At a glance, I knew that Lieutenant General Ghost Spider was getting irritable again.

Although the interim boss's face was enough to frighten good women from the first time we met, and the ferocious expression that could stop a child from crying by the way has not changed, but... now his eyes are really not kind.

Let's put it this way~

If you describe the ghost spider lieutenant general in recent days as a big cat who stepped on a wooden thorn and fidgeted, then now, he is staring at me from behind the desk, he is bleeding from a cold/gun attack and wants to fight back of beasts.

With a cold face and gloomy eyes, he looked at people with a sharp murderous intent.

At this moment, the eyes of the two met, and in an instant he looked away as if nothing had happened, and focused on his own adjutant, Creevey, "Go get the file of Lieutenant Colonel Uriel."

"Lord Lieutenant General—" Adjutant Creevey seemed a little puzzled.

"When the woman comes, put her in a secluded place first..."

Speaking of this, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider suddenly stopped for some reason, glanced at the corner of his eyes without any trace, and hooked the corner of his mouth lazily with a cigarette in his mouth, and then said, "Thousands of years, after the questioning, you are responsible for appeasing the other party." mood."

Eh?I was stunned for a while, and then I realized that I subconsciously straightened my back, "Yes, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider."

So, after doing nothing for so many days, I finally got a substantive job to do, which is really gratifying and congratulations, ╮(╯_╰)╭.

……

For the next hour or so, I followed Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, quietly waiting for the work he had given him to do, to calm down and so on.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the inquiry must end first.

In the secluded room arranged by Adjutant Creevey, the lady who came with the guards was very young and beautiful, as beautiful as Mrs. Aisha yesterday.

The facial features are beautiful, the temperament is weak, and the eyes are red with tears before speaking.

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider may be more aware of his own...er characteristics than I thought, such as being easy to scare the timid, so he didn't ask the other party anything in person, but let Adjutant Creevey lead the conversation, and In addition, a handsome young sailor was arranged to assist.

Lieutenant Creevey looks calm and gentle, and his demeanor is indeed easier to reassure women than Lieutenant Admiral Ghost Spider. With the baby-faced young sailor, the two of them sang together, which quickly made the man who was a little bit at a loss The young lady stopped choking, and went on to explain the ins and outs clearly.

Adjutant Creevey had previously explained the consequences of the whole incident.

Ms. Angelina, who came to the headquarters in the morning, claimed to be in love with Lieutenant Colonel Ulier. Last night, she and her boyfriend made an appointment to meet and plan to have a good night together, but her boyfriend missed the appointment and didn't even make a phone call.

By the way, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider confirmed via telephone snail an hour ago that Lieutenant Colonel Uriel's life paper was burned...

Hmm~ If I don't have many reliable impressions left in my mind, things like life paper are unique items in this world, and they can reflect the vitality of the owner. [Burn], it means death, right?

Standing quietly in the most unobtrusive corner of the room, my eyes were empty, and I listened to Miss Angelina's crying narration with one ear.

……

General Kizaru Uh~ That guy insisted on me calling him 'Porusalino', he was so enthusiastic... Okay~ Classmate Polusalinobo, it is said that he and I, plus the current General Akainu , three of them are classmates.

Put aside the digression first.

Polusalino explained my confusion and pension issue in great detail yesterday.

The death benefit is a system of the Navy, literally, and what I am curious about is not the existence of the pension, no matter which world will have that thing~ I am not an idiot, what I care about is the amount.

Polusalino reported to me a...soundingly coveted figure, and it was just umm~ the amount that the family of a Lieutenant Colonel who died in the line of duty would receive, which I improvised as an example.

In addition, my old classmate Polusalino, for some reason, suddenly put forward a hypothesis: If I marry him, in case he returns home unfortunately, I will immediately get a sum of money that is enough to lie on my bed for the rest of my life. Money on a golden mountain.

I don't know if he was joking, but he seemed to be in high spirits at the time...

Uh~ It's really puzzling, isn't it?

