Chapter 87 Mogot
The distance from the train station to the city of Galede is not long and can be reached in about 30 minutes.
Facts have proved that the self-deprecating humility revealed in Walker's words is not without reason. The urban construction of Galeed is indeed very bad, not only the infrastructure is bad, but also the management within the city It is also very chaotic, and even the most basic sanitation has not been taken care of. You can see piles of garbage and undisposed horse manure everywhere on the streets in the city...
There are only a few buildings in the city that can be looked at. One of the buildings is the law enforcement office.
When arriving at the Galeed Law Enforcement Station, Milo discovered that not only Walker, but also other law enforcement officers in the law enforcement team here did not wear masks.
But Milo didn't follow the Romans. After he swallowed that mouthful of protein gifted by nature, he put on the mask decisively and took it off without saying anything.
......
The overall architectural style of the Galeed Law Enforcement Station still continues the profound and cruel aesthetic of the law enforcement system, but its grandeur is far less than that of the Nanwei City Law Enforcement Headquarters.
And it can be seen at a glance that the management here does not strictly abide by law enforcement regulations. The entire law enforcement office is filled with a lazy and decadent temperament. You can clearly feel it from the mental outlook of the law enforcement officers. The law enforcement officers are less murderous than the law enforcement officers in Nanwei City. What permeates them is a temperament similar to Yan's city guard.
The carriage drove into the Galeed Law Enforcement Station.
Under the leadership of Walker, Milo and Rebecca entered the law enforcement building.
Compared with Walker's enthusiasm all the way, other local law enforcement officers looked very dull and indifferent when they saw Milo and Rebecca wearing unfamiliar black windbreakers. In the floor passage, with When they passed each other, they would only look at the equipment on Milo and Milo with strange eyes, as if wearing a three-cornered hat, a mask, and carrying a weapon was some abnormal behavior here.
Almost everyone has the same look in their eyes.
And Milo also discovered that the repulsive, even disgusting looks in the eyes of the surrounding law enforcement officers included Walker.
Even their hostility towards Walker is much higher than towards Milo and Rebecca...
This made Milo very confused.
......
In the floor passage with people coming and going, Milo could vaguely hear the whispers coming from behind:
"Where did you send the routine again?" A senior official on inspection?”
“I don’t know, it’s endless, and I have to wait for them to eat, drink, and defecate...”
"It's so strange, how can there be a woman who can become a law enforcement officer?"
"Oh, don't tell me, that woman's waist is really attractive, look at her buttocks. ..."
...
Milo was really frightened for these people. So far, he has never seen anyone dare to comment on Rebecca so blatantly. And in such a disgusting and despicable tone.
However, what surprised him was that the fiery-tempered Rebecca didn't seem to take the whispers behind her seriously at all, as if she didn't hear them at all, and continued calmly. Go ahead.
Well, it seems that she still underestimates her patience.
However, Galede is really full of malice.
So far, Walker, who behaves somewhat humbly, is the most pleasing to the eye, although his way of speaking is a bit too polite.
"Because the senior leaders of the law enforcement office have been away from home these days, there is no way to cleanse the two of them in person. They asked me to convey their apologies."
Walker took Libei with him. Ka and Milo entered a reception room, made hot tea for them, and then brought up a large stack of documents:
"I know that routine inspections must be to internally inspect the overall atmosphere and quality of the law enforcement team. These are report materials that have been prepared before. The law enforcement officer can review them."
But the inspections are just a cover, Li Beca didn't want to waste time on these process tasks. She took a sip of hot tea and said directly: "No need to play with these nonsense, our time is limited."
Her tone was not very friendly.
It can be heard that the gossip outside just now still irritated Rebecca to some extent, but she put the task first and forcibly endured it.
Normally, I would have to go up and slap him twice.
"Uh...then may I ask, Chief Law Enforcement Officer, what do you want to check?" Walker was a little confused.
Milo said bluntly: "What we want to investigate is the missing persons incident in the town of Ikem. Also, we have to go to your archives first. We want to find out if there is anything about 24 The file on the Delamain family incident from years ago."
Walker's expression was obviously stunned.
He looked down at the dial of the watch again, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked in a solemn tone: "Isn't it just a routine inspection?"
"What, you Don't have permission to enter the archives?" Rebecca stared at Walker intently, her eyes only showing up when interrogating criminals, Milo had personal experience.
"No, no, no, my authority is not important. They will only recognize the authority of the law enforcement officers who conduct routine inspections, that is, you two." Walker waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was just a leader.
