Arknights, Suika's Messenger Journey

Maria stared at her closely, wanting to see her comments after she finished eating.

Suika didn't keep Maria waiting for long. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up.

The bread is crispy, rich in milk flavor and has a slight burnt smell. The beast meat inside is tender and delicious. When you take a bite, the aroma of fat penetrates your mouth and blends with the taste of the bread.

Although she didn't know if it was the best burger in Cavalleriacchi, it was definitely the best tasting one she had ever had.

After eating, she gave Maria a thumbs up, and Maria smiled happily.

"Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

After eating, the two sat on a bench by the roadside to digest their food.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. I didn't see you at the bar yesterday and thought you went somewhere else!" Maria looked at Suika.

"Yesterday, I watched the games at the arena all day.

You know what, this knight competition is quite interesting.

The matches we arranged are also interesting, without the situation where the gap between the two sides is huge."

Suika talked about yesterday's game.

"One day?" Maria was confused.

"What's wrong?" Suika looked at her.

"That's a VIP ticket, right? Ordinary tickets generally only let you watch three games, while better ones let you watch five.

As far as I know, the only tickets that have this effect are VIP tickets at the arena, regardless of the show."

Maria was feeling a little down when she said this. The Linguang family was once an old-fashioned knight family that could enter the VIP seats.

However, life has become increasingly difficult in the past few years, especially since there has been no news from their parents and Margaret was forced to leave Casimir, the Linguang family has been struggling.

"How about we go to the bar together?" Suika suggested, seeing that she was in a bad mood.

Maria shook her head and stretched

"I have to go back to bed...

Uncle Koval took on an emergency project last night to install a bunch of equipment at the arena. I happened to be there at the time so I dropped in to help out, and it took us until morning to finish.

I’m very sleepy now, I need to go back and have a good sleep.”

"Well, do you know why those things were added?" Suixiang looked at her.

"What else could it be? If not for some important person coming, if not for some trouble yesterday... Oh, weren't you there yesterday? Do you know what happened?"

Maria, feeling a little drowsy, realized that the girl in front of her was at the scene yesterday.

"Oh, it's nothing. Someone just died!" Suixiang spread her hands with a calm expression.

"What!" Maria was suddenly awakened by Suika's message.

Suika pointed to the group of people nearby who were looking over at her because of her scream and said, "Look at you, calm down. Everyone is watching you!"

Maria also realized that she was making too much noise.

"What the hell is going on? This is the arena, and it's the first day of the knight competition... I watched the game, and it seems like no one was seriously injured to the point of death..."

Maria asked quietly after sitting next to Suika.

"I think you are really confused. Did the knight who died need to install additional equipment?

It’s the spectators who die, the spectators in the VIP seats.”

Suika reached out and tapped Maria's forehead gently. Maria covered her head and looked at Suika with curiosity and gossip on her face.

Chapter 250: Many Friends When You Are Away

"what!"

Maria recalled that she was checked repeatedly when she entered the site yesterday. In Uncle Koval's words, not even a fly could easily fly in after the equipment was installed.

They were still discussing whether some important figure from another country would come to Casimir to watch the knight competition, but they didn't expect that someone would die in the VIP seats.

"I heard that the person who died was a member of the Supervisory Society. Of course, I don't know his name, but didn't you say you didn't see me yesterday?

It was because of this guy's death that everyone in the VIP seats was detained there for a whole day, and only at the end of the game did the police release us because they couldn't bear the pressure anymore."

Suika calmly told the story of yesterday, but only removed herself from the conversation.

If she had not taken away the key evidence, Holmes and Poirot would have closed the case long ago.

But Suika didn't regret it.

The reason why she did this was simple: the man affected her mood for watching the game.

After all, he wanted to watch an exciting exhibition match, but the other party actually wanted to use despicable means to influence the outcome of the battle.

Although Cuixiang is not a gambler and does not bet on winning or losing, even as a spectator who has traveled thousands of miles and spent a lot of money, she is still very confident.

A rigged game is not fun to watch.

So after the woman sent the man away with a backstab attack similar to the one Shichen used, Suixiang took action to eliminate the flaw left by the opponent after his death.

But she didn't expect to meet two special detectives later, and then what happened afterwards.

All I can say is that fun is the best, and everything has a cause and an effect.

After chatting for a while, Maria's mind gradually began to become dazed again. Suika was worried about her, so she sent her back to her residence before strolling towards the bar.

As soon as I opened the door of the bar, I heard a burst of lively shouting coming from inside.

There were also some curses mixed in.

Looking around, everyone's attention was on the TV screen on top of the bar.

What is being played above is today's knight competition scene.

The bar owner, the bald Martin, was the only one who noticed Suika's arrival.

He nodded to Suika, then pointed to a clean empty seat in the corner. Suika sat down and Martin came over.

"Little sister, how was it watching the game at the stadium yesterday?"

He was smiling and looked quite happy.

"The competition is really fun to watch." Suika nodded, then took a sip of the beer he handed her and continued chatting with him.

"What? You said the guy in the VIP seats died yesterday?"

After chatting for a while, Suixiang told what happened in the VIP seat. After all, no confidentiality agreement was signed.

Other nobles or wealthy people might keep their mouths shut for various reasons, but unfortunately, Suixiang doesn't.

Because she doesn't belong to either side.