Who would come up with such a thing?In order to leave a sum of money to get married and then he dies, the friendship between me and him at the beginning was not so terrifying, right?It's really strange.

I categorically rejected General Huang Yuan's kindness, and the other party was a little disappointed. Of course, as for why he was disappointed, I didn't want to go into the reason at all.

Then the topic of deviation continued to come back, and when it came to pensions... To be honest, I just had a flash of inspiration on this issue. I didn't accidentally meet the man and woman yesterday afternoon, so there was no further text at all.

Or maybe, the issue of the pension really has nothing to do with my stay under the command of the ghost spider general. I am a person whose thinking is very diffuse, and I often think too much and tend to be suspicious.

Polusalino told me that he stayed under the command of the ghost spider to help me. He was vague, and he had no way of knowing what was going on. According to my observations in recent days, the ghost spider lieutenant general is also very rare here.

But now... I originally thought it was Polusalino's paranoid abnormality. It seems that it is not General Kizaru who is suspicious and ill, but that it is true and has already revealed its clues~...

Withdrawing the thought of turning to the narrow path, I silently stared at the ghost spider lieutenant general who was also in this corner but was sitting on a single sofa, then turned my eyes away and looked at the center of the room The three people in the group of guest chairs.

The mood of the young lady Angelina seemed to have calmed down after the narration. Although she still held a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes from time to time, her crying almost disappeared.

The conversation led by Adjutant Creevey came to an end, and the baby-faced sea soldier got up and picked up the hot water on the coffee table and handed it to Miss Angelina, while giving her a very friendly smile.

I retracted my gaze and lowered my eyes.

Originally, it seemed that it was my turn to play at this time, but... unless it was absolutely necessary, I really didn't want to step forward.

As I said yesterday, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider’s nerves seem to be as thick as water pipes, and part of it is because I was melancholy about what he said, helping to appease the emotions of the families of the soldiers who died in battle.

Men are fools.

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider is one of the best, and he clearly knows it well, otherwise he wouldn't have said something like 'I'm used to it,' and he planned to let me enter the logistics department to appease the families of the soldiers who died in battle. this kind of thing...

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider's brain is actually flooded, right?

Anyone can do better than me, right?If Lieutenant General Ghost Spider thinks that diverting emotions to appease grief is also a good way, then that's another matter.

It's not that I'm too self-indulgent, but that over the years, the attitudes, desires, and disgust of men and women when they first met me may be ignored by people with a strong will.

Other than these, I haven't come across anything unexpected.

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider's idea of ​​asking me to receive military family members who have lost their loved ones is really...unique.

……

Xu saw that I hadn't moved for a long time, and the lieutenant general of the ghost spider next to me gave a cold snort, but before he could really speak, someone knocked on the door outside the room.

After Fei Express gave him a rather displeased look, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider immediately turned his gaze away, and raised his chin to Creevey who was silently watching him and waiting for a signal.

Mr. Adjutant went to open the door tacitly.

The face waiting outside the door was that of a general who had been ordered by Lieutenant General Ghost Spider to go out and track down.

……

After a short conversation, Lieutenant Creevey closed the door and turned back, walked quickly to Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, said a few words in a low voice, and then Lieutenant General Ghost Spider stood up and motioned me to follow him.

A group of three people, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, Adjutant Creevey, and me.

The baby-faced sailor and Angelina still stayed in the room, maybe there were some details that needed to be known, but the one who left was about to go to the place where Lieutenant Colonel Uriel last appeared to investigate the details.

It has to be said that the Navy's action is very fast. The general who was ordered to leave the headquarters to track down the whereabouts of Lieutenant Colonel Uriel returned to the town in less than an hour and brought back accurate news: Lieutenant Colonel Ulier stayed at the hotel.

When the Navy went to investigate, the hotel owner said that he did not see Lieutenant Colonel Ulier leave with his own eyes, but that there was indeed no one in the room.

