Chapter 22: Secretary
John's injury has not healed, so he wakes up late after having breakfast with Triss before heading to Edwin Manor with her.
"Mr. Wake, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you have time to point me to my marksmanship? I feel I have improved a lot." Hathaway and Steve met John and Triss together this morning.
"Maybe not, because the Sheriff of Heishui Town seems to want to see me at noon today." John explained with a wry smile.
"Christian? It's really good to be a sheriff, and you might be able to change the group of lazy guys wherever you go." Steve commented after listening.
"I don't know. Maybe just give me a few jobs, or ask me to do the dirty work." Although John said that, it was definitely not the case.
"No matter what, you can leave this little girl to us with confidence." Steve touched Triss's little head.
"I'm very relieved, then she will trouble you. Triss, you have to be obedient." John asked, and the little girl nodded obediently.
"Come on, Miss Triss, I'll show you my manor." Hathaway reached out to Triss.
Triss obediently followed.
"Can the two of them talk about it?" John looked at Hathaway and Triss, one big and one small.
"Who knows, but she will definitely be happier here than herself in a hotel." Steve said affirmatively.
"Besides, they will arrive at the academy in ten days at most. Where can there be more suitable friends for them, and they will also help each other because they are from the same place, so you worry a lot, because I think that little girl is smarter than you. Some." Steve reached out and patted John on the shoulder.
"I hope so," John said.
"It's time for you to set off, don't keep our sheriff waiting for a long time." Steve took out an exquisite pocket watch and said to John after looking at it.
"Please, I really didn't have that many ideas at the time, and maybe the police were really more suitable for me." John glanced at Steve and explained.
"Go, I'm serious, my sheriff." Steve took out his pocket watch and shook it. It was eleven o'clock, and it was true.
"Okay, see you later." After John finished speaking, he mounted his horse and headed towards the police station in Blackwater Town.
It only took John twenty minutes to arrive at the police station. There are two police stations in Blackwater Town, one in the very center of the city and the other at the entrance of the city. The police station at the entrance usually issues a reward for confirmed crimes. .
The police station at the center is the main office that handles files and supports all parts of the city.
John is going to the city center, which is different from the gate at the entrance. The gate is spacious, but there are few people coming in and out.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" John was asked by a police detective sitting on the counter reading a newspaper when he entered the lobby of the police station.
"I told Detective Baylor to go back to the police station this afternoon to find him."
"Ah, I explained that he is in the sheriff's office on the left side of the second floor, you can go up." The detective nodded and continued to look down at the newspaper.
John went up the stairs to the second floor. The door of the room at the end of the left side had the words "sheriff's office" pasted.
John walked to the door and knocked on the door a few times.
"Who? Come in." A dignified voice came from inside.
John pushed the door and entered. The room was more spacious than the outside. There was a bookshelf on the left, a sofa on the right, a writing desk in the middle, and the burly Heishui Town Sheriff sat behind the table. , He is probably in his fifties, with a majestic appearance and a Stalin-style beard, mixed with a little gray and white, recording his many years of vicissitudes.
"My name is John Wick, and Officer Baylor asked me to meet you at noon today." John entered the room and explained his purpose.
"John." Baylor stood up from the sofa on the right and introduced to the sheriff, "Sir, this is the bounty hunter I told you, powerful and full of justice."
"I'm the police chief and chief sheriff of Blackwater Township, Ret Christian. Well, I've seen your profile, and I'm younger than I thought, but it's because of youth that you can be compassionate and compassionate. A sense of justice, we need people like you to hunt down those evil criminals." Sheriff Leiter got up and introduced himself and shook hands with John.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chief."
"Presumably Officer Baylor has already told you that we are recruiting a group of reliable people. Baylor said that you are competent. I think you can do this job well, but in order to deal with the gossip in the police station, I think you can Do some things first and get some results so I can give you a reasonable job. Do you agree?"
"Of course, I have no problem."
"Very good, I think you can deal with these cases, you only need to deal with two or three of them immediately. They are all challenging cases, but it is the challenge that can better reflect your ability." Sheriff Leit said from He took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed it to John.
"In the meantime, you can take this first." Leiter took out a golden badge from another drawer and handed it to John. He mounted the horse with the characters of Blackwater Town Sheriff.
"Of course, this is only a temporary appointment. After you have dealt with these matters, I will adjust you to a suitable position according to the situation. Do you have any questions?"
"I have no problem, I will deal with these cases as soon as possible." John took a look at the documents and found that they were basically old cases.
