the last king of darkness

Chapter 36 Investigation
Although she was wearing clothes, Rhodes didn't recognize her for a while, but the strange familiarity made him scan it several times.

After removing the clothes in his mind, Rhodes remembered immediately.

Isn't this the heroine of the little crystal ball movie?
But meeting the owner of the pornographic film will not make Rhodes feel cold.

What really chilled him was when Lauren called her:
Miss Alex.

Not only was this not the "Donna" that Raistlin and the others called it, but it was the name he had heard from the echo of the soul of "Bath the Doomist".

Is this a coincidence?
If it's just like this, then it's too coincidental, and it's hard to believe.

But if she is really related to Doomsday Cultists, why did she record such a small video?Why do you show your true colors?Why change your name to associate with Caramon?

Countless questions echoed in his mind, and it took a long time for Rhodes to realize that Lauren was poking him, and the entire Second District Affairs Office cast dissatisfied glances at him.

The young and beautiful consul covered his mouth and smiled, "This kid is really interesting."

Lauren said calmly, "Forgive me, Ms. Alex, he is too young to know the etiquette when meeting a beautiful lady."

A staff member was dissatisfied: "This is too impolite, how can you stare at people like this?"

Lauren smiled: "Perhaps he is deeply intoxicated by the beauty of Your Excellency the Consul and cannot extricate himself from it. This is a speechless compliment to your beauty from a young man who has no ambition and no knowledge of the world."

Rhodes glanced at him in surprise, he didn't expect that the Chief Inspector was hiding very deeply.

The beautiful Consul laughed wildly, much like a certain action last night.

Rhodes forcibly dispelled the inappropriate images in his mind.

He decided to observe the situation first and not announce his discovery for the time being.

Lauren cannot be told about "Alex" until she has a reasonable explanation.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain where he got this information.

On patrol tonight, he could ask Caramon about his ex-girlfriend, "Donna," and find out if this was an awkward coincidence, or was there some deeper secret?

With his thoughts fixed, Rhodes stopped thinking about it and listened quietly to her conversation with Lauren.

Lauren first asked many trivial things, and then asked many things related to her personally, which made the staff in the hall a little dissatisfied.

Alex became the consul of a region at such a young age. She is the idol of all of them. Her work ability is obvious to all. She is gentle and kind to others, and she is so beautiful. There are countless.

Although Lauren is a member of the Internal Affairs Tribunal, she cannot infringe on Her Excellency Alex's privacy like this.

Of all the people, only Rhodes knew that Lauren crushed the real problems and mixed them with a large number of daily problems.

This is an excellent criminal investigation method, which can obtain the desired answer without arousing the vigilance of the other party.

After listening for a while, Rhodes quickly figured out that what Lauren really wanted to know was:

"Do you know Alai the gray cat?"

"Do you know the situation of the Blessing Church in your jurisdiction? Do you have any contact with the former pastor Bass?"

"The situation of material management in the jurisdiction."

But Alex's answer was very official and watertight.

Lauren got very limited information as the conversation lasted two hours.

But after leaving the political chamber, Lauren said in a low tone: "She has a problem."

Rhodes was startled, and quickly asked, "Why?"

"All her testimony is very unfavorable to you. We found out that you lived in Baker Street for three years, and when I asked if there were traces of doomsday cultists on Baker Street, she hinted at me in many ways. Baker Street There have been many strange events, accurate to your address at the time."

Rhode's heart felt like falling into an ice cave.

Wasn't Baker Street the address he'd heard from Bath's soul?
Lauren continued: "The management of material transportation between regions is very strict, and if you want to leave the royal city, you must undergo detailed inspections. This is an iron law. If the Polluter Sect wants to hold any cult rituals, spiritual materials are essential. At least, if the gray cat Alai and Bass want to transport some kind of supplies out of the royal city, it will be very difficult for the consul of the region to go around."

"And her answer, she picked herself out almost perfectly, like she knew what I was going to ask."

Rhodes hurriedly asked: "Then why don't you arrest her immediately?"

Lauren shook his head slightly: "No, the status of the regional consul is relatively high, we can't arrest at will. The information I got will be submitted for review after I go back, and then I can decide on the next step. At present, it is very important to you Unfavorable, and my inferences are all speculations, the adjudication committee may not necessarily agree, and the possibility of approving the arrest of the consul is unlikely."

For a moment, Rhodes wanted to take out the crystal ball and tell him that the consul was even weirder and had more suspicions.

But rationality prevented this action. Even if the adjudication committee saw the crystal ball, it only proved that Alex's figure, kung fu, and scum were first-class. Maybe someone would use this to get online and develop into a secret lover or something.

It's even worse for him.

The really conclusive evidence was the voice echoing in the soul of Bath the Doom Cultist, but he couldn't bring it up.

Even Buzz's soul had already been thrown into the stars and burned.

How to do?
When Rhodes returned to the academy and boarded the hearse bus to Iron Cross Street, he was still thinking about this question.
