In an extremely tense atmosphere, suddenly, a hand quietly landed on Arthur's shoulder. Arthur's reaction was very quick; he immediately turned around, aiming the gun in the direction of the source, and forcefully asked, "Who's there!?" A noticeable alertness and hostility flashed in his eyes. However, what appeared in his line of sight next was a middle-aged, slightly balding, and somewhat overweight man. The man was startled by Arthur's reaction, losing his balance and falling, but even so, he still maintained a friendly and warm smile on his face.
The man made an effort to calm the tense situation, then slowly stood up and straightened his clothes. With a slightly nervous but still friendly tone, he spoke, "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I am the mayor of this town, the mayor of Lavender Town." He introduced himself, reaching out his hand in the hope of shaking hands with Arthur as a friendly gesture.
In this tense atmosphere, Arthur's hand still tightly grasped the gun, even though the man in front of him claimed to be the mayor of Lavender Town. He did not relax his guard. The man looked a bit embarrassed, but he still maintained a smile, trying to ease the current tense atmosphere.
"I'm Mishima," he friendly introduced himself, "the mayor here. In fact, I received a notification from the police chief a long time ago, knowing that you would come here to investigate the missing case. So I specifically waited for you at the entrance of the town. However, I waited for a long time and didn't see you, so I was a little worried that you might have encountered some difficulties in this thick fog, so I came along the road to check on you. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Arthur listened to Shimada's explanation, but his guard did not relax at all. "How did you know I was here?" Arthur asked warily, a hint of distrust still flashing in his eyes. In this mysterious little town, any small detail could hide unknown dangers, and he couldn't completely trust the so-called "mayor" in front of him.
Shimada seemed to sense Arthur's wariness and distrust. He smiled and said, "I understand your caution. The environment here does make people feel uneasy. But please rest assured, I genuinely want to help you. The recent disappearances in Lavender Town have made all the townspeople feel fearful and uneasy, and we hope to resolve this issue as soon as possible."
Arthur fell silent for a moment, feeling a slight awkwardness. He slowly returned the gun to his duty belt and then apologized to the town mayor of Mishima in a sincere tone, saying, "I'm sorry, Mayor, my behavior was indeed a bit excessive just now. In this environment full of unknowns and strangeness, I instinctively maintained a high level of vigilance. Please understand." His expression was full of apology and appeared very sincere.
The town mayor of Mishima waved his hand with a smile, showing great generosity and understanding, "It's okay, it's okay, I completely understand. The environment here does make people feel nervous and uneasy, and your vigilance is a requirement of your profession, completely understandable." His smile was warm and friendly, at least on the surface, seemed very kind and understanding.
Arthur felt a little relieved and nodded in thanks. Then he opened the car door and gestured for the town mayor of Mishima to get in, saying, "Mayor, let's go. I hope you can take me to the police station in town. I'd like to get a basic understanding of the local situation and some detailed information about this missing persons case." His tone was full of professionalism and seriousness, showing his commitment to this mission.
The town mayor of Mishima readily agreed, carefully got into the car, and after settling in, pointed out the direction to the police station for Arthur. Inside the car, he tried to maintain a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, chatting with Arthur from time to time, introducing some basic knowledge about Lavender Town, and attempting to ease Arthur's nervousness.
However, Arthur still felt uneasy. He knew that in this mysterious little town, behind every seemingly ordinary detail, there could be hidden deep secrets and dangers. He dared not relax at all, always maintaining the highest level of vigilance and alertness. On the way to the police station, his eyes scanned the buildings and surroundings from time to time, trying to find some useful information and clues.
Arthur drove slowly through the narrow streets of Lavender Town. Along the way, he noticed that there weren't many residents in the town, and the few people he encountered seemed quite indifferent. Their faces were tense, and their eyes seemed to carry some imperceptible fear and vigilance. This made Arthur feel that the unusual atmosphere in this small town was even more intense.
They eventually stopped in front of a small police station that looked somewhat dilapidated. The exterior of the station was very simple, even a bit run-down. The station's sign was worn out, with faded colors, and only some traces of the words could be barely made out. Compared to other police stations he had seen before, this one was clearly old and lacked maintenance.
Arthur and the town mayor of Mishima got out of the car and walked towards the station's gate. He noticed that the doors and windows of the station were very dirty, indicating that they hadn't been cleaned for a long time. He couldn't help but furrow his brow, feeling some concern about the police station and its capabilities in this small town.
Town mayor of Mishima seemed to sense his concern and smiled slightly, saying, "Although our police station here is relatively simple, the police force is still quite reliable. Our police are familiar with the local situation and work hard to protect the town's safety."
Arthur nodded, hoping so. He knew that unraveling the mystery of the disappearance in this small town would require important cooperation between the police station and the local officers. He followed Town mayor of Mishima into the police station, ready to begin his investigation in Lavender Town. However, he still felt uneasy inside, sensing that the mystery and danger of this small town far exceeded his imagination.
