The chapel at the end of Long Rock Street, once the church of the goddess of the earth, Shuma, was forced to move to the 5th arrondissement because the number of believers in Shuma increased, and the church was donated to the town hall and used by the security forces to guard the local residents in another way.

This is also the most special and prominent security team among the twelve divisions of Iwabys, except for the general team of the security team, no other detachment has such treatment.

There is an open space in front of the chapel, and the children whose parents need to work hard, usually unable to find a place to go, begin to gather here, and over time it becomes a playground for children in the neighborhood, running and playing, but the bustling scene is also a unique scenery of the 8th arrondissement.

Two streets away from the chapel, you can already catch the children's laughter in the wind, and even the bad weather in the clouds has not been able to stop them from playing, and you can paint a bustling scene in your mind.

Walking around the corner, you can see the unique style, classical and elegant chapel-like building, sharp straight lines, towering spires, intricate and ornate reliefs, etc., easily stand out among the surrounding dirty and dilapidated low-rise bungalows, standing out from the crowd in a place of decadence.

Walk along the narrow streets, through the chasing and running children, step on the blue-gray limestone steps into the chapel, and then walk through the blue and blue light of the day—

The interior was even brighter than the outside, and a gentle shimmer of light poured down overhead, as if the sun had been kidnapped and left behind.

But that's not the case.

The ivory walls are carved with the distant legend of the goddess Shuma in the Chaos Era, and the soaring semi-circular ceiling is made up of sixteen azure inlaid glass panels, all of which must pass through the glass ceiling and sprinkle evenly and naturally throughout the space, creating a strong visual effect of brilliant lighting by the soft halo of light refracted by the surrounding walls and floors.

In the center hangs a metal kerosene lamp depicting the sun, moon and stars in gilt three-dimensional, and in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass facing south, there is a front desk of the security team, which looks like it was once the location of the podium, so that you can easily see the whole scene and watch the people near the entrance of the security team.

Although he had heard of the unique style of the Eighth District Sheriff before, this was Holden's first official visit, and he had witnessed it with his own eyes—not even in his memory, and the strong architecture was even more impactful than the main church of the goddess Umani.

Hodden was a little curious about what the main church of the goddess Shuma looked like now.

However, the dazzling scene in front of them is a daily routine for the security forces, not only do they not perceive the slightest excitement and excitement, but also faintly reveal a little lifeless boredom, and the noise and noise of people coming and going do not feel the lightness and jubilation of vitality at all.

"Knock knock. ”

Hodden stood at the front desk, waited for a long time and couldn't wait for any movement, he could only knock lightly on the countertop, only to see the security officer inside raise the corner of his eye, glance at Hoden with the dead fish eyes that could not be opened, and then slowly raised his right hand at a speed comparable to the sloth "lightning", made a "wait" gesture, and turned his gaze back again.

The speed of the full slow-motion replay is also devastating.

But Holden was not in a hurry, he stood in place and waited slowly, glanced at the security officer who was staring at the information in his hand without any movement, and then began to look at the audience with great interest, quietly looking at the faces of the security team, which is also a unique flavor.

More slow than lazy than patient, Hordon hasn't lost yet. It's true.

Fortunately, Pete was the first to go home and didn't come with him, otherwise Pete would have been depressed by now.

In the end, it was the front desk staff who turned on the sloth mode that took the lead in speaking, "Is there any situation?

"Even emergencies have become less urgent. Hodden spat with a smile.

Without waiting for the other party to respond, he immediately said the reason, "I came all the way to find Squadron Leader Issa, and I'm Holden Herlo." ”

Investigating the ten-year case, Hordon needs Issa's help, otherwise he only relies on himself, and when the characters and things have passed for a long time, he first needs to understand the situation of the case, otherwise he is a blind man touching the elephant.

"Squadron Leader Isa?" The eyes lazily raised, looking at Holden's youthful appearance, and the naked eye could see that his focus and focus gradually spread, one second he was still staring at Holden, and the next second he was already wandering and didn't know what he was thinking.

Slowly, the sloth came back to his senses, looked at the patient Hedon in some surprise, but didn't say anything, just gestured in the direction of the corridor behind him, and said slowly, "Go inside yourself and look for the murder team, that's it." Beware of getting lost. ”

Holden didn't leave in a hurry, leaned on the front desk with great interest, and asked curiously, "What if I came here to report the crime?"

“...... "The sloth is still unhurried, and if it is a victim who actually comes to report the crime, it should want to punch someone.

"Well, urgently. Hodden replied with great seriousness.

The sloth raised its chin slightly, as if it had officially entered the thinking mode, trying to solve an answer, but the long muttering did not move for a long time, it seemed that the brain's thoughts had drifted to another level, which made people wonder how the head worked.

"Hoden?"

An exclamation sounded in the hall, interrupting the "communication" between Hoden and the sloth, and the sound alone could capture the emotions mixed with surprise and joy, and there was no need to turn his head to judge the smile on that face, and to express a warm welcome to Hoden's visit.

Really.

Turning her head, you could see Isa's face with a warm smile from the heart, striding over, followed by two figures, but she directly abandoned her little friend and walked quickly to Hodden's side, "Why did you think about coming over today?

"No, I'm fine. Hodden replied with a smile,

Issa nodded reassuringly, then quickly turned his head to look at the two slower figures behind him, and said in a loud voice, "This is what I told you about. ”

Two curious lines of sight were projected towards Holden, and one of them could even feel a faint fluctuation of psionic energy, as if it was detecting Holden's void and reality.

However, the other party was very secretive, and if it weren't for Hordon's ability to smell some light elements mixed with dark elements, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.
