'The character randomly assigned this time is a criminal master hidden behind the scenes. Please join the Black Organization as soon as possible and gain their trust.'
A familiar electronic sound rang in her mind, and the next second, she heard faint voices in her ears.
'Criminal Master?'
She didn't change her posture of lying on the table with her eyes closed, pretending to sleep. She just asked in her mind:
"So my identity this time is that I haven't joined the Black Organization yet?"
"Yes, the host needs to unlock subsequent tasks on their own. If the host does not gain the recognition of the three-dimensional audience before the death of the character card, they will face true death. Therefore, it is recommended that the host find an opportunity to join the Black Organization as soon as possible."
The system sounds slightly different than before.
He seemed to be more stiff, but what he said was much more detailed than before.
This discovery made Hoshino Aoi's eyelashes tremble slightly. She always felt that something was wrong, but the information she had obtained was too little, and she had no way to determine what was wrong.
She simply put the matter aside for the time being, pretended to be woken up, and sat up straight.
"Hello, sorry to bother you."
A female voice that sounded strange yet familiar rang in my ears, and there seemed to be a hint of hesitation in it.
Hoshino Aoi paused rubbing her eyes and turned her head to look over.
The first thing that caught my eye was the other person's short blond hair and slightly reflective black-framed glasses.
Hoshino Aoi blinked and had some vague guesses about the identity of the person who came.
"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
She asked softly, not seeming to be fully awake yet, which softened the other person's originally serious expression.
However, even though she thought it was impossible, the other party still raised his ID and gestured to her:
"Sorry, FBI."
Hoshino Aoi followed her movements and looked at the document in her hand.
It was indeed her——
Judy Stelling.
Hoshino Aoi's eyes curved.
"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with? Miss...Officer..."
Her voice was a little low, and there was a hint of confusion between her drooping brows, making people feel as if they had seen a small animal.
Judy is no exception.
Especially since her location was obviously unrelated to the case, and coming to ask was just a routine investigation, so Judy didn't act too serious. After hearing her words, she just asked softly:
"Yes, a murder just happened in this cafe, so we have something to investigate with you."
Hoshino Aoi blinked her eyes and a somewhat nervous expression naturally appeared on her face.
"Eh? A murder happened? When did it happen? I didn't even notice..."
Without waiting for Judy to ask, he directly told her approximately when he came here and when he went to bed. He also vaguely explained why she slept in the cafe instead of resting at home. Then he asked anxiously:
"Um... Officer, I've told you everything I know. If nothing else, can I leave now? I've never experienced a murder before, and I'm a little scared..."
"Sorry, I'm afraid that won't work..."
Judy looked at her, her expression looking a little embarrassed, but before she could explain the reason to the girl in front of her, a slightly arrogant voice interrupted and interrupted her words.
"You want to leave so soon? Are you the murderer?"
Hoshino Aoi seemed to be shocked by the other party's words, and even when she turned her head, there was a bit of fear and confusion in her eyes.
"ah?"
She opened her mouth and waved her hand after a long while:
"But I was sleeping the whole time. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known anything happened here..."
As she spoke, she looked at Judy with a look of help.
"Could this officer testify for me? I was really asleep just now. How could I possibly have killed someone?"
"Humph, whether it's possible or not is not up to you to decide."
The man didn't seem to care about her denial. Even after seeing her waving her hands, he showed an expression that said, "Stop quibbling. You must be the murderer." Although Aoi Hoshino didn't show it on the surface, she secretly made a "tsk" sound.
There is something wrong with this person.
He seemed to have identified her, even though there was no evidence to suggest that she was the one who committed the crime. Of course, it was also because the case had absolutely nothing to do with her.
But the other party seemed to be sure that it was her, which was obviously wrong.
Seeing that Judy was arguing with the other party for her, Hoshino Aoi pretended to be scared and hid behind Judy. She timidly grabbed the corner of Judy's clothes with her right hand, while silently wondering why the other party was targeting her.
Maybe it's system related?
Thinking of the system that suddenly became rigid, Hoshino Aoi seemed to have realized something.
However, now is obviously not a good time to think about this matter. Hoshino Aoi gently tugged at the corner of Judy's clothes and whispered:
"Forget it, Miss Officer. Since this officer says I might be the murderer, let him investigate. After all, I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. If I haven't done it, I haven't done it. I'm not afraid of him investigating."
"Of course we have to check."
Regarding this, Judy certainly wouldn't just rely on her own conjecture and not even investigate, and directly say that there is definitely nothing wrong with Hoshino Aoi, but...
"You can't just convict someone right away."
She looked at the arrogant man in front of her with dissatisfaction, and felt her palms itching a little. Maybe if she greeted his face, the itch would go away, but she couldn't really put it into action...
Thinking of this, Judy pursed her lips, barely suppressed the anger in her heart, and said to him coldly:
"We rely on evidence when handling cases. You don't have any evidence, but you just say someone is the murderer out of thin air. Aren't you afraid that someone will complain to you later?"
She and the other party were not colleagues in the same department. Although they both belonged to the FBI, their superiors did not get along well, which naturally led to the people under them looking down on each other.
However, due to the failure of their department's plan to capture members of a terrorist organization some time ago, a major internal reshuffle took place. Not only did their status in the FBI decline, but their members also became scarce.
Naturally, it was from that time that Judy officially came under James' command.
And the Burris Brown in front of him naturally looked indifferent when facing such Judy.
"Of course I know that kind of thing."
He glanced at Judy with contempt, and then glared at Hoshino Aoi:
"Just wait for me to find evidence of her murder."
