After some time, Frank and Peter walked out of the hotel. Peter handed the shorthand notebook to Frank. He glanced at it and returned it to the latter.
At this time, Peter asked: "Are these two people suspicious?" Frank shook his head and said: "No, they are not only travelers, but also warriors. You should have noticed the swords and hunting bows in their room, right? From these two
Judging from the behavior and conversation of the gentlemen, they should be graduates of the college, but it is obvious that they cannot be the murderers."
Blue Hope Square seemed very lively in the morning. This is a place where travelers from Grant like to hang out. The stone floor of the square was covered with pigeons and seagulls. When the crowd walked by, these birds fluttered their wings and flew into the sky.
After flying around in the blue sky, it landed on the ground and pecked at the food left by humans.
Houses in tropical and subtropical areas usually have a large porch built at the main entrance. The roof of the porch can block the hot sunlight and slightly lower the indoor temperature. People can also enjoy the wind in the porch and enjoy the scenery.
The West Sea Sail Hotel and several surrounding hotels, including those taverns, have built huge porches outside the gate. The porch of the hotel is usually also used as a dining place. Travelers are willing to sit here and enjoy the sea breeze and eat delicious food.
Also enjoy the beautiful sea view of the Wesko Sea.
After finishing breakfast on the white wooden porch, Steven and Kate ordered two more cups of coffee. They each held a newspaper to read. The one they held in their hands was the new Westin Morning News. The headlines of the morning paper were exactly
Continuously reported homicides.
The headline is: Another person was killed last night, and the number of people killed by the New Westin Serial Ripper has increased to 18.
The general content of the news was a report about the continuous discovery of disemboweled corpses in the New Westin area about ten days ago. These corpses were usually found in dark alleys. The specific circumstances of the corpses found were determined by the police.
The reason for handling the case was not announced. The reporter expressed dissatisfaction with the official concealment of the details of the case in the news, but also reproduced the police notice, hoping that people would try not to wander outside at night, especially near dark alleys, to avoid accidents.
The New Westin Serial Ripper, this is the name given to this killer by the newspapers. Although reporters were very dissatisfied with the police for concealing the details of the case, they continued to learn some general information through various official or private channels.
Although the series of reports contained various rumors and speculations, they also put great pressure on the city hall and the police department. Faced with increasing pressure, the police had to agree to hold press conferences and regularly release the progress of the case.
Steven and Kate spent a leisurely morning reading newspapers and sipping coffee on the hotel porch. They also made some speculations about the reported serial murders, but due to the content of the newspaper reports, it was impossible to tell the truth.
False, there is too little real information, so we can only make some hypothetical guesses.
Soon it was lunch time, and the two of them walked across the square to a street near the dock area. There were many restaurants cooking seafood. The ingredients came from the catch every morning in the West Sea. The small streets were full of such small restaurants.
, business was very hot at noon.
In addition to selling seafood, the small restaurant also brews its own oatmeal beer. During the beer brewing process, locally produced yellow berries are added, which adds a unique aroma and taste to the beer. The two ordered several kinds of seafood here.
After that, I ordered a few glasses of this oatmeal and cranberry beer, and thoroughly enjoyed this delicacy produced in the West China Sea.
After lunch, as agreed with Agent Frank, the two got into a carriage and came to the Municipal Square in the city center. The New Westin Police Station was on the west side of the square. There was a square on the front of the porch column of the tall granite building.
The stone plaque is engraved with the words of the New Westin Port Police Department, and the double lion flag of the Rose Confederacy is flying on the roof.
The two walked into the porch, and after a brief communication with the staff on duty, they came to the hall. There was a glass window on the right side of the hall. There were more than a dozen people queuing in front of the window. This was the place where the temporarily added supervised personnel registered every day. Later, two
People lined up and came to the window. Inside was an old man in uniform, holding a notebook and pen. He said without raising his head: "State your name and hotel address, and then give me the note for sealing."
This old man is probably approaching the age of retirement. He speaks loudly and slowly, but he obviously has some hearing problems. He often needs people outside the window to repeat his information loudly. Steven and Kate are announcing themselves.
After repeating their names and addresses loudly twice, they took out the piece of paper Frank gave them and handed them to him for stamping before being signaled to leave by the old man.
After returning to the hotel, Steven said to Kate: "Kate, I think it is a complete waste of time to continue like this. There has been no progress in the case. Do we really have to wait until the case is solved at some point before we can leave?"
Kate shook her head and said: "It seems like this is the only thing we can do now. We can also wait and see what the outcome of this case is."
Steven said: "I am actually very interested in this case! But according to the newspaper reports, it is obvious that we don't know how long it will take until the day when the case is solved! Although the police may have some information that has not been made public, based on the new
With a city as big as Westin and a population as big as Westin, and compared with the pitiful number of police officers in the police department, it feels like their hope is very small. I think the best way is to arrange for officers to squat in corners of the city at night.
Catch the murderer who is committing the crime, but obviously the pitifully small number of police officers cannot do it. Even if the city hall agrees to send out city defense troops, the total number of people is still much worse."
Kate nodded and said: "You're right, Steven. It's an effective way to send people to guard everywhere, but the possibility of sending out city defense troops is very low. There are many mercenary groups in the city! I guess the police didn't think of it.
This method, but they may be mobilizing various resources, and as the case progresses, they may take action."
"Then we have to find something to do during this period! Waiting like this is not an option. I mean we drink coffee and read newspapers in the hotel every day. This is such a waste of time!" Steven said.
Kate smiled and said: "Steven, it seems that you can't wait any longer! I know what you mean. You want to find a place to train your combat power, right? This way you won't waste time waiting."
Steven nodded: "That's what I mean! Daily training makes me feel fulfilled. If I don't do it for a few days, I feel uncomfortable all over my body. Kate, don't you feel this way?"
Kate smiled: "Of course I do too! It seems that the experience of living in the rainforest has completely changed us! So what are your plans?"
Steven said with some excitement: "Then let's go out and look for it! It's best to find a suitable place nearby. We have to register at the police station every afternoon, so that we can't go to the countryside to train."
The two walked out of the hotel, bought two sun hats from the vendors in the square and put them on their heads, and then started looking for a suitable place near the dock area.
