"Now, I have no reason not to be honest with you all."

"Then let's start by telling the story of the case, and of course, we'll also include the story of Mikhail."

Gallagher led the group to a private room in the corner of the bar, had them all sit down, and began to discuss the matter in detail:

"Let's talk about the conclusion first."

"According to the clues in the family's possession, this firefly is indeed not a local, nor is she an invited guest."

"In other words, she was a genuine illegal immigrant."

"I already knew that." Yan Huan said calmly.

“I was also an illegal immigrant. You didn’t recognize either of us when we were together.”

"..." Gallagher glanced at Yan Huan, feeling an inexplicable fire burning in his chest:

"Then, do you still remember who I am?"

"The sheriff and super-strong bartender of the hound family," Yan Huan replied matter-of-factly.

Gallagher nodded slightly:

"You still know I'm a sheriff."

"...You know that, yet you still get angry?"

Immediately, Gallagher silently pulled a silver bracelet from his pocket, revealing a chilling gaze:

“Mr. Yan Huan, if you interrupt me again, I will arrest you.”

"Please continue," Yan Huan quickly raised her hands.

“…” Gallagher took a deep breath and looked at everyone:

Where was I?

Yan Huan reminded her:

"You just mentioned that Liuying and I smuggled ourselves into the country."

Gallagher nodded slightly and continued:

"I'm really getting old."

"However, on Grand Star, smuggling is not uncommon and is not difficult to detect."

"The hounds immediately took action afterward, tracking the suspect from both the dream and reality."

"But the result... was only bad news."

"This is also the most troublesome news."

Gallagher looked at the crowd:

"This little girl vanished into thin air. She left no trace in my dreams, and her body can't be found in reality either, as if she had never been to Pinocchio."

Yan Huan raised her hand again and said:

"Report: You also failed to find me."

"So," Gallagher said through gritted teeth, "..."

“We’ve never seen anything like this before in the hound family.”

Himeko asked:

"So, in Pinocchio, death really does happen, right?"

Gallagher nodded, not denying it:

"Now that you all know, what's there to hide?"

"A city with a glamorous surface must have a dark side."

"I don't need to say more about adult matters."

"It would be naive to question the family based on this alone."

"Even in a beautiful dream, there can be an unexpected death, so what?"

"Such a low-probability event will only affect a very small number of people."

Gallagher solemnly stated:

“If you really want to get to the bottom of this case, you have to figure out the family’s real difficulties first.”

Himeko smiled faintly:

"I guess it's time to talk about the story of [Mikhail] now."

"I know!" Yan Huan raised her hand again:

“Mikhail…is that the watchmaker? His family wants to kill him.”

Gallagher: "..."

"Why don't you go out?"

Yan Huan shrugged, shut her mouth, and gave the right to speak to Gallagher.

Gallagher said to Himeko in a deep voice:

"You're very perceptive."

"The Starry Sky Train also received that music box, right? Do you know what secret it holds?"

"Just a comment," Himeko said eloquently.

"[Taking in the impossible from the dream, finding the legacy of Pinocchio's father, the 'clockmaker,' and then answering the question: Why does life slumber?]"

“Not a single word is wrong,” Gallagher said with satisfaction.

Noticing his smile, March 7th spoke up:

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Did you write this? Your writing is quite good."

Gallagher glanced dismissively at March 7th:

"I'm the sheriff in charge of investigating the case, how could I not know?"

"I bet you've all noticed that this message didn't come from the family. Perhaps even that the relationship between the two isn't that good?"

Himeko stroked her chin, pondering:

"It's just speculation at the moment, and it's hard for us to believe that the father of Pinocone and its actual managers are so at odds."

Gallagher crossed his arms, his gaze indifferent:

"Now I can tell you, that's absolutely right."

To the surprise of March 7th and Himeko, Gallagher continued:

“The family has considered the [watchmaker] an enemy for a long time.”

"But the latter is elusive, existing only in the business myth he created, and the hounds have been unable to catch him for a long time."

"So, I would like to ask you all a further question: have you ever considered why the family can tolerate... the watchmaker sending out such a ridiculous message to the outside world?"

"Why should I let you come here as invited, and then make such a mess of this place?"

Yan Huan interjected again:

"Because... the family also hopes that the major powers will cause trouble."

This time, Gallagher wasn't angry; he simply nodded and looked at Yan Huan.

"And then? For what purpose?"

"What else could it be for?" Yan Huan said firmly.

"He released this thing in order to get rid of the clockmaker, and so many guests from all factions in the galaxy came to him for his inheritance."

"The guests are basically unaware of the family's relationship with the watchmaker, so wouldn't they be able to act as the family's search dogs?"

Gallagher nodded slightly, agreeing with Yan Huan's statement.

"Now you can understand why the Oak family turns a blind eye to you."

"……Ugh."

Gallagher sighed.
