Chapter 71 The polygraph
returned to the first floor from the basement. As expected, Ms. Mapel returned to the second floor to continue working.
She is now the only one on duty in the Human Resources Department of the Bureau of Investigation.
The intensity of the work is definitely high enough.
At least since Ronald joined the company, he has never seen the female investigator go home to rest or come to work.
——She has never left the Bureau of Investigation headquarters.
It doesn't matter after two hours.
"He~~"
He lay down at the front desk and let the table support his body.
Ronald yawned again.
The newly acquired 'lie detector' spell is useful, but that's all it looks like at the moment.
The empty investigator hall, not even a ghost could be seen.
He couldn't find the target even if he tried.
Raising his head slightly, Ronald glanced at the small pocket above the hall.
Warm heating items were hung on the beams, and the warm sleepiness was simply creeping into my brain.
It's a pity that this mysterious heating facility cannot be widely spread.
Otherwise, there would be no room for the development of heating in this world.
Click——
While Ronald was thinking aimlessly, the door of the Investigation Bureau headquarters suddenly opened from the outside.
Two men in black coats came in from outside.
With their frowning expressions and hurried figures, they were obviously two investigators busy at work.
Entering the lobby of the Investigation Bureau, the two men took off their hats and tucked them under their arms. They looked around the hall together.
When they saw the new Ronald, the two nodded friendly towards him.
Then
the two men walked to the back of the investigation bureau without saying a word.
There was not a trace of hesitation audible in the resolute steps.
"."
Watching the two investigators leave and cross the hall, Ronald looked a little dull.
That's what front desk work at the Bureau of Investigation is all about.
Investigators who are already working in the Bureau are familiar with the situation of the headquarters and will not waste their time at the front desk.
People who are not familiar with it will generally not come here.
Based on advice kindly provided by Miss Nicole.
When doing this job, just pay attention to ordinary people who come in unexpectedly, and then send such ordinary people away.
"."
Ronald stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, and then his eyes wandered to the ceiling.
To be honest, he now has the urge to take out "The Divine Comedy".
It's not that he wants to make big news like 'Burrenwich Investigation Bureau headquarters exploded'.
But in this boring environment, reading can still be a bit of entertainment.
It's really boring to stand alone like this!
"."
"Three people are already dead?"
"This is no joke. Let's move quickly." "
Mr. Willard, we called the carriage and it stopped at the door. We can just go out and get in the car."
At this moment, the discussion of several men came from the back of the first floor.
Because the Investigation Bureau headquarters was too quiet, their conversation even reached Ronald's warm ears clearly. .
It sounds like they are discussing an incident involving human life?
Listening carefully, the voices of the men's discussions gradually became clearer.
Bang bang bang -
the sound of footsteps also appeared.
As footsteps and discussions approached, the two men who had just walked in not long ago followed a man with a majestic face out.
Without stopping, the three of them were about to leave the investigation bureau.
"Hmm?"
However, just before leaving, the majestic man in the lead stopped.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Ronald. After carefully examining and confirming that this was an unfamiliar new face, the man hesitated for less than a second and then said:
"New boy, remember this."
"After that. If someone asks you whether you have seen Willard Owen in the Bureau in the past two days, you tell him this." " I went
with George and Huggins today, five miles outside the city.
A small village called Celephes."
"It's a high-level incident involving human life."
"."
Having said this, the man was silent for a moment before continuing:
"Also, if I don't come back after a week, remember to bring this Report the matter to the director."
"Let's go."
He didn't wait for Ronald to answer.
The moment the words fell to the ground, the majestic man was vaguely taking the lead.
The three of them left the Investigation Bureau headquarters without looking back.
The moment the door of the Investigation Bureau was opened, Ronald could still see the taxi that had been ordered and was parked outside.
"."
Staring at the direction in which the three disappeared.
After thinking about it, Ronald took out the pen and paper from the front desk and counted the time in his mind.
[Frost Snow Moon crossed out——]
[November 13]
[George and Huggins returned to the Investigation Bureau. After reporting their work, they were led by Mr. Willard to Celephais, five miles outside the city, with the purpose of involving Advanced events in human life. 】
Looking at the otherworldly writing that was twisted and twisted, it could almost be used as a cipher text.
Ronald chuckled and nodded with satisfaction.
"Doesn't this count as being passive at work?"
Putting the notepad away, Ronald began to look at the hall boredly again.
The area of the lobby of the Investigation Bureau's headquarters is actually not too large, and it would not exceed 200 square meters by visual inspection.
In addition to the brick and wood structure that makes up the main body of the building, there are handles hanging kerosene lamps on the surrounding walls. When lit together, the hall will definitely become brightly lit.
It seems that it has been winter recently.
Near the gas street lamps on Burrenwich Street, workers can be seen frequently. They are erecting the latest electric street lamps.
After a while, the city's nights will be guarded by electric lights.
Thinking of this, Ronald recalled Yoizi at the beginning of his time travel.
In that small village, you couldn't even see a gas lamp.
"The gap is really big enough."
After muttering in a low voice, Ronald said out of boredom:
"Volume 11, page 260, item 6."
The hall was extremely quiet, and there was no movement in front of Ronald.
The spell did work.
But there was no object in front of him, and he couldn't realize the convenience brought by this ability.
Ronald then walked around the front desk to the door.
He carefully opened the door of the Investigation Bureau, revealing only a very narrow crack.
The winter sunshine worked its way in, leaving a thin line in the hall.
Standing on it, Ronald finally experienced the power of the polygraph.
Through the gate, as long as he focused his eyes on a passerby, he could vaguely feel several rhythmic fluctuations. According to the frequency of this fluctuation, the person's current physiological state can probably be sensed, and a judgment can be made from this.
This is really how the lie detector works.
Confirming the ability that comes with joining the Bureau of Investigation, Ronald gently closed the door.
Slowly wander back to the front desk.
He began to think in his mind-
otherwise, when he goes to work tomorrow, he can buy a chair on the way.
This stop only lasts a day, which is quite tiring.
