Chapter 50: Artillery Battalion
"Hey, it's Annie, what's the matter?" It took about two minutes for the phone to connect, and from the microphone came a faint emotionless voice from Inferno.
Hearing this voice, Yi Anne suddenly lost her words.
Before the call, Yi Annie obviously had something to say, such as asking about the underground parking lot before, caring about those who were left in the underground parking lot at the time, complaining about the bracelet that had protected her twice, and talking about the Devil's Tower in the United States that she had been dreaming about at night in the past two days.
Yi Annie paused, and finally said: "The bell on the hill in the city is the sacrificial bell that exploded a hundred years ago, do you know this?" ”
Inferno, who was still dealing with the blood pool in the apartment building in Long Lake Park, raised his eyebrows: "You wait a minute. ”
Anne heard the background sound of Inferno's call becoming noisy, as if she had walked into the crowd from a place where no one was there, and there seemed to be the sound of water flowing in the background with echoes and mechanical noises. For a moment, Anne felt that she could not imagine the environment in which Inferno lived.
After a while, the background sound of the call fell silent again, and this time, it was Ghazir's voice that came from the phone: "Miss Annie, it's great to hear that you're okay, we were worried about it." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, how are you doing?" Yi Annie felt a little comfortable in her heart, and this was the greeting she was looking forward to.
"There are some follow-up things to deal with, but it shouldn't be a big problem." Gazir paused, "Where did you learn about the Sacrifice Bell?" ”
Hearing Ghazir's question, Iannie said what Emily had told her before: "If you have time on Saturday, which happens to be an open day, you can go to the library of the artillery barracks." ”
After saying this, Yi Anne asked again: "Gazir, do you know anything about the Devil's Tower in the United States?" ”
Hearing the words "Devil's Tower" on the phone, Gazir's expression suddenly became serious: "Miss Anne, do you have any new clues?" ”
Ian Anne also felt that there was no need to hide this matter from Gazir, the Devil's Tower was a sacred place for the Indians, and it was estimated that Ghazil could know something, so she replied: "One is that the structure of the devil is somewhat similar to the Devil's Tower, and the other is that I can always dream of the Devil's Tower recently." ”
Gazir nodded across the phone, and said, "It just so happens that my grandson will go to the vicinity of the Devil's Tower to investigate recently, and I will let him pay attention." ”
Feeling that she had said everything that needed to be said, Yi Annie was also in a better mood, and took a few bites of the fragrant mutton burger, and suddenly felt that the mountain she had just climbed was probably in vain.
Grabbing the printed papers, Anne took a leisurely walk back to the press center and began to prepare for the next week's manuscript.
It was only Thursday, and theoretically she still had two and a half days left, which was very generous.
In the afternoon, the phone on Anne's desk rang again. When she looked at the caller ID, it was Rosie from the front desk of the press center.
"Hey, hello, this is the mysterious version of Anne." Anne Yi picked up the phone.
Rosie's tone was a little excited, a little eager: "Annie, come here, there are a lot of people here looking for you." ”
Yi Annie was stunned, and her first reaction was that these "many people" were not her own readers. But theoretically, if she were a reader, Rosie would have told her and asked her if she wanted to.
With a puzzled face, Iannie went to the reception hall at the door - Rosie didn't say "a lot of people" casually.
As the front desk manager of the press center, Rosie naturally has a wide range of contacts and has a good memory of the people she has met. She has seen almost all the people who come to Annenie, Inferno, who is more handsome than a star; Xiande, who is sought after by the advertising department and the financial edition, and his assistants and bodyguards; There are also police officers from the police station who often come to the press center to look for trouble, and they have brought a few police officers.
These people lined up the normally empty lobby, a scene that has been seen a lot lately, such as yesterday morning's press conference. The staff passing by saw that the police officer who presided over the press conference yesterday was also present, and almost thought that the police had found some information today and planned to hold a press conference here.
Anne looked at the crowd of visitors, but did not see Ghazir, presumably he was left behind in Long Lake Park to continue to deal with affairs.
Seeing Yi Annie coming, Xiande was the first to speak: "Miss Annie, I heard that you have clues about the sacrificial bell, can you tell us more?" ”
Anne was a little puzzled, and she also told Gazil at the time that Emily had told her about it, and that she should go to Emily if she wanted to ask.
After telling Xiande the ins and outs of this incident, Anne turned to look at Rosie, "Rosie, is Emily in the press center?" ”
Rosie looked at the system, "Emily is out on the field. ”
Yi Annie was a little helpless, so she asked for Emily's mobile phone number from Rosie and called, but she didn't get through for a long time. Emily only mentioned it casually when she told her about it at the time, and did not say what book she had seen it in.
