The entrance to Warehouse No. 2 was filled with debris, and heavy dust accumulated on it. Only a small patch of floor at the entrance had been swept clean.
As soon as Roland walked to the door, he smelled a faint musty smell. The smell of rotten wood after soaking in water was very obvious in the air.
The heavy wooden door is tightly closed, with a thin layer of dust on it. The dark chains that give people a heavy feeling are repeatedly wrapped around the door. The chains are coated with a thick layer of oil, and you can smell it from a distance.
It emits an unpleasant pungent odor.
"...This is the second warehouse for medical supplies?"
Roland turned his attention to the Red Kaji Flower, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Akakawa nodded awkwardly: "... Roland, you have to know that Richero hasn't used these medical devices for nearly ten years. The Earl doesn't pay much attention to them either."
"But aren't these medical devices new?"
"The equipment is not new, but the medical supplies arrived a few days ago."
Faced with Roland's question, Chi Kajihua nodded crisply: "According to Karar's regulations, in order to prevent officials from the Medical Department from lining their pockets, the medical supplies and firefighting supplies that are replenished on time for each township must be carried out by professionals when they are in place.
The quality of the boxes will be reviewed before you can sign the confirmation form. But you also know that the position of medical director is useless except for the convenience of passing the blame..."
"So you accepted the Earl's commission and signed your name on the confirmation form?"
Roland answered.
Akashika nodded feebly.
This was within Roland's expectation.
Generally speaking, the position of chief medical officer is usually held part-time by the resident white-robed druid, so it does not cause much trouble to the officials. For free areas like Richero where there are no resident druids.
, they need to spend money to hire another medical director.
However, the chief medical officer does not need to treat diseases or train doctors. Only when a medical accident occurs, the chief medical officer is required to take the blame. Few areas will spend money to maintain such a useless thing, which usually lasts for more than ten years.
It will be used less than once. Those medical supplies will not be opened and distributed to civilians on weekdays. They will only be taken out nearby when a major disaster strikes. However, the probability of a "major disaster" is not very high. After the occurrence, it will cause
Under a series of troubles, regardless of whether the medical director is in place or not, the lord is basically dead, so it can be said that it is almost the same whether there is or not.
Therefore, when the higher-level medical departments issue medical devices on a regular basis, they will intentionally distribute the backlog of medical devices that are closest to expiration or even have expired to areas that do not employ medical chiefs. Then these areas can allow some of the medical devices in their own areas to be used.
Signature of foreigners residing in the area.
Because of the tacit understanding between the two parties, these dangerous goods also flowed in. According to Karar's laws, if something happens, the most they can do is to arrest them domestically and hold them accountable. As long as they pay a sum of money, they can let those foreigners return to the country.
That's all. In short, it's definitely much cheaper than hiring a medical director for several years.
After all, the medical chief is a senior official and belongs to the same level as the knight commander. In non-war times, the knight commander's annual military salary is 20 to 30 gold coins, which is almost as much as the tax revenue of a town for two months.
Even if their mayor is an earl, he will feel distressed by this. Even if he only has a false title, does not hold any position in the capital, and even has the same territory as a viscount, he is still an earl after all. But for ordinary people, for
This makes me feel even more distressed.
For them, such a flexible way of doing things can make things more convenient for each other. But none of them thought of what would happen if one day these medical devices were actually used.
"Do you remember those goods? What quality did they look like? Is there any problem with the sealing?"
Roland thought for a while and then asked.
If there is no problem with the seal, Roland can basically conclude that there will be no problem with these bandages when they arrive here.
But Akashika's answer was completely beyond Roland's expectations.
He shook his head with a wry smile: "I have never seen that batch of goods at all."
Roland was slightly startled.
"Have you ever seen it?"
"Never seen it before."
Akashika answered categorically: "As you know, I was living in the Earl's Mansion at the time. The Earl gave me a document to sign. In order to live in his house, I signed it after seeing that there was no problem... Although I
I am from Fararor, but I also know about this tradition of the Kalar people. I didn’t ask anything at the time.”
"etc."
Roland finally remembered what he had overlooked before.
A flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes: "You mean, the count gave you the confirmation slip after he took it home? Was there anyone around him at the time?"
"Yeah...what's the problem?"
Chi Kajihua looked confused, but looking at Roland's expression, he also realized what was wrong with his answer. A serious expression appeared on his face.
"There's a big problem," Roland nodded and sneered, "According to the normal process, he can't handle the confirmation form at all. From beginning to end, the confirmation form should be in the hands of the officials of the Medical Department."
"...But, what does this mean?"
Akashi Kajihana's pupils shrank slightly.
But the doubt on his face did not diminish at all: "Did he collude with the officials of the Medical Department? Or was he part of the devil's deal, or was the official mentally controlled by the devil? I did see that
The list has the codes of various types of medical supplies written on it, and this is correct."
Roland looked gloomy and did not answer.
He took the key from Akakahana's hand and walked forward to open the door.
This was to prevent Edward from setting any traps, so he wanted to step aside Lei. Although it was unlikely, this place was not far from the Earl's Mansion, and there was definitely a chance for Edward to come here after his escape.
After Roland opened the door, fresh air poured in, and the choking dust rolled out. The sunlight coming from the window was beamed into several beams of light by the dust in the room.
"As expected. Arsu, there are several possibilities you mentioned before, but none of them are correct options."
Roland stared at the high row of white and new bandage rolls placed in the most conspicuous place, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"What this really means is that what he signed for you was not a confirmation of the arrival of medical supplies at all! It was a repurchase order for the destruction of expired medical supplies!"
"These bandages are so new... so new that I doubt the head of the Kalal Medical Department. Why do they have to buy so many brand new medical supplies for Richero, who has no druid supervision? Their annual budget is not
It’s not enough, otherwise they wouldn’t use this gutter trick to save money.”
"I'm afraid the real reason is that our Lord Earl destroyed all the medical supplies in the past, and then asked you to sign and certify them, and bought a batch of brand new medical supplies. Because they were purchased rather than distributed, they will naturally not be used after they arrive.
It’s up to you to sign.”
"Okay, so we have now confirmed that the Earl is related to this plague incident...then what?"
Akakawa frowned deeply: "Why did he buy a batch of brand-new medical supplies? If he wants to tamper with these things, wouldn't it be okay to use old ones? Isn't this deliberately exposing flaws to us?"
"Of course not."
Roland shook his head.
Because her purpose is to expose her flaws to you...or to me.
Roland replied in his heart.
This is the issue Roland ignored before.
You must know that the collapse of the dock area was the reason why Elukado took action. In other words, under the original situation, nothing would happen to the dock area. This can be regarded as an accident, even if Faline
Na, she didn't know much about Ellucard, and it was even more impossible to predict that she could easily destroy the dock area.
If Elucardo did not destroy the dock area, Akashika would not have thought that there was a problem with the medical supplies. But if she asked the Earl to replace all the things here with new ones, then Akashika or Roland would have found this place.
, you will immediately feel that there is a problem here.
It can be said that this is a flaw that Falina deliberately exposed to Roland and Akashi. The purpose is to attract their attention here.
"If I'm not wrong..."
Roland pondered for a moment, then walked forward, took out a few rolls of bandages, cut them off, tore them into pieces and threw them on the ground.
Akakawa's eyes moved, and he realized what Roland was going to do.
So he squatted on the ground and looked through the bandages.
"Found it."
About half a minute later, Roland's voice sounded calmly.
Akajihua looked away and found that the bandage fragment held by Roland's right hand had two rows of dark red blood marks that looked like they had been bitten by children's teeth. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian
