121 The importance of being able to speak a foreign language
Helden Street is a Boer enclave, and the full name of this street should actually be Van Hellden Street, a name with a very Dutch character.
The location of the attack of the two patrol officers was in a small alley, most of the houses on both sides of the alley were damaged, only some ruins remained, two patrol officers were a Boer and the other was Indian, they were shot directly by people using a pistol at close range, one patrol officer was shot in the face, one patrol officer was shot in the back of the head, both were killed by one shot, the murderer was very cruel, after shooting two patrol officers, he also took away the patrol officer's personal equipment, which fully shows that the murderer is very familiar with the situation nearby, in fact, it is at the intersection 200 meters away, There was an infantry post of the 3rd Regiment in West Yorkshire, and by the time they heard the gunshots and found the scene of the crime, the murderer had fled.
"According to the regulations, such alleys are not within the patrol range of the patrol police, so they should have been led here and then suddenly attacked, and the soldiers at the intersection only heard two gunshots, so they should not have had time to resist at all-" Inspector Joe Russell, who was in charge of the patrol police, had arrived at the scene, he was August Russell's nephew.
"Are there any witnesses?" Roque looked around, there was no one but the police, and even the soldiers who had arrived first had returned to their posts at the intersection.
"No, the Boers in this alley have already moved away, that's why the rebels chose this place." Joe Russell's face was ugly, this kind of thing happened on the first day of the police station, and the police station was not good from top to bottom.
"How's it going?" Henry hurried to it.
"It's not good—" Roque sighed, if it was in Cape Town, Roque could still find an informant to inquire about the news, and in Pretoria, Roque was also blindsided.
Speaking of informants, in fact, it is not impossible at all, Christian and Padbeck are Boers, as long as they spare no money, they should be able to gain the trust of the local Boers, with this natural advantage, maybe Roque can rebuild the intelligence network.
Of course, even if the intelligence network is rebuilt, it will be a matter for the future, and it will not be useful now.
"What to do, Locke." After listening to Joe Russell's introduction, Henry was also helpless.
"Locking down this area, going door-to-door, I don't believe there are no witnesses, at least people nearby should know something we don't know." Roque believes in crowd tactics, think of the aunts in Chaoyang District, they are the terminators of criminals.
"Yes, although there were no witnesses at the scene, people in the vicinity must have known the news, and if they can't find the rebels, they will throw everyone in the area into the camp." Joe Russell was so murderous that he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one.
No, the refugee camps in Pretoria are now called concentration camps, and this is the first time the term "concentration camp" has appeared.
"Won't it be too much fanfare?" Henry thought about the amount of work to go door-to-door, and his teeth hurt a little.
"It's to make a big show, otherwise this kind of thing will happen again in the future." Although Roque disagrees with Joe Russell, Roque has to admit that in the current situation, Joe Russell's solution is almost the only option.
The form of law and order in Pretoria is indeed not optimistic, the first day of patrol police patrols on the streets, this evil incident occurred, if the police department does not respond properly, then this evil incident will become more and more intense in the future, even ordinary Boers will be affected by those rioters, and the form of law and order in Pretoria will deteriorate further.
"Then let's get started, Locke, get all the commandos in and go door-to-door, Joe, your men are in charge of cordoning off this area." Henry was ruthless, and since those rebels chose to resist violently, then Henry countered violence with violence.
"Joe, bring a few more policewomen." Roque has a lot of ghost ideas, and when dealing with women and children, the policewoman has more advantages.
Joe Russell was also very clever, and immediately understood what Roque meant, gave Roque a thumbs up from afar, and hurried back to the police station to transfer people.
Roque didn't have to go back to call someone, just let Li De go back, and when he turned around, he saw Martin coming out of a nearby ruin.
"The man must have gone east, three or five people, judging from the traces of the footprints, the age should not be very large, the head, should have called Gaude and Gordon, those two guys have a few hunting dogs, and the dog's nose is very smart." Martin is the one who does the real thing, and after surveying the scene, he has already made a preliminary conclusion.
Roque suddenly realized, he was really dizzy just now, and he didn't think of such a thing.
The power of police dogs should not be underestimated, the two brothers Gao De and Gordon used to be hunters, and soon after arriving in Oak Town, the two raised several hunting dogs for hunting, but Roque didn't know if the hunting dogs could be used as police dogs.
Should-
Pretty much.
Soon, the two brothers Gauder and Gordon led five hunting dogs over, all of them were South African mastiffs like the big ones, according to Gauder and Gordon's words, the South African mastiff is actually not the best hunting dog, but in the Cape, there are not many choices, only to make up the number with the South African mastiff.
The brothers Gauder and Gordon did have a set, and Roque explained the situation to Gauder and Gordon, and Gordon discussed a few words, and then led the hound to sniff the corpse that had been put into a body bag.
The five hounds looked innocent and circled around the corpse a few times, and a hound named "Big Black" began to bark in the direction that Martin had just surveyed.
"Over here—" Gao De seems to be able to understand dog language!
"Keep up, keep up!" Roque was overjoyed, the dog's nose was indeed a spirit.
Walking through the ruins, Roque found half a bloody handprint on a purple tree in his backyard.
That's right!
All were in good spirits.
Rampage all the way, until he arrived in front of a relatively intact house, Gao De did not hesitate, let go of the chain around Da Hei's neck, kicked open the door, and led a group of policemen to rush in.
Daqing ran the fastest, did not stop in the room, and ran all the way to the back door.
Realizing that there was a trouble, Gao De hurriedly said sorry to a woman and two children who were shivering in a corner of the room, and chased Da Hei out the back door.
Roque didn't think it was an oolong, since the big black passed through the house, it meant that the rebels who took away the patrol equipment had also passed through the house.
Although Roque didn't have time to stay, he still ordered Li De to control the people in the room, whether they had anything to do with the rebels or not, and then control the people first.
With the lesson of oolong, Gao De was much more cautious, and when Da Hei began to scream at a house again, Gao De did not rush in, but led Da Hei around the house, but Da Hei's goal remained unchanged.
This time, Gao De has a bottom in his heart.
