A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

three days later.

"Welcome to the City of Angels!"

As soon as a few people walked out of the train station, they saw a man reaching out his arms enthusiastically and walking towards them.

"Long time no see, Roger." Cruise responded.

As investigators who need to travel all year round, where to stay is the first thing they need to consider every time they visit a new place.

Typically they will work with local police or look for places like hotels and convenient apartments.

Of course, sometimes it’s a combination of both, like this mission.

"We are going back to the police station now." Roger looked around and whispered, "We have brought two carriages...but they are old cars. Please bear with us. The situation is very chaotic now and we can't be too ostentatious. .”

Roger is a police officer at the Lausanne Metropolitan Police. He has a short stubble and looks to be in his thirties or forties.

However, he is not wearing a police uniform now, and he seems to be just a ranch worker with somewhat dark skin.

Cruise nodded in agreement, Levi said nothing and quietly followed the others out of the train station.

Unlike Jinshan City, Lausanne feels wider, or more open, without so many high-rise buildings, and lacks the crowded feeling of St. Francis.

Also, it's warmer.

Levi actually felt the heat at the end of October.

The sky is cloudless, and the sun is shining slantingly.

"It's not far from Toltec, so security has never been very good."

After getting on the carriage, Roger breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"Then there are the problems brought about by prosperity...the development here has been too fast, and no one has solved all the problems. And now, the workers have to express their opinions."

"Did they do anything?" Cruise asked.

"No, or we don't know." Roger said.

"Look outside, our opponents are workers, and workers are everywhere."

"Maybe it's outside this carriage, maybe it's lingering near the police station, or it could be anywhere in this city... There may be spies from the federation of trade unions everywhere."

"Once our police officers appear where workers gather, they will be as conspicuous as prohibition agents who break into a pub." Roger briefly introduced the situation to a few people, "What this means is that the police officers simply do not dare to open the door. According to the investigation, in fact, three police officers have been attacked and their throats were slit with a knife, but the murderer has not been caught yet."

"So how was Demon Stryker caught?" Cruise asked.

Demon Stryker, 43 years old, used to be a manager of a railway company, but later became an ordinary steelworker due to dereliction of duty. He is also one of the leaders of the Lausanne Metropolitan Federation of Trade Unions.

He is also a wizard, with the trait of being a speaker, and his rating is not high, only 4D.

"We found him on a street. He was covered in injuries and his clothes were stained with mud. The officers initially thought he was an alcoholic who had been kicked out."

"Did you get any information from him?" Cruise asked.

"No, at first we thought it was because he refused to leak information, but it wasn't until after the interrogation that we found out..." Officer Roger said, "His audio tape was artificially cut, and his hand tendons were also severed. It was difficult to obtain information. It’s huge.”

This sentence made Li Wei vaguely realize something. I'm afraid the situation in the union here is also very complicated.

At this time, the carriage came to an intersection. Roger opened a curtain behind him, stuck his head out and said to the coachman.

"Turn left here, go around in a circle and go back to the police station to separate Pearson from us."

The carriage turned left in response, its wheels turning gurglingly.

Roger sat back, lowered his head and said, "The situation now is very complicated...and very tense. Everyone is very nervous."

"After Demong was arrested, the workers' nerves were mobilized to a sensitive critical point. As long as there is a slight friction or misunderstanding between us and the union, riots will occur."

"And we can't put Demon back yet. You should look at his appearance and think about what if we just put him back into the union like this, and then declare that we did not torture Mr. Stryker to extract a confession. The injuries were all caused by himself, who would believe it?"

Roger sighed.

……

The police station in Lausanne is much more unpretentious in comparison. The first floor is a duty room, a small hall, several cells and interrogation rooms, and various offices are concentrated on the second and third floors.

The decoration style is also simple. You have to remember that this was 1920. When others were decorating, they would like to change every room to a wallpaper, but the police station has been painted with white and green solid paint.

Roger pushed open the door to one of the rooms and turned on the light.

The light came on, and a somewhat old but fairly complete office was revealed in front of everyone, with a large table, several sofas, desks and blackboards on the walls.

"...The telegraph room is at the end of the corridor, but the telegraph operator does not have a confidentiality level. You need to get started by yourself." Roger said, "The bathroom is in a passage to your left. You can see it when you go in. If you need anything, come to us. The office is downstairs."

After a brief introduction and confirmation that there were no problems, Roger said goodbye and left.

The door closed softly, and Reese breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, but then he felt something was wrong. He wiped the dust on the side with his hand.

"It seems they haven't used this office for a long time." Levi said.

"This is a good thing. We just need an environment without being disturbed." Cruise said, "But to be on the safe side, we still need to check if there are any bugs first. Levi, take out the box, the gray one."

Levi nodded, a gray box was taken out of the space, and Mr. Cruise took out a box with a long metal antenna.

"This is a radio receiver that is very sensitive and can identify a signal if it feels nearby."

Mr. Cruise walked around the office with the receiver, but there was no unusual sound from the receiver.

At the same time, the other two old team members also searched the room, but also found nothing strange.

"I think you can rest assured." Field raised his head and said.

Cruise nodded: "Then start packing."

"Reese, you go out later and rent a few houses."

"Okay." The latter said, he was already used to doing logistics work.

Levi took out the luggage they brought, classified the materials, and put them in different places.

While tidying up, Cruise continued:

"Our next task will be divided into two parts. One is to investigate the monster, and the other is to cooperate with the police to find and arrest the wizards in the union."

"This requires us to divide into two groups to carry out the task... First of all, I would like to ask for your opinion."
