Chapter 2: Seizure

The two of them had no intention of eating at the Mayflower Restaurant, and hurriedly ate a light meal of ten coppers in it, and after returning to the mercenary assembly to put away the books, they immediately reported the matter to the local security department. They also went to the scene with the police on duty to walk around the scene, apparently finding nothing.

But instead of just leaving it alone, they were forced to cooperate in the investigation...... If Sheldon wasn't a certified mercenary of the mercenary rally, it would have been fine, but the Security Department had once again used the shameless method of forced requisition to requisition him. After receiving Merlin's acquiescence, Sheldon was relieved and stayed with him in the Security Division for a short time.

That night, they met Webb James, who had stopped the carriage during the day, the policeman who had said he was close to the wanted man. His brother didn't follow, and Merlin and Sheldon sat on the leather seats in the hall of the security department, when they saw each other coming from a distance in a slightly panicked manner.

"You two ......," he whispered angrily as his chest rose and fell, "why do you ...... Feel free to report the crime! When you came out, our security department hurriedly sent out a lot of manpower to check the entire Vatican inside and out. ”

"We did see that wanted man right in the alley!" Merlin said firmly, "I and the coachman have seen it!" ”

Webber raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "Forget it, you two...... It's not easy to let the two of you go, but I'm going to interview the two of you tomorrow. You're going to say that you just happened to see someone who looked like the wanted man, and for all the reason you just looked away. Don't add to the workload of our security division, you should know from a little reading of the newspapers that a girl has recently disappeared......"

"I see." Sheldon pursed his lips and said word by word, "Can you let us go back?" ”

"Meet here tomorrow, you know? The reporter is right at the door of the Security Division, and when the time comes, just do as I say. Webb's tone was low, and his eyes seemed to be driving away some reptile that was in the way.

He turned his head and quickly walked out of the door of the security department and got into a carriage and left.

Ford, who was also an eyewitness, was in Olivia's magic materials store, and the proprietress was not there, but the man was present. Olivia's husband is a psychiatrist who specializes in seeing patients at night.

"What's the matter, Ford, can you sleep?"

Ford said lightly: "This disease will not keep me awake." I slept while listening to "Rakugo", and now I can memorize "Falling Rain", you quack. ”

"Ha, haha......," the psychiatrist smiled rather awkwardly, "because this is a very strange condition, and there is nothing wrong with a routine check-up." ”

Behind the doctor stood a female employee, tall and good-looking. She's known Ford all along, ever since she came to see a doctor.

She took out an eraser that was very similar to the man from her decent white coat, and said with a slight smile: "I have a doctor's eraser." ”

"What's that?"

"I don't know. Maybe it will make you happy again? This is the master's original eraser. ”

"Who would want anything like that......" Ford sighed, his eyes still stuffed with two dead fish even at night.

"It is said that there is only one piece in the world."

"Then why do you have it?"

"Ah...... Don't ......," the woman in front of her stuffed the eraser in her hand into the inner pocket of Ford's chest clothes, "for you." ”

Robin Trareles, the psychiatrist leaned back in his chair and said with a pleasant expression: "Open Rakugo, and the scene will appear in front of your eyes, and it will be very comfortable to listen to." ”

"Yes, but I think it's more boring than chanting."

The pleasant look on the psychiatrist's face vanished.

"It's so heartfelt that I can't sleep anymore, but it's really serious." Norma Jimenez, who is also the woman behind the psychiatrist, holds a record board.

The psychiatrist suddenly leaned in Ford's face: "Ford, what do I look like?" ”

"Gorillas." Ford said truthfully.

Norma smiled lightly and heavily, and Robin's face was full of embarrassment.

"Not bad." The psychiatrist scratched his head like a real gorilla. With Ford answering, the three of them soon ran out of words.

"Ford, why don't you get married sooner."

"These words are even more abrupt than my late birth mother crawling out of her grave and making me wake up early."

"Master, the next patient is still waiting." Norma closed her eyes and looked up slightly.

"What's that...... Once you get married, you can sleep in peace. Robin swallowed and said with difficulty.

Ford slowly stood up, and although he stood up as much as he didn't, he said with a blank face, "This is a declaration of surrender as a doctor." Okay, I'm leaving. ”

The doctor immediately leaned on the table next to him and issued a bill: "I will prescribe you a little more effective medicine, you will go to work again later, right?" Don't eat it right away. ”

"I see." He slowly closed the door to the small clinic, and the moment he closed it, he saw Norma smiling at him.

Truth be told, the woman was pretty good-looking, eighty percent higher than the average of all the women he had ever seen in the carriage. Therefore, Ford gave Norma one more look. He walked out of the examination room and found a man standing by his carriage, and looked intently at Webb, who had stopped him during the day.

"Hey, what's the matter with you?"

Webb said angrily, "We got word that you have something to do with the disappearance of the young woman at Lily Street. ”

"Why do you know I'm here?" Ford used declarative sentences instead of interrogative sentences.

"I went to your house, and I didn't see your carriage, I wanted to break through the door." Webb looked at the window of the carriage, not at Ford's face.

"Are you trying to pry open my car door?"

"If you had cooperated with the investigation, I wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Is this really an investigation? Why are you a person? ”

Webb didn't answer Ford's words directly: "It's very simple, you don't do anything bad and open the door." ”

Ford nodded and opened the door. He looked inside the carriage, then in the front seat, and his gaze finally stopped at a spell in front of the carriage.

This is the technique that every cab is equipped with, and it will record the traces of the car inside and outside the car every day, including everyone seen along the way. This can be very effective in stopping bill evasion or committing some misdeeds in the car.

"It's a recording technique that allows you to shoot inside and outside the car."

"Yes."

"What time is the camera?"

"It's triggered footage, which is recorded when passengers behave suspiciously when they get on and off the bus, and the video can be stored for about two weeks."

"Let's take a picture of it."

"What?"

"You picked up the girl at Lily Street." Webb said as he pulled out the short wand from his belt, and with a light touch on the technique, the contents were absorbed into the tip of the wand.

"Me?" Ford hasn't understood exactly what's going on.

"All in all, the footage of these two weeks is in our custody, which can be regarded as seizure. If you have any other questions, please cooperate with our investigation. However, please do not call the police. ”

"What if I go?" Ford said.

"I don't know, maybe a wanted criminal with a magic gun will come and kill you." Webb said, got into one of his own little carriages, and walked away in a hurry, leaving Ford alone in the dark night.

It was dark and it was almost midnight.

Norma was sitting in Ford's carriage when she asked him to send her home by name. Ford seemed a little embarrassed to take the money.
