Chapter 1417 Risotto with Arbutus Meat Sauce
It was daybreak. After breakfast, Alice originally wanted to go to the manor first, but on second thought she decided to go to the city hall to find out the situation.
The city hall of Xisha City is located in the middle of the three intersections, with convenient transportation and constant traffic. Alice got off the carriage. At this time, everyone in the city hall had begun to work. She explained to the guard in front of the gate that she was entrusted by Sir Lurkav to investigate the case. Of course, she was not actually entrusted by Pokochin, she just said so.
The guard at the door saw that Alice was not very old, and was a little unconvinced. Fortunately, a security guard from the public security station came here to do business at this time. He and his boss Binks went to Huangsha Crossing to meet Mitty. Cass investigated the case and recognized Alice, which allowed Alice to successfully enter the city hall.
After thanking him, the first thing Alice wanted to find was of course Deputy Mayor Bandera. Unexpectedly, when she arrived, she discovered that Mr. Epsilin was also here.
"Oh, you're here too." Epsilin had just come out of the deputy mayor's office. When he saw Alice here, he knew that she must be here to investigate the case, so he couldn't help but smile while stroking his beard.
Alice also smiled and said: "Mr. Epsilin came very early. Have you already asked the deputy mayor?"
"Do you want to know?"
"Otherwise, what would I be doing here?"
Epsilon said: "Would you like me to share the information I got with you? The deputy mayor seems a bit busy right now. I'm afraid you have to wait a long time."< br>
Alice thought for a while and declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still want to ask him myself."
"Oh, why? Or do you think I will hide something from you?"< br>
Alice hurriedly said: "Of course it's not what the gentleman thinks, it's just that there are some things where two people can better understand the situation face to face, and I think I thought about it. The explanation may not be exactly the same as that of your husband, so you should go in and ask yourself."
Epsilin nodded: "You are right, then I wish you can get what you want. I have other things to know, so I’ll leave first.”
Alice moved her finger to him: “Goodbye”
After entering the office, Alice was invited to the rest area to drink water. Deputy Mayor Benjila was discussing something with his officials. Alice overheard a few words, which were all work matters.
After half an hour, Benjila hadn’t finished her work. Alice had already drank several glasses of water, and she felt a little impatient. Plus, she didn’t get enough sleep last night, so she lay down on the sofa and took a nap. For a while.
When I woke up, I was woken up by the sound of pouring water. Benjiela was sitting across from Alice with her legs folded, holding a glass of cold water in her hand and smiling calmly: "Sorry, I woke you up."
"Ah." Alice He rubbed his brows to wake himself up faster: "When is it?"
Banjela is a middle-aged man, in his forties. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall behind Alice: "It will be time for lunch soon. How about love Miss Liz, come with me to have lunch, let’s chat while eating.”
Xisha is located in the Gobi Desert, and the climate is extremely hot in summer, which greatly affects people's appetite. However, the food that Bandera ordered in the restaurant made people feel their index fingers twitching and salivation in their mouths at the first sight.
Banjela said: "This risotto with bayberry meat sauce made with pickled bayberries is my favorite. The sauce is very sour and delicious, and it will definitely satisfy your taste buds." . And this dipping shrimp is also a famous dish of this restaurant, which can improve your appetite in the hot summer. The drink is coconut wine. Wine is actually similar to juice."
"Thank you, you are so thoughtful."
"It's nothing, I just share what I like with others."
After taking a bite of rice with bayberry meat sauce, Alice couldn't help but nod her head. The shrimps were also delicious when dipped in them.
Bandera said: "I know you are here to learn about the murder of Mayor Khalid. If you want to know anything, just ask."
Alice wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and asked: "I want to know who knows the itinerary of Mayor Khalid this time?" Bandela smiled and said: "It's the same as what Mr. Epsilin asked before." He said: "The city Long itineraries are all arranged by his secretary. Generally, more important travel arrangements for meetings will be recorded in the city hall after being finalized. This is for the safety of the officials, but there are also many other reasons. On Mayor Khalid’s trip this time, I think that apart from him, his secretary and his personal entourage, it will be me and the record-keeping person. The staff knows. As for whether other officials will inquire about it from Mayor Khalid, I don’t know, but I think people around the mayor generally don’t tell others the specific arrangements. This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Alice asked again: "What about the people in Lurkav Manor? Does anyone know the schedule? "
Banjela thought for a while and said: "I can only say that Sir and the mayor are related and very good friends. If it is Sir, he has You may know that when Sir asked the mayor about something before, he also sent a servant to ask about the mayor's whereabouts. As for this time, I don't know."
Alice said: "That means the servants in the manor may also know the mayor's schedule."
"Although this possibility is unlikely, it is not impossible." Bandera said: "Actually, it's very simple to ask for proof. You just need to ask Sir to see if he knows about the mayor's schedule this time. If Sir doesn't know either, then what's wrong with the manor? No one should know. If Sir knows, you can ask him if anyone has asked him or told anyone." "Yes." Alice nodded and said, "I still have. I have a few questions. I would like to know how Mayor Khalid’s relationship is among his colleagues. Has he offended anyone?”
“So? "That's for sure." Bandela said: "No matter whether they are officials or ministers in the country, there must be people who are offended in this city. Khalid is a mayor. Sometimes he offends fellow officials in order to fight for the interests of the city. It's a normal thing. But if you want to kill the mayor because of this..." Bandela shook his head: "I think it's not that big of a deal. But in order to develop this city, the mayor and Sir. It has indeed aroused resentment from many people, not just among fellow officials. Why do you ask that? Didn't the investigation say that the mayor's death was due to his involvement in the Jazz case? "
"I'm just a little confused? "I want to find out." Alice said: "How is the relationship between Mayor Khalid and the officials of this city? How is his relationship with you?"
Bandela laughed: "I knew you would ask me."
"Mr. Epsilin also asked?"
"Yes." Bandela said: "Ka Mayor Lidl is good to his colleagues in the city hall. Sometimes he loses his temper and scolds his subordinates harshly, but that's all because of his work. As for the mayor and me, I have been working with the mayor for more than ten years. What do you think of my relationship with him? "
< br>“That’s good?”
“I should say it’s very good.”
Alice nodded, took a sip of coconut wine, and said: "By the way, do you know what happened to Sir twenty-seven years ago, or what important things happened twenty-seven years ago? "
Banjela shook his head: "Twenty-seven years ago, I was still young and was not transferred to work in Xisha. At that time, I was just a small government employee and had no idea what was happening here. Not sure."
“Oh, that’s right.”
Banjela said: “If you want to know, you can go to the archives of this city to investigate. At that time, this city was just a small city. There shouldn’t be many historical records in this village. I can issue a loan order to you, just like Mr. Epsilin.”
“Thank you, you are very willing to help others.”
< br>
Bandela smiled and said: "It depends on who is willing to help others. Besides, this serial murder case has been shrouded in Xisha City for too long. I also hope to catch the murderer early. If there are no other problems, we..." He was about to get up, but was stopped by Alice.
"Wait, I haven't finished asking my questions yet."
Banjela smiled: "You have so many questions. Tell me if you have any more questions."< br>