"Very good, do you have your own weapon? You can go get a set of firearms, or you can ask Sheriff Baylor to take you to Anna for reimbursement. The policeman can receive a certain amount of ammunition and ammunition for free every month. travel allowance.”
"If you still have questions, I'm sure Sheriff Baylor will explain it to you. So now, Interim Sheriff Mr. John, please follow Sheriff Baylor to see where your office is. Sheriff Baylor takes care of Mr. John. "Director Leiter acted resolutely.
"John, I'll show you. You're in the police station's office." Baylor and John walked out of the chief's office together.
"These documents are old cases accumulated by the police in previous years. Because they are difficult to trace and they are quite old, basically no one will pursue these criminals who have disappeared for several years." Baylor told the general situation of these cases as he walked.
"Many of them have fled to other states, or have died in a conflict, who knows, but there are still many traces to follow, but almost no one in the police station will go to ask about this, because They've got their hands dirty with the new case." Baylor took John to a small office.
Opening the door, there was a clerk sitting in the office, writing and drawing on the documents. When someone came in, she raised her head to check. She wore glasses, had blonde hair and blue eyes, and had a beautiful face. She was only 27 or 8 years old.
John also saw the policeman who was writing.
"Sheriff Baylor, do you need anything? Um, is this a new detective too?" The police officer looked in good spirits.
"Anna, this is the new police officer appointed by Chief Leiter, Mr. John Wick. He needs to receive a set of firearms subsidies, as well as this month's ammunition subsidy, and a month's travel allowance." Belle introduced Anna to Anna. Check out Wick.
"Oh, Sheriff Wake, wait a moment, I need a little time." After John nodded, Anna began to write and draw, and added a few chapters to it.
Then he took out a check from the drawer, filled in the amount, and handed it to John.
"Hey, this is a bank check from Blackwater Town."
"Thank you, Officer Anna." John took it and checked it. It was a $150 check.
"Anna, I wish you a happy work." Seeing that the matter was done, Baylor took John out.
"If you have any financial problems in the future, you can come to Anna, and she will handle it for you." Belle mentioned when he took John out.
"This is the archive room. If you need to find any information, you can go down and have a look. The person guarding the information is called Matthew, but he is not here today. If you want to find information, you can also find Anna." Belle chatted while walking.
After a while, the two of them came to the other side on the left side of the hall on the first floor. Inside the door was a larger office. There are quite a few isolated desks with only a few people inside.
"Basically all the police officers have gone out to carry out their tasks now, so there are not many people, you can quietly check your information files here, and basically no one will disturb them." Baylor explained.
"Hey, Baylor, is this a new little police officer, looks very young, is he your nephew?" One of the bored guys in the chair asked after seeing Baylor.
"Do your business." Belle responded and ignored him. The man waved his hands and put his legs on the table, picking up the papers and began to look at them, but they looked more like newspapers.
"That guy's name is Rich. He's an old fritter who has a high self-esteem and has a good relationship with Deputy Director Murray. If you can ignore this guy, don't pay attention to this guy." Baylor whispered to John.
John nodded in understanding.
Afterwards, Baylor took John directly to a corner.
"John, you are here for the time being. If you finish these cases, then the independent office next door will be where you will work in the future." Beller pointed to the vacant office behind him and said to John. ~www.NovelMTL.com~ I try my best. "John said he would work hard.
"John, then you can look at your information here now. I'm going to work. John wishes you good work. You can talk to me if you have time at night." Belle said to John.
"I wish you well in your work too. See you later." John nodded to Baylor.
Watching Baylor leave, John began to look at the documents in his hand. There are five criminals in this stack of documents, all of which are old cases.
The furthest one was five years ago.
Entor Rothrick, tall, with a big nose and pale blond hair, robbed and killed a young couple five years ago, then fled Blackwater Town, and was seen at a pub in Strawberry Town three years ago Once he was with another criminal, and then disappeared. A look-alike was seen in Valentine two years ago, but not sure, some say he fled to the desert further west.
Entor has light brown eyes and a scar on his left arm that was scalded by a red-hot iron.
Note: The guy he was with three years ago was named Sidney, also a fugitive who absconded after killing a rancher's hire who was seen in Cumberland Woods over a year ago figure. Half a year ago, someone at Emerald Ranch saw someone very similar to Sidney. Sidney was tall and thin, his left hand vibrated frequently, a bad gambler and an alcoholic.
Looking at the portrait of Entor, he was a rather pleasant-looking guy, while Sidney looked like a desperado.
It looks troublesome.
John stretched in his chair and put away the documents. John decided to try his luck on the black market.
Where may he find what he wants.
