âEither way, letâs get you to the office first! Iâll call over the other investigation team members to introduce you to them. While weâre at it, Iâll take the chance to explain your temporary role in this investigation! â said Ichiro as he placed his hand on Geraldâs shoulder.
âCan we talk while eating?â asked Gerald as he patted his belly.
âOf course! You know where my office is, right? Go wait there for me first as I head out to get some food!â replied Ichiro. Forget eating, even if Gerald had requested to be someplace else, Ichiro wouldâve readily rented someplace within the military grounds.
Fast forward to half an hour later, everyone from the investigation team had arrived. Naturally, upon seeing Gerald there, they were all rightfully curious. After all, to all of them, he was a suspect in Adlerâs disappearance. While they had no evidence that he had committed the deed, in the end, Gerald still had a motive to commit the crime. With that in mind, since Gerald was just sitting there, many of them thought that Gerald had taken the initiative to surrender himself.
Just as they were deep in thought, Ichiro entered the office with a few bags in hand. As the pleasant scent of roasted chicken filled the room, Ichiro declared, âIâve brought over some roasted chicken, so be sure to share among yourselves. Iâll detail all of you as you eat.â
Following that, he placed a roasted chicken in front of Gerald making sure to hand out the rest to the other team members as well before sitting on the main seat and drinking a glass of water.
After clearing his throat, Ichiro then said, âNow that everyoneâs here⦠Iâll cut straight to the chase.

ââ¦What? Why is he suddenly joining our investigation team?â
Ichiroâs announcement was like an exploding bombshell, and everyone couldnât help but look at Gerald with incredulous gazes. After all, how on earth had a suspect suddenly become their colleague?
On the contrary, Gerald looked cool as a cucumber as he ate his roasted chicken, barely even caring about their gazes and comments.
âIâm excluding Gerald from our list of suspects. After all, the case is already half a month old and we still have no evidence against him. Due to that, I say that thatâs enough to prove his innocence!
Besides, Geraldâs been kind enough to willingly help us with this investigation! With that said, please put your shock aside and start revealing any information youâve obtained! Itâs high time we solved these cases!â explained Ichiro.
âLoud and clear!â declared everyone as they nodded, not daring to disobey Ichiro.
Following that, they all placed their written reports on the table, prompting Ichiro who had just sipped on more water to say, âAlright, take turns explaining what you found in the past two days.â
Hearing that, everyone did as Ichiro ordered. While everyone else was dead serious as they read their reports, Gerald who had his legs crossed simply continued eating his roasted chickenâ¦
