Helden Street is a gathering area for Boers. The full name of this street should actually be Van Helden Street, which is a very Dutch name.
The two patrolmen were attacked in a small alley. Most of the houses on both sides of the alley were destroyed, with only some ruins remaining. One of the two patrolmen was of Boer origin and the other was of Indian origin. They were shot directly with pistols at close range.
, a patrol policeman was shot in the face, and a patrol policeman was shot in the back of the head, both killed with one shot. The murderer was very cruel. After shooting two patrolmen, he also took away the patrolmen's equipment, which fully shows that the murderer was very familiar with the situation nearby.
, in fact, there was an infantry post of the 3rd West Yorkshire Regiment just 200 meters away at the intersection. By the time they heard the gunshots and found the crime scene, the murderer had already escaped.
"According to regulations, such small alleys are not within the patrol scope of the patrol, so they should have been led here and then suddenly attacked. The soldiers at the intersection only heard two gunshots, so they probably had no time to resist -
—"Inspector Joe Russell, who is in charge of the patrol, has arrived at the scene. He is the nephew of August Russell.
"Are there any witnesses?" Rock looked around. Except for the police, there was no one there. Even the soldiers who first arrived at the scene had returned to their posts at the intersection.
"No, all the Boers in this alley have moved away, that's why the rebels chose this place." Joe Russell looked ugly. This happened on the first day after the police station was established.
It doesn’t look good from top to bottom.
"How's the situation?" Henry hurried over.
"It's not good -" Roque sighed. If he were in Cape Town, Roque would still be able to find an informant for information. In Pretoria, Roque would also be blind.
Speaking of informants, there is actually nothing that can be done. Christian and Padbeck are both Boers. As long as they spare no expense, they should be able to gain the trust of the local Boers. With this natural advantage, Rock may be able to reconstruct the intelligence
net.
Of course, even if the intelligence network is rebuilt, that will be a matter for the future and will not be of use now.
"What to do, Locke." Henry was at a loss after listening to Joe Russell's introduction.
"Seal this area and conduct door-to-door inspections. I don't believe there are no witnesses. At least the people nearby should know some information that we don't know." Roque believes in the crowd tactics. Think of the aunts in Chaoyang District, they are the ones who
The terminator of criminals.
"Yes, although there are no witnesses at the scene, people nearby must know the news. If the rebels are not found, then everyone in the area will be thrown into the refugee camp." Joe Russell was so murderous that he would rather kill by mistake.
Even if you have a thousand, you can’t let one go.
That’s not right. The refugee camp in Pretoria is now called a concentration camp. This is also the first time the term “concentration camp” appears.
"Isn't it too much of a fanfare?" Henry felt his teeth hurt when he thought about the workload of door-to-door inspections.
"We need to make a big splash, otherwise something like this will happen again in the future." Although Rock disagreed with Joe Russell's opinion, Rock had to admit that under the current circumstances, Joe Russell's method was almost the only option. The security situation in Pretoria is indeed not optimistic. On the first day the police patrolled the streets, this kind of violent incident occurred. If the police station does not respond properly, then this kind of violent incident will become more and more serious in the future, even for ordinary people.
The Boers will also be affected by those rioters, and the security situation in Pretoria will further deteriorate.
"Then let's start, Locke, call in all the commandos and check door to door. Joe, your people are responsible for sealing off this area." Henry made up his mind. Since those rebels chose to resist violently, Henry would use violence to control them.
Violent.
"Qiao, bring some more female police officers here." Rock has many tricks up his sleeve, and female police officers have more advantages when dealing with women and children.
Joe Russell was also very smart and immediately understood what Roark meant. He gave Roark a thumbs up from a distance and hurried back to the police station to transfer people.
Rock didn't need to go back and call for help. He just asked Li De to go back. When he turned around, he saw Martin coming out of the ruins nearby.
"The people should have gone east. There are three to five people. Judging from the footprints, they should be young. Head, we should call Gao De and Gao Deng. Those two guys have several hounds, and the dogs have good noses.
Very good." Martin is the one who does practical things. After surveying the scene, he has already made preliminary conclusions.
Luo Ke suddenly realized that he was so dizzy just now that he didn't even remember that such a thing happened.
The power of police dogs should not be underestimated. The two brothers Gordon and Gordon were hunters before. Soon after arriving in Oak Town, they raised several hounds for hunting. However, Rock did not know whether the hounds could be used as police dogs. p>
Should——
Pretty much.
Soon, the two brothers Gaude and Gordon came over with five hounds. They were all big South African mastiffs. According to Gaude and Gauden, the South African Mastiffs were not actually the best hounds, but they were the best hounds.
Pu, there are not many choices, so we can only make up the numbers with South African Mastiffs.
The brothers Gothe and Gordon did have a plan. Rock explained the situation to Gothe and Gordon. Gothe and Gordon discussed it for a few words, and then led the hounds to sniff the bodies that had been put in body bags.<
/p>
The five hounds had honest faces and circled around the body several times. A hound named "Big Black" started barking wildly in the direction Martin was surveying just now.
"This way -" Gothe seems to be able to understand dog language!
"Follow up, keep up!" Rock was overjoyed, the dog's nose is indeed smart.
Walking through the ruins, Rock found half a bloody handprint on a bigster tree in the backyard.
That’s right!
Everyone is in high spirits.
After rushing all the way to a relatively complete house, Gothe did not hesitate, loosened the iron chain around Dahei's neck, kicked open the door, and led a group of police officers to swarm in.
Dahei ran the fastest and ran straight to the back door without stopping in the room.
Gothe realized that something had happened, and hurriedly said sorry to a shivering woman and two children hiding in a corner of the room, and chased Dahei out the back door.
Rock didn't think it was an error. Since the black man passed through the house, it meant that the rebels who took away the patrol equipment also passed through this house.
Although Rock didn't have time to stay, he still ordered Li De to control the people in the room. Regardless of whether they had anything to do with the rebels or not, he had to control the people first.
After learning the lesson of Wulong, Gao De became more cautious. When Da Hei started barking at a house again, Gao De did not rush in. Instead, he led Da Hei around the house, but Da Hei
The goal remains unchanged.
This time Gaode felt confident.
***The author has something to say***
The recommendation position is really too tight. I will recommend it on Wednesday next week and on the home page next week. It is estimated that it will not be available until the middle of next month. This is not good news, because it means that two updates of 4,000 words a day will continue for a few more days.
, brothers who want to watch it all at once, may have to wait; of course it’s not bad, because then there will be more free chapters——
