old dream

Chapter 326 Say hello to the lieutenant for me (thanks to the leader of book friend 20200228)
The next day, Danaro's police detective department also specially transferred a few people to cooperate with the investigation department's operations.

Of course, these are just ordinary people who don't know anything.

In this way, Rui began to knock on doors with four or five police detectives, and then routinely questioned people for clues about survivors.

"Have you seen this man?" Passed the photo through the hinged crack.

"No." "I can't remember." The person on the other side of the door often answers like this.

"Oh, did you go to Fifteenth Street last week?"

This method is obviously too inefficient, like a few headless flies flying around in the square.Not to mention that there were less than ten of them, even if all the police detectives in the principality were filled in Danaro, it would be difficult to make any progress.

Because Rui didn't want to make any progress.He didn't want to get too involved with this matter, and the theater and the Ninth Bureau didn't want outsiders to get involved in their "internal affairs."Therefore, the two sides reached a subtle tacit understanding.

Obviously everyone is doing things according to the rules, but in fact, they don't do anything.

But Colin didn't like this atmosphere, he was vaguely impatient, because he didn't want to blindfold himself like this again, wasting time in vain.

After another fruitless cross-examination, Colin sighed and walked back to the streetlight on the sidewalk.He looked at the vehicles coming and going on the street, and said to Rui who was beside him:
"If the investigation department really wants to find a foreigner who is hiding, it shouldn't be such a difficult thing."

Rui was holding a thick notebook in his hand, writing a meaningless investigation record.Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at Colin beside him:
"That's right... If we want to find him, we can indeed find him, although it won't be as easy as you think."

Rui knew that Colin was not used to this kind of practice, and after writing for a while, he said:
"But the process may be more complicated than you think, and we may also provoke the wanted former Ninth Director, Zal Winter."

After all, he who was lurking in the dark was probably also looking for the woodland man.

"What's the problem?" Colin asked flatly:
"Because the Grand Duke doesn't want us to have anything to do with him?"

On the contrary, this shows that the "number one traitor" is likely to be a potential ally of the Investigation Department, and Zar Winter probably has the most deadly information on the Principality. Even if he is a dangerous person, he should not be so taboo.But Rui still shook his head, he was worried about another problem:
"Because with our secret level, we should not know, let alone touch the path of the inner god." He said:
"If possible, it's best not to have even a little intersection."

Ruy has served the CIA for a long time, so he naturally pays more attention to this kind of problem.But it's also a form of self-limitation.He is not a rigid person, but for some reason, he is very persistent at this time.

So Colin didn't refute him right away, but asked quietly after a while:

"... But, aren't you curious?"

He saw that Rui was not so willing, otherwise he wouldn't have talked so much with him a few days ago.

So what Colin said to him at this time was like the whisper of the devil:
"The way to awaken the inner god, the secrets hidden behind the entire principality, and this inexplicable world."

"If it were me, I would remind myself to keep my eyes open and take a good look at everything in front of me," Colin said.

He's never been one to rest in ignorance, even if the truth is just a lingering nightmare.That's why when I was in the Franciscan Monastery, I chose to ask Nancy about those disturbing information.Or, at any cost, to find out about your lost memories.

"After all, knowledge is the prerequisite for thinking. If a choice is not thought about, it is no longer your choice." Colin said.

Or if you don't do this, you won't be able to fill the boundless desire to explore in your heart.

"That's taboo."

"Even if the path of the inner god is really taboo." Colin said:

"You should at least know why it is taboo."

Especially now that the commander-in-chief is not here, no one else here will know about it except us.

"...Because of the credit of the last mission, you have become an official member of the intelligence department, but the letter of appointment is still on the way." After a while, Rui seemed to be shaken, he hesitated and said:
"So now that the commander-in-chief has left, our relationship is equal. If you want to act alone, I don't seem to have the right to interfere with you."

Colin smiled silently.If something really goes wrong in the future, this kind of reason is not enough to keep Rui out of it.But only now, he needs some reason to convince himself.