"Then just leave."
Milo drank the hot tea in the cup with a gulp, stood up and patted Walker on the shoulder. The latter smiled and nodded, indicating that he would go right away.
……
After 20 minutes.
Galeed Law Enforcement Office Archives and Inventory Room.
There was a mountain of file bags piled on the table in front of Milo and Rebecca.
Walker moved the last stack of documents and placed it gently on the desktop, but still stirred up a lot of dust.
He gasped a little short of breath, adjusted the frames of his glasses with dirty hands, and said to Milo and Rebecca: "They are all here, all the files from 1814... Huh... Because this law enforcement office was newly built 13 years ago, all the archives here were transferred from the previous location. The directory must have been lost during the transfer, so we could only look through it one by one."
Adhering to her usual style of being vigorous and resolute, Rebecca opened a nearby document bag and started rummaging through it: "Are you a local?"
"Ah, yes, I am from Galilee." Walker nodded. .
"Then you haven't heard of the Delamain family?" Milo also pulled over a document bag and opened it.
“I really don’t know much about this. You may not know that there are no aborigines left in Ikem Town today. Almost all the aborigines have moved out of Ikem Town. Many people moved to Galede City, and some went directly to further places. Now the only people living in the town are mining workers from the mining company. You have to ask which families originally lived in Iqm. No one can really answer it." Walker was helpless.
“Do you know the reason for the collective relocation of the Aboriginal people?” Rebecca asked.
"This..." Walker wiped the dust on his hands and said with some difficulty: "Speaking of which, don't laugh. There have always been some ominous rumors about Ikem. They said it was a cursed area. Maybe , maybe the aborigines moved out because of this, but I just heard about it. They said that the residents of Ikem always heard some inexplicable strange noises at night. In addition, there have been residents since ancient times. There are cases of disappearances, so... Of course, from my own point of view, I think the collective relocation is related to the mining company's mining. It may be that the mining project has affected the normal life of the residents."
"That's not true. Yes, all the Ikemu Aboriginal people have moved here about ten years ago, and Soro...and the mining company only started mining projects in Ikemu in the past three years, so the time doesn't match up." Milo glanced up. With one glance at Walker, he could keenly sense that Walker was hiding something.
"Then I'm really not sure." Walker shook his head blankly, and habitually glanced down at the watch on his left hand.
"Are you in a hurry?" Milo asked.
“No, not in a hurry at all.” Walker smiled.
Milo pushed a heavy document bag to Walker with his backhand: "Why are you still standing there? Help me find it."
A whole hour passed.
The pile of documents in front of them has just been reduced by half.
So far, no files related to the words Delamain Family have been found.
Rebecca remained silent.
But Milo couldn't hold it in.
While rummaging through the documents, he intentionally or unintentionally asked Walker in an insidious manner:
"Speaking of which, do you know why you were assigned to receive us both?"
< br>"This..." Walker showed an embarrassed look on his face: "Let me tell the truth, field law enforcement officers like you who conduct routine patrols basically just walk around the city for a few times, eat and drink. They return after a few meals, and some are very difficult to maintain, so reception is a headache. As for me, I belong to the law enforcement agency..."
"Understood, specializing in dirty work. "Bah." Milo chuckled: "All the senior officials are hiding from us and pushing you out, the orphan law enforcement officer, right?"
"Uh...eh? How did you know I was alone..." Walker blinked in surprise.
"Ah, no, I didn't mean that. It's just an adjective, an adjective." Milo didn't expect that his habitual expressions were used in the right place...
The atmosphere of conversation was in vain. When she became stiff, Rebecca suddenly threw out a incomplete cover of the dossier:
“I found it, but there is only one cover, and the content of the dossier is blank.”
>The cover clearly bears the words "Delaman Family" and the exact time stamp of 1814.11.20.
But just like the first-hand information Rebecca obtained before, there is no case characterization, no records of the people involved, and nothing.
“Why is this?” Milo picked up the yellowed cover.
"If the file is destroyed afterwards, there is no need to keep this cover. Just take it away together. What does it mean to keep this piece of paper..."
"Is the case withdrawn?" Rebecca looked at Walker.
"Uh, it's possible." Walker wasn't too sure.
While they were staring at the cover in a daze, Milo held several case files from different time periods, pointed to the name of the law enforcement officer in charge of the file and said:
"Then you can only ask Ask this person. I think he was responsible for basically all the cases in the second half of 1814. "