Looking at it now, the hotel room, if there is no accident, may be the scene?

……

After thinking about it, I raised my eyes, looked at the backs of the temporary boss and his adjutant, pursed the corners of my mouth quietly, then lowered my eyelids, and continued to make a part of the quiet background.

Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, about two meters away in front of him, his snow-white general's cloak swung sharply as he walked. Even if he was silent, people could feel the tension he was exuding at this moment.

It was a mixture of anger and cruelty, like a sky about to rain, chaotic and oppressive.

……Dividing line……

Marine Verde is an island that almost represents the headquarters of the Navy.

Of course, only almost.

There are towns on Marine Verde Island, most of the residents are military members, and there are also businessmen, and... um... According to Polusalino, apart from the commercial areas in residential areas where serious business is done, the busiest one is the tavern street.

When there is no war, it is understandable to think that the young men who are full of blood will not make trouble when they leave the barracks, and the industry with an ambiguous nature exists.

Therefore, hotels can be seen everywhere.

My old classmate looked cautious when he mentioned the existence of nightclubs in the town of Marineford, although I don't know what he was worried about. How could he not try women at his age?

Unless it's a biased orientation, or something wrong with me... But those have nothing to do with me.

The other thing is, I think... Polusalino is actually quite... dumb.

Really.

Or maybe I had a really good relationship with him back then?

So good that he would tell me about things like going to a nightclub to find sex.

Or maybe... At the beginning, we have almost developed a friendship like a 'girlfriend'?

……

The corners of my eyes twitched silently, I stopped all kinds of cranky thoughts, collected my thoughts, and focused on the current affairs in progress before the briquettes came out of my brain.

Fifteen minutes ago, the staff of Lieutenant General Ghost Spider entered this block, and quickly dispersed to guard several important entrances and exits, and began to secretly curb/enforce it.

Lieutenant Colonel Uriel stayed in this hotel, and the guests who had not left at this moment were gathered together and accepted routine questioning in turn; the hotel owner was taken to a separate room, and Adjutant Creevey was still present, starting from every detail, a item description.

I was still quietly standing behind Lieutenant General Ghost Spider. At this time, I was hearing the hotel owner talk about what he saw and heard when he habitually inspected the store before his break last night.

Lieutenant Colonel Ulier is a frequent visitor to this hotel, and the boss is very impressed with the handsome lieutenant colonel under Ghost Spider's command.

It may also be because he didn't know that the other party was dead. When Adjutant Creevey talked about the guests who stayed overnight yesterday, the hotel owner with Mediterranean hair looked quite... ambiguous.

"Mr. Ulier has booked Room 309 in the hotel for a long time, and he often comes to stay overnight, and he is accompanied by different beautiful ladies every time." The hotel owner smiled meaningfully, "Young ladies don't seem to know this."

"Mr. Ulier came here by himself yesterday, but he also said he was meeting friends."

"At about two o'clock at night, I was going to look around before going to bed. I passed Room 309 and heard the sound in the room was a little louder, so I knocked on the door."

He seemed a little embarrassed, raised his hand and touched his forehead, and said in a low voice, "There are other customers in the store, I want to remind Mr. Uriel not to make too...uh~ intense noise."

"It was a lady who opened the door. After my advice, there was no movement beyond the sound insulation."

"The hotel waiter cleaned up the room in the morning, and Mr. Ulier left at some point."

After finishing speaking, he carefully sized Adjutant Creevey a few times, the hotel owner rubbed his hands, and quickly glanced at Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, his expression finally looked a little ugly, "Excuse me... Mr. Uriel... what happened?" ?”

No one answered his question. After a few seconds of silence, Adjutant Creevey asked back, "The woman who opened the door, do you remember what she looks like? What are her characteristics?"

"Well... er..." The hotel owner was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, "That lady seems to be taking a bath... er..."

……

"Sorry, may I interrupt?" I raised my hand. "A few minutes."

"Huh?" Lieutenant General Ghost Spider squinted at the corner of his eye, and seemed to think for a moment before nodding.

