, Miss Xiawolei."

"and many more."

Luna was not surprised. Xiawolei talked to her, definitely not because she wanted to have a friendly exchange with the thief, or because she had developed unnecessary emotions.

She turned around and put her hands in front of her so that she could draw the pistol at her waist at any time.

"Why, Miss Chavore, do you want a goodnight kiss?"

Xia Volei selectively ignored Luna's words and put one hand on her waist: "I have something to ask you."

"9 years old, a Phantom Thief. Female, likes beautiful things, unmarried, no partner."

"——How did you know the whereabouts of this gang?"

It was obviously difficult for Zhuyingting to catch up with them.

This is what I wanted to ask, Luna thought.

Luna stared into Xiawolei's eyes and said, "I've heard that Miss Xiawolei has a special style of doing things, but I didn't expect that she would actually ask the prisoner what he thinks."

The Special Patrol Team is not only a special department in the Law Enforcement Court, its captain Xia Wole is also special.

In the past, when people mentioned Xiawolei, they would call her "the daughter of sinners."

Because his father was once a member of the security team, but he violated the rules and regulations of the security team, leaked important case information, and became the defendant of the opera house.

He was then exiled to Meropeburg.

His daughter, Xiawolei, later became a member of the special patrol team.

Xiawolei has a unique style of handling cases, and he even invites serious criminals who are still serving their sentences to serve as temporary "special consultants."

"Is it really okay to ask me about this Phantom Thief?"

Luna said in a more serious tone: "Miss Captain?"

Xiawolei's expression remained unchanged: "If dignity and face can keep Fontaine peaceful, then it would be the best. If not, then it is useless."

"The greatest insult to order and justice is the crime of criminals remaining at large."

"And now, sinners who are more unforgivable than you are harming countless innocent people. I will choose the lesser of two evils, so I will deal with them first."

Xia Vole tightened her gloves and said, "Of course, I will send you to jail, too. It's just a matter of order."

There was no falsehood in her words or actions. She was so frank that people felt refreshed and didn't even feel any disgust.

Luna rubbed her lips, thinking.

"...Of course I can tell you, but I'm not a kind person who will share the information with you unconditionally."

Xia Wulei pointed out: "You want to make a deal."

"Unwillingly?"

"Say what you want."

I've been waiting for you to say this.

Luna approached Xiawolei, ignoring her sharp gaze, and placed her hand on her shoulder, moving it slowly towards her neck.

Then, there was a solid touch pressing against the side of the abdomen.

It was undoubtedly the muzzle of a gun.

Chavolet was holding a pistol against her side.