Rui also knew that this was self-deception, so he quickly smiled in relief and put aside this lame reason:

"If there are no accidents, the target should be hiding in the lower swamp where illegal immigrants live." He looked towards the downstream direction of the river and said:

"Over the years, the investigation department has developed a lot of informants there. After I go back today, I will hand over this list to you."

"can."

At this point, Colin felt a little relieved, even though he didn't know what he would face.

"One more thing...the six woodlanders themselves were not innocent. According to reports, some white snake sloughs were found on the table at the scene. Danaro's analysts did not draw any conclusions, maybe some kind of An unknown ritual. Of course, you won’t give up because of this doubt.”

Rui said helplessly:

"I think, sooner or later, you... us, will be killed by curiosity."

Colin smiled and replied:
"Isn't it impossible to die by remaining ignorant?"

Could it be that if you close your eyes, the danger will disappear?

…………

…………

If you want to find a missing foreigner, the investigation department must be one of the most efficient groups, because this is almost their daily business.

The Lower Marsh is to Danaro what Southern Stade is to Stade.It's just that it is much smaller in size, but its personnel are more complicated than Nanstadt, like a swamp that can never be drained, lacking the most basic order.

The main ethnic group in Southstadt is the Sincilians, but there is no major ethnic group in the Lower Marsh. There are all kinds of people here, and there are not many people here. A dozen languages ​​are like a dozen invisible barriers. Divide this area with a radius of no more than two kilometers into more fragmented pieces.

If the surviving woodlander wanted to hide, it must be here, or he could only hide here.

In the whole Lower Marsh, not a single coward would listen to a detective.However, the investigation department has already mastered nearly a hundred informants here.Because if you want to resist the infiltration of the alliance's external forces, you need to monitor not only the diplomats and journalists on the surface, but also the small traders at the bottom and all kinds of people who enter the country illegally.

So the Danaro Intelligence Station is far more needed than the Principality's police department, and is more familiar with this kind of place.

The first informant that Ke Lin plans to contact is the well-known smuggling smuggler here, a dark-skinned Kayu man. Just looking at his full-fledged appearance in the photo, it is hard to imagine that this kind of person is actually related to the intelligence department of the alliance. come and go.

He directly broke into the smuggler's private house, and as soon as he showed his identity, the other party drove away the other people present and put away all the unruly ones.

This kind of person knows where his status comes from, so he doesn't dare to be vague and negligent about certain things.

It is impossible for the smugglers to figure out the identity of every smuggler, but at least they will pay attention to the race and appearance of the people.According to this Kayu person’s own recollection, in the past two weeks, no woodland people have left Danalo through them, but the exact situation needs to be confirmed with other colleagues, and the news will be released in about two days.

After he finished speaking these words in fear, he raised his head, only to find that the other party had left at some point.

Ten minutes later, Ke Lin and more than a dozen people from the Southland crowded together at an open-air stall by the side of the alley, burying their heads in eating strange noodles cooked with an unknown tropical spice.The wooden signboards of the stalls have food names written in four or five languages, but none of them he can understand.

The boundary between Xiazedi and the outside is not far away, separated by a street, but it seems to be two worlds.

People from all over the world came here with dreams, only to find that the League is not a paradise at all.As long as you're not an Ankh, it's the same purgatory everywhere you go.

According to the smuggler, Colin was still in the swamp as the survivor.

He wiped his mouth, got up and walked away.Because of the melting snow, the muddy road here was like a swamp, which quickly stained the short leather boots on the feet.

There was another reason why Colin decided to start looking for someone.

He asked himself that he was not a kind person, but when he still had enough energy, he couldn't ignore another person dying slowly, but he didn't do anything.

Even now I don't even know his name.

There is no doubt that the woodland man is still in danger, why he feels compassion, maybe he is too similar to Benedict.Or this person's situation reminded him of himself and Ricardo who were refugees from a foreign country back then.