Putting my hands down, I smiled at the hotel owner, "Is the woman who opened the door wearing a bathrobe, or a towel at all?"

"You're so focused on your breasts and thighs that you don't have time to pay attention to anything else?"

Seeing the other person's slightly wide-eyed eyes, I paused for a few seconds, then sighed, and then said, "The hair is wrapped in a big bath towel, and the face is covered with a mask or something that can cover up all the physical features?"

"Except for a body that's good enough to turn you on?"

"Uh..." The hotel owner blushed in embarrassment, his eyes dodged, "Then what... indeed..."

"I knew it would be like this." I spread my hands, sighed in anticipation, thought about it and then asked, "She blocked the door, but you can almost see the situation in the room, try to recall , is there anything weird?"

"Uh——" The hotel owner was silent for a long time this time, as if he was trying to remember, and after a while, he said, "There are candles in the room, which are relatively dark, and there is very strong incense, and there is water in the bathroom." Voice."

I squinted my eyes, "Red candlelight?"

"Yes." The other party nodded affirmatively.

"Okay~" I shrugged, and turned my gaze to Lieutenant General Ghost Spider, "I'm done asking."

……

Staring at me for a long time, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider took down the cigarette he was biting at the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows twitched, "Then?"

"Are you willing to trust me?" I also raised my eyebrows. "If you are interested in the crime scene, I can help you a little. Otherwise, it's okay. After all, the person is dead, isn't it?"

After the words fell, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider's expression became more ferocious, "The scene of the crime? Room 309?"

"If there are no accidents." I looked away from him, and my eyes fell on the hotel owner whose expression became horrified, "Is the waiter who cleaned the room in the morning there? Can he explain the situation in detail? "

"I don't know who cleaned the room in the first place. Mira said it was clean when she went there." The hotel owner's expression collapsed, and his face was extremely ugly. "Mr. Uriel is dead? God!"

Before his screams were over, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider waved his hand with a headache on his face, and then the conscientious adjutant immediately stepped forward and asked the hotel owner to leave without refusing.

Handing the mournful boss to the guards waiting outside the room, Adjutant Creevey turned back.

……

"Okay now, repeat the destruction scene." I raised my hand and rubbed my forehead, feeling a little headache, "I'm writing something, please arrange it as soon as possible, Lieutenant General."

"Creevey, give her the paper and pen." Lieutenant General Ghost Spider said grimly, his expression was like grinding his teeth, "While writing and talking, why did you know the situation in the early hours of last night!"

Staring at the pen and paper handed over by Lieutenant Creevey, I shook my head, temporarily let go of the fact that I am not suitable for writing in this world, and said another thing first, "It is a means to divert attention in emergencies, very effective."

At least it works surprisingly well when I use it.

The corner of my mouth twitched, and I showed a hypocritical smile to the temporary boss with extremely fierce eyes. Although his attitude was really not good, from the first day to this moment, I have never dispelled my doubts.

But...for Polusalino's sake...after all, I agreed too, didn't I?

To be a man is to keep your word, so ah~

"The dark red candlelight covers up other colors in the room, as does the incense."

"In that situation, the blood and blood stains will be blurred in a short period of time, and then there will be plenty of time, and no one will disturb until dawn, enough to leave safely."

"Bold and careful people can usually do it."

……

"Then what do you want to do?" It was Adjutant Creevey who asked the question, still holding a pen and paper, and cast his eyes at his chief as he spoke, as if waiting for the other party to show him.

"No matter how clean the cleaning is, some traces can't be covered up." I shrugged and thought for a while to come up with a compromise, "I'll tell you what I need, and you can write it down. My spelling is not good enough. .”

Lieutenant Creevey was startled, and before he could answer, Lieutenant General Ghost Spider suddenly took a step to block me, with a lowered face and a gloomy expression, "So clear about the little tricks that can't be seen..."

"Thousands of years, are you a spy who changed careers?"
