Fog Formula-Warning Book of Fog City Search Chief's Strange Talk

"The map in your hands seems to be a little more detailed than mine?"

The girl looked at the two people in front of her with deep puzzlement.

"Where did your maps come from?"

"..."

This is a fatal question, so that the moment the question came to their ears, Hino Minota and Gentaichi's bodies shook violently. They glanced at each other, and it was immediately clear that this was a problem that could not be disclosed-especially when this kind of owner was staying in the same hotel as them.

"Instead of discussing this..."

However, Hino Minoru reacted quickly, and he immediately shifted his gaze to the girl in front of him, staring sharply into her eyes.

"Why don't you ask Quan to explain, where did your document come from? After all, compared to the one we have, the one in your hand looks more like a pirated copy, right?"

"Of course it was taken from the client." Izumi Saori's expression remained unchanged, but she calmly replied to the two, "Why, don't you?"

"Of course we do too." Hino shrugged his shoulders, "But looking at it this way, the clients on both sides should not be the same."

"Does that mean we can't reach an agreement?" Quan Saori looked at the flashlight in his hand, then turned his wrist to look at his watch, "The time is now 8:30, and there are two hours before the curfew. If you go back now If you want to get something, maybe it’s too late, right?”

"No, we can agree, why can't we agree?" However, after hearing this sentence, Hino Minoru laughed directly, and his attitude took a 180-degree turn. He sent the document directly through the contact information without hesitation, and even The details of the exchange have not yet been finalized.

"We can change, of course we can."

"...you don't seem to have much work ethic about protecting the privacy of your clients."

This attitude was so straightforward that even Izumi Saori was surprised, but the other party was so straightforward, and she didn't want to show too much hesitation. After receiving the file on the phone, she just glanced at it roughly, and raised her hand to take it out of the bag. Got a spare flashlight. She took two steps forward and placed the flashlight on the ground between the two of them, then took a few steps back to keep a distance from the other party.

"But... yes, there is no need to return it."

"Our client is a little special this time, I don't think they will care about it."

Hino Mino seemed to understand the other party's thoughts very well. He didn't express any opinion on the vigilance shown by Izumi Saori. He just walked over and picked up the flashlight on the ground, turned it on for a while, checked the power, and then turned it on Put away to save power.

"It turned out to be like this..."

At the same time, Izumi Saori looked at the detailed markings on the document, and compared his previous guesses about the crude road map, and solved many doubts for a while.

During the whole process, Hino Minoru did not continue to speak very gentlemanly, and stood there silently waiting for Izumi Saori to read the sent documents from beginning to end before asking her.

"Have you finished reading it? Do you have any ideas for the next step?"

"That's my business." But Izumi Saori didn't seem to be ready to get close to them. After reading the document, she raised her hand and put away her mobile phone, shifted her gaze to the two people in front of her, and shrugged slightly.

"Is it a bit out of line to ask some of these news? From a standpoint, it seems that we should be opponents."

"Strictly speaking, it's true, but I think Izumi-san, as the person in charge of the ghost story investigation agency, shouldn't be such a pedantic person." Hino Mi showed a "hehe" smirk, raised his hand and stroked his hat, and made a Inviting gesture.

"The purpose of both of us is to investigate this case. Our employer just expects us to solve the problem, and doesn't want us to bring anything back to deal with. I think it's similar to your side. If this is the case, it seems that we are not the same for this entrustment. There is nothing too conflicting, after getting the results, each of them will go back to their respective employers."

"..."

Quan Shazhi's eyes moved slightly when she heard the words, and she was obviously shaken when she looked at the young man in front of her. But she didn't open her mouth to give an answer, she just looked him up and down.

"Then I might as well be more blunt." Hino Mitsu strikes while the iron is hot, "Student Izumi came out to investigate alone, probably because he suddenly received a commission during the vacation, and it was too late to mobilize staff? But it is always more difficult to investigate things like ghost stories alone. Dangerous, do you want to consider joining forces with us to investigate?"

"... To be honest, it's not a particularly bad proposal." After being silent for a while, Izumi Saori's expression was touched, "But if you want to talk about danger, since you know that I am alone, the two of you are the same to me. It’s a threat. Investigating ghost stories is a very dangerous thing, and it’s better to have no companions you can’t trust.”

"This is a bit hurtful." Hino said with hands spread out, "Although the position is opposite, but after all, we are classmates in the same school. I think basic trust is still possible, and it is not necessary to have more important companions. I All we want is basic mutual cooperation."

"This strange story is obviously unusual,"

At this moment, Yuan Taiyi beside him also suddenly interrupted.

"There are indications that there seems to be an inexplicable force behind this incident."

"Oh?" Quan Saori crossed her arms and tilted her head while holding the book in her arms.

"Let's talk about your thoughts."

"I think I can be honest. I don't know who your employer is, but it's obviously not the search bureau. The search chief is a very proud person. Since he is here to investigate this case, he will definitely not At the same time entrust this case to someone else.”

Gentaiyi was not as easy-talking as Hino Minoru, his words were cold and sharp.

"In other words, no matter who your employer is, you didn't get that road map directly from the Bureau of Investigation."

"We are all people who want to investigate this strange talk, and both of us happened to get this road map, but the details are slightly different. Is this really a coincidence, or did someone deliberately leak it to us? Even if The person who gave us this roadmap can be trusted, but how much of this thing has been 'deliberately' leaked from the root? This is only the most superficial part of this strange talk. If you really want to investigate this strange talk, I Feel like we need to work together and not stop here."

He concluded by saying:

"So it's better to make a decision early, go early and return early, and return to the hotel before the curfew."

"...Well, you have proved that you are worthy of cooperation." Izumi Saori was finally persuaded. After thinking for a while, she finally nodded to the two, expressing her agreement with the other party's proposal.

"Then, since you have said so much, please reciprocate, let me also share some information about me."

"Huh?" Hino Mito suddenly regained his spirits, "Please tell me."

"Your companion just said that if you go early and return early, you can return to the hotel before the curfew..."

The girl holding the book in her arms spoke slowly, as if she was considering her words.

"When did you have the illusion that the hotel is 'safe'?"
