Chapter 80 A chance encounter after work
and Nicole had probably discussed these things.
Ronald was about to leave the investigation bureau and go home to rest just like yesterday.
When he comes back tomorrow morning, he will go with the investigator girl to perform the so-called front-line work.
However, as soon as he opened the door, Ronald was stunned on the spot.
Right in front of him, a girl with beautiful platinum hair stood at the door of the Investigation Bureau.
——It’s Patricia.
His eyes slowly moved from top to bottom. As the two looked at each other, Ronald saw the envelope in the other person's hand that was exactly the same as his own.
It looked like the envelope from when I was under investigation and received a notice of transfer. It was an exclusive letter belonging to the Investigation Bureau.
In the silent air, the two looked at each other for a few seconds.
This time, before Ronald could speak first, Patricia asked first,
"Ronald, were you also summoned by the Investigation Bureau?"
"Similar to you, but I came earlier."
Luo . Nader pointed at the envelope in the girl's hand and explained in a helpless tone:
"The morning after I returned from the train station, I received a transfer notice." "
As a person with little influence, of course I can only Come here to work."
"That's it."
After thinking for a few seconds, Patricia turned to Ronald and whispered:
"You don't have to worry too much. The Investigation Bureau is a formal organization, and ordinary people don't have it. It's such an outrageous move."
"And we might become colleagues in the future."
After all, it was at the door of a special unit like the Investigation Bureau, and it was impossible for the two of them to discuss the topic too deeply.
After just a few simple exchanges, the two ended the conversation.
After bidding farewell to Patricia, Ronald turned around and left the Bureau of Investigation headquarters, and began to think about the meaning of this incident.
Why was Patricia also invited?
After Ronald himself came into the view of the Burrenwich Investigation Bureau, his various performances have vaguely proved that he is a low-level mysterious person who is relatively easy to control, which is why he was recruited by the Investigation Bureau at this time.
——Looking back at Patricia.
This guy definitely doesn't meet this requirement.
Judging from the previous experience of the two of them escaping from the train station together, this girl is not the kind of character who is easily controlled.
For what purpose did the Burrenwich Bureau of Investigation send the invitation letter to this girl?
The amount of information we have is really not enough.
Ronald finally made a few guesses, but still couldn't determine what kind of secret was hidden in this matter.
Unconsciously.
Walking on the streets where the snow has disappeared but the air is still moist.
Ronald strolled back to the pension door.
The sun had set a quarter of an hour ago, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets in the residential area.
Not far from the street, Ronald saw a scene that he could see every day after get off work these days.
The gas street lamps erected on both sides of the road are being lit one by one by city staff at the moment. They held long wooden poles in their hands, first pushed open the lampshades, and then used the fire pulled from the wooden poles to light the gas lamps one after another.
The movements are skillful and the progress is rapid.
Once lit, the top of the lamppost becomes a light source that provides illumination at night.
The staff who brought night lighting to Burrenwich were obviously experienced employees.
The scene in front of him was something that Ronald had rarely seen in movie theaters in the past.
To be honest, he thought it was quite interesting.
After standing there and watching these workers for a few seconds, Ronald suddenly remembered the construction workers replacing electric street lights on Long Beach Street.
Soon, the street where I live will be completely replaced.
At least here in Burrenwich, these scenes will never be seen again.
The staff who were responsible for lighting the lamps every day naturally
thought of this, and Ronald felt a little complicated.
After pondering for a few seconds, he took out his keys, opened the apartment door and walked in.
"."
"Ah, is it Ronald?"
As soon as he walked through the door, the landlady, who was sitting on a lounge chair on the first floor knitting, saw him.
Watching Ronald return to the apartment, the woman did not get up.
She just nodded towards her visitor, looking as friendly as ever.
"I've put your lunch on the table in your living room." "
I prepared some bacon tonight. They taste very good." "
Then I'm going to try it!" "
Thank you very much, ma'am. "
Just as he was about to go upstairs, Ronald suddenly remembered something.
He stopped and looked back at the landlady, with a hint of apology on his face:
"Um, that Ms. Hudson."
The landlady blinked kindly:
"What's wrong?"
"I'm really sorry, I don't have a job today. Be careful to break the umbrella you prepared on the porch, because it’s too damaged and I can’t bring it back.” “Well, can I pay for the
compensation?”
“Oh,”
he said in a surprised tone. sound.
The landlady had a confused expression on her face.
In her impression, Ronald was a tenant with a good temper and character.
There is no reason for such a young man with a gentle personality to intentionally break her umbrella.
The hand knitting did not stop.
The landlady thought for a moment, then continued:
"Mr. Ronald, I can understand that you didn't mean it." "
But after all, these are public items in the apartment. If they are damaged, they need to be replaced in time." "
How about this? "
When you go to work one day, you can buy an umbrella on the way and put it in the rain cabinet on the porch when you come back." "
I understand."
Ronald simply accepted the plan, and at the same time He nodded again and apologized:
"I'm really sorry about this."
"It's okay, it's okay, who can live without accidents?"
This time the landlady stopped knitting and gave Ronald a comfort. smile:
"When I was young, I was actually quite careless."
"It's okay."
After expressing his gratitude one last time, Ronald walked upstairs.
Returning to the second floor, he took out his key and opened his door.
Just as the landlady said, today's dinner is on the table in the living room.
A piece of toasted bread and a piece of vegetable soup.
And a nice plate of bacon.
Walking over and sitting on the chair, Ronald picked up the food and found that the toasted bread was still warm.
Ms. Hudson remembered the time he left work last night.
Using this as a reference, I estimated the time today and prepared a warm dinner in front of Ronald.
He was really thoughtful.
Silently, he forked a piece of bacon and put it into his mouth. Ronald began to enjoy the dinner.
Just the same feeling as before.
It tastes great.