Moreover, as a complete outsider, she had no investment and no network in Casimir, so she was not afraid of the "suppression" from the Supervisory Committee and the Chamber of Commerce.

So whenever someone brings up this topic, she will talk about it without hesitation.

Just like now, after Bald Martin's voice attracted the attention of the people around him, Suixiang deliberately raised her voice and repeated what happened yesterday.

"A member of the Supervisory Council died in the arena. Wouldn't the Supervisory Council take this opportunity to cause trouble?"

A burly old knight said.

"Who knows? There's no news at all in today's news. If this little girl hadn't experienced it herself, who would have known that such a big thing happened in the arena yesterday?"

"Yes, I've heard of Holmes. He helped the chaebols of the Business Federation solve several difficult cases some time ago. It seems he's become a big hit in the eyes of the chaebols lately." said a drinking buddy.

"I know Poirot, the chief of the Serious Crimes Division of the police station. He's quite capable.

Do you remember the family murder case a while ago? I heard that he found the clue within half an hour of arriving at the scene, and then caught the murderer and closed the case on the same day.

There are many people in the police station who admire him.”

Not far away, another drinking buddy who was obviously connected to the police station mentioned the other person mentioned by Suika.

“So, two famous detectives and the sheriff worked together but still couldn’t find the criminal until evening?

I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration…”

After hearing their boasting, someone said that Suika said that everyone in the VIP seats was detained until night, which proved that the two had not found the final murderer, otherwise they would not have detained them so late.

"After talking for so long, who was the dead person?" The old knight who was standing next to Maria at the front desk asked in the direction of Suika.

"That's easy. Didn't the little girl say the person who died was a big shot from the Supervisory Council? Doesn't your son work at the Supervisory Council? Just ask him who didn't come today and you'll know."

A drinking buddy looks at another drinker on the other side.

"Then I'll go back and ask tonight..." The man on the other side raised his glass.

At this time, the host's excited voice came from the TV, and the battle inside became fierce. Everyone's attention was attracted by the pictures on TV, and no one continued to ask Suika about the details of yesterday.

Suika also enjoyed it.

Holding a glass of wine, I laughed and cursed at the screen with the people in the bar and spent the whole day happily.

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, she stood up, rubbed her butt, said goodbye to the boss and a few drinking buddies, and left the bar after paying for the drinks.

In the bar, Martin rubbed his eyes as he looked at Suika's drink menu.

The total amount of this string of drinks is larger than the child's size, and I didn't see her go to the toilet. Where did she drink all the drinks?

Martin was puzzled.

After walking out of the door, Suika did not go back, but strolled on the street.

You have to know that during the days of knight competitions, Kavaleraki is truly a city that never sleeps.

No matter what time it is, you can always see bustling crowds of people in the commercial district.

"Sister Suixiang!" A sudden exclamation came from behind.

Suika turned her head and found that it was Winnie running towards her with her short legs, and she jumped into Suika's arms like a lamb.

"Oh, good afternoon, little Winnie!" Suika was in a good mood looking at the little girl in front of her. In the first two days, perhaps because she tricked the little girl into drinking, her relationship with the other party was not very good.

However, children remember grudges quickly but forget them even faster, and soon she became Suika's little follower.

Until they parted, she liked to stay around Suika.

Of course, it's also possible that he's attracted to Suika's bow and doll...

Chapter 251: Never give in to blackmail

"Why didn't you go to the game today?"

Suika reached out and teased the ahoge on Winnie's head. Winnie tried to stop her but her hands were not long enough, so Suika could only play with her at will.

"Wow, brother, help me!"

Winnie covered her head and ran towards her family who were walking towards her with smiles not far away.

"Haha, didn't you keep that aho-humor because your sister Suika said it looked good combed like that? Why don't you want others to touch it..." Anthony reached out and poked his sister's forehead.

"Gu~" The girl puffed up her cheeks and looked at her brother angrily.

"Okay, okay, I just saw someone selling sweet fruits over there, so I bought you some. It's my apology, okay?"

Anthony took out some fresh and sweet fruits from the backpack behind him and handed them to Winnie. Winnie took the fruits and smiled, saying that she was a magnanimous person and forgave her brother.

"Well, I ate this fruit yesterday, and it's really sweet." Suika walked over and said while looking at the fruits in Anthony and Winnie's hands.

“This fruit is not cheap, where did you eat it?

Also, Winnie and I looked for you for a long time yesterday. She counted the heads one by one, but she didn't see you at all."

Anthony looked at Suika and asked in confusion.

Winnie, who was standing next to him, nodded when she heard what Anthony said. She had missed the previous performance in order to find Suika, and ended up not seeing Suika at all.

"I'm in the VIP area. There's one-way glass inside, so you can't see what's going on inside from the outside."

Suika waved her hand to refuse the fruit before speaking.

"Oh, so you're in the VIP seat...

Wait, you're in the VIP seat!" Anthony's eyes suddenly widened.

When they entered the venue, they thought that as VIP guests of the Chamber of Commerce, they would sit in the VIP seats.

But they were told that all the VIP seats from the first day to the end of the knight competition were booked, and there were only seats outside.

Moreover, the location assigned to them was very far away from the site of the battle. Fortunately, they learned the news in advance and bought a telescope, otherwise it would be impossible to see the details of the battle clearly with the naked eye.
