419 Obvious Speculation (1/2)
In the chaotic Garrison Guard station of Small Distant Town, the news of the huge explosion shocked the residents.
The residents, who were used to serenity, gathered in front of the station to take a look.
Cherry's office was in ruins, and the casualties, who were mainly from Eternal Kingdom, couldn't be determined.
The Garrison Guard tried to contact Eternal Kingdom's Lord Sherlock to inform him of the sad news.
Cherry thought of how heartbroken Sherlock would be if he knew about the deaths of his citizens while they were on holiday.
”Take this.”
The Station Inspector placed a towel in front of Cherry.
”Thank you.”
Cherry wasn't injured because the gamers shielded him, but since he was close to the blast, his face and body were covered in dust.
”Thank you, Station Inspector.”
Cherry didn't decline the Station Inspector's good intentions. He wiped himself, and the Station Inspector said, ”You're unlucky. You've only worked for a few days and have already met with such an incident. Our town used to be peaceful. This was the second time such an explosion has happened.”
The Station Inspector noticed that Cherry was quiet and thought that he was intimidated. Cherry was taken aback, and he said, ”Ah, I'm thinking of the incident. Previously, at the Winterfell Garrison Guard station, we had difficult cases, but explosions were rare.”
”Ah-ha… ha… yes, Winterfell is a large Dungeon, so you must be very experienced. Do you have any new leads?”
The Station Inspector sat beside Cherry.
”Ah, are you referring to the Merchant Band case? We obtained the diary yesterday and have some leads. I've investigated many large cases, so I'm experienced. I have detailed speculation!” Cherry boasted.
”I see, that's good. Tell me about it…” the Station Inspector said casually, but Cherry's forehead was full of sweat.
Was he going to give himself away?
”Gosh! Look at what I found!”
While Cherry was hesitating, the gamers in the ruins shouted excitedly.
”Ah! It's a huge discovery!” Cherry stood up excitedly and returned the towel to the Station Inspector before proceeding to the gamers.
A gamer held the diary that was halfway burnt. The Gnome tried to destroy the important diary evidence!
There was a metal piece stuck on one of the pages of the diary. The explosion didn't affect the metal piece. Cherry and the gamers examined the metal piece and saw the words, ”I left everything in the lava cave.”
”Gosh! Let's explore the lava caves!”
”Make haste, the Plot is starting. We'll miss it!”
The gamers shouted various things as they dashed towards the lava caves like bees.
Cherry was speculating in his deep thoughts.
He sensed a sinister conspiracy!
”What did you discover?” his colleague asked when he saw Cherry's solemn face. Cherry was previously the Captain of the Winterfell Garrison Guard, so he must be extremely capable!
Cherry remained silent for a while before saying, ”I don't have a special lead. The lava caves are the key to finding out the truth!”
Cherry looked at the metal piece as he spoke.
His colleagues were impressed by Cherry's speculation, and they applauded.
”Cherry is indeed from Winterfell!”
”He's intelligent!”
”Cherry managed to discover that?”
Cherry wasn't complacent and couldn't be complacent because he hadn't solved the case! ”There must be a terrifying conspiracy behind these two explosions!”
Cherry's eyes glimmered with focus. ”Even when I'm in this tourist resort, I'm still stalked by difficult cases!”
