Although there were fewer pedestrians on the street than an hour ago, people from all walks of life could still be seen walking on the road.
Police patrolling, workers transporting goods, pedestrians strolling, and people focusing on the things in their hands are active on this street. Everything is going on in an orderly manner as in the past.
At this time, a taxi came running from the northeast of Long Beach Street.
The structure of this taxi is a one-horse, two-wheeled, two-seater covered carriage. The driver's seat is at the back and above, and passengers enter through the door in the front of the carriage.
Throughout Burrenwich, there are more than 500 such taxis serving people.
Now, the carriage is parked at No. 21 Long Beach Street.
When the carriage stopped, the driver sitting above him spoke:
"Sir, we've arrived at No. 21 Long Beach Street."
"Thanks."
At the coachman's reminder, Ronald stepped out of the carriage, counted the carriage fare and handed it over to the other party.
"Thank you for your generosity."
Nodding towards Ronald, the coachman collected the carriage fare and shook the reins.
The well-trained horses then dragged the carriage away from the place.
"..."
Turning around, Ronald turned his attention to the building in front of him.
Long Beach Street is an important street in the southwest of Burrenwich. The headquarters of the police agency, the Grad chain post office and other important facilities are built here.
And 21A Long Beach Street...
The location indicated on the envelope is a three-story building next to the police station. There is no unnecessary decoration or repair here, and the other side of the building is completely covered by ivy-like vines.
At first glance, you can tell that it is a somewhat historical building.
Next to it is the police station, where people are coming and going, and people are constantly coming in and out.
This building, designed closely to the National Police Agency, is sparsely populated, giving people the impression that it is an affiliated institution of the National Police Agency.
"21A Long Beach Street."
Reciting the street number, Ronald checked at the front door and then opened the door and walked in.
As soon as you enter the door, the nature of the mysterious side office is clearly revealed.
We didn’t see any heating equipment in the lobby on the first floor, but just walking a few meters in, the winter cold outside the door began to gradually subside.
A source of warmth…
Ronald looked towards the direction of the heat source. It was a small pocket suspended above the hall. If you didn't look for it deliberately, you wouldn't notice it at all.
At this time, I noticed Ronald entering the hall.
A girl wearing casual home clothes came over:
"Sir, how can I help you?"
"Ah." Looking at the girl who smiled at him, Ronald immediately took out the letter and handed it over, "I received this at home this morning, so I rushed over immediately."
"well?"
After hearing Ronald's words, the girl was obviously stunned, but she immediately took the letter and started reading it. The text message of the notice was very simple. After she glanced at it, she cast a strange look on Ronald.
I came to report the same day I received the notice from the Bureau of Investigation...
This was really her first time seeing him.
However, there is nothing wrong with Ronald's letter, and the hidden marks made by the Bureau of Investigation above are also intact. Just follow the procedures.
Immediately, the girl took the lead and walked towards the empty front desk:
"Come on, let's register first."
"Just fill in the general information."
"no problem."
Ronald nodded and followed.
The registration work of the Bureau of Investigation is very simple, name-age-school... these general things are filled in an interview record book and it is over.
After completing the registration, the girl handed back the envelope and explained:
"Mr. Ronald, if you want to report, just go to the Human Resources Office on the second floor."
"I won't show you the way."
"OK."
Ronald nodded, took the envelope and walked to the second floor.
The building structure of the Bureau of Investigation office is simple and convenient. There are steps leading upstairs around the edges of the corridors on the left and right sides of the front desk.
Arriving on the second floor, Ronald looked around.
The interior decoration here is still simple and unpretentious, there are no carpets on the wooden floor, and the lamps on both sides of the corridor are also the most ordinary ones.
Even the locks of the windows at both ends of the corridor can be seen with rust.
How little do the people in the Bureau of Investigation care about their own office...
Shaking his head slightly, Ronald looked around at the room on the second floor.
Most of the office doors here have room numbers hanging on them, and the Human Resources Department is located on the left near the end of the corridor.
He walked over slowly and knocked on the door.
Bang bang bang——
"Is anyone here?"
"Please come in."
A female voice sounded from inside the door.
After pushing the door open and entering, the scene of the office comes into view.
Ronald frowned.
Something's not quite right——
Joining the Mystery Side is not a Sailor Moon pageant. There is only a girl alone in the hall, and there is no sign of anyone at the front desk.
Why is it that in a department like the Human Resources Department, there is only one woman sitting at the desk processing information?
This is the core office that manages the entire mysterious side of Burrenwich!
Ronald's expression was noticed by the lady in the human resources department.
However, she was not in the mood to explain, so she simply asked:
"Sir, what's the matter?"
Ronald handed over the envelope in his hand:
"I received the notification this morning."
"..."
After a quick glance at the page, the lady's attitude changed immediately.
She looked at Ronald with a deep look in her eyes, and then asked in a calm tone:
"Sir Ronald Adler?"
Ronald nodded:
"That's right."
Wow——
After receiving a positive answer from Ronald, the lady opened the drawer, pulled out two pieces of information from a stack of documents and stood up:
"Let's go to the conference room to talk."
"no problem."
Leading the way, she and Ronald arrived at a conference room on the second floor.
Pushing the door open, a unique atmosphere hits your face.
This room had obviously been renovated in the past few months.
Rather than calling it a conference room, it would be more appropriate to call it a lounge.
Almost brand new leather sofas are placed on both sides of the room, and an exquisite wooden carved tea table is placed in the center. The windows facing the outside are also clean without a trace of dust.
"Please take a seat."
Instructing Ronald to sit down on opposite sides, the lady first looked at the information in front of her for a few seconds, and then looked at Ronald:
"Mr. Ronald, you entered Burrenwich a month ago on the Dongfeng."
"right?"
Ronald nodded:
"That's right."
The lady from the Investigation Bureau remained calm and continued:
"When you were registering for the city, you reported a mysterious incident that happened in the village of Yoiz. Is that why you chose to leave your hometown?"
Ronald took the initiative and added:
"To be precise, that night the whole town..."
"The information on this matter is very clear, you don't need to repeat it again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronald was interrupted by the lady in front of him.
The other party looked at Ronald very seriously, and then continued:
"It was actually just a week ago that our investigators came back to Burrenwich."
"At the same time, I also brought back the investigation results from your hometown."
