Thomas is very irritated now, it has been more than four hours since he received the anonymous letter, but there is still no clue here, he has already submitted a curfew application to the city council three hours ago, and there is no reply so far, and the apex is the fastest update

There was a reason for the captain's irritability, if the man who wrote the letter had not lied, then there was not much time left for him, he needed to find the cultists before midnight, or the consequences would be dire, and the bastard who wrote the letter had left no clues, and Thomas could not convince the council, so he could not ask the navy of Port Ackroyd, thirty miles away, to assist in the investigation.

Guderies is one of the largest cities in the south, with more than 200,000 natives and 300,000 migrants living in the city, and the only way to search is a carpet search without enough clues, but even if the guards are dispatched, it is almost impossible to find a group of people who are interested in hiding in less than half a day.

What's more, in addition to his second guard, the other three guards are basically suspicious of the warning on the anonymous letter, although they also joined the search for Thomas's face, but it is difficult to say how dedicated they can be.

All Thomas could do now was resign himself to his fate, and in fact even his own subordinates didn't understand why he held the anonymous letter so seriously, a secret that only he knew.

When he was still a rookie who had just entered the garrison, it was such an unsigned letter that changed his fate, allowing him to crack a major case that the city council valued very seriously, and was favored by the old captain at that time, who saw in him those valuable qualities, including persistence, calmness, selflessness, and a keen sense of danger, so he took him with him and cultivated him carefully.

After more than ten years of the old captain retired, the second guard team to elect a new captain, Thomas and another vice-captain named Og were the two most promising at that time, Thomas won in the resume is beautiful, with the support of the old captain's lineage, and Auge is more advantageous in seniority, he has a longer lead time, his ability is not weak, and he has also received the support of many old people, in short, from the situation at that time, both of them have hope to take over as captain, and even from the initial feedback, Auger is slightly ahead of Thomas in the support rate of a few decimal places。

As a result, just the day before the start of the campaign, Thomas once again cracked a major unsolved case, and the murderer who had escaped the law for decades was arrested, this incident made his voice rise to the highest point at once, the guard is a place that speaks by strength after all, and everyone is willing to follow the capable captain, so some of the original wavering centrists also voted for Thomas in their hands, and Auge saw that the general trend had gone and calmly chose to abstain, and finally Thomas naturally became the new captain of the Second Guard.

And all this is also because of an anonymous letter, like the previous one, this letter appeared at the right time, sometimes Thomas will wonder if he is the illegitimate child of the goddess of fate, and there always seems to be an invisible hand pushing him at critical moments.

However, while feeling lucky, Thomas is also vigilant in his heart, there is not always a free lunch in this world, so although the person who sent the anonymous letter repeatedly called himself an enthusiastic citizen in the letter, it may not be impossible to hide other thoughts, Thomas also had this in mind, but the captain of the guard felt that as long as he enforced the law impartially, he would not leave the other party any opportunity to take advantage of.

He only pursued the clues given in the anonymous letter, and did not act according to the requirements of the other party, nor did he conduct any transactions with the other party, and the subsequent interrogation and arrest were also strictly in accordance with the procedures, and he did not wronged a good person or let go of a bad person, and judging from the previous two incidents, the effect of the anonymous letter was indeed positive.

Thomas was relieved that this was the third anonymous letter he had received in eight years, but it was more serious than the previous two, saying that a group of cultists was plotting something in the university town of Gudries, and that they were going to start moving before midnight tonight.

With the previous two incidents, the captain of the guard naturally did not dare to take this anonymous letter lightly, especially the cultists mentioned in the letter also coincided with his previous speculation.

Thomas's worst fear happened, Gagarin probably had repaired the evil magic channel, but I don't know if the cultists killed him, the captain of the guard didn't really care too much about the old magician's life or death, Gagarin hadn't done a few worry-free things in Gudris in the past few years, Thomas always felt that this guy's greed would eventually kill him, and what he wanted to make sure was that there were no other innocent people in the city who buried the old magician's greed.

The captain of the guard had just finished searching the nearby area, but still found nothing, except for a few guys who were suspected of being smugglers, and the spirit of the other people in the guard team had obviously begun to relax, although everyone had not said it, but they had already begun to question the authenticity of the anonymous letter in their hearts.

Thomas didn't have a good idea of what to do about it, but he had built up enough prestige over the years that he was quietly carrying out his orders even though his men had other ideas in their hearts.

However, the vice-captain Damon's face was flushed with worry, and after the pair left, he walked to Thomas's side, "It can't go on like this, our progress is too slow, and we can't even search a third of the city by midnight." ”

"Well, what's your suggestion?"

"I suggest that we re-route our search and prioritize areas with a high probability of searching. Dimon took out a map of Guderies and pointed to several places marked in red, these are the places where Guderies is relatively insecure, and they are basically concentrated in civilian areas, so that the other three teams can search these areas one by one. ”

Dimon took out his pen and marked out the small restaurant that had happened before, and Gagarin's residence and studio were also marked by him, and finally connected into a triangle, and after thinking about it, he also marked the small building that was burned down a few days ago, but put a question mark on the back, "This area is the place I think is the most suspicious, we should start from here." ”

Thomas nodded, "Yes, you think the same thing as I do, but we'll have to wait." ”

Damon was a little stunned when he heard this, "Why?"

Thomas is still very satisfied with his deputy, this is a young talent he has picked up, just like when the old captain found him, Thomas also saw a lot of shining points in Raymond's body, the latter was even better than he was back then, the only thing he lacked was experience, which was also something that the captain of the guard wanted to teach him.

Thomas patted his subordinates on the shoulder, "We're searching the city with great fanfare now, and people who are interested will definitely notice, imagine if you were that group of cultists, maybe you would have started to pay attention to our movements, but the good news is that people's vigilance will decrease over time, it's like a hunt, we need to wait until the prey completely relaxes their vigilance, be patient, it's going to be a long night." ”