Xiande also felt that he probably couldn't contact Emily for a while, and looked at the time on his watch: "Let's go directly to the artillery barracks." ”
Yi Annie was stunned by Xiande's casual tone, and then remembered Xiande's identity, his family was a big warlord, and there must be a lot of power in the current army.
Asked Rosie to help her register her field records, and a mighty group of people left with Anne.
Seeing this situation, Rosie couldn't help but sigh with another front desk: "Since Yi Annie came to the mysterious version, her popularity is really high." ”
Yi Annie and the others went out of the press center, Yi Annie turned a corner directly, and planned to go to the artillery barracks, but was pulled by Inferno from behind.
"Where are you going?" Inferno asked.
Yi Annie pointed to the gate of the artillery barracks next door to the press center in a bit of a daze: "Just go there." ”
Inferno tilted his head and pointed with his chin to a row of cars parked in front of the press center: "Get in the car." ”
The three black cars were the same as the ones that Annenie had seen at the door of the apartment building, and Xiande had already sat in the second one. Anne was dragged into the third car by Inferno, and the officer got into the front car. There was also a line of police cars following behind.
Before Yi Annie rolled her eyes, the car had already driven to the gate of the artillery barracks.
There was a row of tall hedges within the iron railings of the artillery barracks, so Anne had never seen them before.
Passing through the gate, there are two sentry booths behind the hedges, one on the left and one on the right. From Yi Annie's point of view, a person in the passenger seat of the first car poked his head out, took out a document and handed it to the guard on the right, the guard nodded, and the row of cars entered smoothly.
Behind the main entrance is a wide isosceles triangular driveway, flanked by two rows of cannons, which Anne has not studied much, and she does not see any variety.
At the end of the driveway is a large green and white wooden house, which looks no different from those houses in the wealthy area of Xia City except that the gate is a little larger.
Someone in military uniform stood at the door of the house, seemingly waiting for the convoy to arrive.
Several cars stopped at the bottom of the isosceles lane, and the first to get out of the car was the person in the passenger seat of the first car, who got out of the car and saluted the people waiting at the door, and said a few words, Yi Anne had not seen him in the group of people in the press center before, presumably this person had been in the car before.
Yi Annie saw that Inferno, who was sitting in the back seat with her, had no intention of getting out of the car, so she sat in the seat with her eyes and nose. For a while, the needle drop in the car could be heard, and Yi Annie felt very embarrassed.
After the man who got out of the car and the man in military uniform finished talking, the man in military uniform motioned to a few doormen to open the doors of several cars, Yi Annie looked at the car door that was pulled open on the side, and then looked back at Inferno, and saw that he nodded slightly before getting out of the car.
Anne, Inferno, and a group of police officers stood aside, and the uniformed men at the door began to greet Xiande again.
Yi Annie was actually quite curious about the artillery battalion, and wanted to look around, but found that there were guards with guns next to her, so she had to stand stiff with her neck. She couldn't help but secretly slander to herself, why did she want to follow, she was simply uncomfortable.
I don't know how long I was stunned, but the door finally entered the introduction stage, and Xiande introduced the police officer, Inferno, and Yi Annie to the one in military uniform, and Yi Annie knew that this person was a non-commissioned officer in charge of the external affairs of the artillery battalion.
When it was introduced that Yi Anne was a staff member of the press center, the non-commissioned officer frowned visibly, but still stepped forward to shake Yi Anne's hand.
Anne Yi was also a little helpless, in addition to the vigilance of this work, skin color and gender estimation are also problems. Canada is still a white society, especially in the military, and although the proportion of black soldiers is rising rapidly, the management class is still white. Of the group that came, only a few black and Asian faces were in the police force. In addition, Iannie is the only woman.
After realizing this, Yi Annie was a little uncomfortable, she knew that it would be such a formal way of meeting, and she should not have stayed in the press center.
It's no wonder that the chat with Emily before made her think that it would be a pity not to be able to visit the artillery barracks on the open day, so she came as soon as she heard that she could go to see it today......
The non-commissioned officer probably already knew the intentions of several people, and directly led them into the big house.
After entering the door, Yi Annie realized that this was indeed not an ordinary private house. From the outside, it looks like a two-and-a-half-story house, but after entering, there is actually only one floor, and the two-storey house looks very solemn, the walls are dark red wallpaper, there are several portrait paintings of military uniforms hanging on the walls, and several hanging accessories such as accessories and badges are also in the style of aristocratic officers.
The skylight poured through the skylight, illuminating the entrance hall. The decoration in the hall is also in the luxurious European classical style, and the large chandeliers decorated with crystal beads shine in the sun, and the reflection is sprinkled all over the hall, which is somewhat dazzling. The leather sofa looks large and comfortable, and presumably as a military council, most of the people who come and go here are officer-level figures.
