I questioned the man lying on the ground pressing his abdomen. He was gasping, but his head seemed clear.
"Who hired you to come here?"
At my question he spat a bloody gob of saliva with a "gufu" and said,
"I was hired in the capital. They said there was a job with good pay and asked if I wanted it. Just killing a kid and two women — an easy job…"
"You don't know anything about the employer?"
He shook his head.
"I've met the employer. We were brought part of the way. That guy… I don't think he's from this country. His speech felt a little different."
Hoh, is that so. As I thought.
"Do you know which country?"
"I don't know that much detail."
"I see. How did you follow us all the way here?"
"Fufun, seems we were the next wave of pursuers or something. The previous bunch messed up, so we got called out. If it hadn't been for that we wouldn't have gotten much money, so when I heard we could go and make a profit I was happy… and this is the result, ahaha."
