White Tower Wizard

Chapter 83: The police detective's way of doing things

   Agent Fox, with his right-hand assistant Namadi, walked on the central street of the Sky Camp, looking up at the forest of white pagodas at the end of the road, feeling a little shocked.

   The feeling I saw with my own eyes is indeed different from what I read in the newspapers. The grand buildings always give people an extraordinary impact, and they deserve to be hailed as man-made spectacles.

   He hasn't been to the Sky Camp for many years. The last time he saw the White Tower was in 1903. At that time, he was just an assistant and followed the detectives to handle the finishing touches of the troll attack on the mine.

   Although so many years have passed, the environment here does not seem to have changed much in his memory. It is old, dilapidated, and full of decay. In contrast, the city of Fores is no longer what it used to be.

"It's hard to imagine. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that this place would be part of Fores. I am afraid that besides this street, the environment here is even worse than the worst riverside area in Fores. It is countless times worse! Have you seen those children who are like beggars? I even suspect that the wind can blow them down!"

   Namadi, carrying an oblique backpack, was a little excited. It was the first time he came to the Sky Camp. What he saw and heard along the way made him feel that his previous values ​​had been subverted.

   "This is not surprising, after all, this was originally a concentration camp, and you can't bring common sense from the city of Fores into it."

   Agent Fox looked as usual. He was no stranger to the endless slums and the huge number of slums here.

   "But the area of ​​the slums here is too big! How many people live inside? Those kids just now..." Namadi was obviously moved with compassion, with a worried expression on his face.

   "Sir! Would you like a newspaper? It only costs 60 copper! There are exclusive commentary articles written by the mage reporter who came to the scene at the time for the Siren attacked the Baita incident a few days ago, and more news! Absolutely bargain!"

   Just as the two were walking quickly on the street, a tattered newsboy suddenly came up and tried his best to sell his newspaper.

"Oh?"

   Agent Fox looked at the newsboy, but he didn't really want to read the newspaper, but the little newsboy's words aroused his interest. At the same time, he also looked at the newspaper page that the newsboy was holding in his arms.

   "Come here."

   Fox quickly took out the money, picked up a newspaper and left decisively without stopping.

   And the newspaper boy who sold the newspaper took the money and stood there blankly. This is the simplest customer he has ever met, the rich man...

  A reporter who came to the scene in person?

   Fox glanced at the name of the writer in the newspaper-John Dodge, a reporter for the Daily Mail.

   Well, maybe it's a clue... this person succeeded in getting his attention.

   But as he walked, he looked at the pedestrians on the street, and then recalled the newsboy just now, and soon his brows wrinkled slightly.

   After the train stopped at the platform, they did not walk with the "big force", but found an opportunity to sneak out first.

  His logic is very simple. Since the Magic Bureau has robbed the dominance of the case, let the Takumi who got out of nowhere to deal with the officials in the sky camp.

  Communication, you go; investigate the case, I come.

   After all, he still doesn't want anyone to point fingers at him, especially when this person is still a rival.

   Because of this, they didn't wear uniforms, they just wore very ordinary black formal attire, the clothes that can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Fores.

   But I didn't expect it to be too "eye-catching" here. Even the newsboys can see that they are different. This is a mistake!

   Agent Fox, who had something in his heart, looked at his subordinate who was wearing the same clothes beside him, and saw that Namadi was a little absent-minded.

   won't you still think about the question just now? The impact of the slums is still too great...

   He was a little helpless, pondered his words, and began to answer.

"...Actually, the population figures of the Sky Camp in recent years have not been counted, one is because it is useless, and the other is because it is too difficult. However, before the concentration camp was abolished, all the criminals, plus guards, plus service personnel, The total number is more than 218,000, and it is already bloated to the extreme... Now, after the lifting of the ban, there have been many floating populations, so you can guess for yourself..."

   Agent Fox rarely explained it in detail. They were about to reach the end of the Central Avenue, and in front of them was the uphill road leading to the White Tower Forest Heights.

   "More than two hundred thousand! With such a large population, do all the materials needed by Friesi?" When he first came into contact with this place, Namadi was very curious about everything.

   Walking on the ramp, there were almost no pedestrians beside him, Agent Fox also slightly turned his attention to the young subordinates beside him, he felt as if he had seen himself when he was young.

   "Yes, no food is produced near the sky camp. This is the largest steel production base in Forex and the southern countries, and it is also the largest in the continent...Look at that..."

   Fox paused, and pointed to the huge white pagoda in front of him. Then he continued:

"...The magic liquid production base. So every month there is a supply fleet going back and forth here in Fores, not only to retrieve goods, but also to transport supplies... Although the goal of the city hall is every poor in the sky camp, every month They are all able to receive relief food, but the actual situation is as you can see... But compared to the people who died in the mining area~www.novelmt.com~ they are lucky enough."

Fox’s words silenced Namadi and said in a very low mood: "...They are all offspring of criminals, right? Can the offspring of criminals only live on the brink of death?... Is this a problem of criminals, or is it? The problem of the person who caught the criminal..."

   "Namadi! As a police officer, you shouldn't have said this!" Fox was irritated by Namadi's last sentence, and severely reprimanded:

   "As a policeman, you have to remember that fighting crime is a creed that cannot be trampled on. When you have no ability to change all of this, then don't think about these things that shouldn't be your consideration!"

   Fox was very angry, looking at Namadi who was silently scolded by him, he also sighed softly in his heart. I really missed him so much, alas...

He is still a young man, impulsive and easily confused, and full of enthusiasm that has not yet cooled down, but you must understand that their police are just the defenders of social order... If you don’t beat him, I’m afraid you will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing. .

   "We have arrived at the place, put your mind on our next investigation, and stop thinking about it."

  The dialogue ended. The white pagodas on the high ground rose up into the sky, and the scorched ground on the ground, the contrast of colors, successfully attracted the attention of the two...

  ……

   On the other side, Green is carrying a lamp, walking with Casper and Vivian in a dark passage.

   This endless underground passage that seems to be endless, makes Green feel like a mouse running around in the ground, when is he a head...
