Chapter 200: An Invitation at Night
When Investigator Kate opened the door and left the hall.
The originally delicate and tense atmosphere in the investigation bureau once again became gloomy.
At this moment, Ms. Mapel calmly stared at the warden in front of her.
In front of the female investigator, Bach Klitchens, the original controller of Berenwich, also looked confident and looked at her without any guilt.
"..."
Neither of them spoke first, but maintained the silence between each other.
About a minute ago.
Nicole, who was following Ms. Mapel, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The investigator girl took the initiative to step forward and came between the two of them, protecting Ms. Mapel. She reminded her unabashedly:
"Ms. Mapel, let's leave immediately."
"After all, it's a little while every night. Something may happen at the scene that you don't want to see, and time is running out."
After Nicole's suggestion, Mapel immediately asked the warden:
"So Mr. Bach, can we set off now?"
Facing the actions of the two investigators, the warden looked a little cold.
However, he still took the initiative to move sideways and asked in a provocative tone:
"Of course, Ms. Mapel."
"But my residence is relatively remote. Do I need to show you the way?" "
."
This time Mapel ignored the warden.
With Nicole and Swift beside them, the three of them immediately walked out of the hall and left the investigation bureau.
It was obvious that they were going directly to the warden's mansion.
And after Mapel left.
The warden was still standing in the hall, watching the three people leave with cold eyes. He then glanced around the hall with sharp eyes.
On the first floor of the relatively spacious Investigation Bureau, there were only a few ordinary investigators and Ronald, an ordinary person who was filling out a form. There was nothing suspicious at all.
"Hmph——"
Bach snorted coldly.
Then he waved his hand and led his men out of the investigation bureau.
Snap -
After leaving the hall, the door of the Investigation Bureau pitifully hit the door frame, making a stiff sound.
For a time, only the still solid atmosphere was left on the first floor of the Investigation Bureau.
"..."
A few breaths.
As the indoor temperature gradually rises under the action of the heater on the beam.
In front of Ronald, the two investigators, who were so nervous that they held their breath before, also broke away from the state of being completely unable to calm down.
Looking at the door where Mapel, the warden and others left, one of the investigators said in an anxious tone:
"I guess something big is going to happen here again?"
"Isn't this nonsense!" Beside him, Another investigator who was his partner immediately echoed, "Anyone who is not blind can see such a tense situation."
Speaking with some emotion, the investigator shook his head:
"It's outrageous, it's outrageous!"
" I have been working as an investigator for nearly two years, and I have never encountered such a strange situation recently." "
First there was a large-scale rebellion by cult warlocks, and then even a big shot like the warden was involved in the matter. What's going on?"
Next to him, another investigator said:
"What I'm curious about now is actually what happened at the warden's place." "
It's impossible for this powerful man to want to Are you betraying Her Majesty the Queen?"
After saying this, he seemed to find his idea a bit funny.
He immediately shook his head and denied his guess:
"Impossible, how is this possible?"
"No one in this world would be stupid enough to betray Greed, right?"
Just as the two were lamenting each other's fate and work , the investigator at the front desk also came over and participated in the conversation:
"Guess."
"The rebellion of the cult warlocks has just ended, will we start a new round of overtime work again?"
Hearing from the front desk The companions who came over guessed so.
The Jike whom Ronald knew lay back, leaning his back completely on the back of the chair, and then said in a rather ominous tone:
"Please spare me!"
"Although our business is dangerous, it's also dangerous. No one has been working shifts like this for several months! When it comes to a guy with such a complex identity as the warden, God knows how much trouble it will cause."
Seeing several investigators beside him, he began to feel sad about his work. Ronald hurriedly wrote the rest of the form in his hand, then put the document on the table and stood up:
"Finally finished."
"Jike, please help me enter it here."
The investigator immediately replied He said:
"No problem, just leave it there."
He said a few words of courtesy to several investigators.
Ronald then left the Bureau.
Returning to the road on Long Beach Street, he looked up at the sky in the distance.
It was just before nightfall. The sky in the east had completely darkened, but in the west, a few clouds could still be seen floating in the sky.
At this moment when night falls, Ronald's mood is also changing frequently.
Judging from the warden's reaction just now, this guy has probably taken care of the things under his dungeon, so he can confront Ms. Mapel directly so confidently.
If the other party's plan succeeds.
There is a high probability that this operation against the warden will end in failure.
In the final analysis, the combination of the warden's status in the public society and the mysterious identity of the controller of the original code forms a network with intricate relationships and complicated interests.
This is like a defensive hedgehog, making it difficult for ordinary hunters to eat.
"."
However, just as Ronald was deep in thought and considering whether to go to the forest road again, a soft footsteps suddenly came from behind him.
Immediately, a gentle female voice called his name from behind:
"Ah, isn't this Mr. Ronald?"
"Do you have anything to do with the Investigation Bureau?"
Hearing the voice, Ronald turned his head and looked over. .
Just behind him, Audlett was looking at him quietly with her usual smile.
But it was different from the previous meetings.
There seemed to be a subtle smile in the eyes of this church nun at this moment.
Considering the current situation...
it is obvious that Audlett, a clergyman of the church, also has her own unique intelligence network regarding what happened during this period.
Staring at the nun, Ronald was silent for a moment before speaking:
"I came to the Investigation Bureau, and I do have some personal matters that need to be dealt with." "
But it is quite a coincidence that we can meet in this place at this moment. Ms. Audlett."
"."
He heard the meaning in Ronald's tone.
The nun from the church generously extended her right hand to Ronald for him to take it, and then took the initiative to invite:
"Mr. Ronald, do you mind if we take a walk together."
"It's getting dark in Burrenwich. I don’t know if there will be another opportunity like this in the future.”
Faced with Audlett’s attitude.
Ronald hesitated for a moment, but finally took the initiative to hold the other person's arm.
"Where are we going for a walk?"
The church nun was very satisfied with Ronald's attitude.
Smiling slightly, she said generously:
"For us, let's go to the train station."
"There is a train going to Springs tonight. We may meet some interesting lost sheep there."