Colin sighed, rearranged the list in memory, and walked towards the residence of the next informant.

…………

…………

Indeed, as Rui said, the investigation department has the ability to find a foreigner who is hiding, but the process will be much more complicated than Colin imagined.

They did have nearly a hundred informants in Xiazedi, but in terms of reliability, these people were only peripheral.And most of them can only provide specific intelligence.A drug dealer can basically only tell you who his usual customers are and where he gets his goods from.If you want him to inquire about news that has nothing to do with him... It's not impossible at all, but he must pay more.

The more serious problem is that the informants cannot cooperate, and they are not allowed to know each other's existence, so no matter how much money is invested, it will be a mess.Once the information cannot be exchanged and compared, the value will be lost by more than half.

Of course, the result is sure to be found.After all, the Xiaze land is only two kilometers long and vertical, and there are nearly a hundred people in the hands of the investigation department.It's just that they need some luck, and the time spent becomes uncertain.

Colin's days passed day by day during the training and search. He made rapid progress in the confrontation with Ellie, but the search on the other side made no progress for a long time.

Maybe it's time to think of another way.

In fact, Ke Lin also knew some people in Xiazedi. At least in terms of coordination, they were stronger than those informants, and they could help at this time, and it just so happened that they had a lot of connections with him.

Stade Agency.

After disappearing for so long, it's almost time to give Rika a little more signal.

Xiazedi was originally one of the production centers of low-quality blended wine, and the address of the underground workshop was chosen by Ke Lin himself.Apart from a few heads, most of the workers and distributors are locals.

Of course, none of them could have met "Lieutenant" Heinrich.Because those who have seen the lieutenant with their own eyes and have not been purged are probably now in charge of the bootlegging business in a country in the hinterland.

Colin also didn't intend to appear in that capacity, because the current "Lieutenant" is not him, but Ricardo who is far away in Stade.

When he walked into the steamy moonshine workshop, the foreman and workers present showed different expressions.Everyone in the Principality knows what stands behind the Stade Agency, and the newly established Bureau of Prohibition seems to be their private army. Even in a place like Danaro, no one dares to trouble the agency.

But now, someone walked in blatantly.Everyone in the Lower Marsh knows what is going on here, but no one has ever dared to approach the secret entrance of the workshop, because this is a provocation in itself.The foremen winked at each other, and one of them quietly walked to the office, ready to take out the institution's iconic "typewriter".

"If you just went to the wrong door, get out now, trust me." A stern-faced foreman stared at him and said in a deep voice:

"You never want to know what's in here."

"No, don't be nervous." Colin raised his hands defenselessly as if he didn't see the looming pistols:

"I'm from Stade."

The listeners looked at each other in blank dismay, "people from Stade" often refers to high-level personnel of the institution.But the people present would not easily believe Colin's words because no one had received any news in advance.

What's more, I have never heard that there is a person of Nale descent among the senior management.

"Don't believe it?" Colin raised his hands and walked forward. Although he had never been here before, he was very familiar with everything here, even the people who had never met before. He was so kind as if he had returned to his own home.

As if infected by this atmosphere, several workers unconsciously moved out of the way.Colin walked up to those instruments and even manipulated them skillfully:
"The temperature of that furnace is not good, so the finished product you purified recently is not stable."

"How do you know?" a worker said in surprise, and immediately realized his slip of the tongue.

"Because I was there when the lieutenant designed these plants and equipment." Colin looked around and said, "So I know this place better than you."

At this moment, some people were shaken. Even if the Colin in front of him was not a high-level executive of the organization, he had at least worked in a bootleg workshop like them.

But because of his responsibilities, the person in charge here will not let his guard down so easily and believe what he said.

On the contrary, Colin was satisfied.Because it was just confirmed that the organization he built with his own hands is still an airtight net.

"Well, I always knew you wouldn't believe it easily." Colin put down his hand and said:

"So you might as well ask 'Lieutenant' for me."
