In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

171 A girl and the problematic case

“Who’s this young lady? Did you know her?”

Foster asked Xander while they were in the dungeon, staring at the mysterious young woman who was now being treated by the healer. Xander shakes his head. He has never met the young woman in her life. Her long black hair was unraveled onto the makeshift bed. He felt bad for her, to be treated inside the cell, but there was nothing he could do. She was the suspect of thievery and assault; she needs to be placed inside a cell.

“Anyhow, let’s make her as comfortable as we could, I feel bad for attacking her already.” Said Xander to Foster.

Foster huffed his breath. “There was nothing you can do about it. The young woman tried to escape from her crime. Thankfully, the man that she assaulted was alive.”

“Yeah, it’s true…” Xander agreed with Foster, his eyes never going away from her. “Anyhow, I’m already sending Terran to primary captain Vale. Hopefully, he could be here as soon as possible.”

Foster turns around to Xander immediately after hearing his statement. “Wait, I thought primary captain Vale was inside the isolation encampment?”

“Well, actually, so many things happened afterward.” Xander tried to give Foster some kind of answer, though still a vague one. He need to be careful, as Justice told him that this mission of his was a secret one.

Knew that he probably won’t get a better answer. Foster just nodded his head and smiled. “I guess you were on a mission right now. Don’t worry, I’m going to keep her lock until the primary captain came here to ask her directly.”

“Thank you, master sergeant Foster. I can rest assured now, since I need to visit the victim.” Xander gave him a sketch from one guard. “Thankfully there is a talented painter here. I asked her to draw the young woman’s picture and she delivered. Now the victim could give us some confirmation if she really was the thief or not.”

.....

Xander leaves the gate and rides into the branch hospital where the victim of the main library assault has been treated. It took him fifteen minutes to reach the hospital. Xander look around in a hurry, trying to locate the victim, until he saw him on the corner bed, talking to a healer.

“Excuse me, is this a bad time?” He asked the two of them.

The healer and the victim turn their attention to Xavier.

“Oh, you’re the young man that saves my life,” The victim spoke fondly to Xander, he turns to the healer and said, “This is him, the one that saves me and informed the guards.”

“Ah, thank you for your swift action, young man. Mister Gavin almost lost a lot of blood, but got saved in time because of your help.” Said the healer gratefully to Xander.

Xander raised his hand. “Oh, it was my pleasure.” He went quiet for a while and asked a favor from the healer, “I am sorry, but could I have a moment alone with mister Gavin?”

“Oh, of course, but make it brief. He needs to have some rest.” Said the healer.

After the healer excused himself from the two of them, Xander immediately gave mister Gavin the sketch of the suspect. “This is her, right? The one who attacked you.” Asked Xander to the victim.

Mister Gavin looked at the picture and nodded at Xander, “Oh yes! This is her, the one who attacked me. Did you also find the book?”

“Yes, the book about Bloodline and Insignia. I have it with me for safekeeping.” Xander gave him reassurance since he was so worried about the book.

His face lit up after Xander’s good news about the book. “Oh, thank God! Thank you so much, err…”

“Xander, my name is Xander, I am a knight on the crown prince’s service,” Said Xander with a smile on his face, he took a chair and sat beside the patient’s bed, “Would you give me a detail about the incident?”

“Uhm, I don’t know, she came at some peculiar hour and asked for the bloodline and insignia book,” Said mister Gavin with his hand on his chin, trying so hard to remember the incident, “The book although not forbidden it also prohibits to be borrowed, it could only be read with the assisted of the librarian. When I gave her the book, suddenly she hit me from the back, and that was the last thing that I remember before you reached out to me.”

“I see, so she specifically wanted the book.” Muttered Xander, he then smile at mister Gavin, “Thank you so much for your time, as we already apprehended the suspect. The case will be going to the capital guard force. They will be asked for your official statement.”

“It’s fine, I just need some rest, and thank you so much, mister Xander.”

Xander excused himself and leaves mister Gavin alone, but before he goes away from the branch hospital, the healer came to Xander and asked for his time. “I need to tell you something. It was about mister Gavin’s head wound.”

“Yes, is he alright?” Said Xander, growing wary of mister Gavin’s health.

“No, no, he is fine. In fact, I believe someone performs the first aid spell on him. That’s why he was conscious when you came to rescue him.”

The new information, although baffling to Xander, it also made sense. The girl is a healer, and she tried to minimize the damage that she had inflicted on mister Gavin. he goes to the gate with the girl in mind, and after waiting for three hours, the mage primary captain finally arrived at the capital.

Xander and Foster welcome him and together they look at the young woman who’s being kept in the cell. The young woman was sitting in the cell when the three of them came to the dungeon, her bittered face just trying so hard to avoid the three men who stares at her.

“So, you’re here, don’t you know how confused we were trying so hard to find you, miss Rosy.” Said Vale to the young woman inside the cell who gave them a threatening look, like a stray animal who got caught.
