Chapter 64: Inquiry
Outside the office building of the railway station.
Three men in brown robes and wide-brimmed hats stood at the front of the steps.
Ronald on the second floor could not see their faces.
But from the attitude of the people around you who avoid it, you can understand the identity of these guys.
Secret Police –
There are two types of Grad's secret police.
One is the real secret police, who belong to the special agents who protect the regional and national security order, act with high authority and keep their identities secret.
The other is the ostensible secret police.
Although the same identity is kept secret and has extremely high authority, the second type of person is just holding this identity that is convenient for activities, and the two sides are not the same department at all.
They are actually members of the Grad Mystery Investigation Bureau.
The police on the mysterious side.
The kind of official nature.
Before Ronald entered Brenwich, he was censored by the local Bureau of Investigation.
Although the gentleman who had examined himself was not in front of him.
But as long as you see the momentum of these three people blocking the administrative building of the railway station, you know that the people from the Investigation Bureau have not escaped.
On the station side, Adams was the only one in charge of negotiating with them.
The real top people rarely come here.
As a mid-to-senior member of the Bronwich train station, Adams was already the highest-ranking officer on duty.
It's just a pity that this 'highest' doesn't work very well now.
Even because he was in too much of a hurry when he ran out, Adams was only wearing a thin shirt at this time, which was the same as his secretary Martina, who could only hold on to the winter cold.
Ronald watched for a few seconds.
One of the Bureau's men soon looked up.
At this moment, very few people came out of the second floor when they noticed the movement, and the gaze of the man who looked up was immediately nailed to Ronald.
Almost without hesitation, he immediately asked Adams in front of him what he was doing.
Adams then looked up as well, and it wasn't long before he said in a loud voice:
"Ronald, you come down for a moment."
"This gentleman has something to do with you."
"Hurry up!"
“......”
Shrugging his shoulders, Ronald turned his head towards the stairs.
It was no different from what he thought.
There are only three people on the mysterious side of the entire Bronwich train station area.
Except for themselves, the remaining two stayed in a room outside the station all year round, which was one of the registration offices for the mysterious side to enter Bronwich.
Strictly speaking, it is also a subordinate unit of the Investigation Bureau.
If Patricia had just gotten off the train, she would have been sitting there to register.
So Ronald is the only 'outsider' at Brenwich train station.
It is also natural to be called down immediately.
Before he walked down the stairs, one of the three took the initiative to walk towards Ronald.
Adams was behind, and he didn't forget to shout at Ronald, "You answer whatever people ask."
However, compared to Adams, the investigator in front of Ronald was not so domineering.
The face under the brim of the hat is half obscured by shadows, but it is not unrecognizable.
It was a young man, who looked to be less than 30 years old.
Coming to the front, he first nodded lightly at Ronald:
"Hello, Mr. Ronald."
"I don't mind if we find a place with fewer people to talk to, it's not very convenient here."
"Of course." Ronald had no choice, and even took the initiative to suggest, "We can go to the conference room on the second floor of the office building, which is quiet and no one will disturb us." ”
The investigator nodded:
"Let's go, then."
Ronald led the guys from the Bureau of Investigation to the second floor.
Because the conference room had just been used, the two of them went in and picked two chairs at random and sat down.
Immediately, the investigator recited a spell in a voice that could only be heard by himself.
And then to look at Ronald:
"We can get started."
"No problem."
Ronald didn't know which source the other party's abilities came from.
But that didn't prevent him from knowing the effects of this spell.
Before entering Brenwich, Arida popularized common sense to his mysterious novice.
As long as the members of the [Grad Mystery Investigation Bureau] join the organization, the first thing they will get is a spell used for polygraphing, in addition to the school mark.
This ability is not a hierarchical discriminating machine for the law of cause and effect.
Rather, it is the ability to determine whether the other person is lying or not based on the physiological response of the target of the conversation.
If the interlocutor is rigorously trained, he can get away with it completely.
Of course, Ronald has not undergone this kind of training, so he intends to talk to the other side honestly.
The kind with a little bit of finesse.
At the outset, the investigator asked a seemingly nonsensical question:
"When did you get to the train station today?"
Ronald honestly replied:
"It's a normal working time like everyone else, around 7 a.m., and my colleagues know that."
The investigator went on to ask:
"According to the registered information, you are a member of the Copenhagen School, right?"
"That's right."
"Why work at Brenwich Station."
"Because a friend introduced her, it's Arida, you know."
"You're from the edge of the Joiz Forest......"
"That's right......"
The two asked and answered, and time passed minute by minute.
Finally, after a question that had nothing to do with today's events, the investigator suddenly asked:
"Do you know how to use your own school today?"
"Huh?" Ronald looked dazed and asked, "...... use the technique?" ”
Immediately, Ronald's face suddenly realized:
"Wait!"
"I see!"
"It was a car accident at the entrance of the station...... No, you should have disguised the scene. ”
"You're here today to investigate the mysterious side......"
"Shut up!" Ronald's rambling was immediately interrupted by the investigator, who glanced at Ronald with a low look in his eyes, "Tell me if you used spells today, don't guess for yourself." ”
“......”
Ronald shrank his head in fear, and defended himself in a trembling tone:
"I don't even have a school imprint......"
"Whether it's the Copenhagen School or any other school, I can't even use the spells I learned."
- Ronald didn't lie.
- He didn't learn spells, he used the original text.
The investigator frowned, but continued to ask:
"Did you get into an argument with someone today?"
Ronald still answered honestly:
"I haven't had an argument with anyone today, and I haven't had an argument."
- Magic books can't be considered people, right?
“......”
The investigator was silent.
I haven't used spells, I've never had an argument with anyone......
After thinking for a few seconds, he took out his notepad from his brown coat before he spoke:
"Tell me more about your itinerary for today."
"I'll just make a note at the end."
"No problem."
Ronald smiled happily and honestly stated today's itinerary.
- Itinerary at work.
