The conversation between the two was interrupted by Harris who opened the door and walked in. He walked into the interrogation room, followed by a large number of people. Among them, Brett Ellie had already met, but the others were very unfamiliar.
Waiting for everyone to arrive, Brett began to understand a series of regulations and rough plans. The whole process took about an hour, during which the technicians installed bugs, trackers, etc. on Ellie and Worm.
Necessary equipment.
The plan was not complicated. With Ellie and Worm at the center, Harris assigned three groups of police detectives to follow. Ribbon was the commander-in-chief, responsible for dispatching the police officers in the police station.
Harris, as the on-site commander, was assigned to the first group of Falcons, technicians like Brett were in the second group of Elephants, and the third group was the emergency force Jackals. Once danger occurs, they will be the first to respond.
Rush to the scene.
Before setting off, Ribbon called Ellie aside and warned: "The jackal's emergency response time is five minutes. If you find that something is wrong, say the safe word in advance. Do you still remember what the safe word is?"
The eldest lady nodded, "George Pier."
"Yes. Although I don't believe that these ordinary people will pose any danger to you, Worm is different. We need to ensure that he survives. This kid also knows a lot of things."
"I know, Harris just said it. Don't worry, that kid is very smart and he can take care of himself."
"That's perfect. Oh, and when you mentioned the sewer crocodile, we need to evacuate, right? Are you sure?"
Ellie also gave Ribbon a safe word - sewer crocodile - when this word is mentioned, it means that something from the magical world exists, and the police need to be evacuated to avoid unnecessary damage.
"Why this word?" Ruiben asked with some confusion. Generally speaking, the most suitable choice for a safe word is one that is inconspicuous and can be integrated into the conversation.
For example, George's Pier. Generally speaking, George's Pier is called Prince's Pier. Only the older generation will use the name George. The scope of activities of the Old Record Gang is mainly concentrated here, so it will not be too much to mention it in the conversation.
Violation.
But sewer crocodiles? Is this some kind of scary urban legend? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to bring this up in a conversation with a gangster?
Although his heart was full of doubts, Ruiben did not ask any more questions. This might be a code word among wizards, or it might be something else. He has always known how to dabble in such unknown things.
"Oh, by the way. Do you have any extra police officers?" Ellie asked.
"How many are there? Are there any other errands?"
Ellie nodded and handed some of the clues collected in the morning to Ribbon, "Let's start by investigating these nursing homes and see if we can find someone named Kimball."
"As far as I know, these nursing homes and residential care centers are quite old. It would be difficult to find any information."
Ellie thought about it and realized that what Ruiben said was correct. If the police were asked to investigate these places, they would be like headless flies. They would not know where to start.
"Can you find some employees of the nursing home at that time? You can try to ask them what they should know."
"That guy named Kimball? I don't think they can remember it after so long..."
"No, no, I will arrange for people to inquire. You just need to help me find these people."
"Oh, that's no problem. I'll ask someone to take care of it."
"Very good, I'm going to make a call now." Ellie walked to the nearest phone and dialed Scott's number.
The old man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, I was wondering when you would call."
"Why are you so sure it's me?"
"No one would call me at this point. I haven't had much contact with my children since my wife died. They all think I'm crazy."
"Do You have a Car?"
"have."
"I have a job for you."
"So you want to work with me?"
"The police will do their best to investigate some nursing home staff. I want you to talk to them."
"Good idea. I had this plan before, but my personal information is locked in the archives and can only be accessed by specific people. Can you talk to your police friends? Ask them to give me an opening certificate. In this case
, I looked up the information."
"I'm afraid not. You should wait for news at home."
"There's always something I can do now. I've been at home for almost a week, and I haven't spoken to anyone except the apartment manager and the gas collector."
"Then go out and play chess in the park."
"So that those old men and women can say bad things to me? You are simply crazy."
Ellie thought for a moment and said: "Let's start with the recent investigation. After the collapse of Hand in Hand Future Nursing Home, there was only one shipping company that rented that building. You can check this shipping company first, uh,
It's called Monks Ocean Company."
"Do you think the collapse of that shipping company had something to do with those snake people?"
"Just a guess."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the old man's voice rang again, "Okay, I'll check it out. Monks, right?"
"That's right."
After hanging up the phone, Ellie returned to Ribbon and handed Scott's number to him, "If you find anything, call this guy and he will investigate."
The superintendent took the phone, looked at it, and asked, "Is he from your side?"
"No, it's your people."
Under the suspicious gaze of the superintendent, Ellie walked towards Harris and his party.
…
Xing Ze's car stopped at a roadside gas station. According to the map, this was the only gas station leading to Brichester. He planned to do some supplies and repairs here.
Although his physical injuries were almost healed, he was extremely tired from running around all night. He wanted to eat something at the gas station and drink some refreshing drinks before hitting the road. In addition, he also needed to make a phone call to get this information done.
Notify Ellie of what happened.
The gas station store is not big, it can even be described as simple, and there are not many things on the shelves. It took Xing Ze a while to find some non-expired energy bars on the shelves.
The owner of the gas station was a fat man. He sat in the rocking chair, watching the football game on the black and white TV, and cursed from time to time.
"How much?" Xing Ze asked.
The boss glanced at it and quoted a price. Xing Ze put the money on the counter and asked: "Have you ever seen any strange people come to refuel?"
"Weird person? What do you mean?"
"Someone who makes you feel uncomfortable."
The boss grinned and said, "Do you count?"
Xing Ze didn't argue with him. He took his things and walked out of the gas station. On the way to his car, he saw a truck driving into the gas station.
Xing Ze's eyes narrowed, and he calmly walked to his car and got in, but had no intention of starting the car.
