Ch67: National Journalism

February 24

A couple of days have passed since the end of the school year. And although I would like to announce progress in our investigation, the truth is that we have not been able to advance in almost anything. Besides that for now we have less help than usual because the inspector is currently busy with more paperwork about what happened at the dam so he doesn't have time to help us. Xian is on vacation after what happened, she will be back when classes come back.

The only thing we have been able to get out was once again thanks to Charlotte and Kazumi, they thoroughly checked Matsumoto Chemicals, but they couldn't find anything important. By parting several days before the attack on the dam, the I.S.C bought a lot of things outside of the commercial agreement they have. Basically, the I.S.C bought almost everything that had not been sold in advance to other companies. Although we know that this was due to their plan to attack the dam where Matsumoto Chemicals used to draw electricity to work, there is nothing illegal or that can tell us what to look for. Unfortunately, as I said before, the I.S.C bought almost everything in general, so the purchase invoice was absurdly large and everything was used to create almost anything, from explosives to pool cleaning products. There was no way to see what they would use them for. It also seems that according to the inventories made by various containers are disappearing from their warehouses every time they do the inventory, but for some reason, they do not seem to worry about the theft of those things. But once again the missing things are a bit of everything to know what they plan.

There was nothing we could do at the moment and that was frustrating me. I could not rest easy knowing that the I.S.C has the advantage and the nerve to attack at any time without repercussions. Feeling uneasy, I thought about taking a tour alone of their headquarters, the Raven's Tower, stupidly believing that perhaps I would thus be able to discover something. Even though I had the idea of maybe entering the building and forced my way to be able to investigate, I could help, thinking better of that, it was not very difficult to realize that that would not do any good and would only bring me more problems in the future. The result of my trip? a wasted day like the previous ones.

On the way back I got thirsty so I stopped in the park near my house to buy a drink from a machine, then I sat on a bench to be able to drink calmly. My house is pretty close to here, so I can see my house from here. And just as I was thinking that I realized something very peculiar. There was a girl on another bench with a table, in it there were several snack packages and a large bottle of juice, all empty, indicating that she had already had time there, but her eyes did not leave a particular address, my house.

What the hell! was she watching us? The girl's appearance was that of a woman in her 25s, she wore a white long-sleeved shirt and black suspender shorts, she wore glasses and had brown hair. Her physical appearance was slender she did not seem to be ready to fight, but she saw she looked fragile She also had an open bundle with several notebooks but paying attention I could see a photo camera as well. She didn't seem like someone who could pose a danger, but I couldn't ignore this either, not after everything that's happened these days. So he decided to try to see what she was doing in the park.

I approached silently from behind, and just when I was behind her without her noticing my presence I spoke aloud to her scaring her.

" Spying on others wasit's rude and wrong" I said trying to sound innocent and more like a young girl according to my appearance to make her lower his guard.

"Ahhh"
"What a scare you gave me girl"
"I don't expect that"
"But I'm not spying, I'm doing my job"
"You see, I am a journalist and I am currently investigating for my next publication in the newspaper"

"Do you work in the newspaper"
"And what could be here that appears in the newspaper? "

"Well I'm currently investigating something that happened with that house over there"
"Tell me are you from around here?"
"Do you know anything about that house?"
